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...

18th Sitting 19/12/2013

We were back in the garage for our last Mercury Experiment of 2013.

The room was set up as usual and as always we started with the Rainbow Bridge visualization at 8.30pm.

This week Liz felt that she flew to the bridge instead of walking. It was a long convex bridge with scalloped hand rails. She saw what looked like Rupert Bear and his pals coming over towards her and she was particularly aware of the Chinese girl who whisked her to some mountains in the clouds. The Chinese girl showed Liz some books filled with tales and scriptures in a foreign language possibly Tibetan. She said they were very important and had a lot to learn in them. The Chinese girl seemed to be on a solid surface whereas Liz felt she was floating in clouds. Liz then became aware of a reindeer which she commandeered to fly her back to the bridge as the tune was coming to an end.      

I felt I wanted my visualization to unfold by itself this week without too much input from me. At first I got a blank image but it looked like it was being squeezed and stretched by two hands. I saw a bright light blue light shining at me. Then I found myself at the bridge which looked wooden with bamboo sides. As I walked over it I saw what I thought was the black panther with bright eyes I’ve seen before but as it got closer it looked more like a snake and then closer still I saw it had legs like a large lizard. It was friendly and came close to me. I tried to see what was on the other side but could only see mushroom shaped objects. I’d felt a bit trance like during the visualization and had a pressure on my forehead and sides of my face.

I felt a bit overshadowed as I did the opening prayer as if someone was adding a few words.

I put the music back on.

Liz thought the room was looking lighter.
To me it looked speckly.

A few minutes later we both concurred it was looking darker.
Then I was seeing bright blobs in front of me and Liz saw them too.
Liz said they looked pasted over the dark of the room.
They were moving across the room from my left to right and seemed to make the luminous tabs on the table shine brighter as they passed in front of them.

We both felt warm.
Liz had a hot feeling under each foot.

I saw a flash to my left and Liz noticed it too.
We both concurred that it looked like a line or streak, like a shooting star and as we talked about it we both saw another one.

I had some light touches on my right hand, right side of my face and right ear.
I felt my friend was to my right again.
I was yawning a lot.

Liz felt light touches in her hair.
She got the feeling of a big brown bear.

My legs were now cold.
Then my right foot felt fuzzy. It started to warm up getting very hot and remained so for about ten minutes. It felt a bit like a hot towel had been placed over it.
I felt something in my hair.
It looked white and misty each side of me.

Liz felt a pushing on her left arm, pushing her sideways.
She kept getting ‘Plains Indians’
Then a strong sense of a rattle snake.
She drifted off for about ten minutes.

I was getting colder to my right.
I felt light touches on both feet and tickles in my hair.

Liz felt a cool breeze on her face.

I was aware of a light shining down on my right.
I had a fuzzy feeling under both feet.
There was a kind of misty movement to my right.

Liz got the feeling of children needing help. She felt they had passed over but were tangled up in something. She felt an irritation in her throat making her cough. Then her voice was hoarse.
She then had an image of a clown.
Liz got the words ‘Tod Mortem’
(Tod is death in German and also is used as ‘time of death’ and Mortem is used in ‘post mortem’)

Liz felt like the room was full of loose cotton wool.
We both saw a kind of arch in the room.

Liz suddenly got very hot.
She sensed a dry river bed and felt people stamping on it as if dancing.

I was seeing bright blobs in front of me again. They were reddish and at times so bright that I could no longer see the luminous tabs on the table.
My right foot started getting hot again.
I had a buzzing in my right ear.
I was getting cold.
My right leg felt fuzzy and I felt a light touch on the left side of my face.

We both drifted off for a while during the last two tunes.

The music ended and Liz did the healing exercise including sending white light to the children she had sensed during the sitting.
She then did the closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

While Liz was doing the healing I was aware of a bright gold flower flash into my vision that seemed to open up on the floor before disappearing again.

We won’t be sitting over the Christmas/new year period but will be back on January 9th

Update 12/12/2013

We won't be sitting this week but will be back on Thursday 19th Dec for our last sit before the Christmas break...

