Channeling     Part III   By Lilly If intent is pure, then the next step is prayer. Pray for the Lord to give you aid and then ask for protection from all negativity with the Holy Spirit filling and surrounding you. State clearly in your prayer whom you wish to speak to, i.e. asking to speak to someone most highest and most on purpose. Then if you are able to type fairly well, sit at the computer keyboard with the fingers on the keys, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you with the channeled message. Always ask for guidance as that is the way it comes through, as guidance. Again intent is clearly and instantly visible to Spirits. The person's Auric Field shows this easily. Being well rested also is important, as it can drain a person doing channeling. Whenever you first start to sense that your mind is wandering some with the channeling, stop, as it is that first sensing of drain that feels like fatigue that you should pay attention to. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you with all channeled messages, and you will notice soon enough if there seems to be this prepared statement coming forth in the text given you. . What I have found that works well is to have a set theme yourself so that you will be working with those High Souls who are giving forth information. As this is a joint effort with this information, sense where the information is leading to and sense also if there is an allowance of questions and answers for you. Sometimes it is a quick message of inspiration and affirmation for you with your goals, other times it is a question and answer session, along with generalized guidance. So the theme could be a number of things, along with a variation of the several types of channeling. Always it will make you feel better after you have read what they say, as it gives the uplifting information for a higher purpose. If you plan to have this as a channeling session where you link with your Guides and ask certain questions, try to have questions pertinent to your life such as "what is my higher purpose, what do I need to do to correct what might be blocking me from attaining this? What skills should I develop to help me attain my goals? What do you feel I need to hear at this time? These Souls whom you are contacting are beings who are busy with lives of their own and to make this a lengthy session where you take too much time expressing yourself isn't wise. Consider them much like a college professor whom you walk up to and ask for a few questions to be answered. You respect their situation and realize that they have others needing aid, too. Granted, they are taking the time to come and aid you and that is appreciated, just remember that there are more people whom they come and give aid to. That is why I suggest having it planned out with questions written down. With connecting to Angels who are giving forth this channeled information, it is good to share this with those whom you are feeling they will gain from this. Keeping a journal of these wonderful, inspiring messages can truly be of benefit to many. A wonderful book to read full of many inspiring, meaningful messages is called "Messages to our Family", by Annie Kirkwood. In this book you will have a large amount of wonderful channeled messages to compare with and sense the many helpful themes. She is an excellent channeler and has shared them in this book she's compiled. As a word of caution here: As intent is very important, ask yourself first why you are attempting to do channeling. A person can tell the difference easily if the channeling received is vague and the rambling sentences don't convey a clear meaning. The theme is important and should be sensed easily. Another issue is if the information details rambling but well thought out misinformation designed to create an aura of mystery, however, not informative in the sense of it being worthwhile, then there should be discontinuation of this channeling. So often is the case with this type of channeling, and to trust this type is foolish. It causes the person to feel "special" and that is not good. All channelings should be questioned to see if they give forth valuable, pertinent, and clear messages. If they give forth clouded and flowery terminology, yet do not convey the highest and best good in terms of growth to the Soul, then there is nothing there. You see, the Ego of the person who is doing the receiving of this type of channeled message is vulnerable to those in Spirit who play with the person's Auric Field much like a game. They do that in order to gain control over that person and then have leverage with their energy. I know that sounds upsetting to some, but if you realize it in terms of energy and ego combined, if the person is willingly believing of this Ego-fed channeling, then it is like an open invitation and the Lord allows this to exist for a hard lesson to be learn through this experience. Don't let your Ego become flattered. As with all channeling, the type of message means the most. Of course, when you sense the feeling of love and vibration of exuberance, joy, and the message is clear, then all is welcome. Just keep in mind the whole text and your reason in the first place to be contacting Spirit. It does have a special place in God's Heart to be welcoming those who are attaining a higher level of energy while on the Earth and should be realized that He enjoys the contact with His loved ones down on the Earth. He needs to sense this, too, from you so gratitude afterwards always is good to express. Just a kind thank you will be welcome by the Guides and the Lord.
