About channeling

Channeling is a method of connecting with the spirit world in order to gain guidance or information for oneself or for other people. Once contacted, the spirit guide can help us to grow in wisdom, can clarify our decisions and enable us to assist those around us on their journeys.

Most of us tend to assume that channeling is a gift given only to a handful of fortunate, naturally mystical people. The truth, however, is that anyone can channel; it doesn’t take years of training or hours of practice. It’s just that very few of us have “tuned-in” to our ability.

It’s necessary to quiet the mind to allow the busy, thinking and planning aspect of the mind to become still. How can a higher being contact us if we’re permanently preoccupied with earthly concerns?

The key to attracting a spirit guide is to quieten the mind:

Meditation is an excellent way of doing this; if you don’t already meditate, there are many techniques available.
Once your mind is rested, simply ask for guidance from a spirit guide.

The spirit guide can come in many forms: it could be an angel, a deceased loved one who has some special advice for you, or even a fairy. A true spirit guide will always tell you the truth (even if it’s not what you want to hear!) Your heart will know if you have truly connected because it will feel the genuine love and beneficence of the guide.

Different ways of channeling
Trance channeling – the channeler, working to help a client, enters into a meditative trance; the spirit speaks directly to the client, through the channeler who may be unaware of the words he or useful content she is speaking.

Automatic writing – the energies from the higher beings come through the channeler’s fingers as they write the guidance down, or type it on a keyboard.

Telepathy – the channeler mentally tunes in to the higher being and the guidance is transmitted by thoughts or feelings.
