Cenotaph Representation
The SNU have started a campaign for the religion of Spiritualism to be represented at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day. Duncan Gascoyne said 'Although the petition has been submitted by the Union, it has been submitted on behalf of Spiritualists everywhere, not just SNU members. If we succeed in winning representation, it would be nice to think that the leaders of all the different Spiritualist organisations would take turns representing the religion of Spiritualism at the Remembrance Day Service'.

We think this is an excellent campaign and agree that it is about time Spiritualism was properly recognised and accepted. This also complements our New Freedom Campaign and we would ask that you please sign both petitions.
The New Freedom Campaign
The original Freedom Campaign led to the Repeal of the Witchcraft Act and its replacement with the Fraudulent Mediums Act. As the Act was repealed without any consultation on Sunday 25th May the SWA have started a new campaign to ask the government to:
Create legislation that recognises genuine mediumship and healing and gives statutory protection to genuine Spiritualist, spiritualistic and spiritual practitioners.

Sending Light Round the Globe
Due to the many changes that are now taking place on the planet we would like to unite all Light Workers together to help focus light. By doing this and joining our pledge you will help humanity make a much smoother transition through these challenging times into Ascension.
Starting this Saturday we are asking that you all spend just 5 minutes every Saturday to send light round the world. All you need to do is to visualise the world engulfed in brilliant white light and imagine that white light filled with love. Just hold that image for as long as possible and ask that the world be filled with love today and every day. It doesn't matter that we will all do this at different times. In fact that is even better because the effect will be continuous.

ECHO – The European Confederation of Healing Organisations
The European Confederation of Healing Organisations is an umbrella group that covers 4 countries and 7 main organisations. They currently have about 28,000 members. Their member organisations are: WA; Dachverband Geistiges Heilen e.V., Reiki Alliance Deutschland (Germany), UK Healers, AHA, The Spiritual Workers Association (Great Britain), Anetecor (Rumania), BMSI (Austria).
ECHO was formed to enable Healing Organisations across Europe to join forces and speak with one voice to the European Parliament. Our politicians constantly tell us that we are all members of one community and that the aim of all member states adopting EC legislation is to harmonise laws across the European Union. If this is the case then all member countries of the European Community should accept and recognise that mediums and healers have the right to practise and work in all member states. Currently this is not the case.
ECHO is campaigning for exactly that right but they need your help. To get the attention of politicians you must be able to show that you are speaking for a large group of people. In other words you have to show that you have so much support that it will affect the number of votes they get. To get the attention of politicians in Europe they need to have at least 100,000 members. Yes this sounds quite a lot – but there are millions of people across Europe who believe in healing, many of whom are not allowed to practice openly for fear of prosecution.
There are several ways you can help.
If you are a healing organisation in Europe – join ECHO
If you are an individual in Europe who believes in healing and mediumship join ECHO
You can also join the SWA and this will also help ECHO by boosting its member organisations numbers
You can donate money to ECHOs campaign
If you are a lobbyist by profession you could donate some of your time and expertise to the campaign.

Triangles: Working to Heal Humanity
A growing number of people, from all walks of life, are familiar with the healing influence of Divine energy. So many of our present day ills stem from blocking the natural flow of energy from our higher natures - from the God within. The need to re-connect, to re-create the circuit through which Soul energy can flow, is a crucial step in the healing process.
What is true for the individual is equally true for humanity as a whole. Many of the problems that we face in the world exist because we have distorted or blocked the divine circulatory flow from our higher, spiritual nature. Humanity today needs to strengthen this inner connection to enable the Soul energies of light and love to qualify human thought, activity and relationship. Our separative thinking has led us to lose sight of the reality of inner connectedness. The split between humankind's spiritual essence and its outer form has generated many forms of disease. Not only does it cause physical disease, but also psychological disturbance. The effects of this split can be seen too in other forms of disease such as the pollution and the environmental degradation that threaten so much of life on earth.
How can we strengthen the flow of Soul energy into humanity?
One initiative that is working to establish this re-connection, and which involves tens of thousands of people throughout the world is Triangles. Triangles is an idea for using techniques of meditation and visualisation to create a unifying web of light and goodwill through which spiritual energy can flow into human minds and hearts. People link each day in thought in threes, visualising each person as a point of light and feeling goodwill flowing between them. Having linked up in this way, light and love are visualised pouring into the triangle, energising it, vitalising it until it becomes a triangle of scintillating brilliance. The energy is then released, directed out from each point of the triangle as light and goodwill, to flow across the network of triangles being created by people around the world.
The Triangles service is challenging, yet really quite simple – a few minutes dedicated thought each day. It is not necessary to be physically present with your two co-workers or to synchronise the timing of the link.
Triangles workers use the Great Invocation to focus their appeal for light, love and spiritual direction. The Great Invocation voices, in a simple and direct way, humanity's need for light on its path, love in its relationships and the spiritual will to work for the good of the whole.
The Great Invocation
(Adapted version)
From the point of Light within the Mind of God, Let light stream forth into human minds, Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God, Let love stream forth into human hearts, May the Coming One return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known, Let purpose guide all little human wills —The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the human race, Let the Plan of Love and Light work out, And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
The work is an act of service, a service to humanity and a service to the evolutionary process working out on our planet.
But why form triangles? A triangle is a powerful symbol of the divine and the idea of the trinity lies at the heart of many spiritual traditions. It is an archetypal form, a basic energy pattern within the universe. The triangle acts as a focus for spiritual energy and energies, for energies emanating from the Soul. Triangles seeks to re-connect humanity to its Soul so that the healing energies of light and love can flow into the world, bringing goodwill and enlightened thought to bear upon world problems, healing divisions and fostering right human relations.
