I feel compelled to write to you today to thank you for the most wondrous weekend – feel free to use this as a testimonial too.

Every so often in life, you get blessed with a software upgrade and I really feel Tom v3.0 got installed this weekend. Eternal thanks for being catalysts in that process.

I’ve done quite a bit of development work but I have never experienced it with this level of professionalism combined with such a warm welcome in such wonderful surroundings. You have created such an amazingly blessed space.

One of the biggest surprises I got this weekend though was how connecting with your guide was so therapeutic. The transformations all around were astounding – as well as being instant and lasting. What a lovely group of souls you attracted.

Keep shining and spreading the Unlimited Light and looking forward to the next upgrade.

luv, luk and lux

Here are my top five tips for becoming a clear channel for the highest possible spirit guide.

1. Relax! Connecting with your guide is not as difficult as you think. If you are tense and trying too hard it is difficult to get into the right frame of mind for connecting with your guide. Let go of fear, tension, worry and anxiety about channelling your guide. Channelling is a natural and easy.

2. You are probably already channelling. This may sound surprising, but most people I work with are already connecting with their guide. Think about times when you found the words just coming out your mouth without even thinking about it. Words that were exactly what the other person needed to hear at that moment. When you are with someone who needs help or guidance your guide is usually with you. Guides are loving and wise and they want to help others, so they find a way to put the ideas into your mind and the words into your mouth.

3. Learn to meditate. If you do not already meditate, then now is the ideal time to begin. When you are in a light meditative state it is easiest to connect with and channel your guide. We do not teach deep trance states as a way of connecting, instead we focus on being calm, open and receptive. A light meditative state is the way into these ways of being.

4. Many of our students are concerned that they might connect with an entity that is not focused on their highest good or the highest good of those they are with. The key to this is to set your intention to only connect to the highest possible guide every time you set your self up to channel. If this is your concern then you can also use our techniques for psychic protection (click on the products section on the bar at the top of the page and then onto the psychic protection category on the right). We have two lovely channelled meditations that you can use to set up the highest light energy to protect you day and night. We have also recorded meditations for clearing negative energy and for connecting with your guide based on the meditations given in Lita de Alberdi’s book on channelling.

5. Read Lita de Alberdi’s book, Channelling: What it is and how to do it. This little book if full of information about channelling based on years of channelling and teaching channelling. It has been in print since it was first published and has just recently been translated into Dutch. Not only is there a lot in the book about guides and connecting with guides but there are lots of very practical exercises that you can follow directly from it to help you to connect with your guide. There is information on chakras, the aura, psychic protection, guides, meditation and lots more in the book.

When I first channelled Iskera I found the experience deeply moving and I was unable to hold the frequency of the guide for more than about five minutes. My partner asked Iskera about the purpose of our work together and at that point I lost it. I cried and shook uncontrollably for several minutes afterwards – the physical impact of the energy of the guide was much stronger than I had expected and I had to readjust my energy to accommodate it. The guide too has to adjust to the experience of the material world via the channel and this can take some time.

The information is transmitted in pulses and these can be very concentrated and challenging to unscramble at first. The main thing was the unconditional love and acceptance that channelling opened me up to. This conscious connection with Iskera was made using some of the techniques channelled by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer and which we now incorporate in our Opening to Channel classes. Sanaya and Duane’s work has had a profound effect on my own spiritual development, Sanaya channels a guide called Orin and Duane channels a guide called DaBen. I read all of Sanaya’s books and found them uplifting and very useful.

I started to use the techniques in the Opening to Channel book but I wasn’t always sure whether it was me or my guide when I channelled. I now realise that this is a very common problem at the beginning of conscious channelling. This sort of channelling is where the channel is aware of what is going on. Up till then I had little or now awareness of what I was saying whilst I was connected with the higher realms, their techniques enabled me to develop as a conscious channel.

My work with my present guide Ortan began when my great friend, spiritual brother and teacher was dying of cancer. We had known each other for many years. At that time I was channelling Iskera. This gentle and lovely guide stayed with me throughout the period of my friend’s dying and death and assisted me and others in coping with the funeral. At this point Iskera’s work with me was done. On the evening of my friend’s funeral, I went out into the garden of the house where he had died to watch the sunset. I was accompanied by his partner and his sister. I squatted in the garden and watched the sun, as it faded I became strongly aware of Iskera and saw my friend’s soul as a star speeding across the sky, Iskera explained that he was now free to rise through the planes. Iskera also explained that now our work together was done. It was very sad and I felt such a great sense of loss. I had lost my dearest friend and now I was also losing my dearly loved guide.

Soon I began to channel Ortan. He explained that now it was my time to begin to teach, he was a teacher guide and this would be our work together. At this point I realised that I now had to give up my ‘normal’ life and commit fully to my spiritual path. This was when I started to teach spiritual growth and development classes, meditation classes and so on. My focus with Ortan since then has been on teaching channelling and Awakening the Light Body classes as well as classes for those with fully awakened Light Bodies. Recently, Ortan and I have connected very strongly with the Angelic Kingdoms and I have channelled some really moving meditations for developing that Angelic connection. This connection has been such a gift for me, as it follows on from my childhood experiences with the angels and develops this beautiful relationship.

It was a big surprise when Ortan began bringing through the series of classes on Ascension. At first I thought there was just one class, but more soon followed and we are still bringing new work through as the earth vibrations change in preparation for 2012 and 2025.

My experience of Ortan is as a very loving, wise and compassionate being. When I channel him I am acutely aware of how incredibly loving he is, he stresses the importance of love very frequently, both self love and love for others. He and I have worked so closely now for so long that I feel almost a part of him, but he continually surprises me when we work with those who come for readings with him.
Over the years I have been privileged to give many readings to people, each reading we give is completely individual and I can never predict what will happen. When I am channelling Ortan for these readings I am in a state of meditation, I move into a place of deep, deep peace and harmony and although I am have some awareness of what is being said, I feel little interest in it. After readings it is rather like having had a dream, so that immediately afterwards I can remember what was said, but as time passes the experience fades. I prefer it to be like this as I do not want to carry other people’s problems and issues about with me, and also their dialogue was with Ortan and not with me, I am just the means by which he is able to communicate with the people we work with. I do not monitor what is said as by now I know I can trust Ortan’s tact, loving heart, gentleness and sensitivity to ensure that the person coming for the reading is taken care of, probably better than I could ever do.
