Channeling Is Not What You Think It Is (The Truth Explained)

WEBVTT

00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:02.080
Channeling is not what you think it is.

00:00:02.185 --> 00:00:04.000
You are not being taken over.

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.970
You are not losing control, and you're definitely not opening yourself up to something dark.

00:00:10.449 --> 00:00:15.519
In fact, it's one of the most natural abilities that you already have.

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.629
I'm your host, Lisa Brandis, and today.

00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:39.020
I want to show you what channeling actually is, not the version that you may have seen in the movies, not the fear-based version that people think or talk about, but the real grounded human experience of channeling because once you understand it properly.

00:00:39.895 --> 00:00:41.094
Everything shifts.

00:00:41.125 --> 00:00:46.854
So let me take you back to when I first experienced channeling trance, channeling directly.

00:00:46.854 --> 00:00:51.954
At that point, I'd been sitting in a mediumship development circle for about four years.

00:00:52.255 --> 00:00:59.284
I'd been practicing reiki for many more years than that, and I already had developed a really strong connection with my spirit guide Anya.

00:00:59.634 --> 00:01:02.695
So I was communicating with her telepathically.

00:01:03.024 --> 00:01:07.045
I was getting clairvoyant and, and messages coming through.

00:01:07.305 --> 00:01:09.135
I'd already felt the energy.

00:01:09.194 --> 00:01:17.594
I'd experienced her presence and I'd witnessed a trance channel demonstration before, so I was in the front row.

00:01:17.625 --> 00:01:23.055
I felt the experience of that, but I'd never yet experienced it myself up until.

00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:30.670
That moment, everything was me speaking, so spirit speaking, me, translating, and then sharing.

00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:33.849
So one day everything changed for me.

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:40.840
I was teaching a Reiki one class and during the two months the energy always builds as I atune one and then the other.

00:01:41.109 --> 00:01:42.310
I would do it in groups.

00:01:42.549 --> 00:01:50.329
And by the time I got to the last, the last atunement, the energy was so high and I could feel Anya clairvoyancy saying, sorry.

00:01:51.049 --> 00:01:57.260
Or he is saying to me, in my mind's eye, I want to give a direct message to the students.

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:04.010
And I remember arguing with her and not sure what she was gonna say and just struggling to let go of that first element of control.

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:06.769
And she said to me, you are ready.

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:08.150
You can trust me.

00:02:08.509 --> 00:02:18.770
And there was something, I don't quite know how I allowed it to happen, but there was a heart opening and a resonance, and it was part of something I'd already been asking for.

00:02:19.564 --> 00:02:27.094
She felt in that moment that we were both ready and the feeling was totally euphoric.

00:02:27.094 --> 00:02:30.604
I was on such a high frequency.

00:02:30.604 --> 00:02:33.034
My mind, my heart had expanded.

00:02:33.365 --> 00:02:36.965
The message that came through me was uplifting and.

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.990
It made a big difference to the group that I was with, and the feeling is the thing that I can never forget.

00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:49.349
It was, it was, like I said, it, it, it's unlike anything I've experienced before.

00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:54.780
So I wanted to share and break down some of the misconceptions.

00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:57.000
Okay, because here's.

00:02:58.050 --> 00:03:04.115
I, I guess when you have an experience like that, that kind of connection, you don't easily forget it.

00:03:04.115 --> 00:03:08.884
So I kind of felt the same way when I first was attuned to Reiki and then this was just that.

00:03:09.555 --> 00:03:15.705
So what it teaches you is that channeling isn't about losing control.

00:03:15.705 --> 00:03:16.935
It's quite the opposite.

00:03:16.935 --> 00:03:24.254
You are aware, you are present, you are always in control, but you are blended with this incredible.

00:03:24.844 --> 00:03:28.895
Energy and this frequency, nothing comes through you without permission.

00:03:29.284 --> 00:03:32.914
And that moment for me wasn't about something taking over me.

00:03:32.914 --> 00:03:45.604
It was about me allowing and opening and expanding into something pure and loving and having such a total beautiful resonance with that energy that I'd come to know through the mediumship development.

00:03:45.604 --> 00:03:49.594
So fast forward a little bit in time where I would put my hands.

00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:58.780
On two students that were receiving the attunement, this is when I'd kind of step back a little bit and my masters would be aud the students in the groups that I worked in.

