Some people are afraid that if they learn to channel they will get too "far out" or "spacey" and lose touch with reality.  It has been observed that channeling has helped people feel more grounded, more centered and more able to deal effectively with their daily lives.
  Some people are afraid that if they channel or connect with a guide, they will lose their personal identify or get "swallowed up" by the guides presence.  High level guides never want to take over your life.  Channeling is not a surrender of control.  Guides have their own lives and their intent is to serve you in your spiritual path.  You will know yourself as a more pwerful, balanced, clear-thinking person while they are with you.
  Some people are afraid that if they open up they will be vulnerable to negative or lower entities.  You will NOT be vulnerable, you will easily recongnize lower entities by their negativity and all you need to do is be firm and ask them to leave.  But DO NOT play with lower entities out of curiousity.
 
 
If you want to know if you are ready to channel.  Look inside yourself and ask these questions:  "Do I have a deep desire to channel or connect with my guide?  Does there seem to be a inner urge or voice drawing mr in this direction?"   Listen to your inner messages for the answers.
 
 
Here is more information on Channeling:
  
    As you become spirituallt evolve, your sensitivity to the higher realms increases.  Ideas seem to come to you from somewhere beyond yourself.  You find yourself knowing things that you didn't know before.  You may feel that you are connecting to an energy that is higher than or different  from your normal awareness.   You are beginning to consciously experience the higher dimensions.  At this stage the connection to a guide my occur in your dreams or in spontaneous or unexpected moments.
   There is no one set way to become ready to channel.  Preparation is different with each person.   Those who are and who are not ready to channel know it.
A trance state is first of all a state of consciousness that allows you to connect with a guide.  There are many ways to describe this experience.  Once you have experienced the channeling statem it is easy to remember and return to.  Most people find that acheivinga channeling sate is easier and different than they thought it would be.
  The trance state creates very subtle changes in your perception of reality.  Answers to questions may come easily and they may seem simple or obvious.  At first it may seem as if you are making up the words and thoughts.  Do not push your mind away at this time, use it to help you reach higher.
   Channeling usually causes a change in your breathing and may initially be accompanied by unusual sensitivity in your upper body.  You may feel heat in your hands or an increase in your body temperature.  After you have channeled for awhile, you become used to feelings and unusual ones rarely occur.  
   At first, when you enter into a trance, you may actually become more aware of the environment you are in, particularly when you meet your guide.  Soon the environment will seem less significant and you can learn not to let outside noises distract you.  
  Most people who meditate have already begun to access the channeling state.  Unless they request a guide, they pass right through the channeling stare on their way to deeper meditative states, and coming up out of these states.
