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...

161st Sitting 20/02/2018


Patrick joined us this week for our physical mediumship and phenomena sitting.

We put the dome in the centre of the table with the two quartz crystals and ping-pong balls around it and put the trumpet on the floor under the table.

I did the opening prayer at 7.45pm, turned out the light and put the music on...

I was seeing a few bright blueish blobs floating around the room.

I felt a feathery touch on the back of my left hand.

Patrick was feeling a few breezes around him.
He was going into an altered state and found it difficult to speak.

My legs were getting cold from knees to feet and remained like that for most of the session.

Liz felt a cool breeze around her face.

Liz saw a turbulent pattern in the room, it had ripples in it and swirling patterns.
It looked quite sparkly to me with a kind of slow movement within it.

I felt fuzzy, static type feelings around my legs and feet.

I felt a few light touches in my hair.

I noticed a crackly noise behind me, a bit like a scratchy record.

It seemed to be darker in the room now to me.

The music CD finished and we sat in silence for a few minutes.

Patrick felt a lot of trickily stuff running down the side of his face.

During the session Patrick had been in a halfway house state and he couldn't say anything.
At times he felt as if he couldn't get enough oxygen and had butterfly feelings in his stomach.
He'd felt a lot of breezes around him.
He suggested that there should be some pauses in the music during the session as he felt at times it was zapping the energies rather than helping it.

Liz had got the name Enid Blyton.

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

When we put the light on Patrick's glasses were steamed up.


160th Sitting 13/02/2018


It was just Liz and me this week sitting in the usual way with Liz as the medium developing clairvoyance/inspired speaking/trance.

We have now decided to sit for physical mediumship and phenomena with Patrick every other week in the same way as we did last week.

I turned out the light and put the first tune on and we started with the Rainbow Bridge Visualisation Exercise at 7.35pm...

Liz started off in a street with people passing her and there were boxes of wall flowers. She went down some steep steps to get to a broad river with people swimming and swans. There was a metal bridge with steps leading up to it and as Liz walked over it a horse reared up in front of her and she hugged it as if it was a human, she then climbed on its back and rode to the other side where it was more peaceful and natural with a rainbow haze over it, un-Earthly colours. She felt there were people she knew and teachers there. The horse took her to a white temple hidden in the trees. Liz dismounted and was led through a grey wooden door into a cell or hut. There was a lady in a grey cloak with a hood, Liz couldn't see her face. She was rocking a wooden crib with a baby. Liz sat opposite her, held her hand and felt she was sad but Liz didn't understand why she was there...

I found myself on Eastbourne beach walking on the sand towards the sea. A bridge suddenly appeared from the other side stretching over the sea to the sand but it was just two poles with struts between them like a ladder. I found it hard to balance as I walked over it and then some hands appeared to steady me. A big dog appeared from the other side jumping up at me putting its paws on my shoulders and I hugged it. Then I held onto its lead and it led me to the other side where I saw people I recognised who had died. I asked them what they were doing now and they tried to explain that what I saw was just a small part of them, a part they had played and they were now so much more...

Interestingly we both met an animal that we hugged and it took us to the other side.

I did the opening prayer and we continued with our session.

After about five minutes Liz began to speak...

'I have the words of the mother... dressed in the grey of service. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. This is the true message for every mother for every mother brings forth a child of God. Every mother has a holy and divine mission and role in bringing forth and upbringing the child, the baby. The babe in the cradle is the image, the icon of the whole of the last 2000 years and yet the holiness of the child and the holiness of that mission has not been at the forefront of human psychology. The very special relationship between the mother and the child and the very special service as a mother in raising that child to become an adult has been underestimated, undervalued, the naturalness of that bond has often been broken. Society has favoured paternity, society has regarded children as the property of the father, of the state, of the nation, fodder for the war effort, for industry, wealth making for the rich. The babe in the cradle has not been seen as the wonderful opportunity to bring forth the Christ, the love, the fulfilment of the human destiny and that is the true role of every child that is born and the most important mentor in that process is the mother. There must be a new teaching, a new way of understanding this and the education of mothers and in the education of children. So there shall be no more... in sorrow shall ye bring forth children, that's not right, that has been the experience for many and that is not the way. Enjoy and with the protection of the universe you shall bring forth the holy child, the child of the universe. Let the mother's role be sanctified'

