Curious about channeling

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.

Light.

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.

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.....

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 ?

So I'm in a bit of denial about that...

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 · #8 08-09-2012, 02:19 AM

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

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 ?
