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...

219th Sitting 15/10/2020


Liz has been doing a few Zoom clairvoyant readings with friends recently and was inspired to try one with me as we can’t meet at the moment.


We sat on Thursday afternoon, Liz was at her house and me at mine.

Liz had wired herself up to the Mind Mirror EEG.


Liz did an opening prayer then gave me a reading.


This is what came through plus my notes that I did afterwards...



‘Green fingers, gardening. Elderly man, spectacles. Not your dad. Round face, small, thin dark hair smoothed back. Loved gardening. Sweet man. Wore waistcoat when working. 1950s.Grandfather’


Yes, this is a good description of my grandfather, he was very much into gardening, he was elderly when I knew him, wore spectacles for reading, I remember he used to let me try them on. He had a round face and was quite short, his hair was grey when I knew him but dark and smoothed back in the 50s. He was a sweet kind man, was always helping others. I don’t know what he wore at work but he drove lorries.


‘Greenhouse, garden fork, robin. Liked sherry. Office job. Gardening wasn’t his work. Like reading newspaper. Scrambled egg on toast, beans, simple food, simple lifestyle’


Yes he had a greenhouse, there was sherry in the house, may have had an office job but I only know about the lorry driving. Gardening wasn’t his work but he did work as head gardener at a school in his retirement. He did read the newspaper and didn’t have much money so ate simple food and had a simple lifestyle.


‘Lady with him. Whitish grey hair, a bit bigger than him, younger, wraparound flowery apron, did a lot of dusting, polishing, a real house keeper. Dog, white dog and basket. Mop, mopping. Spring cleaning. Grandparents on mother’s side’


His wife had whitish grey hair, may have been slightly taller than him, younger and yes did a lot of housework. They didn’t have a dog. And yes, they were my grandparents on mother’s side. 


‘Black lace up shoes, old fashioned, plain, well worn. Wore them for work not in the garden. He wore a tie at work. He drove a car, early Ford car, black, number plate JR..... Tin cans behind it like for a wedding’


Not sure about the shoes and tie, he did drive an early Ford Popular but not black and not sure about the tin cans.


‘Lady was sweet, drinking sweet tea, syrup. She had a passion for keeping things clean and tidy, knives and forks, old but all in their right place’


Yes, she was a sweet lady and was always cleaning and would have had old knives and forks and looked after them as money was tight.


‘They are showing me a pedal car... maybe that was the time they knew you when you were a little boy and you were when they died. Noddy and Big Ears... maybe a reference to you and your brother’


Yes I had a pedal car and Noddy books, I was a teenager when they died.


‘A connection of grandad and the church, he was religious or had a spiritual side. He wants to write something down. An important memory connected with the church and writing things down’


I recently found some old letters written by grandad’s brother to him from Canada in 1929 and the letterhead is ‘Young Men’s Christian Association’  


‘Candles... he’s saying don’t blow the candles out, they are alight and someone’s blowing them out, feel like crying’


Not sure about that.


‘Grandmother isn’t interested in this, she doesn’t want to know but he’s very sensitive, sensitive to me and my needs, offering me an aniseed ball. He was more nurturing that grandma, she was more concerned with keeping the place beautiful and polished. He enjoyed the children’


Yes, this is true.


‘He's very spiritual and reminds me of a Sunday school teacher, old fashioned but a sweet man. He didn’t have much insight into the afterlife or spirit world but he had a big heart, has a lot of love for you’


Yes, he had a big heart.


‘He's very pleased you've got Sarah and that she’s doing so much gardening, that’s a good balance for you’


This makes sense.


‘Getting the name Sheila. Something wrapped in brown paper, parcels, laundry’


Not sure about the brown paper but Sheila is my mum.


‘Horses, horse hooves over turf. A horse like a cart horse, big hooves, brownish and white, wants to rub its nose against you, wants sugar, its grinning. Saying something about marmalade, a very thankful horse, a bit shaggy, it’s lovely, a beefy horse, used to have saddles on it but not anymore, enjoying not having saddles and being able to gallop around, freedom, dandy lions around it, bags of oats’


This describes the sort of horses we’ve recently seen on our walks.


