CHANNELING

"It is my sincere belief that the channeling phenomenon is far more widespread than we realize. Far more men, women and children throughout history have accessed this higher source than we can imagine. There are infinite possibilities of acquiring wisdom without having consciously learned the information. The human potential is more vast and timeless than our limited perception can acknowledge. I believe that many human experiences are in truth channeling, but are commonly called by other names.

Channeling can occur when actions or communications come that are not actually originating from the individual. An artist who paints and finds that the picture seems to have painted itself, a dancer who dances on 'automatic', a teacher who presents material that is unplanned or unexpected, a healer who takes actions not previously learned - these examples and others suggest a form of channeling."

- Kahlil Gibran, Poet, Artist and Inspirational Author of "The Prophet"

WHAT IS CHANNELING?

Channeling is the natural act of making a direct connection with the spiritual realms with your consciousness or awareness (whether you are aware of it or not). A person who does this is called a channel.

There is a sense of love, peace, comfort, empowerment, expansiveness, knowingness, and happiness when you are channeling God/Source/the Universe/Your Higher Self/Soul energy.

You often connect with the spiritual realms when you sleep, pray, daydream, feel inspired, invent or create something, use your imagination or intuition, do artwork, commune with nature, play an instrument, solve a problem, walk, drive, relax, meditate, write, ponder, speak, think or practice mindfulness among other things.

HOW WE ALL CHANNEL:

God/Source/the Universe, Your Higher Self/Soul, and Your Spirit Guides will speak to you in the language you are most familiar with. They will use your vocabulary, your ways of speaking, your frame of reference, your experiences, your gifts, and even your humor. How else will you recognize the messages they are sending?

You "channel" or receive spiritual communication, guidance, and information from God/Source/the Universe, your Higher Self/Soul, and your Spirit Guides through one or more of your six psychic senses.

When I am working as a channel for Spirit, I receive guidance and information for people using all six of my psychic senses.

Check and see which of these six psychic senses, you are already using to receive guidance and information.

YOUR SIX SPIRITUAL / PSYCHIC SENSES:

You may be claircognizant or intuitive and have an inner knowing about things. The information, idea, concept or thought "just comes to you" and has the feeling of "this is important". The knowledge you receive often flashes suddenly into your mind seemingly "out of no where". You may know who is on the phone before you answer it or know personal things about people you just met. You just know something, although you may not know why or how you know it.

You may be clairaudient and psychically hear sounds, words, sentences, thoughts, tones, music, bells, chimes, ringing, whooshing, buzzing, white noise sounds, songs, and other types of sounds or noises that "pop into your head". You may hear conversations as you fall asleep or wake up between people you may not see. These sounds and words are inaudible to the normal hearing range and most often seem to come from within your head or "out of nowhere". If you hear words, sentences or names, they may come to you as a thought, rather than as an actual sound. The sounds may seem as if they are faint or coming from a tin can or have an echo-like quality to them.

You may also be clairvoyant and see pictures flash in your mind's inner third eye as in-sights. These pictures come as a clear vision or they may be nebulous forms hidden in a cloudy substance. What you see may appear to be superimposed upon a solid object that's in front of you when your eyes are open or you may see the vision within your forehead when your eyes are closed. When the image is of a psychic origin and you aren't thinking it up yourself, the image is seen first and then thought about. It is usually not thought up and then seen.

You may psychically see a person, scene, object, lights, words, colors, auras, symbols, past lives, loved ones in spirit, visions of the past, present or future, and people or places in other spiritual dimensions. These pictures may appear as if you are viewing still photographs or they may be moving like a home movie. You may even feel you are actually in the scene you are seeing.

You may also be clairsentient and perceive information through a sensation within your physical body. You may get a "gut feeling" in your stomach of what to do or say. You may also get a "gut feeling" of what not to say or do. You may even sense the body aches and ill health of someone else not in the room in specific parts of your own physical body. You may also feel the emotions or personality of another person whom you do not know personally or who is not in the room. You may sense the presence of deceased relatives, guides, and angels.

You may be clairgustant and psychically taste a substance, liquid or food without actually putting anything in your mouth.

You may also be clariscentrist and psychically smell fragrances, flowers, perfume or other odors such as tobacco or alcohol even when a substance or food is not in your immediate surroundings.

CHAKRA BALANCING & CHANNELED SPIRITUAL HEALING:

A description for Channeling also includes transmitting God's healing life-force energy to yourself and to others. I channel God's healing energy to others in this way when I do Spiritual Healing with Chakra Balancing sessions using hands-on Spiritual Healing to help people relax, feel inner peace, happiness, balance, and renewed energy for the body, mind, emotions, and spirit and a greater connection with their Higher Self/Soul and with Spirit/Source.

A Spiritual Healing with Chakra Balancing Session can assist you in accessing your inner wisdom so that you may have the clarity, trust, faith, hope, and courage to consciously co-create the life you choose to live with the help of God/Source and the Universe.

