Ghost Groups

Ghost groups are an interesting concept, no I’m not referring to the type of people who go out and spend the night in a haunted house and attempt to track down un- restful spirits that have not passed over to the other side yet.
My attentions were brought to the term ‘Ghost Group’ whilst studying Esoteric Healing with the International Network of Esoteric Healers about 10 years back.

We were told of a group of spiritual healers whom were working together in the 1960’s in the town of Brighton here in the u.k, this town was well known at the time because of the gang culture which led to rival Mods & Rocker groups violently clashing on a regular weekend basis.

The 1979 filmQuadrophenia, based on the 1973 Record Album by the band
‘The Who’celebrated the mod movement, in it we see gangs travelling up to Brighton on scooters as part of the Mod movement in 60s Britain, culminating in a day’s fun at the seaside and finally ending in violent clashes with the rivalling gangs of leather clad ‘Rockers’ whom had also made the weekend pilgrimage for precisely the same reason.
Many young people were killed and suffered awful injuries as a result of the regular brawling despite efforts by local authorities & police to prevent such incidents occurring.

A concerned group of Spiritual Healers came up with the brainwave of forming what became known as a ‘Ghost group’ so called because the intentions were that the group should send out healing & positive energies in a very focused way together twice a week at the same time, directed towards the same place, a landmark within the community area (which was a known black spot for the violent clashes.)
As the group would not be present at the troubled spot, but chose to send distant healing energies instead, this was how the term ‘Ghost group’ was to be coined.

This experiment continued for a number of weeks, with the group of healers making a full commitment to send out healing vibrations of love and light to the designated area.
Just out of interest, the local police authority were also informed of the experiment and asked to monitor if any changes did in fact occur.
After a period of time, noticeable results were reported back to the healers. The regular clashes lessened to the point of becoming practically non existent anymore.
The experiment proved to be a great success much to the delight of the healing group, as a result of this other community groups of a similar nature were also set up, word got around throughout the country and lots of offshoots were to sprout up for various community problems to be resolved.

Globally healing groups across our planet continue to send out individual & combined energies which project positive thoughts, well wishes, prayers, light & love to designated troubled spots where the needs are great.

As a Priestess of the Goddess I believe that we should always try to resolve conflicts in the most logical way that we are able, but sometimes when we have tried working with the logical methods and they have failed to show improved results, or it may simply not be within our own power to act then it is worth trying illogical methods to create positive transformations.
As a simple little experiment just try it this week in your own lives, take notice of some area of conflict within you own immediate environment and commit to sending out the most positive prayers and healing thoughts, symbols, whatever you feel inspired to use.
. Continue to send out these focused intentions whenever you can and monitor for yourself over time if it makes a difference.


If you’re involved with any spiritual group that comes together on a regular basis perhaps you may discuss this idea further and set to work together on some community resolve for an agreed problematic area.
