♰ 𓏼 channeling with èlise ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀ㅤ ︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶

what is channeling? channeling is a divination method that can be used for communicating with the energy of your desired person (or their higher self), using divination tools and intuitive energy as a bridge between "realities". much like any other form of divination, channeling is an energy exchange that should not be taken lightly.

divination tools tarot, music (spotify, apple music, etc.), oracle cards, pinterest, dice, bibliomancy, osteomancy, using a pendulum, pretty much every tool you use for divination can be used for channeling someone from your desired reality. 

my personal beliefs based on my experience with channeling, I believe that much like how we evoke our spirit guides ― we are capable of evoking the energy from our desired realities, in similar fashion to communicating with our guides. one thing i resonated with most was something i've read from ﹫shaysplanet regarding how we all are connected through energy and since we exist in every reality, it's likely true that the same goes for people in our desired realities. from my experience, raising my vibrations in regards to my desired reality and self help me become more successful in channeling ― because of the fact im vibrationally aligned with myself there. the veil between “our” reality and “theirs” is VERY THIN, so much so — you’ve likely experienced a “crossover” in your day to day life. (which ill explain)

raising vibrations consuming the media of where you're shifting to, scrolling through your desired reality pinterest boards, listening to songs you associate with yourself, your partner, your life, or your family and friends, daydreaming of scenarios or writing about your experiences in your dr, or even doing things unrelated to your dr that make you happy.

NON-NEGOTIABLES protect yourself!!!!!! spiritual hygiene is the most important thing when it comes to divination, i will give you a few “basic” options of base protection. lighting a white candle, veiling, prayer, imagining a protection shield of white light around you, protections frequencies, bells, asking for protection from your spirt team or trusted deities, crystals or runes with the purpose of protecting. cleansing should be done before AND after a channeling session, cleansing methods also include cleansing frequencies, bells, incense, smoke from your candle, rosemary, palo santo (only of ethically sourced), a warm/hot shower where your envisioning any unwanted energy falling down the drain (focusing on cleaning the area around your head and neck) as well as the soles of your feet and your achilles heels. It is very important that you practice spiritual hygiene, it is important you understand WHAT you’re using, why you’re using it, and what it’s doing for you. so that you can properly use it to aid you. SELF CARE your personal health affects your spiritual health, you need to drink enough water and eat properly!!! channeling is draining, you’re using your intuitive abilities to essentially be a bridge of this reality and “theirs”, it is likely to affect your body in a negative way — but not in a way that’s unavoidable, you’re likely to experience dizziness, fatigue, exhaustion, hunger, headaches, etc. understand when you’re going too far, listen to your body, if it tells you that it can’t handle anymore IT CANT.

the “crossover” it sounds much more complicated than it actually is, but this is worded the best i could. you’ve likely experienced a moment like this, it comes in many forms. de javu of already experiencing something. “downloads” from your dr, which are also known as memories. they can come from the past, present, or future. often showing up when you’re writing scenarios that feel just a little too familiar for it to have been made up in your head. because of the fact shifting is just simply remembering, you’re likely to remember experiences or moments in your dr as if they were any other memory from your life here. they can be triggered by scenes in a show, songs, movies, and more. i refer to it as the crossover due to the fact you’re quite literally experiencing moments from your “alternate self”, i believe this happens when you stumble across “the channel” of your dr (similar to accidentally finding a channel on the radio that plays all your favorite songs!!) you’ve aligned vibrationally and essentially tapped into your alternate consciousness. another form of this is a sickly feeling of familiarity, for a life you know YOU haven’t consciously experienced or a life you don’t presently remember. you yearn for it, whether you notice it or not. much like saying how you wish you were home after spending too long away on vacation.

i would like to know direct the attention towards this post by shaysplanet, she has very good posts when it comes to channeling — and is one of the people who introduced me to the concept of channeling during early shifttok! she takes a more straightforward approach in her explanation, while being thorough and clear cut.

MY CHANNELING ROUTINE even when i do not intend to channel, I practice constant spiritual hygiene. before i decide to open up my space to other energy, i light the candles on my altar (for the deity i honor and worship) as well as a white candle that has a comforting scent. usually before this ive entered a meditative state while listening to music, but i don’t usually meditate in the “typical” way due to the fact i have a horrible time sitting still. stretching, yoga, scrolling through pinterest, writing, all count as states of meditation for me. because during these times my mind is silent, and my focus is on one thing. veiling is my second step, veiling protects my crown chakra from any energy that attempts to stick longer than its welcome. i cleanse my veil with smoke, then slip it onto my head. i put on my jewelry made my other devotees of the goddess i worship, as well as my crystal jewelry and protective pendants that are also “blessed” in a way by the deity for protection. i lay down the blanket i specifically use when doing tarot, and put my playlist on shuffle. my preferred methods are shufflemancies on spotify and pinterest, while using tarot to understand what might not be conveyed through images or song. after a few minutes (usually around 15-30 even if im not actively asking questions but rather interpreting what it means) I will speak out loud that i release all energy that doesn’t belong to me, allowing only what i came in with to stay in my space. specifying that any energy is returned back to the person I “borrowed” it from, before putting my deck away. afterwards i cleaned my hands, my jewelry, my veil, and wash my hands. after washing them, i’ll run my fingers through my hair (paying special attention to the roots and my scalp.) using the smoke from my palo santo to cleanse the back of my neck, and then slowly working my way over each chakra point thoroughly. focusing on my root, third eye, and throat. for extra measures i keep my white candle lit, as well as the candles on my altar until im ready to blow them out or lay down (since i mostly channel at night), as well as spending a few moments walking around my room with my bell and ensuring i get the four corners of my room (top to bottom) so nothing lingers there either. then i allow myself to enjoy a nice treat and extra water, relaxing for the rest of my time awake.

i truly hope this helps!! and i want to remind you that anything regarding divination can be different for everyone. if this does not align with you or your believes, you are not forced to accept it! this is simply for those who don’t understand what channeling is or what precautions to take. if you have any questions my asks and dms are open, but i implore you to do your own research as i’ve done mine and unfortunately cannot share everything i’ve learned over the past few years. by sharing the basics i hope that those who are curious will feel motivated to learn more about the topic before attempting!! this isn’t meant to be taken as if it were the bible to channeling, but rather my experience and what i’ve learned through my journey of divination and shifting.
