28th Sitting 27/03/2014

Liz was feeling better this week.

We had everything set up as usual except we decided as an experiment to remove all luminous tabs so we were now sitting in total darkness.

We started with our Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz began on a river bank watching boats going past. She couldn’t see the other side as it was in a mist. Liz felt she wanted to stay on this side and was blocked from going over but at the same time felt she was being called to go over as if invisible hands were reaching out to pull her over. The bridge was suspended and made from wrought iron. As Liz walked across, the other side became mushy, undefined and marsh mellow like with rainbows coming out of it. As she got closer she saw wonderful colours, very unusual and different colours like jewels, quite magical like an enchanted forest path. Liz met a lady with blonde hair who greeted her. There was a door but Liz felt she needed healing and cleansing first as she wasn’t quite prepared. She felt she was made welcome and could go there when she was ready but now didn’t feel right…

I started off on a pebble beach which felt uncomfortable under bare feet. I couldn’t see the other side as it was misty but I saw the odd pin-prick light in the mist which I thought at the time may be lights on boats. I started over the bridge which was narrow. I could reach both hand rails at the same time. It became brighter, the mist cleared and I saw rainbows as I walked across. I noticed birds flying above me. At first just white gulls then there were tropical birds of many colours. By now the sun was shining brightly. I met a white robed monk who didn’t speak but just held his hands out to me and I put my hands in his. He then let go and pointed to the other side where I saw a wonderful landscape made up of colourful jewels sparkling in the sunshine. I realised this was what was making the pin-prick lights that I had seen in the mist from my side. Before leaving the monk gave me something which I couldn’t discern properly. It was something like a piece of rope or a belt?…

Our visualisations had many similarities again. We both couldn’t see the other side due to mist; we both had hands reach out to us, we each met one person who didn’t speak and we saw coloured jewels and rainbows.

I didn’t think of it at the time but I’ve since realised that what I saw was possibly a kind of metaphor for me as for some time now I have seen pin-pricks during my daily life, usually when I’m thinking about spiritual things. Maybe they were giving me a glimpse of the source of these pin-pricks?

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

It was getting very cold in front of my legs.

We both thought the room had gone darker.

Liz saw lots of shapes and blotches moving around the room.

I thought it looked blotchy too.

Liz had a sensation of the space distorting, becoming circular like a gold fish bowl and visual patterns like streams going round.

She sensed flowing energy streaming through the room.

I had a sense of hexagonal shapes like honeycomb and I was aware of much movement in the room.

Liz had a tickle in her hair.

My legs were very cold like there was a cold breeze in front of them.

Liz saw a pyramid shape blob in front of her.

When she said that I too briefly saw a pyramid shape in front of me and it seemed to be glowing on the top, a bit like snow on a mountain.

I had a tickle in my left ear and on the back of my left hand.

My legs felt fuzzy.

I had a big bright blob in front of me.

My nose was getting blocked.

The room was looking darker again to me and I noticed a reddish colour to my right.

Liz also noticed the reddish colour which was to her left and she then saw it slowly move to her right.

Liz then got a blue glowing shape in the centre of her vision.

I thought the centre of the room was getting brighter.

I had a fuzzy touch on my right arm and a tickle on the back of my right leg.

There were lots of blobs which seemed to be close to my eyes and a bluish colour.

Liz saw some fleeting lights go past, right to left.

A click came out on the recording which neither of us heard at the time…

AUDIO CLIP

I saw a white misty light to my right.

Liz had a blob to her left which developed into round swirls like bunches of grapes.

Then in front and to the right of her she saw what looked like a curly haired wig or sheep’s wool.

I had a strong fuzzy feeling on my right ankle and it felt like something was wrapping itself around it.

It now looked dark and felt very cold to my right.

Liz saw what looked like coconut matting and diamond shapes at the bottom of her field of vision.

I was now freezing cold. It was like the cold was going through me from right to left.

Liz was also very cold.

I felt something in my hair.

I saw a pin-prick light to my right and felt a touch on my right arm.

Then I felt something in my hair again.

We paused the music for two minutes and listened out for any noises.

We heard nothing in the room and I put the music back on.

