Development
with Sue Wrotchford
Recently, I have been sent many of the same questions about development,
so I thought this month I would answer some of them. Within this way of life, there are so many schools of thought. I always try and
bring what I have learned along my path. This includes all the knowledge my wonderful guides impart to me.
You will find along your path that you read, hear or see so much. Some will sit with you and some will not. Remember, that’s ok! Take
that which does sit with you and put the rest to the side. It might mean that now is not the right time for that particular insight/learning
or it may never sit right with you. It does not mean it’s wrong or that you are wrong; it just means it is not right for you! We all work so
differently. Have you ever seen two mediums who work in the same way? All of what I talk about, write or teach feels right to me.
Lisa. J. asks “How can I connect with my guides and how do I know that they are there?”
Dear Lisa,
I get asked this so often. Much of the work we do with Spirit is based on trust and a knowing/intuition. Know that your guides are always with you and only
a thought away. They will have a calling card which they give you to let you know that they are around. This may be a feeling/ sensation, a colour, sound or
something that helps you to recognise their presence.
Whenever I start a group or sit with someone new to this way of life, I do a guide link-in meditation. This is something you can do to help you recognise
that they are there, get to know them better and get to know their calling card.
Find yourself a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Turn off anything that may disturb you; phones, bells etc. Sit down, make yourself comfortable
and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and ground yourself. I like to imagine roots growing from my feet into the earth and wrapping themselves around
a rock, and as I breathe in, I draw in all that beautiful earth energy. As I breathe out I send all of my cares and worries away.
Just imagine yourself in a beautiful room, surrounded by white loving light. Now in your mind ask your guide to step in, connect with you and let you know
their calling card. Some people feel: perhaps they feel someone is next to them, they feel pressure or sensations somewhere on/in their physical body, or feel
something else such as spinning. Some people see: they see colours, or their guides may show themselves or a kind of symbol. Sometime it’s just a knowing;
an intuitive knowing that they are there with you!
Thank your guide and ask them to step back for a moment. Once you feel you are back in the room on your own, surrounded by that beautiful white loving
light, ask your guide to step back in. You should recognise the same calling card as they step in.
Send love and ask them to step in closer now. Get a sense of who they are, maybe their personality. Be aware of the information and/or knowledge they
bring you. Trust that what you see, hear and feel is from them. You know on some level all about them. It will feel right, there will be recognition. It can be
very emotional connecting with them. They have waited a long time to connect with you. Spend some time chatting to them, connecting with them. Always
remember to thank them and send love.
When you feel ready, slowly bring your awareness back to your physical body, the seat you are sitting in and the room, and open your eyes when you feel
ready.
You can do this exercise as often as you want. It can help strengthen your connection with your guide when you do it regularly. It can also help if you are
aware of more than one guide working with you to do this with each for recognition.
Love and Light,

Amy. L. asks “How do I know what kind of medium I am meant to be, in which way should I take my development?”
Dear Amy,
Where are you drawn to? What do you enjoy doing? I always think it’s best to start there. Trust your instincts, that intuitive part of you that just knows.
Your guides will help you find who you are meant to meet and where you are meant to be/go. What circles/ workshops/ books are you drawn to? There are so
many things to learn from; platform mediumship and tarot, to physical mediumship. Some people find they learn everything and do a bit of each. Some mediums will specialise in one area.
Know that there are no right or wrong choices on this journey, if everything is done in love and light. Trust that whatever choices you make will be the right
ones. I always say to those who sit in my development circles to try everything and see what sits well with them.
Enjoy your wonderful journ ey of development. Be patient with yourself and trust that you will find your way.
Love and Light,

Dave. B asks “I have been told that my Guides are really angry with me, what I can do to make this situation better?”
Dear Dave,
I feel quite cross when people come to see me and I have been told this. Our guides love us ‘UNCONDITIONALLY’. They know us better than we know
ourselves. They understand that we are on a journey and that we are here to learn. If we always did everything right we would learn nothing. They accept that
there is both good and bad within us. They have so much patience with us, bringing what we need when we are ready. Try the meditation I talked about
above. Talk to them; send those thoughts out! Know that they are there supporting you every step of this wonderful journey.
Love and Light,
Sue x
