@Nikulas - good for you! I think you will really enjoy channeling. You have so much experience witnessing successful channeling, you are far, far ahead of where I was when I set out to try this a long time ago. You will know to relax and enjoy the experience, taking with you only what resonates, leaving anything else easily behind.

I agree with our @Catherine's answer. I read Opening to Channel by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, and learned enough to have a rich experience channeling. I do know my guide's name - or one of them, anyway. His name is Archer. When life gets very intense, it seems, I start seeing his name everywhere. It reminds me that I am sort of disconnected now, and I think he is calling me back.

He is not the only entity that came through for me, but he is the most constant presence. He's a bit stern and serious, and doesn't really engage much with me - he's just always there. There was another who came through strongly (my channeled messages were written), who was such a sweet and wise, lighthearted personality, so kind and loving. I loved it. He was very funny too, and used to gently tease me. I wrote about that somewhere on this site before, but I can't think where.

It was during a time in my life when I was scared of anything that wasn't biblical; I was worried about bringing in something nasty, so I deliberately channeled Jesus. I'm not sure, now that I think and feel so differently, what he would say his name is. I guess the point is, you will get what you need. Just forget about any agenda or expectation, and call love and wisdom to you.

I remember asking later on in our conversations who he really was, and not getting a biblical answer. If I remember correctly, he told me that he was me, and that he was God, and then blew my mind by telling me that God was me LOL! I had no way to really process that information at the time, but it has never left me, and I believe it to be true. By that time, even though I couldn't really understand, I just loved and trusted him so much, I didn't care anymore. I think if you take simple precautions, and put out your own beautiful energy, you will attract someone lovely to come chat with you.

I have no doubt that whoever my loving friend is/was, Archer sent him to me. Not sure how I know that, I just do. I was badly heartbroken at the time, and Archer just isn't the sort of guy whose shoulder you'd cry on... so he sent me someone upon whose shoulder I most certainly could cry on, to my little heart's content. ;) I am still so grateful for that.

It's funny, how you give yourself answers, by writing on IQ. I was going to tell you I don't channel now because I feel that I am still far too often, as now, falling back into sadness and depression, and would be nowhere near clear enough, energy wise, to channel. Now looking back, my best, most amazing channeling experience came when I was broken so low, I was suicidal. Obviously, sadness is no barrier. I think all you really need is sincerity.

Thank you so much, Nikulas. Your honest question has just led me to see that it is high time for me to call on a very old friend, with very broad shoulders. I believe I will.

Enjoy it, our Nikulas. And let us know who you meet.

Love, Grace

I love Bashar!

Everyone can and does channel. It does not have to be with a specific spiritual guide, it can simply be your higher mind, and it does not have to be in the spoken format as those on Tuning In. Quiet your mind and ask your guides for help (in a way that you are actually thanking them for the help you are already receiving). Think of a moment when you were so focused on something that you lost track of time and things just sort of poured out. Remember how that felt and really feel it. It is a vibration that allows you to download the information that you need. Do so without expectation or judgment. You don't have to start speaking as an alien, or be disappointed when you don't. Just be open and play with it.

Start small, and continue to do it. You will strengthen your ability to channel by doing it more.

I am not sure how others do it but as for myself, when I used to channel I would stare at a shinny object until I was in a trance. Then would be asked if someone was here and if so who it was and what he had to say. I could as well make an intention on contacting someone if I wanted to then stare at something shinny to get into a trance.

When I channeled playing my guitar that was different, I would think of a player and imagine that player and I were one and the same.

Hi Nikulas, just let go through a meditative state and access your own vibrational energy, it really is that simple ... there are two important aspects ... "trust" in yourself and the energies that you receive and "symbols". A symbol is a gateway into the collective consciousness, it's a "rainbow bridge". The collective consciousness or star family is perceived as a separate living entity, that is why there can be so many different names for it because we each approach it from a different angle ... your symbols are your guides and you can have as many as you wish, some channelers perceive them as extraterrestrials, others as simple drawn or imagined symbols, for others they are real or imagined heros, just let your energy and imagination fly wherever ...

a modern version of the american indian dream catcher

it automatically collects cosmic energies, energies from the dream world if you prefer, and these energies can be stored in an electret

enjoy :)

I Always tell people. If u want to channel so u can have all the information u want satisfied, u wont connect,. IT is ONLY about searching inside first,. I could NEVER have learned to channel, unless meditation, and inward looking wasn't my obsession and my addiction. When it is based off of a selfish need to know everything, it wont come to u. So many want to be famous, or to be known, BUT it is those who want to help others, and look inside themselves, THESE are the ones who will channel. It takes a long time to do it, u have to be OF the vibration of channeling, More neutrality, being willing to put urself aside for anothers message,. With our ego, sometimes it can be rough LOL.

Go here and listen to min 64 and 40 seconds,. talks about this too.

Nikulas,

Although I have not yet knowingly or consciously channeled, it does fall under my umbrella interest in all things psychic and metaphysical.

The following seminar given by Bashar on how to channel is the most interesting (and I imagine useful) thing that I have yet come across...more than four hours of material:

Brad Johnson also has some tantalizing course packages available on his website...they cost a little bit, but the comprehensiveness of the material covers looks quite impressive; if the material delivers on the promise of the description, I'd think it well worth the cost. I'll probably pick this stuff up myself in the coming months (when I have the time), so if you don't mind waiting that long I'll let you know what I think of it:
