Death is a part of life that can cause much pain for the ones left behind. Individuals may partake in
many different forms of healing practices to sooth and consul their pain practicing various religious
or spiritual beliefs. One such custom that has gained popularity in modern day is the art of
channeling, which is the ability of an individual to receive messages from spirits beyond that have
crossed over or who are earth bound and to forward the message to the appropriate receiver.

Channeling varies somewhat in definitions of the
practices among different eras and cultures,
but generally holds a common belief.
Channeling more specifically is seen as the
transmission of messages or ideas from non-
human entities, spirits or souls outside the
human body back to the receiving human. The
medium usually remains neutral of any
personal thoughts that may affect the
interpreted message from beyond. It has been
reported that many mediums feel the
messenger’s emotions or pain; although, the
medium can learn how to effectively protect
and ground before a reading. If the medium
uses protection techniques during the
channeling session, this may deter the spirit
from beyond to negatively invade the
channeler’s space.
There is no one definitive founder of channeling and no accounts of human documents of one
particular founder of channeling; although, there have been documented reports of oracles and
prophecies dating back to Greek and Roman Mythology. There have also been references to the
revelations of Biblical lore, and numerous reported incidents in the Bible of mediums or channelers
receiving spiritual messages from supreme beings. Channeling also became a way of spiritual
communication that was widely practiced and accepted during the Renaissance period.

Each channeler may experience different ways to practice and prepare to channel. Some use crystals,
stones, charkas or dousing rods or use their spirit guides to encourage the communications. Other
channelers rely on great preparation of meditation, clearing the mind and some may eat a very
cleansing diet before a difficult case.  Others rely on nothing. Each channeler is very prudent to
include protection measures in each of their events.

Many channelers explain the event as being used as a frequency tool compared to a switchboard and
connecting with someone at the other end.  It can also be associated to tuning in a radio, such as
each station brings a different frequency of information that are identified by different visions,
colors, charkas and tomes.

Of course there are many who are skeptical of mediums, channelors and their practices. It is a fact
that there are some charlatans in the field, but many recipients have reported that channelers have
been able help to heal their pain from losing a loved one. Some recipients have stated that the
channeler has identified private information without any prior knowledge and history of the person
who has crossed. The art of channeling seems to help and heal many people even in modern times.