'I have the father's role... the father's role is to support the love of the mother and the child. The father's role is to facilitate the mentoring and the growth of the child with the mother. To make safe the birth, to provide the cradle, to enfold with love, a devotional work of raising the child to become a full and loving adult. I gave my love a cherry that has no stone, I gave my love a baby with no crying'

'I believe that I am speaking from the flames... Ladybird ladybird fly away home, your house is on fire the children are burnt, in the flames of Grenfell Tower. Those in positions of patriarchy, of support, have failed in their care to nurture and support all and every family and child no matter their income race or creed. They allowed our children to die in a fire that could have been avoided had they given proper protection, had they prioritised that the families, the holiest of holies, that families and children are worthy of protection. That thinking has not been in the forefront of the leaders of many. It is left for the mothers, the lost opportunity, the human life is difficult to achieve and grow to fulfilment is their opportunity. Sad... but the errors in thinking for the deficit of love, the failure of care... We ask for healing for the Grenfell mothers and their children, and for the fathers... Thank you'

'I have an Alicia... She's taking me into a room full of books on shelves and taking out a book about bush babies, large eyes. She loves animals, she's rejoicing in the nurturing of all small things, animals, creatures. See her in a forest. She's reminding us all of love for all creatures, love in many forms, wherever you shall love, nurturing the creatures of the Earth, it's a service and a natural function for a human being to love and support, a joy and fulfilment with loving even the small animals that one can have a relationship. The mother's love can come out in the nurturing of small animals, that is also a holy task. I see her as a young woman devoted to animals, she just wants to remind us that that is also a very high form of service and a holy mission. Those that support and nurture throughout the world are working with love and fulfilling a holy mission, the service and care of others is always a holy mission. The care and support of all life on Earth, and of all the Earth the rocks and the stones and the waters and the very soil of the Earth is a holy mission. Wherever you shall love and care and nurture and respect that is your true function and the true holy mission of the human being on Earth. Those who love objects of art, literature, buildings, constructs and put those above the care and love of human beings and other living creatures are in error. All those artifices, all those constructs are designed to support and to nurture the living things and the Earth and should not be worshipped and their love should not be put before the living beings of the Earth and remember that the very rocks and stones, the water the sand the dust the soil is your due concern, what you build out of these things are your artifices, your artefacts in the support of the Earth and the living creatures of the Earth. They are not to be loved and worshipped above the Earth and the living creatures of the Earth. The Earth and the living creatures of the Earth are your due concern and your due function of support. Build only to support, create art only to support those we love'

'We've heard the weeping and complaints of the mothers, we have heard the gnashing of teeth and the lamentations for centuries, and you haven't learnt the lessons. Now is the time for change, now is the time to truly learn to change the priorities. Now is the time to open your hearts and hear the lamentations and let your heart break but only the broken heart can truly heal and renew itself. We ask for healing for your hearts so that no more shall you hear the lamentations of the mothers and the cries of the children and the beating of the breasts of the fathers, and the Earth sighing and heaving and the oceans troubled and poisoned. We ask you to open your hearts and to heal the role of the mothers'

After a couple of minutes Liz felt back with it.
She felt there had been several different people with her trying to get a message through, they were getting closer.

I'd got an image of a spider or stick insect when the talk was about animals.

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

159th Sitting 06/02/2018


As an experiment this week we decided to sit as a traditional physical circle.

We put a trumpet with luminosity around the large end on the table and moved the dome to another table.

We used the Mercury Light music CD as it has more upbeat singalong songs on it.

I did the opening prayer at 7.35pm, turned out the light and put the music on...

After about three minutes it sounded like Patrick was being controlled and he started making a few vocal noises.
Then after a pause some Oriental sounding words...

'Her key ana chicana hoya hiya cotana hey...'

Me... 'Welcome friend'

'Greetings, greetings, love to you both'

Me... 'And to you'

'We are happy, very pleased to be here. Lady you quite right, very difficult with medium when anxiety is present, however all hearts here are good therefore there is no need for anxiety and we are here to protect and to help and to advise when it is possible. Now you are sitting for the physical phenomena, this of course may be a lonely road for a while, you understand we have to work with the energies of the medium and with your energies to blend all together and it is true this medium can work with the new energy and this we prefer, also he prefer because of no danger and also he not like the ectoplasm very much, you understand yes please. So, we will try to work with this new energy and I will not be participating so much in this regard. I am here simply to help the medium maintain an equilibrium, a level of peacefulness so that the work can proceed. There are those here that work with the scientific mind and with the scientific knowledge and it is to them that we cooperate yes, you understand all is good?'

Liz/Me... 'Yes, we understand'

'Good so we will do our best. Now I shall retire and allow peace once more to descend upon this circle'

Liz/Me... 'Okay, thank you'

AUDIO CLIP 1

We all felt warm but with cold lower legs.
Liz saw a blob of light and a few sparkles to her right.
Patrick was making a few lip-smacking noises.

Liz and Patrick were seeing lots of sparkles all around the room.
The atmosphere seemed charged to me.
We all thought the room looked quite animated.

Patrick had a trickily feeling around his forehead.

Liz was seeing milky white blobs moving around to her right.

Patrick started making more vocal/choking noises again and then...

'Her kay yah...'

Liz/me... 'Hello'

'Greetings'

Liz/me... 'Greetings'

'Come again, we try work with this one here, ha, some blockage you know, so we try remove'

Me... 'Okay'

'That is why you hear these noises, it is not to worry, do not be concerned, all will be well'

Me... 'That's alright, we've heard those sort of noises before, we're quite familiar with them'

'God bless you both, thank you, I go'

Me... 'Okay, goodbye'

AUDIO CLIP 2

Liz thought the room felt much denser just before the communication had come through, a thickening of the energy.
I thought it looked darker.
Liz agreed and felt it was a heavy energy.
Patrick thought it looked darker and felt cooler. His legs were very cold.
I thought the luminosity of the trumpet looked brighter against the darker background.

After about five minutes the room looked lighter to me as if the energy had smoothed out.
Liz agreed.

Liz experienced an interesting sensation. She could see the energy of the room become convoluted, swirling, patterned like an interference pattern.
This happened seconds before Patrick was controlled again and started making more vocal/choking noises.
Then still under control Patrick said...

'That's very good, very good... that is indicative, that is indeed very indicative'

AUDIO CLIP 3

Liz saw a pattern like mackerel clouds in the sky.
She felt a gentle energy.
Something was tickling her nose.

I felt myself being controlled for about ten minutes but there was no attempt at communication.

Liz felt someone with her, she felt a cool pressure like a cold cloak, doves feathers, quite gentle.
She felt like she was going down a long narrow passage.

Liz felt the energy of her friend Grey Wolf leading her through the labyrinth.

A tap/click came out on the recording but none of us heard it at the time.

AUDIO CLIP 4

Patrick felt trickles down the side of his face.

Liz was hot.

Liz had someone with her again, they were talking to her saying...

'The energy of the water rising out of the Earth, deep in the labyrinths. It's clearing the Earth energy. There's a great rejoicing, the waters are rising. This water is the water of regeneration, cleansing, purification...'

Patrick was feeling lots of breezes and cold around his head.

Liz saw a flash above the trumpet.

I felt a cool breeze blowing into my face.
It happened twice and felt just like a physical breeze, not just a coolness that I normally experience.

The music CD finished.

Liz was still in an altered state, she couldn't move.
She had a lovely energy with her, it felt like Grey Wolf again. He was planting words in her mind like a prayer...

'He'd been with us humans for aeons, watching and monitoring us and now is the time. The Earth is like a cradle for us, it's our mother, our nurturer. The high mountains and the deep valleys are a cradle enfolding, cradling the human. The Earth is for us. This entity was deep in the Earth and was working to bring the waters up, cleansing and refurbishing it, a protection, a reassurance. Water rising, a great fountain out of the Earth...'