Even if you already feel good and your life is going well, this type of session can help lift you up to even higher levels of awareness, joy, and well being. It helps you to feel the love, peace, power, and beauty of your own magnificent Spirit and the love of Spirit that is always there guiding and supporting you.

CHANNELING DIVINE SPIRIT:

Channeling high level spiritual guidance and inspiration from Spirit can also be brought through in the form of inspirational or automatic writing and speaking consciously, in light trance or in full trance.

I ask in sincere prayer to be used as a clear channel of God/Source's love, light, wisdom, and healing for you. I ask for only the truth, the highest, and best for all. I ask for guidance from Spirit: God/Source, your Higher Self & Soul, Your Loved Ones in Spirit, Your Spirit Guides, the Angels & Archangels, Ascended Masters & Teachers, Nature Spirits, Animal Spirits, Plant & Mineral Spirits, and all those beings of a high plane that have purpose to be of loving service for you.

When I trance channel, you have the opportunity to speak directly with a loving and wise group of Spirit Guides known as Divine Spirit about your personal questions. Divine Spirit is a group of Spirit Guides who are working in partnership with me to offer spiritual guidance. Spirit Guides are messengers, teachers, and helpers for God/Source. They are not meant to replace God/Source. They come to offer us guidance, love, comfort, inspiration, and healing.

The group of Spirit Guides usually speak in one collective voice. The Guides may have a slight accent. Since I am in a light trance, I hear what the Spirit Guides are saying through me, but I am also detached. It's similar to how you might feel when you are almost asleep. I set the intention to allow what is said during the reading to be as purely from Spirit as possible.

The guidance Divine Spirit offers is wise, loving, compassionate, straightforward, and sometimes humorous. The Guides share what they see, feel, hear, and know from their broader perspective as you talk with them openly and honestly about your personal concerns.

The information Divine Spirit shares is often meaningful, freeing, and healing. The Guides offer practical, loving guidance to encourage you, empower you, and to help you make positive choices in your life.

Speak openly and honestly with the Spirit Guides about the personal concerns you have written down ahead of time.

The Guides don't read your mind so give them a brief history of what is going on, your feelings about the situation, and tell them what you want help with. The more specific you can be with the Spirit Guides about your concerns, the easier they can tune into your situation and offer you the guidance that you are seeking. The Spirit Guides will ask you questions to help you to clarify your concerns, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. They will add to and expand upon the information that you share with them. Together, you will explore your concerns more deeply so that you may arrive at a clearer understanding of yourself and of your life.

Spirit won't tell you what to do because that would interfere with your free will and with the learning and growing that your Soul came here for. When asked about the future, the Spirit Guides present the most energized path that you are currently heading towards.

Spirit Guides can't tell you what is definitely going to happen because your future isn't completely pre-determined. Your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions create your future. You have the power, responsibility, and opportunity to create your own life. Because your life is not completely predetermined and because you have free will, you can always choose to travel a different path at any time which will change your life and your future. Always do what is right for you no matter what the Spirit Guides say or I say.

Spirit Guides are not all-knowing. They are still learning and growing just like we are. We are all continually evolving - those of us here on Earth and those in Spirit.

Spirit Guides have individual personalities, varied interests, and different areas of experience and expertise, just like we do. Spirit Guides are often able to see things from a clearer, broader perspective. The guidance they provide often gives you a greater understanding of things and is often wise, inspiring, and empowering.

THE BENEFITS OF CHANNELING:

Channeling re-connects you with God/Source and with your Higher Self/Soul. Channeling helps you to remember who and what you really are.

I enjoy being of service in offering spiritual comfort and support from the higher realms during difficult times. As a channel for Spirit, I am happy to be able to provide a bridge - a visible, audible physical connection - for you and Spirit to be able to speak directly to one another.

Divine Spirit helps empower you to be all that you choose to be. The Spirit Guides assist you in your spiritual growth and help you remember your connection to God/Source, your Higher Self/Soul, and to the higher Spiritual Realms.

WHY I CHOOSE TO BE A CHANNEL:

I have always been sensitive to subtle spiritual energies ever since I was a little girl. When I got older, I decided to study and develop my psychic, mediumistic, channeling, and healing abilities further so I could help myself and others connect more closely with the love, guidance, and wisdom of Spirit.

My desire in trance channeling Divine Spirit is to help bring the love, guidance, support, and wisdom of the higher spiritual realms closer so you can be helped with your personal concerns, self-growth, and spiritual development.

When we come to Earth, the veil of forgetfulness comes down so that we can be here in the present moment. Our soul chooses this incarnation as the best environment that would most facilitate our learning. Sometimes, this veil of forgetfulness may cause us to feel separated from God and our Higher Self / Soul. High level spiritual guidance provides unconditional love, comfort, compassion, support, and understanding.

We are spiritual beings who have consciously chosen from a soul level to temporarily experience life in a physical body. While we are here, we can turn to and trust in the love of God, the support of the higher spiritual realms that serve God, and in our own Higher Self / Soul for guidance when we sincerely ask and allow.
