May 2012 saw the first sitting of a new mediumship development circle in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

We sit in Liz's fully blacked-out converted garage. I sit as the medium with Liz as sitter and we are sometimes joined by other guest sitters.

We treat each sitting as an experiment with no expectations from us and ask our Spirit Team to work with us in the most efficient way to produce evidential mediumship to help us understand ourselves and the bigger picture.

Each sitting is recorded, I transcribe the recording verbatim and include in the final report of the transcript any additional unrecorded experiences that Liz and myself remembered from the sitting.

I publish these reports to give people the opportunity to read or listen to the communications and hopefully increase their own understandings.

I welcome any comments or questions and my contact email is nickp7871@gmail.com

It's up to the reader to make up their own mind as to the source of the communications and phenomena reported and hopefully be inspired to set up a development circle to get their own experiences...

18th Sitting 24/09/2012


It was just Liz and me again this week as Dan was working abroad.
We set up the room the same with Liz opposite the cabinet against the far wall.

Liz opened with a prayer at 8.30pm. She put the music on and the red light out.

After 10 minutes there were noises from the cabinet and the usual ‘all of us here’


Liz could see lots of stars in the middle of the room, particularly around the trumpet.

After about 15 minutes there was lip smacking from the cabinet followed by various voices. They seemed to be trying hard to say something but the words were coming through muddled. It sounded like… ‘Heal whole world, we walk on whole world, bridge gap between worlds, we can come through in this way…’


(A couple of thumps came out on the recording at 6.25 mins)

Five minutes later there were more voices from the cabinet. The pitch of the voice got higher and there were some ‘hellos’ which on listening to the recording sound very similar to Emily who speaks through Syann in the Mercury Star Circle!!! The voice then seemed to change. Liz asked who it was trying to come through but they were having trouble speaking coherently tonight…


Things were quiet in the cabinet for the next 25 minutes.

Liz commented that she could see ‘doorways of light’ opening in the room.

Then there was more lip smacking followed by random words and different voices. Again nothing really coherent was said…


As the last communicator withdrew I was aware that the final tune was playing and so I concentrated on bringing myself back.
When Liz asked if I was okay at the end I thought I was but then felt I clearly wasn’t completely back.
I felt very fuzzy, shaky and distant. It felt like I wasn’t quite connected with my physical body but at the same time I was aware and could talk to Liz.

Liz put the red light on dimly then did the closing/healing prayer including a short breathing/visualization exercise at the end by which time I was fully back and felt my ‘normal’ self.

Liz said that she had been aware of a vibration like heavy footsteps during the sitting.

I had been in and out of it during the evening. At times I had felt totally awake and it seemed like the team had stepped back. At other times the energy and team’s presence had been very strong. I had felt myself being taken down but had then jerked back up again. There were periods when I had been completely out of it and at one point I remember feeling like I had stood up and a large stone door in front of me had opened and I stepped out. I remember a strange smell and taste in my mouth and at times I was hot and other times cold.

The following day I had a chat about this to Syann and she came up with the following…

Syann’s Theory…

...I've got this theory.... That when they work on getting us deeper, they have to then learn how to keep us there, and that doesn't always happen easily... So last night with you for instance, they took you deeper, but now they have to get that state stabilised.... That would explain the 'ups and downs' and 'ins and outs' that we feel....
...I reckon what you describe there about the feeling of going down, but then being jerked out of it, is the same as I feel sometimes... I reckon it's because it's still exciting to feel that pull to go deeper, so you recognise it as being something exciting and that triggers the conscious mind.... Once that's whirring, they have to step back and wait till we relax again, then they move in closer.....They won’t take us deeper until we are used to each step down, and don't react to it...

Here’s a short clip of Emily speaking through Syann in July 2012 and a clip from this sitting of what sounds like Emily through me.
You decided if it’s the same communicator…


17th Sitting 17/09/2012


Sadly Dan had to work this week so it was just Liz and me in the garage.