My stomach was making rumbling noises and I now had a big bright blob in front of me.

I got a strong taste in my mouth and my lips became very cold.

The taste went but returned about five minutes later.

It was very cold in front of me.

The last two tunes came on which are both instrumentals (Ensemble Accentus - Si verias and Beethoven-Moonlight Sonata) we normally both drift off during these but this week I found myself being controlled. I remained aware but in a slightly altered state.

I got the strong taste in my mouth again and noticed it seemed to be coming from the roof of my mouth and not up from my throat. It was different to what I experience in the cabinet on Mondays in the Mercury Light Circle when I feel stuff building up in my throat.

My arms were moved up in front of me and cupped like they were holding a ball. Then my hands were held together as if in prayer.

My breathing was slow and controlled. There was a soft gurgling sound as I slowly breathed out and my breath felt very hot against my hands. I didn’t feel they wanted to speak at this point; they were just experimenting with me.

I was held very still and it felt like there was a tall collar around the back and sides of my neck stopping my head moving.

Then all the sensations and taste left me just as the music came to an end.

It’s difficult to describe the taste. The best I can think of is a kind of sulphur egg taste but it wasn’t unpleasant. Some mediums I’ve sat with in the past have mentioned a metallic taste in their mouth but I wouldn’t say this was metallic.

During this time Liz had been aware of somebody she knew in the room.

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

27th Sitting 20/03/2014

We had the room set up as normal.

Liz was still a little under the weather with a tickly cough.

The luminous tabs were a bit brighter this week which we found a bit of a hindrance when trying to see phenomena and may next week experiment with no luminosity in the room.

As always we kicked off with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz started off visualizing a rainbow and then she was in a meadow full of wild flowers like daisies and harebells. There were also children, lambs and goats in the meadow. Liz then found herself by a large shallow lake or stream with a wooden bridge going over it. She was holding the hands of some of the children and had a white goat with her. They all started walking over the bridge which was wide, wooden with very shallow sides painted a green pea blue colour. Half way across she came up to a large glass lift or elevator. It went straight up instead of across and they all got in. It went up into and above the clouds to a white shimmering place with a large golden palace or temple. It had a court yard with fountains and harps everywhere. There was wonderful music playing and it was just a wonderful harmonious place to be in and nice to know they could go and be there. Liz thought about changing the goat into a unicorn and flying back but decided instead to come back the same way she got there…

I started off sitting on a large grey rock. I climbed down to walk towards the river and bridge and sensed there was a cave behind me but didn’t look round to see. I had to negotiate several rocks and when I touched one of them it moved and I realized they were all made of something like polystyrene and weren’t real. The bridge was wooden and unpainted. As I walked across I passed several white horses going the other way and some were pulling carriages with what looked like Victorian ladies on board. The bridge then turned into a Victorian street and I carried on walking looking at the old buildings and I noticed several boys running around looking like they’d come out of the musical Oliver. There was a beggar sitting at the side of the street and I threw him some coins from my pocket which I saw were old pennies and ha’pennies. I knew the tune was ending and wondered how I might get back. Then when I turned round and looked behind me I saw that the street had morphed back into the bridge so I just had to walk back to my side again…

This week we had both seen our bridge turn into something unusual and neither of us communicated with anyone we just observed…

I’d had a strong pressure on my forehead while doing the Rainbow Bridge exercise and now felt light headed.

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

Liz suddenly felt hot.

It felt cool and breezy around my legs.   

I felt light touches on the back of my right hand.

I could see lots of movement in the room. It looked bright and blobby with darker shapes moving about.

I had a pulsating feeling in my right arm between elbow and wrist. I felt pins and needles in my right hand.

I suddenly got very cold down my right side.

Liz suddenly felt very cold round her legs.

I now had a throbbing feeling in the fingers of my right hand.

I saw a bright blue blob in front of my eyes, more to the right, and a pressure around my right ear.

It was now very cold down the front of my legs.

I noticed an earthy smell which lasted a few seconds.

I felt something around my right ear. It was similar to the feeling I get in the cabinet.

Liz said it was as if a light had been turned out and went suddenly dim.

I saw a black shadow move from left to right.

