We had the room setup as usual.
I did the opening prayer at 7.40pm, turned
out the light and put the music on.
We did the Rainbow Bridge visualisation
exercise...
Liz found herself with the moon in front of
a choppy sea. She was then swimming through the waves towards a boat feeling
excited. Liz pulled herself up onto the boat which had only one person on it.
She wasn't sure if it was male or female but probably female with a triangular
hairdo that reminded Liz of an Egyptian headdress. Then Liz was looking at this
person from above who was looking up at her and Liz realised it was a person
she knew, it was Sheila Routh who had done illustrations for one of Liz's books
called Giliatorsin in the 1960s. Liz then became aware of all these Egyptian
friezes, long horizontal bands of pictures but they were of childhood animals
like the Beatrix Potter animals. Liz reached down and pulled Sheila up with her
and they found themselves with patterns and mythological creatures. Then Liz
found herself by a cupboard that was tightly closed like two intertwining claws
but she managed to pull it open and out tumbled children's toys. It was like a
memory of childhood juxtaposed with how we have left it all behind. The adult
world is engaged in games but of a different nature, it was a sense of the
innocence of children looking up to the adults. Liz felt it was a locked away
part of ourselves but it needed opening up and readdressing. That time of play
was very important for children and they should have that for as long as
possible. Children that had been damaged or traumatised should have these toys
to play and act out their dramas and hurts which was very important...
I started off in a tower block looking out
of a window at the moon. It was bright and full and as I looked it seemed to be
starting to boil like looking into a boiling, bubbling pot of porridge. Then I
found myself moving towards it up into the sky and as I got closer I felt the
heat coming from it as it boiled away and bits were shooting off it as it
bubbled coating me it what appeared to be warm white blobs of porridge. As I
got closer I turned so that my back got coated as well and I saw a giant
gorilla looking at me. When it saw that I had seen it it turned and disappeared
in another direction. The next thing I knew I was landing on my back on the
moon and continuing through it. I was swimming through this hot thick porridge
which got cooler as I went through then I popped out the other side which was
dark and cold. It was the dark side of the moon but the white coating I had was
still shining and producing light and as I hovered over the surface I lit it up
and the baron surface started to become green with plants and trees. I was
aware of dark coloured birds flying around me looking like prehistoric birds
but they didn't like the light I was emitting and flew away to be replaced by
colourful tropical birds that flew around and landed in the green trees...
Liz found my visualisation very interesting
as it was very similar to one of the stories in her book Giliatorsin.
I put the music back on and we continued
our session...
I had an image of a coin with the head of
Silver Birch on it.
Liz had an image of a black swan.
Liz continued...
'I've got a strong image of Princess Diana.
I'm looking at a necklace around her neck with cut jewels, not sure if they're
diamonds... it's like I'm looking at a jig-saw puzzle'
Liz then fell asleep for about ten minutes.
Then she continued...
'I've still got this picture of Princess
Diana and this diamond necklace... very gentle... just got Rupert Bear... I
guess all those little children and toys would have been close to her heart...
I had a feeling she was saying something about Tiggy the nanny with the boys. I
just had a feeling of her, warm and encouraging, she played with the boys.
Tiggy Legge-Bourke, I think that's her name, yes I think she had a soft spot
for troubled kids. She recognised the value of toys and play... Almost like
jaconda or jacinth, orange blossom, lilac, lovely flowers... yes don't forget
Tiggy... I got the name Holly... terracotta...'
'Just looking at a children's dish with a
Beatrix Potter animal on it'
I asked if she knew which animal it was?
'I don't know if it's a fox or a dog...
looks like a collection... squirrel nutkin and the wise owl'
'Just got the name Alice Nuttley, I think
she did some books, little grey rabbit'
I played a tune to help Liz come back then
did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...
