If you haven’t had a chance to keep up with my latest blogs, here are three recent posts exploring some of the more difficult and often misunderstood areas of the spirit world.

From fears surrounding curses and black magic to understanding why some spirits remain close to the Earth plane, these blogs are based on my own experiences during a lifetime of mediumship.

Here is what you may have missed.

Evil Spirits, Black Magic and Curses: Who Really Has Power Over Your Life?

People regularly contact me convinced that they have been cursed, that somebody has used black magic against them, or that an evil spirit has gained control over their life.

Fear can be incredibly powerful. Once somebody believes that something has power over them, every problem or piece of bad luck can begin to feel like further proof.

In this blog, I look at curses, evil spirits and negative influences from a different perspective, and explain why we shouldn’t allow fear to hand over control of our lives.

Why Some Spirits Don’t Move On – It’s Not Always What You Think

Why would somebody remain close to the Earth plane after they have died?

There isn’t one simple answer.

Over the years, I have encountered many spirits who haven’t moved on, and their reasons can be very different. Some may be confused, while others remain connected to people, places or experiences from their physical lives.

It is also important to remember that sensing a spirit doesn’t automatically mean you are dealing with something evil.

In this blog, I explore why some spirits remain behind and why understanding what is actually happening is so important.

When an Unseen Spirit Is Tormenting the Mind: A Real Case From My Work as a Medium

Some of the most difficult cases I encounter involve people who feel that something they cannot see is affecting their thoughts and their everyday lives.

In this blog, I share a real case from my work as a medium involving somebody who believed they were being tormented by an unseen spiritual presence.

It provides an insight into how I approach these situations, what I believe can be taking place spiritually, and why every case needs to be considered individually rather than immediately jumping to conclusions.

More From Rob Harvey

These three blogs cover very different situations, but there is a common theme running through all of them: don’t allow fear to take control.

Whether we’re talking about curses, spirits that haven’t moved on or something that appears to be influencing a person’s mind, it is important to understand what is actually happening rather than immediately assuming the worst.

After a lifetime involved in mediumship, I am still learning. Every situation is different, and sometimes the things I encounter challenge what I previously thought was possible.

There is definitely a shift and ‘a change a-comin’.’

The blasting heat has turned to a cool breeze and quite a chill early morning. There has been some gentle misty rain during this past week which has thankfully been absorbed into the thirsty ground. And now, with some of the ferns already turning to their rusty colours, dare I say we are beginning to see shades of the coming Autumn.

The reason for our seasons is primarily the tilt of the Earth on its axis as it travels around the Sun. This tilt gives us our changing seasons, longer, warmer days when our part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, and shorter, colder days when it is tilted away.

And we are feeling that shift.

My walk today held a fresh breeze, sunlight strobing through the silhouettes of branches, a lost cyclist, endless dogs, and an absolutely beautiful tuxedo cat.

Yes, this handsome boy was sitting right in the middle of my pathway. He let me know, in no uncertain terms, that to pet him was a privilege denied to many. But thankfully, he allowed me the honour, and I was on my way.

And as I turned for home at the end of my walk across the heath, I was finally treated to the beauty of heather already in full bloom.

A feast not just for the eyes, but for the heart and soul. And that has been our entire weekend. A feast for the heart and soul. Saturday was our Coffee Morning, and we were busy! What a beautiful morning of readings, healings, cakes galore, and just good peeps getting together.

Thank you to our visiting mediums Helen Atkins, Gillian Blaise, Eve Cowell and Rachael Setford Berry. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

We thank our House Mediums. We thank our healers, and also our wonderful hospitality team. So much is coordinated by so many, and it is not an easy task.

Thank you, Everyone! An amazing morning.

But we did not put our feet up for long! Sunday brought the lovely Debbie Reeves, who visited with Bill. Debbie was our medium and shared truly inspired thoughts and brought wonderful messages for us.

Oh, we loved having you! Thank you, Debbie. Our own Chris Shore chaired the proceedings beautifully. Thank you, Chris.

And, as always, thank you to the family for their readings, prayers, hospitality, healing, and for all the setting up and breaking down that happens each and every week.

Prayer of the Week

Please pray for Mother Earth. Oh goodness, she goes through it. She bears the brunt of so much. She is our physical home for this time, and we must take care of her.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week, everyone, as we gently march towards the end of our summertime.

