When you are able to allow, you become a channel. That sounds simple enough—until you really sit with what allowing actually requires.
If you can wait to make a consequential decision until you are no longer attached to either outcome, that’s when you know you are in a state of allowing. Where there is attachment, there is soul fragmentation. When there is little to no attachment to an outcome, you are allowing. And when you are allowing, you are—by definition—channeling.
When I channel for groups, I think it can sometimes create an expectation of what channeling “should” look like: clear, immediate, and instantaneous. And it is clear and instantaneous in those moments—because that is my agreement with the Guides before the event ever begins.
But when I’m channeling for myself, I have to practice the art of allowing.
Sometimes when I ask a question, the answer comes through immediately. More often than not, it doesn’t. Why? Because channeling moves energy. And sometimes the Guides cannot come through clearly until I have moved the soul fragmentation within me that would bias the answer.
So instead of giving me the answer right away, they show me—through my feelings, my reactions, and my lived experience—what needs to move first. Once I complete that piece of inner work, the answer arrives. This is why patience often makes you a better channel.
You could teach an entire class on allowing. It’s a complex, nuanced topic. Allowing becomes easier the more healing you’ve done, because there are fewer unconscious attachments and fragmentations operating in the background. It also becomes easier when your nervous system feels safe. This is why people who have done substantial healing sometimes experience what they believe is a spontaneous awakening.
This email was inspired by the survey responses I’ve received for Am I a Channel? Many of you are having psychic or otherworldly experiences, but you don’t yet know what they mean—or the information hasn’t fully assembled itself into a clear problem-solution pathway. I want you to know: sometimes that’s exactly how it unfolds.
For those of you having these experiences, a few things are often required. First, you need to honor that you were guided—this alone strengthens the connection. Second, you need to ask for the next piece of information that will complete the picture. That request may require you to first move a soul fragmentation within yourself. Once that happens, the next layer of information can come through. Third, it’s important to express gratitude to the higher-dimensional beings who assisted you, as this also deepens and strengthens the connection.
You repeat this process until clarity arrives.
Ultimately, what this brings you into is a state of allowing—a state of neutrality, where you are no longer attached to a particular outcome. And that state is the channeling state itself.
Metatron has a message about learning to intuit guidance in your experience. In keeping with the convention of our blog, the text in italics below is the directly channeled message as I hear it in my head, verbatim.
Metatron: We want to tell you a funny story about the channel, not because it’s funny, but because it is instructive. She often gets resonance, what you humans often call signs, when she gets into a near fender bender at a parking lot. When she figured out that those were signs from the universe, she was very quick to ask if she could have a less stressful sign from us. To which we promptly replied, we would love to give you better signs except you don’t listen unless it is dramatic.
So, what is the moral of the story? Humans often believe signs are this dramatic thing that roars from the sky on a random Tuesday. Yes, sometimes it does happen that way, but more often than not, it’s the relative resonance of your thoughts, as your thoughts are not as random as you think. When a thought you’re having is making you angry, then a soul fragmentation needs to heal. When a thought you are having comes through neutrally as the channel has explained above, more likely than not, that is guidance. So, all your thoughts come from somewhere. Are they coming from a shadow or are they coming from light? You know where it is coming from based on how you feel. Neutral thoughts are usually guided, and all others are within spectrums of fragmentation.
We want you to know that the channel’s experience is not unusual. Many of you don’t listen unless the sign is the equivalent of a roaring thunderstorm when you are already late. So, be more mindful of your thoughts and signs need not be so dramatic. And, so it is.
P.S. In case you’re worried, I’ve never gotten into an accident because of signs from the universe. I’ve always been safe with the guides—if not a little frazzled.
