Uncomplicating Your Life

Make sure that all the devices you keep to record what you are speaking as a Channel are simple and uncomplicated. It does not matter what you are normally able to do while you're in your conscious mind doing your workaday everyday things or doing your job or your profession - whatever it is that you do for work or your family activities and so on. 

You may be able to do many things, to multitask as it is said, or to do things that are precise and require your full attention but when you are channeling or practicing your channeling you will be focused on one thing only regardless of what is coming out of your mouth as words or even in your body as motions or passing though you, an energy, this is possible and more. You will be focused on one thing and that is allowing yourself to be inspired and allowing those words to pass through you and those energies to pass through you for the greatest good of all beings, including yourself - don't forget that one. 

Keep your recorder and other instruments you may use to transcribe the material that comes through as simple and uncomplicated as possible. 

"Why," you might ask. "I can handle all kinds of technical things," you might say. Sure, and I'm not doubting that. However, in the moment of inspiration and when you're focused on the one thing of allowing yourself to say these words, to make these motions, to have this energy flow through you - this energy of inspiration and possibly a Being that has wisdom, knowledge and love then it is important to uncomplicate your life. 

This is why you will not be able to do that which you normally do on a day to day or even moment to moment basis. You will find that even your words that come through you will - in the beginning and during much of your practice time before you are putting these things out in public - will not be the same type of vocabulary you normally have. 

It will be simplified. You might speak very slowly, you might even at times speak very quickly and the motor skills - as it is called - how you function physically will change. You will most definitely not be able to do things that require multiple steps like you might find with say - a handheld digital recorder before channeling, during channeling and possibly even for a while afterwards.

This is why. When you are focused on that one thing it tends to be somewhat exclusionary of other things. That's why in the beginning it might be good at some point to have someone ask questions if there is more than one question during a session so you don't have to stop and think. And that stopping and thinking has everything to do with why you keep your instruments that you use: your recorder, your pencil, your pen, your paper as simple and uncomplicated as possible because if you don't, you will have to stop and think and that could well take you out of your focus and even interrupt the flow of the energy. 

Many of you who multitask now are not aware of the thought or the steps you take to do more than one thing at once but when you learn to channel and come through clearly for the good of all beings you will need to keep it simple. Always remember that. 

Keeping it simple has everything to do with being able to allow the most benevolent beings to speak through you in ways that will inspire you and others and with energies that may well activate you and others to greater and greater benevolence. 

Goodlife.

What To Do In The Case Of "Psychic Attack"

Now there may be times when you will experience something that has sometimes been referred to as Psychic Attack. The symptoms might be that your hands might shake, that even your teeth might chatter and yet it's not cold nor will it feel cold though you might have a sense of a coldness present.

This is what's going on. This is only in extremely rare cases some kind of spirit phenomena. Vastly more often you will be dealing with hate and anger projected or left, most likely unintentionally in the case of left, by human beings.

Perhaps there was some violent outburst in the space you find yourself in but in the case of Channels you see, where you are either reaching out to receive information or you are expanding yourself and thus becoming a bit more vulnerable which is a factor built in for channeling because reception is reception, then you might pick up on that at some point.

If and when that happens, and it probably won't happen for most of you, immediately break the contact whatever you are doing even if you are channeling something benevolent and loving. It means that something else has been touched either by you unintentionally or something has strayed into your energy field. If that happens you must break the contact, as I say even if you are channeling someone benevolent - even if it is someone you have channeled before. Don't assume it's from them. Most likely it's not though it's not impossible.

So, after you break the contact immediately request clearing using clearing processes that I will simplify here for you. If you can, be sitting down or laying down - whatever position you were in when you were channeling or doing your channeling practice.

After you calm down a bit and can speak - but if it is too strong immediately say as best you can, "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 other harmful influences that are causing this great discomfort I know as psychic attack…" (pause after saying psychic attack) "…and to do so now for me in the most benevolent way."

Then lie back and wait until that happens or relax in the chair. If you can think as little as possible or hold an image of white light or gold light, either one, whichever is more comfortable and easily done for you. If you find yourself thinking, don't give yourself a hard time, just stop and try to do that imaging with the light. It will help in the process of clearing.

I'll say more about these things in time but I just wanted to bring that up today because someone has asked this question and I felt it was relevant and important. The chances of this happening to you are extremely remote but if it does happen you will have this knowledge to know what I recommend that you do.

Goodlife.

