Finding Your Way To Yourself

I wanted to share something with you today - it has been a while and I feel an update might be important.

In the Wisdom Secrets book, which does not actually physically exist though there are books titled that way and that way of title is meant well but in the actual Wisdom Secrets book is not pages. It is more like energy that comes in all languages. It is a book of the means of communicating by telepathy.

Telepathy is not mental, it is physical and instinctual, and is something that all human beings and for that matter all beings on Earth are born with.

Mostly you do not come with a book of instructions when you are born that is including telepathy but you are born with the capability and you sort of get talked out of it either by well intentioned parents or brothers or sisters or friends or you simply find that it’s difficult to do and it is very difficult to do if you are pursuing it in thought.

So I’m going to give you a little homework. It’s different this time. Instead of trying to communicate a thought, as in ESP eh - classical experiments, this time try to communicate a motion - not how many fingers am I holding up - nothing that simple, rather a motion that involves walking a certain way, alright?

 

Not everyone will be able to do this but here’s the thing, in animal world this type of learning and teaching goes on all the time. Some one or two beings start doing it and then all beings in that area are suddenly doing it - if it is something worthwhile for them, you understand but then without any apparent communications that you’re aware of all the beings all over the world like that are suddenly doing that. This is not only to their good end, their good benefit, it is to demonstrate to you that you can do this as well.

So begin by performing a step, could be a dance, doesn’t have to be fancy but make something up for yourselves working with one or two others or a good friend who is also into this type of channeling and see if you can get it without seeing the other person and don’t reveal anything other then your successes to each other.

You can say, “No, that’s not it,” or think that to yourself but don’t get depressed. It’s not easy to remember something that you were born with - okay? So give yourself plenty of patience and remember, this is something you can rediscover and such a rediscovery might just eventually prove to be the way of wisdom yes, and ultimately the way of peace. Goodlife

 

Growing into a Channeling

Oftentimes in one of your channellings for a private session perhaps or to your students they will hear what they hear for themselves in your teaching but they will also take in the overall lesson that you are presenting with the Being you’re bringing through.

 I think it’s also important here to understand something. Your channeling may be getting printed somewhere, perhaps in a magazine or a newsletter or something else online and providing some good for others but here’s something important to know. 

 When you provide a recording to an individual perhaps or any type of recording of your channeling in any format, especially if it’s personal, it’s important to let people know that it would be good for them to listen to that recording from time to time.

 In life you grow, you change, you have experience. Someone might even be stuck on a repeated experience that’s baffling them. Maybe someone may not have anybody who can channel at the depth that you or others can channel to provide inspiration or advice or maybe they don’t have the advisors they need in that time. 

 Then here’s what they could benefit from doing. Go back and listen to the channeling they have received before. Because of some time of change and life happening, even though they heard the message at the time they received this channeling, that was addressed to their concerns then.

 There may have been things that were mentioned that didn’t quite seem to be timely to them at that time. That’s because they might very well have been meant for the future and perhaps that future has caught up to them now.

 So I recommend that you advise them to listen to old sessions even if they are getting good advice because it is possible to grow into a channeling.

Minor Changes on My Blogs

Laws have changed in the European Union that have to do with some elements on my blogs, so I’ve removed those elements to comply. I hope these removals haven’t inconvenienced you. Do know that I welcome you all to read these blogs. Goodlife

Sensitivity and Honesty, Principals Part 2

It’s important to remember that a lot of the people who come to see you to get a private reading or a private session or what ever you call it - for them, this will be their last resort and maybe they’ve been to their minister, maybe they talked to their friends or their family, maybe they’ve been asking themselves questions their whole life - why their life is going this way or always be a better way - in short they’re coming to you because you’re their last resort. 

This puts you in a bit of a tricky situation because you want to provide, of course the best possible connection and the clearest possible connection you can make to channel and I know that you know that and I know that you will do your utmost to do that but there’s more.  

There will be times when people want to talk about a session after they’ve had it and you may or may not, depending upon how you channel, have some recollection of what came through you. 

If you don’t have any recollection of what came through you then you’re in a position where you probably need to listen more then talk. But if you have some recollection or if they start talking about it and bits and pieces come back to you - then if they ask you personally rather then the entity you channel what you think about this or that just say what ever your honest feelings are and keep in mind that they’re probably in a sensitive and vulnerable position and many of these people have probably never asked this of someone they don’t know, what ever it is they’re asking. 

So you have to learn essentially how to talk to people - and a interesting thing comes up here - alright. Many of you doing this channeling -alright - may not have always been very glib. Maybe words weren’t easy for you and you wished when you were younger or desired without saying it - you wished that you had all the words you needed in all the ways you needed to say them so that people would know and understand what you were exactly trying to say or that you would be able to help them or comfort them with just the right words. I’m not saying you all are like that but some of you are. 

So know this then, I’m not expecting you to be perfect - you’re human beings and so am I - we’re not perfect but we can try to be as much as we can be in the most benevolent way we can be a good Channel and while the person is there talking to us but only if they want to talk about the session - don’t you bring it up - alright - then we try to be sensitive, kind and considerate if that’s appropriate. Occasionally it isn’t but most of the time it will be. 

So, that’s all I wanted to say about that for now - alright. Goodlife

Principals

Sometimes people or even groups of people may approach you and ask for you to do something that doesn’t sit well with you. This is what I recommend you say and use as a foundational policy as well: “I only work in the most benevolent way.” This of course is not only a policy but is based upon the following. 

As a dedicated Channel working with the highest good in mind, you know that spirit you interact with and feel their energy is only benevolent. You know this based upon how you feel physically in contact with them as well as what they have communicated to you personally over time. 

