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. Whether you are looking for comfort, guidance, inspiration or simply wish to explore the teachings of Christianity more deeply, it provides an easy and accessible way to spend time with the Bible from wherever you are.
We have also included a link to Christian Spiritualism, a website dedicated to exploring the connection between Christianity and spiritualism. (This will include the archives of THE ZODIAC MESSAGES ) The site shares information on spiritual healing, mediumship, churches, events and spiritual philosophy, helping visitors better understand how faith, healing and communication with the spirit world have been approached within Christian Spiritualism for many years.
Well, the temperatures are certainly changing, with a chill in the air early in the morning and again in the early evening. The darker evenings have already crept in, and I see the ‘Big Birds’ are arriving again at the bird table after not being seen for dust during the summer! The usual suspects are Mr wood pigeon, the magpies and the jackdaws, all making their presence known once more.
I have also been shooing a few scuttling hedgehogs out of the residential roads. And boy can they run fast for such prickly little hogs! They are busy getting themselves ready for The Big Sleep. All this whilst those leaves are turning from green ever so slowly, so it looks as though the autumn colours will arrive in earnest a little later this year.
On a clear, crisp night, without a cloud in sight, the constellations stand out as clearly as can be against the nights sky. It has, of course, become time for hot drinks, soup and comfort, and I am certainly not complaining!
All seasons have their own unique magic, and this autumnal time is no exception.
We had a busy weekend, as Saturday evening, Rob gave a talk in Chawton on Ghosts and Spirit Attachments and then took many questions. It was a very good night!
Gillian Blaise came to visit Sunday night in Chawton. The energy was just beautiful as Gillian shared such lovely thoughts and brought some truly beautiful messages. Thank you so much!! The calm, cool and collected Chris Shore kept us in order as our chair. Thank you Chris.
Always thanks due to the family for their readings and prayers. Chris had also made cake which was enjoyed by all. Healing followed the service. Thank you. Thanks to all, as always, for set up and break down of our gathering!
We gathered Wednesday evening again, to take that pause in the middle of the week. Thank you, everyone, for the thoughts and prayers. Healing continued afterwards
Please continue to pray for the animals of this world.
The lovely Sarah Dorgan chaired for Rob Harvey last night as he shared information with a demonstration on just how close spirit can get during healing. We had a lovely evening! Thank you both.
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.
We had another lovely evening last Wednesday on Zoom. Just lovely thoughts and prayers were shared. Thank you, everyone. The Healing followed as usual.
Please continue to pray for the children of this world in such difficult situations around this world.
Rob is bringing us a talk on Spirit getting really close during healing, with a demonstration, tomorrow in Chawton.
