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...

24th Sitting 19/02/2014


This week we swapped days from Thursday to Wednesday.

We had the room set up as usual and as always started the sitting with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz started off amongst plants and foliage at the edge of a lake covered with water lilies. The bridge was to her right. It was small, made of metal, convex shaped and painted white. It had a white mesh surface and the sides were like spokes of a wheel, all painted white. The bridge led to an island which had another bridge on the other side which was long straight and wooden. Liz felt this would lead her to where she needed to go. The island was full of water birds, flamingos, turkeys and lots of plants and bird boxes. Liz rushed across the island then across the second bridge where she saw lots of rainbow bubbles in the lake and in the air and found a beautiful place like a school building on the other side. She was greeted by children including a blonde curly haired girl who she recognised as a childhood friend called Jenifer Baker. She looked a little bit sad and was being looked after by a lady Liz had seen before, with her hair in a plat but it was now brown and she gave Liz her name, Freda. (This doesn’t tie up yet with what I got last Monday in the MLC) She told Liz she’d like her to work at the school where they were giving love to the children. Liz noticed the bubbles again and each one had a whole world inside. Then Liz got into one of the bubbles which brought her back to her side depositing her with a splash in a lush frilly leafed lettuce…

I also started off amongst plants. Mine were yellow like rapeseed and as I walked towards the bridge they got taller, or maybe I was getting shorter!!! They were soon taller than me as I walked along a narrow path through them. There were other pathways leading off the path but I chose to stay on it as I knew it led to the bridge. I came out onto a beach and the bridge which was wooden, short and painted white was to my left. I could just about see the other side before I started to cross. The sky above it was lit up by a beautiful sunset. I felt like I was a child and wanted to run across the bridge. As I crossed I saw a group of Chinese ladies with parasols. They were doing a kind of dance as they walked swaying from side to side. One lady was being carried in a chair and she lent down and handed me a book saying this was the first of many books that I would receive. I got the feeling the book contained much knowledge and after bidding the ladies good bye I took a peek into the book as I walked back to my side but found it hard to focus and read the words. I got the impression this book wasn’t going to give me any easy answers and I still had to work at getting knowledge from it…

I did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

My legs were getting very cold.
I saw a few pin-pricks above the table.
Liz saw a green light to her right.
I had the impression of a dim beam of light coming down from the ceiling onto the table, like a spot light on a stage.

I saw wispy bits in front of me and blue mist each side.
I got an image of an elephant in front of me waving it’s trunk from side to side.
Then Liz also got the sense of an elephant in the room.
I got the tune in my head ‘Nellie the Elephant’

I felt a tingly feeling on my eye brows and eye lids.

Liz got the sense of a character Dido from a book her uncle wrote called Under Plum Lake.
Then she got the word Violet and the sense of a deep crack between tall grey rocks going down a canyon, like a crack between worlds going into another reality. Liz wasn’t sure if Violet was a person’s name or possibly ultra-violet, beyond physical.

I had a fuzzy feeling on the right side of my head.
I saw a big blob in front of me with shooting stars within it.
I felt a light touch on the back of my right hand and something brush against my eye lashes.
Then I saw blue/green wavy streaks of light.

I felt touches in my hair and a fuzzy feeling on my right foot.
Then I got a fuzzy feeling on my left shin which seemed to wrap around my leg.

Liz got an image of a Moses basket.

I felt something brush against my nose.
I saw a few flashes above me and the room started to look light and misty.

Liz felt she had lots of people with her. They were people she had known when on this side and they were giving her personal messages. She got the feeling they were working with us, they were pleased we were doing it and told her we have wonderful opportunities to learn.

I felt a light touch on my right hand finger and a cool breeze on my face.

I got a vision of a large metal tea pot.
It reminded me of one used at a garage I worked at about 30 years ago. I couldn’t get it out my mind and kept thinking about some of the characters there, particularly a big guy known as Jumbo. (Another elephant connection)

Liz was feeling very hot.
She got the impression she was becoming a bird, a peregrine falcon, soring into the sky.

I got another touch on the back of my right hand fingers and a cold fuzzy feeling on my right hip.

The American/Indian tune came on and we resumed our Cross Experiment again.

Like previous weeks I got brief glimpses of a small black cross but my vision was soon filled with bright flame like blobs. I did see a dark hill build up and thought I might see a cross on that but didn’t.

