Can Anyone Channel?

Being a channel is simply being the receptacle to listen to messages. You listen to messages all day long regarding advertising. So yes in my view anyone can learn to receive messages.

However, not everyone can see, hear or feel messages in the same way. The word clairvoyant means clear sight people who are visual in their day-to-day lives often find this the way to receive. I am not a visual person and I have only ever seen something a few times. Mostly I find the visuals for me are swirly colours and they are a distraction they are my ego getting in the way.

Connecting with your higher self.

You are not disconnected from your higher self is your higher self is part of you. If you like the higher self is the you, without emotions and thoughts. It taught more about this in the article about letting go

What is Channeling?

Simply put, channeling is a form of communication between nonphysical entities. These entities could be animals, pets, your higher self, angelic beings et cetera. The person you are channeling doesn’t have to have passed they can be very much alive. You can receive messages from your higher self.

Some people use the word channeling in the same context as being a medium. I in my experience tend to differentiate. Again in my experience mediums are people who can speak to the spirits of the recently passed.

Everyone Channels individually

Clairaudience it is when you hear clearly. I had this ability when I was younger and for various reasons some of which I’m aware of and some of which I am not I shut down this ability. At the present time I am working towards becoming more clairaudient. People who have very clear hearing tend to find this easier.

Clairsentience is when you feel something. This is the type of understanding I have. It is a very clear feeling, sometimes expressed as messages. Very often I don’t know where those messages come from. I think can kinaesthetic find it easier to be clairsentient.

We live in a multi dimensional universe. I believe we have more than one existence going on concurrently in that universe at any one time.

This is a relatively new thought to me. I used to be obsessed with time. Rather strangely for someone who has never in 60 odd years one watch. I was obsessed with not having enough time to do what I wanted to do.

I now look at “time”, in a completely different way. The subject of past lives is quite controversial to some. I now think that the concept of past lives is irrelevant as all lifetimes are occurring simultaneously in dimensions and what we call time. In a sense that means we are living parallel lives rather than past lives.

I happened to mention this recently to Pamela Aaralyn. We were talking about my husband being my dominant spirit guide which apparently is quite unusual as they are usually part of ourselves. I wasn’t that surprised to learn that he was as I manifested a life where he would be. So it does appear that I actually may well be living a life somewhere with him at this present time. Which is strangely comforting and not surprisingly I can still communicate with him.

For a lot of people a lot easier to learn to channel and listen to your inner self rather than external forces. Maybe this is for the simple reason that a lot of people are more likely to believe in a higher self than messages from spirits.

Are there any rules about channelling. I actually think the most important thing is to learn how to meditate from the heart. Opening your heart and looking at the universe with unconditional love is the first step in the process. Everything good comes from love.

Do you have to close your eyes when you channel. Not necessarily however a lot of people including me find the outside world distracting when you’re trying to channel. So I often shut my eyes. I personally am not visual so I find sometimes the visual swirls of colour distracting because I know it’s my ego getting involved.

The question a lot of people ask when starting is can you channel when you are lying down. I can for sure, but if I do it last thing at night it is very possible that I will fall asleep. I personally don’t worry about that too much because I feel that I will absorb what I need to absorb whilst I sleep.

I have meditated every morning and every night for years unless of course there was a life changing reason why I couldn’t. I have meditated on aeroplanes when the journey has been over 12 hours. Not necessarily super successfully but it’s all a question of practice.

You can channel in a position you feel comfortable in. Some people say you have to have your feet on the floor to feel the energies come through the earth. Personally, I’m very much against rituals. They limit your power and may limit your ability.

It’s up to you to decide which position you are comfortable in. I know a lot of very successful healers and channelers who manage to do this sitting on a table with their legs crossed. Find a position which is comfortable for you.

I find what works for me is maintaining a high level of vibration. I try and generally succeed to surround myself only with positive people which keeps my own vibration high. What I don’t want is events and people draining my energy with drama.

I also find that maintaining what I call a clear clean diet helps. I try and eat a lot of raw food. I find it very difficult to maintain a vegan diet simply because I don’t plan it well enough. So I have to resort to a cheese omelette when I have eaten all day and I’m hungry.

Plenty of fruit and vegetables does seem to help most people to be better channelers. However everyone is different and this is something you have to work out for yourself. I can eat both wheat and gluten where other people find it difficult to channel with wheat and gluten in their diet.

One rule that seems to work for everybody is to drink plenty of water. We are born we are over 70% water and when we die we are far less than 50%. Water is a conductive and it conducts all energies. Both channelling the meditating of very dehydrating so top up your water content.

Don’t forget to ask your higher self for guidance. Ask for help. I love the process of wonder. I wonder what it will feel like today to be able to listen to my higher self. I wonder what gems of wisdom I will learn today? You get the picture.

