Channeling

[Tova]

I'm a beginner at channeling, and I channel what I know is my higher spiritual self who is named Arwen and is also my guide. I first connected to this joyful and loving energy two months ago and I would like to share my experiences with others and possibly learn some teachniques. Anyone have any tips they'd like to share?

Yes. Read "Channeling Your Higher Self" by Dr. Henry Reed
You can find a copy on Amazon.com

Possible side effects of CHANNELING, from: "Ayurvedic Healing" by Dr. David Frawley,O.M.D.

"Channeling is a very complex phenomena and, though it may offer us much, does have possible side-effects. Whenever we allow another entity to work through our minds, we are risking both physical and mental health. On a physical level we have to die a little. We have to weaken the hold of our own life-force on our mind in order to let another being work through it. On a psychological level we tend to lose control of our emotional energy. Channeling in general aggravates Vata, the air element in the body. Long term it could lead to insomnia, epilepsy, paralysis, or arthritis. Jane Roberts , who started the whole channeling movement with her channeling of Seth, died at a relatively young age of rheumatoid arthritis, a typical Vata disorder. Ayurveda would tend to think it was caused by her practice. The risks of channeling, may take a number of years to manifest, like smoking for example. One consideration is that the unconsciousness during channeling is likely to have a damaging effect on the body and mind. If we retain our awareness, this is less likely to occur. When problems manifest they can generally be treated, by wearing blue stones such as blue sapphire, and amethyst, set in gold. Hessonite garnet is a good stone for protecting the aura."

Before I would delve deeper into Channeling I would learn more about it, especially from the Ayurveda. Meditation, coming from the healthy aspect of Ayuveda, has no bad side effects at all. I'd take the healthier choice. Knowledge is liberating, know all you can, before you dive in.................p.dasi

Hi Tova,
There is a place in the US that has studied Channeling, extensively, from the viewpoint of many different cultures.
The Association for Research and Enlightenment (the A.R.E.) houses the second largest occult library in the WORLD, and people are able to check books out, take e-classes and attend workshops and programs in all sorts of subjects. It can be a gold mine of information and jumping off points.
The largest occult library is in Vatican City, Italy, and they don't let anybody check anything out,ever.
I hope you read and study about the phenomena called Channeling from as many different angles and teachers as you are able - then go with your own intuition. The person who is truly on a path of truth will get to the truth, just don't let yourself be led astray by well meaning, but, opinionated people. (That would include me, too.)
Go to www.edgarcayce.org

Many Blessings, Tova, and Many Journeys

Hi Tova,
How is your channeling study coming along?
P.dasi had some interesting things to say about the Ayurvedic side that I found to be correct within myself.
As a long time channeler, there were things I had not noticed that he mentioned, like not noticing my height or hair color because of my familiarity with myself, that seemed to apply. My own life force seems to have been strengthened overall, but that may be particular to my particular life experiences. I've gone up and down, but, overall I have grown stronger in Spirit as I re-member my highest self.
There is a program at the ARE in Feb. called "Be Your Own Psychic" that might be of interest to you.
I hope you are finding a happy balance.
Blessings,
Janis
