Exploring Mediumship, Spirit & Spiritual Development

There is always more for us to learn about the spirit world. Questions about mediumship, those who have passed over and our own spiritual abilities are some of the subjects we regularly explore.

Rob Harvey has recently shared several articles looking at these topics from his own experiences as a lifelong medium and through his work at the church. Below, we have brought together three of his latest articles for anyone who would like to explore these subjects further.

Can Your Loved Ones Speak Through Trance Mediumship?

Can somebody you love who has passed over actually speak to you through a trance medium?

Trance mediumship involves someone from the spirit world drawing extremely close to a medium in order to communicate through them. Rob explains that this is quite different from ordinary clairvoyance and, in his experience, isn’t something we should expect a particular loved one to be able to do on demand.

However, after a lifetime involved with mediumship, Rob is also reluctant to put absolute limits on what may be possible. Most importantly, he believes our loved ones do not need trance mediumship in order to remain close to us. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Understanding the Different Types of Spirit Attachments

The term spirit attachment can sound frightening, but Rob believes it is important to understand that not every experience is the same.

Drawing upon cases he has encountered, Rob discusses what he believes can range from confused or wandering souls to more negative spiritual influences. He also explains that sometimes a presence somebody fears is an unwanted attachment may, in his interpretation, actually be a loved one trying to make themselves known.

The article also explores why Rob believes spiritual development should be approached carefully, with proper guidance and discernment, rather than fear. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Can Anyone Become a Medium?

Do you have to be born a medium, or can mediumship be developed?

Rob’s view is that we all have some potential for spiritual development, although people’s natural abilities can vary considerably. For some, this may develop into clairvoyance; for others, their path may be spiritual healing or simply a greater awareness of the spiritual world.

At the church, Rob has seen people arrive believing they could never become a medium, only to discover abilities through sitting in circle, learning and developing over time. He explains why an open mind, humility and a genuine desire to help others are more important than wanting to be seen as particularly gifted. Rob Harvey Life after Death

Whether you are already involved in mediumship, have experienced something you don’t fully understand, or are simply curious about life after death, these articles offer an opportunity to explore Rob’s experiences and beliefs in greater depth.

Above all, a theme that runs through all three is that there is still much we don’t understand. For Rob, spiritual development is not about ego or having all the answers, but about continuing to learn, approaching these subjects with humility and remembering the importance of love.

The warm and sunny spells are mixing with rain, showing us that we are very much in the new season now. The fullness of this Harvest Moon was witnessed last Friday and she has been a steady, luminous lamp in the sky ever since. It is no wonder she has been called by that name. In days gone by, that lamp in the sky was such a great help to farmers finishing their work, particularly as the moon appears earlier in the night sky at this time of year due to her angle and path close to the equinox.

I am reminded daily that the hedgehog house sitting on my kitchen table, as I pour my coffee each morning, really does need to be organised! The time for hedgehog hibernation is coming quickly, and I will have to find a safe place and some extra debris to cover it.

A few neighbourhood cats continue to frequent my extension to watch the birds in relative comfort and, let’s face it, get a bit of fuss! The mallow has gone wild in my garden. Where did that come from? And did you know that autumnal babies have a higher chance of becoming a centenarian?

Although the moon is starting to wane, she remains a reminder of gratitude, even during trying times. We all have so much that we take for granted. Her symbolism is most obviously that of harvest, gratitude and completion. This autumn will give us time to reflect and evaluate everything in our lives. Being pensive doesn’t mean being sad. Quieter times feel very good when they are needed, and they help to recharge the spirit.

If you are fortunate enough to see this still-bright moon near the horizon, without cloud cover, you may witness a wonderful trick of the light. You can enjoy not only the illusion of a larger moon, but also her beautiful amber hues.

Last night, there was no waning in Chawton! Unfortunately, Pink Sarah was unable to be with us, but our own Sarah Dorgan stepped in as our medium, and what a lovely night we had. Sarah brought inspired thoughts to us, reminding us about kindness even when faced with more difficult people, and then went on to bring so many messages for family. Thank you, Sarah, and well done!

