2025 was a year of change and new beginnings for me, I had separated from my wife 15/10/24, I was living in a room in a shared house, hardly ideal living conditions for me. I was ashamed because I was 64 years old and I found myself washed up on the shore of life, starting from scratch once again, my house mates were half my age. I must admit to feeling a complete failure, but I had a roof over my head and a bed thankful that I was not homeless, I referred to my room as my bolt hole. Whilst I grieved for my marriage, and excited by a new relationship with my girlfriend Julie, this created juxtaposed emotions within me, sadness over my deceased marriage, and contemplating whether I should have entered into a new relationship so soon after separating from my wife. As I had only just started divorce proceedings in December 2024. I saw in the new year with Julie as we stood in the doorway of my digs watching the fireworks, smoking a cigar drinking whisky. I could only wonder what the new year would bring.
I found myself going through a maelstrom of emotions, Julie brought into my life a selfless unconditional love, that gave me the emotional support and healing that I needed, and kept me from sinking into depression and alcohol. I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life at that time, she kept me going when I felt all was lost. To my surprise during this time I found that my mediumship was getting stronger. I can only suggest that when I was living with the ex wife, that we were living in a state of inertia, now I was free from that state of inertia, vibrational energies around me had changed to becoming more vibrant, and I was able to reach up to spirit with a much clearer energy, that greatly improved my link to spirit. I now realise that at that time as it is now is a time of spiritual development, to keep moving forward no matter what was happening, to become at peace with myself taking my vibrational frequency to a higher level. I often tell people that we have to create the right energies for spirit to be able to communicate in, that energy is LOVE. My spiritual development is now developing love through awakening Christ consciousness within.
Before leaving the marital home, I applied for social housing with Hampshire County Council. After filling in the lengthy application form and proving that I had the right to apply for social housing in Hampshire. I was told it could take up to two years to get accommodation. I was pleased that my application had been accepted, and I had taken another step towards creating a new life, a life that gave me security and a forever home, I would bid on homes every Wednesday when homes were advertised. Working for meals on wheels I had delivered meals to many homes that were small and compact, I thought I would get one of those homes for the older person, they have what I needed a separate bedroom, lounge, bathroom, and kitchen. That I did not have to share with anyone, as I was going a bit stir crazy living in that room. 05/06/25 I was offered a property as I had a local connection through my work, 12/06/25 I went to view the property and signed for the keys to the property, it was a large flat near to where I work. I had taken on the tenancy of the flat a blank canvas that could be turned into my forever home, feeling that I had bitten off more than I could chew, as I had no money to decorate or buy white goods and furniture. But I could see the path was opening up in front of me, I had to go for it and move forward, working it out as I go.
A pension company kept emailing me, asking me to look at my pension with them, and decide on what to do with the money. I thought it was a small pension with only £500 to a £1000 in it, as I was in need of cash to invest in the decoration and kitting out of my new home. I decided to have a look at it, to my absolute surprise and delight, the pension was worth £16,400. I was very excited as I now had the money, to create and get everything I needed for my new home. As I had left my marital home with my clothes and DVD collection, I cashed in my pension and paid £4,100 in tax on my pension, this payment in tax I resent to this day, leaving me with £12,300. but enough to sort out my new home and new life. I was a bit daunted by this new project as I had never done anything like this before, 15/06/25 I gave my landlord one months notice on my room, so I had a month to transform my new home and move out of my room. I am useless at DIY so I advertised for a decorator with varying estimates, the decorator I picked decided not to show up, in desperation I put it on Facebook to ask if anyone knew of a decorator who could help me, a medium friend of mine suggested her husband Shawn, I contacted Shawn and he agreed to decorate my flat, he also agreed to build the flat pack wardrobe and install the white goods I had ordered. I will always be grateful to Shawn, for helping me out in my hour of need and for all his hard work. 15/07/25 I moved into my new home fully furnished and decorated.
The year of 2025 has been totally amazing, from down and demoralized the end of my marriage, to a complete new life with a new woman, I finally have a rock solid foundation to grow and become. As I realise I am becoming a new version of myself through spiritual development, since moving in I have opened a spiritual development circle, have done a trance sit, I hope people will visit my home for trance healing and spiritual guidance. throughout 2025 I have realised no matter how dark the day, spirit and the universe will assist us in our journey, if we put our greatest and highest good first, and keep moving forward rather than drowning in our hurt.
