Types Of Spiritual Channeling That Open You To Your Own Guides

For the channeler, it requires an incredible level of surrender, humility and trust to set aside the ego and allow their voice and form to become an instrument for these greater forces. It's an act of becoming a hollow reed or clear vessel for truths and insights that can help illuminate our human journey.

Trance channeling, is rooted in antiquity. Mystics, ascended masters, shamans and prophets served as conduits to bring their peoples teachings from the gods and spirits. 

Be mindful, the spirit being who answers the channel’s call is pure energy and, as such, it vibrates at a much higher rate than human’s energy. In order to use the channel’s physical body, the entity must adjust her vibrations to those of the trance channeler. It’s pretty amazing that once the entity gets back into a human body, his voice, inflection and mannerisms are the same as when he lived on earth. Conversely, no matter what language she spoke in her former life, some-kind-of-way, her words translate into English.

Dialogue between spirit beings and humans is interactive. You may ask questions and he will answer. Nothing is off-limits, although the entity may choose not to entertain certain subjects.

The messages received through channeling can provide solace, inspiration and perspective that help us remember our fundamental oneness with the universe. They remind us of our soul's greater purpose and destiny. The teachings imparted can be powerful catalysts for personal growth, healing and awakening to our highest potential.

People with strong religious upbringing, may find some types of spiritual channeling stressful, especially those who have been conditioned to believe ‘evil’ spirits can possess a human body.  That entities can ‘possess’ the trance channeler is a false belief. These types of spiritual channeling psychics are never controlled by non-human entities. Instead, they permit highly evolved beings to use their physical body and vocal cords to deliver messages in a manner humans easily understand.  

The sheer flamboyance and good humor of some spirit beings can bring comfort to people seeking guidance and enlightenment. Once spiritual teachers begin to dialogue, the universal question – is there life after death – is answered. And while they will take your questions about survival after death, their main purpose is to help resolve issues concerning your journey in this life.

Other Types Of Spiritual Channeling

Other than Trance Channeling there is:

• Conscious Channeling where the channeler remains fully conscious and aware while receiving the channeled information through intuitive senses like clairvoyance (spiritual sight) or clairaudience (inner voice/hearing).
  
  
• Automatic Writing where the channeler's hand is guided by a spirit force to write messages, often in an unconscious flow without consciously guiding the words.
  
  
• Psychophonic Voice Channeling where the voice of the channeled entity comes through the channeler's voice box, sometimes sounding different than their normal voice.
  
  
• Trumpetry where voices of spirits come through a trumpet or cone-shaped device.
  
  
• Mediumship involves the channeling of spirits of deceased people rather than other spirit entities like angels or guides.
  
  
• Shamanic Channeling is found in indigenous shamanic practices where the spirits of ancestors, power animals, or nature forces are channeled.
  
  
• Tools For Channeling like Ouija Boards, pendulums or spirit boards are used to communicate with spirits by spelling out words.

Want To Learn Channeling For Yourself?

If you prefer to learn channeling so you can communicate with your own higher self and spirit guides a good way to start is to take a session or two with some different psychic mediums, either online or in person. They can open the way by connecting you to the spirit world, your angels and higher guides. 

If you attend a local spiritualist church look out for a local psychic circle. Surround yourself with the kindred spirits at spiritualist gatherings and you will comfortably expand your knowledge, learn channeling, and develop your mediumship potential. 

The main difference between a psychic reading and these types of spiritual channeling is that the psychic taps into your energy and the energy of anyone else you are asking about and the medium connects to the realms of spirit, angels, and guides. Most often the medium is sought out to connect with lost loved ones who have passed over. The psychic connects with those still here. Many mediums and psychics cross both frontiers but some do not. 

Opening To Channel with Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer

I recommend one book above all others to learn channeling. Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, with the help of their guides, Orin and DaBen, have created a definitive, inspirational, and easy-to-use guide to the art of channeling.

Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide includes practical hands-on instruction in how to know if you are ready, how to attract a high-level guide, how to go into trance, how to channel for friends, how to use one of the main types of spiritual channeling to open to the higher dimension, and much more. It was this book that I followed, back in the 1980’s. It was in this book's lessons that I made the connection to my own guide Quasar.

Quasar has remained my trusted guide over many years, so if you really want to learn one of the best types of spiritual channeling for yourself, grab this book and connect with your own guide - it really works!