Everything in my world is energy everything is made up of energy. Your higher self has nothing to do with your physical body and you are so much more than your physical body.

Many people define the higher self quite differently some people think of it as your soul. I can’t say that I do, probably because I trained as a psychologist.

Freud thought there was the subconscious mind and the conscious mind. I believe he was right. Not all psychologists accept this but I feel that the body controls and corrects many things without conscious thought.

For instance, we don’t need to think about regulating body temperature. We don’t need to remember consciously think to make our heart pump. Many things happen without our conscious thought.

For instance, we don’t need to think about regulating body temperature. We don’t need to remember consciously think to make our heart pump. Many things happen without our conscious thought.

Our conscious minds are the things we are consciously aware of. Your higher self to me is your superconscious. It is the part of you which has known you since the beginning of time! It is the part of you that can guide you to greater things.

Connecting with your higher self, is to some extent an oxymoron. You are not separate or distinct from it at any point. Your higher self is a part of you. It is your energetic consciousness. It does not need the body to survive.

Different people listen to their higher self to different degrees. When you get those flashes of insight that seem to make everything clearer this is your higher self banging on the door of your consciousness, forcing you to listen.

Some people, communicate with their higher self in dreams. I am sure to some extent we all do, unfortunately, I never remember my dreams. That is unless they are full-blown nightmares in which case I wake up with my heart thumping.

Wow Where Did That Come From?

Sometimes you receive a strong imperative command. In the 80s I was in madras in southern India. I was getting on an aeroplane. As I climbed the steps I heard a voice telling me to get off the plane.

I have no idea whether this feeling came from or why but I decided to trust it. I told my husband Leo I wanted to get off the plane and he laughed.

So I went back down steps and walked across the tarmac to the departure lounge (in those days there were no corridors you simply walked across the tarmac!) He followed me into the departure lounge.

I am sure you can imagine some of the ensuing argument. He wanted to know why I had got off when all our belongings were on the plane. At the time we had been travelling round the world for about 2 1/2 years and had no home.

Eventually in exasperation he said, something like

“Give me one good reason why you won’t get on the aeroplane?”.

At the time the plane was taxiing along the runway. He had his back to that so he couldn’t see the plane had already left. The plane took off and landed splat back on the tarmac.

As you can imagine it made quite a racket! He looked around and said to me

“Are you a witch?”

I replied, no I wasn’t. I had no idea why I had the idea to get off the plane or why I thought it was so important. I have no premonition of disaster, I had no premonition of anything, either good or bad.

I then suggested that we casually walk over to the aeroplane. He asked why and being the ever practical one I replied

Because if we stand here arguing then we have to pay for our own flight the next time. If we get back out there and look as though we were actually sitting on the plane then they will have to pay for the flight for us”.

I have listened to my intuition many times in my life, but I have never had such a strong feeling as on that day.

Recently I have decided to consciously improve my communication with my higher self. To get back to the mechanics of this some people do it by meditation. Some people do it by channelling. Channelling is merely receiving communication from something not physical. This could be a pet, an animal, your shamanic animal, someone who has passed over or someone who is very much alive.

I tend to do it by meditation from the heart centre. I don’t meditate through the chakras as most people do but from the heart. This is because I believe that everything good in life comes from unconditional love.

Some people imagine themselves in a place that is comfortable. They talk to their higher self as though it were a real entity, which it is.

You may question the answers that you get. Usually because I am a clairsentient I usually just feel the answer, it is a sensation.

The question is you need to be sure you are actually talking to your higher self. Generally, when I first started I confirmed I was speaking to my higher self by muscle testing. Nowadays, I have no need to do this because I can feel the energy and differentiate from other energetic beings.

If you get an answer which you feel comes from fear, shame, grief or any other negative energy, then you are not speaking to your higher self. Your higher self will always give you a feeling of expansion and lightness.

If you’re feeling the negative energies then you are speaking to your ego. Your ego is part of your subconscious, it loves comfort it hates change. On the surface of your ego is there to protect you, but it will prevent you from growing simply because it does hate change.

You don’t have to make such a big thing about asking to speak to your higher consciousness. Just ask! There’s no drama in the connection, or ritual. The more drama you make out of the request the more likely it is you will speak to your ego. It’s not in your ego’s interest to let you speak to your higher self. It can’t stop you but it can distract you with a million thoughts which stops you connecting.

As I say I feel things. Some people see things I tend to find visuals distracting and I generally think they come from the ego. I am so busy looking at beautiful colour swirling I forget the purpose of meditating. However, other people see things much more clearly. They are called clairvoyant which means they see clearly. You are more likely to be clairvoyant if you are visual in life.

I am a true kinaesthetic and I have to feel things to understand things which is probably why am clairsentient or I feel things clearly. Fortunately, when something is really right my left foot vibrates. It has a weird ripple underneath it which is kind of fun because it verifies that I know I’m feeling the authentic me.