There were a few dim shooting stars to my left.

The room looked very dark to me.

We both heard a click which came from the direction of the empty seat to my left and Liz’s right. It sounded like it was in the room and not a noise from next door.

The click came out on the recording. It sounds different on the recording to the click we had last week which neither of us heard at the time.

AUDIO CLIP

The room now looked lighter to me with a light mist on the ceiling.

It got very cold in front of my legs again.

I could feel something trickling down the left side of my face.

I felt a tickle on my left foot then on the back of my right leg.

My nose was getting blocked.

I had the feeling I was getting smaller, or my chair and the room was getting bigger.

I felt tickles on my left foot again.

We both thought the room had gone dark.

I got a smell like a phosphorus match striking.

Liz got the smell as well.

I had a feathery touch on the back of my right hand.

I suddenly got very cold.

This week instead of doing our Cross Experiment we paused the music for about two minutes and sat quiet allowing our spirit friends to produce any sounds…

I heard two very quiet clicks to my right but Liz didn’t hear them and nothing was picked up by the recorder. I also saw a massive bright blob build up in front of me while we sat listening.

We will continue to do this for the next few weeks unless instructed otherwise.

Liz had a sensation of being a slice in a long series going before and after, a time sequence. She tried to hold onto this slice but had a sense of being smeared out. She tried to bring into a sharp focus just this slice but had the feeling of being three or four dimensional, the time before and after.

I got a feathery touch on my left cheek. It got my attention and felt very physical.

I was very cold again.

I fell asleep a few times during the last two tunes and had some dreams that I couldn’t remember afterwards.

Liz also drifted off a little and found herself thinking about friends and family who had passed.

Once the tunes had ended Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…

Liz continues to set up her fluxgate magnetometer in the room above our séance room and this week readings were picked up which coincided with our healing exercise. We have had readings which correspond to phenomena happening in the room in both our sittings in the past but it’s so far not been consistent so although we keep records we’ve put it down to chance or other outside conditions being recorded. This is now the third time it has happened during the healing exercise in our Thursday group so there is a good chance the healing Liz is sending out is being recorded by the magnetometer…

26th Sitting 13/03/2014

We sat as usual with the addition of lemon and salt in the room as we do with our Monday sits. I decided to do this after I got a strong image of a lemon whilst sitting last week.

Also after forgetting to charge up the luminous tabs on the ping-pong balls and table last week we found it a lot better with them glowing dimly instead of the ‘Blackpool Illuminations’ effect we normally get so again I left the luminous tabs uncharged.

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

This week Liz found herself in a place that she recognized and has been to many times. She was on the shore opposite Holy Island. A rainbow was going across towards the island. She then saw a long white concave bridge with criss-cross white railings and found she was crossing it in leaps and bounds eager to get to the island as if there was no gravity. There seemed to be rainbows everywhere in the mountains on the island which seemed to transpose itself into Nepal and Tibet. Somebody Liz knew who was connected with the island was waiting for her and introduced her to a crowd of people she knew who had passed and she also saw Joan waving to her at the back. She felt reassurance from these people that they were all there working with us and the physical connection Liz had with the island was very important to us…

I started off among tall bamboo plants and it was very hot. I came out onto a shore and saw the bridge which was made out of grey Lego bricks!!! I walked over it with bare feet and could feel the dimpled surface. The bridge was swaying from side to side making me feel giddy. I had the feeling my dad (who is still on this side) was with me, though I didn’t see him. When I saw the other side it looked like a painting and I recognised it as the style of painting my gran (my dad’s mum) used to do. Then I saw my gran walking towards me and she was holding her brushes, paints and pallet. She told me she had indeed painted the scene I could see and gave me the paints saying I could use them in my development. She reminded me of when she’d come through at a Dave Thompson séance and then said... ‘I told you you could develop this...’ She was very reassuring about our circle’s development and I returned to my side clutching the paints, brushes and pallet…

Once again a similarity occurred between our two visualizations as we were both given reassurance about our circles from people we knew…

I was now feeling quite light headed and floaty, a feeling that stayed with me for most of the sitting.

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

The room looked very light and misty to me.

