Hi folks,

Some of you may be wondering where I’ve disappeared to after this house move…  the intention was to be back and working by 20th September… BUT we moved into the house from hell on Sept 14th. It turned out to be flea infested and the previous owners left cat urine soaked carpets in both bedrooms and a very unclean house in all respects. It was the first and hopefully last time I ever found clumps of human and cat hair in a fridge, and I won’t traumatise you with the toilet description…

So, we then had to fight with the letting agent who seemed to think the carpets were fine as they’d been steam cleaned. And then insisted that they didn’t need replacing and would be miraculously de-flea-ed and cleansed of pints of pee with just another steam clean.

So we stuck to our guns and finally got them replaced… And discovered from the landlord himself that we were out of here in March anyway when he popped round. They are moving back here to retire in March. The same agent just sold their house for them! So from day one the agents knew we were here short term only. We were lied to just to get us in here to cover the rent for 6 months. We made sure from the word go that the agents – who marketed this as a long term let for a minimum 12 months – knew we only wanted this if it was long term and explained why. Even on the day we collected keys we were told we’d be here for a long time. We’ll be seeking redress…

Poor Lestat our cat – he is traumatised. He freaked out so badly the first night here but we didn’t know what was wrong with him at the time – he must’ve been under siege from all those fleas jumping onto him. We realised what was wrong on day 2 when I saw a flea run across his face! We took over 250 fleas off him in the first week alone. We ripped out the carpets, the concrete floor was still stinking, we steam cleaned that, used all the tricks for getting rid of urine smells – and it still smells! We had to fight for fumigation to be done, both bedrooms were off limits for a total of 10 days until these people pulled their fingers out and got the fumigation done and carpets replaced. So, living in one room, no boxes unpacked, getting bitten ourselves too and sleeping on sofas.

Oh – and we had no hot water for 5 days as the boiler stopped working… And little or no intermittent slow internet access…and no phone network signal out here!

But its not been doom and gloom…we are resilient buggers, Me and Mr F are still able to laugh, we’ve had some glorious weather and the views here are stunning …big open skies… so I’ve found gratitude too in the midst of all this yuk 🙂

Hence my absence … I’ve been taking care of staying sane, doing everthing within my power to get us out of here, getting legal help, looking after myself, Mr F and Lestat, juicing, meditating, asking the angels and loved ones upstairs for help to empower me to get us out of this lease and they answered.They always do! Oh, and hobbling about on a crutch to hospital visits for my injured knee and impending surgery all at the same time. I don’t do things by halves do I?

We will be moving again on Oct 14th to… *fingers crossed* a lovely farm cottage in a village we’ve loved for years… properties don’t come up there very often so we’ve been blessed to even find it… so please do bear with me, thank you so much for lovely positive thoughts and messages. And most of all thank you for bearing with me so far and I will be back very, very soon!

In the meantime, if you are waiting to hear from me re rescheduling, I’ll be doing that very soon, and for those of you who are waiting for me to get settled before booking in, its safe to book yourselves in for November as I *will* be firing on all cylinders and full of energy!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful support and lovely messages since Louis passed… we found a great deal of strength in your kindness and we are doing better today than earlier in the week, its been so hard we miss his furry little face so much. My heart breaks for every one of you who shared your stories of loss with me too. Immersing myself in work this week and bringing comfort and teaching to people has helped me to cope with the physical loss of Louis, by focusing on the spiritual in life it reminds me daily in fact…moment to moment that we are transient beings just here for a stint before we go Home and see what we learned 🙂

So… please do keep me busy with work, you help keep me focused on what I can do for others… so that out of pain comes goodness. 🙂 xxx

 

We said goodbye to our beloved Louis cat today …he passed away purring and comfy, looking into our faces as we cuddled him. A gentle passing. He was our brave little furry friend for 15 years, he will be so very very missed by me, Mr F and his brother Lestat. I felt Dad come to collect him and we’ve had a little sign at home already Forgive me if I don’t reply to emails and messages for a couple of days xxxx

I have mostly been doing phone readings 🙂 which has worked out perfectly seeing as someone turned up the thermostat in Hades and my British constitution and Celtic skin doesn’t tolerate the 90 degree + heat very well – so no makeup and sitting in front of the fan while I work is for me! I’ve released some more appointments for the coming week on my calendar.