Sitting at home awaiting Julie my girlfriend to arrive, thinking of the drive to premier inn Blackburn south. Contemplating my third visit north to serve spirit, as previous blogs will testify, knowing I am honored and privileged to be invited to serve northern churches three years in a row. Knowing I want to be the best medium that I can be for spirit, and reminding myself we mediums are nothing without spirit, we mediums all to often get caught up in the hype of showbiz spiritualism, leading to exaggerated expectations and ego, I love to travel in my service to spirit, I was told by spirit years ago that I would demonstrate all over the country. It is great to serve new churches and to meet so many dedicated people who run spiritualist churches.
This years visit is bitter sweet as in the last ten months I have separated from my wife, final order of divorce due in late August, now I have a girlfriend and a new home, it has been a rollercoaster of upheaval change and emotions. It was as if I fell asleep in one world and awoke in another, the last ten months have been a time of adjustment for me, adapting to my new world whilst saying a long slow painful farewell to my old world, throughout the last ten months whilst serving spirit in churches. I have found that my mediumship has got stronger and more evidential, I realise that as my marriage was coming to an end I was in a state of inertia, now out of that state of inertia energies are rising and my mediumship is becoming stronger. I have struggled to adapt to my new world as I loved my wife deeply, Julie has been very patient and understanding with me, it still feels strange at times not having my wife around anymore, and not sensing that beautiful togetherness I thought we had.
Sitting at breakfast this morning. with memories of bringing my wife here in 2023, it hit me like a freight train that I had got my life back my life has been reset back to as it was before I met my wife in 2017, when I dwell on my memories of my wife I am living in a past lament. My life has been reset for a reason so now I must embrace it, there must be much to do, for my life to be reset in this way. This thought is very empowering, as I have always felt I am a leaf being blown by the spirit breeze to wherever spirit need me to be, the sense of freedom and purpose I feel right now is indescribable, last year northern light 2024 I grieved for lost love, it was very hard to raise my vibration out of my grief to spirit somehow we managed, this year northern light 2025 is a journey of development discovery and service.
It was great to be serving Clitheroe Spiritualist Church once again. Myself and Julie received a warm welcome from Angela, the new president of the church and her husband Mark, Angela asked me to pick a song or a hymn for service, I picked the hymn Open My Eyes, a traditional spiritualist hymn and one of the first hymns I sang in a spiritualist church 47 years ago, Open My Eyes is still my favourite hymn, I was delighted when Angela told me she was very happy that I had picked a traditional spiritualist hymn. The energy within the church was warm and friendly, a good energy to open to spirit. I took my coffee into the mediums room to meditate and open my channel to spirit, as I opened heart and mind to spirit. I felt the presence of an angel, and George who always calls out his name when I open to spirit, and a black cat.
I was asked to light a candle on platform before I opened the service in prayer, I asked for the light of the candle to bring healing to all in need, opened in prayer followed by the lords prayer. We sang Open My Eyes, then it was time for me to demonstrate mediumship, I see this as a time to connect loved ones in spirit to loved ones on earth, it is a privilege to pass on messages from loved ones in spirit, and I am so very humbled to be a part of that connection. Not only for evidence of survival after physical death, this is secondary to me what is more important is the love, healing, comfort, upliftment, and guidance. A message from a loved one in spirit can bring to a loved one on earth, I was taught that evidence should be given purely for recognition purposes only. This became apparent, when I was connecting a grandmother in spirit to her teenage grandson, she gave her grandson evidence, that his mother sitting next to him did not know. The grandmother in spirit gave her grandson on earth a birthday cake, he confirmed he had just had his seventeenth birthday.
After service he came to me and thanked me for the message, he told me the reason he comes to Clitheroe Spiritualist Church is to talk to his grandmother. I was humbled by this, as yet again it reminds me of why we mediums do what we do for spirit, the heart to heart connection from spirit communicators to their beloved on earth, messages from spirit should always be given through the heart, as they bring upliftment comfort and healing to the bereaved. There is great purpose in spirit communication, to bring not only upliftment comfort and healing, also to bring teaching to raise the collective consciousness of the human soul. Towards the end of service I was giving a lady a message from a spirit lady who came with a black cat, as I mentioned the cat, a dog who had been sitting quietly throughout the service, started growling and barking at something behind me, Angela said this was the best evidence of the night. Another example I would like to share with you 30/07/25 I was serving Cadoxten Spiritualist Church, I gave a message to a young man from several of his loved ones in spirit, after service he told me he walked into church as a sceptic, but messages I passed onto him from his loved ones in spirit, were on point and accurate, and that he would attend church every week to learn more about life after death. The path of spiritual service is so sacred and divine, to be able to bring enlightenment and healing to all who seek through heart to heart connection is beyond words and earthly reward.

