Channeling is the communication of information to or through a person (the channel or medium), from a purported spirit or other supernatural entity outside the mind (or self) of the channel. Channelling is part of the belief systems and rituals of many religions, such as shamanism, Candomblé, Voodoo, Kardecism, Umbanda, and more.

Mediumistic control means a sharing of mental and physical energies between the medium and spirit communicator or operator. Control signifies a telepathic rapport between the two. How strongly en rapport they are determines the degree of control. Control can range from inspired thought, to conscious control, to light trance, to deep trance, to very deep trance. It all depends upon the work at hand and the mental and physical energies available to the spirit communicator or operator.

Channeling occurs when another consciousness is allowed to align with the channeler for the purpose of communication and the sharing of information. The channeler steps back in consciousness and allows the entity to move through them to use their mind, emotions, and vocal chords.

Channeling can be used to verify intuitive feelings, and to view life’s issues and situations with deeper awareness. The spirit guides are able to help most people with their down-to-earth issues, as well as with diverse and abstract metaphysical concerns.
