Guiding a Lost Spirit: Finding Peace Beyond the Physical World – A piece from Rob Harvey
As a medium, I’m often contacted by people who believe they’ve encountered a spirit. Not long ago, I received a message from someone shaken by a tragic event at their workplace — a piece of machinery had fallen, leading to a fatal accident. Weeks later, they believed they saw the man who had passed, standing near the very spot where it happened.
Wanting to help, I asked for a photo of the area. When I received it, I immediately sensed an unusual energy. I took some quiet time in my teaching room to meditate and connect more deeply. As I focused, I began to feel the presence of the young man’s family members in spirit form surrounding me. Slowly, it became clear that he was confused — he hadn’t yet realized that he had died.
At first, he resisted their attempts to reach him. Accepting their presence would mean acknowledging his own passing. But then, something beautiful happened — children from the spirit world came forward. Their pure, loving energy helped soothe him, breaking through his fear and confusion. I’ve often found that the presence of children can bring remarkable peace to lost souls; their innocence has a way of healing emotional turmoil.
Once the young man was calm, I invited his loved ones to come closer. He began to recognize them, and they gently showed him the light and beauty that awaited him. Before moving on fully, he reached out with gratitude, a sign that he was finally ready to transition peacefully to the other side.
This experience reminded me that many spirits who linger are not malevolent — they’re simply lost or unaware of their passing. They often need a compassionate bridge between the physical and spiritual realms to help them understand and move forward.
Through patience, empathy, and love, we can help these souls find peace and continue their journey beyond this world.

The lovely Haylie Fox was with us last night in Chawton. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much, Haylie!! Alison Keogh chaired the evening.
As the rain pours down and the grey skies creep in, nature counteracts the dim skies with the leaves coming into their own right now. Who needs flowers at this time of the year? The leaves are truly starting their own festival of colours.
The silver birch is especially striking. This ‘Lady of the Woods’ is a graceful and elegant sighting in our woodlands. Her triangular shaped leaves turn to a signature yellow gold, and with her silvery white bark she inspires so many faux decorations.
She is a healing lady also, known for her anti-inflammatory, cleansing, and diuretic attributes. The Native Americans used her bark for wound healing, and also as a painkiller, very similar to willow, which they also used and was marketed, with additions, as aspirin.
Her symbolism is one of protection as well as fertility, and in days long ago birch twigs were given to lovers as some form of encouragement!!. Most importantly in many different ancient cultures, she was known as a clear connection between the physical and the spiritual realms.
Well, that is what we are about every time we gather. Last night we welcomed the lovely Haylie Fox to Chawton. Haylie gave us her beautiful energy and such an inspired address, and then went on to bring our lovely messages. Thank you so much, Haylie. We loved having you! Alison Keogh chaired our evening.
We say thanks to the family for their beautiful readings and prayers. Thank you to Sue for the hospitality, Carole for the cake, and Lisa for running our music. We thank our wonderful Healers on hand afterwards and everyone who sets up, breaks down, and washes up each and every week!!
Prayer of the week
Please pray for a wave of radical prayer in this world, so that we do not just hope when we ask, but believe with our whole being that what we ask spiritually for others as well as ourselves, has already been received. Jesus said it first. May this give us a radical faith and knowing that we can share with others.
Calendar up soon.
So what if it rains…Look at those colours!
Have a beautiful week!
Thank you to all those who gathered on Zoom last night for the mid-week gathering. What beautiful prayers, readings, and music to soothe our souls. Healing followed after.
Please continue to pray for those ‘caught up’ in natural disasters.
We also keep our hearts on Gaza and Israel so that things move forward smoothly.
Haylie Fox is with us on Sunday in Chawton!!
Come and join us!