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…

16th Sitting 28/11/2013


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

Liz recalled going down stone steps to the bridge which looked small at first then became larger. It was very long and made of a criss-cross shinning metal.  
A white horse that she recognised and gave off great love met her on the bridge pulling a cart. She thought she saw a priest on the cart wearing a cloak morphing from brown to grey then realised she was wearing the cloak and sitting on the cart. She wanted to sit on the horse which she did and it took her to the other side and along the bank. She saw people she knew and in the distance beyond a meadow was a white domed building like a planetarium. Liz wanted to go there and was told it was ready for her, they are working with us and she would be shown it in due course. It was connected with sundials and time.
About this point the music was coming to an end and she had to struggle to get back to her side of the bridge before it finished.

I was feeling light headed as we started the Rainbow Bridge exercise.
I found myself as usual on a grass bank but it seemed to take longer for me to reach the bridge tonight. When I got there a bright pin-prick light flashed on and off which got my attention as it didn’t seem to be part of the visualization but more physical. Half way across the bridge I met my mother. This was the second time I’ve met her on the bridge and like last time her mum and dad were behind her along with other friends and relatives.

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

Liz was seeing blue blobs over the table as I opened.
Then she saw blue shapes moving round the room and said the atmosphere was looking marbled.
I still felt light headed.
I saw a flash in the room.

Liz saw movement near the ceiling like wave patterns you would see if looking up under water.
Then we both saw a few flashes in the room.

My legs went cold and the left one felt very fuzzy.
I felt tickles round my right ear.

Liz was seeing a brown/gold colour between the blue shapes.
Liz got an impression and the words… ‘How wonderful to spend an evening like this with you’

It was looking light and misty in my peripheral vision but dark and black in front of me.
I heard a click high up to my left.
I felt something in my nose and my left leg was very fuzzy again.

Liz thought the atmosphere looked skewed like half an arch.
The arch became more defined and it looked like a tunnel was forming.
It looked very three dimensional, like a rabbit hole.
I also had the feeling I was looking down a tunnel, bright on the outside and dark ahead.
Liz agreed it looked dark ahead and bright around it.

I had a pressure on my forehead and picked up a ‘furniture polish’ type smell.

Liz reported what she perceived as two solid legs or tree trunks in the centre of the room.
She said there was light squeezing in between them.
All I could see at that point was a few white wispy bits in the centre of the room.

I felt a pressure on my right foot.

Liz had the sensation of a light person in the middle of the room.
This person seemed familiar to her, like a shepherd with a crook.  
I couldn’t see a person but saw a shapeless bright blob in the centre of the room.
Liz said this person was urging her to see, showing her places of power.
She saw something like the fabric of reality, a knitted garment.
This reminded her of a poem she had seen many years ago in The Healer, the magazine from Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary.

My hands felt very hot then went cold again after about two minutes.
Liz had the feeling someone was looking through her eyes.
I got the words… ‘The seeds of time, don’t waste them, plant them wisely’
I heard a rustling noise to my right.

Liz was feeling giddy.
She saw whirls around her like the spirals on a sea shell.

I felt a pressure on my head like a thumb pressing into it.
Liz also felt a pressure on her head and felt her hair being touched.
I was very cold and surrounded by bright blobs.
Liz felt very hot.

I then got the impression I had sunk down and Liz had risen up as if we were both on a see-saw!!!
Liz agreed she could sense that as well.
A few minutes later I felt like I was up in the air and Liz had sunk down. My two feet were still firmly on the floor so it must have been some kind of an illusion.

I saw a lot of red around me.
Liz sensed a star fish image above her head.
Then she had the impression of a large dome reaching up into the sky.

I was thinking to myself I hadn’t felt my friend to my right this week when I suddenly got a strong cold tingly feeling all down my right side!!!
Liz felt cold round her head.
She felt her hair pulled.

I felt a cold tingly feeling all over for a few seconds like someone had walked through me.
Then Liz reported a similar feeling and also got the word… ‘Custard?’
Liz saw a dim flash near the ceiling then got the impression of a fox.

