What is channeling and how does one develop their ability to channel? Can anybody channel? These are some of the most commonly asked questions about channeling. I teach Channeling and intuitive development classes to help people access their inner wisdom and messages from guides. In these classes people learn to trust their intuitive knowing and receive messages from their guides. Let’s start with understanding what channeling is. Channeling is the process of shifting one’s focus from the finite to the infinite. One becomes less and less identified with the body, mind and emotions and more and more aware of their connection with Universal Consciousness. Through putting aside the personal ego and welcoming in and opening up to infinite wisdom and love a person becomes a channel or a conduit for the Divine. You might think of the process as similar to that of a pile of salt in a glass to which water is added. The salt represents the personal consciousness and the water represents universal consciousness. The water dissolves the salt and becomes changed. When the two elements are joined there is created a new substance, salt water. The quality of the personal is still there but it has changed or been transformed by the universal. There is no longer any individual separation and identification. The Divine has taken over. As a person opens up more and more to their deep inner guidance and the messages from their guides they too become an expression of universal consciousness. This expression of the Divine through channeling can take many varied forms. Some people channel healing energy. Others channel songs or poetry or art. Still others channel messages of inspiration or spiritual teachings. The one common thread between all these forms of expression is the feeling that the channel has of a sense of connection to Spirit. There is a knowingness that something “bigger” than the small ego self provided the words, song , art or healing. Often times a channel will say that they felt that the words or energy came through them. It is a very unique and individual way that each person feels guided by Spirit. This is an ability that can be developed. Can anybody channel? Can anybody open to divine guidance? Yes, most definitely. One aspect of channeling involves connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain. There are a variety of techniques for encouraging this flow between the left, linear brain and the right, creative brain. It is our natural state to be connected to our inner guidance. A person can learn to come back into the state of innocence and trust and open to their true Higher Self. Another key feature of channeling is learning to let go of control and open to the flow of the universe expressing through you. This may mean looking at old fears or blocks and being willing to let them go. To be a really pure channel a person must be willing to let go of everything they thought they ever knew and humbly open up to the unknown. You have to be willing to look and sound ridiculous and not care what others think. To be a channel is like embodying the positive aspects of Fool card in the Tarot deck. How does one develop their ability to channel? As with any new skill or art it takes practice and time set aside to channel. Although a person can open up instantly to channel, usually there is some preparation beforehand. It is beneficial to have a regular routine of meditation and quieting the mind. The stiller the mind is, the easier it is to hear the guidance from within and from our guides. Meditation is one way to increase your vibrational frequency. The practice of meditation makes it is easier for you to lift up your energetic vibration and connect with the vibrational frequency of your guides. Since we are in the third dimensional reality, it requires an extra effort on our part to raise our consciousness above the denseness of this plane and connect with our guides and higher self. Other methods of raising our frequency so that we can connect with our guides and higher self include staying away from alcohol and drugs and to eat foods that carry a high vibration. In addition, I always recommend that my channeling students walk outside in nature every day. This helps to oxygenate the body, clear the mind, relax the emotions, and lift the entire vibrational field up. Our guides and higher self want to connect with us and help us with our lives. Channeling is a way that a person can directly experience the presence of their guides and Divine Guidance coming through them. Channeling can be learned and developed so that your personal self steps aside more and more and the Divine express through your life. You have to be willing to enter into a new realm of possibilities. You learn to let go of the finite and experience the infinite.
