Channeling is an ancient method by which mediums and spiritual practitioners communicate with the unseen spirit world. Throughout history, figures like shamans, prophets, oracles, and seers have used this divine communication (often called divination) to convey messages from beyond.

Many believe channeling is reserved for the “chosen few,” but in truth, each soul carries a spark of connection to spirit. Like any skill, it can be nurtured, practiced, and developed with patience and intention.

Below, I’ll guide you through a safe, structured approach to begin channeling and mediumship.


3 Simple Steps to Channeling: Learn in 9 weeks

1. Establishing Spiritual Protection (The Protective Bubble)

Before attempting any spirit connection, it’s vital to shield your energy field. Here’s a simple visualization:

  1. Imagine a beam of pure white light descending from Source (God, The Universe, The Divine) through the crown of your head, traveling down through your body, and exiting through your feet.

  2. Visualize that light rising to encompass you, forming a luminous protective bubble or aura.

  3. State (silently or aloud): “Only that which is for my highest good may come through.”

Now you are energetically grounded and protected. With this shield in place, you are ready to begin. Order a Psychic Reading or Mediumship Coaching Book Now

2. The 3-Phase Channeling Practice (A 9-Week Framework)

You’ll work through three phases, devoting about 10–15 minutes per day to each. Each phase lasts three weeks.

Phase

Focus

Daily Practice

Phase 1

Visualization training

See in pictures, deepen your imagination

Phase 2

Let go of the conscious mind

Release control, trust impressions

Phase 3

Ask spirit questions

Receive answers via intuition, images, feelings

Try to practice at roughly the same time daily, in a quiet, undisturbed space. If you ever feel stressed or blocked, pause and resume another day.

2.1 Phase 1: Visualization

Spirit often communicates through images, so strengthening your inner vision is essential.

  • Each day, pick an object or scene you cannot see in front of you (for example: a rose, an island, a person).

  • In your mind’s eye, build it in detail: color, texture, smell, ambiance, emotions associated with it.

  • Let your mental picture become “real” to you.

  • After 2–3 days, switch to something new to keep your imagination vibrant.

If it feels difficult at first, that’s okay. Over time, clarity will improve. Always keep the exercise fun — not forced. Why this works: Visualization trains the same brain pathways used in intuitive perception, strengthening your ability to sense subtle energy.

2.2 Phase 2: Letting Go of the Conscious Mind

One barrier to channeling is overanalysis. Spirit tends to communicate via the subconscious, not the logical mind.

  • Return inward to when you were a child — less burdened by daily thoughts and responsibilities.

  • Let thoughts drift freely; allow spirit to whisper through intuition, daydreams, images.

  • If worries about bills or chores intrude, gently set them aside and re-center.

  • You don’t have to “clear your mind”—just allow thoughts to float and listen inwardly.

Call this your 10–15 minute “mini vacation” each day. Be open.

2.3 Phase 3: Asking Your Questions

Now the fun begins — you’ll communicate with spirit.

  • Continue your ritual (get comfortable, protect your energy).

  • For the first two weeks: ask yes/no or simple questions. You may repeat a question up to three days. But if no clear answer comes, pause and revisit later.

  • Be open: answers may come as feelings, gut senses, visuals, words, subtle voice, or sudden knowing.

  • Don’t worry about “how” you receive it — trust your awareness.

  • In the third week: you may pose more elaborate or open-ended questions. Make them as specific and clear as possible (avoid vague phrasing).

  • If you struggle receiving for yourself, try asking for someone else or a spirit guide — sometimes this is more effortless initially.

Be patient. Not every question will be answered immediately. Timing, free will, or karmic factors may delay clarity. You can revisit unanswered questions later. At some point, you’ll notice a gentle warmth, a flash of imagery, or words that carry peace rather than fear — that’s your sign you’ve made contact.

3. Types of Channeling

You may naturally fall into one of these styles — or choose deliberately:

  1. Trance Channeling: A spirit fully takes over your voice and body; your consciousness temporarily steps aside.

    • If this feels uncomfortable, you may refuse or assert boundaries (“I do not want trance channeling”).

  2. Shared Channeling: The spirit is present but you maintain awareness and partially share control. You remember portions of the communication.


  3. Awake / Conscious Channeling (most common): You receive messages in your own mind while fully conscious — via thoughts, images, feelings, or words. No spirit enters your body.


Choose the style you feel most comfortable with, and make your preference known to spirit.

4. Tips, Ethics & Encouragement


  • Be consistent but gentle. If a day feels wrong, skip it.

  • Always reaffirm your protective bubble.

  • Journal every impression (no matter how faint). Over time, patterns emerge.

  • Approach spirit with respect, humility, and clear intention.

  • Understand that not all messages will resonate with your expectations — spirit’s guidance may challenge you.

  • Never ask questions that violate free will or ethics.

  • Incorporate grounding practices (e.g. deep breathing, nature, physical activity) after channeling sessions.


With this 9-week framework, you’ll steadily build your intuitive “line” to spirit. Speak gently, listen deeply, and above all, enjoy the process.
