Full-Time Spiritual Business: A Guide to Launching and Scaling Your Spiritual Practice as a Psychic, Medium, or Healer
()
About this ebook
Within everyone is an inner spark calling us toward a higher purpose. For some, that purpose is all about becoming a spiritual practitioner—using our mediumship, psychic, or healing abilities to help others and positively impact the world. This calling is impossible to ignore; a persistent pull that keeps showing up, time and time again.
In this book, we'll dive into the journey of the spiritual practitioner and discover how to turn this calling into a rewarding, full-time career. You'll learn how a functioning spiritual practice works, as well as how to attract clients and fill up your booking calendar. By the end of this book, you'll know what clients expect from you, how to get paid adequately for your work, and how to build a stable foundation, so you won't have to worry about surviving financially. Most importantly, you'll discover your ideal customer (and it's probably not who you think it is).
Full-time Spiritual Business: A Guide to Launching and Scaling Your Spiritual Practice as a Psychic, Medium, or Healer is Johan's second book based on his 14-year career as a psychic medium. Drawing from his experience of working with thousands of clients to date, doing private readings, educating students, and starring in Warner Bros' Swedish Mediums, he uncovers the major misconceptions existing in our industry today and shows you, step-by-step, how to turn your spiritual calling into a fulfilling full-time business.

About the author
INTRODUCTION
Once upon a time, many years ago, I found myself at a spiritualist center in the charming seaside town of Paignton, on the south coast of England. I traveled there from Sweden with a few friends to attend a workshop, give readings, and get the chance to practice my mediumship demonstration skills in front of a British audience.
After years of reading books and studying on my own, I had finally found a mentor and a group of like-minded people to share my development journey with. This was no longer the odd interest I had kept hidden for so long, but rather a genuine calling I now shared with my newfound friends.
Right from the beginning, the entire trip felt like an incredible adventure. England and Paignton had a completely different perspective on mediumship. They were organized with centers, teachers, courses, and the world’s largest organization connected to spiritualism—the SNU. What was considered pretty woo-woo
back home in Sweden was a usual way of life in Paignton.
We spent the weekend participating in exercises, giving readings, and doing platform demonstrations for the local audience. We stayed at a cozy bed-and-breakfast, and in the evenings, we enjoyed dinner at the pub just around the corner. I had a fantastic time, and I will always cherish that weekend with warmth in my heart.
On the last day, I scheduled my own reading with one of the local British mediums. I’ve lost some important people in my life and wanted to see if they would come through. And, of course, I was always eager to study a professional medium at work. From the start, my mother came through, and the medium described her unforgettable (and unnecessarily large) 70s-style sunglasses. It was an emotional and moving reading that reminded me of the importance of our work as mediums and spiritual practitioners.
After the reading, I waited as the medium transferred the audio recording to a CD for me to keep. We chatted briefly about my experience over the weekend at the center, and then the medium said, I can feel you really want to do this full-time.
And yes, he was spot on. For the first time in my life, after trying around 30 different jobs, the idea of working full time with my mediumship felt like the exciting career I had always dreamed of. Helping people connect with their lost loved ones on the other side and passing on their healing messages was something I wanted to do full-time. But was it even possible? Could I make a living doing what I loved while supporting myself and my future family as a medium?
Fast forward about 14 years, and I can confidently tell you yes, it’s possible. Anyone who feels called to work full-time as a spiritual practitioner can make this a reality. Mediumship, psychic abilities, and healing aren’t just spiritual hobbies performed behind closed doors; they are in-demand services with a growing number of interested customers. However, the path to building a spiritual business differs from what many people might think. Staying in our spiritual bubble and offering our services to like-minded people in closed Facebook groups isn’t enough. We need to learn how to switch hats
and separate our personal spirituality from our spiritual business. Like any practitioner in any field, we must be professional to make it work. And in this book, I’ll show you exactly how to do that.
Welcome
Hi! I’m Johan, and I want to welcome you on this journey toward building a full-time spiritual career. I’m excited to guide you through this book and help you either launch or scale your spiritual business.
Most people who follow the path of becoming spiritual practitioners usually recognize that inner spark or pull. You want to do something meaningful, something you’re passionate about, and, above all, you feel called to help others through your spiritual gifts. But to do that, you need enough time and financial security to relax and focus on your clients. You need a functioning business that takes care of you while you care for others. And, unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. As spiritually-minded people, we usually don’t spend much time in the energy of business. We may be educated and knowledgeable in our area of expertise, we might know all about our clients’ energy, auras, and chakras, but our spiritual skills don’t apply when it comes to business.
So, what do we do? Well, usually one of two things happen: We build a basic website and put our Gmail on the first page. Then we post a discounted offer in a spiritual Facebook group and wait. Well, at least we gave it a try, and if we’re lucky, we might be able to turn our spiritual abilities into a time-consuming hobby. Or, option number two, we don’t even give our inner calling a fair chance, and we settle for the classic thought: If this is meant to be, the universe will provide
. Well, it is meant to be, but I’m sorry to say it’s not the universe’s job to provide us with a functioning business—it’s our job. The universe will always nudge us in the right direction; however, it will never take away our opportunity to grow. And, in the grand scheme of things, this is good news.
If we look at the spiritual industry today, there’s no shortage of information, books, courses, etc., connected to developing our spiritual skills. Whether you’re a medium, psychic, or healer, there’s an endless supply of resources. Anyone interested in developing their spiritual abilities can find a mentor or teacher with a quick Google search. But then what? What happens after we finish? What do we do with those diplomas we worked so hard for? How do we turn our passion into something we can do full-time? Well, we do what they do in all other industries: we study those who have gone before us.
My goal for you
This book aims to give you a deeper insight into what it means to run a successful spiritual business because it’s not the same as any other business
. In offering spiritual services, we often face many questions from our clients. Unlike clients in other types of businesses, our clients often
