Channeling Spirits for Yourself and Others
Another form of psychic communication and guidance is channeling. A channel is a conduit for something to pass through. A psychic channel is a person who has another entity or spirit communicate through them. This may be a voluntary or involuntary action on the part of the host body — the channel isn't always aware of what is taking place. Channeling can happen when you are in trance or asleep.
When you act as a channel, your voice and mannerisms may change to reflect the personality of the entity that is coming through. During this time, the spirit may convey information by speech, by automatic writing, or even in different artistic forms. Many channels bring a message of universal peace from a higher source of knowledge.
Experiencing Channeling
If you'd like to try your hand at channeling, it's a good idea to begin with someone experienced with the concept, like a hypnotherapist. She can help facilitate you into a deep channeling trance.
It is also possible to channel when you are fully awake. Ask your Belief to let the right words come through your mouth. Believing that this will happen will actually help you to channel universal truths that are good for both you and the people you are speaking with.
You can also try automatic writing or typing by allowing yourself to enter a relaxed trance state and leave your fingers free to be used by the spirit. Just ask your Belief that the right messages for that moment come through your hands and fingers. Like all other forms of psychic development, practice and patience will help your technique to improve. (Chapter 16 covers psychic artistic development.)
