What I most want to convey to you is the abundance of help available from spiritual sources. Whether or not you perceive non-physical beings, they are here, all around us. There are many ways to connect with these beings. One of those methods is channeling.

Most people think of channeling as a recent development – a weird, woo-woo, new-age innovation. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Channeling the wisdom of spirits is an ancient practice. All around the world, for millennia, healers have communicated with spirits and guides. Some listened to spirits and then carried the words back to their community. Others allowed spirits to speak directly through them – and this is the method currently described as channeling.

There is nothing strange or new about channeling. It is a traditional wisdom and healing practice. What is strange is how our society turned away from these beings, when they have so much to give.

Fortunately, we are beginning to turn back. As we enter this period of planetary instability, as the Earth’s ecosystem shows clear signs of breaking down, we are reevaluating our priorities and looking for help. And the spirits are stepping forward, ready to partner with us to avert disaster, or to support the survivors when full-scale disaster strikes.

Over the last 15 years, I have been developing my capacity to channel non-physical beings. I didn’t intend to do this; it happened organically. It started with a strange feeling of overlap, changed to a sensation of them opening the chakras along my back, and then settled into a familiar routine of them dropping in through my crown chakra. It’s entirely voluntary on my part. I can say no, I can tell them to come back later, or I can accept the offer.

I have been careful from the very beginning about who I channel. I have asked my primary guides to screen them, so that I only work with beings who are bright and safe. The majority are angels or light-realm guides, but some are ascended masters or nature spirits. I absolutely do not channel deceased humans.

Channeling is different from repeating information that has been gleaned intuitively. I am capable of hearing what guides say, through clairaudience, and I do offer this service. But when I channel, a being speaks directly, using my body. I am semi-conscious, which means that I am partially aware of what is being said. I remember some parts but am completely unaware of other parts.

It has taken a while for me to learn how to interact with spirit beings. They are diverse in their character – they can be funny, serious, irreverent, kind, and sometimes very direct. Some are skilled at explaining concepts, others can barely speak. Gradually I’ve come to understand that even more important than their words are the energies they transmit. Their energies can help us heal, by bringing us greater balance.

For several years, I’ve channeled in healing sessions, when a client is receptive and a guide presents him/herself. Just this year, I’ve begun channeling in group sessions, with a colleague who also possesses this skill. Whether in an individual or group setting, the wisdom that comes through can be very useful for spiritual guidance and for help with practical matters.

Again, what I most want to convey to you is the abundance of help that is available. Non-physical beings are here, all around us. Although the light-realm beings I’ve channeled are diverse in many ways, they have in common their complete lack of judgment, their compassion, and their willingness to help.

In whatever way you can connect with them, I encourage you to do so. Life is so much better when we understand that, in every step we take, we are accompanied by angels. Life is so much richer when we understand that, everywhere we go, we can greet wise and beautiful spirits.
