A heartfelt testimonial from Pali

Rob regularly receives messages from people who have found comfort and reassurance through his work in helping to remove what they experience as nuisance spirit attachments. With Pali’s permission, he wanted to share her words below.

Hi Rob,

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me when I was at such a low point.

I truly believe my mum, dad, husband and sister in the spirit world guided me to you. I had been struggling for a long time, feeling scared, emotional and overwhelmed. I had reached out to so many people and spent so much money desperately looking for help, only to be disappointed. Being so vulnerable they took advantage of this. 

After asking my spirit team to guide me to the right person to help me, you appeared on my TikTok the very next day. I immediately felt that I was meant to find you.

What you told me after seeing my pictures resonated with me so deeply. When you spoke about my sister and the memory of us dancing together, it touched me in a way I can’t explain — especially because I have a photo on my phone of us dancing together.

You gave me something I desperately needed: hope, comfort and reassurance. You encouraged me to trust my spirit team and allow the love of my family to come closer.

It’s only been a few days, but I genuinely feel so much lighter, more positive and full of energy. I feel blessed and hopeful about moving forward.

After my past experiences with people who took so much money from me, your kindness and genuine willingness to help meant more than you know. I would encourage anyone who is struggling or searching for answers to reach out to you, and to be very careful of people who take advantage of vulnerable people.

Thank you, Rob, for your time, compassion and kindness. I will never forget the comfort and hope you have given me.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️

With heartfelt thanks,
Pali

Well, the rain dancing worked!

We have been treated to everything from short, sharp bursts of rain to long, thunderous showers. I think I can even feel the relief of my garden fauna as, finally, they get hydrated with water from above rather than my dirty dishwater!

The back and forth of sunshine-filled days and cooler, Autumn-like mornings is now quite obvious, and these rains have brought out snails in mass abundance, almost like an end-of-summer party. Glad of the rainwater to clean off their dry shells, they are now able to travel along smoother, wetter paths, seeking out food and breeding opportunities. They can lay their eggs in the moist soil and fill up on sustenance before the cooler seasons begin in earnest.

The humble garden snail. What a fascinating creature.

These little molluscs are hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs, quite an evolutionary leap! When two snails mate, both may go on to lay eggs!

We have so many jokes about their speed: snail mail, moving at a snail’s pace. And yet, in their world, it simply works!

They carry their heavy shells wherever they go, providing protection for their soft bodies, and that ‘delightful’ tell-tale silvery slime they leave behind serves many purposes. It helps them move, retain moisture and navigate their little world, but producing it comes with a high energy cost.

And so, as you return home on a wetter day, tread carefully along your path. Somewhere beneath your feet, a humble little snail is probably travelling from A to B, and it may take a while…He/she is in no rush. And perhaps, as we watch these creatures move through our damp gardens, we might take a moment to slow down ourselves. What a thought! We protest and insist that the world calls us here and there.. but may we remember, whatever we are travelling to…Home has always been right where we are, at this moment.

And I am sure The Family felt ‘home’ as usual last night in Chawton. Unfortunately Vanessa Smallwood was unable to be with us, but our own Steve answered the phone on a Sunday, and so he was the appointed one!

Steve did such a great job bringing a lovely address about St Francis of Assisi. I think we all learnt a few things, and we know our family is packed with animal lovers, and then Steve went on to bring many messages. Thanks so much Steve for giving us such a good night. Our evening was chaired by Alison. Thank you.

There were beautiful prayers and readings from the family. Cake with cherries. Thank you Carole! We are indeed spoilt. And then good conversation, washing it all down with not just tea and coffee, but with healing to give us a good night’s sleep. Thank you also Julie for running our music. Thank you all for the set up and breakdown of the evening.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please pray for Nepal and the horrific flooding. So much devastation and loss of not just human life, but animal life also. Please let us pray that aid can increase, and that healing is in sight.

Have a beautiful week! More sun is scheduled apparently, but we know that Autumn is now just around the corner…

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!

It is good fortune indeed to be able to walk through nature and encounter our own private canvas in every way. Not only through the visuals, but through the scents, the sounds, and the ‘feels’ of the flora and fauna.

It has been so for people throughout the ages. It is, quite simply, just what the doctor ordered, a tonic for the soul.