My third visit to connections of light Darwen. I must say I love to serve connections, as it is a opportunity to meet old friends, from when I used to do zoom demonstrations for them in lockdown. was lovely to see Andy, Sylvia, Karen, Alice, and Stephanie again. Connections is a high energy church and it is a privilege to open to spirit in this high energy, I am often telling people you get out of spirit communication what you put into it. There is the loving power of spirit within connections of light, because the energy of love has been created within the church by those who run it and also the people who attend. I wish more churches and centres understood, that the building they are in is a medium for spirit, and it is important that the energy of love must be created within the building, to create the right environment for spirit to communicate in. As spirit reach out to us from a realm of unconditional love. Connections also serve their community as a spiritual hub, running workshops and demonstrations from many spiritual disciplines, also raising money for local people and charities and social events. It is an honour for me to serve connections of light. As for the demonstration of mediumship, the love flowed between the spirit and physical realms, evidence was on point and accepted. As always I look forward to serving connections of light next year.

It was originally intended, that I should demonstrate transfiguration and trance at Wigan SNU Church, unfortunately Wigan had a flood and they have builders in repairing flood damage, and they would not be open in time for me and my spirit team to demonstrate. Tina the booking secretary for Wigan suggested that she would offer my demonstration of transfiguration and trance to local churches to see if anyone of them would like to host transfiguration and trance. I was delighted when Horwich National Spiritualist Church, offered to host transfiguration and trance the same night, as the Wigan demonstration would have been. Chris the president contacted me and arrangements were made.
HorwichNational Spiritualist Church, is a large church with a hundred and twenty six years of history of serving it’s community,it is an honour and privilege to serve there, I was met by the committee who opened the church. I set up the cabinetthe lovely Janet agreed to workwith me, and guide people who wanted to ask my spirit guide questions to the chair next to the cabinet. Janette told me they have trance demonstrations at Horwich, but this would be the first one with a cabinet and red light. I advised Janette that I wanted to demonstrate transfiguration and trance in the old traditional way, using the cabinet to harness spirit energy, and red light to help people to see spirit easier.
Janet introduced meto the twenty sitters in attendance. I gave a short talk about how transfiguration and trance works, what may happen within the cabinet, as I explained to the sitters something or nothing may happen, as each transfiguration and trance sit that I do is experimental and developmental. Also the safety rules the do’s and dont’s, I sat in the cabinet giving the opening prayer asking for protection and inviting my spirit team to use me as a channel for transfiguration and trance, going into my countdown meditation to trance state.
When I returned back into my physical consciousness, sitters told me they had seen my spirit guides in transfiguration describing them accurately, also some of the sitters had witnessed loved ones appear in transfiguration, the ladies who asked my spirit guide questions told me their questions were answered and now they have a greater understanding of eternal life. Many of the sitters said they experienced the healing energies from the cabinet. I left Horwich National Spiritualist Church, feeling empowered and energised that my spirit team had touched hearts, also a invitation to return next year.

I am very muchlooking forward to serving Bankfoot SNU Church this evening, my last service of this years Northern Light. This will be the second time I have served Bankfoot, it is a large friendly spiritualist church in Bradford, tonight will be a divine service, with a inspired address and messages from loved ones. I will meditate to receive inspiration for the address from my spirit guides, inviting them to choose which of my poems to read out before I give the address. Today I will rest and meditate as I intend to drive home over night, as I am serving Bognor Regis Spiritualist Centre tomorrow evening.
Arrivingat Bankfoot SNU Church around 6pm, I had plenty of time to prepare for service, spiritual healing was being given in the main church, a lady made myself and Julie a cup of coffee. I relaxed as the church began to fill with people, I went to a quiet room to meditate, Steve who chaired for me last year again chaired for me thisyear, Steve asked me if I was going to give philosophy. I said yes as I see philosophy and teaching as a integral part of raising consciousness, spiritualism with just evidential mediumship is just a glimpse of the truth of eternal life. Knowledge should be givento allow people to put the way of eternal life, into their spiritual practice.The service began I gave the opening prayer followed by the lords prayer, then a meditation to receive spiritual healing was given by the lovely Christine, a lady read out a reading teaching us that everything happens in it’s own time. and that we are all loved and guided, I followed this with an inspired address, stating that we should be aware that we are eternal now, and that we have chosen life on the earth plane, to evolve our eternal soul and the collective consciousness of the human race,
We sang a hymn then it was time for me to connect loved ones in spirit to loved ones present in the church. The energy within the church suddenly uplifted, the messages flowed and evidence was accepted, the laughter of those in attendance really raised the energy, one message I was blessed to have given from a Jewish professor in spirit, to a Muslim lady in the congregation, showing me himself so I could give a full description of him, he also gave her a Menorah Candelabra, the lady was overjoyed to receive a message from him, as he was a very close friend and they used to share deep conversations about religion. That was the last message I closed in prayer we said the vesper, after a cup of coffee and a big slice of Victoria sponge it was time to drive home, as I am serving Bognor Regis Spiritualist Centre 10/08/25. I have come away from Northern Light 2025, feeling empowered and truly blessed, hoping to do it all again next year.