00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:04.180
And as I would put my hands on their shoulders, I would channel a message through for the entire group.

00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:15.340
But those two particular people who had the hands on connection said that they felt the energy of Anya come through and it was like nothing they'd experienced before.

00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:15.819
So.

00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:21.699
I remember one girl in particular coming back and she'd had a reiki one atunement in that way where she was one of the two.

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:31.660
I chose to feel that energy and she came back and did a reiki two atunement and, and someone else got that experience in in that second group, and she came back going, oh my gosh.

00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:33.459
It was nothing like the first Atunement.

00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:38.769
So she didn't realize that that wasn't commonplace and that that was quite a privilege to be.

00:04:39.095 --> 00:04:40.024
Chosen by Anya.

00:04:40.024 --> 00:04:40.595
It wasn't me.

00:04:40.595 --> 00:04:42.875
She would literally tell me, direct me where to go.

00:04:43.235 --> 00:04:50.225
So I wanted to talk a little bit about the fear and the reason why people get stuck when they start doing this work.

00:04:50.435 --> 00:04:56.495
And the biggest fear that I've heard as I've taught others how to channel is, what if I channel something dark?

00:04:56.824 --> 00:04:58.175
What if I lose control?

00:04:58.175 --> 00:04:59.824
What if something takes over me?

00:05:00.305 --> 00:05:04.415
And I wanna say that I understand because I've had those fears myself.

00:05:05.805 --> 00:05:10.995
And I, and I guess they come from the media and stories, but here is the truth.

00:05:10.995 --> 00:05:14.894
Fear disconnects you, love connects you.

00:05:15.014 --> 00:05:15.254
Okay?

00:05:15.254 --> 00:05:21.644
When you are grounded, present, and connected to love, you are not opening yourself to something harmful.

00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:28.334
You pulling in the energy of your own soul, your high self, the universe, and as you start developing that.

00:05:28.634 --> 00:05:38.264
Other like-minded, intelligent beings come to share wisdom, to uplift you and to help you in sometimes the big things in life, but also the very small meaningful things.

00:05:38.654 --> 00:05:49.454
Okay, they may seem significant or insignificant, but to you, every life experience that you go through to have that positive influence and that right support makes all the difference.

00:05:49.725 --> 00:05:53.415
So I wanna just say, I didn't wake up being born to do this.

00:05:53.415 --> 00:05:55.425
I had the foundation first.

00:05:55.725 --> 00:05:57.105
So if you're listening to this.

00:05:57.449 --> 00:06:01.620
And you are thinking, okay, I feel something here, but where do I start?

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:03.569
Let me make this really simple for you.

00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:07.029
The first step is to learn to work with energy.

00:06:07.509 --> 00:06:16.959
That's why I always start with reiki, because Reiki teaches you how to channel energy safely and consciously before you ever try to channel.

00:06:17.375 --> 00:06:19.324
It grounds you, it builds trust.

00:06:19.685 --> 00:06:29.045
And then from there you can try something simple like automatic writing and you can ask yourself, what does love want me to know right now?

00:06:29.074 --> 00:06:31.894
Or what does my highest self want me to know?

00:06:31.894 --> 00:06:33.964
Right, right now, don't overthink it.

00:06:33.964 --> 00:06:34.654
Don't filter it.

00:06:34.654 --> 00:06:36.754
Just write down the first thing that comes through.

00:06:37.444 --> 00:06:42.454
So if you can take one thing from this episode, let it be this.

00:06:42.865 --> 00:06:45.745
Channeling is not about losing yourself.

00:06:45.805 --> 00:06:49.764
It's about learning to allow more of who you are.

00:06:50.064 --> 00:06:53.964
And if you're feeling called to develop this further, then you're in luck.

00:06:54.144 --> 00:07:10.975
I share exactly how this works in my free training where I'll walk you through the foundations of energy intuition and how it creates the beautiful pathway to open up into channeling in a really grounded, practical, and certified way.

00:07:11.024 --> 00:07:13.634
And if this opened up something for you, the next.

00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:20.389
Episode that I recommend you listening to is how to strengthen your intuition, three simple Daily Practices.

00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:25.279
Because once you see it, you won't be able to unsee it.

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:36.560
So I hope this is inspired an interest for you to develop more about the beautiful ways that you can connect with Spirit, and I'll see you in the next episode.

00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:37.490
Bye for now.
