Many thanks to my beautiful wife Gail, my gorgeous daughter Natalie and my strapping son Connor. Without their encouragement I would probably not have completed this part of my journey.

To my spiritual guides Harry Edwards, Kao Chu and Grey Horse, for their direction in instigating this book and for their trust and belief in me.

To Pauline and John Hamley, Pauline Garden and Eric Brock for all their hard work, professionalism and patience in bringing this book to fruition.

Finally a special thanks to everyone mentioned in this book, for allowing me to use their names and experiences. They have helped me along my spiritual path.

I never thought that I would be working as a spiritual healer, let alone as a Psychic Surgeon, carrying out the work that I do today on behalf of the Divine Spirit and the workers from the Spirit World. This part of my life has been a wonderful awakening to me and I feel so blessed that I can share my experiences with you. This book is about my development within the healing side of mediumship. My purpose in writing it is to provide help and guidance to those who are thinking about following the path into spiritual healing, trance and trance healing mediumship.

Throughout my journey I have been faced with many questions and doubts. However, over time, wonderful people have come forward from the Spirit side of life, in love and trust, to work with me. They have provided me with information that has helped to develop my understanding of what has been taking place throughout my spiritual journey into this, the unseen side of life, which seems so far removed to many people.

At the start of my journey I never really knew of the existence of the Spirit World. If it had not been for the evidence that was brought through by spirit guides and healers, when they felt I was ready to receive it, I would be unaware of it still. Now, when I look back over my life and remember certain things that took place as I was growing up, I can understand their significance. However, at the time, since there was no one to explain them to me, just like any other child growing up, I would tend to dismiss what I had been shown or was aware of concerning the Spirit World.

Childhood Experiences

My earliest memory of spirit people, or shadow people as some like to call them, was when I was a very young child. My parents, two sisters and I lived in a council flat in an area of Edinburgh called Wardieburn. I remember waking up one night and seeing people walking down the hall beyond the open bedroom door, heading in the direction of the bathroom. This happened on several occasions as I lay awake and watched. To be honest, I was terrified. Eventually I mustered the courage to wake one of my sisters and together we went to have a look in the bathroom. There was no one there. I would see these shadow people walk down the hall almost every night.

The next experience that I can recall from memory was when I was staying at my grandparents house. I would stay with them almost every weekend and I would sleep in their bedroom on bunk beds at the side of their double bed. I remember waking my granny up most of the nights that I stayed there because there were people (shadow people) in the room. This always resulted in her comforting me. They wont hurt you, she would say. In you come to my bed. I always found this to be very reassuring. I have really enjoyable memories of the visits to my grandparents.

I spent quite a lot of time by myself wandering around the grounds of the castle that my grandfather looked after and never really felt alone. Often I would be aware of speaking to myself in my own mind. I was constantly asking questions, and sometimes I would hear an answer. To keep myself amused when I was wandering around on my own I used to play a game in my mind. Now I can understand what it was that I was doing but at the time it was a just a game to me to see how far I could shift my consciousness to the side. Sometimes I was able to shift my consciousness (which felt like I had entered into another world or dimension) to such a degree that I would feel as if I was going to faint.

A strange game for a child to play, I can hear you say. Nevertheless, it was a game that I liked to play when I was on my own. I did not know that even back then my spirit friends were conducting experiments with me involving the altered states of trance. It was not until later on in my life, when I had some experience of trance mediumship, that I was able to begin to understand what had been happening all those years before.

Another game that I used to play involved heat through my hands. I would ask one of my sisters to lay her arms on the floor and I would put my hand over her arm or hand. I would then request that the part of their body under my hand to heat up. Heat up, heat up, heat up, I would say, and then, go cold, go cold. Afterwards, I would return to, Heat up, heat up. My sisters were always up for this, but after a while it would start to freak them out and the game would stop. I now know that this was the Spirit World getting me to experiment with the use of using spiritual healing energy.

Children are innocent when it comes to all things spiritual. When a child has an imaginary friend it may be imaginary to us, but it will seem very real to them. Children do not dismiss the Spirit World as easily as we do; they are openly receptive to whatever they see, feel and become aware of. Their minds have not been conditioned like those of adults. Childrens minds and thoughts are pure and uncorrupted. They are willing to accept anything and everything, seen and unseen, in our physical world. It is not uncommon for a child to tell their parents that they have spoken to loved ones (grandparents) who have visited them during the night or through the day. Often these loved ones have passed into the Spirit World before the child was born. Nonetheless the child is able to pick them out from a photograph.

Adults and parents should encourage their children to have an open mind concerning the Spirit World. They should recognize that it is acceptable for children to have imaginary friends. I have never heard of an imaginary friend causing a problem for a child. The problem usually arises due to the parent or guardian failing to understand, or to accept, what is happening. The people from the Spirit World are never going to harm anyone. They are love, nothing less, and they only want to bring that love to those of us on the material plane, together with the understanding that we are all connected through the love of Divine Spirit.