Also spirit works only in the most benevolent way and can help to bring about change gently as long as all feel good about any change, slight or moderate, that they themselves might make to provide a change you may have requested for yourself or others, say in Living Prayer or Benevolent Magic for example. This also applies in advice, background information or other that you may bring through in channeling. 

If someone asks you to channel something that goes against your deeply held principals, you don’t have to do that. It might be something religious or philosophical for example. If it is something like that then what I’ve done in the past is to have a list of other Channels that I feel are clear and doing good work as far as I know and will refer that person or group who has made that request to another Channel who might be willing to work with them and their interests. 

If, on the other hand, someone or some group asks you to channel some thing or some entity that feels corrupted or even evil to you physically and/or mentally I recommend you do not do that. Sometimes this can even come up in a group you may have worked with or even an individual who is just curious and seems to be asking because they just wondered about that. It is up to you then to guide them away from that pursuit by simply saying no. 

You cannot save everyone from taking the wrong path but you do not have to run down that path with them to try to bring them back. Some things are just, “No” and that’s all you can do. That’s what I recommend. Goodlife

Are You Working With Other Dimensions

Know this, for those of you doing what we call Magic, True Magic and deeper things - there are a few of you there in the world doing these things, that interacting with other dimensions where you are your natural self - your natural spirit self, your true personality - like that - alright - those dimensions will feel like reality because you are who you really are and you can do things that seem magical in third dimensional Earth but are normal for your natural capabilities. 

The more you interact with and/or are a portion of that to interact to do the good things you do you will feel stranger - alright - in the third dimensional Earth that you occupy the rest of the time and you may at times not trust what goes on in that dimension. It won’t feel real. 

So even though you may be subject to third dimensional Earth, meaning you were born and raised here - your physical body is of Earth, because of your awareness and functioning capabilities in other places which might even present you with evidence from time to time according to things that you actually see then a “natural” thing takes place and the natural thing that takes place is that you know what you know when you need to know it more frequently than would be the “natural” case for a third dimensional Earthian person.

So if you notice that you have beliefs that may be contradicted or are an element of a larger group - meaning temporal* - alright -  Earth time, than you can be pretty sure that this is an effect of being in your natural state when you are doing the work or when Beings from that natural state are visiting you or the third thing - you are observing phenomena, as it might be called in third dimensional Earth, that is literally in front of you or all around you and it seems completely comfortable for you to see these things.

So the reason I am revealing this to you right now is because in these times when Earth is struggling to maintain herself she will at times drop the illusion - alright - she’ll drop the illusions that she allows you to have on her third dimensional Earthian personality so that you can be who you are in third dimensional Earth and on third dimensional Earth and forget who you are so that you can accomplish the work of the Explorer Race but if it drops from everyone, most everyone else because of their conditioning will not notice too much. 

There might be some small anomalies which most people will brush off but some people with mental aberrations, either brought about by traumas of life or by matter that they consume - alcohol in small quantities in this case or drugs - sometimes the accumulated affect of drugs, will see more and it might cause further mental aberrations which is why sometimes people are doing things which seem to be absolutely crazy and afterwards really do not remember doing it. 

An example of this crime would be people suddenly for no particular reason driving up on a sidewalk and driving over people and then afterwards really not believing that they could have done such a thing when they are back in their prescient awareness. 

That’s a case of the anomaly affecting someone because of alcohol or opiates or chemicals that they are consuming. Well - and it is because in moments Earth must drop that not real aspect which for her, third dimensional Earth, in allowing you to believe that you are only having a life on Earth and nothing else for example, that she cannot sustain it because she must be her natural self in order to maintain, rebuild and stay alive as a planet, as a Being.

So, those moments are usually split seconds but nowadays sometimes several seconds - two, three - two almost three to be precise and therefore people are having really what amounts to visions. Most people brush it off but the exceptions are people under the influence.

So you need to know this if you are working with other dimensional things for your work or you are in touch with other dimensions or you are simply more conscious and functioning in your true natural state by interactions with other dimensions.

So if you’re having strange, for Earth person, beliefs or you’re having experiences that don’t seem to follow logically that is why that is.

Now I know you’re going to ask me what you can do about it so I’m going to give you a Living Prayer - alright.

You know what to do, first say the preamble where you ask for all the most benevolent energies to be all around and about you and pause after the energy fades just a little bit - it surges ja**, then it fades. 

Then say this, “I am asking that when I am on Earth and focused only on Earth for my life on Earth that I experience complete Earthian clarity and when I am doing my work that may involve other dimensions that I be able to do that in the most benevolent way for me and that these experiences be only of other dimensions when I’m doing the work and that my Earthian personality be clear and of Earth in the most benevolent way for me now.”

That’s what I recommend. Goodlife

—————————————————————

**I was raised where there were quite a few people of germanic culture and ja (means yes in german) is just something I say and you’ll find it here and there in my blogs sometimes. I don’t speak the language though.

What is Deep Trance Channeling the Way I Do It.

I have been asked to describe deep trance channeling the way I do it and here’s my explanation for what it is. 

 For years and years in the beginning I practiced to be able to focus on one thing exclusively and over time I was able to do that.

 During that time of practice I was also able to build up a certain amount of what I would call ethics in our modern world. Those ethics had to do not only with the ethics I was raised with, which is about honoring other people’s needs and showing respect but also adhering to the ideal of privacy so that when I channeled for others on a personal basis that their private information would be protected. 

 The way I was able to do this and have been able over time as I have applied is to stay totally focused in what I am doing which is to create the clearest possible connection of myself and the Being whom I am channeling and to not be attached to or even particularly listen to what they are saying through me to others for the others benefit - meaning the benefit of the person asking the questions. 