I was very happyto receive a message from the lovelyAngela Brigenshaw, who runs Aberaeron Spiritualist Church, with her husband David. Angela asked me if I would like to serve the church, for a divine service on the Saturday, and for a demonstration of trance on the Sunday. I agreed to serve as I love serving Welsh churches, my late father was Welsh. So in my own little way serving Welsh churches, is my way of remembering and paying my respects to my dad. Myself and Angela agreed the dates for both demonstrations to be the 3rd and 4th August 2024. Angela also invited me to stay with her and David whilst I was in Wales, this was a welcome invitation as it would save me the cost of a hotel. Angela also asked if I would like to serve The Ray of Light Spiritualist Church, up the road from them in Llechryd, I said I would if they would like me to serve. During the following week the lovely Linda Mulvey contacted me from The Ray of light giving me a booking for a demonstration of mediumship 6th August 2024. Angela told me I was welcome to stay with her and David until after the demonstration at The Ray of Light. Angela told me they have trouble getting mediums to travel that far to serve them, the least they could do was put the mediums up, who are prepared to travel to them, I thought this was very kind of Angela and David to accommodate we circuit mediums who serve their church.
I arrived at Angela and David’s home at around 4.45pm 02/08/24, after a nearly 6 hour journey from my home near Winchester. I encountered traffic jams on the M4, which delayed my arrival, I was glad to not be driving, I was given a warm welcome, we had dinner and caught up as I have not seen Angela and David for several years. The next morning the sun was shining, it was a beautiful morning, enhanced by the beautiful welsh countryside and mountains. I took a picture of the landscape as I felt blessed to be there, we had breakfast and I relaxed then meditated to prepare for divine service at 2.30pm. Aberaeron Spiritualist Church is around 200 yards from the seafront, the energy of the sea provides beautiful energy, we arrived at church and Angela and David set about preparing church for divine service, apart from the church they have a separate hall adjacent to the church, which they use as a tea room with table and chairs and a kitchen area, they also use the tea room for workshops which is a great use of the space, and helps promote the family and community of spiritualism, the energy in both buildings was amazing. I felt very comfortable to be working there, to my surprise and delight the church was well attended, also present were Ray and Tina Abbot who I had been Facebook friends with for several years, it was great to meet them in person.
At 2.30pm the service began, for the inspired address I read out my poem far away. talking about grieving for the loss of a loved one, and how we as spiritualists should not hang on to the pain of grief , but to let our loved ones go with love to continue their eternal journey. but also to remember the blessing our loved ones in spirit were to us to help ease the pain of grief and the physical loss of our loved ones. A lady said to me before service, that they talk about some strange things at church but at 2.30pm they will be spiritualists. I added in the address that spirituality is a 24/7 thing not just when we are at church, and that I have the same human frailties as everyone else, but as a spiritualist I know that I am connected to something far greater than myself, that guides me in life, and that I endeavor to put the teachings of spirit into practice in my daily life, to turn my negatives into positives and the through the teachings of spirit. I had been on a journey of self discovery, which to me is true spiritual development, and that all people are in a state of spiritual development whether they are aware of it or not.
It came the time for me to demonstrate mediumship to bring messages from loved ones and life guidance from spirit. I must say I felt my link with spirit was not as strong as it usually is, and felt like I was struggling to connect, note to self do not dink a bottle of wine the night before service. but as the demonstration went on the energy of spirit got stronger and stronger, to my relief and the mediumship flowed, I still felt that I had not worked very well. David told me after service that people enjoyed the way I presented mediumship and were impressed by some of the evidence given, after a cup of coffee and a slice of gateaux, myself and David set the church up ready for my demonstration of transfiguration and trance the following evening. Angela and David very kindly took me out for dinner at a local restaurant, we had a lovely meal, then went back their home and a early night was had by all. Aberaeron is a beautiful welsh seaside town and Aberaeron Spiritualist Church has a beautiful energy within, and I must say the congregation were lovely, with the sunshine I feel truly privileged to have served there.

