Lecture on Developing Physical Mediumship

April 2, 2019 by Martin Twycross 2 Comments

Here is a short lecture by Gordon on developing physical mediumship. It was recorded in the Library at Stansted Hall in the early 1980s and runs for 31 minutes. In this wide-ranging lecture, Gordon discusses how a physical circle should be run, the role of sitters, the development of phenomena and how materialisation occurs. He also discusses some of the nonsense around chakras in mediumship, the importance of developing trance before starting to sit for physical, what happens during trance, and the physical mediumship of Florence Cook.

Gordon was one of the finest physical mediums of the last 50 years so is uniquely well qualified to speak on this topic. As with many tape recordings of this era, the quality is not ideal. That said, it is well worth a listen and gives us valuable information on how to develop this rare form of mediumship.

Gordon Higginson Remembered

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This article was published by Lew Sutton in 2008 and is reproduced here with his kind permission. It was written to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of Gordon’s passing.

The 18th January 2008 marks the fifteenth anniversary of Gordon’s passing to spirit but the memory of him is still fresh in the hearts of those who knew him well. Not only was he an excellent mental and physical medium but also a fine orator. What is not generally known is that he was also a very good healer.

Gordon started demonstrating at an early age as a boy medium. Years later his life was to change dramatically. In 1970 Gordon Higginson somewhat reluctantly became president of the Spiritualist National Union – a role that the spirit world appeared to have deemed necessary for the sake of Spiritualism in the UK.

This was a particularly difficult time for the SNU. In spite of a huge administrative burden and a need to earn a living, Gordon continued to teach and demonstrate his mediumship. This included for many years holding materialisation séances at Stansted Hall and occasionally at other venues. His whole life was devoted to Spiritualism.Continue Reading
