channeling what is it and how to do it

Channeling is a form of mediumship that encompasses the transfer of information from a source perceived not to be of physical form. Psychic Channeling is performed in an altered state of mind or consciousness.

The history of channeling can be dated back thousands and thousands of years back, and has been a desire of people since the early ages to communicate with the passed on souls. Some psychics are able to achieve this altered state of mind or consciousness.

The Egyptians developed a way of communicating with the Gods in a highly developed art, while the Greeks had their Oracles. Other religions and cultures had their own way of communicating with their spiritual leaders.

There are various forms of channeling, which include:

Divination and Healing – performed by wizards, witches, wise women and soothsayers.
Possession – entity seizes a body that does not belong to them.
Psychics use depossession to exorcise attached spirits.
In the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, the world saw an increase in Spiritualism, emphasizing on survival of death and the purported anilities of mediums to contact the spirits of the dead. Then the wake of spiritualism, channeled works were produced, but channeling did not gain its stature back until the early 1960â€s to the 1970â€s.

The Process of Channeling

There are two forms of psychic channeling, spontaneous and induced. In spontaneous channeling, the channeler has no control over the situation, which involve falling into sudden trances stats or lapses of consciousness. Spontaneous channeling is the first ways of channeling when channelerâ€s first try to channel spirits, but they gradually learn to control.

Induction channeling methods vary depending on the psychic themselves, but it mainly entails an altered state of mind.

One form of channeling is mental channeling, which entails the meditation of thoughts, words, images, and emotions. It is accomplished in many ways.

In a state of trance the channelerâ€s personality becomes displaced and another entityâ€s personality takes on a temporary possession of the body, and the channeler takes on the entities characteristics. Upon return of the channeler, they are unaware of what was said or what happened. Mental channeling is also accomplished through sleeping and dreaming.

Theories Surrounding Channeling

There are many theories that surround channeling, and it is understandable why since it has been around for many years. The most basic is that the channeled spirits are who or what they say they are. The Ancients believed that they were indeed invoking the spirits of the passed on souls and that view is still held till today.

Well known Psychiatrist Sigmund Freud was a skeptic on the subject of channeling, believing it was merely wish fulfillment. While Dr. Carl G. Jung offered two explanations, the first being the channeled spirits came from complexes that had become repressed and separated from consciousness. The second was that they represented archetypes accessed to the collective consciousness , the shared rational memories residing in all humans.

Channeled information allegedly comes from:

- Spirit Guides

- Ascended Masters or Teachers

- Aliens

- Channeler's higher self

- Reading the Grid

Channeling used to be the rage and one of the methods used to access information from entities that were supposedly more evolved and could therefore enlighten us as we move through the evolution of consciousness and back to source.

Everything is frequency. When one channels they are tapping into, plugging into, the frequency of the grid program in which we experience. It's like plugging into a switchboard and connecting with someone at the other end. For example, you want to channel Archangel Michael, you just plug into his frequency signature and listen to a 'prerecorded message.'

It's like tuning in a radio. Each station, or energy plug-in, brings a specific frequency of information that we sometimes associate with colors, chakras and tones.

Plug in and listen.

Ask questions and you get answers filtered by the channeler.

It's not a bad way to open up and become receptive to that which is in higher frequency of thought, but it is just another tool, and should be viewed as such.

ALL channeled information comes from the same source. The information is the same , passed down through the ages as biblical, prophecy, always recycled and today referred to as Metaphysics, New Age, or a Traditional Religion.

Art, music, design, acting, etc., are all right brained activities that can, and most likely are channeled.

Channeling has always been part of human connection to higher frequency of thought, as we are experiencing multi-dimensionally.

Many channelers began to channel as frequency and awareness was destined to increased through the last half of the 20th century, though there were always seerers, psychics and mediums, who could connect with higher frequency and bring back messages.

Today there are still those who channel to this end calling the sessions 'personal activations', and helping those who need this crutch to move forward, their conscious awareness increasing.

Often, I fond, both the channeler and the client, need to feel a sense of important mission, to make the session work.

While questing, the need to feel important is what propels many souls forward.

Whatever works!

Again ... this goes to healing and healers, energy workers and those who shift realities.

WE are all channelers as we hear thoughts in our minds and receive messages one way or another, from the other side.

What happened to the channelers of the past?

Eventually there was nothing new to channel, it had all been said. The information became recycled, as our reality moves in cycles of time and all things repeat in patterns. Channeling became about healing your issues. By that time, channeling had become a business, for many a lucrative one. People sold books, tapes, moved into the lecture circuits, workshops, then came their ego issues, competition among channelers, and so forth. Still and all, the world of the channeler moved consciousness forward in spite of their issues. Often the information brought by the channelers was a reflection of their ego issues.

Were the channelers accurate?

No more so than the psychics as they were all plugging into the same sources. Some foresaw events in the grid program, but not the major shifts, such as the events of 9/11. There were many who channeled about dooms day and the world ending by the year 2000 and so forth. They were wrong.

The Explosion at the End, is the Hermetic release of soul from the physical 'form' as it moves into the grids of experience and finally understands what the heck we are all about. It is out of the box , physical reality, the program, or whatever you call this experience.

Listen to your soul, for only it can guide the information about the end of time.

Channeled information was one step on the journey into enlightenment.

We've move passed that now and need to experience for ourselves, not by being told



How to Channel

The spirits who hover just on the other side of the veil from our world sometimes have valuable messages for us who are still living, but they need someone sensitive enough to pick up on these messages in order to deliver them. Though most people feel that you have to have a special gift to channel spirits, the truth is that just about anyone can do it. It's actually quite simple as long as you follow some basic guidelines to help prepare your mind and reach out to the other side.
Step 1
Find a quiet place in your home where there are no distractions. Remove any phones, radios or clocks and be sure to remove your watch. Not only will these things make distracting noises if left in the room, many of them may experience poor battery performance as you channel spirits and utilize the energy in the room.

Step
2
Sit in the lotus position or as close to it as you can. Many people find the half-lotus much more comfortable. If this isn't even comfortable, sit however you feel balanced and grounded.

Step
3
Breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. This encourages the proper flow of energy in the body and helps to remove any negative emotions so you may channel spirits with only good intentions.

Step
4
Empty your mind of all your daily stresses. Any stray thoughts can lead you away from being open and receptive in your attempt to channel spirits. This is generally the most difficult part of the exercise, but practice in meditation will help you achieve this inner peace and opening to the spirits around you.

Step
5
Use a communication medium to record your messages. Automatic writing or even automatic typing, where you allow spirits to channel through your hands, is extremely popular. However, some who channel spirits prefer to video tape or record their sessions so they can watch and hear the spirits' messages for themselves.

Step
6
Practice channeling spirits regularly. The more you practice, the easier it will be to enter into your trance and allow the spirits to come through with the messages you seek.
