    EP: 157 Mediumship Myths EXPOSED: Are Attachments & Evil Spirits Real? | Michael Christopher

    In this episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes back evidential medium Michael Christopher for a grounded conversation about some of the biggest myths and fears surrounding mediumship. Together, they explore spirit attachments, evil spirits, possession, protection, meditation, signs from loved ones, grief, healing, and developing mediumship. Maria and Michael also discuss the importance of ethics, discernment, and questioning what you're told. Mediums are human, readings aren't always 100% accurate, and spiritual development should never be rooted in fear. Key Takeaways: Always ask questions. Trust your own discernment and intuition. Stay curious, be a skeptic, and never give your power away to anyone—medium, psychic, teacher, or otherwise.  🔗 Michael Christopher's Links: Website: https://www.michaelchristopher.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@michael.christopher57 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@michaelchristopher2549  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michaelchristophermedium **DISCLAIMER:** Throughout this conversation, we never claim to know everything—because we don't. We are sharing our own personal experiences, perspectives, and understanding at this point in time, because ultimately, our own experiences are what we can authentically speak to. We encourage you to use your own discernment, ask questions, and trust what feels right for you. It is healthy to question everything, regardless of someone's teacher, title, credentials, or the service they provide. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't. Never give your power away to another person. ***INTUITIVE TAROT CERTIFICATIONS begins September 2026 - Sign up now!

    EP: 156 The Truth About Trance Mediumship: Is It Possession? | Sylvester Allen Explains

    In this fascinating and grounded episode of the Maria Gonçalves Podcast, Maria welcomes professional Psychic Medium, Trance Speaker, and Trance Healer Sylvester Allen for an honest conversation about mediumship, trance, spiritual development, and overcoming the fear surrounding Spirit communication.   Sylvester shares his experiences with Spirit beginning in childhood. He takes us behind the scenes of his own readings and describes how Spirit communicates with him through clairvoyance (see), clairaudience (hear), clairsentience (feel), claircognizance (know), clairalience (smell), and clairgustance (taste).  Maria and Sylvester also dive into one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding trance mediumship: Is trance possession?  Sylvester explains trance as an energetic blending and merging of the mind between the medium and Spirit—not possession—and discusses why trust, surrender, altered states, and understanding your own mind are so important when developing trance. One of the most powerful messages from this conversation is that your mediumship is uniquely yours. Teachers can guide and inspire you, but ultimately, developing mediumship is a journey of self-discovery. Whether you're a developing medium, curious about trance, afraid of opening up spiritually, or simply fascinated by how mediums experience communication with Spirit, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective. 🌐 Connect with Sylvester: Website: www.sylvesterallen.com Booking Link: https://planoly.store/astronomics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567972850201 The Threshold: The Craft: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1006890905245851 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SylvesterAllenMedium TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumsylvesterallen Support the show ✨ Thank you so much for tuning in — I truly appreciate your time and energy!
