If you are new to healing, spiritual development or exploring faith alongside spirituality, there are some wonderful resources available online that can help you learn more in your own time and at your own pace.

Bible Gateway is a well-known online Bible resource where you can read, search and study scripture in a wide range of translations.

We have also included a link to Christian Spiritualism, a website dedicated to exploring the connection between Christianity and spiritualism.

I never cease to be amazed by the number and kinds of different berries within our woodlands. The birds are certainly doing well, what with our bird tables and so much variety in the natural world.

The Guelder Rose berries are a bright, bright red and almost look like shiny sweets hanging on those branches. I didn’t actually know what they were. They are also called European cranberries and can be used in jams and preserves after being cooked, although they are slightly toxic when too much is eaten raw.

Described as a native UK superfruit, she likes damp woodlands and old hedgerows. The clusters of white flowers she produces in May and June to lure pollinators are long gone, and now her berries provide sustenance not only for birds but smaller woodland mammals too.

As we progress through the Autumn season, those leaves will turn a vivid red. She is also considered healing, and her bark has traditionally been used to ease all kinds of muscle cramps. Her presence in a woodland can also denote an ancient site where there has been tree cover for a very long time.

She is a national symbol in Ukraine, representing fertility and protection, and across Slavic traditions she has a strong spiritual significance. Here at home in the UK, her spiritual significance is linked to protection from malevolence.

Beware if you are feeling ambitious with her preparation, though. Before cooking, those crushed berries smell like nothing short of stinky socks! You have been warned!

We had our In-House Evening last night, led by Rob Harvey, who spoke about just how close spirit can get. He also gave a demonstration with the healers to show how close spirit can get during healing, with feedback from both healers and healees. Thank you, Rob. It was very insightful!

We also acknowledged World Animal Day, or the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, and it was the traditional day for our Harvest Festival. Lovely Sarah Dorgan was in the Chair this week and kept us in line. Thank you both!!

Thanks to our family for the beautiful readings and prayers also. We thank our hospitality, Sue, and our music team, Julie and Lisa. We thank our healers and all those who work away to set up the evening and put everything away afterwards.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please pray for the animals of this world. Their burden is great in so many ways, and some more than others. May we open our hearts to the plight of these others on this planet.

The darkness is creeping into our mornings and evenings, but with a good cup of coffee, we can still seize the day.

Have a beautiful week!

Exploring Mediumship, Spirit & Spiritual Development

There is always more for us to learn about the spirit world. Questions about mediumship, those who have passed over and our own spiritual abilities are some of the subjects we regularly explore.

Rob Harvey has recently shared several articles looking at these topics from his own experiences as a lifelong medium and through his work at the church. Below, we have brought together three of his latest articles for anyone who would like to explore these subjects further.

Can Your Loved Ones Speak Through Trance Mediumship?

Can somebody you love who has passed over actually speak to you through a trance medium?

Trance mediumship involves someone from the spirit world drawing extremely close to a medium in order to communicate through them. Rob explains that this is quite different from ordinary clairvoyance and, in his experience, isn’t something we should expect a particular loved one to be able to do on demand.

However, after a lifetime involved with mediumship, Rob is also reluctant to put absolute limits on what may be possible. Most importantly, he believes our loved ones do not need trance mediumship in order to remain close to us. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Understanding the Different Types of Spirit Attachments

The term spirit attachment can sound frightening, but Rob believes it is important to understand that not every experience is the same.

Drawing upon cases he has encountered, Rob discusses what he believes can range from confused or wandering souls to more negative spiritual influences. He also explains that sometimes a presence somebody fears is an unwanted attachment may, in his interpretation, actually be a loved one trying to make themselves known.

The article also explores why Rob believes spiritual development should be approached carefully, with proper guidance and discernment, rather than fear. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Can Anyone Become a Medium?

Do you have to be born a medium, or can mediumship be developed?

Rob’s view is that we all have some potential for spiritual development, although people’s natural abilities can vary considerably. For some, this may develop into clairvoyance; for others, their path may be spiritual healing or simply a greater awareness of the spiritual world.

At the church, Rob has seen people arrive believing they could never become a medium, only to discover abilities through sitting in circle, learning and developing over time. He explains why an open mind, humility and a genuine desire to help others are more important than wanting to be seen as particularly gifted. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Whether you are already involved in mediumship, have experienced something you don’t fully understand, or are simply curious about life after death, these articles offer an opportunity to explore Rob’s experiences and beliefs in greater depth.

Above all, a theme that runs through all three is that there is still much we don’t understand. For Rob, spiritual development is not about ego or having all the answers, but about continuing to learn, approaching these subjects with humility and remembering the importance of love.
