Channeling is the art of translating messages from Spirit, whether it comes from a Spirit Guide, an Angel, or a council of spirit beings. Some people channel the spirits of those who have crossed over, although this can be confusing and provide less than helpful information, as those who have crossed are often still confused and not plugged in directly to Source energy.

Straight channeling is when a practitioner empties themself completely, and allows a spirit to enter and take over their body. This was an old style popular in turn-of-the-century table tippings and parlor psychic gatherings. It is also the way that some practitioners devote themselves to one spirit teacher or that wants to come through them to help people. This is the case with the channels of The Law of Attraction teachings, for example.

If you are interested in receiving channeled information, let your own intuition guide you to the right practitioner for you. A good channel should help you feel empowered, and the messages should bring you validation of what your intuition already feels is true. A good channel should be walking the talk, in health and clarity in their own life. This is the sign of a clear and open channel. If you feel threatened or fearful during a channeling, or if you have a queasy feeling in your belly about it, stop. Tune back into your belly and your own direct connection to discernment and faith. Your freedom of choice is your greatest power. Choose a channel who serves your intentions, and do not give your power away. All humans are channels of energy, of wisdom, and of healing, once we have healed our selves and step into our power. That said, it can be very useful to have the help of another in discerning messages and healing from Spirit via guides, angels, and other personalities of the One Great Divinity. Channeling is an ancient and sacred gift, which can aid greatly in enhancing clarity, connection, and joy in life.