Mr F is painting the living room and kitchen this weekend – insanity in these temperatures but who am I to persuade him to stop when the dove grey will look so lovely when its done? heheh… gives me time to answer emails – but I promise I do switch off too 🙂

I’ve had some lovely and powerful messages from the other side and validations this week from my clients. Had a dream visit from my Dad earlier in the week, we hugged and I cried and he told me things just as he would in life… I needed that! One client’s Dad made such a wonderful loving connection, he gave me his name immediately and helped others come through to pass on messages to loved ones the client knew too… never ever ceases to amaze me how they see the pathways to get their messages across! He also validated a moment special to his daughter where she felt close to him after his passing, he described where she was and what she was doing and this meant the world to her as she’d hoped he was there… he certainly confirmed he was!

I got this lovely feedback today:

“I wanted to say thank you for the reading yesterday. I passed the message on to my friends whose dad is a train driver. The pumpkin/Halloween reference was his birthday! xxx is the name of the train he built & xxx could refer to his surname or xxx – the name of his other train!! They were so happy that a message cane through & said its made their weekend…So thank you.”

I’ve updated the books, cds and audio I find most useful and interesting – and in the case of the best book I’ve read – “The F*ck It Way” – funny as it is thought provoking!

Stuff I recommend

 

Hi folks,

It always astounds me what comes through during a sitting, 22 years in and readings never gets old or “samey”. The particularly amazing ones tend to involve loved ones finding a way to show us proof of who we’re talking with. The really amazing ones to me anyway, are when animals convey their emotions from Spirit.

Our animal friends go to the same place we do, and they will always be part of the welcoming committee when our time comes to cross over from this life. If we ever wonder if they love us as we love them, well, I’ve seen and felt so much love and gratitude and loyalty from animals in the spirit world linking with the living – I know that all mammals are capable of great love and devotion, species makes no difference.

Yesterday I had the privilege of helping one of these communications happen.

A lovely client came to see me for a sitting one to one, as usual I had no idea why or what expectations may be beforehand. Almost immediately I could see a grey horse, and felt incredible pain in my leg, but above all this, I felt such love and respect for the lady sitting with me, coming from the horse in spirit! Animals don’t talk to me, but I can feel what they feel, and get snapshot images, memories, and my guides interpret and give info I can’t access from an animal consciousness. This beautiful horse was able to convey he was grateful that this lady didn’t give up on him, and that she did all she could for him. He was able to get my guides to give me his name by showing me something I would understand in my frame of reference, a well known person. My guides were also able to tell us he was pleased his blood line continues. I also learned a few things about the horsey world from my guides, all verified by the lady sat with me!

Loved ones also came through with lots of info about what’s ahead, what’s passed and unusual names, you gotta love more proof like that!

I am always just as wowed by the info as any of my clients are… and although I may not be able to do as much mediumship these days, I love still being able to bring that comfort and laughter to you lovely lot!

 

 

Woo!

In 2005 I was very privileged to have access to a former WW2 airfield in Rivenhall, Essex on several occasions. To this day it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life as a medium and the honour of speaking with some of the airmen who gave their lives in service, and seeing events as they unfolded back then will stay with me forever.

I was asked last year by researcher and author Christopher Huff if he could include my findings and experiences in his book – which has now been published!

You don’t have to buy the book to read my experiences – you can read them here in my own original account.

Have a great weekend!

Hello folks,

Well the past few weeks have been blippy McBlippy and testing of the patience has been theme du jour…but as usual, nothing keeps me down!

We were descended upon unannounced mid March by noisy builders to repair the leaky roof in our apartment block, which as you can imagine threw my one to one schedule out of the window completely… of course said builders had no idea how long the work would actually take so I’ve had to throw myself at your mercy and hope you lovely lot will bear with me! And you always do, I am very lucky to work with such kind clients. Work is finished now, finally, so booking everyone back in among the already full diary has been a challenge but I got there!

