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 15th January -update

Following the indication from the Chief at last weeks seance; that it's not significant for the development of the physical circle if the sitters have recently eaten or not, we have been given some clarification on this advice.

It's been pointed out by the Spirit Team that although the Medium and the physical phenomena are not reliant on the sitters having an empty stomach, Everyone in the circle is continually developing themselves (both spirit and human).

Comment from FC: "that whilst he does not disagree with The Chief's accuracy of fact regarding eating before a séance, he would like to remind sitters that development is taking place within the Circle, on both sides of life. Sitters may experience development in many and various ways and a stomach that is filled may as readily become emptied. Unfortunately it is not always possible to predict the developmental stage on any sitter. He therefore advises caution."

Probably good advice for anyone considering placing themselves in any situation such as a circle or seance
