About Tim

Tim has been a patron and a member of the JCPF for many years and we know him as a highly conscientious and deeply committed psychic. We are delighted he has the time to provide Tarot course services to the JCPF. Like Sheree Jones he teaches the Rider Waite Pack as this deck is widely recognised as teaching standard enabling pupils to move to other packs of their choice as and when thereafter. Interest in learning Tarot is high and currently we have pupils wanting to start. With Sheree unable to begin another course programme until September October time what better time to introduce another teacher!

Tim is a local full-time professional Tarot Reader based in Emsworth. He is a Moderator for TABI (Tarot Association of the British Isles) and a Tarot Professionals ACE (Accredited & Certified Excellence). He has developed psychically over many years including a number of mediumistic development courses with the JCPF.

During 20 years of study and 14 years as a professional reader Tim continues to explore and learn of the wondrous paths of knowledge and understanding revealed by the Tarot.


The JCPF Introductory Tarot course

In this 12 week introduction to Tarot Tim guides you through the meanings of all 78 cards. That is all the 22 Major Arcana cards, the 4 Minor Arcana suits and all the court cards. You will be shown how to do simple 1 and 3 card readings, plus become familiar with the 10 card Celtic Cross spread and be able to do accurate readings for yourself and others. Tim believes that once someone has started on the journey to learn the Tarot it is a never ending journey of self discovery and new adventures. Join Tim and start your journey on Monday 21st June 2010 at The Buckland Community Centre North End.

The course uses “The Rider Tarot Deck” and is a combination of tutor based instruction with handouts and practical exercises with some fun homework to be conducted between sessions. Students are encouraged to practice and do their own exploring of this fascinating subject between sessions to get the most out of it. No previous knowledge of the Tarot is required, although an interest and an inquisitive mind a definite advantage.


The next 2010 Tarot Course starts JUNE!


Tarot courses are 12 weeks in duration -one class per week. The intermediate and Advanced courses run during the first part of the year -if you want to start with the Introductory course it begins on Monday evening 21st June 2010. Let us know if you are interested -their are still some places available!

Would you like Healing?

Healing is always given at our Psychic & Spiritual Demonstration events by request -usually after the demonstration has finished. Please don't feel embarrassed to ask! There are always healers in attendance at our public events.

Healing DOES work -as this testimony from a grateful patient shows:

When I expressed a wish to extinguish resistance of the body and mind yesterday (I just realised that the body has become a long-term store house for imprints of unpleasant emotions!), the healing given by Grace somehow resulted in an experience which I sense was/is elemental in the path of relinquishing resistance and to distinguish between non-resistance and apathy: when Grace was working around my head, it felt at one point as if a plug was removed from my right ear followed by what seemed like a release of blockage in my head through the ear in a whoooshing sound! I feel absolutely brilliant, much lighter mentally..... and if someone speaks to me with harsh words which at the time may upset me greatly and deeply, it feels as if I now have a connection with this lighter way of being.... which is truly very important for the evolution and expansion of Humanity on this plane.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you, and millions other "thank you"s!



Note! The JCPF has regular monthly demonstrations of mediumship and healing at the Buckland Community Centre -on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every MONTH. See menu

Feedback from 'Knockin on Heavens Door'

Here is some feedback from pupils to Tony the teacher on the course!

"Last week I had a very vivid dream from some one under the sea who was teaching me to dive in and out of old wrecks. They spoke when I meditated too and want me to adhere to rules of the sea (what ever that means!). I also had a clear premonition that I should set my alarm clock one night as my son would not wake up on time and this was very true and saved me from driving him 12 miles to college when he did not wake up on time !"

" I have often heard from my Dad in Spirit as he tries to encourage me in my work and I think the psychic and spiritual development. He has come through to many Mediums plus myself (I see and hear from him from time to time) and indeed he was the elderley gent that A____ picked up in circle last week. When I spoke to A_____, he had received evidence of pain in one of his hands and Dad had very bad arthritis in his hand and he also struggled on breathing when in the hospital. He did have a walking stick so A_____ was spot on! It is very lovely to have that encouragement - there is reason why he comes through so often linked to when he was alive and we had a very hard childhood."

