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.
The lovely Sarah Norris visited us in Chawton last night. What a lovely evening of high energy, inspired thoughts and messages. Thank you so much Sarah! Alison Keogh chaired the evening.
I thought I had witnessed a June bug when I caught an iridescent metallic flash of emerald green on my windowsill, but June bugs do not live in the UK, do they? However, a smaller imposter does, and this smaller, stunning flying beetle turned out to be none other than the Rose Chafer.
Gardeners are probably well aware of the chewing habits and destruction caused by this little critter, for he can demolish a flower, eating the fleshy parts of petals and leaves. His favourite snack is likely the dog rose, whose nectar and pollen he very much enjoys. He is very visible now and will remain so throughout the summertime, sometimes staying around till October here in the UK.
This stunning flying beetle carries wonderful symbolism for many people, representing inner alchemy, transformation, and the journey from humble beginnings to something radiant and beautiful. His stunning metallic green colour flashing in the sunlight, can feel like the arrival of a spirit messenger, encouraging awareness.
Those wishing to protect their roses may find some success with planting marigolds and lavender which help deter the beetles, while fine mesh provides a more reliable barrier. Otherwise, they will simply do what rose chafers do best, feast upon the blooms that attract them.
A beautiful garden visitor, a living jewel flashing in the summer sunlight, the Rose Chafer remains one of the most beautiful and memorable beetles seen during a UK summer
After a more gentle late spring/early summer day yesterday, we gathered in Chawton and were so pleased to welcome Sarah Norris to us again. Sarah’s energy just invigorated the room and she brought a beautiful inspired address and such lovely messages. Thank you so much Sarah. We really had such a lovely time. Alison Keogh chaired the evening. Thank you.
Thanks to our readers and prayer people for lifting the room with your words and energy. Thank you Carole for your cake and thank you all those who helped with the hospitality for the evening. Thank you to Lisa running our music, and setup and breakdown has become a fine art, and we also thank our healers for their dedication after the service. A lovely evening!
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Please pray for our supposed enemies in this world. They need the prayers and healing. Whether on the global stage, or in our own lives, those who cause dissention and hurt to people or animals or lack of respect for any of creation need the prayers and healing badly.
If you have an interest in the spirit world, mediumship and spiritual understanding, there have been some fascinating recent blogs shared by Rob Harvey exploring some of the questions people ask most often.
Why I Don’t Recommend Visiting Haunted Houses
Haunted houses often spark curiosity, but are they really harmless places to explore? In this blog, Rob explains why seeking out haunted locations may not always be wise. Drawing on decades of experience moving on spirits and helping people, Rob shares why many so-called hauntings involve confused souls and why spiritual protection matters.
Understanding Evil Spirits and Spiritual Protection
Do evil spirits really exist, and if they do, how can we protect ourselves? Rob explores one of the most misunderstood areas of spiritualism, explaining why many spirits are not “evil” in the way people imagine, but simply troubled souls who have not moved on. He also shares practical thoughts on faith, prayer and staying spiritually protected.
Trance mediumship can sound mysterious — and for some, even unsettling. But is it something to fear? In this blog, Rob shares his personal experience of over five decades working with trance mediumship and explains what really takes place within a protected spiritual circle, while addressing one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding it.
Whether you are curious about the spirit world, want to better understand mediumship, or are simply looking for a fresh spiritual perspective, these blogs offer thoughtful and practical insights from decades of real experience.
We gathered on Zoom last night for our mid week gathering. Thank you everyone What lovely readings and prayers to finish off a very sizzling hot day!! Healing followed as per the usual.
Please continue to pray for Africa and everything she is facing and now with Ebola on the rise.