I drifted off during the last two tunes and saw a man sitting to my right. He was very thin and wearing baggy shorts. He made me think of a prisoner of war. He told me he felt privileged to be part of this group, he’d been waiting a long time to find a group like this to work in.
Then I found myself with a person holding an odd shaped trumpet like musical instrument. He seemed frustrated and kept saying the instrument was the wrong shape and wouldn’t play like that.

When the last tune ended it felt to me like the energy had lifted and I felt totally back with it.
Liz was still feeling a bit giddy but felt fine after doing the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...

15th Sitting 21/11/2013


We had the room set up as usual and as always started at 8.30pm with the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ visualization exercise then compared notes afterwards…

Liz found herself in a meadow with yellow and pink flowers walking towards a lake with a flat wooden bridge going over it. It was a very basic looking bridge like it was made out of packing cases. Over the other side she could see a flat landscape with farm animals, carts, hay stacks like a kibbutz with a friendly feeling. It also gave her the feeling of being Dutch and she noticed she was wearing clogs!!! She saw a man with long white hair she recognised as a guide with a white horse pulling a hay cart. The feeling this all gave her was of a simple life and contentment…

I started off on a grassy bank and noticed the bridge was yellow. Also the water beneath it and the sky above it were yellow and as I walked across I found I was wearing a yellow suit!!! With all this yellow about I wasn’t surprised to meet Freddie with his yellow jacket on half way across. He took me a bit further over and I saw on the other side white Indian type buildings looking a bit like the Brighton pavilion. Then they folded down like cardboard cut-outs and all I could then see was a white mist. Freddie explained that the mist was where he now resided and the buildings were just an illusion for people when they first went over. As Freddie returned to the other side I saw what looked like sheet music flowing behind him…

I was seeing blobs in front of me and felt a pressure on my forehead between doing the ‘Rainbow Bridge Exercise’ and saying the opening prayer.

Then during the opening prayer when I welcomed our spirit friends I said it felt like they were here already and at that point there was a loud click on the heater that we’d turned off just before sitting. The click we put down to the sound of it cooling down but the timing was impressive!!!

I put the music on.
I saw mist to my right.
Then more blobs in front of me, they were floating down from the ceiling then going left.

Liz saw a bluish mist and a few dark shapes moving around.

We both reported seeing a network of branches in the room.
To me it looked like fibre-glass matting and Liz agreed with that description.

Liz saw a red patch in front of her.

I saw a flash to my right, then two flashes above me.
Liz saw a few sparks.

I was getting very cold, particularly on my right.
I sensed my friend was standing there again.
I had a fuzzy feeling on my right leg.

Liz saw what she described as a rippled, fuzzy, distorted shape above the table.
It looked blobby again in front of me. This time the blobs were floating upwards.

I felt a light tickly touch like a feather on the back of my left hand.
I saw a bright pin-prick flash on and off above the table.

Liz was now getting a visual pattern like elongated arches floating upwards.
She said it was like looking at the rings in a tree trunk that had been squashed.
Then she saw horizontal platted shapes like a snake skin.

I felt a buzzing vibration on my legs just above the knee which lasted about 30 seconds.

Liz felt herself being drawn into a mint green honey-comb.
She felt someone with her merging into her energy. She recognised the person and had known him when she was 13 years old. She felt emotional.

I saw two lights drifting upwards and disappearing where Liz was sitting opposite me.

Liz had a tingling on the top of her head and a freezing/burning sensation. She had dark encroaching on her. She felt she was being veiled, cradled, just looking out through her eyes like she was in a burka.

I felt something on my right ear.
Liz saw some flashes near me.
She saw a rolling mist.

Liz was warm but felt a cool breeze around her legs.
I was cold all over.
I had a fuzzy feeling on my right leg then felt a cool breeze coming from my right.

I drifted off for a while and experienced a person I had known when I was 13 years old which gave me a feeling of emotion. Interestingly this mirrored Liz’s experience earlier.
In both cases the personal memories we both got were connected with someone encouraging creative talents at an early age.

My nose became blocked and itchy.

Liz got a strong sense of a black tulip.
She was getting impressions of things to do with art or artists.

I got a buzzing vibration on my legs again for about 30 seconds.

I was aware of light to my right.
Liz confirmed it looked bright there too.