Then just as I was hitting my stride – lurgy. As some of you may already know, mediumship etc is impossible for me when I am ill, especially so with head related things. Instead of getting all grrr and arrrrgh about it, I just focused on getting well, resting and didn’t get wound up. I just go with the flow at these times. Why? Not because I have any zen-like mastery of self… I just remind myself “this too shall pass” and there is nothing to be gained by fighting what I cannot change. Yes, I had mucus demons living in my sinuses, but with rest and gentleness with myself, they leave much faster. Added bonus, I got time to write more of my e-books, and to revisit series one and two of the Walking Dead on Netflix 🙂 I  have a much better immune system now than days of old so thankfully I’ve bounced back within a week and am now hoisting up my big girl panties, firing on all cylinders, rolling up my sleeves and cordially invite the Universe to berrrrr-ing it on! 🙂

Challenges can either de-rail us or make us more determined to continue on, to get where we are going, even if we have no clue of the destination. It is always a choice you know, how we react to anything. Challenges test our strength and we can always come out stronger. And with these blips and bumps in the road, the journey never becomes dull. Instead of frustration and annoyance I seek out what positives I can gain from each blip. There’s always something 🙂

Hope to work with you soon!

Hi Folks,

Wellll this New Moon is pinging on my energies thats for sure! And I’d be very surprised if you weren’t feeling a tad affected yourselves!

This New Moon is a doozy… its firmly plonked in Pisces which means it is a great time to be making plans, dreaming big… a time for revelation and rebirth, which can often leave us feeling a bit shaky and vulnerable as we go through these changes. Not helped much by Mercury still being in retrograde so communications need to be clear and plans double and triple checked before being put into any kind of action until later this month… But all of this is well worth the discomfort!

So if like me, you’re feeling the Moon’s power right now, I’ve a great Mew Moon meditation for you on my website here (scroll down past the Wishing Moon info) that might help you to work through this challenging energy.

Lets ride the rollercoaster, feel the fear and do it anyway, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by harnessing and making the most of this energy.

With love and crash helmets…

Rachel xx

 

 

Had a bit of a debate with someone on Faceache last week who insisted that mediumship is “a Divine gift”. I don’t agree… sometimes what I see is horrifying, vile and I wouldn’t wish that “gift” upon anyone. At times, with ongoing investigations us sensitives can get almost “locked on” and linked in no matter how firmly we close down …sometimes for days or weeks (e.g. glimpses of horror during missing persons cases). Yep, tie a gift bow on that…The Faceache debate ended with the other person being rude and me taking the high ground and agreeing to disagree 🙂

Mediumship and clairvoyance (is for me anyway) an ability just like any other, just as some people become great gymnasts, athletes, concert pianists, because they have a natural disposition to be good at it and work damn hard to make the most of that ability and hone it. I wanted to be a gymnast funnily enough as a kid but was average at best, no matter how much I practiced, there was only so far I could go with the ability I had. I was no Olga Korbut but gave it my best and got my BAGA level 1 certificate, which wasn’t too shabby for a chunky kid like me. I was proud of it, proud of the hard work and sheer determination it took a non natural to attain what was to me at the time such dizzying heights. I still have that certificate and my badges somewhere… and I’m still proud as hell of them… but I digress…

Today was one of those mixed days I was referring to when it comes to my mediumship ability. It really is a great thing to be able to feel and see things through the eyes of a spirit person, to re-live their memories in full sensory 3D technicolor and physically feel as they felt too … until a murder victim wants to tell their story. Then it becomes a difficult honour to bear witness to.

“A”  came through during a sitting to get a message through to her own family …to make sure they know that she is truly at peace and has already forgiven the killer… She named him too and said they have caught him already. Amazing, and humbling to be in the presence of such peace and forgiveness… but very hard to see what was shown to me, I had to ask her to stop after a while as I saw and felt it all as if I were her. She showed me the leaves and dirt on her face in the shallow grave… she showed me her death, the violence, the pain. And then the wonderful peace as she left her body and the physical horrors behind completely in an instant… and was joined by her family who came to escort her Home. She also showed me how she helped the police to catch her murderer’s accomplice after the fact and told me his name too. She also named her friend who knew this was going to happen but was powerless to stop the cycle of violence, and said she was sorry to her for not listening.

So, a gift? For “A” and her family once my sitter finds her family connection and delivers the message, yes. For me, not so much, but nothing a night watching the Hobbit curled up with my husband and a large glass of Bailey’s won’t cure 🙂

Have a good evening folks. xx
