Pendle, Oh Pendle

6 March, 2023 by Tony Clarkson

Today, we completed our musical recording of an old local folk song about Pendle Hill, sung by our very own angel, the talented Vanessa Reynolds, who is also the manager of the Sanctuary. The song has been skilfully arranged and edited, and features backing vocals by Wayne Avanson, a member of our inner Joseph group, with additional support provided by Sanctuary acupuncturist Sue Keedy, who also possesses an angelic voice. For an exclusive preview, click the player below and please pay particular attention to the second and last verses.

‘Old Pendle’ by The Sanctuary of Healing

This was truly a family affair, and there’s no way I can wait until the film is complete before sharing the song with you as it’s absolutely amazing, and I’m incredibly excited about it! Therefore, and as a precursor to the film, allow me to share with you an advance airing of the song – you are the first listeners (excluding our producers and singers, of course) ever to hear this version.

We are currently producing a short film that illustrates the significance of the location of the Sanctuary (the home of the WMA and the Joseph Communications) which is situated at the geographical centre of the UK. This location is a focus for magical, mystical and, most importantly, spiritual energies and is situated directly beneath Pendle Hill, which is historically renowned for its witch lore and also as the location where George Fox received inspiration leading to the establishment of the Quaker movement. 

If you would like to take part in our next World Meditation Alliance group sessions:

  • Friday, 10th March (with Tony in the UK)
  • Monday, 13th March (with Mark in the US)
  • Tuesday, 14th March (our second UK-based meeting hosted by Charlotte)

Symbols of Intention

1 March, 2023 by Tony Clarkson

The word Intention crops up in so many areas. I am clear that an intention is the first step in creating our future. Here is a beautiful article my wife, Sheila, gave me about how candles have a Universal Intention:

Candles are one of the few objects that have a universal appeal and are ancient, having been used by different cultures throughout history. They are not only beautiful to look at but have cross-cultural significance, which has contributed to their longevity. In many major religions, candles play a significant role as a symbol of passion, devotion, and connection to a higher power. Lighting a candle for someone signifies an intention to pray for them, and it is a practice that is widely adopted across different faiths.


The practical function of candles in everyday life cannot be overstated. They cast a soft, unobtrusive light that creates a restful and reflective atmosphere, perfect for relaxation or meditation. The idea of candles being used as a symbol of peace and tranquillity is one that is embraced across many cultures. In Christianity, lighting a candle signifies the remembrance of light being anchored into the world, while in Hinduism, it is a strong symbol of hope and prosperity. In Buddhism, the burning candle flame represents the light of the Buddha’s teachings.

The use of candles and incense also invokes the idea of change, which is a constant in life. Just as candles cannot exist without fire, humans cannot exist without a spiritual life. Candles are a reminder that we are part of a larger universe and that we can tap into our spiritual selves to effect change in our lives.

The use of candles as a symbol of intention is deeply ingrained in different cultures and religions worldwide. They have both practical and symbolic significance, serving as a source of light, hope, and connection to a higher power. They remind us of the power of intention, and the importance of creating a positive vision for our future.

Spotting the Miracle: The Sequel!

22 February, 2023 by Tony Clarkson

A miracle from one of our Friday family of meditators: 

Over the last two weeks, I shared two amazing, miraculous experiences that happened to my immediate family at the point of my brother’s passing. One of our weekly meditators shared this story with me and gave me permission to pass it on. I will refer to Her as Alice (although this is not her real name). 

Alice has a husband and children and they live in a rented house. They have lived there happily for a good few years. Recently, the landlord decided he wanted to sell the house and warned them that he needed them out and would be issuing two months’ notice. 


The discussions with him were strained and, even though Alice explained that they could not find anything suitable to rent or buy (given the current state of the market), he made it clear that the house was going to be sold shortly and they must vacate. 

Alice speaking: 

During the last month our meditations have been based on the topic of Empathy, and during this period the landlord asked for a face-to-face meeting to discuss the future. 

As a total surprise to myself and my husband, our landlord had completely changed his position! He talked about how tough it is to get on the housing ladder and described how he had been considering his own position – that he didn’t need the money from the house sale and that protecting our family was important to him. 

Ultimately, he has given us a year to either find an alternative or arrange a buyout. This was a complete turnaround, and I am totally convinced that the Empathy vibration and weekly meditations made all the difference. 

We were both elated after the meeting. Not only did it relieve a lot of pressure and give us time to make plans, but his compassion was very uplifting. In that moment, I fully understood the significance of the Intention of Empathy that Tony had been reading out in the meditations. Our landlord had reflected on his position and chosen kindness and compassion in his approach. 

I genuinely recognised that ‘wow moment’ – a moment of alignment with the divine. I feel that our meditations are making a difference to attitudes. The next intention is ‘Trust’ and I am now able to give myself completely to the Intention. I trust that things are going to be just fine. I’m not alone.

Our new Intention from Monday is Trust and the words behind the Intention are really exciting, we have a window of opportunity to strengthen and deepen our individual links and spiritual connections like never before.

Spotting the Miracle

14 February, 2023 by Tony Clarkson

This is a piece I wrote about an amazing spiritual experience my direct family had the privilege to go through recently with the passing of my brother in hospital. I was humbled by the large number of people from our group that responded and decided to put the event on the website. I do this to share how being aware of situations from a spiritual perspective can bring wonder and awe into a sad situation.

Last week my younger brother, Philip, died of a new and rare illness called Vexas syndrome.

What I would like to convey in this message is the incredible events leading up to his passing.