"This week, I saw a female communicator who is very much with the light and seems to be on a high frequency. She showed me a few things which I can't remember but I did remember that she showed me a long letter or scroll from my sister. When I spoke to my sister she is applying for a degree and has to do a long application so assume this may be what it was. I get given the feelings and see pictures and feel much of the pictures are symbolic. That energy has given me glimpses of possible future paths for myself and others. She is very loving."


"I did see your Wolf man Guide early on when you first started talking but did not know whether to let you know - perhaps we should just say what we see in class !"

"I saw an eye on you when you talked just before some one else who mentioned they had seen an eye. They just show for a second or so and then it is gone."

"I do Angel Card readings but also connect with Spirit and do automated hand writing for people to get other guidance but feel it is a bit slow!! I prefer reading for friends and gentle people I know It is perhaps time for me to work more with this and see what happens. Thanks for your help so far - it is very useful to me."





Feeback from 'Crossing the River'

Here is some feedback from pupils on the course to Tony the teacher!

"I had an out-of-body experience last night, which I thought I'd tell you about.
I distinguish between what I'd call a regular dream, and astral travelling, by one
fundamental difference: I'm fully conscious - as aware of myself and my environment
as I am right now sitting at this computer. I can look around and see the same level
of clarity that I see with my physical eyes. Other senses are there too - ability
to think, feel, just like being wide awake on planet Earth.

Quite often these experiences begin with me having a regular dream, during which
something triggers an awakening. It's as if I realise where I am, and there's a shift
whereupon I become aware sensually of my surroundings. The old dream state dissipates,
my senses heighten and I become conscious of being in this other world. It's very much
like waking up - in the normal dream state, I'm along for the ride and not in control.
But this is markedly different.

This is what I experienced last night: It was night time, with no sources of light
around me, but the ambient light was somehow high enough for me to see. I was on a
tundra - a smoothly undulating terrain, lightly dusted with snow. There were peculiar
formations of snow. You know when children make giant snowballs, and as they begin to
melt they become faceted? They looked just like that.

The air was warm, like a summer's night. I flew across the terrain, like a bird, arms
out to my sides like wings. I could feel the warm air on my body. It felt incredibly
natural, as if I was experienced at doing such a thing. I made a barrel-roll, like
an old biplane - very enjoyable. Despite being fully conscious of this, I've come to
realise that my self in those other places must be different from the self I know, but
at the same time, it's me, as I know myself here. I say this because of my reaction to
flying. If I was to fly across London right now, I'd have a considerably different
reaction!"


"I kept rather quite last night and in the last week as i was not quite sure the cause of the changes that i found occurring within my being. As you know i have entered into a new relationship and i feel that something not only physically has shifted, but also emotionally and spiritually. I have experienced this before during courses where i seem to go on a personal pathway that evolves my whole being. What i have noted is that i feel a deep sense of contentment within me. I didn't really feel any effects from last week, or so i thought! I noticed that this level of happiness, contentment, of deep peace has remained with me. Whatever is going on around me or anything that is directed toward me seems to just fall. It's like the scene from the Matrix when Neo is so connected that the bullets all stop and fall to the ground. At work people have come to me in a bad mood or looking to argue with someone, i feel myself extending kindness without even thinking or willing it, it is just happening, and i watch their faces look slightly confused and then they look and they smile and their whole energy has changed from hostility to one that is open and relaxed. Several times this week, people have queued on the till i was on, when there was several colleagues behind me! When they asked them to come over, they either just stared at them or said "no thanks I’ll stay here" It's very odd, this has not happened as far as i know before! Something in the way i express my energy has changed and it bringing people to me!"