Then I noticed something light up for about two seconds on my lap then again near the table.
Liz saw a couple of flashes near me at the same time.

We both drifted off for about ten minutes during the last two tunes.
When I came back I recalled hearing a few words…

At first I heard ‘Virtual reality’ repeated a few times and then something like…

‘We’re not hiding from you, you can sense us everywhere. We are the wind, the rustle of the leaves in the trees; the rain on your face is us touching you… We are in the music you listen to and the art you look at… Don’t think of us as just people or entities…’

The music CD ended and once we were both back with it again Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

14th Sitting 14/11/2013


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

Liz’s visualisation kicked off in a flowery, yellowy grass meadow with a large lake covered in water lilies like an impressionist painting. The bridge was bamboo  and there were lots of Chinese/Mongolian girls in kimono type dresses. One of the girls looked familiar and she took Liz across the bridge, showing her a Mongolian tent like a large yurt. There was a Mongolian man in boots and hat there and Liz got the feeling of Mongolian overtone chanting, something that interests her at the moment…

Interestingly my visualisation started with me hearing what I thought were monks chanting as I walked to the bridge.
(The next day I had a listen to some Mongolian overtone chanting on Youtube, not having heard it before, and it sounded very much like in the visualisation)
I walked across the bridge and was aware of what I thought were small dogs running around my feet but they actually looked like bits of grey fog darting about. I saw two small lights in the distance then saw it was the eyes of the black panther I’ve met before on the bridge. It was accompanied by an Eskimo looking man who seemed to be having trouble walking as he was wearing such thick cloths. He had long dark hair and something on his head.
(Liz thought he could have been the Mongolian man she saw when I described him to her)
I patted the panther on the head while the man wished me a good evening before they both returned to their side.

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

I’d felt a pressure on my forehead during the Rainbow Bridge Exercise but that had gone now.
I was warm.
It soon started to look misty/glowy in the room particularly to my right.
I felt a few light touches around my right ear.

Liz’s legs went cold. She said it felt like a cool breeze on them.

I was getting colder on my right, especially around my hip.
I felt my friend was standing as always to my right.

Liz saw a mist in the centre of the room above the table.
Then she was aware of a reddish glow throughout the room.

I saw a flash in front of me then the whole room seemed to get darker.
I noticed a lot of flashes to my right.
Then a light touch in my hair and a tickle in my right ear.

Liz saw a flash in the centre of the room and then got the name ‘Winnie’

I saw white wispy bits moving above the table.
I felt a tickle on the back of my right hand, a bit like someone blowing on it.
It now seemed very bright to my right.

Liz saw shapes drifting across the room.

I had a big bright ‘jelly fish’ type blob build up in front of me.
I tried turning my head but it remained in front of my face.
I could also see it with my eyes closed.

Liz was aware of an arch of slanting energy like lines of light across the room.
She had a strong sensation of material like coconut skin or a hair shirt.
Liz then felt a hand pressing down on her head.

I had a feeling like thumbs pressing into the bottom of my back.
I got a sweet woody smell.

Liz drifted off.

My right side was now freezing cold but my left side warm.

I tried to expand my awareness into whoever was to my right.
I got a strong feeling of love and friendship.
I felt fuzzy touches on my right hip and leg.
Then I felt them on my right arm and shoulder.
At times it felt like physical touches then like a fuzzy feeling entering my body.

I then drifted off for a while.
Liz was still very quiet.

We both came back about the same time.
Liz had been out of it for 20 mins.
She recalled a strong image of a talking harp.
She’d felt various loving entities move in close to her. They were playing with energy as if trying different ways of interacting with her.
She felt her mouth being manipulated at times.

I had also felt my mouth manipulated when I’d drifted off particularly my top lip and I also had what felt like hands either side of my face. I had no feelings off anyone wanting to communicate through me. It always feels different to me in this group compared to the Mercury Light Circle.
I had the feeling of a book in my hands and when I looked at the cover there was a picture of my mother’s mother.

We were both now feeling cold all over.
During the last tune I noticed the room suddenly go darker.

We both felt the sitting had gone slowly this week… Normally it flies by.

