If you are new to healing, spiritual development or exploring faith alongside spirituality, there are some wonderful resources available online that can help you learn more in your own time and at your own pace.
Bible Gateway is a well-known online Bible resource where you can read, search and study scripture in a wide range of translations. Whether you are looking for comfort, guidance, inspiration or simply wish to explore the teachings of Christianity more deeply, it provides an easy and accessible way to spend time with the Bible from wherever you are.
We have also included a link to Christian Spiritualism, a website dedicated to exploring the connection between Christianity and spiritualism. (This will include the archives of THE ZODIAC MESSAGES ) The site shares information on spiritual healing, mediumship, churches, events and spiritual philosophy, helping visitors better understand how faith, healing and communication with the spirit world have been approached within Christian Spiritualism for many years.
Rob Harvey explained and demonstrated just how close spirit can get last night in Chawton, with the help of those who sit in Circle. Thank you! A lovely evening chaired beautifully by our own gal Sarah Dorgan
I have been watching the bumblebees favour a particular wildflower growing through the cracks of my patio. She has been growing in complete wild abandon this year, I might add. The bees just keep coming and coming to her, and I found myself wondering why this flower, in particular, was so favoured.
The flower is Linaria purpurea, originally from Italy but brought to the UK in the 1700s. She also has the wonderful common name of Purple Toadflax. With a name like that, it was enough to entice me to search further.
Although originally introduced and cultivated in the UK, she, like so many others, became an escapee and can now be found growing in the poorest of soils and in the most unlikely places of wasteland, like my patio!
The bees love her, especially the ‘Bumbles’ because their weight allows them to press down the lower lip of the two-lipped bloom and reach the rich treasure of nectar that so many other pollinators simply cannot get to. Bees, in general, are also drawn to that beautiful purple-blue colour.
Folklore has had a field day with this flower. The two-lipped flower resembles a toad’s mouth, giving her common name. Of course, she is associated with the faeries and their hidden treasures, but she also carries symbolism of protection, resilience, and even the breaking of hexes!
She must indeed be a treasure, for I have watched the bumblebees visit her from dawn’s early light right through until dusk on these beautiful summer days.
We gathered again last night in Chawton after one of those glorious summer days. Rob Harvey, our President, gave an address on just how close spirit can be. He then shared a little clairvoyance, with education and demonstration, with the help of some of the people who sit in Circle. It is a wonderful way for the whole family to understand, at a deeper level, just how close and real the other realms truly are.
Thank you, Rob, and thank you to Sarah Dorgan, who chaired the evening so beautifully. It was such a lovely, relaxed evening.
Thank you to our readers and prayer people, who help to build the energy. Thank you, Carole, for another delicious cake, and thank you to everyone who helps with hospitality. Thank you, Julie, for the music, to our wonderful healers, and to everyone who helps with setting up and packing away afterwards.
Prayer of the Week
Another heatwave is on its way. Please hold in your prayers all those who are vulnerable, people, their beloved companion animals, and don’t forget our wildlife and all animals. Yes the bees and the little ones too. They all need hydration. Prayers for all. Thank you.
Calendar up tomorrow.
Drink before thirst, take care in the heat, and enjoy these beautiful sunny days and heavenly blue skies!
There have been some fascinating discussions recently on the Rob Harvey Life After Death blog, covering everything from haunted houses and proof of the spirit world to the power of absent healing.
If you’ve missed any of the latest articles, here’s a quick roundup.
Are Ghosts Really Responsible for Everything That Happens in a Haunted House?
When strange things begin happening in a house, many people immediately assume that a ghost must be responsible. But is that always the case?
In this blog, Rob explains why it is important to approach paranormal experiences with both an open mind and common sense. Not every unusual noise, feeling or event has a spiritual cause. Sometimes there may be perfectly ordinary explanations, while at other times there may genuinely be spiritual activity taking place.
Rob shares his thoughts on how to tell the difference and why jumping to conclusions can sometimes cause unnecessary fear.
One of the most common questions Rob is asked is, “If ghosts are real, where is the proof?”
In this thought-provoking article, Rob discusses why proving the existence of ghosts can be so difficult. Drawing on his own experiences of helping people remove unwanted spirits from homes, he explains that often the strongest evidence comes from the personal experiences of those involved.
The challenge, however, is that many people who have experienced paranormal activity prefer to keep it private.
Can healing really take place when someone is miles away?
In this latest blog, Rob explores the principles behind absent healing and explains how healing can be offered both in person and at a distance. The article looks at the role of loved ones in spirit, why many people feel a deep sense of peace during healing, and why keeping an open mind is so important.
Whether you are completely new to spiritual healing or have experienced it before, this article offers a fascinating insight into one of the most beautiful aspects of spiritual work.
There is always something new to discover on the Rob Harvey Life After Death blog. Whether you are interested in ghosts, mediumship, healing or life after death, we hope these articles encourage you to continue exploring the many mysteries of the spirit world.