Liz got the feeling the upright was becoming clearer but the horizontal was just like nodules, looking more like an icon, a cross with a circle on it. The horizontal branches were not yet formed, like buds. Then it turned into the many armed Avalokitesvara. Liz then thought of a Ganesha statue she used to have which was an elephant god and looked like a cross.

My feet went very cold and felt heavy.
It felt like someone was standing on them and it got very cold in front of me.
I got a name, Simon.
I now felt freezing cold all over, like I was in a swirling cold mist and I felt a few cool breezes.

Liz felt she was in a dense fog but her temperature was ambient.
She felt prickles on her head.

I got the phrase Brass Monkey.
Then I got an image of the three wise monkeys making me think of an ornament my Gran used to have.

I saw a salmon colour mist to my right.
Liz thought she could see it as well.

During the last two tunes I drifted off a bit and kept getting the number seven. It was something to do with seven states of awareness and I was hearing that we are in them all at the same time but only aware of one at a time but with practice we can become aware of being in more than one at the same time. I heard each one separates its self from the other by its own shadow.

When I told Liz she said it very much tied up with a dream she had had about colours, the difficulty that there are colours behind colours and we need to hold onto the white light and keep the earth connection.

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

23rd Sitting 13/02/2014


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

Liz began with a small brown river. She had lots of children with her and got the feeling she was a child as well. They were all dipping their bare feet in the water. The bridge was small and made of concrete, convex curved with a soft asphalt covering. Liz took the children over the bridge. The other side wasn’t like an earthly landscape it was rainbow like with purples and strange colours. It looked like a beautiful fairy tale with fairies and other children there. Liz met a tall lady with blonde hair in a plat wrapped in a coil round her head. She was like a nurse maid and took the children off Liz. Behind her was the person Liz felt she had come to see dressed in a wizard’s hat and cloak. When Liz saw his face she realized it was her dad making her feel warm with emotion. He took her to a wooden cabin where he removed his hat and cloak saying he didn’t need them, they were just for the children. He said he was there with the rest of Liz’s family. He gave her permission to do this work for spirit he knew it was good and was all in favour of it now; he wanted Liz to carry on. When on this side he would never have considered the subject, it was very taboo then. He said that all the children in Liz’s family come to visit him there and he pretends to be a wizard.
Liz could hear the music coming to an end and had to run back…

I started off on a bank with no grass, just smooth brown mud with cracks in it like it had been sun-baked. I had bare feet and could feel the heat in it. I climbed up rough wooden steps to get onto the bridge and I was worried about getting slinters in my feet. The bridge was made of concrete and was very long with lots of arches supporting it like a viaduct. As I walked across, the surface beneath my feet became smoother and slowly changed into smooth marble. It looked grey and mottled but as I went further it changed to pure white. I then saw the other side was all white including the people who had white robes on. Then they removed their robes to reveal rainbow coloured clothes and the whole scene changed to a kind of rainbow land, full of colour. There was what looked like kites trailing rainbow coloured strands of ribbon darting around in the sky and lots of twinkling things like fairies were floating down.   
I realized the music was about to end so ran back to my side…

We noticed quite a few similarities between our two visualisations when we talked about them afterwards.

I did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

I had a pressure on my forehead and tightness around my chest.
Liz could feel entities crowding into the room.
The energy of the room felt strong to both of us.

Liz was aware of shimmering forms in the dark over and in front of the table.
I saw them as well but mainly to each side of me. Some were darting across my vision from side to side.
Liz described them as like silk and I concurred.
To me they looked like strands of silk hanging down and dancing around like flames. Then the atmosphere changed to misty vertical waves.

Liz got the impression of a horizontal rainbow stretching across the room.
She saw fleeting dim torch lights.
I was now seeing horizontal waves.

I saw a yellowish mist close to my eyes.
Liz felt a pricking sensation on her left eye.
I felt touches on my right foot and the right side of my head.
I was very cold down my right side.
Then I got a pricking sensation on my left eye.

Liz saw a mist building up in the room.
Then she saw what she described as a round wheel with a very crenulated edge, like a flower design. She could only see the left half of it. It was a bit like a doily but she felt it was made of stone.
She then perceived arches in the room, like cloisters.

I was seeing steaks of light coming and going like shooting stars.
I felt a vibration under my right foot.
The room was looking very misty to me.
I was seeing a few flashes in front of my eyes.

