We had the room set up as normal.
I did the opening prayer at 8.40pm.
Then we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.
Liz started off going through a field of golden flowers to
the edge of the sea as she had the feeling she wanted to go on a boat. Reaching
the sea she found a ramshackle old wooden pier and saw the boat at the end of
the pier by a jetty. The boat was called the Rainbow Bridge and looked like a
Spanish galleon. A 15th century Spanish gentleman that Liz recognised
greeted her onto the boat and when Liz asked where they were going he said to
the Islands of Western Scotland, to Iona. When they were there Liz knew exactly
where she was heading towards her monk friend who would be in a prayer cell.
There were lots of people and goats there and they said this island was a
powerhouse. Liz made a prayer in the prayer cell, a prayer of gratitude that
someone had been allowed to die on the island, it was their wish. Then all
these spirit people that inhabited it said this has always been a powerhouse
for prayer, all the islands are. Liz then wanted to go to the holy Island Arran
so they all got in the boat and went there to meet more people and goats. They
said you know you don’t really have to come here, these islands are in your
heart and these are your powerhouses, they are like hubs, spiritual hubs. The
music was ending and Liz then took the boat back to the pier…
I started off on a white sandy beach. It was a large expanse
of white sand dotted with large round and flat coloured glass or crystals about
a foot in diameter, spaced out every ten feet or so. I walked towards some
clear water and was aware of a bridge to my left but I didn’t want to go there
so went right instead where I found a bridge that looked like it was made from
spider’s web or thin strands of glass glistening in the sun. I started to walk
over it and as I walked found myself being thrust up into the sky with each
step, higher and higher until the atmosphere was black and I found myself
floating in space surrounded by stars and planets. I was also aware of things
flying around like space craft or large birds then realised they were dragons.
I was feeling a bit helpless now so motioned one of the dragons to me, hopped
on its back and asked if it would take me somewhere interesting. We flew off
and the dragon started doing somersaults, loop the loops and flying upside down
as if to impress on me that there was no up or down in space. Then we headed
towards a blue planet which I recognised as one I’ve seen in meditations. When
we landed it was all rocks and mountains but there was also an Indian feel as I
saw Indian type buildings and palaces also men with turbans and long white
robes. I walked up some marble steps into one of the palaces and entered a
large empty room that had pictures on all the walls. I tried to see what the
pictures were but couldn’t see them clearly and the music was now ending so I
finished the exercise still in the palace…
We then continued the session…
I had pressure on my forehead.
I could sense light behind me slowly coming round each side.
My forehead was now cold; the rest of me was warm.
My right leg and right arm then went cold.
I saw blobs in front of me.
Liz was aware of an intense black spot, like a button, with
a light background in front of her.
Then it disappeared.
She saw flickering cotton wool type shapes.
Then it looked like cirrus clouds or platted rope.
My right leg went very fuzzy and I felt some light touches
on it.
Liz now saw what looked like a hammock going across the room
side to side.
She said the room looked light at the top and dark at the
bottom.
Both my legs now felt fuzzy.
Liz had the impression of vertical string.
We both started drifting in and out of it.
My left arm was cold and fuzzy and it felt like my chair was
shaking slightly.
I felt a cool breeze on my face.
Liz began inspired speaking and at first it sounded like
some of the words came from her left which is close to the recorder but
listening to the recording afterwards didn’t confirm this.
I also thought I heard a noise like wind chimes to my right
but again nothing came out on the recording. We do have wind chimes in the room
but they are above us.
Liz continued…
‘Cold, cold…’
Afterwards Liz said that she had noticed a sudden temperature
drop just before she started speaking.
‘I have the impression
of the name Fred…’
‘Scarab… I have an
image of a large glass water jug… Pharaoh… I seem to have a large man with
headdress… something black and white, don’t know if it’s a snake… hass… just
got this shining membrane like your bridge made of spider’s web, spider web
membrane, it’s like silk, it’s used for healing… Large stone slabs, I keep
getting the Temple of Asclepius, Asclepius it’s the healing… the jug of water…
herd of horses…’
‘Patrice…’
‘Tinder box…’
‘Mary Ann wanted to
say something about putting the washing out…’
The music ended.
Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our
closing down exercise…