Transfiguration~TranceAberaeron Spiritualist Church 04/08/24
It was a lazy morningrising around 10am we had coffee and toast , myself and Angela and David were sharing stories from the platform circuit. I enjoy talking with other mediums, about our experiences on the circuit, I could feel my spirit guides energy building around me I knew it was time to be quiet. So I went to my bedroom played my farm town game, and watched a couple of documentaries on YouTube. I always get apprehensive before a trance demonstration, as it is a step into the unknown and very experimental, it was good to be in my own little world for awhile, Angela cooked a marvelous Sunday lunch, then it was time to meditate and shower to prepare for service. We got to Aberaeron Spiritualist Church at 5.15pm, myself and David had set up the cabinet the day before, so all that needed to be done was play my Enya greatest hits CD and switch the red light on to build spirit energy for the demonstration. Angela made me a cup of coffee, I sat in the tearoom quietly and asked Angels, Spirit Guides, and Loved Ones. To draw close to me to prepare for trance, it came the time to walk across to the church, to my surprise and delight the church was full of people 48 in total, David had to put out extra chairs to accommodate everyone.
I gave the sitters a brief spiritual history of myself,and I explained how transfiguration and trance works, then I discussed health and safety rules with them. 1. please turn your phones off as loud noise, will bring me back to my consciousness with a thud, I told them noise had happened before in three previous trance sits, Each time I was ill taking me a week to recover. 2. please do not touch me as it will bring me back into my consciousness hard. 3. if you need to leave for any reason, or you feel ill please raise your hand, and David will ask my spirit guides to step back, when I am back you can leave. 4. Please use the loo now as you will not be able to use the loo during the trance. I opened in prayer and began my countdown into trance state, as I began my countdown, I heard a voice clearly within my mind saying the name John, my spirit guide Li said to me their is a lady here who needs to hear from John. I continued my countdown to trance state.
My consciousness had arrived within my sacred space, a place of unconditional love, it was time to enjoy the peace and connection of this sacred space, awaiting my spirit guides to bring me back into my physical and material consciousness. After awhile I found myself half in my physical consciousness and half in my sacred space, David had asked my spirit guides to step back and allow me into consciousness, as a lady was feeling claustrophobic and wanted to leave, once she had left and David went back to his seat. I was taken back to my sacred space, in no time at all I was back in a half in and half out state, this time a young man was spooked by the church being in darkness except for the red light upon myself and needed to leave. Once the room had settled again I was taken back into my sacred space. and then a third time I was called back because a medium needed to use the loo and several ladies joined her. This time I was not in a half in half out state, I was more or less back into my physical consciousness, I could feel the spirit of a man on the outskirts of my aura, I told the congregation that as I was going into trance I was given the name John, and spirit guide Li had told me that there is a lady here that needs to hear from John. A lady at the back of the church put her hand up saying my husband is John, I endeavored to give the lady a message from John but his energy was very weak, I invited the lady to sit in front of me. As I knew John was desperately trying to communicate with her, but I could not go back to my sacred space, as by this time through the disturbances to the trance, had greatly weakened the energies and my spirit guides with John stepped back, I apologized to the congregation for not being able to continue, explaining why I could not continue, also that I had never before been called back out of trance state before. I closed the meeting in prayer.
I really felt that I had let people down by not being able to continue the trance, but it ended due to extraordinary circumstances by people needing to leave, due to sickness, becoming frightened, or a medium having a weak bladder, the feedback given from some of the people in attendance was largely positive, they witnessed transfiguration, felt the healing energies being generated from the cabinet, saying they felt better than when they walked in. some gaining insight from the teaching given through me by spirit guide Li. All in all I am happy with what was given by spirit through me in trance state. I am very aware that I need to learn the lessons from that trance session, as demonstration of trance to the general public is fraught with danger, and I think spirit made those lessons apparent in that meeting. In future my trance demonstrations will be ticketed to a maximum of 20 people, they will also be vetted as to their physical and mental health, and they are not of a nervous disposition. Also that they are genuine seekers of spiritual truth. I thank spiritfor the lessons learned.