Some Aspects About Sensitivity As A Channel

Now there's something else you need to know and that's that it's in the nature of the work of Deep Trance Channeling and the extreme focus in concentration you have to have to maintain your self to be open to such deep profound wisdom - albeit that it comes in a loving energy and that's something personal for you - over time you may find that you become very sensitive to other input - meaning you might become more aware of light phenomena around you, such as seeing Light Beings or other such loving entities but this also suggests something else doesn't it? And that's that you will simply become more sensitive and this might effect other aspects of your life.

It may be that you will begin to perceive things that are there - meaning other forms of life and so on. It won't be anything frightening because the more you get involved with spiritual work like this the more you will become at ease with such things.

There's one thing else that needs to be said and that's because it could effect your social life - not necessarily in a bad way but it could come up and that's that you will probably become sensitive across the board, meaning in every aspect of your life. In some cases this could improve the quality of your life but in other cases people might find you at times to be nervous, high strung or edgy.

If you notice that people find you to be that way or if you get that feeling or if you start apologizing for yourself more than you ever have before then you'll know it's time to move apart from folks for a while - meaning give yourself 2 or 3 days* to just rest, relax, don't work. If you have books you like to read that's a good time to do that but don't read anything too dramatic** or so intellectually stimulating that you become overwhelmed with thoughts. It's a time to relax your mind as well as your feeling self. I'll say more about that in time.

Goodlife.

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

*For some people, besides being apart from people and resting for 2 or 3 days, the ideal might be for a week.

**Also when you're resting during that week or 2 or 3 days don't watch anything on television that's too exciting - and as a general rule of thumb begin to ease yourself away from any entertainments, meaning that which you might read in fiction or watch in TV or go to the movies or see in the theatre, that are violent or even that have aspects of violence associated with the story line. You can read things that are mildly suggestive of violence but not anything graphic or anything like that. It may not have bothered you in the past but it will bother you once you become more sensitive this way.

The Way I Look as I Begin to Channel

Greetings, I'd like to direct your attention towards my post called Growth in Dreams on my Explorer Race blog.

Right around the midway point or just slightly beyond, of that video I go into channeling and you'll see me go through some stages on the video and then towards the end of the video you'll see me come out of it.

I'm mentioning this to you even though I had the video up here on Channeling Guidance, I decided that it would be best to just refer you to the Explorer Race blog for those of you who are interested in seeing the transformative process I go through to achieve the deep trance channeling state*.

Also I have material to post to this blog but haven't had a chance to do it and will try to do that soon. Thank you for your interest and your patience and I might add that patience however challenging it may be is part and parcel of learning how to channel and experiencing the process. I'll say more about that soon.

Goodlife.

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

*It was very much different when I first started out. The process took several minutes and looked quite a bit different but now after all these years it has become very much what you see in the video.

Approaching This Work

One of the things you will notice with this work is that it requires not only dedication to accomplish it with all of its details but that it provides an avenue to learn many things beyond which channeling itself can accomplish.

You may be able to get in touch, through channeling, with great and wonderful teachers who will offer you much more than you could have ever imagined - I certainly have.

I will say that it does require dedication to learn it and by learning it I mean learning it well so that you can go as deep as possible and handle as much energy as you possibly can, because not only are the words affective but it is ultimately the energy that transforms.

Sometimes it will be energy through yourself, other times it will be energy that is simply arriving during the event of your channeling and will in the most benevolent way - especially when you request that to be so* effectively serve the needs of the people who are present to stimulate their own spiritual growth along their lines as their souls have chosen to produce, the most benevolent outcome for all who are present.

Other times you will be doing perhaps Living Prayer or Benevolent Magic or even True Magic or more for people that you do not know, who are not present and that you probably will never meet in this life - but you can do the most amazing things if you stay with this work and learn.

It does require dedication. I am not demanding this of you, I'm simply saying that this work can be a pathway to achieve great wisdom - yes - but also and most importantly to pass on this wisdom to others - and wisdom as you know is slightly different than knowledge.

Knowledge is interesting, it is often helpful and more. Wisdom however is the knowledge we apply in our lives because it works. Needless to say wisdom will be different from person to person but that's the beauty of this work. It is flexible. It is not demanding. It is an offering. It will be offered to you and you can offer it to others as you see fit.

It does require dedication. For me I am dedicated to improving the lives of as many people and beings, meaning animals and perhaps plants and others, in the most benevolent way I can. For you dedication might be different. Either way, I wish you on your path whether you join this path or another the most benevolent outcome and … goodlife.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I do recommend that you establish a blessing, that you request out loud or if you prefer quietly - meaning whispering it also out loud but not only thinking it, that sets the tone of what you desire to produce before each session that you channel.

