What is Channeling?

Channeling is a natural form of communication between humans and angelic beings, nature spirits, non-physical entities, or even animals and pets or a person’s Higher Self. A channeler is very similar to a language translator or interpreter. They allow themselves to sense the non-verbal communication from another being and then translate it into human words.

We live in a multidimensional universe, most commonly, the term channeling refers to communication with spirit guides, who are astral, and with high-plane teachers. Although the universe contains an infinite variety of consciousness that could theoretically be channeled, in practice channels usually tune in to that with which they have a meaningful connection and which is well-suited to the channeling process.

A channeler can choose who or what they want to channel. As long as the other party has an interest in communicating, the link is made and the channeling can begin. For instance, many people channel Archangel Michael. If he agrees to communicate with the channeler, the flow of non-verbal information begins. The channeler receives the raw information at a high sensory level and then converts it into human language. A channeler can choose who or what they want to channel as long as the other party has an interest in communicating, the link is made and the channeling can begin.

Who am I ? The Question is an eternal one. If you do not answer it, you will never be able to distinguish between what your essential self wants and what other people manipulate you to want. The Most traditional answer in Western culture is that you are a creature, a creation of God, a creation that is flawed in vital ways Conceived and born in original sin, you are someone who must constantly struggle to obey the rules laid down by that God, lest you be dammed. It is an answer that is depressing in many ways. Further , this view does not really encourage you to think about who you really are, as the answer has already been given from a “higher” source. The Modern answer to “who am I” is that you are a meaningless accident. Contemporary science is associated with a view of reality that see the entire universe as totally material, governed only by fixed physical laws and blind chance. It just happened that, in a huge universe, the right chemical reaction we call life formed and eventually evolved into you. Bu there is no inherent meaning in that accident, and no spiritual side to existence.

Channeling is the communication of information to or through physically embodied human being from a source that is said to exist on some other level or dimension of reality than the physical as we know it, and that is not from the normal mind (or self) of the channel Channeling has been around since the beginning of recorded history Clearly, a great many people are experiencing a hunger for personal meaning in their lives, for deeper-some way spiritual connectedness and fulfillment No psychical energy is a part of all of us, and the reason that we label it entities and outside of us is a part of us is that it’s the only way we can communicate with it right now.

Who can Channel?

Channeling is similar to playing piano: almost anyone who applies himself can probably learn to do it, at least a little, and even a casual study of it can be enriching. However, learning to do it well requires a lot of energy and commitment, and obviously, it comes more easily to some people than to others. Furthering our skills in this lifetime, whatever they are, can lead to being born with more “talent” in those areas in future lifetimes.

We plan each lifetime before it begins. If we desire to channel during that lifetime, we usually make agreements to do so with the particular source(s) we wish to channel, and plan the timing and the form of the channeling we will do so that it supports our life task. We can design our overleaves and even our body to facilitate channeling. Some channels have idiosyncratic bodies for this reason. Not every–one who channels planned to do so before his lifetime began, but someone is not likely to be motivated to invest the energy to learn to channel well unless channeling fits somehow in his life plan.

Channeling is usually not of strong interest to the soul until the mature and old soul ages, because before that, our lessons emphasize external factors. If channeling is part of someone’s life plan, much preparation may occur on both conscious and unconscious levels during the channel’s lifetime before he begins to channel. Not coincidentally, I began channeling shortly after completing a year of intense emotional catharsis and healing, working with someone who was both a therapist and a psychic–I needed to empty my “vessel” of old baggage before I could become a clear channel.

Misconceptions about Channeling

Contrary to popular belief, entities do not generally use human language, because it is considered awkward and clumsy. The richer essence of their message is conveyed through an elegant series of sensory feelings.

Another popular misconception is that a channeler must go into a deep trance state, or surrender their body and/or mind to the entity. In reality, the entity does not have to enter the body or mind of the channeler and, in fact, can actually be millions of light years away or even in another dimension. However, channeling is similar to any other form of communication – verbal communication, body language, physical senses, art, and so on – that expresses a message which is then subject to the receiver’s understanding. Most well-known channelers today remain aware of themselves and the activities going on in the room, while at the same time focusing their senses and attention on the entity they are channeling. Contemporary channelers do not generally leave their bodies or surrender their minds during the communication process.

Some people fear channeling because they don’t understand the process. They think that a negative or dark entity can come in without permission. This is not the case. The channeler always retains the choice of who or what they want to channel, just like they have the choice of who they want as friends or business associates. The channeler can insist on knowing the name and origins of any entity or angelic being who wants to communicate with them. Experienced channelers understand that just because an entity wants to communicate doesn’t mean that the entity is necessarily enlightened. The channeler should discern for themselves the level of enlightenment of the entity and the value of their information. Some entities just like to chat; others can have an agenda; and there are also many entities who have a desire to provide enlightened guidance and counsel.

Channeling pets

Channeling pets is one of the easiest forms of this art. Pets, of course, do not use human language, but they have a strong desire to communicate with humans. Simply release the concept that you’ll hear words and allow yourself to “feel” your pet. As you open yourself to the feelings, the mind will naturally begin to place simple words or phrases to the feelings so that your human consciousness will have a greater understanding of the communications.

If you want to communicate back to your pet, let go of the need to use words. Instead, allow your feelings to open and flow to your pet. In the early stages of working with this type of communication, it may be helpful to imagine pictures or visuals when communicating with your pet. As you become more confident and proficient in this type of communication, the information will flow quickly and easily, and you won’t have the need to use pictures or images.

Discernment

The ability to recognize truth is crucial. Truth is always associated with love. It has a certain feel about it. It is not necessarily comfortable, but it is penetrating and ultimately liberating.

Always use discernment when it comes to channeling or, for that matter, any verbal or non-verbal communication. When listening to a non-physical entity through a human channeler, ask yourself if the energy feels right, if the message is empowering and inspiring, if the message is intelligent/high-consciousness, and if the entity understands the human journey.

Clairaudient Channeling

During the widespread type of channeling, the medium is either fully conscious or in a mildly altered state. He/she gains the attention of the “minds ear “ by quieting themselves and listening within, even though he can hear ongoing outer sounds at the same time. He is then able to hear a voice or sense some kind of language transmission seeming to come to them from within.

Clairvoyant Channel

The Clairvoyant channel reports receiving information in the form of imagery seen with the mind’s eye. The channel believes, however, that the imagery in question is not normal mental imagery but is generated from outside them. Theses images can be like two -dimensional photographs, or three-dimensional holograms, or moving sequences. Such imagery can be of concrete objects, recognizable events, abstract light patterns, or patterns of energy. Like the clairaudient channel, the clairvoyant can supposedly distinguish between material coming from her own mind material from outside it.

Akashic Channeling

A special Kind of Clairvoyant channeling is known as reading the akashic records. The akashic records are purported by various esoteric teachings to be the universal memory bank, the cosmic record of all that has happened thus far in the cosmos. Data are supposedly recorded on the “inner planes” in a frequency domain set aside for the purpose. It can be likened to a vast holographic video disk capable of storing unlimited data.

Full Trance Channeling

Perhaps the most perplexing kind of channeling, and yet the kind most popularized by the media, is what is called full trance. The medium or channel appears to go unconscious or into trance mediumship, and someone or something else appears to occupy the brain and the body and use it for speaking, writing, or moving about. Usually, when a trance channeling session is over and the individual regains normal consciousness, he or she cannot remember anything that occurred during the session. Occasionally, however, a channel remembers an out of body experience of floating near the ceiling and watching, his or her body being used by another.