 I feel that the foundation of what I am telling you about my process must be based in ethics because that’s really what it’s all about. It’s about a dedication to the well-being of others while providing for my own necessities. 

 This is not a job to go into because you’re looking for something to make lots of money, it’s not about that. It’s about a dedication to improving the quality of life by providing the clearest possible information that is available either on an individual basis when asked by a person or on a basis that is designed to reveal what is, to the greatest number of people which has to do more with books, magazine articles and others along that line - these days perhaps videos eh. 

 So aside from the concentration that I had to develop to maintain that connection in the best way possible, I had to give up a lot of my personal ambition. 

 We are all raised to succeed are we not? Even in some small ways - and it’s a hard one but when you focus completely on one thing it is possible to set all of those personal ambitions aside especially if you remain completely dedicated to improving the lot of the life of everyone in the best and most benevolent way you can. 

 It’s true that I am unable to improve the lot of some over others - meaning it’s true that I do not make an effort to compete by improving say, one country’s goals or political aims or one religion’s goals or political aims, so I understand when some people, because of their politics or their religion, do not like what I do. 

 That has to do with their beliefs and I understand that but just know that my goal is to serve the needs of all beings in the most benevolent way I am able. 

 Now, I know you think I’m digressing but it’s not so for I am answering the question as it was asked of me. 

 Now, my goal then and what I have practiced to do is to make connections with Beings who have shown to me over time that they are able to provide the greatest wisdom that would be of benefit to individuals in their individual circumstances for say a private reading as it’s called or as I call it, a private session and also to be able to provide from their point of view, history and what they believe is so about the world and the universe and all life. 

 I have asked it to be like that rather than asking for the truth - granted others have asked in their questions to tell the truth about this and to tell the truth about that and while I have been raised to adhere to the truth as my watchword, when looking about in our society today, both locally and globally, the word truth has been so knocked about that I am inclined to step around it and say, here is what I believe. So I will ask you to accept that - or to let it go for I am speaking what I believe here today. 

 So over time working with the Beings that I have been putting out their material for a while, and before that others just to practice, I have learned who on the spirit level means well and delivers to the best of their ability, knowledge and wisdom that will help - and who means well and delivers to the best of their ability the knowledge and wisdom that actually helps.

 There are a great many Beings in spirit who mean well and who would like to give knowledge and wisdom that is of great help but they are not always so helpful - and others who really are helpful. How to know the difference?

 It takes time and practice. The number one means by which I know is the energy that I feel from the Being when I’m getting ready to bring someone through. 

 It is a process that involves the feeling of energy, the knowing and the coming together temporarily while I’m channeling. 

 I have asked to be able to channel at the deepest and most profound level many times because if we want to have profound truths, alright - there I used the word, in order for it to feel as though it is relevant and yes truthful it must feel that way because what thinks true or what is convincingly true is not true enough from my point of view. 

 When I look at history books I can see that a great many people have been driven by what they thought was true or by what they were convinced was true but how true was it really when you look at the results. 

 I have discovered that the best truth is that which feels true right down to the core of your being and if you want to know what that feels like simply say - well, “When I want to look at blue sky I look up during the day.” You understand? 

 It has to be something that is an obvious truth for which there is a feeling that there is no doubt about it. The sun is in the sky in the daytime. The moon is in the sky in the nighttime. Like that, things that you know are true. 

 It can’t be mentally true only, it must be physically true which means that you know it is so because you have looked in the sky for yourself - not only because others have told you that it is so, no matter how convincingly.

 So, given these precepts and others primarily focused on practice and dedication I have discovered who is able to share, from their point of view, what will help individuals and what will help many many beings and what, yes, is true. 

 I realize you may think I’m rambling around here a bit but to describe what is channeling is not sufficient. You must know, from my point of view, that I want to learn how to do it, yes - in the beginning eh but I also need to know how to do it well. 

 I read initially books that were channeled that I felt good about. I read things that were foundational elements of philosophy. I took a little philosophy in college as well so I got the idea of what philosophy was. Philosophy was a point of view, an opinion that was believed by one or more individuals to have an everlasting truth. 

 From my point of view, while that was a satisfactory explanation there needed to be a felt truth - a feeling that is true. 

 So I have always asked, when I channel a Being and when I ask for a Being to channel as I did in the beginning when I was looking for Beings who had much to offer at the profound level - I asked to feel a energy that I could recognize as benevolent, deep, profound and yes - loving because that has to be done, this sharing of wisdom at a level that is dedicated to unconditional love of all beings so it has to have forgiveness built into it. 

 It is in the nature then of such love that I have discovered the energy that I recognize that provides the greatest wisdom for the greatest number. 

 So connecting with those energies I bring through the Beings that I believe will provide the greatest wisdom for the greatest number and I particularly feel good about the series of books that I have been able to channel called the Explorer Race series and also the Shamanic Secrets series though the other books have appeal as well. 

 Read them all, you scholars out there, and make up your own mind - or feel into it and see if it has value to you. Or if you prefer, read one or just a little bit of one. I support you in your endeavors to find your own truth and to come to conclusions that serve the greatest number in the greatest way and in the most loving and benevolent way. Goodlife

More About Being Yourself

I originally wrote this with this blog in mind but decided to put it elsewhere. I wanted to make sure it was available for you though and that’s why the link.

Goodlife

Working With Students

It's good to have a plan and lay out some ideas when you start working with students* - teaching them how to channel or teaching them other things because it's in the nature of your work of communications with all this inspiration from these wonderful Beings that you'll get other teaching. You'll learn other things especially if you're personally interested in learning them so you might wind up teaching things that go beyond channeling, if you choose to teach channeling at all. 