Patrick had been aware of a lot of spirits that had visited us including a short haired brown dog.

When everyone felt back with it I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...

158th Sitting 30/01/2018


We now had the round top on the table. I put the glass dome in the centre, with the two crystals and two ping pong balls around that.
Patrick had brought along an ironiser which we left running in the room after I put some black tape over the green light.

I turned out the light, put the music on at 7.35pm and we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise...

Liz found herself walking down a wide roadway with lights along it like Chinese lanterns towards a large bridge over a river. She walked over the bridge as spirit people passed her, some she recognised but she was drawn towards a golden figure and felt it was like Jesus, a great presence. As she came up to him she got a high five and felt power in his hands...

Patrick did a visualisation to link us all up in the light...

I found myself on Eastbourne beach again and the sea was a long way out. I walked over sand to get to it and then a wooden bridge came out of the sand stretching out over the sea. Two more bridges also appeared either side of it and I decided to go over the middle one. About half way across I found a stool so sat down and waited for anyone to appear. I saw lots of lights over the other side and then a hooded lady with a long white trailing cape came towards me, the cape was like a white mist behind her. She held out her hands and I held them and felt a strong energy as the two worlds became one...

I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on as we continued our session...

Patrick had a sudden cold feeling on his left leg from the knee to the ankle which lasted a few seconds.

Liz was cold around her knees and ankles.

I felt a cool breeze going across my lower legs from right to left.

Liz got the feeling of somebody with her. She recognised her as Eve, first with a bird, then her birthday and then a strong emotional response which made her feel she was really there.
Liz was talking to her in her mind and asked what it was like for her where she was now.

Liz felt something stroking her finger.

Liz got the feeling Eve was standing in an archway in a garden with an olive tree. It looked a bit like an animated birthday card with birds and plants popping up all around. It was a magical scene and Eve looked much younger.

Liz got the impression of an elastic band being stretched.

I got a fuzzy/vibrating feeling on my right hand.
Then I felt it under my left foot and then my right leg below the knee.

Liz felt she was in an enchanted forest with nature spirits and fairies.
She was shown twin babies in cradles.

Liz got the name Keith or Kenneth. She saw him wearing a sports jacket and tie, a tan colour jacket, red tie, white shirt, smoking a pipe with a moustache. She thought he may be an actor, she saw him as a clergyman, then a clown, then wearing a top hat, it kept changing.

I suggested it might be Kenneth Williams but Liz wasn't so sure. He had a mad hatter feeling about him.

Liz got the feeling of someone bowling or batting a ball, playing a game, a partnership, playing ball, reciprocity, passing the ball, keeping the ball rolling, not dropping it. She got the feeling this person dropped out of the game, was just content to watch. She got the name Derek and the feeling of frustration with the rules of the game, keeping it going for a certain period of time then the rules become boring, wanting to kick the wicket, wanting to observe it rather than get caught up in it.

Patrick made a noise as if someone wanted to speak.

I welcomed the communicator saying they were welcome to come through if they wished.

Patrick made a few gulping noises from his throat.

Liz got the words 'They hang me out to dry'

She got Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

The music CD finished.

It was now looking lighter in the room to me.

Liz got the name Violet.

She got Douglas... brushing away cobwebs, it was someone she knew, he was a sculptor, he died of motor neurone disease but he was in trainers now, in a gym. Liz asked him why he needed to do that as she knew he could fly, he had been flying with her in a dream before she knew he had died. He said he still needs the illusion of a physical body and it was good to be able to move around. Then he was in a garden with hedges and was shaping the hedges into sculptural shapes. Liz saw a little girl with dark hair with him and he said she was connected with Liz.

There were some more vocal noises from Patrick as if his throat was being worked on.
He had felt various physical sensations, palpitations and a fluttery solar plexus. He had felt pressure around his throat. At times he had been cold and then very hot. He had a slight pain in his solar plexus.

Liz got Silver, then a high five.

We thanked our friends for coming.

Then I did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise...
