We sat and set the room up as usual.
At 8.30pm we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…
Liz began with beautiful yellow irises all around her and a
path through fields and ponds down to a river. There was a woven willow bridge
across the river which Liz started to cross. It was populated with deer,
donkeys, rabbits, all sorts of animals and children and as Liz reached the other
side she saw that was like an enchanted forest with more animals and children.
There were schools that she had seen before and there seemed to be all the
fairy tales and characters there, Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, etc…
A tall woman with short dark hair came up to Liz. She was friendly but not over
warm, a dispassionate friendliness. Liz felt it would be nice to have a big hug
but felt that was implicit, she was slightly stern. She told Liz that the fairy
tales and characters were all important devises for teaching the children and
protecting them somehow. They helped them develop imagination. Liz got the
feeling of lots of bottles of milk, the feeling of them being nurtured, looked
after. Then Liz was given a box full of bubbles, she got into one of the
bubbles and the lady blew her back to her own side…
I started off going down some black marble steps between
rocks leading me to a dry, warm sandy beach. I walked across it to a wooden
bridge which looked like it had been well used as it was covered in sand from
the beach. As I made my way across the bridge it got colder and I began seeing
snow on the bridge. When I reached the other side everything was covered in
snow and I found a group of Eskimos sitting round a fire and I joined then for
a chat. They told me they were pleased I was doing the circle reports in a
thorough and honest way each week and I should carry on doing them as they were
useful to others both now and in the future…
I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on.
I had a pressure on my forehead.
I was cold around the front of my legs and face.
It looked light in my peripheral vision and I kept noticing
flashes in front of me.
Liz commented that she too had been seeing similar flashes earlier
just before we did the Rainbow Bridge. She described them as a visual aura.
We both felt light headed.
Liz got the name ‘Susan’
Liz saw a cluster of small lights go on and off in front of
her then she saw moving shapes.
I had a pink/orange mist in front of me with a few dim white
lights swirling around in it.
I also saw a few pin-prick lights come and go.
Liz was getting cold.
Liz had lumpy white shapes in front of her, then dim torch
lights.
I felt tickles on the back and top of my head.
Liz felt like something was being whirled around on her
right eye.
Then I had a line of light go across my right eye and I felt
a fuzzy feeling around it.
I had a fuzzy feeling on the back of my neck, then on my
right leg between knee and foot.
I saw a bright blob in front of me.
My right leg now felt like it wasn’t there but I still felt
my foot!!!
Then I got the same feeling in my right arm.
I felt like something was slowly moving through me, right to
left.
I was kept very still.
Liz had a prickly feeling in her hair, then a feeling of
something sliding over her head and down the left side. It felt to her like a
hand.
Liz then got a strange feeling down her left side like it
was melting.
This mirrored what I was feeling.
It now felt like something like a towel was being wrapped
around my right leg.
My left arm became fuzzy.
I then had a warm feeling on my left leg just above the
knee. It was like a warm hand was resting on it but I only felt the warmth, not
the physical touch.
I didn’t turn the music down this week as I felt I shouldn’t
move at that point.
I suddenly got very cold all over.
Liz felt a tap on her head like a rap from a knuckle.
She then felt a pressure pushing down on her head.
I had another bright blob in front of me.
For a few seconds I got the impression I was seeing the
music not hearing it. It appeared like a flat sea shell out of the player.
I got very cold again.
We both drifted off for a while as the last two tunes
played.
Liz came back with…
‘Cathryn, a field of daisies and sunshine’
We both felt a bit catatonic at the end but once we were
both feeling back with it Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our
closing down exercise…