Last Thursday in the MSC, Clyde had suggested we get a healing book for the garage and Liz had bought one which we placed on a table in the far left corner. Both Liz and I put some names in it.

Liz sat against the far wall opposite the cabinet.
She opened at 8.30pm, turned out the lights and put the music on.

After five minutes there were lip-smacking noises from the cabinet.
Liz could see lots of blue shapes and whirling white energy in the room.

The lip-smacking developed into a few voice noises and the familiar ‘All of us here’
Liz asked if only having one sitter made a difference to the energy and they said they were able to adjust energy to suit whatever number of sitters in room…


Ten minutes later there was more lip-smacking followed by various voices, some getting louder and excited.  ‘hello lady, hello lady…’ 
They appreciated the healing book in the room saying it will enable them to focus the healing intent on the people in the book…


For the next 30 minutes things were quiet outside the cabinet. Liz didn’t report seeing, hearing or feeling anything.

Inside the cabinet I began feeling tingly all over and unable to move.
I felt tears running down my cheeks and my nose was running.
I could see lots of light shining through my closed eye lids.

The next thing I remember was being on an orange/brown rock with black strata running through it!!!
Then I woke up.
This happened about three times and each time I found myself somewhere else but the only place I remember is the rock. I don’t know if I was falling asleep and dreaming or being taken into a deeper trance???
I was surprised to find 30 minutes had past when I went through the recording.

After all this, another communicator came through with a long trance talk.
I think this was the same person who spoke to Dan in the cupboard last week. Some of the phrases were similar and in both instances my hands were held together with the fingers linked and my thumbs slowly twiddling.

‘We working on bringing the link down, bringing the medium down. We have been able to take down this evening so far a little at a time. Good progress for us this evening to do this. We now are more brought forward and able to speak now. We can answer questions or we can talk to you. We have a connection so we need more observation. We see you. We see things in room. We can identify what is necessary for us to get a perfect link to you. We see how your vibration affect what we do in it so we can adjust accordingly for a better reception for you. It is a long process but we each time become more familiar with the way the energy works in here. A number of us are working on tuning the medium to this kind of work. We all do a part of this. Each of us has a job where by we connect to the energy of the medium and we are able to bring our energy into the medium’s energy and by adjusting the vibration between two energies we will be able to get a perfect link’

Liz… ‘How will you use this energy ultimately, will you be able to manifest apports and actual physical phenomena do you think?’

This is our goal to bring physical mediumship into the room. Physical phenomena which you will be able to feel, to see, to hear. We are working on vibrations to enable us to materialize objects, parts or forms of ourselves. We will be walking among you as we do now but in a more physical manifestation. This is our goal and this will become achieved in future as we develop ourselves and develop you and all of the circle’

Liz… ‘Are we able to meet with you in our sleep, in dreams?’

‘There is a connection already in place where by we are all able to meet each sitter, each circle member when they sleep. We have built up a connection which enables us to stay in touch with you all. Whether you remember what happens at these times is not necessary for it will still help you and us by feedback from our situation. We can draw closer when you sleep you become detached from the physical so you become closer to us. We are able to engage in conversation with you but on a higher level so this may not translate to your physical memory. You will not necessarily remember but it will add to your knowledge, your growth, your growth towards the love of your world. It will help and in time you may remember part of what we have said to you in your sleep. So when you feel inspired in your daytime to do these things, that could well be a suggestion or an agreement that was made between yourself and ourselves at the times that you have slept’   


Liz checked I was back after the last tune then she did the closing prayer and sent out healing.

Polegate sit 12/09/2012

We had a sit with a difference on Wednesday evening as Dan came round to my house in Polegate for a sit in the 'Cupboard'.
This is the name given to my spare room where I meditate and sit for mediumship development.

Dan did sit for trance development with me a couple of years ago and things were going well until ‘physical life’ got in the way and we stopped. Recently Dan’s been taken out of it in the Mercury Light Circle so it was going to be interesting to see what happened in the Cupboard.

I’d blacked it out but decided to leave the red light on for my sit.

After the opening prayer I sat first while Dan observed.