Our beautiful Nerina chaired the evening with her usual grace. Thank you. With prayers and readings to lift us from the family, the energy was high. Julie ran our music, thank you. And thank you again to Carole for another delicious cake! And our healers stood by after the service for anyone in need. And as always, a special thank you to everyone who sets up and breaks down each Sunday evening.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please pray for the children of this world, who are in such challenging situations in different regions. So many do not have access to medical help, and simple illnesses and conditions that could be solved easily cause such suffering. These children of impoverished countries suffer in so many different ways, which can affect them for their whole lives.

Calendar will be up tomorrow.

Pause. In the moments, we are all just spirit having a very human experience.

Have a beautiful week!

As we welcome yet another week of full summer, from the morning’s gentle light, through the bright days and into those soothing summer evenings, we are aware that another heatwave is on the way.

We also welcome a week where Divine Geometry will briefly dominate the skies on Wednesday evening.

Before the sun dips below the horizon, we will experience an impressive solar eclipse, the likes of which have not been seen since 1999. And if you think this is no big deal, another one of this kind will not come our way until 2050.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves into position between the sun and the earth, darkening the skies for a brief time.

From our vantage point in the southern part of the UK, we will see it in the western skies during the early evening. And, in addition the moon may appear slightly larger than usual, due to an optical illusion.

The spiritual symbolism of these particular events has often been associated with profound transformation, the revealing of hidden truths and sudden new beginnings.

We can only imagine how the ancients felt. We do know they were filled with fear and awe, believing that the wrath of the gods was playing out before their very eyes. How they must have grappled to understand what they were witnessing.

So, grab your special glasses, keep your eyes safe, and don’t miss this beautiful celestial event.

And I think our healing will take on an even more special sentiment this Wednesday evening.

Last night we welcomed our friend Jim Demitri to us in Chawton.  What a lovely time we had, as Jim shared his inspired thoughts and brought our messages with much humour. Thank you so much Jim!!  Our lovely Nerina chaired the evening beautifully, and they made a good team

Thank you to our readers, and also Lisa running our music. We thank Carole for cake, and Sue for helping with hospitality. We thank all those who set up and break down each and every week, and of course our diligent healers standing by.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please continue to pray for those trapped in the situation in the Straits of Hormuz. May a deal be reached swiftly.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week.  Drink and don’t forget to protect your eyes Wednesday evening!

Catch Up on Rob Harvey’s Latest Blogs: Purpose, Service and Free Will

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 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.

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.

Rob Harvey continues to share powerful perspectives on life after death, healing, and the unseen world around us. His most recent blogs explore some of the most common questions people ask when trying to understand the spirit world—offering clarity, reassurance, and a deeper way of thinking.

Here’s a closer look at his latest posts, along with a brief insight into each.

Seeing Loved Ones as They Truly Are

Can You Ever See Someone Who Has Passed As They Really Were?

In this thought-provoking blog, Rob explains how those in the spirit world are no longer limited by their physical bodies. Instead of appearing as they did at the end of life, they often present themselves in a way that reflects how they truly see themselves—healthier, younger, or at a meaningful point in their lives.

It challenges the idea of identity after death and offers comfort to those wondering how their loved ones exist beyond the physical.

What Happens at a Healing Evening and Why You Might Benefit From It

This blog gives an inside look at Rob’s healing evenings and what people can expect when attending one. Moving beyond the idea of physical healing alone, Rob describes how these sessions work on emotional and spiritual levels—helping individuals release stress, restore balance, and feel a deeper sense of calm.

For anyone curious about spiritual healing or considering attending, this offers a clear and reassuring introduction.

How Do You Talk to a Ghost?

How Do You Talk to a Ghost?

In this insightful post, Rob breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics—communication with spirits. Rather than dramatic or physical interactions, he explains that communication happens through thought, feeling, and subtle impressions.

It encourages readers to rethink what they may have already experienced, and to recognise that what they once dismissed as imagination could hold real meaning.

Read more to learn how spirit communication really works.

Each of these blogs offers a deeper understanding of the spirit world, helping to remove fear, answer questions, and open the mind to new possibilities.

If you’re exploring spirituality, healing, or life after death, these are well worth a read.

Walking in the local woodlands, I came around a corner and spotted a bunch of fly agaric, recognized as the magical toadstools of fairy tales, myth, and folklore. This magical mushroom is bold in colour, usually scarlet or orange with white warty spots, and is hard to miss, but really a wolf in sheep’s clothing, as she is highly toxic, and can cause psychotic reactions when ingested, so that’s not a good idea!

