I spied the most stunning Wood Pigeon today at the bird feeder, and then he was gone. Most of these visitors can barely take flight, after guzzling at the feeding station. They are very common in our woodlands, especially here in the south east of the UK, and they are much larger than their city cousins.

They nest in the trees or sometimes hedges and lay precisely two eggs and feed their young ones pigeon milk which they produce from their oesophagus which contains a lot of the protein and fat needed for their young. They can live for about six years, although one has been reported as living for seventeen! Their spiritual symbolism is one of peace and divine guidance.

There was plenty of that last night in Chawton as we reconvened for out New Year. We had not one, but three mediums last night, bringing the messages and explaining how they were perceiving that information. They brought many lovely helpful messages between them. Thank you Rob, Sarah and Virginia!! Thank you also to Chris Shore who stepped in to chair beautifully, as always at the last minute.

We heard beautiful prayers and readings and sang some lovely hymns, followed of course by cake and more cake. Carole did not disappoint and was actually presented with a bouquet that she wasn’t able to receive at Christmas. Thank you for the music also.

Thank you to healers carrying on the work, and all those who set up and break down each week.

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for the people and animals of Southern California as they continue to battle and recover from the extreme devastation of these wildfires.

Calendar up next..

It is chilly, and still icy out there…Go very easy.. !!

We are back and gathered for the first zoom service last evening. A lovely evening of readings and prayers. Such a lovely online community to gather together at the mid week point.

Healing as always followed.

Not one but three mediums Sunday !! What are they sensing? How are they sensing? We will get insight on how they ‘see’ as they bring us the messages.

Join us!!

Some need help from a friend to move on.

I have spoken many times about ghosts in houses and how I help move them on and I’m sure I will be doing it a lot more but occasionally it seems that those who pass need help to move on. what I mean by this is when you die you leave your body but you don’t necessarily automatically move on to the next world you will be going to. I’ve come across several cases recently where the spirit after they have died is hanging around almost waiting for permission or advice from someone to move on.

The recent cases I’ve done there are actually asking or wanting to ask someone they love or a friend if they should take that next step. there are millions of souls who are between the Worlds for one to the better way of putting it who are simply Souls who have left the body but not moved on to the next world. there can be many reasons for this they can simply be confused Souls or they don’t want to leave their loved ones.

Last week a young lady who I know very well called me because she was concerned that she felt a spirit in her house. the way I started to help her is the same when I move a spirit or ghost from a house the first thing I need is pictures of every room and the house to see if I can sense something. let me explain that sensing is something after a lifetime of working as a medium that does speed up so things can happen quite quickly and nowadays sensing something there seems to be a link quite quickly.

Once I had seen the pictures it becoming quite clear that there was a young Soul in this house someone who wanted to move on but he was hesitating about it. I could sense straight away and I have come across this before he wanted to ask someone what they thought he should do and once again with this soul it was someone he knew. quite quickly this soul was sensing me and this is what happens all the time because those who have left the body are not normally sensed by anybody with who has a physical body. so to begin with that’s what takes place and they are almost shocked that someone is sensing them but in this case I am a hundred percent sure this was organized,

With most cases that I come across it is very clear that those on the other side in spirit have already organised the connections that take place which is what happened with this one. I could sense a young man there who was slightly in distress but he kind of wanted reassurance and when I spoke on the phone to this young lady and to her boyfriend they put themselves on speaker. I could sense this young man knew her boyfriend in the house and I knew that he had died very quickly and then it became clear with the communication of talking to them and what I was sensing that this young man had died very suddenly. Her boyfriend new who it was with the evidence I gave him.

I could sense with this young man he was asking his best friend who was this lady’s boyfriend on the phone whether he should take the next step which may seem a very odd situation but I come across this many times now where they just want someone to say yes it’s okay to move on. so I asked this girl’s boyfriend over the phone in his mind to say to this person who wanted reassurance, who was asking is this okay. I asked him to say his mind yes it is fine move on. The moment he did that I could sense this young man who unfortunately had committed suicide move on straight away because a friend of his still here in the physical body had said yes it’s okay to move on so he moved on I saw him disappear and moved to the next world.

As you can imagine this was a bit of a shock to the couple that I was talking to on the phone but when I contacted them later that day the feelings that they had in that house had all disappeared. You can imagine this was very strange for them but it’s also quite logical that someone who’s caught Between the Two Worlds if only they can get a message or make contact with one of their best friends when they were in the physical body that is what makes all the difference. I am simply the last link in the chain, this girl sensing him and her boyfriend they were there sensing something but no idea what to do about it but I have a sure it was all arranged beforehand that they called me because I can sense these things and he moves on.

There is so much that we do not understand  but regularly with myself this is what is taking place and all that matters is the people who had a feeling a spirit in their house are relieved because that spirit has moved on and even more relieved knowing that a friend of theirs or a loved one of theirs has come to them and they have said move on to me this is the most beautiful situation and it seems to be happening with myself more and more and it is my privilege to help.

We stepped into winter on the shortest day and longest night, otherwise known as Yule on the 21st December. The temps are definitely dropping now, even as we saw some pristine blue skies. The days will get slightly longer from here on out, but we are probably in for some chilly days yet to say the least.

We gathered yesterday evening in Chawton for what was our final Divine Service of 2024. It was a beautiful family night of carols, beautiful readings and prayers, with baked goods coffee, tea and then healing.

This year has been spectacular! So many in our church family have stepped up to help with everything. From hospitality to running the music. From set up and break down crew to all the readers each week. The healers, the house mediums, social media, the finances, the cards being sent out and membership. Forgive if I have left anyone out.

We must say thank you with deep gratitude for our visiting mediums. We love having you so much, and are so happy that you serve us.

We must also say a huge thank you to our fearless leader and President Rob Harvey, who does so much as we continue to break down barriers and push the envelope in working with Spirit.

Prayer during our break.

Please pray for Peace in our world!

All that remains to be said is that whatever is going on in your life, that is amidst the sickness, the worry over finances, the loneliness, the loss, the disappointments of life, we remind you that Christmas will come to you in many different seasons throughout your life, but through it all, you are loved beyond measure. Apart from your loved ones, so many in spirit know you, champion you, and try to help.. This is Truth. Slow down. Listen. The promise of the boy child our Jesus, is alive and well.

From All of us at Alton Christian Spiritualist Church we wish you a very Merry Christmas, and Peaceful blessings for the coming New Year!
