A moving and powerful experience can be had with practice.You can learn to limit the scope of your investigation, achieve a trance-like state, and locate a guide to aid you in your journey if you want to deepen your insight into your own nature.You can see Step 1 for more information.
Step 1: Decide if you want to explore your consciousness or be with the spirit world.
The word "channeling" is used in different ways.Some channelers try to contact others or themselves to learn more about themselves.Depending on your interests and goals, this decision can lead you into very different traditions, rituals, and practices, though most types involve a similar process, first inducing of a trance-like state and then communicating with some "other."The goal is to communicate with spirits.It is common for practitioners to make contact with dead relatives or famous historical figures.In the 19th century, crystal balls and Ouija boards were very popular in intellectual occult circles.Despite being dismissed by scientific skeptics as an orchestrated con against the often-wealthy participants, spirit channel has historical roots that extend far beyond the Victorian stereotypes.is a new phenomenon.In some New Age philosophy, practitioners will attempt to visualize their own "past life" figures, as well as symbolic representations of psychological trauma.The figure will often guide the participant through different interactions and communications with the aim of healing the spirit and learning about the self.
Step 2: Don't be afraid to wrestle with strange phenomena.
Whether you want to find comfort and understanding by consulting an oracle, or you seek a deepened understanding of life and death, it's important to articulate your goals and be realistic about them.It's important to commit to a mysterious way of interpreting the messages you receive if you're going to embark on a channel journey.The more you get out of the experience, the better you are at receiving them..Anyone who has ever tried to learn about tarot or cracked open an i ching knows that the process can be difficult.Sometimes it doesn't work like a movie, where a candle flickers and you hear someone's voice.Accept that you might not get the answer you're looking for if you have a specific inquiry in mind..If you want to get out a Ouija board and ask a ghost what farts smell like, then you should spend more time doing constructive things.Channeling only works if the participant is fully committed and open to the possibility of learning something about themselves and consciousness that might be hard to believe or comprehend..Because the process often involves the interpretation of symbols, it's important to do a little research to get more out of the experience.The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell is an excellent primer to the ideas and images you'll need to be familiar with.The Changing Light at Sandover is a modern verse epic by James Merrill.
Step 3: Ask a specific question.
All methods require you to have a specific inquiry in mind for your spirit guide or your own subconscious.It is unlikely that any spirit guides will come forth to answer a question that is not serious, dishonest, or trivial, so give some thought to an appropriate question..Does Bill dislike me when I show up late for work?It's probably better saved for a Magic 8-ball."How can I be a better person in my work?" is a question you want your query to be broad enough to allow for.Is it like that?.If you're worried about your work persona, ask more questions so you can find answers.Who am I when I work?What does my work mean to me?What should I do with my work?What is a job?Around your initial one, these may be applicable questions.You should look for the answers to the questions you didn't ask.
Step 4: Keep a dream journal.
It is more and more difficult to distinguish between the dream state and the waking life as you embark on a journey into your mind.You will be surrounded by symbols at times.This is a good thing.You can make a dream journal or a channel journal an excellent resource for your investigation if you are prepared to capture them.There is a small composition book next to your bed.When you wake up from a dream.Immediately, write down everything you remember from it.What did you see?What did you think?Who was there?You can use this kind of interpretation and attention to detail in your experiments.
Step 5: Take a deep breath and focus on your breathing.
You will feel comfortable and calm in a quiet, meditative location.You can sit on the floor or in a chair with your back straight.Go with natural lighting and silence.A blank wall or a calm spot would do nicely.If you want to achieve trance and return to normal consciousness, you need to articulate your intentions.I will achieve a deeper and deeper state with practice.You don't need to prostrate yourself in front of a goat skull or sit in the lotus position at midnight to channel it.Focus on your comfort and not on details from the movies.
Step 6: The focus should be on your breathing.
Take a deep breath and sit quietly.Your breath goes into and out of your body.You can feel the air going into your lungs, filling you with oxygen and going out into the world.Take a deep breath and exhale.Take a few minutes to breathe.Don't let thoughts come and go.The focus should be on breathing.
Step 7: Your body's rhythms can be slowed by using the power of suggestion.
Start with a specific part of your body, like your left hand.Feel the air coming into your body as you breathe.If you want to relax your left hand, move your consciousness into it.Say, "My left hand is relaxed."In the same fashion, your right hand, right arm, and legs.Take 60 seconds to focus on each part of your body and relax.Wait until you can feel that part of your body relax..You want to introduce a feeling of being buried in sand or covered in blankets after you've relaxed your body.Establish a consciousness connection with your left hand, focusing your energy into it fully.It should be relaxed.Say, "My left hand is heavy."Take 60 seconds to focus on each part of your body..Move around your body by saying, "My left hand is warm."As if you were in a warm bath, place a heating pad on each part of your body, and focus your energy on achieving a state of warmth.You should not feel sleepy, but your body should feel extreme comfort.
