7 Steps involved in channelling

7 Steps that are involved in channelling by Chris Stormer:

1) Conception. Recall non-physical experiences, such as an imaginary friend during childhood, seeing unusual deja0vu apparitions or NDE

2) Preparation. B e ready to accept non-physical energies through deep relaxation, meditation and visualization.

3) Gestation. Tune into physical energies of the body and send soothing, loving thoughts to areas of tension or discomfort, noting the effect of non-physical thoughts and emotions.

4) Recognition. Give the vibrancy a name such as essence, Spirit of Life, Universal inspiration or whatever comes to mind.

5) Implementation. Consciously choose to become a channel and invite universal guidance and assistance at all times.

6) Integration. Develop a trusting relationship between the earthly and spiritual energies for the Universal material to be used enthusiastically, beneficially and lucratively through teaching, counseling, painting, writing, healing, ect.

7) Maturation. The total integration of energies for self-actualisation. This is what you need to do inside in order to bring all the other steps together.

Understand & release destructive feelings

You don't realize dreams unless you love yourself. You can't love yourself until you forgive all your perceived imperfections and see beyond. You don't learn to love fully before you realize you have reason to love the innocence in others. If your instinct is to judge or attack, then you have new opportunities to see new purpose in life. Fear is what sets in when you forget how to love. fear is a delusion. You don't fight fear, rather, you turn on the love and extinguish or dissolve the illusion of fear.

Are you unhappy people aren't nice to you? You might interpret their behavior as a call for compassion and love. Only what your own heart is doing determines whether you have peace within. If people seem nasty, aren't you forgetting to love yourself? Everybody loves you, they just don't all know it yet. We have a veil called a personality that hides the loving beings we are. We also fall into the trap of being blinded to the true personalities of others.  Any judgment you have on anyone, is a way to judge yourself and prolong your suffering. You may be saying, what is my mission? What should I do? Learn to use your mind to figure out why you're here.

You can experience clarity. The physical reality is only the level of effect. Consciousness is the level of cause. Changes you make in behavior will only be temporary unless you deal with the thoughts at the basic level. Invite yourself to rethink potentially destructive feelings and decipher them for what they really are. Knowing is a way to remove their power or hold over you. Its not your job to get things, its your job to discern why you create barriers to sensing and learning.

1) Denial: takes form when you fear anything other than what you think you know. Learn to let go by becoming more flexible and open-minded, and accepting that you don't know everything. You want a perfect relationship with whatever you deny yourself. Get comfortable with having whatever you fear not knowing or having.

2) Anger: takes form when your values, principles or beliefs are threatened. Learn to let go by accepting diverse ideas contribute to a wider view. The real matter is learning to see thoughts, expressions and others equally rather than unequally.

3) Annoyance: takes form when you allow yourself to judge and somehow feel discomfort about it. Learn to build self-confidence, to balance inner (spiritual) and outer (physical) world views. This implies transcending visions of hierarchies.

4) Depression: takes form when you give into doubt, lose direction or get wrapped up in what isn't enough or isn't working. Learn to let go by realizing everything happens at exactly the right time and you can learn from it all. You must go within to envision and create the world anew, attracting the experiences you want.

5) Resentment: takes form as reaction to criticism, sarcasm, judgment and control of ego-mind.  Learn to let go by tapping into the healing force of the Universe. Replace harsh impulses with the desire to share kindness, to align your mind with the Universe's forcefield of positive power. Expand on your view of "appropriate."

6) Discomfort: takes form when intolerance or disapproval are permitted to control your mind. Learn to let go by opening your heart, becoming more accepting, and sensing value in other people for who they are and how they think.

7) Hostility: takes form when you refuse to accept some aspect of yourself at soul-level. Learn to let go of the negative eneergy by pinpointing exactly what you don't love inside. Choose to seek within yourself and take down the barriers that prevent you from experiencing love. Realize why you condemn and decide you're worthy. 

8) Sadness: takes form when you sense lack, void, regret, and permit selfishness to prevail. Learn to surrender, celebrate what is, to grasp selflessness, altruism and infinite joy. Take opportunities to forgive people who don't think they deserve it. If you don't choose to love, you can't understand people. You also set them up to fail.

It begins & ends with you

You won't be more successful when you get a new job, find a better relationship, experience a different lifestyle, move to a new city, win the lottery or, stumble upon more reciprocal friendships. Success doesn't come in waiting. It is experienced in becoming aware of your character, accepting who you are, and all you can be.

Don't wait for a situation to make you feel happy or complete or fulfilled. Don't go assuming a single person or opportunity can transform your life. Ask yourself whether you have been accepting people and situations as they are or, is it time for you to embrace change? You're not here to change the world. You're here to remember why you're here. That means, accessing your core self and embracing it.

Success is something you know as you learn to love yourself. It comes through empowerment and recognizing you live your life on your own terms with all the consequences that come with free will.  The truth of the matter is that you go through periods of advancement.  You learn what it means to take two steps forward and three steps back.  You discover the power of love is far greater than the power if fear or the power of anything else you permit to have a hold on you.

Unless your heart is open, unless you are seeking in your own life to move past what you have experienced before, the kinds of people you have permitted to hold you back and the kinds of conditions that muffle your personality, will continue to hold you back.  You will not put yourself in situations where you can manifest and exemplify your most loving potential.  At any given moment, decide whether you will accept people and conditions with an open, forgiving heart.