Have a plan. Of course you don't have to be rigid in your plan but have some kind of a plan where you have certain things that are foundational elements. Such as, if you're working with a student, that you're both respectful of each other. You notice I said both. You respect the student and the student respects you. 

So communications are respectful though from time to time they'll get excited or feelings will come up but there needs to be respect and forgiveness needs to be there if there's ever outbursts - and forgiveness on both sides would be helpful.

Then also it will come up from time to time that you will want to ask the student questions about themself. This is to help you to know how to work with them and they must be truthful in their responses. If there's something too personal and they don't want to say then they can say that to you. If you need to know what it is then you can ask the Beings that you channel. They may tell you in some way what you need to know. 

The students will of course be asking questions very frequently and sometimes they'll ask personal questions because they'll just be interested or other students will and they'll listen if you have a class.

I'm bringing these things up at times like this because this is the kind of thing that can come up and very often you'll already have an idea in mind - what you're going to do, what you're going to need in directing the students but I'm assuming that if you're here reading this that you're open to suggestions.

So those are two main things that I feel are important. The reason it's important to write these things down and to make a plan with notes to yourself is that you will not always remember. 

Sometimes a student might approach you and is already well on their way spiritually and it's fun to work with them and you might forget some of these foundational principals and so it's good to have it written down so that you can remind yourself - especially when you get older like me :)

I mention this because people don't always realize that you are older if you're communicating at a distance these days and that will come up in our modern communication lifestyle eh?

So of course it's also good if you could have an assistant but for all of you, you won't always have that. For most of my time doing this work I haven't had that and it would be nice but sometimes even an assistant - even if they're temporary - great - if they're full time - great but not always does the assistant communicate with students the way you know that they need to be communicated with in that moment.

So you do the best you can and you are grateful for the help you receive - you know these things.

That's all I'm going to say today. I just wanted to bring that up to you since I felt it's important.

Goodlife

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*They're all different though, so the plan has to be flexible

You Can Still Be Yourself

Now you're going to run into an issue that's a little bit annoying and that's that people are going to want you to be the Beings that your channeling or they're going to expect those qualities out of you. So I want to give you permission right now that you can have your own personality.

Now I know I've touched on this before but in order to support you from being overwhelmed with this I just want to say, once you get going in this work and get well established, sometimes people will want - literally - or expect or hope that you really are that which you are channeling. 

Try to remember and this is something you really could benefit taking to heart I believe, that there's a tendency within peoples to create almost like a hero-worshipping situation in which even though they might know that you cannot be that, that they want you to be that. 

So - there may be times when you will use your inspiration to communicate, especially after a session when you're still sort of in an altered state. You might sort of float through a question and answer period that you might have or you might sort of interact with people. 

If you're a Deep Trance Channel you're going to need to have a little distance - meaning that people are to stay away from you and not move around and to also be quiet when you're first getting started to come out of the channeling - so that you can come down, so to speak, on to your own level of personality - not that you're a lesser being - but so that you can be yourself. It's really important to allow yourself to be yourself. Please take that to heart.

You're not always going to be perfect. You're going to be a human being like everybody else. Sometimes people within earshot of you being a human being are going to be shocked or upset or judge you for that. They may have ideas in their mind that they got from other people or that they simply have come up with themselves that they expect you to be above all of that but in reality, just like others who have been placed on a pedestal - even temporarily - people may at times get disappointed that you're just a regular gal or a regular guy - okay? 

Please allow them their disappointment. Don't try and talk them out of it because in order to be accepted as yourself it is a good thing to have a distinct difference between your day to day personality and the Beings you're channeling - okay? That's all I'm going to say about that now.

Goodlife

Burnout Hazards

These days because more and more people will be wanting or needing the insights you can bring through, you may find that you have a tendency to work more then you would like.

I really recommend you set up certain hours* that you're available to do this work even though you may or may not actually have the work to do at those times. 

Now this is not necessarily something that has to be publicized but you can make it public if you like. By doing that you might head off certain problems that come with the work and that's that people might want to call you anytime day or night** because something's come up for them and they feel a pressing need to know more about it. 

I grant that there will be times when you will indulge that - meaning you will also feel that it is urgent for them to have something and you will channel for them for maybe 5 minutes over the phone but the problem with this is that they can either become dependent upon you which may not be good for them or more to the point since I'm speaking to you as individuals you might find that this becomes draining for you. 

You must be very careful not to get too involved in getting too tired as I've mentioned before because if you get too drained all the time you could burnout with this and by burning out I mean that you could feel exhausted all the time and you might not even be aware of why. 

So set up a couple of things, I recommend. Those hours could be one but also make it crystal clear that there are 2 days of the week that you are not to be called or that you are unavailable. You can pick weekend days, you can pick weekdays - it's entirely up to you. I would recommend one weekend day perhaps and one day in the middle of the week so that you can have time off to do what you need to do for yourself or just to completely rest and relax. 

I think that if you do that your body will feel alright with your work and your body is made up of Mother Earth and therefore has wisdom and knowledge that you inherit from the physical matter of Mother Earth. Mother Earth knows when to rest so you can take a lesson from her as well. 

Goodlife

------------------------------------------------------------

*I recommend that you feel into the times that feel best to you for any day or week to do your sessions. Don't be attached to a regular schedule. Your hours where the energy feels like it will be best for you might vary.

------------------------------------------------------------ 

** It's important to have appointment times so you can prepare in the ways that are right for you to do channeled sessions for people. 

It is also important for the people to understand that these moments of wisdom and guidance that you're able to bring through will be best received by them at the appointed hour(s) because you felt that the energy was right for the best you have to offer to come through at those times for them.

