All I can say is the week was MAGIC. Once again, I want to thank everyone for making me so welcome,

I can't remember when I last enjoyed anything as much as the seminar at Billingham. From the word go it was filled with fun, excitement, inspiration and the most wonderful feeling of friendship and love. Everyone got on so well, by the end of the first day it was as though we had all know each other for years.

The tutors were all fantastic, imparting lots of knowledge and certainly inspiring me to want to take mediumship further. As those of you who were there know, my husband went as a complete outsider and came home wanting to become involved. The experience has made him much more positive in his outlook about life.

We are both suffering from withdrawal symptoms, especially from all the cuddles; imagine what our customers would think if we started cuddling them every time, they came into our premises rofl. Oh well, we'll just have to cuddle each other more often.

Roll on the next seminar

I had a few highlights in the week, but the main one was the trance session with Craig and seeing the face of Tara his guide and the white aura around his head and shoulders. The other was my readings in the circle on the Tuesday night.

Miss you loads

As far as I am concerned, my biggest highlight of the week was the TV Cameras filming Craig's demonstration of mediumship on Thursday evening from the rostrum at Billingham. I have never ever witnessed TV Cameras filming Psychic/Mediumship activities, so this was new ground for me personally.

Also It's great that Billingham Church (Development Class), Rainbowsend and our site members/staff were allowed to be a part of this TV documentary on Craig Hamilton Parker. If we couple this with the fact that it was Violet's Birthday, and the presentation of her unique education award, made it a magical spiritual experience for all.

It is difficult to choose a highlight of the week as there were so many memorable incidents and events. The main highlight for me was Mike Rowland’s music as every time he played, I think everyone would agree it touched the parts that other music cannot reach. It really was soul music.

Rainbows End Seminars are a bit like participating in the Spiritual Olympic Games. From the opening ceremony on Monday morning until the closing ceremony on Friday night there is always an event going on. Although they are non-competitive games, they can be compared to a series of time trials. For example there is the five minute dash to read someone’s aura, the 10 minute pursuit trial to link up with spirit and the 3 minute sprint to get an inspirational message. As with all Olympic Games on the final day there was the relay event where participants passes the baton to each other during a spiritual service, which they had practiced and prepared earlier.

This year unbeknown to even the organizers, spirit had included a new event, which made its debut at Billingham. Even the participants who were Vi (T+Sybil) and I (Hollycat) were unaware that we had been entered for the event. Although many of the events involve the participants shedding copious amounts of tears the event we had been entered for involved synchronized weeping.

This event took place on Tuesday accompanied by Mike’s beautiful music. We sat quietly listening to the music. As I did this, I became aware of a flood of emotion coursing through me and tears flowing down my cheeks. I reached for my handkerchiefs (which are essential equipment at Billingham) to wipe the tears from my eyes and continued doing this for a few moments until the emotion subsided. What I didn’t know was that I was mirroring exactly the actions of Vi who was sitting behind me.

We had both been impressed by the emotion that was emanating from one particular beautiful spirit who had moved us both to tears. Vi told me that she had become aware that my son was standing behind me telling her there was more than one Mike in the room. He told her he was so proud of me and that he was always behind me and then he lovingly kissed the back of my neck. Vi had begun to cry because she was so touched by the emotion and at the same time, she saw that I had begun to cry too, both of us wiping our eyes at the same time. And so a new Rainbows event was born. For me it was the highlight of the week. It is a memory I will always cherish and it has given me a reminder for those days when I miss my son most that he is there standing proudly behind me sending me his love.

Thank you Vi, Doris and Jane for that lovely moment and for the friendships that were strengthened during that week.

Ok, after thinking about it, there are so many wonderful moments from the week, but you aren’t going to let me get away with saying the whole thing was great,

I think the moment that stands out for me was quite early on in the week. We were all sat in the downstairs part of the church and Mike was playing inspired music and leading us on visualization. The music was absolutely beautiful, and the images that began to fill my mind were vivid and alive. At one point I was made aware of a small child standing right in front of me. She has come through in readings that I have had before, so I recognized the child as the daughter I lost in a miscarriage 7 years ago. Feeling her standing there right next to me, holding my hand, whilst I listened to such beautiful music is an experience that will stay with me forever.
