Curious about channeling

[Adrienne]

Curious to know ~ did you sit down with the intention and just decide to channel ? or did it just happen, kind of on its own ?

If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it....:). I believe there are people out there that just come into the physical knowing they have these abilities, then there are the rest of us...If you weren't born knowing this -

You have to have the thought of an idea before you can create anything in this world, then you have to have the desire for the idea and if you desire it with all your heart, you can get whatever you want.

So, my answer would be no, I did not consider myself psychic in any way, so I didn't know I could learn to channel.

Then I read, Seth Speaks. If you are curious about learning to channel, I would suggest that is a good place to start. It's like a jumping off place into whatever you want to create. But, alas, it is not instantaneous. I think if it was, for me anyway, it would have creeped me out, because I had a lot of fears before I started reading that book.

There is an analogy a guide told me once. We all have the capability of instantaneous manifestation. So, if you wanted to put your physical hand through a wall, and believed you could do it, and put it through the wall, what if half way out of the wall, you suddenly believed you couldn't do it and your hand got stuck in the wall? So there is a time lapse that usually happens with manifestations that I think applies here too.

But that's just me, and I didn't know I was "born this way"....so I may have been late to the party.

I suppose the first time it was completely unintentional. The vast majority of the time nowadays it is very intentional and as easy as breathing. Either I have a "gift" or it really just isn't as hard as folks make it out to be. I lean towards the second explanation: it really isn't that hard. Note that I would call any sort of communication with the otherworlds "channeling" regardless of the subject involved. If you meant specifically talking with dead people, that's not my game and I have no interest in it.

[Nameless]

Me either. I am So not talking to dead people, unless they are my guides :). It took me about two months from beginning to learn about channeling to actually start channeling - and I think it is very different for everyone - that was the point I was trying to make that didn't quite make it. I do believe anyone can channel, if they have the desire to learn how. Once you learn, it is simply a matter of relaxing and breathing.

Like nameless, I had no thought I might be psychic, though was pretty sensitive
at reading peoples character.


Yet there are lots of forms of channeling

Mozart was obviously a channel, as were most good composers, creative writers,
many painters-artists, class clowns, some dancers and others I can't think of.

(According to Kryon, anyway) all creatives are channels ,and most creative ideas as well originate outside the individual

But assuming you mean only metaphysical channels. (as I've done all the above , minus class clown)

I was fortunate to be taken to a spiritualist church by a dancer friend.... and learned there.... slowly , bit by bit .... (not that I wanted to channel)..... but respected the minister as a great soul. and that's what she taught, (and psychic development/healing) which more interested me.

A decade prior, my wife was lying , resting ...and suddenly someone was talking through her. A visiting spirit... this happened frequently... visitors, teachers, would pop in and talk to me briefly.... and thus I found out what trance channeling was.... which I've never done or sought to do, but rather mental channeling.

anyway that's my little story.....

[Adrienne]

Very interesting replies Nameless, Quintessence and Henri.

Nameless ~ I should probably read the book then, " Seth Speaks " so many people speak about Seth this and Seth that, I really should find out what it is all about. I should probably read the book, before asking this question... but what is so important about Seth ? why him and not someone else ?

" I am So not talking to dead people, unless they are my guides :). " ( Nameless )

" If you meant specifically talking with dead people, that's not my game and I have no interest in it." ( Quintessence )

Interesting ~ curious to know, what is the matter with talking to dead people ? I don't mean just anyone, but isn't there a loved one or a friend that you really miss and want to keep in contact with ?

and one more, I should read before asking question, lol... who is Seth ? isn't he a dead person ?

Ah, but that would be giving it away and he explains that in the first chapter, so I will leave that to him. Jane's introduction is quite long, but interesting, but if you prefer you can skip it and go back and read it later. If you go onto Amazon, and pull up the Quick Look feature of the book, you can read the first chaper for free! and decide if it calls to you. I found it fascinating and freaky in about the same quantity, and I don't know if I was compelled to read it, but found I kept picking it back up and continuing on. He has a way with words...but it is very esoteric, once he gets going, and I found what I didn't understand I just read and sort of ignored, because at some point it did become compelling and I couldn't put it down (but for me that took a bit of doing). I think this book, you read at your own pace, because there is so much information that is technical about reality and how it really works and science was not my forte in school, and a lot of it went over my head, but that didn't seem to matter and for some reason, it didn't bother me...I just kept going. Of course, this is the book that jumped off the shelf at me in the bookstore :).

I will say that as I read this book, in certain places, I could feel sensations in my brain shifting. I honestly, really believe that these were the baby stages of opening myself up to channeling. This book is written in layers of communication that we can't understand with the physical, so it is a "trip" all the way around.

I think you will enjoy it. I know it changed my life.

Nameless, thank you for such an interesting intro .. you have my curiosity awakened, not sure about the techy science part, wasn't my favorite subject in school either. I will check out this book. Thanks again

So I'm in a bit of denial about that...:rolleyes: For me, talking to dead people means talking to ghosts...however, if I know they made it to the other side, then that's okay! Cause we never really die, but ghosts don't know they don't still live here and that creeps me a bit.