I felt something in my ear.
My legs and the top of my head were cold.
Liz felt very cold all over.
She got the name ‘Carol’

I felt two thuds on the floor with my right foot but didn’t hear anything.
I saw dim torch lights to my right.
I felt a fuzzy feeling on my cheek bones and the backs of my hands. Also a fuzzy feeling pressing down on the top of my head which felt like it was going into my scull.
There was a tickle on my left arm which felt like something under my sleeve.

We started our Cross Experiment as the American Indian tune came on.
We both decided to relax, do nothing and let the cross come to us.

Liz didn’t get anything except right at the end an upright, solid 4x4 stake going right through the middle of the room.

I saw a small golden cross at the beginning leaning to one side. It was pulsating with light coming out of it and the light eventually filled my vision, obscuring the cross. It was dazzling making me close my eyes then I briefly saw a black cross silhouetted against the light.

The room soon returned to darkness after our experiment.
I felt something in my hair.
I heard a slurp type noise to my right but Liz didn’t hear it.

During the last two tunes I drifted off and saw a row of black and white photos and drawings of people in a semi-circle around me. One stood out and the face looked animated. I saw it was my granddad smiling at me.

We were both feeling very cold at the end when the tunes ended.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise. 

22nd Sitting 06/02/2014


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

Liz began in a large wide valley. The river seemed distant and meandering. The rainbow stretched from one side of the valley to the other. The bridge was bamboo and Liz saw many Chinese people wearing triangular conical hats. A little Chinese girl with short black hair came running towards her, took her hand and wanted to lead her over the bridge to meet her mummy and family. They met a tall lady on the other side. She was very friendly and introduced Liz to the family. They were sitting round a table having tea. The table was covered in lotus flowers and water lilies, pink, white, gold and yellow. Coming out of them were what looked like needles or aerials? They told Liz they were like stamens with pollen and the pollen would spread, this was the seeds we were spreading. Liz associated them with pure thoughts, purity. These flowers were very important and Liz was given one to bring back. She felt they were our connection, our transmission with spirit. It was like the stamens were full of seed to be disseminated…  

I started off sitting on a bench looking down at the river. Then I got up and walked down a stony, shingle path to the bridge. At this point I realised I was wearing long white robes and I used a long stick to help me walk. I remember feeling unstable as the robes got tangled around my feet. The bridge was made of wood, roughly built and didn’t look particularly solid but I decided to walk over it. Half way across I saw knights on horseback coming towards me and on the other side I could see a castle on a hill. My attention was drawn to the flags flying on it, white with red crosses like English St George flags. There was no communication between me and the knights and after a while they turned to return to their side and as they did this their horses sprouted wings, taking off and flying them to the castle…

I felt a lot of pressure on my forehead during the Rainbow Bridge Exercise and it was making me feel light headed. I had trouble speaking as Liz and I described our experiences.

I then did the opening prayer and put the music on still feeling very light headed.

The feeling I get is always different to what I experience when sitting in the cabinet on Mondays. It’s more like I’m being affected by the atmosphere and energy in the room whereas in the cabinet I feel more controlled by entities. I’ve so far never felt controlled or feel I want to give communications in our Thursday sitting.

Liz reported something crawling over her head.
She felt strong presences in the room.
She saw small lights close to her flashing on and off, looking like the luminous tabs on the table.
She had a tight feeling around her solar plexus.

The room started to look light and pinkish each side of me.
I saw wispy bits and flashes in front of me.

Liz thought it looked misty blue in the middle of the room.
She saw a light falling down in front of her.
She got the name Brenda. She’s had this name before and feels she wants to communicate.

I was getting the impression the room was filled with twirling silk ribbons.
It was looking darker everywhere to me.

Liz was aware of a lot of light to her right. Like a strong light shining down on her.
She then saw the room fill up with blobby shapes, some moving slowly, others darting around.

I picked up a smell that came and went, a bit like a fish and chip shop smell.
I had a fuzzy feeling on the back of my right hand and finger.
My legs were very cold.
I was seeing lots of blobs floating about, and then it went light and misty.

Liz got the impression of lots of tall houses, a French village, they all had shutters.

Liz sensed a feeling around her throat like a choker necklace. She saw it as a contraption with needles going into her throat. She said it didn’t feel uncomfortable but felt her throat was being opened up. She felt someone wanted to talk through her. They wanted to say something but didn’t have any words.

I suggested that if any words came into her mind she should try and verbalise them.

I felt another fuzzy feeling on the back of my finger and felt something in my right ear.
It looked light to my right, a primrose yellow colour.

