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.
A foggy morning earlier today, but still with a glow of autumn sunlight that cheered the soul on a decidedly chilly day.
The recent downpours have created the dampness we know so well, but don’t love quite so well! And the magical fungi are making their appearance in our woodlands.
There is no end of bracket fungus, and one type, ‘Chicken of the Woods,’ is growing out of tree trunks like plates, as if there’s no tomorrow! Their bright, light orangey colour is just perfect for the seasonal feel, but they can be parasites when growing on living trees.
Unlike us, fungi love the damp, as moisture is essential for their growth and reproduction. She gets her name from a reputation as an edible fungus, with a texture and taste often compared to chicken. BUT I wouldn’t get adventurous unless I was absolutely certain of her identification and knew she was safe to eat. Deer love this fungus, as do slugs, snails, and beetles. Well, enjoy, everyone! I’ll take a pass, thank you very much! Some things are best left!
*Spiritually, fungi can signify resilience and transformation, and breaking through constriction.
The sky is a brilliant blue again, and I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop! We have been so fortunate with our weather, but now we are in mid-October, and the chilliness is just now beginning to set in.
Last night, after all the downpours and damp, Sarah McLaughlan came to visit us in Chawton. What a lovely evening! Sarah shared her beautiful thoughts, reminding us that children are the future and represent the innocence needed in this world. She then shared some truly amazing clairvoyance! Thank you so much, Sarah! Alison Keogh chaired our evening.
We sang Happy Birthday to Carole and were in fine voice. Of course, Carole had made a delicious chocolate cake for us! Thank you to all our hospitality gals. Thank you to our readers and healers, as well as everyone who helps set up and breaks down at the end of the evening.
Oh, and the poppies are back, and are now available for a small donation!
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Please pray for those suffering from starvation in our world.
It is unfathomable that hunger and starvation still exist because of political unrest, extreme climate and social factors. There IS enough food in the world to feed all.
Well, the temperatures are certainly changing, with a chill in the air early in the morning and again in the early evening. The darker evenings have already crept in, and I see the ‘Big Birds’ are arriving again at the bird table after not being seen for dust during the summer! The usual suspects are Mr wood pigeon, the magpies and the jackdaws, all making their presence known once more.
I have also been shooing a few scuttling hedgehogs out of the residential roads. And boy can they run fast for such prickly little hogs! They are busy getting themselves ready for The Big Sleep. All this whilst those leaves are turning from green ever so slowly, so it looks as though the autumn colours will arrive in earnest a little later this year.
On a clear, crisp night, without a cloud in sight, the constellations stand out as clearly as can be against the nights sky. It has, of course, become time for hot drinks, soup and comfort, and I am certainly not complaining!
All seasons have their own unique magic, and this autumnal time is no exception.
We had a busy weekend, as Saturday evening, Rob gave a talk in Chawton on Ghosts and Spirit Attachments and then took many questions. It was a very good night!
Gillian Blaise came to visit Sunday night in Chawton. The energy was just beautiful as Gillian shared such lovely thoughts and brought some truly beautiful messages. Thank you so much!! The calm, cool and collected Chris Shore kept us in order as our chair. Thank you Chris.
Always thanks due to the family for their readings and prayers. Chris had also made cake which was enjoyed by all. Healing followed the service. Thank you. Thanks to all, as always, for set up and break down of our gathering!
We gathered Wednesday evening again, to take that pause in the middle of the week. Thank you, everyone, for the thoughts and prayers. Healing continued afterwards
Please continue to pray for the animals of this world.