Teaching People How To Channel Is Not Something I Do

Lately I've been receiving more requests from people to teach them how to channel or to teach them how to get in touch with their higher selves. This is not something that I teach to people to do though there are others that do so very well. Lyssa Royal teaches people how to do this in Japan though I do not know if she does so in the United States or elsewhere. You could inquire at her site.

I have in the past helped people individually, who were already channeling, to get to a deeper level or to be able to move on to a teacher who could be more profound and topical. I have not done this for a while though I am sharing other guidance here along the lines of my experience as a channel and providing advice to those who are already channeling.

I wish you well in your pursuit of wisdom.

Channel inside a circle of people? I don't Recommend It.

I really strongly recommend that you do not under any circumstances, whether you are a Professional Channel or working towards that, sit in the center of a circle and channel. That seems to be something that people think is really a good thing but it has hazards. 

Primarily it means that people will be behind your back or directly to one side of you or the other. The energies you are channeling may come in through the back of your head, the back of your neck, from the left side of your head or even from the left side of your chest. So I recommend that you do not have people in the audience to either side of you or in back of you. 

The reason is simple. The people who might be sitting behind you - might be sitting to, say your left side for example - they could have thoughts, feelings, all kinds of stuff go through them like all people do - we all have these things but the energy needs to be just right for you - alright - and you need to be able to say - it's alright to say this - that you need to have this and this and this in order to channel well. Not only so that people who are there would be able to enjoy it but so that you will be as comfortable as possible so as to be able to channel in the most benevolent way for all beings. 

It is alright to say that. Remember to state your needs so that everyone is clear and there is as little confusion as possible as to the environment you need. 

There is an exception, as far as those behind you and to either side, that will sometimes happen and that might be if there is a cat or a dog that you feel comfortable with especially if you get the impression yourself that they may be spiritual. 

Perhaps they will lie down and sleep or in the case of some spiritual cats or dogs support the energy of the channeling just by being there. Welcome them if their presence feels good to you while allowing them to come and go as they please.

Now the Beings you channel might at some point invite somebody to come up and sit next to them (you) but that will be up to the Beings, should that ever happen and it is not typical.

Goodlife

Comfort Where You Publicly Channel

Before you begin to channel whether you're in your practice sessions or even when you're publicly channeling I recommend you say this, "I am asking that I be insulated and protected in the most benevolent way for me while I bring through the Beings that I'm practicing with." In the case of publicly channeling you could say it in this form, "I am asking that I be insulated and protected in the most benevolent way for me while I'm channeling and bringing through the benevolent Beings who will speak through me." You don't have to say it every time you channel. As Living Prayers these only need to be said once by you.

If you're doing a session where's there's an audience or other people there, you might want to say something that will put them at ease too because there's always the chance that there will be somebody there who's been brought by somebody else and who doesn't really want to be there. 

It's unfortunate when this happens because these people are usually very nervous - they'd rather be anyplace but there - they might even have bad feelings about the whole thing and yet the person who brought them wants to show them or prove to them that it's a good thing. 

So this sets up conflict energy right in the middle of your sensitive moments of making contact with the Beings. During that process you will not only be very sensitive - which is why we always ask people to be quiet while you are easing in to channeling mode - but even after that process while you are channeling it can make it difficult or uncomfortable to maintain the contact in the presence of that conflict energy.

The Being or Beings that you are channeling will feel that and since they will be paying attention to your needs as well as the needs of the people who are there, they might want to end the session until that conflict energy is no longer present.

So - this is something that I've done and I think that it's really important to do it and enforce it as a policy. I've said, "Is there anybody here who would rather be someplace else right now. I'd smile and I'd raise my hand and sometimes there'd be one or two people who'd tentatively raise their hand or zoom their hand up. I'd look at them and say, "Then I welcome you to do that." 

If they've paid to get in you make sure there's somebody available to give them their money back. No guilt games, just a cheerful return. Then after they've left or in some cases are unsure what to do, you say a few words to the effect of how it's important for you to be able to have a benevolent energy present and if people are nervous - that's okay. You understand. 

Nervousness, you might say, sometimes precedes a session because people don't know what's coming through or they're excited, etc. But if people have been brought there by a well meaning person who wants to show them that this is something good and they're uncomfortable or even upset or agitated that actually makes it more difficult and could be uncomfortable to you as the channel and possibly even to others. Thus it would be better for that person to be someplace else for everyone's sake. And of course we want to respect your feelings - to the person who's uncomfortable -  and we do not want people here who have been brought here against their will. 

It would be better if somebody else made this talk for you because you might be in an altered state but if there's not somebody who can do that then you might have to make that talk yourself. 

Now probably you will have felt something already. You may have already felt uncomfortable and that's why you might make a statement like that. 

In a separate situation there may be something in that place where you're going to channel that doesn't feel good so there's another thing that is good for you to be able to do. That thing is that it would be good for you to be familiar with the space where you're going to channel. 

Sometimes it could just simply be somebody's home where people are not always getting along well and the place doesn't feel comfortable to you. In that case, if you're not sure about the place where you're going to channel - perhaps you've never been there before - then this is what I recommend you do before you go to there. 

I recommend you do the following Living Prayer, "I am asking that the places where I channel always be safe and comfortable for me in the most benevolent way for me now." 

When I get to a place where I'm going to channel I walk around the room a bit (try not to touch or interact with other people while you're doing this) until I feel the most comfortable energy for me. That's where I sit if at all possible. Such a welcoming energy usually means that that's the best place for me to channel and that the channeling will be best for all concerned there if that's where I do it. 

