A
Akashic Records
Subtle material underlying all life that contains a recording of every thought, action, and event that has, or will ever take place on Earth. The information contained in these records is available to adepts and qualified sensitive.
Your Soul is a small fragment of the Spirit being you truly are, leaving behind the greater portion in Spirit. This is referred as your Higher Self. Your Higher Self holds all the information of every lifetime and experience you have ever had - therefore it is your akashic record by another name.
See Higher Self
Angels / Archangels
Divine attendant, being or messenger between Earth and heaven (Spirit plane [realm]), and links you with the highest good.
Angelic beings have never had a human experience, even though they are often depicted in a human form. Angels can take any form when they show themselves to us. Generally, they use a form that we will accept and not frighten us.
There are many named Angels and Archangels, all connecting to humanity for our highest good and betterment. One of Sarah's favourite reference books is Gustav Davidson's "A Dictionary of Angels".
Apparition
Appearance, especially of a startling kind of a discarnate Spirit (or Soul).
Apport
Materialisation of an object out of thin air. Typical apports include small stones or objects, plants or flowers.
See Physical Phenomena
Ascended Master
A great spiritual teacher or healer has been human and had several lifetimes on Earth, and who continues to help humanity from the Spirit plane (realm).
Ascended Masters work very closely with the Angelic Realm, and give them insight into being human. There are meant to be 22 Ascended Masters and they all resonate with different purposes and intentions. If you want to learn more about them Doreen Virtue's "Archangels & Ascended Masters" is a good starting point.
Ascension
The process of fully remembering one's unity with God (creator, divine, source) and the one Spirit that unites all people. Ascension is being used more often now, where previously people spoke about spiritual awakening and enlightenment.
Astral Plane
The realm of dreams and illusions, and is supposed to be where the spiritual essence of a physical being travels to in sleep and after death.
Master Chou describes this slightly differently. He calls it the layer between the physical and spiritual planes (realms). A layer where the two blend together but it is neither one or the other.
Our Astral Body can travel there as it is light enough too but it can travel no further. Spirit Guides will also sometimes meet you in the Astral layer to teach you or communicate.
The Astral plane (realm) is often regarded as negative, but with all things in existence it is both positive and negative. The Astral layer gets a bad press because it is misunderstood.
See Subtle Bodies
Astral Projection
Also known as an "out of body experience" or "OBE" or "astral travel" the feeling that a person has separated from the physical body. The Astral body is light enough to leave your aura and travel around the physical plane (realm) and into the Astral plane (realm).
This can happens spontaneously, or when your Spirit Guides want to communicate with you. It can also happen by design; we would not recommend astral travel without an understanding of what you are doing and why.
See Subtle Bodies
Aura
The human aura is divided into several layers. The aura is an energy field that surrounds you and emanates from your Soul. An aura reader will look at the colour and shape of your aura and give you information about your personality, character, health and spiritual development.
The aura is vital to our well-being and can be affect by trauma (physical, emotional or mental) and by your mind-set, other peoples energy and the environment around you.
Sarah has written an eBook about the aura - Get Real: About you and your aura - it is available to purchase by clicking on this link.
Auragraph
Drawings done by a Psychic Artist, of your aura as a reading. The diagram can give information about your personality and current situation. They are often very colourful and can shed light on things that need your attention and your well-being. Often they include symbols: flowers, animals and references to past experiences or loved ones. They may also contain information from your guides.
See Psychic Art
Automatic Writing
Writing or typing produced by a medium while in an altered state of consciousness. "Facsimile writing" occurs when the medium reproduces the signature and/or writing style of a deceased person.
Automatic writing is now being used a lot more as an umbrella term and it can describe Spirit writing done through a medium in many different levels of altered consciousness from light channelling to deep trance.

Brow

C
Cabinet
Small, enclosed space where a medium sits to condense spiritual energy so that a Spirit materialisation may take place. The cabinet is based on the Native American conjuring lodge.
A trance cabinet is still used today to condense spiritual energy but for more than just materialisation. It is also sometimes called the "black box" as it is generally black in colour. This is not only for Spirit's benefit but for the audiences; you can see energy better against a black or white background depending on the lighting.
Few, trance mediums use it in its original form with a front curtain. They are generally made of a wooden frame covered in black fabric. You can also get a Copper Pyramids which also condense spiritual energy and these are made of copper pipe, similar to a meditation pyramid.
Chakra
Energy centre of the life force in a person's aura, where energy is taken in and flows out. [Chakra is Sanskrit for Wheel]. There are seven main energy centres - Crown, Brow, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root.
Want to know more? Master Chou delivered a lecture about the human energy system - Evolving your Energy - purchase a copy from our downloads shop by clicking on this link.
Channelling
Channelling is a lighter form of physical mediumship to trance as Spirit do not blend as deeply with the medium or take over as much control of their energy system. Channelling is becoming more popular for both mediums and Spirit as it takes less strain on the mediums body and is easier to do in public arenas.
It is often confused with trance mediumship as to an untrained eye it can look similar. Channelling is also being used as a word to describe mental mediumship where proof of survival is not given, but this is not an accurate use.
Check out the article written by Sarah on channelling - Channelling and Trance Mediumship - click on this link.
Circle
A development circle is a group of people who meet regularly, usually in a sitting circle, and follow seance procedures under the guidance of a developed medium in order to improve their psychic and mediumistic abilities. Nowadays, no one does it under seances procedures anymore.
Circles can be "Open" or "Closed". Be sure to enquire which one they are before joining. Open means anyone can join at anytime; often these types of circle are for the curious. Closed means that everyone has been interviewed by the circle leader and there will be a limited number of members who are dedicated to developing. Most development occurs in a Closed Circle.

Master Chou prefers to call this a book as this is less rigid. The idea of a contract becomes very limiting as it feels as we have not choice but of course we do as we have free will. There are lessons and experience the Soul wants to have and it will be guiding us towards them. However, our free will can also manifest and that can take us of course or for time simply divert us.
