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.

Tuesday 19th March


Myself, Christine, David and Justin. Paul in the cabinet –trussed up like a chicken!

Overall a very quiet night. From different positions in the room, we all ‘thought’ we saw some indistinct changes in the depth of the darkness (we were in total blackout conditions) but none of these were objective, and none of us could agree on what we’d seen so we have put these down to subjective perceptions and will leave these to one side for the time being.

Both Chris and myself agreed that we had felt a very cold ‘draught’ coming from the cabinet at one point (we sit either side of the cabinet space) but the most significant event was when Justin heard a loud click or tap on the wall right next to his right ear.
I was a few feet away to his right and also heard exactly the same noise at the same time.

It wasn’t much to go on, but on an otherwise quiet evening it was the highlight of the night!

…here’s 5 grown adults, sitting round for an hour in the pitch black, getting excited because there was an unexplained tap on the wall. !! At times I wonder what on earth we are doing??? :-)

But watch this space…. So far we have only been sitting for 6 weeks and we have experienced something (even if only a tap such as last nights) on every single occasion.

Paul, who was in the cabinet, reported feeling a lot of energy in the first 30 minutes or so and then only being vaguely aware of the second half of the evening. (my guess is he was falling asleep …only kidding!)

So, that’s it for this week. Not much to go on, but highhopes for the future.
I’ll miss next weeks sitting as I’ll be away on business, but will post up a report on what does or doesn’t happen.
