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...

17th Sitting 05/12/2013


We set up the room as usual and started with the Rainbow Bridge visualization at 8.30pm.

This week Liz was more aware that she was letting her visualization develop but at the same time she was developing the experience.
She started with a lake and water lilies which she felt needed to be bigger so she expanded it. The bridge was a low slung bamboo swinging bridge. On the other side Liz saw woodland with deer. She felt there should be buildings and they then appeared like monastic or community buildings. There was a church that changed into a cathedral.  Liz felt the landscape should be bigger then saw a hill beyond the community leading up to a monastery. She felt she was manufacturing what she saw. She felt there should be people there then saw fairies or spirit children like water babies that came onto the bridge and wanted to clean the water. Liz also saw a familiar figure she felt was Joan with short blond hair, smiling and warm. She had a black and white dog with her like a Dalmatian. She told Liz that this was a community where people were brought just after they passed to acclimatize. Joan reaffirmed she was working with us and very interested in our work.

I started off on the grass bank and noticed lots of rabbits. The bridge was strong and made of metal like aluminium. As I walked across I noticed an old 1890s car coming towards me driven by a man with a deerstalker hat and long cloak. A bit like Sherlock Holmes. He asked me to get into the car which then reversed back towards the other side stopping just before getting there. I could see the other side which looked like a Victorian city, maybe London. I was very interested in what lie beyond that and saw it was a futuristic town, alien looking. I got the impression it could be whatever you wanted it to be. I found it all fascinating and could have stayed there longer but the music was ending so I had to bring myself back to pause the CD. This had felt like the strongest visualization for me since we started doing the Rainbow Bridge exercise.

I’d felt a lot of pressure on my forehead and now felt light headed.

I did the opening prayer and felt overshadowed while I did it, saying more than I normally do.
Then after putting the music back on I felt a strange sensation in my chest. It felt like something was opening up creating a space where my heart would be. Something I’ve not experienced before.

Liz saw a few pin-pricks around the room.
I could see a lot of white mist in my peripheral vision but very dark ahead.
Then it seemed to be getting lighter above me.
My legs went very cold.

Liz saw rotating round shapes in the room, mainly to her right.
Then she felt she had someone overshadowing her, she sensed she had a grey beard.

I felt a light touch on my left foot and my left leg went fuzzy.
Then I had a fuzzy feeling on my right hand and felt something on my right ear.
I went cold down my right side and felt my friend was to my right.
I saw a flash near Liz.

Both my legs went fuzzy.
I couldn’t stop yawning.
I had a big pulsating bright blob in front of me.

Liz could see green light.
I drifted off a little and got some words in my head…

‘Piece by piece the puzzle falls into place connecting the four corners of the room’

I saw a bluish blobby light in front of me which turned more purple then looked like licking purple flames.
I felt a pulsating feeling in the palm of my left hand which lasted about a minute.
I noticed a few flickering lights to my right by the floor.
Then I saw a few dim lights moving around above the table.
The front of my left leg felt fuzzy.

Liz heard a crackly noise like paper being screwed up to her right but I didn’t hear it.
Liz got a picture of a grinning horse.

We both drifted off for a while.

I saw a bright pin-prick flash on and off between me and the table.
Liz started to get very hot, she had been cold up to then.
I was still cold and had been all evening.
The room was now looking lighter to me.
My nose felt blocked and I was still yawning.

We both drifted off again during the last two tunes.
Liz had a strong feeling of a giraffe stretching its neck.
She then felt Joan close again giving encouragement…

‘There’s a lot of preparation to do and we must have patience before we take the fruits. Our intention to bring forward evidence and the wonderful opportunity that presents is important work. We need to hold that focus as it gives a connection and they can get through’

I was seeing rabbits again and then got…

‘Seven walls to cross’

And then…

‘Have to travel down many corridors of perception before you can perceive us as we truly are’

When I repeated this back to Liz it reminded her of a quote from William Blake which is…

(If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern)

Then I remembered seeing something earlier which looked to me like a cloud with narrow horizontal slit openings and there were eyes peering through them which kind of ties up with the above as well.

The CD had ended and Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

It had been another good experiment.

There seemed to have been a lot of phenomena for the first half followed by us both drifting in and out of it and getting a few messages…