Liz got an impression and verbalised what she saw…

‘Billy is holding this golden ball. He came through as William but then said Billy, Billy, he’s got a golden ball and he just wanted to let you know. He says he’s not the fellow in the bowler hat but I actually think he is… He’s just playing. Now he’s transmogrified into Joseph and his multi-coloured dream coat, he’s just playing, a bit of an actor. But the golden ball is real, not an ordinary ball like an orb. More like real gold, its real gold’

I got a touch on my left foot.
Then I got the Fish and Chip shop smell again.
Liz had a strong ectoplasm smell and said the room was kaleidoscoping, changing shape and size.
She felt a tickle under her foot.
She saw a few moving lights and felt pressure on her head.

The American Indian tune came on which meant it was time for us to resume our ‘Cross Experiment’

As we started I briefly saw a thin black cross come and go but soon my vision was filled with bright blobs of light looking like flames in front of me. I had trouble keeping my eyes open, they wanted to close. As the tune ended the room returned to darkness.

Liz was trying to create cross threads as if weaving and she could almost see at one point the upright part of the cross. She tried to hold onto the image of the upright stamen she saw earlier. She got a thin line but it felt very dynamic moving right across the room horizontally and then vertical from top to bottom. Then she saw a shadowy three dimensional cross but not clearly. She didn’t get hot this week.

I was now cold all over.
Liz thought the room looked bright.
I thought it was dark.
I got the Fish and Chip shop smell again briefly and a tickle on my right foot.

We both drifted off during the last two tunes.

Liz found herself in an anteroom of a large house. It was like a long corridor. She seemed to be working on her memoirs making her think of Winston Churchill.

I saw a photo album opened up with a photo of a white horse. I was shown a distinguishing mark on the horse but couldn’t remember what it was afterwards. I turned the page of the album and there was a page filled with signatures and messages but again I couldn’t remember what they were afterwards.

The music ended and Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise by which time we were both feeling totally back with it.

Liz had felt at times during the sitting the team wanted to speak through her but felt her own mind and thoughts getting in the way and blocking it.
This is something I’ve experienced and I’m sure other developing trance mediums feel the same when starting out. I told her to think of it more as a joint communication, her and spirit, at this stage and not to worry about what is said…

update 01/02/2014

We didn't sit on 30/01/2014 as we had a sitting with Liz in the cabinet instead but will be back on Thursday 06/02/2014...

21st Sitting 23/01/2014


After the encouragement we received during last Monday’s Mercury Light sitting we decided to repeat our ‘cross experiment’ doing it in exactly the same way as last week.

The room was set up as usual and as always we kicked off with our ‘Rainbow Bridge Exercise’ at 8.30pm…

Liz started off feeling her feet on hard baked ground at the edge of an enormous lake. To her left was a huge bridge, like a suspension bridge, going up into the clouds. It seemed to be very industrial and busy with lots of traffic going over it. She didn’t really want to walk over the bridge as it was so busy and when she looked up she saw Chinese hot air balloons like paper lanterns coming down offering to carry her over the bridge and they did. There were Chinese ladies in wonderful silk kimonos with beautiful embroidery of trees, flowers and animals. Liz was told she didn’t have to traverse the busy bridge, which represented the world; she could circumvent it by imagination and over on the other side was a place of imagination. Exotic ferns, lush trees and most wonderful animals, which she recalled seeing before in a dream, like yellow tigers with green eyes and other unusual tame wild animals. One of the Chinese ladies became real and Liz sensed she was a friend. She told Liz there was a lot to study and learn there, lots of information available and encouraged her to feel she could join them at any time. She then gave Liz a lift back to her side.

I started off on a grass bank and before I got to the bridge I had to go through a swing gate and down a path lined with bushes. The bridge was big and seemed to get bigger the more I looked at it. It was particularly high in the middle. Then I found myself getting bigger and feeling disorientated before I shrunk back to my normal size. I was aware of a man in a grey bowler hat and suit who seemed to be trying to stop himself laughing. I didn’t see him as part of the scene but was just aware of him with me.  I made my way up the steep slope to the middle of the bridge and noticed a procession of tall giraffes going under it and it occurred to me this was why the bridge was so tall as their heads only just cleared the bridge. They all seemed to have several smoke rings around their long necks. I didn’t meet anybody on the bridge but still had the sense of the man in the bowler hat with me. Over the other side I saw a busy wide road with lots of traffic speeding up and down. Just before returning to my side I saw the man in the bowler hat on the bridge but he’d changed into what looked like a wizard with long white hair, beard and white robes…

I did the opening prayer and reminded the team we were going to do our cross experiment during the American Indian tune.

