Opening to Channel: Notes from a Trance Channel by Phalam

Channeling can best be described as a proactive meditation which is

feminine in context. Women actually make the best channels as they

are required to understand the anatomy of their consciousness at an

early age. They are required to establish rules and disciplines around

their menstrual cycles, pregnancy and creating careers in a male-dominated society.

In order to channel, men have to achieve a completely androgynous consciousness where the female side of them easily intervenes. When to channel is equally as important as how to channel. Lunar cycles offer us the best opportunity to understand our emotional natures. Channeling is a soft, gentle, serene experience where time and space seem irrelevant. Understanding the anatomy of consciousness is similar to understanding the biorhythms of our physiology.

As the Moon waxes we naturally gain momentum in our emotional

natures. As the Moon comes full, we normally exercise our emotions to

their full extent. As the Moon wanes we draw back and become

emotionally more complacent. Finding a point on either side of the full

Moon is best to start. Just as a woman would probably not attempt a

meditative state in a premenstrual period when cramps begin and

bloating is relevant, we naturally avoid points in time when we are

emotionally vulnerable. Nothing in the past or future should be

available to the ego in the channeling exercise as the ego will take

every opportunity to remind you of this bill or that commitment.

Next, it is important to ritualize the event. Once you have practiced

the initial stage of breathing and mental asana and are working with

the first thoughts coming in, begin the ritual. Yoga and Tai Chi help

set the mood. A one-day fast with water and juices also helps set the

stage. Taking a warm bath and nurturing yourself in any mannerism

elevates energy. If you don’t know yoga or Tai Chi, then long walks,

swimming or short jogs achieve similar results. Remember this sets

the intent of what you are about to experience. Channeling is similar

to energy healing work where the intent is in place. With both healing

and channeling, enter the experience without expectations or results.

It is very important that the ego is reserved in terms of any results

and expectations. It may very well take three or four attempts before

the psychic window opens.
