Channeling questions

[NickJW]

I would just like to know how to start channeling, what exactly it is, and if it can be done from sleep paralysis or what other prequisits are needed.
I can do Etheric Projections and I'm trying to phase right now if that helps any.

Hi Nick  

I just started talking to angels and other beings. Im not sure if this is considered channeling or not. There is a certain type of energy I use for each specific being. I have sent this to a friend yesterday, and I am awaiting his results with it. If he is successful I would not mind giving it to you, you may also take it from me if you are skilled enough  I have Michael and Gabriels atm and I think god but I am unsure of the god one so I'd rather not give that to ya and it makes sense that every human would already have this one anyways, becuase no one gave it to me as far as I know. And I am almost sure that my way is not the only way to do this.

my advice would to be cautious on anything you do from a channeling standpoint. communication is something that should be viewed as a way to enhance ones knowledge of the universe. it can however be used as a detriment by the other side of the universal wheel of life... another words, those of the dark side or whatever other semantically phrase or word you want to call evil and or negative energies.

once a connection has been made from a channeling standpoint, the connection is permanent with the energy and will help or hinder your progression.

Not actually true Jonsey.
You can channel a spirit one minute then tell them to sod off the next.
No leftover energy ties, nothing!
It's actually quite easy. Just remember that we're much stronger in this world than they. Some spirits can get quite pushy, especially if they're busting to get some message through to someone, but as soon as you tell them to back off, they do. Sometimes you do have to be a little forceful about it, kind of like telling your dog to get off your chair.

Blessings,
James.

actually you will need to define channeling. communication is one thing, and yes you can tell them to bugger off. but when you channel, you connect on a soul level. that connection stays. try mixing two kinds of food colourings together in water. you will never get them 100% apart again.

as a communicator, it is as though one turns on and off a radio with no residual effects. with this there is no permanent connection. that i agree with you.

thank you for the clarification.

Hi Jonsey,

I see what you mean.

I'll see if I can define things a bit better...

I guess to distinguish channeling from communication, the more regular form of mediumship, with channeling, at least what I've experienced of it, your conscious mind steps aside to allow another spirit to speak through you. That's when people start looking at you really weird and say things like "your face and your voice completely changed!".

Mind you, I've never had any problems here and never had any attachments because I've always had suitable protections set up first, and I've always "interviewed" the spirit prior to allowing them to come through, so I know what I'm dealing with.

I can see your point is very much valid where someone starts trying to channel and they don't fully know what they're doing. This can typically happen at seances or parties where some clever willy decides it would be fun to pull the ouija board out.

evening james,

now you are making more sense mate. thank you for clarifying that for me and the readers here.

it sounds to me as though you allow your higher self to handle the other energies wanting to come through. that is a good thing. i see that you have a bloody clue on how to handle those energies that may want to manipulate any given situation.

it is too often that people will say things one way and mean something different. they know what is said and what is meant, but they are the only one.... unless one is psychic haha... anyway there are a lot of people here that i have noticed that are truly wanting to know and learn what is out there. as the freaky barrier drops (i will explain what i mean by Freaky barrier on another post) more people are going to have a closer tie to the universe. there are energies that will try to use that "new connection" to further their own agendas. it is the responsibility of those with the knowledge to  help guide others, not force ones own perspectives on the vulnerable.

thanks again mate

[NickJW]

ok interesting convo, but how do you actually DO this? How dose one start practicng channeling?

[James S]

No worries Jonsey.

"Freaky barrier"! LOL! Yep, that's it allright. Perfect description!

NickJW,
The simple answer - meditate! Every day, even if only for 10-15 minutes.
That's exactly how I started into it.

When you meditate, you detach yourself from the world around you, and in time detach from all the surface thoughts constantly running through your mind. From here you learn to turn inwards and connect more with your "higher" or spirit self. This is the source of your inner knowledge and intuition.

This first step  - getting to know yourself, who you really are, as well as your higher self, is the most important bit. When you come to grips with who you really are, and slowly clear away all the blockages and baggage, your energy starts flowing better and your awareness starts to open up. It also gives you access to the best lie detector money can't buy - intuition. This helps you tell what's true and what's not when you start learning to deal with the spirit world.

If your not sure on exactly how to meditate, or if you want a better routine to use, Google is your friend. There's a ton of good meditation info on the web (as well as some utter crap). Search around and go with what feels right with you. Learning about what feels right and wrong to you is a big part of that important higher self / intuition thing.

Beyond just the basic "meditate", there are many different paths to spirit awareness, depending on your likes and dislikes: Yoga (kundalini), Tai Chi, Reiki all help open you up to Universal energy and help you to become much more aware of the life energies all around us. Pick up some books by authors like Ted Andrews. He's got a lot of easy to understand practical, no airy fairy nonsense books on psychic development and exercises you can do. You may also find a meditation / development course in your local area. Look in any new-age shops around the place for info here. Again, learning to use and trust your intution will help guide you to the right thing.

Hope that gives you a starting point. All the best!

Blessings,
James.

I could not have said it better myself James. good advice and really the only way you can get in touch with your inner self.

at this time i would not worry about channeling as much as i would about self awareness. this question alone tells me that you are not yet ready but with the advice that James just gave you, you will be able to progress much quicker to you eventual goals. your enthusiasm is a credit to who you are, do not let the impatience of the universal question on any trip of "are we there yet" rush you into premature communications. when you get to Disney land at the end of your trip you will not have to ask when you are ready or how do you do something.....  you will know. :O)

i wish you all the best and will offer advise if wanted.

there are several people on this site that i have noticed that are quite knowledgeable. believe me when i say it is a pleasant surprise. there are also those who are so full of #$%@ that i have to read the rest of their  posts to see if they are self delusional or just comic relief. it is an interesting site.

bottom line... meditate and try not to rush into something before you know you are ready. arm yourself with knowledge and references so that you may become the best channel that is open to information that can help humanity, not contribute to the self aggrandizement of oneself.

[NickJW]

wow....

Well, I'm not quite that inexperienced. I can astral project with ease, and I have been meditatiing for a bout 5 months and can reach interesting states. I have a little bit of energy work experience, third eye meditation and NEW on my feet. I have had detailed "visions" around 5 times.

I just had never really looked into channeling and I wasn't exactly sure what to do. Thank you for the help though, I will take it into consideration.
(Also is Ted Andrews really mystic, or is it basic, no non-sense instructions and info?)

[James S]

Ted Andrews is I guess classed as a mystic (by mainstream standards), but his info is down to earth, and his methods are straight forward without the mumbo jumbo, so that anyone can follow them.
That's why I like him as an author - he makes sense.
