We had another Thursday afternoon Zoom meetup.
Liz was wired to the Mind Mirror EEG.
Liz did an opening prayer.
This week we did it the other way round so I sat first.
After about two minutes felt myself being controlled and the communication started...
‘It is always a great opportunity for us and for you to blend with that what you feel is beyond your touch and yet we form a part of you. You as a singularity are connected to so much more. There is nothing that you cannot reach, only your own beliefs hold you back. Begin each day with a clean sheet of paper, imagine that what you plan to do throughout that day, imagine writing on that piece of paper that what you see ahead of you throughout that day. Ask yourself what more can I do, how can I achieve that what I have planned in a more positive way, a more loving way, in a way that will raise the vibration of your world, of yourself, of all those who you will meet for you are each day playing your part in raising the vibration of human existence. You all are playing that part. Once you understand that that is what you are doing you will begin to develop a daily thought. At the beginning of each day, you will recognise the opportunities ahead of you, see in those opportunities more opportunities for growth, for development, for raising that vibration. There will be situations beyond your control, situations that are not within that plan and yet they too bring with them opportunities. You are learning and you are teaching. Those around you can feel the positivity in your thoughts. They are affected by you and you are affected by them but your choice is to be affected in a positive or negative way. Keep your mind in a positive frame and you achieve so much more. You will be that positive spark that creates more positivity throughout your world. You think of yourself as one small individual human being in a vast world and yet if you could see the connections, if you could feel the thoughts that are picked up by those who share your world, you will see that every thought you have has its impact on your world’
‘It is easy to see situations as being negative, it is difficult to see the positivity, and yet as you concentrate on finding that positivity in the gravest of situations you will develop within yourself a greater ability to see the positivity in all things’
‘A simple smile is a useful tool in the spreading of positivity. When you see someone smile you see the true person within trying to get out, trying to reach you, trying to touch you. You all share that urge to make life better and yet the easy option of taking the negative route is always there to tempt. Be strong, be positive and see the fruits of your endeavours grow, see them blossom, see them develop in those who you meet. Life can be so simple when viewed with positive eyes. The negativities of your world are always there and will always confuse you. Simplify your life with a smile and slowly you will see how simple life can be... Thank you’
I felt back with it after about 30 seconds then Liz tuned in to see what she could get...
‘I think I've got your gran, your mother’s mother... hair curlers... making brandy snaps, she liked doing things in the kitchen, making sweet things, things that would tickle your palate, that was her way of showing how welcome you were’
Good description of my mum’s mum.
‘A goldfish bowl, pond dipping’
As a boy I used to go pond dipping in Bexhill park and caught a few minnows which I put in a fish bowl.
‘She’s feeling a little bit shy, wants to straighten her dress. I feel she fussed over things, wasn’t secure in her image of herself, fussed over her appearance and presenting herself right. She’s holding my hands saying it’s alright I just have to say these things’
That sounds like her.
‘Spring bulbs, planting... fennel, root vegetable... She wasn’t very good with identity, self-identity, didn’t really know who she was... the image of the glass half full or half empty... her life was confined by domesticity so didn’t have a chance to find herself, there was an artist inside her, she would have liked to paint, to draw plants’
She was a very domestic person.
‘She liked what was said earlier as she did have appreciation for the little things in life, the simple pleasures. She spent a lot of time with napkins and teacloths and ironing but neglected to find out who she really was. She was a positive person, a lot of love there but she over fussed and didn’t quite let it flow out freely, she got side tracked with appearances, image, presenting herself in a certain way. She would have liked to be more cuddles and fun but her way of showing it was to keep things neat and tidy and to make nice cakes’
This also sounds like her, simple pleasures, always ironing, napkins on the table, house always neat and tidy and she did make nice cakes.
‘Grandad her husband was the larger character, she just felt like the housekeeper, the little woman. She was unable to show her real self but she’s finding that now, she’s able to flower now, there isn’t the need to preserve appearances, there aren’t any appearances to preserve. It's like she was a blank canvas, she hadn’t allowed that canvas to be filled. She’s talking about love, the expression of love’
Yes, grandad was the larger character always clowning around whereas she was more serious and quieter.