Liz did the healing exercise then the closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

13th Sitting 07/11/2013

We were back after missing last week.
The room was set up as usual.

At 8.30pm we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.

Liz’s visualisation started with an awareness of lush green grass on the bank. The bridge is always on her left, a convex arch made of metal, trellis sides, open mesh floor. There was a rainbow mist everywhere and over the other side Liz could see spires, turrets and mountains with white horses galloping around like a fairy tale setting.
A young woman with tight platinum blond hair in curls was coming towards her. She looked like a school friend but Liz felt it was Joan as a young woman. She told Liz she was working with us and gave her a diamond asking her to keep it.

I also started with the lush green grass feeling but my bridge is always to my right. Like a few weeks back I had the feeling I was a giant then a dwarf before settling down to the correct size to walk over the bridge. There was a pinkie sunset. I was met by a black man with short hair dressed as a priest and dangling a smoking thurible. He walked with me to the centre of the bridge then communicated with me but without words. I got the feeling he was saying there’s a lot more for me to learn and discover but to carry on as I do. Then he sprouted two large white wings and morphed into a white bird that slowly flew back to his side.

I did the opening prayer and put on the music.

Liz sensed people in the room.
I was feeling warm at the start.

Liz reported mist building up in the room from her right. It was bluish.
I saw some white mist but it was mainly to my right.

I started yawning and carried on till about halfway through.

I was getting cold round my legs.
My right leg was tingly.

Liz said the mist had cleared but I could still see it to my right and it was now yellow.
I felt a pressure on my right ear.
I felt there was somebody to my right as I have done for the past few weeks.

Liz was seeing drifting shapes and dim lights in front of her.
I felt something running down the right side of my face.

Liz noticed dim flashes across the room and asked our friends if it was them to do it again.
15 seconds later she saw a falling light from the same direction.

The room was now looking darker to me then I saw a flash to my right at floor level.

We both drifted out of it slightly.

I was aware of a bright blob in front of me.
I felt a light touch on my right arm and pressure on my forehead.

Liz also reported pressure on her forehead and felt she had someone with her.
She felt a hand pushing down on her head and felt prickly all over.
She felt there was a tent or fir tree in the centre of the room.

I saw a few dim lights moving around over the table.

I felt a vibration under my foot and a touch in my hair.
Liz felt a juddering feeling all over.

Liz got some names, Larry, Lenny and Charlotte.

I felt another touch in my hair.

Liz and I both drifted off again.

Liz found herself keeled over sideways when she came back.
She got the words Yellowstone and yellow feather.
I saw three ladies kneeling in a circle outside somewhere and noticed one of them was glowing blue.

Liz was now very warm.
I was freezing cold and I still couldn’t stop yawning.

Liz saw a flash above her.
She then felt herself becoming overshadowed.
She got the name Terrence and the place Tavistock.
She had the impression of ticker tape and early computers.

I saw two faces one looking up and the other looking down.
I also saw a young girl with pony tails dancing around the room.

Liz saw a bluish light over the table.
The room looked very black to me.

Liz was feeling colder and felt a cold breeze which made her shudder.
I was now feeling warm again.

The last tune ended.

Liz did the healing exercise then the closing prayer and closing down exercise for us both.

It had felt a bit different to me tonight. I normally drift off a bit towards the end but this week had felt very awake at the end and had drifted off more at the start and middle of the session.
I have so far never felt like I’m going to be controlled when sitting in the Mercury Experiment but tend instead to experience more visualisations and dreams when I drift off…

Update 31/10/2013

we're not sitting this week but will be back with the Mercury Experiment next week on the 7th November...

12th Sitting 24/10/2013

We had everything set up as usual and started with the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz saw an enormous bridge like a highway with a white sports car on it. There were two Tibetan looking men with sunglasses and a lady with a red scarf in the car. They took Liz to a pearl palace with a shell pool inside encouraging her to bath in it as it gave her healing…

The first thing I noticed was it was night time and moonlight reflected on the water under the bridge. I made my way over the bridge and saw shooting stars each time I looked up. I was met by a friendly black panther with shining bright eyes. Behind the panther stood an American Indian with a headdress full of feathers and he gave me a feeling that things in the circle were progressing well before both he and the panther returned to their side of the bridge…

I did the opening prayer and put the music on.