And still no rain.

This is quite unbelievable, and now we are beginning to suffer some of the same ills as countries we have watched for years, beset by early drought and wildfires, which seem to be coming closer and closer to home.

The impact of no rain really has an effect when you start to notice what is happening in the natural world. I have had a beautiful Kingfisher at my bird table, shy but determined, which I have never encountered before. Perhaps the pickings are becoming much slimmer along the small river behind me.

As the beautiful green fields of rural UK start to look more like hayfields, we have to hope that everyone is being responsible, for dry brush can ignite in an instant, and embers can carry for miles. The balance of sun and rain is the balance of life in a physical world, along with fresh air to breathe and firm terrain beneath our feet.

The sun’s fierce rays may have given us the season we have long hoped for, but we are well due for a massive thunderstorm to clear the air and water the thirsty earth once more.

So, sun worshippers, enjoy, but for those who know a rain prayer/ dance or two, sooner would definitely be better than later!

We enjoyed a lovely evening last night as our good friend Sarah Norris came to visit. Sarah’s passion and enthusiasm filled the room as she shared inspired thoughts and brought us some lovely messages. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Our wonderful Sarah Dorgan chaired the evening beautifully. Thank you, Sarah two!

We thank our readers and prayer people. We thank Sue and Carole, and the cake, for their hospitality. We thank Julie for running our music. And all set up and breakdown is done is very smooth fashion. And of course we thank our healers standing by week after week to assist when neccesary. Thank you All.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please, in light of these temperatures and the fire outbreaks, pray for those in harm’s way of fire everywhere. All life suffers.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week.

Start dancing!

If you’ve missed some of my recent blogs, here’s a chance to catch up on three of the latest articles from Rob Harvey: Life After Death. Each one explores a different aspect of mediumship, the spirit world and the experiences I’ve had helping people over the years.

Whether you’re curious about life after death, spirit attachment or the realities of removing wandering spirits, I hope you’ll find these articles both thought-provoking and reassuring.

My Biggest Concern as a Medium

One of the questions I receive most often is whether it’s safe to explore the spirit world. While mediumship can be a wonderful and uplifting experience, there is one issue that concerns me more than anything else.

In this blog, I explain why I believe so many people unknowingly open themselves up to wandering spirits, how spirit attachment can occur, and why proper guidance and protection are so important when developing spiritually.

My Biggest Concern as a Medium

Why I Continue Removing Ghosts and Evil Spirits Despite the Risks

For many years I’ve helped people who have found themselves affected by wandering spirits and unwanted spiritual attachments. It isn’t always easy work, and it certainly isn’t without its challenges.

In this article, I share why I continue doing this work, the responsibility that comes with helping both the living and those in the spirit world, and why seeing someone finally find peace makes it all worthwhile.

Why I Continue Removing Ghosts and Evil Spirits – Despite the Risks

What Really Happens When We Die?

Perhaps the question I’m asked more than any other is, “What happens when we die?”

Drawing on nearly 50 years as a medium, I share my understanding of what takes place when we leave this life, how loved ones help prepare us for our transition, and why there is no single experience that is exactly the same for everyone.

If you’re looking for reassurance about life after death, this is a wonderful place to start.

What Really Happens When We Die?

Thank You for Reading

Thank you to everyone who continues to read, watch and support my work. I hope these articles help answer some of your questions about the spirit world and bring comfort to those searching for a deeper understanding of life after death.

If you enjoy these blogs, keep checking back as I’ll continue sharing more real-life experiences, spiritual insights and answers to the questions I’m asked most often.

Every week I share thoughts and experiences from over 50 years of working as a medium, answering many of the questions people ask about life after death, spiritual development and our purpose here on Earth.

If you’ve missed some of the recent blogs, here’s a quick look at the latest three articles.

What Is the Purpose of Life?

One of the biggest questions humanity has ever asked is, “Why are we here?”

In this blog, I explore why I believe our life on Earth is just one stage of a much longer journey. Through my work helping spirits move on and teaching mediumship, I’ve witnessed countless examples that reinforce the idea that life continues beyond physical death.

Rather than seeing life as something to simply get through, we can begin to understand it as a school—a place where we learn, grow and develop spiritually. Every challenge, every joy and every relationship has a purpose in helping us become who we are meant to be.

