Channeling is the process of opening, coordinating, and merging one's energetic vortices in such a way that an opening or channel emerges between one awareness and another, which in turn allows perception (1 way) and/or communication (2 way) to take place. All beings channel. A herd of deer, for instance, is aware of the potential danger to one (self) or to all (the whole) by the same means. The deer receives communication by aligning its energy or instinct with an awareness (the whole) greater than itself. A potted plant similarly responds to the positive and negative vibrations of its environment. It is attuned to what is emanated or broadcast and responds accordingly. The process is also the same with humans, the difference being, that while all humans receive messages, attunements, healing, awareness and communication, not all humans innately or naturally transmit (2 way) the same. All humans can and will learn to channel because in your natural state (beyond the physical) you send and receive messages all of the time, even when your consciousness is not aware of it.
Channeling does not rely upon telepathy but telepathy is part of the channeling process because one must coordinate or merge their awareness with a greater essence in order to open a channel that can receive information telepathically. The same is true of Clairaudience, Clairsentience and Clairvoyance [clear hearing, clear sensing or knowing, and clear seeing respectively]. Those who correctly interpret the Tarot are also channels because they must open themselves to the guidance of the cards while merging what they receive with the energy of the questioner. Interpretive healers are also channels as are those who attune themselves to the needs of the physical body.
It is important to feel comfortable and at ease with a channeler because this more than anything else will determine the experience of the recipient. A channeler speaks words in response to a question put forth by the client/recipient, but where do these words come from? With few exceptions, channeled words are most often received as impressions, pictures, sounds and vibrations. The channeler converts these into a language synchronistic with the state or country of origin most familiar to both the channeler and the questioner. If both are fluent in more than one language, the brain will convert the energetic impressions into the language most commonly understood by both.
A good channeler is one who quickly and easily converts energy, sentience, images, sounds and more into a cohesive language pattern of significant importance to the questioner. A good channel first attunes him or herself to the questioner, allowing any boundaries or concerns that may exist to easily dissolve. Both the channeler and the questioner/recipient are responsible for the outcome of the experience they have invited. The channel must be adept and the recipient must be willing to open the energetic doorway to their beingness. This is easily accomplished with a simple willingness to expand one's awareness in order to receive the guidance or information indicated. Fear and/or uncertainly can slow, stall or otherwise influence the process. If this is the case a Guide, Angel or other Spiritual Essence may appear to smooth the way for all concerned. In rare instances, the channeler or questioner may be energetically unsuited for one another for one or more reasons. Examples of this might include barriers or conflicts surrounding religion versus spirituality or differences which may surface as a result of unrealistic expectations regarding the channeling process. It is best to resolve any issues or concerns quickly or to terminate the session allowing the grace and perfection of the moment to decide this. Good channeling requires balance and equanimity from all sides, even those which remain unseen.
It is also important to find alignment and correspondence with the being(s), energies or entities being channeled. For example, if a questioner is only interested in receiving channeled guidance from the Pleiadian star system regarding past, present, and future life on that system, the questioner would find greatest alignment with a channeler attuned to that energetic frequency. Likewise, a concentrated interest in one's past lives upon the Earth or future decisions regarding this life's journey may lead to alignment with a channeler of angelic beings, guides, or others who like myself, have known the individual and wish to be of expanded assistance. While many channelers are able to bring through a variety of energies, there is often a kinship or a deeper degree of comfort associated with one more specific energies. Past lifetimes upon this world and others that have included channeling and other psychic phenomena/arts can make a significant difference in how a channeler expresses his or her gifts. A bond, once established, is not easily broken and spiritual experiences often leave lasting impressions, even those that took place lifetimes ago.
A channeler is affected by everything in his or her environment just as you are affected by everything in yours. Channeled transmissions for the most part are received in a realm just beyond the physical, this somewhat ensures that everyday environmental concerns are set apart and do not interfere with the process. True channeling (beyond the mind's awareness) involves an alignment of body, mind, heart and spirit. A channeler who is beset by an issue or problem can still be an excellent and open channel (and may even find resolution to their concern) if he or she is able to set aside the personality self in favor of a higher awareness as part of the process. Channeling, like other forms of healing, unites the self with the whole; above all it is a method of bringing knowledge, wisdom and healing from one dimensional plane into another. The flow of energy does not distinguish between the channeler and the recipient, that is why for instance, all who attend a channeled event may feel its positive effects even if they only participate in the event indirectly.
