Conscious Channeling

[Bring4th_Austin]

You think that smudging with sage before we channel can help as well?

Creating a ritual before channeling will help ready your mind and bring you to a state ready to channel. On top of that, smudging or lighting incense before sessions helps because it creates a consistent smell, so there are no distractions (changes in perception) from that sense. Once you're engulfed by the scent you can forget about it easily, basically.

It's strange because you can still remember talking, but the person talking through you answers in third person. It's not as deep as the trances as Carla goes into when Channeling Ra since she can't remember what is said and Ra is not her higher self.

This also varies from person to person. Some people can remember everything with clarity, some people only remember concepts and themes, and some people don't remember anything. I normally don't remember much at all, and listening to the tape over is like remembering a dream or deja vu.

Does it take time to begin to trust what you're getting?

This is discussed rather in depth in Opening to Channel. Most people have a tough time getting past the idea that it's just themselves. Maybe it is? We can't really prove either way. The mind could work in crazy ways.
