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…
