About Mediumship and Channeling

My answer:

“If it feels like energy taking over your body, then I would say you a medium and are channeling. It’s possible that you are also sometimes “trance channeling.” 

There are many individuals who channel energy, most have entities speaking, writing or painting through them, with a smaller number that perform healing and psychic surgeries (directed by the entities/energy moving through them).”

1. Conscious Channeling is where the medium maintains conscious awareness of what is happening but allows another entity to bring messages or healing energy through his or her body. The channel is free to edit the information coming through them or to end the session when or if they feel uncomfortable with what is being offered. Examples of conscious channelers that allow entities to speak or write through them:
   • Esther Hicks, channels Abraham
   • Lee Carroll channels Kryon
   • JZ Knight channels Ramatha
2. Trance Channeling is where a medium allows an outside entity to take control of their body as an instrument for communication or healing. While trance channeling, the medium typically has no knowledge or recollection afterwards of what has transpired. He or she simply “steps aside” and then returns when the body is fatigued or when the session is over. It is highly suggested that when exploring this type of channeling that beginners find a seasoned mentor to work with as there is a danger of allowing in negative entities. Examples of trance channelers:
   • Edgar Cayce – channeling the akashic records and universal consciousness.
   • Stephen Turoff: Performs healing and psychic surgeries
   • João Teixeira de Faria (John of God) – Entities move through him to perform psychic surgeries and procedures. It is said that he channels more than 30 entities.
3. Automatic Writing, Painting or Muscianship – The medium or channel allows their body, while conscious or in trance, to serve as a vehicle for the entity to write or create through. Examples:
   • • Valdelice Da Silva Dias Salum, an artist that channels deceased painters
     • Rosemary Brown, a composer and medium who channeled dead composers.
     • Seth material by Jane Roberts
     • A Course In Miracles a book by Helen Schucman said to be channeled from Jesus
