Channeling 101 - with Abraham

~ I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory. - Andre Breton

What is it to channel? This isn't the automatic writing type of channeling. For that matter Automatic writing - where something else moves the writing instrument - may not be channeling. But that is digressing. Channeling is a way of connecting with source and with other energies, entities, conscious beings who do not have physical form.

What you connect with may or may not have a name. What you connect with will have an energy signature you will come to recognize if you channel with any regularity or under consistency. What it is like for you is not necessarily what it is like for another.

That said, this is a very unique challenge to share what it is to channel and then say you know or you can and not tell or show you. Trust that is what it is. It is a thing that is so unique it can be compared to riding a bike. You cannot tell, demonstrate yes.

Abraham-Hicks is the most well-known and effectively marketed of the current channels. They offer a description of a vortex... and that is what it is for them.



For a warning on what can happen if you don't follow some sort of process for grounding or protecting yourself while channeling, check out the story from AK on Examiner.com. Channeling requires very strong mental, emotional, physical and metaphysical boundaries and a healthy self-esteem to allow you to self-right if you inadvertently get caught up in a world you didn't expect to encounter.

There is no channeled message so important that one must lose oneself in the process. It is a method of discovery. And so, at this time, we are discovering and uncovering more about what channeling is and what we can learn through that process of exploring conscious connection.

It requires a willingness to let go and let God ... learn. It also requires patience to see what others come back with before passing judgment as to whether or not it works for them and whether or not it is helpful for you. You do not have to channel to benefit from the learning of another who does.

If you channel to connect with anything other than your higher self or your own spirit guides, use discernment to determine what you are connecting with and whether or not it is in your best interest to hand over your life to live in vicarious form.
