This group began sitting in July 2013 as an experiment using the 'Basic Guide' published by the 'Scole Experimental Group' in 1996.

We've changed the way we sit over the years. I am continuing to develop trance mediumship and Liz gives a mixture of evidential clairvoyance, inspired speaking and trance...

Our intentions are to receive information that will help us understand the bigger picture, why we are here, what happens when we die, the mechanics of mediumship and how we can help in raising the quality of consciousness...

127th Sitting 24/01/2017


We had the room setup as usual.

Brian joined us this week as a guest sitter.

I did the opening prayer at 7.10pm, turned out the light and put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge Visualisation Exercise...

Liz found herself sitting by a trickle of water through ferns into a well. As she watched it, it seemed to turn into a beetle, a ladybird and then Liz became the ladybird and flew off with the words 'Ladybird ladybird fly away home...' She was flying over a patchwork of fields going on and on, eventually coming to a corn field where there were teenagers sitting on haystacks. Liz became one of them and then found she was an Indian elder and the teenagers wanted instruction from her, they wanted to learn how to live off the land and survival skills. They were trying to transduce the energy from the sun by doing various exercises. They formed a circle and lay down like a clock. They were meditating and controlling the rain, tuning into the sun and the seasons and the Earth. They seemed to be drawing energy from the sun and the Earth and using it in specific ways. It was like there were caves or caverns under the Earth, under the trees and these were safe zones. These teenagers were mastering the skills of how to survive and how to utilise natural energies and they were protecting themselves with these energies and using them to direct the natural forces...

Brian visualised a rainbow bridge and tried to step onto it but found himself sitting underneath it by the river. The music playing reminded him of being by a river in Portugal and he saw the little fish swimming about in the water. Then when the music changed he was seeing the birds of prey, eagles and buzzards and when the music changed again he saw small birds and butterflies and bees...

I started off in a room following a mouse around the skirting board until we came to a mouse hole and the mouse disappeared through it. I followed it through and found myself in the dark, then saw the start of a sunrise as the scene lit up. I saw a tree and decided to sit against it as I watched the sun move across the sky. It wasn't too bright and I found I could look straight at it without hurting my eyes. Then I saw the mouse in the sun running round like it was in a wheel. When the sun went down I saw a full moon come up and watched that move across the sky. I sensed there was somebody sitting against the tree behind me and then heard this person ask me to stand up and turn round. I saw it was a dark skinned man in white robes and he asked me to follow him across some fields and down some steps towards an enormous sandy beach full of thousands of people as far as I could see. He told me that when we connect with spirit we can interact with all these entities who can speak as one mind or as individuals. Each one has a wealth of information but it was our responsibility to ask specific questions if we want to receive the information we want. If we just ask general questions we will only get general answers...

I put the music back on and we continued the session.

It started to look lighter in the room to me with a few bright blobs moving around.

Liz got the name Edith

Brian was seeing some white light followed by purple.
He briefly saw a lady sitting in a chair with her head down.

Liz got a surname Howell.

Brian started to be controlled and soon began to speak...

'Welcome friends...'

Me... 'Hello to you, good to hear you again'

'For those of you who find your spiritual pathway it can be a very rich experience'

Me... 'Yes that's true'

'But it takes commitment, continued commitment for sadly there are those who are one foot on and one foot off and they cannot hope to fulfil their potential, but the more you commit, the more you put in, the more you can receive. For it is about building up trust, it is a partnership between yourselves and your guides and the trust works both ways. For an ability may be developed, then the medium has to trust that they can use it but it can only go further when the guides can see you are trusting them for they would not wish to put you in situations where your trust could dissolve. It is important to keep your development simply because no medium can know how far the development will reach'

Me... 'No... I suppose you're never truly fully developed are you'

'That would be rare to be for it not to be. There have been a few who have reached shall we say all the objectives that were set but it is not very common and many is the medium who has returned to spirit and had pangs of regrets where they realise what they might have achieved but if you are regularly linking with your guides they will encourage you and of course the main motivation for development must be to benefit others'

Me... 'Yes it's all about others isn't it'

'Working for the higher good. Egos must be squashed for what is it that might make a medium good and have a certain ability? It is only their connection and the trust they have built...'

