WHAT
IS CHANNELING?
A
channeler (formerly called a medium) is a psychic or
sensitive who is able to make contact with someone in the
spirit world and is mentally open to receive
communication from that spirit.
Channelers may be completely conscious, partly
conscious or in some type of trance during this process. If the
psychic is in trance, his/her body can be taken over, or controlled by a
spirit entity or entities who may physically speak through the psychic's
voice box. The information, then, is "channeled" from the spirit
source to the questioner with the psychic acting as a conduit. Some
channelers allow their bodies to be fully used, and the spirit may have
the body move about, touching people in the room. Other channelers
choose to sit in one place throughout the session.
Conditions during the channeling sessions also vary, depending on the individuals
involved. Some channelers keep their eyes closed, others
leave them open. Some like the lights dimmed or prefer a quiet
setting. Still others have no specific requirements other than
to share their spirit friend(s) with the audience and can do so in
party atmospheres as well.
Channeled information through Automatic
Writing is yet another method of bringing information
across.
The
quality of every channeled message often depends on the
personality, temperament, and intelligence of the psychic
as well as who comes through and what information they
may wish to impart to their audience. There is an
understanding between the psychic and those he/she may
bring forth as to what kind of information will be given.
During Fran's channeling experience, she sits in one
place, and is not disturbed by her surroundings. She
has some control of what may or may not be shared.
For example, she has asked "Ephraim" not to
give potentially negative information to questioners unless
it will be helpful. Her counseling sessions are
always to the point and thorough with a goal to uplift
and enlighten. Gloom and Doom issues help no one
and are rarely addressed.