Divine Service Ray of Light Spiritualist Church. Llechryd 06/08/24
Another lazy morning with a lovely breakfast, with spiritual discussion with Angela and David. I went to my room to play my farm town game, and to watch YouTube videos as a way of relaxing before service, I had done most of my packing as I intended to go home after service at Llechryd, as there were road works on the severn bridge causing several miles of tailback, leaving Wales at night time I would avoid the tailback at the severn bridge. Angela cooked a marvelous lunch of lemon chicken pasta and salad, it came the time to shower meditate and load the car ready for service and my journey home. It is only a shot drive to the coracle hall Llechryd, I followed Angela and David in their car, arriving there at 7.10pm, there is a petrol station opposite the hallI took the opportunity to fill up with petrol for my journey home, and parked at the coracle hall. The Lovely Linda Mulvey who runs The Ray Of Light Spiritualist Church, welcomed me to her church, which is a small room within the coracle hall, to my surprise and delight the small room was full of people, most of whom I recognised from the two demonstrations at Aberaeron Spiritualist Church.
The lovelyTina Abbot introduced herself as she was going to be the chairperson for the evening, a gentleman was handing out small scrolls of paper, my scroll read, “Live your life like a candle burning bright with love, so others can see the love in themselves. AR” I thought I must include that in my address, for the address I read out my poem Go I, talking about freewill and grace, and that we should have grace for others as we all make mistakes and do bad things. Having grace for others to me is all about true spiritual development of the soul, I read out the spiritual saying I had been given, I spoke about self love and how spirit need us to shine our inner love light to all.It came the time to give messages from loved ones guides and angels, the messages were positively received, the mediumship was called to time, after noticesand closing prayer, I chatted with a few people thanking them for coming to my services, the feedback about the services I am pleased to say was positive. I gave Angela and David my heartfelt thanks for their amazing hospitality and spiritual chats. Without them the three services could not have taken place, as going home after each service would have been logistically impossible and expensive. I can honestly say it has been a real privilege, to demonstrate at Aberaeron Spiritualist Church and Ray Of Light Spiritualist Church. The hospitality I received, the warmth of the welsh people I met, and the beautiful welsh countryside, I left Wales 9.30pm and arrived home 02.10am.

THOUGHTS
It warmed my heart to see the high level of dedication that Angela and David Brigenshaw, and Linda Mulvey, have in running the Aberaeron and Ray Of Light Spiritualist Churches. It was refreshing to be in the company of dedicated spiritualists, spirit need dedication and commitment not only from we mediums and healers, but also those dedicated and selfless people who run the churches, who keep the doors of the churches open. to facilitate the spiritual seeker, through these dedicated people welsh light shines brightly for all who seek spiritual truth. It was also refreshing to see a mixture of age groups in both churches, hopefully the youngsters will carry the light of spirit into the future, when we have passed into the higher realms, whilst it was a privilege to serve both churches it was also massive a learning curve for me.
There was discussion about how ignorant people have become about spirit communication, and I agree the most haunted tv program and the ghost hunting business that sprang from it, coupled with celebrity and showbiz spiritualism, has done a lot to damage peoples perceptions of mediums and spirit communication, and spiritualist churches. People are ignorant due to a lack of knowledge being shared, about how spirit communication works, and the spiritual development that is necessary on both sides of life, to achieve accurate and meaningful spirit communication. Not only to provide evidence of survival after physical death, but also to give messages of guidance healing and comfort to those who need it, also allowing spirit guides to share the truths of eternal life, to help us develop new ways of thinking being and doing, raising consciousness to help better our lives and our eternal path.
Every time I demonstrate mediumship now,I ask people not to stare at me with a blank faced, or to start gurning at me with arms folded when receiving a message from spirit. As this is very unsettling for the medium and the spirit communicator, I usually remind them that I have done a days work, and travelled however many miles to be there, and the fact is I am getting petrol money, it is not a celebrity show where they have paid a lot of money to get in, so I tell them there is nothing in it for me I am there to bring spirit to them. All we need from them when they get a message, yes, no, or I do not understand. So I can ask spirit for clarification on what they are giving me, so that the receiver of the message can identify the spirit communicator and the information being given. Once upon a time we did not need to tell people this, but more and more mediums and chairpersons, are having to tell congregations at every service, to turn their phones off and to answer yes or no or I do not understand when receiving a message. Back in the day there were only spiritualist churches, which attracted the genuine spiritual seeker, now mediums are demonstrating in pubs and trying to get theatre gigs, this adds to the showbiz mentality of those who attend right I have paid my money now I want to be entertained, and all this belittles genuine mediumsand the development put in by both sides of the veil to achieve good spirit communication.