‘She’s giving me the image of salt and pepper. I guess the significance of salt and pepper is you use it to give the food more flavour, to bring out more flavour. They're the little enrichments in your life that can help you to bring out your inner gifts, the real person inside you, the full flavour of yourself. I think that’s what she wants to say to you, the spice, the condiments, adding those little things to your life helps to bring out the flavour. That's why she liked making sweet cakes, she used the sugar, the sweetness to give that extra sweetening, that was her way. Flapjacks, gingerbread men’
This is interesting as the image of salt and pepper that she gave Liz brings back a memory to me of when she used to cook dinners for somebody who then smothered them in salt and pepper. This used to annoy her having spent a lot of time cooking the dinner as she felt it had ruined the flavour. Whereas Liz has put her own interpretation on the salt and pepper as giving the food more flavour which is just the opposite. This shows the importance of just giving what you get and not putting your own interpretation to it.
‘I’m smelling stewed fruit cooking, stewing apples’
She made nice apple pies with little chimneys in the middle letting the aroma out.
‘She’s giving me a feeling that she was in hospital. It was like a wakeup call, a positive experience. She was out of the home and venerable and people were still kind to her, looking after her, still acknowledged her as a person, she didn’t have her hair permed or any appearance to keep up. It was a sense of relief, she was surprised. She was in a ward at some point but might have been in a room of her own, no sure what she’s showing me’
I don’t recall her being in hospital but she did end her days in a care home and I think this may be what she is trying to get through.
‘A sense of breathing, oxygen... she had an operation’
I don’t recall this.
‘It was nice to have someone else cooking for her... there was a problem with food’
I don’t know about a problem with food.
‘I’m not getting a bad feeling about being in hospital for some reason, she felt cared for, let off the hook. She's watching herself in the bed, it’s like she walked away, she left that person there, a sense of kindness stayed with her, people helped her to walk away. She was surprised that it didn’t seem to matter, that she didn’t feel bad’
She had dementia in the care home and quite possibly left her body which seems to be what is described here.
‘She’s giving me the feeling that she left your grandfather, I don’t know if I've got this correctly. I can almost see him at the bed with her but it’s like she’s walking away. It's like when she went, she went of her own free will. I can’t really tell but I feel she died before him and that he was still there but I have that brown feeling next to her bed of somebody there’
Grandad died first but when in her dementia state she could have seen him at her bedside.
‘She’s giving me an image associated with her, of an elderly lady who had cataracts and had a rather difficult relationship with her son-in-law, she’s reminding me of the grandma in the Royle Family TV show. She's giving me the feeling of angels, an angelic feeling and a connection with chrysanthemums’
Not sure who this elderly lady is? My mum loved chrysanthemums and maybe she did too.
‘She had an intestinal problem at the end’
I don’t know about this.
‘All she wants to do is send lots of love. It's like she’s trying to help me to receive what she wants to say but I don’t know if I've given her information correctly but there’s a level... almost like images of the snow in The Snow Queen, like in Walt Disney films, all the fairy tales of angels and Christmas wonders. I think she’s just trying to give me the feeling she’s in a wonderland now, it’s what she’s stepped into, like the Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, a whole new experiential realm. It's hard for her to describe the peace and happiness and wonderment’
‘She’s taking me back to the hospital, she was able to just float away but at the end she wasn’t quite there, she’d already gone. She saw herself and she saw people there and she was surprised that she didn’t feel guilty at leaving but she didn’t and it was just such an easy experience’
This again I think is the care home and her ability to leave her body due to the dementia.
‘Something about food at the hospital, she appreciated being cooked for and what was there but she couldn’t eat, she had a problem with her digestive system at that point. I saw the fennel earlier; fennel is very good for digestion’
Again, not sure about her health or what caused her to die.
‘I’ll say thank you very much, thank you for being there... It felt like she was holding my hands and saying be patient, not to try and say things, it was me that was getting in the way, but she just wants to convey to you this strong feeling of peace and love, it’s like it’s been liberated, something inside her that she couldn’t feel completely because she was too concerned with the outside appearances but now it’s like that’s all come to the forefront and it’s like being a piece of satin or silver, just clear water, and it’s just all the love, the peace and the good feeling and she just wants a metaphorical hug for you. A lot of kindness there, a lot of sweetness. I’m getting the feeling your grandad is there, behind her, letting her have her say’
‘She’s giving me the image of an old black and white checked coat, a woollen winter coat, tweed, something she wore, she’s wrapping it around herself... and the image again of rust-coloured chrysanthemums, golden russet coloured, large bunches, in connection with the funeral’
Liz thanked her for coming and sent her love.
Liz then sent out healing and our closing down exercise.
Afterwards I sent Liz this photo and she confirmed the coat was how she saw it although she had seen the black and white pattern larger and more pronounced. When she enlarged the image, she could see it the same but a smaller tweed pattern...
