The Sanctuary


In 2007 a small group of interested people decided to set up a
home circle dedicated to learning and understanding more about Physical
Mediumship.
This circle was named the Bristol Spirit Lodge - as Chris, whose home
hosted the circle and who created the idea, lived in Bristol at the time.
The BSL grew and evolved over time with many sitters and mediums coming
and going. I myself developed my own abilities as a Trance and Transfiguration
medium but the hoped for physical phenomena didn't appear to be on the agenda.
Much of the early development records as experienced by myself are
recorded in this blog up to the point where I really felt I was unable to add
anything new to the record.

In May 2013, some 5 yrs down the line, the BSL has relocated to Clevedon
and gone from strength to strength. Numerous new home circles have spun off and
have set up on their own and links to many others have been created
6 months ago, a young lady, wife and Mum contacted Chris to enquire
about physical mediumship. One thing led to another and she has now been sitting
in her own circle within the BSL for development with some amazing results. The
speed and level of her development has been stunning.

A few months ago, her spirit team who have been communicating through
direct voice whilst Emily has been in deep trance, told us that they wished to
form a small closed circle to sit weekly with a handful of dedicated sitters in
support to start what they called the “serious work”.

Last week was the inaugural sitting of the closed circle and what
follows below will be my own subjective account of my personal experiences
during this and subsequent sittings.
Chris will continue to update her own account of course on the BSL
on-line diary. My own diary in no way replaced these, this is just my own
personal record for my own interest and for anyone else who wants to follow.

The Sanctuary - An Introduction

Welcome to The Sanctuary.

This is not going to be your average blog. …I've got one of those and you can find it at
www.jonmees.blogspot.com

I am a member of a home development circle that meets each week to encourage and facilitate the physical evidence of the continuation of life beyond 'death'.

As one of the mediums in the group, I sometimes sit in a cabinet in blackout conditions, secured into a chair (so I can't move under the cover of the darkness) and allow Spirit to use my energy and that of the others in the circle to create physical phenomena that proves beyond all doubt the existence of spirit.

Other times I sit within the circle as a witness to the phenomena that occurs.

In time, we hope to either see a pattern emerging, or receive guidance as to who should sit consistenly for physcial mediumship. But until then we plan to rotate the 2 or 3 potential mediums and let Spirit decide who is best suited to this work.



This blog is a weekly record of each séance. Of what did or did not happen as the case maybe.

Our circle has been sitting for one month now, so it is very early days and we have a lot to learn - and Spirit have a lot of work to do to create the right conditions necessary to be able to manifest into the physical world.

So far we have experienced some early signs of activity on each occasion that we have sat.
One the first evening we heard a loud thump on the floor and an aluminium 'trumpet' (a 2 foot long metal cone) was knocked to the floor.

On the next evening a light was seen to flash in one corner of the room and on the 3rd, a clear and distinct "footfall" was heard in the same corner of the room.

Not much to go on to the casual observer, but when you are in a small (8' by 12') room with only 4 good friends sitting in blackout conditions for a little over an hour, these represent very significant progress after such a short while.

We don't expect too much any time soon, but hope to hear Direct Voice and other physical phenomena in the future, which we then intend to share as proof to anyone who cares to investigate that we are all much, much more than we may think we are.
That life continues on beyond this short physical existence,
That we are all supported and guided by Spirit
That we are all part of the one all encompassing Spirit.

We aspire to helping others to understand these things, to give comfort to these who have lost loved ones and to prove beyond doubt that consciousness exists beyond the physical body.

Welcome to our Sanctuary.