So - this is what I recommend. Walk around the room and if you find a place that feels better then the other places ask that a chair be moved there that will be comfortable for you to sit to channel. Not a metal chair - most metal is basically uncomfortable with itself and while it can be transformed it would be best for you to be able to stay focused on why you came there - to channel. 

The way the environment feels is very important, especially if you are just getting started or have only been doing the work for a year or two, so don't be shy to state your needs. If you believe that the place where you are scheduled to channel is going to have uncomfortable energy give yourself permission to do the session someplace else. This is really important.

Goodlife

Private Sessions

This is something that you really need to build up to slowly. Be aware that when you're having practice sessions with your small group of people that are supporting you or interested in what you're doing or both, which is really important that they be both if possible, that they're going to want to ask personal questions at some point but don't encourage that and if you have somebody helping you, have them instruct the people to not ask personal questions if they have a chance to ask a question. 

At some point you're going to want to field questions when you're doing your practice channeling with your group but I don't recommend that you rush into this even though people in the group might want you to do so before you feel ready. 

Know that in your conscious mind as your day to day persona it's easy for you to field just about any question even if you just say, "I don't know anything about that" for many things that you won't know about. You won't feel too uncomfortable about that. As a matter of fact you probably won't feel anything at all. 

It's completely different when you're channeling. You have to remember that your motivation to channel is to bring through the greatest truths that you can bring through, with the greatest accuracy that you are able to provide, for any individual that you're working with or ultimately for the greatest number of people. 

Your channeling may not necessarily always be 100% accurate while you're working towards your accuracy goals but that's your goal - and really I don't recommend that you consider channeling for a private session until you're as close to sure as possible - meaning not only your opinion but the opinions of others whom you trust or feel good about - that you're 100% accurate. 

So lets get on here and cover your questions about accuracy later if you wish to ask them.

The questions you might field from your practice group initially - they'd have to be instructed to ask things that are basically very simple questions - the type of question you might get is something like, "What's the meaning of the Bermuda Triangle" or something like that.

Everybody and their brother gets asked that type of question all the time in the beginning and while you would probably be able to expound some kind of opinion just as yourself you have to remember that when you're channeling - you as yourself are not speaking. 

You might even have times when you're channeling a Being where a question is asked and your thought would be present in your mind with your response but much to your amazement the Being who's speaking through you doesn't say anything like what you're thinking and your thought just kind of disappears into the background. 

Remember, don't try and listen and follow along to the Being when you're channeling - that's the whole purpose of recording it. You'll be able to listen to the recording afterwards. It's really essential for practice especially - less so if you get further on down the line with your channeling but it's essential to be able to listen to a recording of your channeling soon after you do it, at least that's the optimum to be able to do. 

I know some of you won't be able to do that but if you can that's really a wonderful way because you will have the opportunity at times to hear things, from the Being who's speaking, that you know for a fact that you did not know, had never heard of and is completely new information to you and if it proves to feel right to people and very possibly is right - though don't try and prove whether it's true or not at least in those early stages of practice - then you're going to discover that you are on the right track to channel and your accuracy is coming along. 

More about private sessions: Private sessions are going to make you nervous especially in the beginning. When you build up to a private session you're going to find yourself in a position where you are literally very often channeling answers to people's questions that are deep and so personal that as your day to day personality you wouldn't want to even be asked a question like this much less have to respond and give an opinion about somebody else's life. 

People might ask questions about what happened to them in this or that circumstance or what it means or what might happen if… and so on - they're going to ask questions about the future and they're going to ask questions about the past. Sometimes they will they ask questions about the present and that won't always be too upsetting but generally speaking what they're going to be asking for almost all the time is either explanations of the past that they experienced personally or predictions for the present and future. 

This is going to make you nervous if you have the level of integrity that I hope you do have to do this work. Just know that it's important to start doing your private session work slowly and that's the most important. 

As always I'm rambling around here a bit as I promised you I would when I put these posts up but I'm putting things in here as I'm thinking of them and I'm really in a bit of an altered state of inspiration. That's why I'm rambling around so much :) 

In the group practice sessions, don't encourage people to ask, as I said, personal questions until you feel you're ready for it and then - say you've got 3 people in the practice session for example - then encourage them to ask something that's not really important to them so you can ease into personal questions. 

The reason I say that is that it can be very intimidating because you will be attempting to do something that the other people are not attempting to do. You are going to be, in those moments, totally focusing on remaining connected in the deep channeling state (also called deep trance channeling) and that takes a considerable amount of focus and attention. 

So there's that but all the training you've had your entire life as a conscious day to day being has been to pay attention when people talked to you so you can answer and not feel foolish by saying something that you didn't mean to say. 

So what you're doing runs against the grain of the training of your whole life. While you're focusing on maintaining that deep state so that you can allow as much of the personality as well as the wisdom of the Being speaking through you, your mind is going to be screaming that you have to pay attention to answer the question in a reasonably logical way. That's what you're going to be dealing with while the other people are simply having something that amounts to a conversation. So know that what's going on for you will not have anything to do with what's going on for the other people.

Now there's another factor with personal sessions - also known as private sessions - and that's that if you're channeling a Being where you're allowing - and have also built up over time and in stages your capacity to handle the energies - you're allowing their personality, their knowledge and wisdom and their energy to come through. Sometimes this energy will be strong and other times it will be less so. 

There'll be times in a personal session when the Being feels that words and their own persona are not sufficient to help the person that's being channeled to. At times like that you may feel a sudden wave of energy come through and there might be considerably long periods of time where there's just this powerful energy coming through you and what occurs in that situation is that the other person - especially if they're aware enough that they can feel this energy - they'll just stop talking. 

