Ursula Roberts was born in England during world War I. She wrote that her first vision of an ethereal being occurred when she was a child. She saw what seemed to be a human figure clad in a pink robe hovering over the sea near Folkestone Leas. She never mentioned the encounter. A second vision came when she was a grown woman many years later. She was with her friend Lilian Davies, ready to eat lunch in the garden. That day she saw “three great sky-beings in the distant heavens.” Lilian also saw them, but the beings ignored the two women.

After many such visions, Ursula became a medium, demonstrating not only throughout Great Britain and Europe but many countries as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Egypt and Finland. She was well versed in and taught Psychometry, Clairvoyance, Astral Travel, Trance, Automatic Writing, Psychic Artistry, Healing, Direct Voice, and Telepathy. Her also wrote many books in an easy-to-understand style. 

Ursula was known for her ability to channel a spirit called Ramadahn while in trance. He would share his wisdom and knowledge with others at many Spiritualist circles around England. The transcripts of Ramadahn’s answers to a variety of questions have been published in multiple volumes. One of the topics he spoke about was healing.

When asked how a regular person could heal, Ramadahn said all a person needs is a “sufficient understanding that you yourself are a spirit.” Anyone can draw upon the spiritual power which is constantly at work in the world. This can be done by putting oneself into a quiet, meditative state and allowing the warmth and peace to come through you. “Spiritual healing is very much a living influence transmitted from soul to soul, and it will flow from your soul into theirs.”

One question presented to the spirit is very appropriate at this time. A person asked about epidemics and if there was a way to avoid them. Ramadahn said that spiritual healing wasn’t limited, but to deal with large epidemics, community consciousness must be raised. People must not give in to fear

“When you absorb such thought vibrations of fear or disharmony you become part of the whole sea of infectious disease, but if you are steadfast in daily indrawing the power of Light and breathing out healing and harmony to those around you, then you can cancel this negative community power of thought and keep yourself and the people near you in harmony and freedom of disease.”

Ursula Roberts died October 27, 1996, but her autobiography and the words of Ramadahn still live on in her various books.
