It is not easy to establish a development circle, for reasons such as commitment by the members, facilities available and the ability of supporting circle leader will be called into question during the set up and progression of the development group.
The Circle Leader should naturally have the ability to observe and guide the proceedings of the circle, as suitable controlled monitoring is essential at all times. Practical instructions and jurisdiction within the circle should also be maintained at all times.
One of the hazards of a meditation group is inappropriate behaviour on the part of anyone participating within the group. Idle chat or a blasé approach towards the group may adversely effect the energies within the circle and consequently, damage to the group may be done. Be that as it may, a finely tuned and balanced circle should be a chief consideration.
The circle leader’s responsibility should embrace the ability to allow students to develop at their natural pace and with appropriate tutoring, their progress should be checked and pushed forward when both parties feel the time is right.
An important part of the Leader’s function is to make sure that students are physically, mentally and emotionally prepared for the group. This may include assessing and offering ideas and help for people who somehow or other feel imbalance in their lives. ” Emotional disturbance can on nervous systems and on the etheric body upset progression”.
( Grace Cooke, New Mediumship ).
Sanctuary in churches
Many British Spiritualist churches and spiritually related organisations offer their congregation a mass of ‘spiritual ‘ learning classes which range from sand- readings and psychic art to mediation and circle training events in both open and closed format - the list of events is literally without end as far as things go.
Some churches and organisations possess the luxury of private rooms within their building headquarters that empowers the committee to successfully run their devoted classes in privacy and without intrusion or at least, minimal disturbances from other groups that maybe running concurrently.
Though many organisations have space to facilitate their classes, just as many organisations do not have the luxury of private rooms on their premises. Some organisations are forced to share their property with other associations. Very often, a small spiritualist church will have no alternative other than conduct the open and closed circles within the same room that serves teas and cake, healing sessions and public demonstrations of mediumship. Despite this shortcoming, a well run committee should be smart enough to plan their events well in advance so as to avoid clashes of differing interests wherever possible and keep any disruptions to a minimum.
Previously attended sanctuary
I vividly recall the sanctuary within the spiritualist church in Brighton where I previously held the position of Vice President. The church premises was quite small compared to the National Spiritualist church in nearby Kemp town. Our church’s only sanctuary / meeting room was small but serviceable to suit the purpose for which it was designed, namely, private readings, healing, closed circles, tabletop sales, general chit-chat and teas / cakes service.
During my public service within the church, I was aware that the sanctuary contained an array of differing energies, including negative and positive vibrations that were partly due to the various personalities that occupied the room at one time or another. The fluctuating energies was remarkable and my sensitivity was adversely effected by this, which in turn influenced my mediumship development.
Home sanctuary
My partner and I decided to convert the spare room in our home, based in Fareham in Hampshire, soon after moving here in the summer of 2006. We both agree that it is essential to create an atmosphere that encourages spirit activity and exclusively promotes psychic development / meditation and healing. You can see from the photo image on the right; the room is a comfortable size and is scantily furnished. The predominant deep blue colour provides a vibrant energy to the carefully maintained atmosphere.
Our regular home meditation circle allows for a maximum of six people at any one time and a specialised healing bed is housed within the room that allows Adrian to facilitate his healing sessions. The sanctuary possesses an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquillity which is increasing on a daily basis.
You can e-mail me if you would like to enquire further about the sanctuary or any other questions relating to your own mediation network. tony@spiritvoice.biz
