Channeling is a unique way to get high quality information from the other side. The channel lets a spirit use her vocal cords and body so an entity can communicate out loud. It is a marvelous gift to the people who receive the message. It is also a blessing to beings from other realms that have an opportunity to offer their message audibly to people who usually can’t hear them.

Channeling has been a part of the human experience since ancient times. Channels communicate with angels, deceased loved ones, guides, masters, God, and other types of beings. In other times the channel may have been described as a prophet, seer, shaman, or wise one. Here are a couple of examples of well-known channels from the past. Their messages, while often directed to individuals on a one to one basis, have had a lasting effect on global consciousness.

Edgar Cayce, the best known channel of the twentieth century, brought through high level information about a variety of subjects while in a sleep state. He was known as the Sleeping Prophet and is called the father of holistic healing.

Madam Helen Blavatsky, who was instrumental in founding the Theosophical Society in America, was a phenomenal nineteenth century channel for Ascended Masters such as El Moyra, Kuthumi, and St. Germain. The information from these masters revolutionized the spiritual movement.

Channeling can be either conscious, wherein the channel hears the words, or unconscious. A conscious channel will remember what was said to some extent, but what is spoken fades quickly, much as a dream does. This is because the words come through the channel from another source, rather than originating from the channel’s own thinking process. An unconscious channel, on the other hand, leaves the body and goes out on his astral cord for the duration. He will have no memory of what has been said.

The advantage of conscious channeling is that the channel will remember the message, at least to some degree. Unconscious channeling benefits because the channel is absent from his body and the channel thus less likely to influence the message.

A channel generally starts a session with prayers calling for assistance from her Guides, Angels, or others she works with. She invites a spirit to speak through her and either steps her consciousness back to allow the spirit to communicate, or leaves her body completely until the channeling period is over. The process has been described as being as easy as breathing and is that simple when the channel allows the information to just flow through him. The channel must learn to trust the process and when this happens, the results are amazing.

The Advantage of Channeled Messages

People who are clear channels provide a wonderful service to those who seek them out for advice. Whether you want to have a reading from a Trance Channel or wish to do the channeling yourself, this method of delivering first rate messages from other realms can be illuminating, comforting, and healing. Because the channel moves his consciousness into the background, the information is often clearer and more precise than with a different kind of reading.

An experienced channel is discriminating about whom she allows to speak through her. She calls for and expects a spirit who is in the Light, whose words are true and significant.

As with any type of reading, it is important for the recipient of the information to follow their own instincts, accepting what feels right and valid and putting aside anything that feels "off."

You are the authority in your own life and it is up to you to decide what advice seems right to follow and, for that matter, who is the right type of reader for you.

If you have not already observed or experienced the gift of channeling, you are in for a real treat!
