News on Physical Mediumship in your area.

Pathway to Spirit, via Joan Hughes is committed to promoting physical mediumship.  Over the coming months we intend to expand the website to include articles on physical mediums, some well known, for example , and other mediums, less well know.

These county pages will be devoted to local groups where physical mediumship is of interest, and also provide a place for publication of physical circle activity.

Please feel free to send us an update from you circle's activities and let us have any news or articles you think relevant to physical mediumship.  Contact Joan Hughes for advice on sitting in physical circles.

Nothing to post for this area as yet.  In the meantime here is an extract from one of my favorite books, "The Power of Now".

Strengthening The Immune System

Another benefit of this practice in the physical realm is a great strengthening of the immune system which occurs when you inhabit the body. The more consciousness you bring into the body the stronger the immune system becomes. It is as if every cell awakens and rejoices. The body loves your attention. It is also a potent form of self healing. Most illnesses creep in when you are not present in the body. If the master is not present in the house all kinds of shady characters will take up residence there. When you inhabit your body it will be hard for unwanted guests to enter. It is not only your physical immune system that becomes strengthened; your psychic immune system is greatly enhanced as well. The latter protects you from the negative mental-emotional force fields of others which are highly contagious. Inhabiting the body protects you not by putting up a shield but by raising the frequency vibration of your total energy field so that anything that vibrates at a lower frequency such as fear anger depression and so on now exists in what is virtually a different order of reality. It doesn't enter your field of consciousness anymore or if it does you don't need to offer any resistance to it because it passes right through you. Please don't just accept or reject what I am saying. Put it to the test. There is a simple but powerful self-healing meditation that you can do whenever you feel the need to boost your immune system. It is particularly effective if used when you feel the first symptoms of an illness but it also works with illnesses that are already entrenched if you use it at frequent intervals and with an intense focus. It will also counteract any disruption of your energy field by some form of negativity. However it is not a substitute for the moment-to-moment practice of being in the body otherwise its effect will only be temporary. Here it is. When you are unoccupied for a few minutes and especially last thing at night before falling asleep and first thing in the morning before getting up flood your body with consciousness. Close your eyes. Lie flat on your back. Choose different parts of your body to focus your attention on briefly at first: hands feet arms legs abdomen chest head and so on. Feel the life energy inside those parts as intensely as you can. Stay with each part for fifteen seconds or so. Then let your attention run through the body like a wave a few times from feet to head and back again. This need only take a minute or so. After that feel the inner body in its totality as a single field of energy. Hold that feeling for a few minutes. Be intensely present during that time present in every cell of your body. Don't be concerned if the mind occasionally succeeds in drawing your attention out of the body and you lose yourself in some thought. As soon as you notice that this has happened just return your attention to the inner body.

Let The Breath Take You Into The Body

At times when my mind has been very active it has acquired such momentum that Ifnd it impossible to take my attention away from it and feel the inner body. This happens particularly when I get into a worry or anxiety pattern. Do you have any suggestions?

If at any time you are finding it hard to get in touch with the inner body it is usually easier to focus on your breathing first. Conscious breathing which is a powerful meditation in its own right will gradually put you in touch with the body. Follow the breath with your attention as it moves in and out of your body. Breathe into the body and feel your abdomen expanding and contracting slightly with each inhalation and exhalation. If you find it easy to visualize close your eyes and see yourself surrounded by light or immersed in a luminous substance - a sea of consciousness. Then breathe in that light. Feel that luminous substance filling up your body and malting it luminous also. Then gradually focus more on the feeling. You are now in your body. Don't get attached to any visual image.

Creative Use Of Mind

But Occultism has more than this to teach us on the subject. It tells us not only that all this wonderful system to which we belong is called into existence by the Logos both on lower and on higher planes but also that its relation to Him is closer even than that for it is absolutely a part of Him - a partial expression of Him upon the physical plane - and that the movement and energy of the whole system is his energy and is all carried on within the limits of his aura. Stupendous as this conception is it will yet not be wholly unthinkable to those of us who have made any study of the subject of the aura.

We are familiar with the idea that as a person progresses on the upward path his causal body which is the determining limit of his aura distinctly increases in size as well as in luminosity and purity of colour. Many of us know from experience that the aura of a pupil who has already made considerable advance on the Path is very much larger than that of one who is but just setting his foot upon its first step while in the case of an Adept the proportional increase is far greater still. We read in quite exoteric Oriental scriptures of the immense extension of the aura of the Buddha; I think that three miles is mentioned on one occasion as its limit but whatever the exact measurement may be it is obvious that we have here another record of this fact of the extremely rapid growth of the causal body as [Page 92] man passes on his upward way. There can be little doubt that the rate of this growth would itself increase in geometrical progression so that it need not surprise us to hear of an Adept on a still higher level whose aura is capable of including the entire world at once; and from this we may gradually lead our minds up to the conception that there is a Being so exalted as to comprehend within Himself the whole of our solar system. And we should remember that enormous as this seems to us it is but as the tiniest drop in the vast ocean of space.

So of the Logos (who has in Him all the capacities and qualities with which we can possibly endow the highest God we can imagine) it is literally true as was said of old that "of Him and through Him and to Him are all things" and "in Him we live and move and have our being".

Now if this be so it is clear that whatever happens within our system happens absolutely within the consciousness of its Logos and so we at once see that the true record must be His memory; and furthermore it is obvious that on whatever plane that wondrous memory exists it cannot but be far above anything that we know and consequently whatever records we may find ourselves able to read must be only a reflection of that great dominant fact mirrored in the denser media of the lower planes.

On the astral plane it is at once evident that this is so - that what we are dealing with is only a reflection of a reflection and an exceedingly imperfect one for such [Page 93] records as can be reached there are fragmentary in the extreme and often seriously distorted. We know how universally water is used as a symbol of the astral light and in this particular case it is a remarkably apt one. From the surface of still water we may get a clear reflection of the surrounding objects just as from a mirror; but at the best it is only a reflection - a representation in two dimensions of three-dimensional objects and therefore differing in all its qualities except colour from that which it represents; and in addition to this it is always reversed.

But let the surface of the water be ruffled by the wind and what do we find then? A reflection still certainly but so broken up and distorted as to be quite useless or even misleading as a guide to the shape and real appearance of the objects reflected. Here and there for a moment we might happen to get a clear reflection of some minute part of the scene - of a single leaf from a tree for example; but it would need long labour and considerable knowledge of natural laws to build up anything like a true conception of the object reflected by putting together even a large number of such isolated fragments of an image of it.

Now in the astral plane we can never have anything approaching to what we have imaged as a still surface but on the contrary we have always to deal with one in rapid and bewildering motion; judge therefore how little we can depend upon getting a clear and definite reflection. Thus a clairvoyant who possesses only the faculty of astral sight can never rely upon any [Page 94] picture of the past that comes before him as being accurate and perfect; here and there some part of it may be so but he has no means of knowing which it is. If he is under the care of a competent teacher he may by long and careful training be shown how to distinguish between reliable and unreliable impressions and to construct from the broken reflections some kind of image of the object reflected; but usually long before he has mastered those difficulties he will have developed the mental sight which renders such labour unnecessary.