So there may be a long period of silence and at some point your mind might start worrying about what's going on. Don't though. As long as you feel the energy coming through and they're not talking - meaning the other person you're channeling to - just be quiet. Let the Being do through you what they can do. 

Very often it's this energy that really helps to bring about some benevolent transformation in the questioner. Frequently, you see, people who come to get a private session may not know the real question that they need to ask in the way they need to ask it. 

They have feelings, naturally, about what they want to talk about but they may not always be able to feel comfortable asking the deeper questions that they really want to ask about or they may not really remember or know what those issues are for them. 

So at some point, usually not immediately - usually later on in the session after it's been going for a while and the people have gotten in the rhythm of asking and listening then that wave of energy could happen if it's beneficial for the person at that point in their life. Don't try and make it happen. If it happens it happens. Just know that it's going to happen at some point in a session and maybe from time to time. 

There's another thing that could happen also. Sometimes during that strong wave of energy the Being who's speaking through you might be able to say a few words, though because of the strength of the energy it will be difficult, and when that takes place it's usually happening because they are trying to guide the questioner. 

Sometimes the questioner goes right on willy nilly talking and it's important for them to just relax and let the energy wash over them.

They may not be able to feel it. They may not be aware of it but at some point it will help them - and if it doesn't come at the time of the session it will come to them from somebody else perhaps by something they say or do but it may trigger this energy interaction they had with you with their physical body, with their soul, with their guides, their angels, everyone. It will just act like a battery backup and possibly trigger a situation or be triggered by a situation for them and bring about the inspiration that they needed to have come about in their life in the most benevolent way for them and very often in circumstances where they would appreciate having it. 

You'll probably never know about that but it'll occur and it might just do a great deal of good.

Remember, don't go into this work unless you want to do good - and to put that in the best word that I know of - to do that in a benevolent way. I love that word, benevolent, and that's why I use it often because when the Beings brought it up it made such sense. Look up that word and use its definitions that you feel good about as a model, as a goal and as an ideal for doing this work.

Goodlife

Beginning to Channel for Groups of People

Don't be shy about channeling a Being that you've heard channeled before. 

When you get started you're going to identify a form of channeling that you're striving for as something that you've heard from somebody else, very often. It won't be this way for all of you but it will be this way for some of you. 

Given that, it's perfectly alright to channel a Being somebody else is well-known for. I don't recommend that you do this publicly - meaning start off channeling such an entity for groups of people but if it's strictly a practice session and nobody's paying anything to get in there to hear you or you're just working with people that are helping you - that's alright but you must ask them, or have someone who's helping you ask them, to not criticize. 

Remember, people who attend your practice sessions - and I don't recommend you start having groups of people attend until you've practiced quite a bit first but that time will come when you do that - that those people need to be people who are supporting you. 

They don't have to hang on your every word and tell you how wonderful you are but it would be better if they don't criticize especially right after you've come out of the altered state you're in, in order to channel at this deeper level, and may be very open and potentially vulnerable especially at this early stage of your work. Their job is really to consider what they've heard and think about it. 

Also be sure to instruct the people attending, or ask the person who's assisting you to announce that, to be quiet when you come out of your altered state. That will be more gentle for you. Remember, it is alright to request what you need. 

I feel generally when working in front of groups of people that it's better to have somebody else do these announcements since you may already be, at least partially, in your altered state. Be aware that that state might linger on for you for up to an hour or two after the session is over even though it will be gradually fading so be gentle with yourself and encourage others to be gentle towards you as well or ask your assistant to quietly remind people of that after the session is over.

So you might start also, when you're practicing, channeling various Beings that you've heard of or even Beings that you're not quite sure are real and might actually be fictional - but you don't know that - and it's not really that critical because the purpose of the practice is to learn the fundamentals of channeling as an applied experience at this level - meaning at this point, interacting with the public. Questions might be asked you understand. 

Really though I'd recommend the Being to start out channeling with to be somebody that you're pretty sure that you identify as being spiritual or that you feel good about or both would be best. 

The advantage of channeling - say an old tree is that it does have some basic similarities to who and what we are. It's supported by something external - meaning water and soil, nutrients and so on and it's nurtured by the environment and in short - it has a life cycle. 

Channeling - say a big rock even if you love it, or even a small rock even if you feel really good about it is physically channeling Mother Earth and even though there might be a great many variations of what you might hear in terms of what Mother Earth say, could offer still it's very deep energy and in some cases especially if the rock you're channeling has experienced, as that portion of Mother Earth, something old and perhaps not comfortable you could temporarily take that on and not feel well for a while in which case you could benefit from Clearing*. 

This is something that can be done - say channeling minerals - at some point when you're well on down the road - meaning considerably more experienced - and could possibly even radiate energies at that more advanced point in your experience from - say an amethyst crystal, if it felt good to you to channel that crystal, you are channeling to the benefit of all those present. 

Know also that you will be nervous when you start doing private sessions but more about that next time.

Goodlife

--------------------------------------------------------------

*Sit down someplace quietly - meaning in a quiet environment or lie down. It would probably be best on your back but if you are unable to do that lie down in the way that is best for you. If you lie down don't cross your arms or legs and try to have as little metal on you as possible but you'll possibly have some and don't worry about that.

Then relax a bit and say the following, "I am asking that Gold Light Beings and Light Beings who are compatible with the gold light or compatible with Gold Light Beings or both come now and clear me of any energies or entities or any other that is harming me or harmful to me." Then just relax.

Try not to think. Many of you will feel something. Perhaps you'll feel a warmth. Perhaps you'll feel a relaxed feeling, a sense of energy - a benevolent feeling you see. And just make every effort to not think but if you begin thinking just stop. Don't give yourself a hard time about it. Just stop.