Five minutes later I was making a few noises followed by the usual ‘All of us here’ and a few random words and noises.

Then another communicator came through with a lengthy trance talk saying how they enjoy the energy that’s built up in the cupboard and welcomed Dan saying they could work with his energy and he too would benefit when he sits in the hot seat. He said they come as a team all joined together combining their energies as one.

Dan said he could see a bright light on my chest as the communicator was speaking.

Then Tob, one of the Mercury Circle communicators, came through saying it was hard but would get easier as he gets used to speaking through me. The voice was unlike how I remember it through Joan but he did say it was just a small aspect of his personality coming through so it will be interesting to see how his voice and character develops.

Dan felt a tingling on his jaw.

More different voices followed before another communicator came through for a lengthy trance talk. After a bit of warming up he continued…

‘…it is unusual experience for me to speak in this way once again. I just took opportunity they allow me to come and just say words. I don’t know what I am supposed to talk about but they say it is a good way for me to practice just to come through like this and say a few words’

Dan… ‘yes, talking on the physical plane again, do you miss the physical plane?’

‘I can remember very little about my time, it was like a dream to me now. I have moved on to other realities, I have experienced other realities. I know now that physical reality was just a school for me to learn, to grow, to become more individualized, to experience other people, to mingle with other people and learn from them as they learned from me. You are now at this stage on your side and you should rejoice that you are able to be so free and able to mix with other people and animal life and to appreciate the beauty that is on your plane. Do not dwell on the negative side, just keep yourself positive. Enjoy each moment, each day, for every day there is beauty laid out before you if only you can recognize it. It will heighten the more you recognize the beauty. Each time you feel uplifted by the beauty on your side it will take you up. It will enable you to appreciate the next situation that you find yourself in and each situation builds on the previous situation until you find yourself growing and forgetting negative things that are bound to crop up but they will not affect you as you grow more towards the love of your world. Appreciate every day and you will not regret ever missing out on an opportunity when you have come over to our side once again. Thank you for listening I have enjoyed this moment. It has helped me as much as it has helped you and I shall return another time, thank you...’  

I’ve included all of the above in one 23 minute audio clip…


As the last tune played I brought myself back. I had remained aware throughout and was aware of my arms moving most of the time and my head had been brought forward off the chair for some of the communicators...

Dan had been having trouble staying with it as the energy in the room was now very strong and thick. Dan’s jaw had been trembling and his lips felt fuzzy.

It was time for Dan to sit so we swapped places and re-started the music.
Dan had originally planned to sit in total black-out but decided instead to sit in very dim red light.
I could just about see him as he settled down in the hot seat.

The energy around him built up quickly and his head and upper body soon disappeared from my vision.
I could also see a few white wispy bits darting around between Dan and me.

Dan remained still throughout apart from his left hand which slowly moved up towards his face.

After about ten minutes there were a few breathing and lip smacking noises from Dan.
The noises got louder and I encouraged the communicator to speak.
After a struggle there were some understandable words…

‘I was quite a speaker on the earth plane… I enjoyed my drink… I paid the price of my earth life for the drink… I come to talk… My body failed to the alcohol, my heart was crushed, I ceased…’


Five minutes later another communicator came forward. It sounded like they were working on the throat. Lots of different voices were coming through…

‘I need to talk… so beautiful… I need to clear his mind first… I try to talk with you…’


As the communicator withdrew the energy around Dan disappeared and I could see him again.

Dan came back but he was still a bit out of it as his voice kept changing as he spoke!!!
The music was still playing and we let the last tune play before I did the closing prayer.

Dan had felt Joan with him throughout his sitting.
He didn’t remember much else about it. He had been in a black void where he felt he could move around without physically moving and enjoyed being there…

16th Sitting 10/09/2012


After two weeks of having visitors to our circle we were now back to Liz, Dan and me.
Last week in Polegate I’d been given some advice from Little One through Syann about tweaks to improve our circle and we’d implemented them this week.