Liz felt cool around her face.

She saw white blobs to her right and it was getting colder to her right.

The room was now looking pink to me and bright each side of me.

I was cold all over, particularly around my waist.

I felt a few touches on the back of my neck.

My nose was feeling blocked.

Liz saw a young female face.

She got the name Barbra and the impression of a colourfully embroidered lace hanky.

I got the impression of three greyhound dogs, black, brown and beige.

I felt a touch in my hair.

We both thought the room had gone very dark.

Liz then thought it was filling with a cloud of bluish fog, with movement within it like reflections in water.

I saw a colourless blob in the centre of the room and that did look a bit like reflections in water.

Liz had a feeling like vertigo in her abdomen.

Then she said the room went dark and the feeling left her.

We both reported a yellow colour in the room.

Liz thought it looked fluffy like an Easter chick!!!

I felt cobwebs over my face and touches in my hair.

Liz was cold down the left side of her face.

I felt cold to my right and had a touch on my right knee.

I had a pressure on my face and felt like someone was close.

It felt like something was holding my hands still. I had them held together on my lap and if I tried to lift them up it was like a magnetic field was holding them down.

The feeling spread to my whole body and for about ten minutes I felt I couldn’t move.

Then the feeling suddenly left me.

Liz got the name Terrence.

The American/Indian tune came on and we once again attempted our ‘Cross Experiment’

Liz got a wrought iron cross, rounded at the bottom, which then changed to a more shinning, sparkling dark grey iron cross. Then she saw a plain flat cross in gold.

I saw a flat black cross coming out of a mist then saw a person standing with their arms out, making the shape of a cross. It then became blobby and misty and I saw an arm reaching out of the mist holding a wooden cross roughly made from two branches.

I felt like my nose was running.

I could see lots of small lights darting around the room.

Liz thought the room looked a violet colour.

She had an irritation in her sinuses.

I felt a touch on my right foot.

Liz saw light to her right.

She thought the luminous tabs were moving on the table but when we put the light on at the end all ping-pong balls were still in their places.

I could see bright blobs moving about on the table.

A tap came out on the recording as if something touched the recorder. Niether of us heard it at the time. We do get noises sometimes from next door but these come out sounding muffled. This tap is quite clear…

AUDIO CLIP

As the music came to an end Liz reported a flash above the table that made her jump.

Then I saw a flash above the table a few seconds afterwards.

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

25th Sitting 06/03/2014

We didn’t sit last week as we had a ‘Liz in the cabinet’ sit instead.

We had the room set up as normal but for some reason I forgot to charge up the luminous tabs on the table and Ping-Pong balls and by the time I realised this it was too late. We could still just about see the luminous tabs but they were nowhere near as bright as usual. 

8.30pm and it was time to start with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.

Liz started off walking through slushy, weedy undergrowth to the river where there was a sandy and pebbly shore. She sat for a while on a rock bathing her feet. To her left was a wooden white bridge. It was long and straight disappearing into the distance. Liz could see some land and clouds in the distance full of rainbows. It was a land of rainbows and she wanted to go there as it looked magical. The edge of the bridge merged with the sandy shore and as Liz walked over it she passed a group of donkeys with panniers and a long train of people like Arabs or Moroccans. They all seemed friendly but carried on walking. There was then a long stretch with nobody on it and Liz started to run. She split into two people, an adult Liz continued walking on the bridge but her awareness was with a child Liz flying above her holding onto two children like Wendy and Peter Pan. When she reached the other side her awareness was back with her adult self on the bridge and she met a lady in a pale blue dress (this ties up with the message Liz got from Joan on Monday 03/03/2014) she had blonde hair and was a bit like Alice in Wonderland. There was a tea party going on with children round a table sitting on deck chairs including Rupert Bear and the Rabbit. The lady asked Liz to sit down with them and encouraged her to work with the children telling her she was welcome back any time. She gave Liz a pearl to keep like a large ball. Liz felt it was to do with communication. (Liz had another message in the Monday group some weeks ago about being a pearl on a beach under moonlight to help with communication) Liz now realised the tune was ending so quickly manufactured an umbrella in her mind to bring her swiftly back to her side…  

