Hey beautiful.
Oh, how I love summer, and in the UK we have been blessed with hot days and clear skies which, for me, means OCEAN time!! Natural aura cleansing at its best. My children have loved it too, they are always so much more peaceful and happy after a few hours on the beach. I’ve also had fun working with ley lines, having nourishing conversations with friends about conscious evolution and communicating with non physical. Nom Nom.

So many people have asked me over the years about how to channel, what’s it like and who can do it. When I have mentored people in channeling their guides, or when it happens in a channeled session with Aurora, people are usually really surprised by how easy it is and the results are beautiful to witness.
People feel like they have come home and the Love they experience is powerful and transformative.
People keep asking me if I have a course on how to channel and now, finally, I can say yes…well at the end of August I will be able to say yes! I’m holding a live hangout towards the end of August all about channeling your guides and non physical energy. I’ll send you more details soon.

As I’ve been talking to people about channeling, I’ve honestly been floored by what some people have been told is required to be a channel. Things that just haven’t been a part of my experience. So I’ve compiled a list of what I believe is needed in order to be able to channel and what’s not. Some of them are quite funny and some of them are ludicrous and highlight something important that needs to be challenged in the spiritual community. Take what resonates, drop the rest.
What you don’t need
Someone to open your Akashic Records or given special permission.
This floored me. You don’t need anyone to unlock any aspect of you. You are a multi-dimensional, sovereign being and all information is available to you at anytime. It can be supportive to work with someone who has more experience or works in a different field to you. But you certainly don’t need any “master” to give you permission, at any level, in order to channel. I thought this was hilarious until I realised that it was being taken quite seriously. You may need support, yes. Permission, no. Bye, bye spiritual hierarchy.
To be vegetarian.
Or on any special diet at all. When I first started channeling I was smoking. Not something usually equated with high vibrations. It didn’t get in the way one bit. I still eat some meat and have the occasional glass of wine. Years ago, after giving my first ever reading to a stranger, I went for a walk to ground myself and then sat and had a pint of lager to celebrate!
My diet and reactions to food have shifted since I started to channel. Yours may do too, but there are no rules. What’s more important is that you respond to your own body’s needs and that can take some time to discover. The point I want to make here is that, in my experience, there is no prerequisite diet to be a channel.
To be special and have special gifts.
To be honest, this one really peeves me. There is no such thing as a special person for channeling. We’re all unique but you don’t have to have been “born gifted” or able to see spirit from birth. I’ve taught people how to channel their guides who have never seen energy, spirit or had a psychic experience and it flowed really easy for them. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds and we are all spiritual. We are all enough. End of.
To be a serious meditator.
Or actually serious at all. The more you can bring a sense of play and fun to channeling, the easier the information and guidance will flow. Most guides that I come across have a wonderful sense of humour and see play as an important aspect of life. Meditation doesn’t need to have been a huge part of your life for you to channel and you’ll probably find that channeling really helps to ground you and allow you to be more present to your life.
To be perfect or have all of your life sorted first.
Sometimes people are unsure if they can be a pure channel because they haven’t looked after their body “properly” in the past, have a busy life with kids, or some areas of their lives are chaotic, out of resonance in some way and basically, well, quite normal actually. It’s alright that your life isn’t perfect, channeling and working with your guide can really help you to make positive changes.
The guides certainly don’t expect you to be perfect and want to support you in loving and accepting yourself more. It’s like having a best friend whose learned how to love unconditionally and they are usually much kinder than we are to ourselves!
Channeling for yourself doesn’t need to take up much time, or be done in a special sacred place all of the time. Channeling can easily be adopted into a modern, active lifestyle. The only proviso I would add, is that it’s easier if you are in a reasonably stable emotional place. If you have a major crisis going on in your life then maybe wait until that’s resolved and you have reached a certain level of peace with that area.
On the other hand, connecting with a loving presence could be really helpful and supportive at a time of crisis. You are your own best guide in knowing what’s right for you. But basically, the more generally happy and content you feel (the majority of the time) the easier the process will be.
What you do need
The desire to do it
Honestly, that’s it really, that’s the most important one. If channeling is something that you are curious about, want to experience and would love to have a go, that’s the indication right there that you can do it. I’m not curious at all about accounting and working in a tax office which shows me that it’s not for me. Let’s dispel this mystical, mysterious approach to channeling shall we? You will most likely have had lifetimes where channeling was your job. It’s natural to channel, it’s just not normal in the job market place anymore. It would have been at one time.
When I visited John of God in Brazil, both Ian and I were part of a team who channeled energies each day to support John of God in his work. Getting up each morning was a thrill. I was going to work and it felt so natural and normal in that community. That’s what we are doing on this leading edge of evolving consciousness, changing the job market place and what’s considered usual. We are all architects building a new global community and it’s amazing.
Be willing to trust, play and learn
Channeling does take a leap of faith, trusting yourself and the ability to not take yourself too seriously. When I’m about to channel and the information first starts to come through, I sometimes only know the first two or three words to speak. Sometimes its something like a confirmation of the person’s current job and I have no idea if it’s correct. Sometimes it’s about someone’s personal issues and this can come before a person has even asked a question. In that moment, there’s a gap, a space and it’s a leap into the unknown. As I speak the words, more comes and it all starts to flow.
Nowadays, I’ve leaned to trust that process and love it, that’s part of the thrill of channeling for me. To begin with it made me a little nervous and I needed to surrender my desires for the outcome of the session and flow with whatever turned up.
It will be the same for you, and like any process, there are skills to learn which simply means a willingness to practice. You’ll develop your own way of knowing what certain pictures mean, or colours, or how to follow a flow of words. It’s so rewarding and leads to being able to trust yourself and your intuition in a powerful way.
Oh, on the note of not taking yourself too seriously; I once came out of a channeling state (just channeling for myself) and was looking at myself in the mirror and could see yellow around my solar plexus and thought “OMG I can see my chakra so easily, this is awesome” only to remember that I had been painting that morning and had splashed some yellow paint on my shirt! Laughing with yourself is very useful sometimes. Laughing and deciding that you are just cute is very helpful in those circumstances.
Be able to sit still….at least for a little while!
You don’t have to be able to meditate for hours on end but it does help if you can at least sit still for 15 minutes or so at a time! I know some people worry that there ADHD tendencies will be a block, it doesn’t have to take up a huge amount of time and you can build it up over time.
Channeling does takes practice and for it to be a valuable addition to your personal evolution, you need to, well, do it. Sounds crazy obvious to even mention it doesn’t it? But this is where having the desire to channel comes in. It takes practice to learn your own unique way of channeling and to gain confidence in what you are receiving.
Connecting with your guides for 15 minutes each day really helps or maybe for a little longer once a week. It will build as will your ability to focus. But if you don’t do it, you won’t be channeling. Just like, if I don’t go shopping, I most likely, won’t have food.
The desire to channel your guide is the propelling energy that will allow you to be curious enough to practice and refine.
That’s it. All you need to begin and start learning the hows. There are many books about channeling that can get you started right away.
You’ll just love it so much that it feels like play.
Honestly. Trust me, I’m a channel!
So what stops you from having a go at channeling?
From taking that first step of leaning the hows?
Do you think that you have to be specially gifted?
What about channeling intrigues you?
Have you any fears or doubts that are getting in your way?
I’d love to hear from you. Next week I’ll be discussing the fears around channeling, what might happen, will it change you? Will your head start spinning and other crazy ideas that don’t get spoken about very often. So if you have any questions of your own please do contact me or leave a comment below and I’ll address them as best I can.
Hugs