[Adrienne]

oh ok, that is different then ... there is a name for those ghosts, I can't think of it at the moment.

Hello


Good question. For some like me ye simply come in with the ability to hear and see dead people. Is it by intention I have honestly wondered, as I as such a shy and inward child did I maybe seek some company on some level ?

How does it happen for me most times its just ok here we go, time for a message to flow in that is not going to be oral. At times the pen on the desk will move and I know that its to come in that way. Other times I will seeminly drift off and type something. At times one's get some strange messages in the IM chat window.

When working with someone then its a planned time, as I am asking for that persons' spirit to join me and pass on a message. Not all times is that oral or visual at times written is easier for the energy levels there.

Looking at some things me kids have written for school I know well what is not theirs and what has been channeled to them that they simply put ot paper.
That I would have to say is planned by the one coming to them. Though me Son has admitted to getting test answers lol at times.....I know well I passedd Biology 12 in part by that means.....

Very cool, with the pen on the desk, the drifting off and typing something ( I had that happen once to me... was unreal! ) ohh and the strange messages in IM chat window, spirit certainly is creative !

oh wow, on the school writings ! That is really something, wish I had had the help of a few spirits, or knew that I could ask for help, in a few subjects that weren't my best ones.

just came across this cool and quite accurate one

[Toolite]

Trance happened on its own and then I became aware it could happen. I decided to try automatic writting.

:smile: For myself it just happend i dont have to think about it,just always been able to do it.

Namaste

[Neville]

For me it would appear to involve putting my Brain into automatic Pilot. Alas , an ability I would seem to have developed with alarming ease.

A drifting of the awareness until such a point as the brain becomes a flow through for external thoughts,

It figures because there are those that suggest a Brain is a transmitter and receiver who's electrical qualities seem to have been proven medically.:smile:

I'm pretty new to all of this, but I find it fascinating. A couple of things came to mind. 1) Creative types being channels. I have always been highly creative and began writing poetry as a child. I also pursued a career in writing. Sometimes my thoughts and ideas seemed to come out of nowhere. It never occurred to me that I could have been channeling, but it does make sense.

2) Personality type and psychic ability. I had never considered myself psychic either, but I am highly intuitive, sensitive to others' emotions and sometimes have premonitions. I read that there is a connection between Myers Briggs personality type and psychic ability. iNFJ (introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging) is the type that tends to have psychic experiences. I am an INFJ.

I wonder how many on these forums are creative types and INFJs. I suspect the number is pretty high.

hi Henri,

Would it be possible for you to share just a little bit, about how you learned to channel ? For example, a little bit about learning how to do so ? Are there certain steps , procedures you follow ?

[mystic kate]

hi guys- i think firstly- to respond to someones comments that they arent interested in talking to dead people- only their guides.
i personally cant fathom all of this- arent guides dead people? people die- and some souls decide to become guides?

anyway- thats my take on things-

secondly- there are LOAAAAADS of books about channeling and doing interesting freaky exciting things. i think they make a heck lot of money dont you? because if you are ready for it- it will start to happen.

mind you-i would like to know how to meet my guide- if i have one. i have tried all of the recommended meditations- the walking up the steps- into fields etc and none of them work. this is because i find it difficult in believing it will. so we eventually find our own path to things i think. all you have to do is keep your ears open?

[Nameless]

Mystic Kate - from reading your other thread, I will say it sounds like you are already plugged in, so you could circumvent all the books LOL!

Try this - grab a pen and a piece of paper and relax and just breathe. I always surround myself in a bubble of the white light of the holy spirit, and ask for a higher guide - then just relax and breathe. If you get a word, write it down. See what happens.... :)

[Steven For "They"]

Hello I have been channeling for about a year and a half. For me it started slowly, I was very new to this. I heard of other channelers, and because of certain ideas I had about all this, I wanted none of it. But by listening to the entities that I now channel, I heard the truth that they wanted to share. Many people have come to me just to recieve a message or two. And all of them have been amazed. If you need anymore information, message me back & I will tell you more. Nama:hug3: ste

[TruthJunkie]

For the most part we all channel to some degree. If a thought strikes us and we choose to bring it into physicality we have in fact channeled.

I have been a channel all my life. I have been through a trancemedium program (5+ years) and to be honest I do not want to channel. You are basically giving up your space to another being. Channeling can be quite seductive. The information that flows may be highly inspirational yet you are still giving up your reality (time and space). Even with proper tools and appropriate relationships channeling is a potential invitation for abuse. Beings come in many flavors. Tread carefully and have a plan as to why you want to channel. It is likewise beneficial to get training and to have physical support when you do channel. Beings are famous for playing their hand (read power trips) and while they can and will drive you crazy they still do not have the same kind of anchor in the body as you do. If you find a being who truly channels light and well being then perhaps you should become a channel for the good of humanity. It's your path. Choose carefully.