Liz was seeing a few light shapes in the room and described the atmosphere as marbling.
It looked speckly everywhere to me.

I felt a light touch under my right foot and around my right ear.
Then I got an itchy feeling in my left ear.

Liz felt a pressure on her face like she had it pressed against a window.
She felt someone was with her and she was looking at them through this window but not quite able to make them out.
She got the name Mary.

Liz felt a tickle on the left side of her neck.

It now looked black in the centre of the room to me but light and misty to my sides.
My feet were getting very cold spreading up to my knees.
I felt a tug on my right trouser leg then a touch on the back of my right hand.
I could sense someone to my right.
It was very light to my right and I felt a lot of touches around my right ear.

Liz said she could see a pink/gold light above me, a bit like apricot and she could see moving lights going up within it.
My right side was very cold and fuzzy.
I felt touches in my hair.
Liz saw a blue/green light near the ceiling. The colours made her think of a kingfisher.

I hadn’t noticed any of these colours but I was now aware of a salmon colour to my right.
Liz confirmed this described what she saw also.

Liz was aware of light and Gothic arch patterns to her right, a bit like an ‘N’ shape.

I heard a noise like a stomach rumble, it didn’t come from my stomach but appeared to be somewhere to my right. There is nothing in that area that could have made the noise. We do hear the adjoining neighbours sometimes but they are to the left of me. It was very quiet and Liz didn’t hear it but I was surprised to find it was picked up on the voice recorder which sits to my right, quite a distance from the noise.

It’s four seconds into this clip…


Liz was seeing black and beige speckled patterns.
I saw a bluish speckled pattern with a few vertical lines coming down and moving across like waves. It looked a bit like folds in curtains.
I saw a few white wispy bits looking like smoke spiralling.
Liz saw what she described as threads of light coming down from the ceiling which sounded very much like what I was seeing.

Then I saw a bright pin prick light flash on and off just above the table. It was as bright as the luminous tabs on the table.
Liz also reported a few pin prick lights.
It now looked darker to my right and the middle of the room looked light.
I saw another bright pin prick to my left then another above the table.

I felt a light touch on the back of my neck and something like a finger pushing down on the top of my head.
Both my legs felt fuzzy and I had a pressure on the back of my left foot.
I saw another pin prick near the ceiling.

Liz was very cold.
I heard the stomach rumble sound again to my right but it didn’t pick up on the recorder this time.
I felt a touch on my left knee, a tickle on my nose and a cold fuzzy feeling on my right hip.

The American Indian tune came on so we tried once again to see the cross.

Liz got very warm, the same as she had at this point last week.
I saw a very bright ball shaped yellow blob that was moving in a circular motion.
Then it seemed to come close to me filling my vision.
I saw pin prick lights within it then it changed to a blue/purple colour.
It seemed to be forming into a vertical line getting darker each side of it.

Liz saw a purple horizontal line going right across the room.
Then she saw a shining white vertical line but didn’t see both at once.

As soon as the next tune started the things we were seeing faded away.
We both noticed we had sticky eyes.

Liz felt a burning cold feeling around her head and shoulders.
I felt a cool breeze over my forehead.
Both Liz and I felt cold all over.

The tunes ended.

Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

Another good evening, we seem to be getting somewhere with our cross experiment and will continue next time…

20th Sitting 16/01/2014


This week we decided to try an extra experiment during our sitting…

Anyone who has studied etheric matter or ectoplasm will know that it is extremely susceptible to the impact of thought both from the spirit operators and circle sitters. Many times in the past ectoplasm has been built into the shape of any thought-form that dominates the minds of the sitters during a séance. This usually happens without them realising they are doing it and they assume it to be the work of the spirit team. With this in mind we decided for the duration of one tune only to try and manipulate the ectoplasm ourselves. We chose the American Indian tune which is quite long and comes on about half-way through the sitting and decided to try and form a cross above the table.

Also the day after last week’s sit Liz found one of the pin-pong balls was missing off the table and found it under a chair. This was probably caused by wind as Liz opened the door as I’m sure we would have heard it bounce or seen it move by the luminous tab had it happened during last week’s sit.
Just to be sure this week we made a note of exactly where each ball was placed on the table and checked they were all still in their places when we put the lights back on after our sit.