As discussed above, the transfiguration and trance sit at Aberaeron Spiritualist Church, was a massive learning curve for myself Angela and David, inviting the general public many of whom had never been to a transfiguration and trance demonstration was a mistake. on all our parts. my spirit guides told me that the church would be full, but we did not expect 48 people, Aberaeron is a small church so with 51 people in total the church was bursting at the seams. As discussed above the transfiguration and trance was cut short, due to 3 stoppages in the demonstration, I am pleased the people who needed to leave or use the loo, followed the safety protocols put in place, by raising their hands, David asking spirit to step back, worked but in the end spirit energy was insufficient to continue, I decided the next day after discussion with Angela and David, that I would limit future transfiguration and trance sits to 20 people and make it a ticketed event, to attract the more genuine spiritual seeker to attend. With stricter controls in place, I feel strongly we need to educate people about spirit communication and how it all works, so these problems do not arise again, and to teach people that a demonstration of mediumship, is not Saturday night at the london Palladium. Whilst my time in Wales was a privilege and a total blessing, I am thankful for the lessons learned.
13th November 2023. My Friend Lisa Ann Horner contacted me, to ask if I would travel to Northern Ireland , to give a demonstration of transfiguration and trance, at her friends spiritual holistic shop called Zen in Broughshane Northern Ireland. Her call came completely out of the blue, as I had not seen or heard of her for a good eleven years, when I last visited her in Plymouthin 2013. Lisa told me that she had moved from Plymouth to Northern Ireland, remarried and settled down, she was running spiritual awareness courses at Zen, and my name had come up in conversation, we caught up on old times and I accepted Lisa’s invitation to demonstrate transfiguration and trance. we agreed the date for the demonstration to be 30th January 2024. Lisa also kindly invited me to stay at her home. I booked the time off work three days, one day for travel and rest and to visit Paul Mccormick in his Zen shop, a day to set up build energy for transfiguration and trance, and to give the demonstration, and to travel home on the third day.
29th January 2024, the day had come for me to fly to Belfast City Airport. I could not take all my trance equipment with me, as my chair and red light was to big to go into my small suitcase, and my luggage would have been over the weight restrictions for the flight, so I had to improvise. I bought a small clip on light fitting to house my red bulb, the idea being we could put a cardboard box with a hole in it over the red light, to focus the red light into the cabinet. My cabinet is a wolfwise privacy tent which folds in a bag, and I could take that onboard the aircraft as hand luggage, my germanium crystal which I hang in the cabinet to conduct spirit energy. My black chair cover fitted nicely in my suitcase, total weight of my luggage was 12kg so well within flight weight limits, it was an early flight 08.45am. I had to be at Southampton Airport 2 hours before flight, my wife dropped me off at the airport for 06.30am, I checked my bags in and went through security with no problems. In the departures lounge a costa coffee shop was open, I treated myself to an americano and a hot sausage roll. I am nervous of flying, I usually have a couple of drinks to fortify me for the flight. A bar was open a few people were having a drink, I thought shall I but then the realisation came it was to early in the morning for a drink even for me. I did not want to meet my friends at Belfast City smelling of Bells whiskey, this thought made me chuckle as it was good to let go of my old ways.
My flight was delayed by 25 minutes, we took off at 09.10am. As the aircraft climbed with me staring out of the window, I could not see anything due to cloud, but looking out of the window when in flight gives me a sense of control, daft I know but it helps. I remember feeling so very blessed and grateful, that I was taking this journey to give a demonstration of transfiguration and trance in Broughshane Northern Ireland. It took me back to 1983 when I started demonstrating mediumship in spiritualist churches, I remember saying to my spirit guides at the time, let’s see where this journey takes us. Throughout all the highs and lows of my life my spirit guides have stood by me, I felt truly blessed that my spirit guides are guiding my path of spiritual service, to where I do not know I have no expectation on my path, as I had no expectation in 1983. I am happy to be a leaf on the spirit breeze, landing I know not where, but wherever I land it is where I am meant to be. I still get the same sense of excitement when I get invited to demonstrate somewhere new, as I did in 1983.