Brian came back.
He saw an image of a left ear.
I suggested it may be a message for him to listen to spirit.

Liz got the names Halliwell and Francis.

Liz got a picture of a face of someone she used to work with at university... Carol.

Liz got a sense of a ladder and then a blue sky with linnet birds in it.

Brian was getting very cold.
I felt warm but then suddenly felt very cold around the front of my legs.

Liz started to speak...

'I've got Rupert Bear again with his Chinese friend'

'Maylynn'

'Got a connection with ruins, ancient civilisations, steps, a discovery of porcelain, some sort of material'

Brian saw some white numbers... 1, 7, 227 and 511.

Liz continued...

'Got a Welsh word like clluid... sense of a buttercup field like Louise Malecot, pictures of children, children's books, Beatrix Potter type scenes. A natural life, a country life, a connection with the imagination, the children's reality of the world, the ideal world holding the vision of that pristine natural connection with nature, that innocence and our history, repeating civilisations that have been lost and buried, we've been there before, children in this paradise, I had Adam and Eve, paradise lost and gained, many developments and destruction can be the visionary children and the forces that out of the rape of the Earth the desire for dominance and riches it's twisted and the vision gets buried and the destruction on the brink again and there's a big consensus to not make the same mistakes, not to let the vision fade, the children holding onto that, the young people, paradise gained and lost. I get the feeling that there is a big consensus to help to avoid the same pattern repeating like a record that's got stuck. I want to ask how to avoid the pitfall... Something will come from China, a wakeup call, Francis, saying countdown, it's a clock and countdown, torn in the sense of time running out, there's infinite time, a sense of a river flowing past, rather turbulent waters flowing through roots of the trees, a very convoluted path but it's inevitable, it will get to the sea, it has to, only one way to flow. Focusing on the pools of hope, the sunny fields, fields of buttercups, the innocence, the child vision, to encourage, to foster, not to loose that. It's almost as if in this modern world that innocent childhood vision like Rupert Bear and his chums and Beatrix Potter and all of that is almost seen as outmoded, as if there's no place for it anymore and that's the real darkness of the age that's trying to block out the sunlight, to steal the vision from the children. They need to have that to remind them, not to have it blotted out'

'I sense there's many people about... Mary. There are many people inspired to protect and foster in the young generation, that's a pathway, the festivals, festival activities, communal celebration, they have an importance, the sacredness of gathering, holding the vision and sharing, music, drama, art, creativity, nature... holidays, they are holy days, days for reconnecting'

'The name Prudence, I sense Prudence approves, just wants to affirm that these are all efforts to hold onto the vision to reinstate the values, life affirming, a sense of lots of safety valves, ways of safely navigating the waves, support and protect'

'I'm almost seeing as if there's a resurgence of the 60s and 70s, that spiritual awakening, the hippy era, a slightly different form but there is a big push, big effort coming our way, going to take off big time soon, reinstate the vision. I guess this is all part of it too, people's renewed interest in things spiritual, not religion they are done for but just the spiritual pathway, the Shaman pathway. A realisation of the inner vision, individual for each one but shared community, the sun dance, it's the sun dance, yes the sun dance, it is, it is, it is the sun dance, that's what it is, it is, it is... it's reconnecting with the sun energy, the sun dance... Ah Felix... Thank you'

Liz felt she had her old friend the expressionist painter Feliks Topolski with her.

I saw a face that looked like the 70s DJ Tony Blackburn. Possibly a connection with what Liz had been saying.

Liz got some numbers... 4x4x4.
She got the name Iris.
She sensed herself by a slate quarry, a centre of alternative technology, a dry stone wall of slate.

Brian had been cold for some time but the cold was leaving him now.

Liz asked me to play some music to help her come back.
She got the name Teressa.


Once everyone was feeling back with it I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...