I recommend that you do this before any session that you channel when you're just beginning (over the years as you work with Beings that you come to trust because of their clarity, truth and inevitably the results of what they have to say as well as the outcome in your life experience you will at times - especially when channeling for yourself simply go ahead with the channeling because of that earned trust) but by the time you've gotten to the point where you're doing public sessions I do recommend that before a public session.

This works not only to support your intentions - meaning you might say something like - I am asking that whatever knowledge and wisdom comes through me at this time for this gathering that it pass through me in the most benevolent way and provide the most insightful, deep and profound wisdom for all those here so that they may take it in, as they choose, benevolently for themselves - but also because the people who are present will be reassured by your making such a statement.

For many of them it will be almost like coming to a special gathering or even something that, while not being church-like or religious has a distinct spiritual tone. Therefore such a blessing or even as someone could say, such a prayer before an event like this can be reassuring to those who are attending your channeling.

Various Thoughts - Bits and Pieces of Advice

Integrity, kindness and respect. Three words that make good goals to live up to. I try to live up to them. Don't get down on yourself if you don't always achieve them.

-----------------------------------------------------
Once you begin to channel and practice channeling seriously, I recommend that to be the time that you stop reading other peoples channeling. It's important to give yourself a chance without comparing what you're doing to someone else - especially someone who may be further on down the road than you are. Inspiration is not a competition. Always remember that.

-------------------------------------
Someday when you get good at this you'll probably begin channeling for others. In a private session - meaning you channeling and one or maybe two people there asking questions about their own lives and/or interests, make sure that they or you are taping the session for them.

When the session is over give them the tape or whatever you're using to record. Do not keep a copy yourself. This makes it a private session and serves your integrity as well as their privacy.

Also make it a goal to forget what you channeled in a private session. Some of you won't be able to remember anyway so that won' t be an issue. However others will have some or even more of a memory especially if you're not channeling at a deep level yet. Make an effort to forget.

You know how it is when you wake up from a dream. Strive for that experience so the people who come to you for these sessions will have their privacy.

-------------------------------------
Channel regularly for yourself and always record these sessions. In the beginning it won't be very accurate. It's good to record it though and listen to it as soon as possible after you stop. After a while it will get better and better and having the habit of listening to the sessions will allow you to notice that.

-------------------------------------
Don't rush yourself thinking that you only have this or that amount of time to be completely accurate. It'll take as long as it takes. Even years. It took me years to get to that place. That's why it's important to be doing other things with your life so you don't dwell on it so much that your goal overwhelms you and your desire to achieve in channeling becomes distorted in a blur of urgency. Take your time and enjoy the process as much as you can.

---------------------------------------
Especially if you're Deep Trance Channeling, as it's called - which means that a great deal of energy comes through you and is often felt by others who may be present, remember to drink plenty of water before and during the channeling session.

Instruct the Beings whom you channel to support you and your body. Just talk out loud when you're alone at some point and say something like this, "I am asking that all the Beings whom I channel take good care of my body when their personalities and energy are present within me and drink water to keep me refreshed and do other things that I may need so I will have confidence that I can channel in public and feel safe."

For example, especially in the beginning of your channeling experience, some of you might find that your nose will run or you may sneeze. Don't let this frighten you. Some people are affected in this way. It's entirely associated with getting used to the energy. That affect may last for a while and then it will gradually fade. Be sure that you have tissues nearby within your easy reach while you are channeling so the Beings can reach them if needed to take care of your body.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure and instruct all those who come to hear you channel to stay at least 6 feet away from you while you are channeling and even when you have finished the session to not touch you until you tell them it is okay to do so. It can effect the energy and if you are taking a break, for example in a long session, to especially not touch you. You may need to take a break to go to the bathroom. All that water may have to be released though you may be surprised how you may not notice that during the session the way you usually do.

The reason you need to drink all that water to begin with is that it helps to make it easier to bring in the energy and personality of the Beings you are channeling. Over time you may find that the energy gets stronger as you get more comfortable channeling a specific Being or in some cases if there are individuals present who need the energy to help them spiritually to move along their path the energy may become stronger to accomplish that support.

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

Did I mention that Deep Trance Channeling will tire you out? You need to get a lot of rest.

You need to get your sleep and eat the foods that feel good to you. You may need to change what you eat in order to keep up your energy for this work.