He had been in intensive care for six weeks and we, alongside the medical team, decided that it was appropriate not to resuscitate. He was moved out of the ICU ward on to another ward. It was a very busy ward.

The family comprises of myself, my sister and, would you believe, our mother who is 95. Two out of three of us were visiting every day, with Saturday being my sister’s day off.

The Saturday that Phil died, Jill (our sister) had an intuition that she would like to attend with us but when the three of us arrived, we saw for the first time the busy ward he had been moved on to.

It was very, very busy and noisy as we had entered at visiting time. We managed to squeeze around his bed and close the cubicle curtains. As usual, I connected by putting my hand on his heart. The energy was enormous! I suggested that Jill did the same. She could really feel the energy. Our mother then joined in and also felt the enormous energy.

At the point where the three of us were connected to Phil, the ward became silent, and I mean silent, not just quiet. We experienced that total silence for at least ten minutes, and there was an incredible feeling of love and peace.

Phil died peacefully within an hour. We were there and able to be part of the process.

Looking back, I realise that what happened was that time stood still for us and Philip. We had connected into that Divine passing.

Defeating Negative Vibrations

13 January, 2023 by Tony Clarkson

We can use anything in a good way or a bad way. The actual thing used remains the same no matter our intention. Consider how a weapon can be used to kill or protect. The weapon that kills is the same weapon before and after the act that kills. It is what we do with it that makes a difference. It is the same principle with vibrational energy. It is there to be used but it can be used in both directions. What we do with it matters.

Human beings use energy in every breathing moment. We use it to create our reality and that reality can be positive or negative. For example, we can create anger or get angry at a situation or person. But anger has a powerful resonance that will affect you by emitting a negative feeling. If it is aimed at a person, they will unconsciously receive it.

The pool of all human consciousness that acts like a collector of similar resonance will increase in strength. This pool of anger then reflects back onto humanity, making people feel deeper, that which might have been a minor irritation. Make no mistake, in this situation, the anger you created has just increased in strength within you. It will grow and express itself in situations that previously did not make you angry. You become the product of your thoughts.

So, what do we do?

In this scenario, we don’t do anger. That’s the one thing that we don’t do.

But how do we NOT do that which we have become such an expert at doing? It takes practice, almost like a new hobby. You are learning whole new ways of being. I shall keep with the same analogy of anger, or let’s say road rage as a more specific aspect.

First, be aware of all aspects of your road rage. Do you say things to yourself? I bet he is going to cut me up, or he did that on purpose! Do you see the offending driver as a demon with your inner vision?

Notice the inner-feelings, spot where they live within you. This is a big step! You are now noticing the process of what is happening rather than being the product of the emotion.

Now, being aware of exactly how this is affecting us, we can do something different. We plan that change in advance by rehearsing a new inner-speech and a new inner-vision, both of which will lead to neutralising that crippling gut emotion we all feel when angry (or afraid).

So, just as an example, you might cut short the inner-speak when it starts like a worn-out record and change it into a positive statement. The statement can be neutral, like:

I better hold back. That driver needs space.

Or my personal favourite:

I bless that driver so that he may proceed safely for himself and others.

Change the inner image. Again, by rehearsal: With your inner eye picture the driver as somebody you are close to or know well. Put your awareness into your lower stomach and pay attention to your breathing.

If you do this, you will break the old pattern that leads to the heightened emotions of anger or rage. The anger will not happen, and you will have lightened your bodies negative emotional load. You will have lowered the universal load of anger, helping humanity regain its natural positive nature.

Working on, and neutralising, negative emotions is a huge step towards clearing our spiritual pathway. A huge step also for deeper meditational experience. In a future article, I will take this one step further by focusing on forgiveness.

The Right Place, the Right Time: The Perfect Positioning of the Sanctuary

13 December, 2022 by Tony Clarkson

In this article, Tony Clarkson reflects on the origins of The Sanctuary of Healing in Langho, Lancashire, England.

Tony:

In my last blog, I explained how the earth has power points and also a grid of connecting Ley Lines. Our planet is the macrocosm and we human beings the microcosm, each possessing a system of meridians and chakras. Humans are, in miniature, a replica in energetic terms of the planet’s spiritual underpinnings, each of us, nevertheless, being immensely powerful, spiritually speaking, and capable of channelling positive transformational energies to humanity and our world.

The Sanctuary of Healing is a hub for such energies – the home of The Joseph Communications and the World Meditation Alliance – as well as having its own unique identity as a complementary healing centre, sourcing and offering the very best vibrational therapies.

How did the Sanctuary come into being, fifteen years ago, in exactly the right location?

As its founder, I would originally have said it came to fruition via a series of good decisions and good luck.

Fifteen years later I know better – its creation had nothing to do with good decisions or good fortune… it was ‘ordained’ ( I can’t think of a better word); part of a bigger plan – a Divine plan – that would either be carried out as intended or not. I add ‘or not’ because I now recognise that every one of us has free will to either work in harmony with Divine intention or choose not to.

Luckily, and I have to say, initially unwittingly, I was to play a key part in that plan to create this amazing space we call the Sanctuary of Healing.

From initial planning to the opening ceremony three years later, everything flowed:

– The right building became available at the right price in the right situation.

– The right architects, who just happened to have a time slot, became available.

– The right building company came on board, understanding that this project was special.

I also now realise, after many ups and downs in my life, that there is a lot of truth in those old phrases, ‘If life feels like walking through treacle, change direction,’ and ‘If you’re in a hole, stop digging.’

Watching the Sanctuary grow from the ground up and becoming aware of the series of miracles that assisted that growth was process of deep, deep inner joy, coupled with a growing inner knowing that something special was in the making.