‘Image of Tinkerbell, fairy in Peter Pan, hovering over the horse, tapping it with her wand. Peter... Peter and Paul. Blackbirds. School caps and something that feels like charcoal, use for drawing, thick pieces’


This is interesting as I went to St Peter and St Paul’s school in Bexhill.


‘A lady in the background, her name begins with V, Vera or Vivian, somebody younger, with a piano, wearing a yellowish summer dress, 50s hairdo, charming lady, theory books, piano teacher, school teacher. Organised concerts, stage, she accompanied people, a connection via your father’


I can’t think who this could be but it’s interesting that Liz thought it may be my mum as it confirms she didn’t know her name was Sheila.


‘Roger’


Can’t place Roger either.


‘Dad is here but not coming forward, he’s pumping up something, a tyre, working quite hard on it’


This could be referring to pumping up balloons which dad did a lot for his magic shows.


‘Blue dungarees, boiler suite, daisies. Sun, moon and stars, sky diving. Dad a connection with linoleum, black and white squares’


Dad spent a lot of time kneeling down on linoleum repairing washing machines, he often said that was why he lost the use of his knees.


‘Pin cushion, sewing’


‘With dad I’m feeling a contrast between the plain floor and work with this more ethereal quality, more grandiose visionary quality... holding that tension between the imagination and the down to earth practical, subtle balance, easy for pins to prick that more aerial visionary’


‘He’s giving me milk bottles, an image of wanting to nourish you, he wants to help you, what you are doing, he’s seen the value of it and knows how easy it is to prick that spiritual impulse, that visionary impulse that you have, he expressed it on stage but you have it deep inside you. The fear of exposing it to the wrong people, you can feel the pin cushion, all these pins that will take the air out of that wonderful feeling of lightness and inspiration. He's showing me these milk bottles because he really wants to help you with that now. Maybe he feels that he didn’t always support that. He was not against it, he wouldn’t put you down but the wrong comment could easily deflate your enthusiasm. He doesn’t want to do that now and he really wants you to know that he’s with you every step of the way now, he really gets it. I really feel he’s engineered this meeting but he’s a bit shy of presenting himself to you. I think he will. I think there’s something there, that he feels he let you down a little bit but I don’t know what it is and that’s why he’s shy. He keeps saying walk, walk, walk. Like he wants to walk off, to keep walking, there’s something he needs to sort out, he’s wringing his hands, there’s something he’s finding difficult to say, I get the image of treacle, it’s sticky he’s saying, it’s made his heart feel a bit sticky, but there’s such a lot of love for you there and I think that’s why your grandad came forward because he was more openly warm and more able to express. Dad is sorting it out and wants you to know he’s with you with this mediumship stuff and wanted us to get together again, you’re not going to be a great pianist but you’re going to be a great medium and he wants to help you to make it, he’s working on it...’


This sums up dad’s character very well.


We had a chat about what had come through and then I tried to get some clairvoyance for Liz.


I got the words attic and Brian but then felt as if I was being controlled for trance.


Liz suggested I go with it and do whatever comes...


‘There’s no difference, all communication is from the one source. As it unfolds it will direct the instrument to bring that communication through in a way that is suited to them. We are able to bring forward evidential aspects in our communication but we have set up an arrangement, we have developed an arrangement that allows spiritual advice and guidance to be transmitted. At the same time there are always those that you understand to be in the spirit world; their memories, their characters, their stories are saved, are all... they all make up what you understand as the spirit world and from that world their stories can be told. Their stories have evolved since their passing and just like you they can remember, and they can make decisions, they can make choices, they are alive, they are a part of life. The physical world holds you still, it can take away your freedom but you too can blossom, your memories make you what you are but beneath that, within that is the power to grow, to become more, to become a part of an evolving consciousness which is life’


‘David, David is bringing his love. The bells are ringing, sit back and enjoy the music. Watch each page develop into a new story. Like a piece of music, it begins with a note and to that note you add more until a tune is sung, is played, is lived. A composition starts with a word and a tune begins with a note. You are developing your abilities and you are writing yourself a story, adding characters as they come to you and as each character shines, they also fade away for they are making their own stories and will live out those stories’


Liz found what came through interesting and she has a deep connection with a David.


We closed the session, thanked our friends and sent out healing to the world. 


We decided to make this a regular thing.