Her name derives from her historical use as an insecticide. She is a sure sign that Autumn is underway. She is seen solo or in small clusters around Birch and other trees, and she helps the trees obtain the nutrients in their roots. Her spiritual symbolism is of transcending the physical plane to higher levels of spiritual awareness.

Well, we aim to do that every time we gather, and last night was no exception, as the lovely Eve Cowell was in the house. Eve shared a little about what and how she perceives when giving mediumship and a little about her history, which was so interesting, and then went on to share some lovely messages! Thank you so much, Eve! We loved having you! Thank you to Alison Keogh, who chaired our evening.

We also thank our family for sharing readings and prayers from the heart. We thank Sue for our hospitality, Carole for our cake, Julie for running our music, our wonderful healers for standing by after our gathering, and all those who set up, break down, and wash up each week!

Prayer of the week

Please pray for Spiritual courage for ourselves and our brothers and sisters across the world, in horrendous situations. We live in a fear-based world, and that fear can affect the quality of life. May we be blessed with new courage as we tackle the experiences on this physical plane.

Calendar up next.

Take a moment. Meditate on good things.

There are so many.

Well, summer is back in full force, and she is glorious. May we relish every drop of her. The nights have not disappointed either. The Sturgeon Moon, our August moon, became full on Saturday, August 9th. She was so named by the Native American fishing tribes after the freshwater fish so abundant at one time in the Great Lakes of North America. The colonists adopted the name, and it has remained ever since. She did not rise far above the horizon and so created an almost magnified effect of a larger and very orange moon as the sunlight illuminated her.

Not to be outdone, the Perseid meteor shower is still in full force, peaking on the 13th of August, and we also have a spectacular planetary lineup right now. We are indeed blessed by day and blessed by night.

And last night, we were blessed as Sarah Norris came to visit, bringing the energy of Spirit in such abundance. Sarah shared some wonderfully inspired and uplifting thoughts and then went on to also bring our lovely messages. What a lovely night of upliftment. Thank you so much Sarah! Alison Keogh chaired our evening.

Thank you to our readers, who stepped up when some folks were unable to be there. Thank you to Sue, our Hospitality. Thank you, Carole for cake. Julie, we thank you for the music, as well as all ‘washer uppers’ and those who set up and break down each week. And thank you always to our wonderful healers on hand.

Prayer of the week

Please pray for a massive Spiritual awakening for this planet, especially for those who wage war and greed, and who have such power. May they feel a shift in their being. May they understand that the consequences of their hate legacies will not disappear with death. Change always starts with the heart.

Calendar up soon.

Have a wonderful week.

Get out and breathe in the fullness of this season!!

We have just passed the midsummer mark, or the summer solstice. Due to the mystery of the sun appearing to stand still since Neolithic times (10,000 years before Christ), the imaginations of cultures throughout the centuries stirred, creating many traditions. St John’s Day, celebrated by many Christians on the 24th of June, is also thought to deliberately coincide with the midsummer mark.

We have enjoyed absolutely glorious weather in this neck of the woods, and so with flowers in full bloom and the beauty of the natural world, it has indeed been fitting for this time. The days, alas, will shorten now by two minutes every evening, but the symbolism of this midsummer time prompts us to think of joy and abundance during the fullness of this season in this hemisphere.

Joy and Laughter were abundant last night in Chawton. Lesley Knight was in the house, and how we love having her visit us. Lesley gave us laughter, shared beautiful thoughts that we all needed to hear, and then brought some lovely messages for us. Thank you so much, Lesley!! Alison Keogh chaired our evening

It was also Mr Shackleton’s birthday, and so we enjoyed cake and a bit of singing to ring in another year for him. Happy Birthday Les!! It is your birthday week!!

Thank you to The Family who brought lovely readings and prayers. Thank you, Julie, for running our music. Thank you, Carole, for the cake. Thank you hospitality, and a special thanks to our healers. And of course, light work is made of set up and break down because all of those who do it diligently every week.

Prayer of the week

Please pray for the tense situation in Iran. Pray for the leaders, and all people and animals, let’s not forget them, affected by any fallout.

Calendar up soon.

Have a beautiful week. Summer is here. Let’s hope she stays for the Garden Party Saturday!!