Step 8: Slowly end each meditation.
When you return to normal consciousness, wiggling your fingers and toes will return you to a more normal state.Look around the room and let your mind return to its normal way of thinking, as your body gradually cools down.Stand up and walk around.If you've been sitting long enough, you might have sleepy limbs, which could cause an ankle injury.It was bad juju for meditation.
Step 9: You can deepen your trance by practicing.
Blurring the lines between your body, consciousness, and the world around you is the goal of the trance.The next step is to achieve the trance slowly and focus on calming your body.Before attempting to deepen your trance or channel, you should practice introducing your body to the trance-like state for many days.If you want to achieve results, you must commit to this process.You might notice that the previous steps become easier as you progress.If you focus on warming up your left hand, you may be able to warm up both arms at the same time.It's a good sign that you're training your mind and body to achieve a faster state of consciousness.Feel your forehead grow cool when you think you're ready to move on to a deeper state of consciousness.The "third eye" on the forehead is a sign of your connection to the unseen.Say "My forehead feels cool" to isolated part of your body.
Step 10: Take a test of your consciousness.
If you want to start seeing results and get some sense of how strong your connection with the world of the unseen has become, try an experiment: select a very specific time that you'd like to wake up, and plant the seed of that time into your mind at the end of yourSay, "I will rise tomorrow at 6:00" after cooling your third eye.Try to sleep as normal and don't set an alarm.
Step 11: Practice visualization.
You should start to feel more comfortable moving into and out of that state after a lot of practice.If you've grown strong, it's time to explore more.This is the beginning of something.Before you can transmit something to someone, you need to work on visualization and finding a deeper level of consciousness.Look at objects and colors.Allow your subconscious to suggest a color after you've cooled your third eye.Say, "I see blue," and repeat it until you see it in your mind.Continue practicing until you can see what your mind tells you, but at first you may see amish colors.It is possible to give a color to an object, like a pen or a car.There is a blue pen.Don't forget to watch it.If you feel the weight in your hand, try to use it.Take some time to see many colors and objects.
Step 12: Think of yourself falling deeper.
Mediums and channelers use a variety of exercises to allow the subconscious to take over.It's an important way to get more in touch with the world of the unseen, and can be quite exhilarating when you come out of your trance state..Climb a ladder in darkness.Your body should be warm.Let go of the ladder after you climb it for a while.It feels like you are falling away.If you become dizzy or confused, remember to focus on your body consciousness..An elevator that's traveling down the wall of an endless rock face can be visualized by some practitioners.Imagine an elevator with a glass door that allows you to see out, but on one side there is a rocky cliff with crags and tiny imperfections.Continue traveling down ever farther if you visualize them as closely as possible..Do what feels comfortable for you, there's no right way to visualize.Some channelers like to think of themselves as falling feathers, a ring of smoke, or climbing down a rope.
Step 13: You should stop controlling your visualization.
You may find that you have more difficulty controlling your visualization as you progress in your meditation because you don't have the ability to stop them.Let this happen.This is a sign that you have found a guide for your investigations.This is not normal.If you want to refer to this as going clear or entering the spirit world, you're right.You don't have to put a name on it, but you can call it what you want.
Step 14: Look at a location.
After you've fallen from the ladder of yourself or descended deeper into your consciousness, settle yourself in a comfortable location.Take the time to explore it.In this dream, see as many of the details as possible.Focus your energy on being in that space.In some New Age traditions, it's suggested that you fill your location with all manner of crystals and golden cushions, while other traditions suggest you imagine a mossy wood straight out of The Lord of the Rings.Go for it.There is no right place.
Step 15: People are allowed to come into the location.
Look at a person's behavior as they come into your place.They should be allowed to observe their behavior.If your subconscious suggests people that you don't know, remember their faces and movements and be especially conscious of them.When you can start interacting with people you don't know, you know you're on the right path.Pay close attention to movements that people make and things they say.When you emerge from your mind.Things that may not make sense in the moment will need analysis and consideration later.That's what it is.Again, if you want to think of these figures as "dimensional Archetypes" or "Angels", that's fine.Pick the symbolic representation that makes the most sense to you, and listen to what the figures have to say for themselves.It's not a matter of right or wrong when you're dealing with the unseen.
Step 16: A figure is willing to speak with you.