We landed at Belfast City at 10.40am I collected my luggage and met Lisa and her husband Mark who drove me to their home. It was great to catch up with Lisa and reminisce on old times, Lisa advised me that the 20 people who had bought tickets for the demonstration, where all spiritual seekers who had sat in her awareness circle at Zen. Lisa advised that most of them had never seen transfiguration and trance, as trance mediumship is something that is not done in Northern Ireland. I have friends In Ireland who are Trance Healers, but trance mediumship is not known in Ireland. This is a shame and I hope my visit will inspire people to develop trance mediumship, in Ireland as a whole, because it is a unique form of spiritcommunication, where spirit guides and loved ones can be seen and spoken to.
30/01/2024 After a good night’s sleep and breakfast I felt rested, I sat in Lisa’s dining room where she gives readings, the energy in the dining room was high vibrational, a great place to sit and discuss spirit and allow my spirit guides to draw close to prepare for the demonstration that evening. I felt a sense of excitement from my spirit guides, this lets me know my spirit guides are looking forward to communicating to the earth plane. I had forgotten to bring my business cards to hand out to those in attendance, through the power of microsoft publisher and Lisa and Mark’s kindness, new business cards and question cards for the sitters were made up using their printer. We found a cardboard box and customised it for the red light. I had a light lunch as it is always best to have an empty stomach for trance, as a full stomach can create a block for the spirit communicators. We loaded Lisa’s car with trance kit and headed to Zen in Broughshane.
Arriving at Zen at 17.30pm. I must say I was impressed with Zen the energy within was warm and welcoming, the shop was full of crystals of every description and spiritual items, I met Paul Mccormick the owner and introduced myself, thanking him for allowing me and my spirit team to demonstrate at Zen. Paul is a Reiki Master who channels Reiki Healing at Zen, his energy is of a powerful loving kind vibration a man who is dedicated to the upliftment of others, through healing and teaching. We had the cabinet and red light set up by 18.00pm, we played Enya’s greatest hits to help raise the energy for my spirit guides to communicate in. All attendees had arrived by 19.05pm, I gave a little talk about myself the do’s and dont’s of trance. I asked people to switch their phones off. As any sudden noises could bring me back to quickly and rip the spirit guide from my aura, sure enough as I had just spoken of the dangers of noise to me and spirit, a ladies phone went off she apologised, I repeated the dangers of sudden noise to me and spirit. As twice people have made noise, and twice the spirit guide has been ripped from my aura, and I have come back hard. Making me feel physically ill and I had to take a week off work each time. My spirit guides have advised me, that when this happens it is very unhealthy for them, as they are vibrating at a more physical level and it hurts them, and have to recover themselves after being forcibly removed from the mediums auric field. I gave an opening prayer and did my internal countdown to a trance state. When I returned to my consciousness when my spirit guides had stood back, I saw many attendees sat open mouthed and I thought yes they have not witnessed transfiguration and trance before. I answered questions from attendees, and I must say I enjoyed answering their questions.
Transfiguration & Trance Report Zen Broughshane Northern Ireland 30/01/24
Last evening Stephen demonstrated too an audience of 20 people. It was an evening of unexpected remarkable experience which non of us had come across before. Stephens physical form changed, his face became elongated more defined and hair was black.( he’s grey as a ghost). Questions where delivered to the entity /guide and answered with direct concise response. Lights were witnessed around Stephen whilst he channeled.It was very apparent to all present that an Entity/Guide sat before us. Each member of the audience remarked afterwards what an awe inspiring experience we had just witnessed.
We hope Stephen will take up the invite to revisit.

Transfiguration & Trance Report Zen Broughshane Northern Ireland 30/01/24
On Tuesday I was grateful to have the opportunity of watching Stephen Rowlands at his demonstration in Broughshane , Northern Ireland. Before Stephen began his demonstration, he took the time to explain how he worked with spirit, gave us the opportunity to ask spirit a question. I was very lucky to be right at the front with a fantastic view. As Stephen began his demonstration you could slowly see changes in his appearance. As the demonstration continued you could see the transfiguration and spirit working with Stephen, the changes in his appearance, especially his face. I could see the build up of spirit mist flowing outwards from the tent Stephen was sitting in. Spirit was also moving within the tent and room, you could feel their energy, I felt spirit touch my leg. Spirit began to give much healing, I went very warm and could feel the love and warmth within my heart as spirit surrounded us all with love and healing energy. It was a pleasure to get to watch Stephen not only did he explain in detail the whole process before he began his demonstration, he also took the time after his demonstration to answer questions and help others with any guidance they needed. I have to say such a lovely humble gentleman, spirit very much shone and so did Stephen, if you get the opportunity to go to one of Stephens demonstrations, you will thoroughly enjoy it.
Thank you & spirit for a wonderful evening Stephen.