They wanted more space in the circle for physical phenomena and a tightening up of the closing procedure. Also it was suggested that Dan would need head support in his chair as he was going to be taken out of it more now.
We’d also decided to go through a check list at the beginning as last week we left the music on upstairs and luminous watches have been forgotten in the past as well!!!

We put Dan and Liz against the far wall of the garage opposite the cabinet with the music machine between them so both could reach the volume control and all unused chairs were put outside.
Dan found he could rest his head against the wall should he be taken out of it.  

Dan went through the check list, then at 8.30pm Liz opened in prayer and she asked that she be in a fully awake state during the last tune so that she was able to check that both Dan and I were back before doing the closing prayer.

It was about 15 minutes after the opening before a few noises were heard from the cabinet. It sounded like they were warming up and no understandable words were said.
After about four minutes they withdrew and it was another 15 minutes before more sounds were heard.

Again it was a jumble of words and noises before a communicator came through with some words.
He said it was hard to get started due to the seating changes and they needed to adjust to become in tune again. He said it was not a problem and in the long run we would all benefit. It was the correct way to sit for this type of phenomena and they hoped to bring more light and touches into the room…


Liz could see waves of light like ripples in the room.
Dan thought he could see them as well but he was getting very giddy and heavy headed.
Liz saw a spark above the trumpet then saw sparks all around the room.

Dan went completely out of it.

Liz felt a touch on her ear and then felt her hair being played with.
She then felt something moving her right leg.

There was lip-smacking and noises from the cabinet as another communicator came through…

‘Knowledge… we all keen to share knowledge, so we all will come through with our knowledge which we can share… words will come. For now we have to let our sounds vibrate atmosphere that you inhabit. When we can stabilize our sounds with your atmosphere it will bring forth words, our words of knowledge that we can share with all on your side…’

This was followed by more different voices…


Liz thought there was an orange/brown glow in the room but wasn’t sure if it was caused by suggestion as one of the communicators had just said ‘orange light in room’


Dan was still out of it.

Liz saw a dark shape to her left between her and Dan like someone leaning over her shoulder.
Then it felt like someone was stroking her hair.

Liz thought the trumpet was wobbling and she sensed movement in the room.

There were more noises in the cabinet. It sounded like Little One and the funny man from last week. Then another communicator came through to close saying they were happy with the way the evening had gone and thanked Liz and Dan…


The music CD ended and Liz made sure both Dan and I were back okay.

Liz did the closing prayer and sent out healing.
Dan put the red light on.

Dan had been completely out of it for 35 minutes!!!
At times he had been aware but unable to move or talk but for most of it he had no memory.
Liz had heard a few mumbles and groans coming from Dan but no attempts at communication.

The energy in the cabinet had felt more consistent this week with no sudden strong blasts of energy. I had remained more or less aware throughout. My arms were being moved around and I was shaken at times. I didn’t get the heavy head feeling that I had last Thursday in the MSC but I’d had a lot of pressure on my head, tickles in my ears and felt stuff running down my face...

15th Sitting 03/09/2012


This week Liz was back from her holiday and Syann was with us again.

Syann sat to the right of the cabinet, Dan was opposite and Liz was to the left.
Liz opened at 8.30pm and as she said the prayer she was aware of a light between her and Dan. The red light was on at this point.
Dan turned off the red light and put the music on.

Syann drifted off immediately and remained ‘out of it’ for about 50 minutes!!!
Dan was drifting in and out of it throughout the evening.
Liz managed to stay awake throughout and it was a good job she has a loud singing voice as she was singing solo most of the time!!!

Liz could see ultra violet light around the base of the trumpet… she reported seeing this several times during the evening.
Seven minutes after opening a few voices started in the cabinet…

‘All of us here, all in room’

Liz… ‘We can feel you’

‘We have come close tonight. We are getting nearer to your vibration in your existence. It is easier each week for us to penetrate your atmosphere. All are near in room with you all. We mingle with you all and we are walking around room with all of you. Let us know if you can feel our presence.’


