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...

217th Sitting 06/02/2020


We had the room setup as usual.

The Magnetometer was on but we didn’t use the Mind Mirror EEG.

I did the opening prayer at 7.40pm, turned out the light and put the music on.

We started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise them continued on into the session...

Liz had the sensation of a hand pressing down on her head just after the opening prayer, like a contact sign.

After about 25 minutes Liz began to talk...

‘It’s like I'm staring at a great Ford motor car with its front grille and its headlights. Someone's getting out with a cap on, looks dark, like a Jamaican... keep getting JR, that was part of the number of one of my dad’s cars... I get the feeling of Peter Benton, my Auntie Rennie’s ex-husband, he played in a jazz group... it’s the jewels I'm seeing, Peter Benton had a jewellery shop, I'm seeing those green emeralds, oh yes, I have the rings from Maurine and Auntie Rennie. That's where they developed their particular love of gems and gold. I'm just looking at these beautiful stones but there is some meaning in them, the colours, the way they refract, reflect the light, they act as prisms, diamonds especially. But for some the stones, the gems do have a vibrational quality that can uplift, can resonate with that emotional body, the joyful aspect of working with gems. The same gems you can see in nature, the berries and blossoms and the fruits, these are all gems of the Earth. Every fruit and blossom has its own vibrational energy, the same with perfumes, these all resonate with the emotional body in different ways to create the euphoria. These things bring joy to the heart but whereas the berries and blossoms fade and fall the gems and jewels last and endure, it’s their longevity, it’s their endurance, the permanence that gives them that special value. Perfumes fade but the jewels last, that’s why they say diamonds are forever, that is their real value, the quality of endurance, of everlasting. And here we have them still, quintessential quintessences of frozen distillations, essences, they act as reminders, magnets. When there is confusion and blurriness of feelings and senses and mental images, the clear and crystalline quality of these distilled essences can bring you back, can focus you, can transfix you, can give you that stability, that steadfastness and essence to hold onto. Potiphar, the story of Joseph, Joseph and the multicoloured dream coat, the rainbow colours. When your aura shines brightly and is clear, when you have that inner healing and cleansing your colours are bright like the gems. It's good to picture the clarity of that light, the light of those gems, to help to recover the clarity and balance, the transparency, translucence in your emotional body. And so, colour healing is an art form, the use of colour, different vibrations of light to heal the various layers of the physical being have different vibrational qualities, different emotional attributes. Shades of emotion are connected with different physical centres and in the cleansing of these anatomical centres the emotional tones are restored and in restoring the emotion tones those physical anatomical centres may also be healed. Part of the healing of the damaged or miss-formed parts, of the distorted anatomical areas involves purifying the emotional qualities associated with those areas and that’s where the fragrances of the different gems, the different fruits of the Earth, the different chemical composites can help to retune. We use the jewellery, precious stones like a piano tuner uses his tuning fork to help with the mechanical tuning so the instrument then plays perfectly. Any pattern of music will then sound pure and perfect but when the instrument is poorly tuned, the most perfect pattern will sound discordant and tiny. So, use your colour healing, your stones, your jewels as part of your preparations for better atunement, to be perfect mediums. Wash yourself down in the precious gems of the Earth, in the rubies, the sapphires, the emeralds, the citrine, the topaz, the jet. These will help, thank you Peter, I can see the musicians playing and my Auntie is in that emerald green dress with her lovely red hair. Maurine is wearing sapphire blue with her lovely red hair and they’ve come in the car and they’re dancing with the band now...’

Liz asked me to turn up the music.

After about 10 minutes Liz reported feeling stuff being pulled from her right ear, it felt like a cold liquid.

Liz continued...

‘I’ve got this feeling of a group of friends acting like pastry cooks, cooking something. They're having a great time, like Mr Pastry, all fun’

‘There was a lot of people around earlier and they were crowding in as I was tuning in, I asked them to come in one at I time because it was too confusing, that’s when the car turned up’

‘Got the name Violet just come through... feels like somebody’s pulling my hair’

‘I have a feeling they’re really getting down to work, there’s a good gang and we’re in for a bit of a bumpy ride but it’s very progressive, experimental but we’re getting somewhere’

‘Got a feeling of newspapers... the communications keep turning out the news... keep it up... it’s good to broadcast even the little items... I associate the newspapers with my dad, I see them on big machines, turning round and round and the pages coming off the turnstile. But it a collaborative effort, there’s a great team behind that final printout that you get. There’s a whole lot of work that goes into it, organisation, it’s a massive enterprise made up of many people, nothing happens in isolation but it’s a group enterprise and you have to bring all the elements together under one roof to simplify it, to make it more economical. In any energetic process, for it to be successful you have to have economy of expenditure and action has to be perfected to achieve the end product so it arrives in the right place at the right time and this is logistics. On both sides the teams have to be ready, night shift and the day shift. It's not all hard work, there’s fun that goes into the process, camaraderie...’