I felt pressure on my forehead and a tickle down the back of my head.
The room was looking lighter and flashy each side of me but still dark in the centre.
Liz saw blue in the centre of the room and drifting shapes.

Liz saw a light fall down in front of her.

My right leg went fuzzy and cold.
I felt a pressure on my right ear.
Then I became very cold down my right side and had a feeling someone was standing to my right. This feeling and coldness on my right remained for most of the sitting while my left side remained warm.
It was a mild evening.

Liz saw a few flashes near where I felt someone was standing.
Then she saw a bright blobby form there which at times looked human shaped.

Liz saw a blue/white line of light flash above her.
I saw white wispy light on the ceiling.
Liz felt coldness to her left and felt there was someone there.
She felt tickles on her neck.
She got the impression the darkness in the room was slanting and sliding.

Liz saw a lot of pink/red to her right and was now feeling warm.
It developed into a pink/red ball that kept changing shape and moving round the room.

We both kept hearing a kind of muffled scraping noise coming from to the left and behind Liz at ceiling height. It was a windy evening and I later discovered in was something being moved by the wind in an air vent in the room next door.

I reported moving waves of light from my left and Liz saw them too.

I felt touches on my left leg, a fuzzy feeling on the left side of my head and cobweb feelings over my face.
I noticed a light flash on and off between me and the table.

Liz was getting hotter. She did have a blanket wrapped round her and her hood up which probably didn’t help!!!
We both reported cool breezes over our faces at about the same time.

Liz got the name ‘Suzanne’

I drifted off a bit during our penultimate tune and got the phrase ‘The ensemble have arrived’
Then I visualised children floating round and round above the table dropping daisies on to it. They were dressed in white night gowns then they slowly changed into white smoke which disappeared up into the ceiling.

Liz again saw Chinese ladies with parasols and a small elephant.
She felt she had people with her who had been involved with her science projects in the past.
Someone looking like a working peasant on a donkey came towards her who she then recognised as a young gypsy boy she had fostered many years ago…

For me at first it was very windy and stormy with waves in the water and a lot of birds flying around.
As I crossed the bridge the weather calmed down becoming warm and sunny but I didn’t see anybody half way across so kept going until I was stopped by a tall city gent with a bowler hat and two short men either side of him. There was something amusing about them reminding me of a ‘Monty Python’ sketch…

I did the opening prayer then put on the music.
I became very cold as I said the prayer.
We both reported a mottled light in the room.

I felt a cold fuzzy feeling move through me from right to left.
I picked up a sweet woody smell.

We both thought the room had suddenly become dark.

I now had a burning toast smell and felt warmth on my face as if something hot was in front of it. The rest of me was cold.

Liz had a large ball of light in front of her and a luminous green fog around her.
She felt several touches in her hair.

I drifted off slightly and felt feelings on the sides of my face like it was cupped in two hands.

10th Sitting 10/10/2013

We were back to just Liz and I this week and started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz saw a Chinese landscape with lots of happy people, parasols etc. Then it changed and she saw hospitals, nurses and centres of learning. She saw people she recognised then a young girl ran up to her reminding her of Alice in Wonderland. The young girl was connected to a children’s hospital. There were healers there as well who were part of our spirit team.

In my visualisation I found I was a giant and too big to get over the bridge then I shrank and became a midget. I stood by the bridge and waited till I was the right size before going over. (Liz pointed out the connection with Alice in Wonderland) I met my mother on the bridge and noticed that behind her were her mum and dad and behind them their mums and dads and so on in a never ending line.   

I did the opening prayer and put on the music.

I had a pressure on my forehead.

It was still very cold on my legs.
I felt tickles on my throat and right ear.

We both saw a dim column of light in the centre of the room and we both reported a kind of wispy smoke in the room.

Liz got the name ‘Cathryn’ or ‘Cat’ and she saw a nurse dressed in blue and white looking after children. She kept looking under beds for something.

I had another cool breeze on my face.