As always we started with our Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz found herself walking barefoot through squelchy grass to the bridge which was shrouded in a dazzling mist and rainbow. As she walked onto the bridge she felt warm rough asphalt under her feet. A woman with wings, like a fairy, flew towards her then became just a woman in a simple duck blue dress with blonde hair coiled in a plat. She was very friendly and allowed Liz to touch her to show she was real. Liz felt like she was reaching out as the woman led her across the bridge. Lots of hands were reaching out to her drawing her on. The other side was just grass and meadow but full of lovely people. It felt like a nursery rhyme scene and the grass now felt dry beneath her feet...

I started on a grassy bank then walked down to the bridge. At first it felt I was still on the bank watching myself walk down to the bridge but I finally found myself there. I had to climb a lot of steps to get on the bridge then saw a slide in front of me which I slid down reaching the middle of the bridge which opened out into a stage. A group of female ballet dancers were spinning round on the stage while swans swam past on the lake below. Then the ballet dancers took off flying around above me. All I could see on the other side were trees with flashing pin prick lights between them. One of the ballet dancers came down reaching out her hand to pull me back up the slide so I could return to my side…

I did the opening prayer including a reminder to the spirit team that we would be doing our experiment during the American Indian tune.

I put the music back on.

I was feeling light headed and I kept seeing dim flashes in the room.
Liz saw wispy bits moving around over the table.
She saw blobs in the room and felt a cool breeze from her right.
I felt a fuzzy feeling on my right arm.

Liz felt a gentle tugging on her hair from the right.
I was warm but it was getting cold round my legs.
I could see a kind of moving fog to my sides and it was dark but blobby in front of me.
Liz had a drawing/tingling feeling on the front of her scalp as if her hair was being gently pulled again.

I felt a tingle on the back of my left leg then I felt three feathery touches across the back of the forefinger on my right hand.
The room looked light to me.

Liz saw lights in the middle of the room which changed into a misty form.
I could see a few wispy bits in the middle of the room as well as a line coming down from the ceiling.
Then it looked like smoke coming up from the table in waves which we both saw.

I had some tickles in my hair behind my right ear.
The room looked light and misty to me.

Liz was now seeing what she described as a geometric structure in the middle of the room which had a bluish light under it.
I couldn’t see this but I did see lots of white wispy bits swirling around in the middle of the room.

The room now looked darker to me.

Liz was getting lots of cool breezes and felt like a stream of energy was coming towards her.
She saw a flash near the ceiling.

I now felt very cold especially down my right side.
I also was aware of a glow to my right and felt a friend was standing there.

We both picked up a strong smell. Liz likened it to matches. I thought it was more like the ozone smell you get after a rain shower. Liz agreed.
We both couldn’t stop yawning.
The room was looking sparkly to me.
Liz saw bluish misty forms moving near the table.

I felt a pressure around my right ear and heard a faint crackling sound near it.
Liz felt cobwebs over her head.

It was time for our experiment as the American Indian tune came on.
We both fixed our gaze just above the table and tried to manipulate the ectoplasm into the shape of a cross.

After a few seconds I began seeing a few wispy bits.
Then I saw diagonal lines and pin-prick lights.
Next I saw a big yellow blob build up which looked like it was made up of fibres, a bit like fibre-glass matting.
Liz hadn’t seen anything up to this point but now saw what she described as yellowy cotton wool.
She was very hot and felt a strong drawing from her solar plexus.
The tune ended before either of us saw anything like a cross.

Despite this it had been an interesting experiment and obviously something was happening.
Liz summed up the experiment…

‘At least we’ve discovered that we’re not very good at making a cross… So if one suddenly appears it may very well not be us!!!’

I was now seeing diagonal lines from my top left to bottom right field of vision.
Liz saw them as well.

I got the feeling the table was going down as if I was levitating but my feet were still firmly on the floor.
I felt tickles on the back of my head and on my nose.

We both reported the ozone smell again.

Liz then described a blue plume going from bottom right to top left of her field of vision, like a bushy tail.
She felt something in her hair.
I was very cold.

I drifted off a bit during the penultimate tune.
I thought I heard somebody say that they had seen the cross. Then I had a vision of a beautifully crafted shiny black marble cross. It then faded to be replaced by two branches held together with string making another somewhat basic cross.

