Channeling is conducted through a higher state of consciousness.
People who channel claim to be communicating with angels, spirits, deities and demons.
The person claiming to do the channeling allows the entity to take over control of the body and use the vocal chords.
Some channelers recieve information via visions.
Channeling focuses on passing on information such as teachings.
Channeling become well known around the 1970's with the publication of books by Jane Roberts.
Sad to say most people who think they are channeling are probably only drawing on their own subconscious.
However there are a few gifted people in this field who are genuine channelers.