The shift in perspective that nature offers has so often brought humankind’s sometimes crazed lives back into balance with gentleness. It is no wonder that some who scoff at a spiritual life can still embrace nature instead. Perhaps it is because, without all the distractions, the demands of ego, hidden agendas, endless to-do lists, and relentless deadlines, we are finally free to encounter the Great Spirit revealed in the natural world, unfettered by us.

Today I finally found Granny Pop out of beds, in wild abundance not far from the river, amongst so many other wildflowers, all competing for space, and yet there seemed to be room for them all.

It’s always the small things, isn’t it?

What a lovely evening yesterday in Chawton.

After yet another beautiful day, we gathered together. Our L’il Chris chaired for us beautifully, and Rob Harvey shared some of his experiences of clairvoyance, including the removal of ghosts, and how it all sometimes comes together. Fascinating.

Then Rob, together with our House Mediums and Fledglings, brought messages while teaching and explaining the process. 

 We even spied a deer through the open door walking calmly down Winchester road in the early evening.

Thanks to everyone. Beautiful prayers and readings from the family, another divine cake from Carole, music run by Julie, and special thanks to our wonderful hospitality gals.

Thank you also to everyone who helped with the set-up and break-down afterwards, and thank you to our dedicated healers, for standing by.

Prayer of the Week

Please pray for those trapped in wildfires around the world—humankind and animals alike. So many suffer. The flora and fauna are devastated too, and let us remember that many of the smallest creatures cannot outrun the flames.

Calendar up later.

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.

Read the full blog here:

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.

Read the full blog here:

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.

Read the full blog here:

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.

After obtaining a hedgehog house at our Garden Party Auction on Saturday, I think I might need to brush up on my quill-osophy! Sorry, just had to.

These are the only creatures of their kind in the UK, and, in fact, can be found in Europe and Asia, but not the Americas. Although the Americas have their own spiky dude, the porcupine, he is from a completely different family.

Those spiky quills of a hedgehog are made of keratin and are a wonderful deterrent and defence system. Not many will mess with the hedgehog except the badger, who is able to unfurl him with his strength.

Summertime is busy, as the breeding season stretches from May to September, and those little hoglets will be nursed and hopefully get off to a good start. Strimming is always a worry in the garden, as a female hedgehog, whilst nursing, will likely abandon her brood if disturbed.

These very fast runners are quite quirky nocturnal creatures and, on encountering a new scent, will chew on the source of that scent, mixing it with their saliva, and then cover their quills. This is thought to be a form of scent “camouflage”.

Spare a thought for any hedgehogs that visit your space or garden, as dehydration can have them sighted in the daytime, circling in confusion. Some water, not milk, and some non-fishy cat food will do the trick and get him back on track.

He can be inspirational also in his character and simplicity. The Hedgehog Concept is a business plan developed based on his character, simplifying complex things into a single concept that guides all decisions, and his symbolism is that of obvious self-protection and healthy boundaries, a continual lesson for us all, especially when we are serving a spiritually focused life.

What a weekend! Amidst the football and Wimbledon, we had the continuing heatwave. Summer is in full blast.

Saturday we enjoyed our annual Garden Party!!  A lovely afternoon of Pimms, sandwiches, cream tea and much laughter and conversation, followed by the famous Garden Party Auction led my Rob and Sue. We raised £235. Thank you to Chris Shore and all who prepared, and helped run the plates of food and keep us filled up with tea, amongst other things.  Thank you to Rob for sharing his beautiful house for the occasion  

 On Sunday, so many made it into Chawton for our Divine Service, braving the heat, and we were glad to welcome John Morrow. And we did have such a lovely time, as John shared his journey towards Spiritualism and becoming a medium. So very interesting, and then he went on to share some absolutely lovely messages and information. Thank you so much! Our lovely Chris Shore chaired the proceedings with her usual ease.

Thank you to our readers. Thank you, Lisa, for the music. Thanks to our hospitality team, and yes, there was cake! We are growing our healing team, and so we were in full force for anyone wanting healing. Set-up and break-down were done so smoothly. Thank you, everyone!

Prayer of the week

Please pray for more love and kindness in this world. These simple ingredients could make such a vast difference in the lives of all who share this Earth.

