Channelling

1) What is Channelled Material

Material which is composed in a style which is completely

foreign to you, which you couldn’t imitate, with references you couldn’t have known, or which you may not even fully agree with, is clearly coming from a source outside of yourself.

2) Psychic experiences

If you have a psychic experience while the material is being

given, this is an indication of channelling. If you hear a sound, a voice with an accent, then you could be hearing the words of someone on another realm. An idea which pops into your head intuitively doesn’t have a voice with an accent – it’s coming from within you.

You may have a clairvoyant experience where you actually

see the person communicating with you. This could be a defi nite impression in your mind, or you could actually “see” the person standing there in front of you. It may not necessarily be a person that you see, the great seer Nostradamus, for example, used to see a fl ame before he made the predictions he wrote in his world-renowned quatrains.

Clairsentience (psychic feeling) is when you pick up the

vibe of the communicator – you sense their mood, emotions and what kind of person they are – just as you might sense people’s vibes in everyday life. This is very common among mediums. Positive, dynamic, altruistic people, for example, have a strong presence and an inspiring feel about them.

Other, though much less common, psychic experiences

which could happen are: psychic smell – some communicators have a certain smell about them; psychic taste – the vibe of the communicator induces the psychic sensation of taste; and a form of psychic touch, where you can actually feel something psychically almost as though it were physically there.

3) Suspension of conscious thought

When channelling you have to make a conscious effort to

suspend your own thought. You don’t exactly block out your own thoughts, but you detach your concentration from them

5) Focusing on the words

When most psychics receive a message they get the

meaning of what is said, rather than the exact words, which most of the time is fi ne, but can lead to mistakes. For example, the communicator may say ‘drive to’, and you get ‘go to’, which are similar but distinctly different. If you are really concentrating hard, and thereby getting each word individually, you will not know what the message is about until after it’s over: all your mental energy will have been focused on getting the words right, you won’t have had the surplus energy to

and focus entirely on the material being received. If you start thinking about the content of the message or the phraseology used, you will lose your concentration. This does take effort, but is absolutely essential in word-for-word channelling.

4) Intense concentration

Intense concentration while the material is being

received brings a clear awareness of whether you are indeed channelling, or whether it’s your intuition, or imagination. If you concentrate on a thought, voice or image which is the product of your imagination, it will not be sustainable, whereas a genuine message or other kind of psychic experience will tend to grow in intensity the more you concentrate upon it.

Concentration when receiving a channelled message is

a very intense, active state, whereas when listening to the intuition, although concentration is necessary, you are in a much more peaceful state, gently aware of a concept evolving in your mind. Concentration is like a fl ashlight dispelling the shadows of indiscrimination within your mind.

Channelling is, in a way, more hard work than listening to

your intuition, because you have to concentrate so hard to stay in line with what you are receiving. Accessing the intuition is more of a gradual, coaxing process. It is a skill which takes a great deal of work to obtain, but once you have it, putting it into practice is, in my experience, less demanding than channelling. Of the two, there is no question that intuition is more valuable: being able to enter a deep contemplative state is a wonderful thing, which, in time, will lead to great inspiration. Intuition is an innate ability in all of us. It is a part of you. It is the voice of the essence of you. Whereas channelling is receiving something from outside of yourself, which most people don’t need to do.
