Who do you channel? |
Channeling is the act of tuning into the Divine Source to bring through love, wisdom, and guidance.
These sessions are like psychic counseling. The psychic reading is aimed at helping you to better understand yourself and whatever you are asking about and to give you tools to help you create what you want.
We are all part of a Divine Source. This Divine source is a Higher Power that goes by many names, such as God, Universal Intelligence, Creative Principle, First Cause, etc. We can use this Higher Power to help us with anything at any time. We can and should use the Divine Source to heal every circumstance in our lives - mental, emotional, and physical - including finances, relationships, spirituality, work, and health.
Through channeling we can:
- Identify life lessons;
- Gain self-awareness;
- Understand dreams;
- Contact deceased loved ones;
- Identify destructive habit patterns;
- Receive guidance, healing, and comfort;
- Discover current- and past-life influences;
- Reconnect with the Divine Self - the Higher Self;
- Meet friends on the Other Side, such as spirit guides and teachers;
- Get to the heart of what's really going on in relationships of all kinds.
How can a channeled reading help?
A channeled reading gives you "hidden" information for greater understanding. The "hidden" information that comes through isn't mysterious or dangerous; it's just what's going on under the surface, such as how another person is feeling and what may be causing those feelings, issues within a business organization including possible changes that might affect you; recurring patterns of behavior, and so on. You also receive suggestions of changes you can make to ensure a happier outcome.
The information that comes through me never tells you what to do. That would be impinging on free will, and free will is sacred. The information is brought through to help you make your own choices and feel good about them.
How do you channel?
I am a conscious trance channel, so I am usually aware of what is being said while I'm channeling, although I do not know what will come through beforehand. Sometimes I am actively involved, such as when I give you information that I am guided to share with you, or when I am helping to translate symbols and impressions that are coming through; other times I am very passive as words come through me without accompanying pictures or impressions.
Who do you channel?
After years of channeling, someone asked me who I channel, and I realized that I had never asked for names. I had always just thought of them as "The Council" or "The Gang." My spiritual teacher, Rev. Don Weldon, taught me that names are not important - content and results are. The information that came through was always uplifting and helpful so I never bothered to get an ID. I had simply always thought of it as higher consciousness for which I act as a mouthpiece.
I believe that all wisdom comes from the Divine Source, or God, through our Higher Self (also known as our Superconscious). The Higher Self is our soul, the very soul that is animating this physical body. It knows its oneness with the Divine Source and never forgets it.
Souls are individual expressions of the Divine Source. Teachers, guides, departed loved ones, angels, and Masters are souls in the non-physical. Depending on their level of understanding, they are aware of their connection with the Divine Source and can help us remember our own connnection and use the wisdom and love available to us at all times. We know many of these individual souls as our dearest friends (soul mates) when we are on the Other Side. Who helps us from the Other Side depends on the person for whom I am channeling. I ask for those best qualified to assist in each case and trust to the Divine Source. It always comes through.
How can I get the best results?
The kind of information that comes through - the style and clarity - is determined by you as much as by me. Your attitude will decide what you get and how well you understand and use the information. I asked why attitude makes such a difference and the reply was, "You are beings of free will. If your attitude is negative, you are giving us the message that you don't really want to hear what we have to say. If you are hiding something from the channel or falsely denying something that is coming through, you are telling us that that subject is off-limits. If you are saying 'I can't,' or 'That won't work,' to every suggestion we make, you are telling us that you do not want to consider our suggestions. We must honor your free-will choice."
I abide by the sanctity of free will in all of my work. Respecting free will includes respecting another's privacy. I consider respect especially important as a channel and hypnotherapist due to the confidential nature of the work.
When do I need a reading?
A channeling session can be very helpful when you want to gain a higher perspective. Sometimes there is just too much happening at once or you are too closely involved in a situation to be able to get out of the confusion of emotions.
What can I ask about?
You can ask questions about anything except random acts. Random acts are things like gambling, including winning the lottery. Questions on spiritual, social, financial, global, career, health, and relationships of all kinds are fair game. All questions are best aimed at how to better understand yourself and others and how to improve yourself and your lifestyle.
Answers do not come in the form of what I call "magic-wand promises." Take predictions for example. If you ask whether or not you will be happy with someone you are considering as a partner (business or personal), you will not receive a simple yes or no. You will receive information on the pros and cons that may include the issues that need to be addressed, past-life influences, yours and the other person's recurring patterns, the hidden emotions, motivations, and so on. You will also receive guidance on how to change what you don't like. (One of the things I love the most about channeling is that even if you get what you think of as bad news, you also get guidance on how to change it.)
Can you tell me my future?
I don't do what is considered traditional fortune-telling. I'd rather help you make changes so you create the future that you want than tell you what is probably going to happen.
As you can see from the previous questions ("What can I ask about?"), psychic predictions are used as tools to help you improve your life. Their purpose is to:
- Validate your choices or;
- Help you get through something you may not like but cannot change or;
- Give you a heads-up if you're making choices that will result in a future you don't like.
Predictions are given as probable or not probable, but never guaranteed because through our free will, we create and change our future with every thought, word, and deed. That means that we can change almost anything in our future!
