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.

Notice Board for this Area

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".

Please try it now. You may find it helpful to close your eyes for this practice. Later on when "being in the body' has become natural and easy this will no longer be necessary. Direct your attention into the body. Feel it from within. Is it alive? Is there life in your hands arms legs and feet - in your abdomen your chest? Can you feel the subtle energy field that pervades the entire body and gives vibrant life to every organ and every cell? Can you feel it simultaneously in all parts of the body as a single field of energy? Keep focusing on the feeling of your inner body for a few moments. Do not start to think about it. Feel it. The more attention you give it the clearer and stronger this feeling will become. It will feel as if every cell is becoming more alive and if you have a strong visual sense you may get an image of your body becoming luminous. Although such an image can help you temporarily pay more attention to the feeling than to any image that may arise. An image no matter how beautiful or powerful is already defined in form so there is less scope for penetrating more deeply. The feeling of your inner body is formless limitless and unfathomable. You can always go into it more deeply. If you cannot feel very much at this stage pay attention to whatever you can feel. Perhaps there is just a slight tingling in your hands or feet. That's good enough for the moment. Just focus on the feeling. Your body is coming alive. Later we will practice some more. Please open your eyes now but keep some attention in the inner energy field of the body even as you look around the room. The inner body lies at the threshold between your form identity and your essence identity your true nature. Never lose touch with it.

Transformation Through The Body

Why have most religions condemned or denied the body? It seems that spiritual seekers have always regarded the body as a hindrance or even as sinful.

Why have so few seekers become finders? On the level of the body humans are very close to animals. All the basic bodily functions - pleasure pain breathing eating drinking defecating sleeping the drive to find a mate and procreate and of course birth and death - we share with the animals. A long time after their fall from a state of grace and oneness into illusion humans suddenly woke up in what seemed to be an animal body - and they found this very disturbing. "Don't fool yourself. You are no more than an animal." This seemed to be the truth that was staring them in the face. But it was too disturbing a truth to tolerate. Adam and Eve saw that they were naked and they became afraid. Unconscious denial of their animal nature set in very quickly. The threat that they might be taken over by powerful instinctual drives and revert back to complete unconsciousness was indeed a very real one. Shame and taboos appeared around certain parts of the body and bodily functions especially sexuality. The light of their consciousness was not yet strong enough to make friends with their animal nature to allow it to be and even enjoy that aspect of themselves - let alone to go deeply into it to find the divine hidden within it the reality within the illusion. So they did what they had to do. They began to disassociate from their body. They now saw themselves as having a body rather than just being it. When religions arose this disassociation became even more pronounced as the "you are not your body' belief. Countless people in East and West throughout the ages have tried to find God salvation or enlightenment through denial of the body. This took the form of denial of sense pleasures and of sexuality in particular fasting and other ascetic practices. They even inflicted pain on the body in an attempt to weaken or punish it because they regarded it as sinful. In Christianity this used to be called mortification of the flesh. Others tried to escape from the body by entering trance states or seeking outof-the-body experiences. Many still do. Even the Buddha is said to have practiced body denial through fasting and extreme forms of asceticism for six years but he did not attain enlightenment until after he had given up this practice. The fact is that no one has ever become enlightened through denying or fighting the body or through an out-of-the-body experience. Although such an experience can be fascinating and can give you a glimpse of the state of liberation from the material form in the end you will always have to return to the body where the essential work of transformation takes place. Transformation is through the body not away from it. This is why no true master has ever advocated fighting or leaving the body although their mind-based followers often have. Of the ancient teachings concerning the body only certain fragments survive such as Jesus' statement that "your whole body will be filled with light or they survive as myths such as the belief that Jesus never relinquished his body but remained one with it and ascended into heaven" with it. Almost no one to this day has understood those fragments or the hidden meaning of certain myths and the "you are not your body' belief has prevailed universally leading to body denial and attempts to escape from the body. Countless seekers have thus been prevented from attaining spiritual realization for themselves and becoming finders.

Is it possible to recover the lost teachings on the significance of the body or to reconstruct them from the existing fragments?

There is no need for that. All spiritual teachings originate from the same Source. In that sense there is and always has been only one master who manifests in many different forms. I am that master and so are you once you are able to access the Source within. And the way to it is through the inner body. Although all spiritual teachings originate from the same Source once they become verbalized and written down they are obviously no more than collections of words - and a word is nothing but a signpost as we talked about earlier. All such teachings are signposts pointing the way back to the Source. I have already spoken of the Truth that is hidden within your body but I will summarize for you again the lost teachings of the masters - so here is another signpost. Please endeavor to feel your inner body as you read or listen.

Clairvoyance Wiltshire

Sometimes these glimpses of the superphysical faculty come as waking visions and sometimes they manifest during sleep as vivid or oft-repeated dreams. In this latter case the sight employed is perhaps usually of kind assigned to our fourth subdivision of clairvoyance in space for the sleeping man often travels in his astral body to some spot with which his affections or interests are closely connected and simply watches what takes place there; in the former it seems probable that the second type of clairvoyance by means of the astral [Page 79] current is called into requisition. But in this case the current or tube is formed quite unconsciously and is often the automatic result of a strong thought or emotion projected from one end or the other - either from the seer or the person who is seen.

The simplest plan will be to give a few instances of the different kinds and to intersperse among them such further explanations as may seem necessary. Mr. Stead has collected a large and varied assortment of recent and well-authenticated cases in his Real Ghost Stories and I will select some of my examples from them occasionally condensing slightly to save space.

There are cases in which it is at once obvious to any Theosophical student that the exceptional instance of clairvoyance was specially brought about by one of the band whom we have called "Invisible Helpers" in order that aid might be rendered to some one in sore need. To this class undoubtedly belongs the story told by Captain Yonnt of the Napa Valley in California to Dr. Bushnell who repeats it in his Nature and the Supernatural (page 14).

"About six or seven years previous in a midwinter's night he had a dream in which he saw what appeared to be a company of emigrants arrested by the snows of the mountains and perishing rapidly by cold and hunger. He noted the very cast of the scenery marked by a huge perpendicular front of white rock cliff; he saw the men cutting off what appeared to be treetops rising out of deep gulfs of snow; he distinguished the [Page 80] very features of the persons and the look of their particular distress.

"He awoke profoundly impressed by the distinctness and apparent reality of the dream. He at length fell asleep and dreamed exactly the same dream over again. In the morning he could not expel it from his mind. Falling in shortly after which an old hunter comrade he told his story and was only the more deeply impressed by his recognizing without hesitation the scenery of the dream. This comrade came over the Sierra by the Carson Valley Pass and declared that a spot in the Pass exactly answered his description.

"By this the unsophistical patriarch was decided. He immediately collected a company of men with mules and blankets and all necessary provisions. The neighbours were laughing meantime at this credulity. 'No matter' he said 'I am able to do this and I will for I verily believe that the fact is according to my dream'. The men were sent into the mountains one hundred and fifty miles distant direct to the Carson Valley Pass. And there they found the company exactly in the condition of the dream and brought in the remnant alive".

Since it is not stated that Captain Yonnt was in the habit of seeing visions it seems clear that some helper observing the forlorn condition of the emigrant party took the nearest impressionable and otherwise suitable person (who happened to be the Captain) to the spot in the astral body and aroused him sufficiently to fix the scene firmly in his memory. The helper may [Page 81] possibly have arranged an "astral current" for the Captain instead but the former suggestion is more probable. At any rate the motive and broadly the method of the work are obvious enough in this case.
