What is the definition of channeling?

I am sure that every channel has their own definition. This is mine, according to my own personal experience.

Channeling is the act of receiving and interpreting spiritual information, the act of flowing universal intelligence. In my case, it usually happens while I am writing. But, any time my mind is quiet is an opportunity for my Guides (The Silent Voices That Speak as One), to reach me. During this process, a spiritually intelligent voice comes through me that is much different than my own. Truths are expressed through an energy I am able to feel, and somehow, I am able to turn this energy into words. The voice is silent. The words come effortlessly. Sometimes they rhyme. Sometimes they "sound" like something out of a text book. But, no matter what form they assume, they always express the truth. I think of myself as Spirit's secretary. My Guides whisper truths to me while I take dictation.


I don't have to do anything special to prepare myself for this experience. I have channeled truths while gardening, taking a shower, mopping the kitchen floor and folding laundry. For the most part, I channeled my book while sitting in a very old brown recliner that squeaked whenever I raised the foot rest.

In other words, as long as my mind is quiet, channeling can happen any time, anywhere.


The following piece was channeled to me as a song many years ago. The story behind it is in the book.


Where Truth Resides

Spirit is alive inside you
Trust the light inside to guide you
Embrace the place within your soul
That knows the truth that makes you whole
See yourself inside the mirror
Look beyond your pain and fear
Then close your eyes and clear your mind
Get past your thoughts and you will find
The answers to your questions–the path to your life's dream
Your world of possibilities is closer than it seems
Forget your cares and worries, the troubles in your mind
Forget what others tell you; you know the truth inside
Just keep on walking through the night
Just keep your focus on the light
The road ahead is clear to see
Just trust your heart to set you free
You know the way; you know the road
Forget the lies that you've been told
Just close your eyes and you will know
Just hear the whisper of your soul
Just hear the whisper of your soul
Just hear the whisper of your soul
Just hear the whisper.