The Purpose of Life

The Secret to Spiritual Progress: Help Others First

Many people spend years searching for spiritual growth, wondering how they can become more connected with the spirit world.

The answer may be much simpler than you think.

In this article, I explain why genuine spiritual progress doesn’t begin with seeking special abilities or extraordinary experiences. Instead, it begins with service. When we focus on helping other people, we naturally become more compassionate, less self-centred and more aligned with the qualities that allow us to develop spiritually.

It’s a lesson I’ve seen repeated countless times throughout my years of teaching and working as a medium.

The Secret to Spiritual Progress: Help Others First

Understanding Free Will: Why the Choices We Make Matter

If our loved ones in spirit still exist, why don’t they simply tell us exactly what to do?

This is one of the questions I hear most often.

In this blog, I explain the importance of free will and why those in the spirit world cannot live our lives for us. They can offer love, encouragement and reassurance, but the decisions remain ours to make.

Our choices shape who we become, and it is through making those decisions ourselves that we continue to learn and evolve.

Understanding free will helps explain not only how mediumship works, but also why personal responsibility is such an important part of our spiritual journey.

Understanding Free Will: Why the Choices We Make Matter

Continue Your Spiritual Journey

Whether you’re exploring the purpose of life, looking to deepen your spiritual understanding, or simply curious about what happens after we die, I hope these articles give you something to reflect on.

Each blog explores a different part of our spiritual journey, but together they reveal a simple message: we are here to learn, to grow, to help one another and to make the most of the choices we are given.

If you enjoy these articles, keep checking back as new blogs are added regularly.

The upside of having a wild, out-of-control garden is that it becomes an adventure. That’s my excuse! Most years I am fighting with the ivy, but this year a more unassuming little wildflower has become the bane of the back garden. Masquerading as Herb Robert of the same family, and growing right alongside it no less, while somehow managing to seed itself inside the pots of my lovely golden cypress and seemingly causing their demise in record time, is Rock Cranesbill. Named aparently because of the shape of her seed capsules.

With her pretty innocent pink blooms, red stems, and aromatic citrus scent, she seems to have taken over this year… or perhaps she was simply biding her time. The pollinators absolutely adore her. So many are coming and going between the delicate flowers.

Rock Cranesbill belongs to the geranium family and is native to the Balkans and the south-eastern Alps. She is hardy and has been in England since the 16th century. It is unclear who introduced her, but she arrived unofficially during a time when botanists and explorers were bringing many new plants into the country.

Her symbolism is that of resilience, purity, loyalty, and spiritual endurance. She also possesses healing properties as an astringent and anti-inflammatory.

No Mow May is still in effect, although I think it may be best to get organised before the month is out, before this innocent but hardy wildflower takes over completely!

We certainly needed to stay organised on Saturday as we kicked off our Bank Holiday weekend with our Spring/Summer Coffee Morning. A great deal of coordination was needed as we welcomed four visiting mediums alongside our House Mediums and Healers. Thank you to everyone who helped keep everything running smoothly, no easy task. Many thanks to our visiting mediums: Lesley Knight, Sarah McLaughlan, Debbie Reeves, and Rachel Setford Berry. You brought such wonderful messages. Thank you! Our House Mediums were busy throughout, as were our Healers. Thank you all.

Thank you also to Carole and Sue for your hospitality and the cakes! There was plenty of chatting and wonderful high energy on a glorious sunny morning.

On Sunday we welcomed our friend, Jim Demitri, and once again we shared a lovely gathering filled with laughter. Thank you so much, Jim, for your beautiful messages. We look forward to seeing you again later in the year.

Chris Shore chaired our evening beautifully. Our family gave beautiful readings and prayers, and we still had delicious baked goods left to enjoy afterwards while our Healers stood by to help. Thank you all.

Prayer of the Week

Please pray for Africa. She is facing hurdles in every direction with conflict, drought and extreme weather, starvation,along with social and political unrest. May there be a way forward of plenty, stability and Peace.

Calendar will be up later.

Have a beautiful week. Hydrate! It is going to be very warm for the UK.

No complaining!

One small creature that probably survives the winter well is the wood mouse, also known as the field mouse. Unlike the dormouse, he is not usually found inside our homes unless he is desperate for food and shelter in the colder months. Instead, he prefers sheds or the endless tunnels he creates, where he stores food to sustain him through the harsh winter months.