We both thought the room had gone uniformly black apart from the luminous tabs on the table that shone out like stars as the last tune played.
Then Liz saw some red blotches above the table.
I felt something in my hair.

The last tune came to an end.

Liz did the healing exercise followed by the closing prayer then the closing exercise for us both.

I put the red light on and checked the position of the balls and everything on the table which was how we had left it.

A good evening with plenty of phenomena reported from start to finish…

19th Sitting 09/01/2014

We were back in the garage after the Christmas/New Year break.

As always we kicked off with the rainbow bridge exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz found herself going down a forest path with ferns each side to a rocky beach where a stream ran into an enormous lake. The bridge was pearl white and a fine rain was creating rainbows. There were fish and dolphins jumping out of the water and Liz could see fountains, rocks and castles over the other side like a fairy tale scene.
As Liz walked over the bridge she saw Chinese ladies with fans floating towards her becoming more like cardboard cut-outs as they got close. Also a blond haired peasant type farmer with a horse and cart and a pig walked towards her. She felt she knew him. Liz decided to ride the pig which began to fly taking her to the other side. The farmer told her she could do whatever she wanted on that side. As the tune ended Liz got the pig to fly her back to her own side.

My visualization began at the bridge where I found a bicycle. I decided to ride it over the bridge; I was wobbling from side to side and stopped half way across. I saw a crowd of people walking towards me in dark robes and hoods. It looked like much of their faces were covered too. One was swinging a smoking thurible, something I’ve noticed before. Coming along behind them was what looked like the Mad Hatter riding a very tall penny farthing.
The smoke from the thurible was going into my mouth filling me with an energy. The scene before me became much brighter and clearer and the  people’s robes were now white.
They all then returned to their side and me to mine.

I did the opening prayer then put the music back on.

I felt pressure on my forehead and an irritation in my throat and I had an echoy sensation in my ears.
I saw a few flashes near the ceiling.

Liz was seeing moving shapes like cotton wool.
She had a sense of a network of fibres in the room.
She saw a fleeting light go from right to left.
She could see something like water, curling and coiling. A bit like clouds changing shape, reddish and misty.

I could see light coloured mist each side of me and a few wispy bits moving around in the dark in front of me.
Liz saw moving patterns like lines of iron filings or the patterns in wood.

It looked to me like it was getting darker and a bit bluish in the centre of the room.
Liz also saw blue in the room.
She could make out an archway going across the room.

My legs were now cold.
We’d both been warm up to now.
I had a fuzzy sensation on the back of my head.

My eyes closed for a few seconds then I noticed a flash which got my attention and I opened them again.
Liz didn’t see any flashes at that point but she had a sense of a shape in the middle of the room.
We then both had the sensation of misty light around the outside of the room but dark in the centre.
It was like looking down a cone or through a tunnel.

Liz saw a flash to her right.
I was seeing horizontal waves moving downwards.

My left ear was clicking and popping.
It felt like something came out of it and remained at the opening.
Liz felt a cool breeze over her left ankle.
Then she felt something stroke her left hand.

I was seeing bright white/yellow blobs coming and going in front of me.
It looked foggy to both of us.

I felt a pressure on the side of my right leg.
We now both thought the room was very dark.

Liz noticed a moving light on the table. It came and went suddenly making her jump.
I didn’t see it.

My nose was getting blocked and I was now cold all over.
Liz also had a blocked nose.

I drifted off for a bit at about the half-way point and came back remembering a dream…

I had seen a wall in front of me. It was bright and glowing and I noticed part of it had collapsed allowing me to get over it. I was then faced with a similar partially collapsed wall which I again went over. This continued until I reached a seventh wall but this time I couldn’t get over it. There was some sort of combination lock stopping me. I had the feeling I’d be able to get over the seventh wall when I’ve found the combination.

Things were quiet for a while with neither of us reporting anything.

Liz felt she was being overshadowed by another entity that was merging into her to experience what she was experiencing. It was a friendly insect-like entity.

I drifted off again towards the end and had another dream…

I saw the earth with a bright white foamy substance surrounding it. A bit like the frothy head on a beer. I got the impression this was the healing energy created and sent out by all the circles throughout the world. There was a giant man who was scooping up segments of the foam and directing it to specific places around the earth.

The music ended and Liz did the healing exercise, then the closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

We both felt this week’s sitting had gone really fast.
To help stay focused Liz had several times come back to the bridge in her thoughts to get the feeling of reaching out and wanting to make the contact.
