Lesson One: How to Be a Channel

Welcome to Lesson One of How To Be a Channel!

The course is comprised of channeled information from the same source behind the Dear Heart Love Soul letters. (I call them the Soul Collective.) And, also, information straight from me. (Everything from me will appear like this in italics so you know who is speaking.)

Before we begin, I want to assure you that everyone (even you!) has the ability to channel.  In fact, you’ve done it before.  You just didn’t realize that’s what you were doing.

Here’s what the Soul Collective wants you to know about that:

You are even now, in your current state and level of openness – channeling.  You are receiving information from your Higher Self. 

Everyone has received at some point at least one of these things: a knowing, a hunch, an awareness, a premonition, an idea, an inspiration, or a deep sense of peace, of feeling all is right with the world. 

These are all ways your Higher Self has communicated with you.  You may have listened, or you may have discredited it, but it was a communication that you received from a Source outside of your self. 

This is what is known as, ‘channeling.’ 

And it is what will be explored in this short introductory course on channeling.  We simply wanted to point out to you that you have already experienced this.  And in the recognition of that is the crack, is the opening, is the encouragement that you are indeed able to develop and master this type of communication with your Higher Self in order to gain answers to your questions, to gain wisdom, to gain guidance and, most important to us, to connect with and truly feel the great Love that is here for you, now and always.

We love you so much,

I hope this rings true for you.  That you have, at one time or another, felt one, or many, of those things.  Maybe once you lost your keys and had a ‘hunch’ they were in the backyard under the porch, which made absolutely no sense, but when you checked – there they were.  And you were just so grateful to be able to get the kids to school on time that you didn’t question it much.

Or, you suddenly got the inspiration for a poem and the moment you picked up a pen the words flowed out, almost magically.

Or, one summer night while watching the sunset this total feeling of serenity and wonder came over you, and you’ve never forgotten it.  It was almost beyond words.

These are all forms of channeling.

And I am betting that you are here because you want to learn how to consciously work with this energy.  How to bring it into your life more and more.

Here is the Soul Collective offering us some ways to do just that:

You are part, are center, are the receiver, of a whirl of wisdom.  It exists, it flows, it pulses, unseen, all around you.  The answers you seek are whispering all around you.  You need only to learn how to hear these answers to your questions. 

To do this: first, trust that you are not alone. 

Everyone finds their own way to this delicious realization.  The waking up to knowing there is a world unseen that is many, many times greater than the world you do see.  And this unseen world is always in communication with you, even if you do not yet realize it.  Believing the answers are available to you, and trusting in this, is the first step towards actually receiving these answers.  

Second, is finding a way for you to hear this subtle communication. 

For some people it is through meditation.  By meditation we mean comfortably sitting and releasing your thoughts, suspending them, detaching from them, in order to listen, to connect with that part of you that is unseen, is fully aware, and is connected to that which you seek.  This is subtle, particularly at first.  So much of listening is learning to become a receiver.  To consciously opening your self to your Self.  You know how to do this, even if you think you do not.  Indeed, it is as natural as breathing.  It is only a matter of remembering. 

So, first, trust that there is guidance for you. 

And, second, find a way to attune to it. 

Another way to tune into it is by being in nature.  By spending time quietly in nature, preferably alone.  Relax in a park, or a forest.  Sit by water.  Watch the sky.  Relax. Feel your self unfold.  Let your self open.  You may want to try writing in a notebook while you are in this state of open relaxation.

A third suggestion would be to try making something.  Anything, really, whether it be art, a garden, or a meal.  Whatever is calling to come through you.  The act of creating joins you to Creation.  You are more familiar with, and accepting of, the idea of inspiration, rather than the idea of channeling.  Of receiving an idea seemingly from nowhere.  Inspiration is wisdom whispering to you.  Inspiration is channeling. They are the same.

So, first, trust that there is guidance for you.  And, second, find a way to attune to it. 

Trust that wisdom is not only available to you, but is eager to give you guidance.  And spend time in silence, attuning your self, listening, opening, receiving the whispered messages and wisdom that we promise you is there, for you.  Is always there for you. 

As you reach towards it, it rushes towards you – with Love.

We love you so much,

Take a moment now to check in with yourself.  Did any of the ideas offered here resonate with you?  For example: did the thought of wandering beside a river, or sitting in a nearby park this week feel good to you?

Or, did an idea for a creative project suddenly pop into your mind?  Maybe you remembered that you recently saw an advertisement for a meditation course? 

Take a moment to slow down and notice these things.

If anything occurred to you, try to make some time this week to do it.

This week is all about listening more closely.  It’s about you tuning into your guides, Source Energy, The Universe, God, Goddess, the angels, or whatever name feels right and true for you.  This week is about listening, and allowing yourself to receive messages.  And it is about trusting that a message will arrive.

One more thing: I suggest you get a notebook for this course.  Make a dedicated place to jot down any messages, feelings, inspiration, signs, dreams or ‘weird’ coincidences.  Our brains are so conditioned to discredit this stuff that we forget about it. But I promise, if you write it down, even if it feels like nothing, you will look back and be amazed. 

Because sometimes the message doesn’t appear all at once.  Instead there will be a series of things so small and subtle that you won’t even notice that a chain of events are leading you somewhere.  That a message is being sent over and over again.  You might not notice that there is magic all around you until you reread it, and see it there in your own handwriting.

May you begin to sense that you do have guidance.  That you aren’t alone.  And that you can communicate and receive wisdom, guidance and love from Source.  If you have any questions pop them in the comments, or send me a message.  And please, share any realizations, experiences or magical moments in the comments.  I’d love to hear about them!

See you next Thursday for Lesson Two.