There is a beautiful breeze today and some rain coming midweek.

There are a few who will be happy about that.

Have a beautiful week.

I have been watching the bumblebees favour a particular wildflower growing through the cracks of my patio. She has been growing in complete wild abandon this year, I might add. The bees just keep coming and coming to her, and I found myself wondering why this flower, in particular, was so favoured.

The flower is Linaria purpurea, originally from Italy but brought to the UK in the 1700s. She also has the wonderful common name of Purple Toadflax. With a name like that, it was enough to entice me to search further.

Although originally introduced and cultivated in the UK, she, like so many others, became an escapee and can now be found growing in the poorest of soils and in the most unlikely places of wasteland, like my patio!

The bees love her, especially the ‘Bumbles’ because their weight allows them to press down the lower lip of the two-lipped bloom and reach the rich treasure of nectar that so many other pollinators simply cannot get to. Bees, in general, are also drawn to that beautiful purple-blue colour.

Folklore has had a field day with this flower. The two-lipped flower resembles a toad’s mouth, giving her common name. Of course, she is associated with the faeries and their hidden treasures, but she also carries symbolism of protection, resilience, and even the breaking of hexes!

She must indeed be a treasure, for I have watched the bumblebees visit her from dawn’s early light right through until dusk on these beautiful summer days.

We gathered again last night in Chawton after one of those glorious summer days. Rob Harvey, our President, gave an address on just how close spirit can be. He then shared a little clairvoyance, with education and demonstration, with the help of some of the people who sit in Circle. It is a wonderful way for the whole family to understand, at a deeper level, just how close and real the other realms truly are.

Thank you, Rob, and thank you to Sarah Dorgan, who chaired the evening so beautifully. It was such a lovely, relaxed evening.

Thank you to our readers and prayer people, who help to build the energy. Thank you, Carole, for another delicious cake, and thank you to everyone who helps with hospitality. Thank you, Julie, for the music, to our wonderful healers, and to everyone who helps with setting up and packing away afterwards.

Prayer of the Week

Another heatwave is on its way. Please hold in your prayers all those who are vulnerable, people, their beloved companion animals, and don’t forget our wildlife and all animals. Yes the bees and the little ones too. They all need hydration. Prayers for all. Thank you.

Calendar up tomorrow.

Drink before thirst, take care in the heat, and enjoy these beautiful sunny days and heavenly blue skies!

What exactly is it that foxes are doing at this summertime point in the UK? I’ll tell you.

Most kits are probably fairly grown by now and getting into all sorts of mischief. The other morning, at precisely 3.30am, I was awakened by quite a din of yelps and general chaos. Looking out of the window in the early morning light, I saw five fox kits, all slightly different in size, playing with,and enjoying immensely,an old ice cream carton that appeared to have some ice cream still in it, obviously thieved from a nearby dustbin.

What a delight.

I watched them for so long that, yes, I got dressed and went downstairs. Standing in my little front garden in the early morning light, I was amazed that the birds were singing so early and so loudly.

The smallest kit came bounding into my garden. He froze on seeing me, like a rabbit in the headlights, then darted back to the safety of the woods. All the others froze too, before quickly following suit.

They have a rough road ahead of them. Not all will survive their first year. There are so many perils for young animals as they begin exploring their newfound playground.

With everything going on in this world, and sometimes in our own lives, reminding ourselves of the beauty and enchantment of nature is just the tonic to start the day,even if it is a little too early. The small things are actually the big things.

We were enchanted Sunday night to have Sarah Wawman, aka Pink Sarah, come to visit us in Chawton. It was a beautiful evening filled with her inspired thoughts and simply wonderful messages. Thank you so much, Sarah. We loved having you.

Our dear Nerina chaired the evening beautifully. Thank you!

The family gave readings and prayers to uplift us, and we were in fine voice. Carole had made the most beautiful chocolate cake, which most definitely did not disappoint. Thank you to our wonderful hospitality team. Thank you to Lisa for running the music, and thank you to our healers. Very quick work was made of packing everything away afterwards.

Prayer of the Week

Please pray for the people and animals affected by the recent disaster in Venezuela. So much chaos and suffering has been caused, and they need our thoughts and prayers.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful, and hopefully cooler week.