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

9th Sitting 03/10/2013

Dan sat with us this week. He’s not planning on becoming a regular sitter but came along to experience it as he’d missed our MLC sit on Monday.

Liz and I sat in our usual places with Liz in the west, me in the east and Dan decided to sit in the north.

As always we started with the rainbow bridge exercise and reported what we’d experienced afterwards.

Liz saw a procession of people with Chinese type parasols including an elephant. These then became distant and she was aware of what she thought was a monk in brown robes on a brown donkey. She recognised the man as someone she knew who had passed.

Dan went halfway across the bridge and sat down. He couldn’t see clearly over to the other side as there was a shimmering translucent vale across it. Then a young boy came out of it looking for his mum. He sat with Dan for a while before going back.

I saw a young girl walking towards me who looked like an orphan with a dirty white dress on but as she got nearer she changed becoming brighter and cleaner and looked more like a fairy. She had a wand with a sparkling star on it which she gave to me before running back to a group of people on the other side.

I did the opening prayer before putting the music back on.

As soon as I did this I felt my legs from the knees down get cold.
Then both Liz and Dan reported cold legs.
I saw a few small thin black shadows moving around.

We all heard a loud thunder noise coming from the ceiling which got us all excited but we later found out there had actually been a thunderstorm overhead at that time!!!

Both Liz and Dan felt touches on the top of their heads.
I felt like something very cold moved past in front of me.

We all felt warm but our lower legs still felt cold.
It was a mild evening.

Liz had the feeling of a crow’s beak coming towards her.
The she had the impression of a tent in the centre of the room which was getting bigger.

She then felt the room had become bell shaped.

I felt tickles around my left ear and chin.

Liz saw red light in the room.
It looked pinkish/white to me.
My face became hot for a few seconds.

Liz felt her head was being split open from the top by a rod going through it!!!
She felt we were all like ripe corn being split open harvesting energy.

Liz was aware of a dark curly haired young man with spectacles sitting in the corner of the room.

For the last 15 minutes Dan was completely out of it.
I could tell he’d gone off and had someone with him by his fast breathing and there were a few slurpy lip-smacking sounds coming from him.
When he came back he felt a gummy, mucus feeling in his throat and found it difficult to swallow for a while.  
Dan had no memories of it.

Liz felt her lower abdomen being turned over and manipulated like there were hands inside her.
She said it reminded her of psychic surgery.

The music ended and Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and closing exercise…

Liz met a smiling Joan along with Freddie, a tall African woman, someone on a horse and someone on an elephant. They were all dressed in white.
Over on the other side she saw temples and places of learning.

I just met a white horse with no rider.
There was a light shining down on me illuminating the way as I walked onto the bridge and over on the other side I saw lots of candle flames.

Liz got excited when I mentioned the white horse as it meant a lot to her. She associated it with St Columba and the Isle of Iona, a place she has a strong association with and where she’d just been for her holiday.

It looked very bright to me where Liz was sitting.

I drifted off towards the end of the sitting and had a strange vision of the glass dome growing in size and a hand coming up through the hole in the base and waving!!!
I also felt like I’d had a conversation with Joan. It was about the music playing but I don’t recall exactly what she said.

Liz felt something running through her hair.

The music ended and we both commented on the energy which had become very dense and thick.

Liz met a young girl with long golden hair who reminded her of her daughter. She had lots of children with her and there was also a black African man who Liz recognises as a familiar spirit friend. In the distance she saw many people representing all the different nations on earth. They all then turned into birds and flew away. Liz got the impression their bodies were just shells and their true spirit natures were like birds.

Liz was met by a mixture of races including Tibetans, Egyptians and Westerners. She wanted to carry on to the other side but they wouldn’t let her and carried her back on a chair.

I drifted off for a few minutes and came back with a message in my head which I verbalised…

We sat with the room set up as before in full blackout but Liz had made up a new ‘spirit inspired’ music mix.
It was a mixture of up-beat songs and classical pieces ranging from Pink Floyd to St Hildegard of Bingen!

As usual we started with the ‘Rainbow Bridge Visualization Exercise’
Liz saw three Chinese people who presented her with the three jewels. Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Then she met someone who looked like Confucius.