It isn't necessary to visualize white light but if that's what you do that's fine. If you visualize gold light that's also fine but I don't recommend visualizing any other kind of light nor do I necessarily recommend that it's necessary to visualize at all. Just don't think. If it's easier for you to visualize white or gold light that's fine. Just wait and they will clear you out. These beings are very benevolent beings of light and they will help.

Stretching As A Channel

Again I am sharing my experience as a Professional Trance Channel here for those of you who are studying to be Channels yourself or even for those of you who have been doing it for a while. I'm posting this video on my Channeling Guidance for the Channeling Student blog and that's really who it's meant for but I welcome anybody who is curious about channeling to watch this and understand more about my process if you like.

In this video you will find out how to expand your potential as a Channel and even possibly understand more about your capabilities as you try on different things to become more as your channeling practice, both privately and publicly, grows.

Being Stepped Up

In this video I explain some of the things I did in the beginning when I was learning how to channel and when I was learning how to bring through as much benevolent energy as I could radiate for the betterment of all beings.

Getting Tired After or During Your Sessions?

I want to talk to you a little bit today about getting tired after you do a session. This is something that will happen for some of you doing private sessions for people. Sometimes also people will say - well, I thought you weren't supposed to get tired - and give you all kinds of stories they believe or they may have heard about how you should do this or how you should do that and so on but in reality this is why you get tired.

Alright, if you're doing a private session for someone and you're channeling a being you've been channeling for a while and you don't normally get tired unless you've been channeling for hours or something like that but you're tired after the session - it is entirely because of the resistance. 

People will ask questions but sometimes they'll be afraid of the answers even before you've begun to channel anything or perhaps when you've just begun. Even so, the being speaks through you because they have love for the person that's asking the question and of course they have love for you as well but it tires you out physically because of the questioners resistance. So just know that that is the reason.

You don't have to mention their resistance to the people even if they say something to you about your being tired as I mentioned above because it takes a certain amount of courage for a person to come to you to get a private session even though sometimes they're afraid of what you might say because they might be asking questions about things that they're seriously concerned about.

So, don't be shy to mention that you need to rest a bit if you happen to get tired but if you do get tired make sure that you will have time to lie down. So don't make it a habit to book sessions one right after the other. This is a very speedy way to get exhausted and burn yourself out before your time.

So this is what I recommend even if you've been doing this for a while. Make sure that there's at least a half an hour, unless you're getting a little bit older like me :) or if you have other concerns about your health or well-being then it could be longer if you feel a need for it, between private sessions or between private and public sessions because you never know how resistant someone's going to be even in a public session where there may be many people present and if you don't have time to recover between those sessions - well, the whole process will get old before it's time. 

Okay. Goodlife.

Practice and Training Advice

Remember, anytime you have a question either write it down immediately or if you're on your own and you can practice your channeling that's an excellent time to immediately respond to that question. 

Make a connection with whomever you have the greatest confidence in of the beings that you're channeling regardless of their names, as long as you feel good about them. Then respond in the moment when you have that question. 

Remember, you're practicing it first and it doesn't matter whether you've read or heard about or even sense that others have responded to this question. Such as, "What is the meaning of life" and where is this or who is that really - things like that and a great many myriads and myriads of other questions because in the moment of asking or thinking that question there will always be a surge of inspiration that follows it. 

Keep in mind that in the beginning many of your questions will be about personal things. After all, one of the driving forces in our lives is to try and understand our own lives and the conditions in which we live. So, even though many of those questions you'll have and channel on in the beginning and even through the middle time of practice will not be accurate - alright. Many times because you have strong feelings about it or even because you have raging doubts about it they'll be a tendency to be expressing unconsciously your personal opinion without that much inspiration from the being you're channeling. 

Don't let this worry you. Don't overly criticize yourself for it. Just listen every time you do some channeling - listen back to it. Sometimes you'll hear bits and pieces that you know you don't know or didn't know. You'll have a feeling that this is a wonderful piece of inspiration. Sometimes you'll hear something that'll make you wince because you'll recognize an argument you've performed before and even though it might be coming forth in a more eloquent manner you recognize that this is still a biased comment on your part masked in the veil of channeling. So, as I say, don't be overly critical of what you receive in your practice to channel but do channel. 

There is not too much I can say about the value of questions. They are very important. Many of us have been trained to not ask questions but this is different. You are looking for and desiring to have a form of inspiration that goes beyond the mundane and can reach great heights and even spread in all directions and cultivate areas of wisdom that you did not even consider to have existed. In this way you can bring forth in time great value to people but in the beginning you must simply allow yourself to speak without restricting what comes forth. 

Always try to record this. So get yourself a little recorder. It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be reliable. It doesn't have to be something that achieves all the nuances of your voice. You just have to be able to understand it so you can at least listen back to it and I would recommend transcribing it either by hand or on your computer or whatever other means you have to make some kind of a document of it so that you can read it. It may not be as uplifting or inspiring as you hoped that it would be but it may in time. Just keep at it and you might find that it's worth doing. 

Remember, this is a lifelong goal to channel clearly and provide the most benevolent and worthwhile inspiration to others. Don't be attached to doing it every time but many times that is enough of a desire. 

Also, especially in the beginning and during the time of your training and practice let go of your need to be as good as whoever you're comparing yourself to. Just know that practice and training is meant for that and not meant for the final results. The final results will always come with the feelings of inspiration physically and will be delivered in such a way as you will know - you weren't really thinking that but it feels good to you. 

In time I will say more about these things but I want to leave these messages, these notes, these reminders to you not only as a record of my having passed this way but more importantly as a support to you. 

Goodlife.
