New Laws on the Fraudulent Mediums act take effect tomorrow

While I was at the Arthur Findlay college for their open week earlier in the month, we were told that there was a journalist asking people questions.

Spirited away meet the psychics with an uncertain future is the article that was written from those questions.

Paranormal site's investigators Dave Wood takes a look at what the repeal of the Fraudulent Mediums Act (1951) is going to mean for psychic practitioners.

I am still not clear how this will look in practice, and wonder how many members of the public will take out law suits against practising mediums, psychics and healers.

Time and patience in Psychic development classes

This week in our psychic development class we learned about meeting our animal guides. It was interesting looking at what different animals represent. I had not thought about animal guides before.

One of the students in the class was upset, as she had not seen anything in the meditation, and as our class is a mixture of beginners and intermediate students, she felt that she needed to see what the others saw. I tried to tell her not to make comparisons, as she was not comparing like with like. I also think that the way spirit communicates with one person, is not the way they will communicate with another.

The President in spirit at my local spiritualist church, I was told ,sat in a circle for twelve years, and did not see a thing. However, after the twelve year period she became a well known medium. I saw a medium at the SAGB this month, and he told me he sat in circle for three years, and didn't get any messages, and then it all started to happen. I can see how frustrating it may be for some people, however I am aware it can take years of patience and regular attendance at circles before spirit communicates.

I believe that spirit communicates with us when they feel we are ready. There are exceptions, for example people who are born with the gift,and see spirit,at a young age, but some of them still go to circles, to develop further.

Psychic Development classes

I have signed up for a three month psychic development class. We have done exercises on chakras, basic aura details, and how to sense different energies.

At the beginning of each class we start with a meditation, to open our chakras, protect ourselves, call in our guides, and to ground ourselves. We end each class with a meditation to close our chakras, and protect ourselves. These meditations are essential, as it seems that once anyone starts this journey they can attract all sorts.

My second day at the Mystical Arts exhibition

It was such a lovely day in London today, I missed a number of workshops as I was enjoying the weather instead.

I went to a workshop on protection and grounding with Sue Allen today. What I am taking away with me is the importance of protecting yourself when you work with people, as you can pick up their energies, which could have a detrimental effect. The information that Sue Allen gave during the workshop could apply to healers, counsellors, doctors, nurses, anyone who works with people on a regular basis.

There are six rules that you need to apply to protect yourself:

1. Ground.



2. Cleanse.



3. Close/attune.



4. Protect.



5. Know your energy.



6. Ask for assistance.

By not protecting yourself, you leave yourself open to different types of energies.

My day at the Mystic Arts Exhibition in London

I went to the Mystic arts exhibition today at the Olympia exhibition halls. There was so much on offer, I had a hard time deciding what to see. There were lots of stalls selling clothes, books, music,magazines,jewellery and crystals. There were stalls where you could get tarot readings, hand and mineral readings,coffee cup readings, readings from mediums, shiatsu massage,dianetics, get your aura photographed, stress tests. There were a number of stalls where you could sit and meditate, too. I have to say I have never seen so many tarot readers, mediums, and psychics in one place.

The first workshop that I went to, was Psychic surgery with Gary Mannion. He worked on members of the audience through his guide Abraham, and did not go into trance, so was able to take questions from the audience while he was working.

He started off by telling the audience what he was picking up, describing the conditions of some members in the audience. He then selected who to work on with the assistance of Abraham. This selection process was similar to how mediums work in demonstrations, by giving out some information, and then narrowing it down to one individual.

He could see what his guide was doing with the patient, and it seems that his guide used his hands to do the work. It was interesting to hear from people who experienced his work. One woman said she felt that she had been cut, and that her skin was separated, and that she had a sensation of many hands working on her. At some point, some members of the audience could hear noises ie, similar to bones cracking. Gary mentioned that he had an 86% success rate. It looked interesting, and it may be something that I may give a try at some point.

I spent the rest of the time wandering around the numerous stalls,having lunch with a friend, and then ended the day by going to a seance with Barbara Meiklejohn Free.

I will go back tomorrow, for some more workshops.