"Last night during the practice, i was feeling a bit sleepy, it was my second 10-hour day and i rushed from work to the class. Then during the practice, i think it was during the breathing the light in, i just lost sense of my physical body totally, it just wasn't there! All that i was aware of was the breath. At some point during the invocation that you did, i felt a cool breeze at the back of my neck, which quickly became hot as it went on, this heat grew into a disk shape at my back. I have a statue of the Buddha sat on a lotus and there is a disc behind him, it was like this shining as bright as a sun. The feeling was pulsating i could here a hummmmm going right through my body. This energy went above my head also. AS this was going on i felt so strong, so peaceful, i felt like a huge mountain, solid unmoveable. My awareness expanded out of the room to i don't know ware. The power that was running through me was like nothing i have felt before."


"When you came to me, i can't even remember what you asked me "i felt like a crackle, and i became aware that i was in a room with other people and self conscious. I didn't really feel in a space to speak, i was just pulsing. As i sat with this energy i felt the awesome force this could be used for, the power to reach those suffering, it felt like i could literally end suffering of a person with them just looking into my eyes."

"I know that this energy is mine, it's a soul thing it's how i am wired. I am not clear how to really express it in the world thought! I thought it was a really great session tonight. But I am finding it difficult to tame my mind, a hundred thoughts are spinning around all the time. Any hints for how to quieten it?"

"I was fascinated by what you told me tonight especially the pendulum, very apt for now. However I didn't quite understand what you meant by the jewellery reference and the natural stones. As we are so tight for time in that building, I didn't want to press you but if you have any further explanation I would be very grateful. Many thanks for a great course."

"To be honest even though I haven't attended one of your classes for a long time I have still worked hard at the disciplines you teach. I just thank the Gods for steering me to you and the JCPF. Like thousands of others I was a dead man walking up until that time. There for the grace of God!"

"I had just spent six days with my girl getting back wednesday, retuning to work thursday for a 10 hour day, i was barely awake during class! So Acknowledge, Accept, Release! The whole foundation of mindfulness training!"

"After you had introduced my door keeper to me, whose description you gave was not far off the man that I had felt in the past. I had always considered him to be Jamaican rather than Morrocan. Certainly black and tall. However after you passed by I was also communicating with a lady, not sure if she was a guide but she had visited before when we were on the development course. This is the first time I think that I have found the same person twice other than my door keeper."

New Courses 2010!


More new courses for 2010 starting in SEPTEMBER -reserve your place nowl!
Calling all Psychic Travellers!

Calling all Psychic Travellers!


In addition to the Chakra Meditation courses that provide both introduction and ongoing psychic & spiritual development, fully fledged Tarot and Astrology programmes to advanced levels, a self managed Spiritual Healing programme that includes monthly workshops and short courses on object reading and healing -the JCPF has a new programme of psychic & spiritual development in 2010 entitled 'The Undiscovered Country'.

This programme consisting of three 10 week courses is for the psychic & spiritual enquirer and those who have already opened up their minds to the endless possibility of a soulful evolution in this lifetime. These courses are essentially practical with short tutorials to introduce each event and cover a range of psychic & spiritual subjects, each tailored to practical development sequenced to advance a pupils understanding and capability.

Although these subjects and practical's cover familiar territory; psychic sense development, healing and mediumship; the pupil's skill potential is fostered by the unique BodyMind meditation and philosophy developed by the JCPF President, Tony Ashenden since the early 1970's. In this programme you don't have to ask yourself -am I psychic? What kind of capability do I have? BodyMind magic is self enabling and starts you off in recognisable territory. What makes these courses so particularly interesting is they can be taken again and again -their interactive nature makes each presentation one of a kind. The development well is bottomless!

Tony will be teaching these courses which are an advance on the series of courses he has provided in previous years taught by himself and Steve Lashley. If you've read his book 'Tales of Bellerophon -On the Banks of the Shalimar' you will realise that his unique experiences will be a powerful influence upon each teaching event. A new book (likely more than one) as yet untitled will be published in 2010 and be ideal companion(s) to the 'The Undiscovered Country'.

Go to the 'Psychic & Spiritual Courses' menu to read more about these courses -when, where and fees.
