In this article composed by our own StarzJC, we get a look at what the art of Channeling really is.
Channeling (also called psychic reading or channeled reading) is the reception of thought from the spirit world for the purpose of communicating with spirits (non-corporal entities, spirits of the deceased, or nature spirits) and angels.
The person receiving and passing on the information is called a medium or psychic reader. Some mediums go into a full trance, allowing spirit to take full control over their body, permitting spirit to speak through the medium directly. Other mediums use a meditative state to connect to spirit. Some of these use automatic writing, which is the process where the hand moves by itself to scribble words. Others use a form of telepathy, receiving thoughts from spirit in their minds. By sensing which thoughts are theirs and which are spirit, they learn to distinguish and can pass on the information received with much clarity.
During this form of telepathy, most mediums merge their own aura (energy field) with the energy field of the spirit, achieving a good mental connection. Often not only thoughts can be transmitted, but also images and even feelings. Some mediums appear to hear voices which others cannot hear, or clairaudience.
While there are a number of talented genuine channelers with a good connection to spirit, some are not actually connected with the entity they claim to channel, instead they have been fooled by lower astral beings who pretend to be an angel or another higher entity. Messages from such entities can be identified by observing what they promote: If it is the ego (often giving the receiver messages that make them feel proud), the message is more likely to come from lower realms and should be handled with great caution. If the messages instead promote deeper understanding, forgiveness, and love, it is much more likely this stems from higher realms.
It must be noted that a number of claimed mediums, especially those appearing before large audiences, are fraud, sometimes using technology or trickery to convince their audience of their powers, which has damaged the reputation of channeling.
Channeling dates back to early human history in that shamans have been using some form of channeling over millennia, and it became very popular in the mid 1800s. Some of the best known mediums are: Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), Jane Roberts (1929-1984) and Allan Kardec (1804-1869), who fathered the term “spiritism“
