And now let’s dive into Lesson Six: Channeling and Taking Care of the Body.

The body is a vessel.  The body can only be a vessel. 

But when we are speaking, as we are, of caring for the body of a channeler, the body becomes a vessel in service to Source. 

As you begin to channel, and start following the guidance that you are bringing forth, you may notice that your life begins to change.  A new ease may become apparent.  Your path may feel swept and cleared for you.  Or, abrupt and often surprising changes in circumstances may take place.  You may move.  You may change professions.  You may find new sources of income.  Relationships may end, or start. 

All of this is in response to the new energy flowing through you, and to your rising vibration.  You are being rewired, so to speak, by this new energy flowing through you. 

This is natural. 

As you follow your new path you can expect your life to become better and better.  You are fulfilling a role planned long ago.  Your life will take a quantum leap forward as a result of this. 

But there are also new adjustments that may need to be made for your physical body as it rallies itself and becomes used to this new energy, and to its new role. 

You may experience fatigue.  You may find yourself content to be alone more.  You may need to be in nature more often.  You may spend more time in silence. 

Give your self, and your body, what it requires, what it is asking for.  Extra sleep and drinking more water may help your body to ease the initial adjustments.  Knowing this helps to bridge your physical body from where it is – perhaps struggling a little with its new requirements – to a body that has adapted fully.  Which it will. 

Know that a path charted long ago is being fulfilled.  You are the earthly part of a celestial team.  You are not alone in this adventure.  Unseen help is smoothing your way, is guiding you. 

Know this is the fulfillment of a long-ago task accepted and planned by you. 

Know how very important you are in bringing forth this message, and that it is yours to bring forth. 

Know that you are being supported, celebrated and loved.  So very loved, every step of the glorious way.

When I think of channeling, especially beginning to channel, the image that I see in my mind is that of a tap. 

In the beginning there is only a small trickle, so you may not feel any difference in your body.  You might not see a difference in your life.  But as you keep practicing, and channeling begins to feel more natural, then more and more water begins to flow from that faucet. 

And as you gradually spend more and more time channeling (because there is always more and more to ask) you may begin to wonder – why do I feel so tried all the time? 

It is as the Dear Heart Love Soul letter said above, “You are being rewired…”

Most channelers that I have listened to on podcasts, or have taken courses with, mention feeling tired in the beginning and needing more sleep, or needing to drink more water to stay hydrated.

I’ve also heard of people who suddenly change their diets.  Some go plant-based, others already are vegan but begin to eat meat.  Some stop drinking alcohol.  Others eliminate sugar.  There are so many variations, but, I think, the important thing is to be aware of this, and to listen to your own body, intuition, or guides. 

As for me, I have been plant-based for decades and didn’t feel any need to change my diet, but one day did feel strongly drawn to enter a health food shop that I happened to be passing.  Once inside I was guided to a shelf with many different brands of spirulina on it. Then I was guided to buy a specific spirulina. 

After I began taking it daily, I realized how much more energetic I felt.  I have now been adding it to my morning smoothie bowl for months, but recently have begun to get the feeling that one day I will be ‘told’ that I no longer need it anymore.

So, if you are getting messages around your health, I would suggest trying them out.  Trust yourself.  Trust your intuition.  Trust your guides.

This Dear Heart letter also talks about potentially experiencing unexpected changes in your life.  This certainly happened to me in a big way.

I ended up moving over 4,000 kilometres!

But first, the backstory…

The very first Dear Heart letter that I received was in the summer of 2018.  At the time I was doing a lot of self-healing around some childhood trauma.  One day while journaling, the words, Dear Heart, appeared, followed by a few short sentences.  It was signed, Love Soul. 

At the time I ‘knew’ that I hadn’t written it, but I never would have called it channeling. 

That summer a few more Dear Heart letters appeared in the same way, but then they stopped. 

Or, so I thought.

Fast forward a few years to the pandemic where I was, probably like you, at home.  Home, then, was Toronto, Canada, where I had been happily living for over three decades. 

But one day, during the pandemic, while meditating, I received a vision of a mountain and ‘knew’ I was going there.  I also ‘knew’ what I was being shown was in British Columbia, Canada. 

Skip ahead to the spring of 2022 when my partner was unexpectedly offered a job on Vancouver Island, which is in, you guessed it, British Columbia. 

So, we flew out to investigate it further.  And it was there, while standing on a pier, that I looked out across the ocean and suddenly saw ‘my’ mountain for real.  It looked so close to the vision in my meditation that I could not move, or speak, for several seconds.  The mountain turned out to be Mt. Baker, in Washington State, USA.  And now I see it every day when the weather is clear.

Because, yes, my partner did accept the job.

And yes, we did move across the country.

Six months after settling in my new home, I was sitting on a beach writing in a notebook, with Mt. Baker looming on the horizon, when the words, Dear Heart, poured out of my pen.

And these beautiful letters continue to flow out of my pen. I have been receiving them daily for over a year and a half now.

At the end of 2023 I was guided to start publishing them here on Substack.  (I didn’t even know what Substack was.)

During the summer of 2024, I was guided to begin creating this a course on channeling. (Which scares me silly, to be truthful, because the lessons are being ‘given’ to me, week by week, and frankly, I am the kind of person who needs to have every detail of a journey nailed down long before I even consider stepping out my front door.)

All of this to say, if you are reading this, I am absolutely certain that you are meant to be here, and that you are meant to channel. 

Honestly, I could not be more certain.

Sending so much love,
