I am often asked about how best someone can start to channel their guide. As a channel myself and a teacher of channelling for the last 16 years I hope I can offer you a few tips on learning to channel.

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.