With his large eyes, big ears, and soft light-brown fur, he has that appealing, almost Disney-like look we associate with many cartoon characters. At this time of year, he becomes especially active, with the approaching breeding season, which can last until autumn! And there is a flurry of activity as nests are built and food is gathered.

He is nocturnal, an excellent climber, and a fast mover. However, despite his speed, he is vulnerable, for owls and foxes see him as a substantial snack. Spiritually, the wood mouse symbolises resourcefulness, humility, attention to detail, and the ability to find magic in the mundane, truly wonderful qualities indeed.

We gathered on Sunday evening, over the bank holiday weekend in Chawton and shared a lovely evening of prayers, readings, and hymns, some well-known and perhaps one less familiar, though we made a valiant effort!

Our own Steve Lidgett Williams chaired the evening beautifully for Rob Harvey, who led an ‘Evening of Clairvoyance.’ Rob gave an address concerning recent healing and clairvoyant work he had undertaken. He then invited a couple of the house mediums, along with two fledglings, to come forward, and together, they brought the messages while explaining what they were perceiving, helping everyone gain a clearer understanding of how clairvoyance works.

The mediums and fledglings taking part were Nerina Dannatt, Steve Lidgett Williams, Rob Harvey, Chris Elliott, and Alison Keogh. It was a truly lovely evening, spent with our church family, who also gave prayers and readings. Thank you, everyone!

Thank you, Sue and Carole, thank you for your wonderful hospitality and another divine cake creation. Julie, thank you for the music. And many thanks to our healers and trainees for offering healing after the service. Thank you also to those who helped with the set-up, break-down of the evening, and the washing up.

Prayer of the Week

Please keep in your prayers children who may be unwell or in hospital. Illness can be frightening for a child, and it is also a deeply distressing time for their parents and families.

Calendar to follow shortly.

Wishing you all a beautiful week!

Happy May!!

The catkins have arrived, now we are truly in springtime. The Goat Willow, or Pussy Willow as it is so lovingly called, is a welcome arrival for early pollinators. Those soft, silver catkins protect the delicate flowers within from the chilly days until the sun warms their world. Native to the UK and Europe, with relatives in the Americas, this tree offers a quiet beauty.

Willow has long been associated with healing. Its active component, salicin, an active ingredient of aspirin, has been used for centuries as a natural pain reliever. Native Americans understood its healing ability, using willow in their daily lives for ailments and pain control.

The catkins themselves resemble tiny kitten paws, and a Polish legend tells of a mother cat, distraught because her kittens fell into a fast-flowing river while chasing butterflies. It was the willow branches, bending low over the water, that gave the little ones something to cling to, saving their lives.

The willow is a symbol of renewal, resilience, and adaptability, and even weather magic, as twigs thrown into the wind are supposed to calm storms. Perhaps someone was working that magic, as yesterday gave us a truly glorious spring day, with no rainstorms in sight, and we came to church in high spirits.

Although Louise Barnes was unable to join us, her cohort, Jenny Hedley from Reading, offered truly beautiful, inspired prayers and thoughts. Thank you, Jenny. Your words were truly lovely. The evening was chaired by our own Alison Keogh.

Our family, as always, shared heartfelt readings, followed by beautiful messages from our house mediums with two of the fledglings. Thank you to Nerina Dannat, Virginia Gordon, Julie Shearman Searle, and Aimee Andrews. It was a lovely evening, complete with another beautiful cake from Carole, warm conversation, and healing on offer from healers and trainees

Thank you also to our music team, Julie and Lisa, and to everyone who helps set up, break down, and take care of the washing up.

Prayer of the Week

Please send a prayer up for unity in our world. Its lack is the cause of so much division, not only on the world stage but within our communities and homes. May we learn to see others as ourselves, beyond differences of culture, politics, or belief. Anything less is sheer spiritual ignorance.

The calendar will be up tomorrow.

Wishing you a beautiful week!

We gathered yesterday evening on Zoom, after a glorious, beautiful day full of the joys of spring. We love to see each other mid-week and share the lovely prayers, readings, and music. The healing followed. Thank you, everyone!

Please continue to pray for compassion in this world, and the hope that we can all look at each other with kinder eyes.

Lesley Knight is with us on Sunday, in Chawton!