You may be able to see the figures in your approach.It could happen right away or it could take a long time.They can approach you and interact with you.Speak to them..Tell the figure what you're looking for.If the figure is willing to guide you in your investigation, ask.Ask the figure to leave if they can't..Allow them to show you what they want you to see, or ask them the question that you've been meditating on.Discuss how you'll communicate.The guide should guide you.The guide should be in charge of showing you what you want to learn.
Step 17: To interpret symbols and Archetypes, look for them.
It's your job to pay attention to what you're seeing, because your questions may already be answered.The more time you spend studying symbols of the occult and learning about representation, the more significant your observations and communications will become.It might be mostly visual.If your location is suddenly filled with scuttling lobsters and lions with their heads on backward, unbidden, you may come out of your reverie and think, "Woah, trippy!"Don't let it go just there.There are lobsters and a lion on the Tarot card for the Moon, signifying lunar energy and the subconscious.Significant?You can.
Step 18: The ouija board can be used.
If you've found a guide to the spirit world or the center of your own consciousness after deep meditation and practice, you may want to find more direct and simple methods of communicating with that world, without meditating for hours or end and seeking them.Communication can be done with the Ouija.This is a great way to introduce other parties to your guide and allow a mutual discourse to take place.Allow your contact to get in touch by meditating on your specific inquiry or question.All parties should place their hands on the planchette at the center of the board, then allow it to move and spell out the answers to your questions.
Step 19: Try various methods of divination.
Crystal, rocks, smoke, and even bones have been used by experienced mediums to communicate with their spirit guides.Your spirit guide may suggest a preferred method of communication, as there are hundreds of different methods to choose from.The patterns of moving smoke are used to interpret the spirit world.If you want to observe the smoke as part of your meditations, burn some sacred incense, jasmine, or laurel leaves.Let the symbols show themselves.The study of shadows and shades is related to symbols.Headless shadows should not deter you from using this communication method.Take a candle and observe the shadows cast in the room on the walls for symbols or messages to appear.It's a technical term for gazing into a crystal ball and looking for something.It's also common to look into bowls of water, mirrors, or other reflective transparent surfaces if you want to practice scrying.
Step 20: Try a variety of sound methods.
Sound-capture methods of communication may be more appropriate for your investigations if you're more interested in hearing the sounds produced by the spirit world.A phenomenon called "direct voice phenomenon" is the result of the consultation.The trumpet is a cone made of aluminum, a foot or two long, and used to transmit the spirit guide.The white noise of the room and the questions of your spirit guide can be recorded on a digital recorder or tape recorder.If inaudible responses were captured on the tape, wait quietly and listen closely to your recording.
Step 21: Automatic writing is something to experiment with.
Automatic writing is an effective way of communicating with the unknown for people interested in plumbing the depths of their consciousness.Write in response to your queries when you start with your trance meditation.All you have to do is get out a pen and a piece of paper and write.This is a great way to get in touch with your own messages and reinforce the agency of the self.You can get in touch with them via automatic writing if you have your own answers.It's a good idea to write down all your communications after you get out of your state of mind.It's important to keep a record of these communications so that you can investigate them later.
Step 22: Let chance affect your query.
Formal methods of questioning-and-answering that give up the agency of the answer to chance are called tarot and iChing consultation.It can work alongside or as an alternative to more complex consciousness channels if you devote yourself to it and prepare for it.The Tarot does not require a complicated method to start using.Give a deck weight by analyzing each card.When drawing cards, let your initial reaction to the card clue you into its symbolic meaning.This is a great way of having your questions addressed.It's a good idea to consult the iChing for anecdotal responses.The "book of changes" can be created using three coins and six broken lines.A short symbolic anecdote can be read as a response to the question you're meditating on.
Step 23: Before the channel opens, cleanse yourself.
Depending on your interests and your tradition, you may find it necessary to cleanse your energy pathways in order to balance them.On the other hand, you might find it more effective to pray, recite a mantra, or otherwise center yourself physically and emotionally.Make sure to establish a mutual understanding and respect with your spirit guide if you choose to cleanse yourself for your investigations.Establish boundaries and articulate your desires is very important.
Step 24: An intense personal relationship can be formed with the source.
Before you start demanding answers to life's mysteries, you should spend a lot of time in trance meditation.If it hasn't already appeared to you as such, this may involve imagining the source as a person or presence with a name, image, or voice.If you believe the source is within you, you may have to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and habits.On a positive note, end each session.Thank your guide for their help and guidance.Don't end it in anger or frustration.
Step 25: Don't forget to record everything.
You can make the transmissions public by writing or recording them.You can receive the next message if you distance the transmission from your mind.Don't stick around and shoot up your subconscious, keep the communication flowing through you.