My visualization began with me lying in bed. It was like I was dreaming and another body came out from my physical body and floated down to the river bank. My awareness was in my dream body and I could see my physical body asleep in the bed. My dream body was translucent and my vision a bit blurred and everything seemed to be like a photo negative. As I started walking over the bridge my vision became clearer. The bridge was white and the sides were like halves of large spoked wheels. Then I noticed the bridge was made of a kind of foam/sponge material. As I walked across I passed a snake and a couple of lizards going the other way that ignored me or possibly didn’t see me. When I reached the other side there was a column of mist which morphed into a very tall biblical looking man in robes. His size made me realize I was a child and he put his hand on my head and mumbled a few words that I couldn’t understand. Then everything I could see faded and I found myself back in bed…  

Interestingly we both seemed to leave our bodies and become children in a second body this week.

Liz had felt prickles on her head and I had a pressure on my forehead.

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

To me it looked like the room was getting lighter.

Liz got the impression of something falling.

She saw light in her peripheral vision and lots of shapes moving round the room.

I saw misty light each side of me.

Liz was now seeing lights all around the room, mainly vertical and a moving marble effect that was a bluish colour.

I was seeing large wisps of light in the middle of the room with a pink tinge.

My legs were getting cold and feeling fuzzy.

Liz was cold all over.

Liz saw an oblong block of light which got her attention in the middle of the room and it moved to her right.

Then she saw a flash to her right.

She said the centre of the room was now a rose tint.

I could see blobs in the centre of the room and a few dim lights to my right moving towards the centre.

I felt tickles round my face.

There was a lot of pink light to my right, Liz saw it as well.

Liz felt a feathery touch on her face.

My nose felt like it was running.

I felt a light touch on the back of my right hand and tickles round both wrists.

Liz was seeing clouds of blackish grey smoke billowing up in front of her.

I had a bright blue colour in front of me that looked a bit like the surface of crinkled aluminium foil.

Liz felt touches in her hair; it felt like someone was putting a silk scarf on her head.

Then it felt more like a nun’s veil and Liz got a warm peaceful feeling.

I saw a vertical light come and go near the centre of the room. It looked just like curtains parting for a few seconds letting a little light in.

I had a tickle in my left ear.

I felt something in my hair and my nose now felt blocked.

Liz had the sensation of a tree made of light with concave branches dipping down and going out each side of the room. It looked like a negative photo.

I got a vision of a lemon being squeezed. In our other group we always put out half a lemon, salt and various minerals. I wondered if this was a message that we should now do the same in this group. We’ve been using these things since the original Mercury Circle and the idea is that the team can use them to replenish us in some way after our energies have been used during a sitting.

I was yawning a lot and it felt like a tear was running down the side of my nose. I try not to touch my face during a sitting but it was getting so itchy and I had to scratch the side of my nose but when I did so it felt dry.

Liz got a vision of crustacean shells, like crabs.

I felt a touch on my right foot then it suddenly got cold in front of me.

The American/Indian tune came on so we did our cross experiment again.

Liz built a cross out of stripped branches, white wood bound together with string so there was a big lump in the middle where the binding protruded.

Then she did the same thing with bones.

At the end she had a flat brass or gold cross with emeralds and rubies in each of the four ends.

I couldn’t keep my eyes open at the start so closed them and saw a Chinese man made from brass holding his hands together as if praying. He became animated and moved one of his hands to a horizontal position making a cross and he started laughing.

When I opened my eyes there was a bright blob in front of me and I saw a black cross form within the blob followed by a bright shining cross. Then I tried to manipulate the blob into a cross shape which I just about managed to do but couldn’t hold it like that and it sprung back into a blob shape.

I felt something running down my forehead.

Then I felt something running down my left cheek and had tickles in my hair and left ear.

There seemed to be a lot of light to my right.

Liz had the sensation of looking down at a bumpy surface like sand dunes as if she was a bird hovering above.

I drifted off during the last couple of tunes and got an image of vertical lines which changed into a book case full of books. One of them came flying out towards me and I could make out a date, 1930, on the spine. I tried to see the title but couldn’t read it.

My head felt very hot at the end.

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