For me, channeling is sitting down in front of a laptop computer keyboard in a comfortable chair, closing my eyes and just letting my fingers go.

When I do this, I often feel my head moving around quite a bit by itself as though the muscles in my neck are adjusting themselves.

When I feel like I have locked on to a signal, my fingers start typing extremely rapidly (I am a fairly proficient touch typist in everyday life) and a flood of information comes out, usually relating to things I have been thinking about in my everyday life.

While I am typing, it all just seems like a stream of random sentences. But when the experience is over and I look back at what has been typed, I am often quite surprised at some of the profound writing that has seemingly come out of nowhere.

I've been doing this on and off for a few years, often spaced apart by many months, and usually only when I feel inspired to do so.

I should probably try this more often because the experience is always immensely uplifting. But there are usually too many other interesting things going on in my life to distract me from doing it :)

I haven't yet applied this process to answering a question on Inward Quest. I might try it one day and see what happens. :)

UPDATE

I came across the following channelling guidelines on the Kryon website which I thought were very good and have requoted them below.

Guidelines for discernment when channelling

1. There will always be useful information for everyone. Beware of the channel that gives you useful information for only a few, or tells you that it's only for a special group or a sequestered number. It must be useful for ALL humanity, every single Human. This is an area of discernment allowing you to know you are hearing the truth.

2. The message should be uplifting. Watch for an empowering message - NOT ONE OF FEAR, not one that drags you down - not one that makes you want to take fearful action or hide - but an enabling message! This is a staple of God energy. It must be there. It should inspire the listener and reader. Every recorded angel appearance before a Human Being has begun with "Fear not!"

3. Spirit (God) will never, ever channel a message that asks you to give up your free will. Never! For your free will is what your experience on Earth is all about as you sit in your "chairs of gold" (a metaphor created in Kryon Book Six). Free will! FREE CHOICE is what drives your future.

4. Spirit will never give you a message - ever - that asks you to violate the integrity of what you believe. You are honored in your thought processes. Spirit will never trick you or "talk you" into anything. The message must never violate your integrity. You must feel comfortable with it, and it must ring true to your heart.

5. Spirit will never represent a channeller as being the only source. Watch for this, for there are many channels of Spirit and they all coordinate their information to create a bigger picture, especially in this New Age. They will NEVER represent themselves as the ONLY source of information.

6. Watch for the fact that the information is normally new information. Beware of the channel that simply re-hashes the old, for they are not channelling anything but the ego of the Human Being. New information is necessary, combined with "core information," it is the entire reason for the channel. Think about it.

7. Watch for the fact that channelled information should have spiritual solutions presented. Solutions to life challenges on Earth, via new information, is the purpose of channelling.

Channelling can be dangerous in that, that which is channelled is assumed to be correct because it came via unusual means. We assume that the source of the message is Good and that it is Superior to us. This is not necessarily the case.

If I were 'the devil' it would be one of the first methods I would choose to alter people's perception of the Truth. Think newspapers, or any media for that matter, they feed us the information that they want us to see.

Our brains are computers that 'others' can use as well as us. How to test the incoming messages? Hard to do if we are asking questions about biblical stories etc... Don't know the answer to that.

Some famous channellers have stood the test of time and prophecy.. I am a great fan of Edgar Cayce, and even he did not get it right 100% of the time. His channelled cures on the other hand were the springboard for many of our modern day therapies and medicines.

why would anny one channel famous people? leave the dead alone! if they have something to tell you they will come by free will! and not all spirit that come talk to you are evolve some are lost they did not know the light and are trap in a world of there own making! so do not play with what you don't control!
