People ask me about bringing messages in from “the other side.” It is a pleasure discussing Divine Guidance and channeling. I decided to pen a piece about this because so many of you are curious about this “stupid human trick” (thank you, David Letterman).
First, I need to explain Divine Guidance. It comes in through our senses. Clairvoyance (Divine seeing) involves the third eye chakra (energy center), which is located at the forehead between your eyes. The pineal gland has rods and cones in it so a movie screen can have images captured and projected onto it. Clairaudience (Divine hearing) involves the aural network. When someone hears sounds, music, or voices, they are clairaudient. Claircognizance (Divine knowing) involves receiving information from outside one’s own thought process. Ideas, concepts, words, and phrases “drop in” for the individual. Clairsentience (Divine feeling) can be experienced as goose bumps, cold sweats, hot flashes, chills, nausea, hairs standing up, numbness, tingling, and more. When one experiences this extrasensory “clair,” they are to take note of what was just thought or stated; it is often confirmation of truth. Clairgustance (Divine tasting) is being able to taste something without putting anything in one’s mouth. People often taste food, yet they may also taste cigarettes, medicine, chemicals, and other inorganic substances. Clairsalience (Divine smelling) can be characterized as being able to identify an odor that is not physically present at the time one smells it. Smoke, perfume, cologne, food, detergent, flowers are just some of the many scents one can identify with this gift.
Automatic writing is a form of channeling. Putting pen to paper or fingertips to the keyboard is how messages can come through from other dimensions. My book, David’s Guidance; A Book of Light, is a work of many channeled messages.
A person can “open up their channel” and begin relaying information that is from outside their person. They may channel their higher self, which is the wise, knowing part of their spirit that sees and knows what is best for the soul. In addition, one is able to channel other souls’ higher selves, as well as angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters, consciousnesses, Elementals, Star Beings, departed ones and pets. I highly recommend putting White Light protection around oneself before opening to channel. Only the highest of Christ Light consciousness is to be called in. Negative energies do exist and one does not want to establish any connections with darkness.
Mediumship is when a person moves their spirit aside and allows a departed one or pet to come through. It is possible to speak the words of another soul. If your native language is English, you will probably receive the information in that tongue. There are channels who bring in other languages without having any knowledge of that foreign tongue.
Fear and doubt are very common feelings that block Divine Guidance and channeling abilities from coming through. Persecution for having been a healer or channel in other lifetimes can block a person in this lifetime from bringing in any information. Some have made vows in other lifetimes that they will not experience anything metaphysical; their vows need to be broken in order to move forward.
My abilities came through around 2003-5. I was not afraid. I had not believed in the paranormal, but when I began experiencing it I knew it was real. There was not much fear or doubt. I did forgiveness work to balance karma so I could eliminate the fear and doubt. More gifts came in after this work was done.
I suggest reading Opening to Channel by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. Doreen Virtue’s Divine Guidance is also very helpful.
if you are having a spiritual awakening and gifts are coming in, you are not alone. People are waking up around the world. It is a very exciting time to be alive!
I hope this piece has filled your fund of knowledge. Enjoy the awakening process and don’t forget to smile!
With Love,