Liz saw a light which really got her attention as it was the size and the height of a head and was moving towards the cabinet then disappeared.
A few minutes later she saw another light moving up in front of the cabinet followed by sparkles and flashes all around the room.  

Liz had a strong feeling there was someone to her left and Dan also felt there was someone between Liz and him.
Dan saw a lot of light around the cabinet.

More voices started in the cabinet. At first they were random words but then settled down to some understandable speaking.

‘We need to stabilize all energy in room so we can use voice in more understandable way. We are working on stabilizing the energy. We have built up energy so it is strong but we do need a stabilization of energy so that it can be worked in this way. It will become stronger as we learn more from our side the mechanics of the way it is produced’

Liz… ‘Is there anything we can do to make it easier?’

‘You are doing what we wish so just keep doing what you do. Keep harmony with one another and blend your energies with one another so we can more easily bring ourselves into your energies. It is already working in this way so you have nothing to worry about just keep doing as you are and we will be able to work with what you produce from our side and use it efficiently to bring our own knowledge through to you in this way…’

Liz… ‘Wonderful thank you’


Something was tickling Liz’s face and hair.

Dan had now gone completely out of it and was making a few grunts, groans and sighs.
Syann came back but was still drifting in the energy which had now become very strong.
Dan came back.

There were more voice noises from the cabinet.
Syann was very cold.
A mixture of voices were coming through including an interesting and funny new communicator.

‘… ‘ello, ‘ello… oi, what are we doing in ‘ere? …I know what you’re doing, you’re talking to dead people aren’t you… I’ve come to ‘ave a look. I’ve not been in one of these things for a long time. I used to come along to these things when I was on your side. I used to talk to the dead as well. We were all thought of as completely mad… We continued because we knew the truth. We knew where we were going so when we went we were not surprised…’

(later when we were talking about this communicator, Syann got an image of the picture on the Mercury Circle home page of a séance in Worthing… maybe he was one of the sitters there? Let’s hope he returns with more info...)

Other communicators tried to get through. It seemed like they were queuing up for a go!!!
Syann thought it was looking different. More uniformly blobby and less sparkly. Liz agreed and Dan said the luminosity on the trumpet had disappeared.
Another communicator…

‘Hello, hello’

Liz… ‘Who’s that trying to get through?’

‘I don’t know, we are all together. We all come through together so we do not have a name to give ourselves. We have been given the opportunity to visit momentarily so we can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere that you have created. It is a privilege for us to be able to come back to your atmosphere especially when it has been tended so lovingly by all of you. Do not feel surprised if you have been taken over this evening by some of us. We do like coming close to each of you. Sometimes we come a bit too close and it will draw you away from the focus of the evening but this is okay because it can add to the energies that we are looking for so it is all part of the mix. You are all involved in this. It is not a one man show it is a joint effort, a circle of friends, a circle of light that shines out to us and we have been able to come into your circle and come close to each and every one of you…’


Syann said it had become darker in the room.
Both Liz and Syann felt the room was slanting and changing direction.
Syann thought someone had walked between her and Dan and was now behind them.

Liz felt she was being pushed through a cloud, then had the impression she was in rock strata.
Syann was getting similar impressions then felt herself swaying and lost in a sea of energy!!!

Syann became aware of sparkly lights around her hands, then a few minutes later she went off again and this time she was controlled as Little One popped in to say hello…


By the time the last tune ended I was fully back and feeling fine.

Syann and Dan were still a bit woozy but felt better after Liz had done the closing prayer.

The energies had felt very powerful for all of us.
Syann said it had been a smoother energy but also thick and strong.

The energy in the cabinet had been very strong and I had felt myself being shaken quite violently at times. I had remained more or less aware throughout the evening. 

During most of the sitting Liz had experienced the sensation of having the top half of her body lifted up while still remaining on her seat as if she had been stretched upwards. When she said that both Dan and Syann said they had felt the same thing during the evening.

It had been a strange but interesting sitting, giving us all plenty to talk about as we headed upstairs for tea and cake…