Beef, or elk if you can get it, will give you strength. Pay attention to what digests well in your body. This could change with the work you'll be doing.

-------------------------------------------------------
You may find also that you'll work with people, not channeling necessarily or maybe doing that at a very light state of inspiration, who may not be aware that you're working with them. I'm not saying you should do this. I'm not saying don't do this. I'm simply acknowledging that the reason you're even interested in channeling or serving in a fashion like this may prompt you at times to give generously of yourself, your knowledge and your inspiration. Always try do this in the most benevolent way and don't get caught up in any competitive feeling even to achieve something worthwhile.

If you're offering some advice in a moment like that and someone or something interrupts you once or especially twice I usually stop what I am saying because that can often be a sign that what I am offering may not be welcome at that time.

Leave it, let go and relax. Perhaps somebody else will offer that advice or something like it as that person continues on the road of their life, acquires experience and becomes more receptive to such advice.

If you hear that someone offered that advice to them never say that you tried to offer that advice before. Just smile to yourself and know that they heard what they needed to hear when they were ready to hear it.

-----------------------------------------
Conscious Channeling, meaning in a very light state, will not drain your energy very much however in that state you probably will not be able to achieve the deep and profound material and even material that is on the cutting edge - meaning something entirely new.

This is not to say that Conscious Channeling is not good. It is just in a lighter state and may be very effective in some situations.

-------------------------------------------
You have to allow whoever you are channeling to speak according to their own personality. Be clear on the difference between your own personality and the Beings that you channel.

When people come to you to hear what you have to channel for them - remember - they are there to talk to the Beings. If they want your advice afterwards they'll ask for it. Don't volunteer your personal advice unless you are absolutely positively certain that they just asked you for your opinion.

You'll probably be tired and maybe kind of out of it after a session anyway so don't feel obligated to provide your opinion or even socialize at that time. You may have to rest especially if you are channeling at a deep level. Don't feel obligated to hang around and entertain folks. They'll understand. Go into another room by yourself or with a trusted friend or companion who will be quiet and allow you your space to slowly ease back into your normal grounded personality. I always did this on my own. You'll choose how you wish to do it when the times right for you.

--------------------------------------
It's fine to socialize after you have rested after a channeling session. Some of you however will need to eat - especially protein - almost immediately (no more than 15 minutes) after you have completed channeling. Make sure that's either available or within a very short drive away.

I strongly recommend that someone else drive if you go to a restaurant afterwards especially if you are channeling at a deep level. You'll have all you can do to reorient yourself to your day to day world, become more grounded you understand, without having to pay attention to the road and driving carefully. If someone to drive you is not available then eat some protein and wait at least 20 minutes after that to drive away, assuming you're not at home.

-----------------------------------------
A little more on the Beings that channel through you: Again you'll have to allow them to say what they're going to say. You may even at moments have your own opinion to whatever is asked, however the Beings that you are channeling do not say your opinion. They say what they believe. At times like this, even if what is said you may personally disagree with, you must allow these Beings to speak.

By this time, when you are doing private sessions for people or public sessions for larger groups, you will have become clear on the quality of what the Beings have to say through you. Don't second guess them. Let them speak. Sometimes they may say things that may not be in your favor or perhaps say something in a way that you as your own personality would disagree with. At times like that or even after the session if you have a lingering recollection of what was said remember this - you cannot be attached to the outcome in all ways in channeling. Always remember that.

Goodlife.

Changes In How I Post

For a long time now I've been sharing the wisdom I have with you in print here on these blogs and even stories on the stories blog but now I find as I get older I'm going to have to do this in a way that's easier for me and doesn't tire me out quite so much eh :-) so I'm going to shift over completely to video which I've been planing for a long time.

You'll still see video on Explorer Race as you have been so that won't change very much and you'll still see that also on my You Tube BenevolentMagic site so that won't change either but as far as all the transcribed material, that which I have written and posted through the usual process but instead of thinking and typing I've recorded it and transcribed it and posted just in case you're interested, that's all got to stop now because it's too much for one person to do.

Anyway I'm just letting you know. Feel free to consult with these blogs. I may still post, from time to time a video on these blogs here or there so you can watch for that but I'm afraid you're going to have to say goodbye to the print version. Maybe you won't miss it that much.

When I put up video these days it will mostly be Grandfather channeling through me but who knows...maybe there will be other things too.

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed interacting with all of you and it's not totally goodbye but it will be different. So, just to let you know. I love you all. Goodnight and goodlife.
