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 17th July

Not much to report this week as I was in trance along with Brian and Paul. This was Paul’s first go at trance and did really well. He (apparently) –at least according to our visitors- is well suited to this form of mediumship and has great things in store.

He certainly reported similar (if a little more extreme) feelings and sensations to those I found on my first few ‘trips’. Nausea, vertigo, spinning sensations.
He also had some weird sensations in his arms and hands and it will be interesting to see how these develop or if indeed they have any significance.

We’re still having problems with the sound levels in the tape recorder, so no MP3 files are available as yet, but once we have this sorted, we’ll be posting the sound files for download.

Both Brian and I brought few some visitors to the Lodge. Brian’s experience and talent for Trance shone through and of the bits that I do remember, his communicators were clear and precise. Showing great precision with their presence and ability to talk clearly and concisely about the work that is going on within the lodge.

If you go to the Lodge journal, you’ll get a better picture of what happened (from someone who was at least was awake for the whole evening.


Next week is the experiment that Spirit are setting up for us. We’ve still no real idea what they are planning to attempt. All we know so far is that Brian will be strapped into his chair as usual but rather than in the Cabinet (placed in the south corner of the room) he will be sat in the North corner.
We’ve been told to keep the cabinet empty and the curtains closed and to keep the floor space between Brian and the cabinet clear.
We will wait and see and I promise to post a full report next Wednesday.

Till then
Cheers for now

Dear Jon,

I would love to have a conversation with you about your seance work. I find all of this so interesting, just sorry you haven't had luck recording these meetings.

I'm wondering how this work differs from your healing work and readings you perform. Seems like it's one in the same? Only you're working with a group rather than alone?

Loads of hugs, Lynn xo