A channeler's fear is his or her worst enemy and yours as well. Fear can project itself into a variety of places, patterns, and situations; look to your own life condition for confirmation of this. Channelers are not infallible in their ability to separate themselves from their fears, concerns, attitudes or issues any more than you are. Those who are most professionally adept are able to separate themselves from themselves, strange as that may seem. An attitude or opinion may be a personal block, but it need not be a professional one. An adept channel opens and aligns him or herself to the greatest awareness available in that moment. Positive past reinforcement ensures the experience will produce adequate results. All energies, seen and unseen, work cooperatively to ensure the highest possible outcome. Although channeling is not a science and cannot be defined as such, it is a cooperative system based upon the infinite intelligence of the universe designed to benefit, assist, and enlighten; the cooperation between the physical and the non-physical universe makes it so. It is the desire of all individuals and energies to move forward in service to the Whole, that being said, the channeling experience can bring the best of all worlds into your own.
Channeling, although universal in nature, is subjective and as such a good channel is a matter of personal opinion. It is best to begin the process with a personal affinity for the channeler as well as with the beings, entities, or energies to be channeled. Often, an unseen and unspoken relationship exists before the session ever takes place. This can signal a confirmation that beings or energies are wishing to distinguish themselves by assisting in the process early on. It is best to know beforehand how the channeler uses his or her gifts to the best of their ability. Do they prefer to greet you in person, by telephone, via Internet or personal letter? What is your own preference? Remember that channeling in its purest form is simply energy transiting and expressing itself within different realities and densities. This energy is the expression of the creative universe, it is not dependent upon and does not favor one form of manifestation over another, therefore, what form the channeling will take is up to the channeler and the recipient.
Channeling is a process; in and of itself it is not good or bad. That being said, its interpretation can be perceived as good or bad. It is always best to use one's discernment in all things including this. It is advisable to ask for knowledge, guidance or wisdom that seems beyond the reach of the individual rather than information which can be found easily enough. Wisdom expands beingness and soothes the soul while knowledge broadens the path of awareness. What is said during channeling is often not as important as how it makes you feel. Guidance can shelter you from indecision without removing the decision process from where it belongs -- with you.
Channeled guidance must be received by an open heart in order for it to be of greatest value. Your higher mind/awareness can assist in sorting and sifting that which is of utmost use to you in the present moment. Channeling will sometimes bring you a message that appears to make no sense at all and you may wonder if indeed it was meant for you. Most of the time it is meant for you--the you that you are still becoming. Spirit sees and knows what will be of service to you today, tomorrow and the next day even though you may not be looking that far ahead. Sometimes you will simply receive tomorrow's message today.
What is bad channeling? It is a good intention gone awry. It is the good intention of someone who is still learning to discern the voice of spirit from the voice of good intention. When you are the recipient of what you perceive as bad channeling it is best to remind yourself that each moment that presents itself to you is not without merit. Perhaps you have been called upon to assist someone who is still learning to channel, perhaps there is a message which even poorly conveyed, is meant for you to hear.
Approach each channeler and channeling session with an open mind and an open heart. Set an intention to receive the highest and best that spirit can offer you. Ask that pertinent messages continue to flow into your life even after the session is complete. If the opportunity presents itself, ask clear and concise questions. If you do not understand the guidance offered ask for further clarification. Ask for specific details if they can be offered and understand that there are some things you must do and discover for yourself. Allow yourself to receive the many benefits that channeled wisdom can offer including well-being, health and healing, wisdom, guidance, information, peace as well as answers to accommodate your concerns and issues. Intend to receive wisdom not only from one channeler or one session, but at all times and from all sources including the synchronicities that life offers moment by moment. Never forget that you are one with God/Goddess/All That Is/Creator and as such are entitled to receive all that the seen and unseen worlds have to offer. You are not here to be alone or to go it alone if you do not wish to. I pledge my own sentience and all of my resources to your continued journey of discovery.
