Trance channeling is sometimes called psychic channeling and mediumship. It should not be confused with receiving messages from guides, angels, spirits or other dimensional beings through clairaudience (hearing information given to you and then passed on verbally).
Trance channeling is in a league all its own and in my own personal opinion, takes a very strong minded, trusting person of faith to become a trance channeler who has made the universal agreement to become a vehicle for divine messages.
So, what exactly is trance channeling that makes it so unique and different from being psychic, clairsentient, clairaudient, clairvoyant or spirit mediumship; the YOU that is YOU is not in the driver's seat! Trance channeling is a special form of spiritualist mediumship.
Trance mediums place their own consciousness in the background to allow the spirit being or non-physical communicator to speak through them.
Trance mediums are able to take a backseat in their own mind and body, while a spirit being or spirit entities speaks directly through their consciousness. This spirit communication can come through the medium in the form of speech (sometimes with a complete change in voice or speaking in foreign languages), automatic writing, art and drawings and even in physical manifestations like facial transformation!
During trance channeling, the channel goes into a sleep-like state or trance and retains no conscious awareness of the experience. Trance channeling requires an assistant to take notes or the use of a tape recorder to record what is said during the trance, since the channel will not recall any of it.
There are exceptions to this rule with some trance channelers who are not in a total altered state, remaining semi-conscious to varying degrees during the channeling session but most are not consciously present.
Psychics hear or see spirit without loaning their physical body to a spirit just as they communicate with living people without loaning their bodies to whom they are talking with.
In contrast, trance channeling causes the channel to "go away" temporarily and the communicator steps in and uses the channel's throat and voice, hands or other body parts to speak or write. The communicator borrows a channeler's body temporarily and then leaves it once the session ends.
Trance channeling is often misunderstood as a form of spirit communication. It is not the same as psychic mediumship or spirit communication where a message is imparted by an individual who is fully conscious and aware. It does not involve spirit communication bringing messages from your dearly departed uncle in the afterlife.
Trance mediums channel messages that are usually from highly evolved beings, avatars and spirit teachers. Information conveyed during the channeling session is typically spiritual or contains advanced knowledge for humanity.
A misconception about trance channeling is that the trance medium becomes "possessed" by a spirit entity. This is absolutely not true! Trance channelers are not entirely controlled by the spirit beings communicating through them but merely sharing their mental and physical vehicle with the non-physical entity so their messages can be received in this physical world in a form we can understand. Trance mediums bring powerful messages and teachings of love, hope and healing to us from much higher evolved entities.
These higher evolved entities may be an angel, extraterrestrial or other higher dimensional being, nature spirit, spirit guide or the spirit of a dead person who has lived many lifetimes and was a powerful teacher when alive such as Jesus or Buddha.
A connection with the higher realms may provide information that leads to increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-love and spiritual growth. Information about previous incarnations, present life relationships and present life lessons and challenges might also come through the channel.
High-level guides and beings of light never tell anyone what to do. They only offer insight and guidance about a person's life lessons and point out additional options or ways of viewing a relationship, a situation or life in general.
A number of trance channelers have become well known in the last century. Some of those trance channelers include Edgar Cayce, known as "The Sleeping Prophet", who answered health-related questions as well as prophecies about coming earth changes. Jane Roberts, who channeled the entity Seth and wrote many books containing his metaphysical teachings. Trance channelers who were automatic writers include authors Ruth Montgomery and psychic Jean Dixon. Well-known contemporary channelers include Sanaya Roman, Lee Carroll and Esther Hicks. Another contemporary trance channeler is Barbara Marciniak who channels information from the multi-dimensional beings called the Pleiadians. If you are interested in reading about information given humanity from a loftier point of view, I recommend highly looking into books from the above-mentioned authors. You will definitely feel humbled and in awe!