‘I keep getting reminded of a blue and white jug or teapot, I think it was connected with Inger... and gorse bushes, I haven’t a clue what that means... coconut smell... the gorse bushes you get at Ashdown Forest... I'm seeing mushrooms and toadstools, the fly agaric red spotted toadstools and the flower fairies’

‘I’m sensing Ginny... This Ginny is just telling me what a joy it is to be reborn, she watches over the children and she loves the energy of children and working with them in nature. And she’s cleaning up the bed, turning over a new leaf, new energy, new enterprise, wants to be involved. She's got all of her energy back, all of her get up and go which had got up and gone. She's fully charged now and delighting in the opportunities to work with children again in the forest, in the woods. She keeps showing me a picture of herself turning a duvet cover inside out, making the bed, she’s making a fresh start. That's what dying's all about, a fresh start. Sometimes things get run down in life, get stuck, you run out of steam, disaster strikes and you’re laid up. Difficult to get back up afterwards, you dwindle, unsatisfactory, make the best of a bad job but dying is like a new lease of life, a new start, a whole new opportunity, starting over again with a clean slate and then the things you really love, they shine out, and then you can go for them like the bright apples, the shiny, the sweet ones, they're the ones you choose, you don’t bother with the shrivelled ones, the green ones, the sour ones, you go for the sweet desert apples. Well you’ve got your fill of them up here. Well when I say up here, ha, this is the same place, just better, more rarefied, things just flow more easily, lighter, you haven’t got that sense of gravity, weight, no it’s lighter, a lot more buzz, I've got the old vibrancy back and it’s as if time doesn’t matter anymore. You don’t get that sense of having to stop, having deadlines, it’s all good, wonderful, breath of fresh air. I thought I’d just drop in and let you know I'm enjoying... will enjoy hanging around with you... again God bless, goodnight all...’

Me... ‘Goodnight’

‘Seeing a great shaggy sheepdog... I think the dog is connected with farmer Dick, the horse and cart... and he’s just there to say cheers... the outdoor connection, the good work, work of service. Farmer Dick was a farrier, he did try, he helped, Ginny did too, but he had a raw deal and Ginny did too but they’ve come through and he’s got a new start, he’s still full of life, yes thriving, and he’s just raising a glass to life, but it does continue beyond death and all the good you do you carry with you, all mistakes just fall away, all the dross. So that’s worth knowing, the good you do remains, it goes with you, just hold onto that... thank you both for coming, a reminder of good times’

Me... ‘Thank you’

‘And to Auntie Rennie, Maurine and Peter... and Inger and Kate... and Graham, there’s a gang of them... God bless you all thank you’

Liz was back with it and we recalled our Rainbow Bridge Exercises...

Liz saw Inger and Kate dancing, it was like a Mad Hatter’s tea party, that’s where the blue and white tea pot came in. And they were saying, we’re here, you don’t have to go over a Rainbow Bridge and so Liz just enjoyed being with them, and the zaniness of it, like being in Alice in Wonderland The strong feeling was, there isn’t anywhere to go to, you don’t have to reach out, they were right here in the room with us...

I started off on a roller-coaster, sitting at the front with someone I didn’t know and didn’t know those behind me either. We were slowly going up a steep slope then went whizzing down the other side through tight bends and up and down when suddenly we were shooting upwards away from the ground up into the sky. The roller-coaster had disappeared and we found ourselves sitting on clouds. I looked up and saw pin pricks of light, they were getting bigger and heading for us. We each had one land on our lap, the size of a football and as I looked into mine, I saw parts of my life being replayed like a life review and we all came to the conclusion we must have died in a crash on the roller-coaster. As I looked into this ball, I saw times when I had missed opportunities or when I could have made a better choice. The ball spoke to me saying I could go back and start a new life if I wanted or I could just stay on this cloud for a while which may become a bit boring. If I went back, I would have opportunities to make better choices but I would lose the memory of this lifetime. I asked how I would know how to make better choices if I had no memory of my past life and the ball told me a part of me would know and would be motivating, and nudging me as is the way with all who come back to this physical life...

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