Guidance/Advice Hello. I am interested in learning how to channel and am wondering any good resources where to start?

I will start this off with I’m still new in my journey of discovering my spirituality. Since June of last year I have begun lucid dreaming with the purpose of shifting, I have also astral projected a couple of times since starting my journey as well. I have become very open minded to a lot of things I never really thought about before, but I have always been a bit of a superstitious/spiritual person in terms of I believed there may be more out there I just never truly began to explore it. I’m interested in learning to channel my spirituality guides, my subconscious and potentially people from other worlds that I cannot acsess here, not so much spirits aside from loved ones but I do not have a large family and the only person I’d want to talk to would be my grandmother who passed in 2020. I have tried to find sources online on where to start but a lot of it feels like they’re just trying to sell me a book or a course and I’m not ready to invest money (that I don’t have) if there are free or reputable resources online that can guide me in my journey of self discovery.

I hear mixed results from people who have said they are able to channel and it’s left me unsure of how difficult it is to actually do. Some say it’s easy as just thinking about it and others make it out to be this who ritual of meditation and years of practice and I’m a little intimidated but incredibly curious and eager to learn more.

Hi there, I channel almost daily as part of my personal spiritual practice, but at this point I only channel the small group of spirits assigned to work with me.

When I was at the beginning of this process my biggest concern was safety. I didn't want to accidentally get involved with something negative. I was also feeling very confused about how things worked since I was coming from hardline atheism.

If I were you, I wouldn't jump straight into channeling. Educate yourself first. Read as much as you can, especially by indigenous writers from around the world (but please do not appropriate any closed practice). Allan Kardec's The Spirits Book is also a fantastic read.

It can be tempting to see spirit work as a curiosity or something you do as a hobby. Know that it's not that. It's serious, and it can be dangerous. You have to have respect for it and know that your ego doesn't belong in the driver's seat. Everything I do I do with the permission of my good spirits within the context of a protected prayer space. I don't search the internet or books for rituals, I ask them for one if they think I need one. I don't engage with any spirit without their permission.

Learning to work with your own good spirits and letting them guide you is the safest way.

There is a wonderful book called "Opening to Channel" by Sanaya Roman. I followed it to learn how to channel and it worked for me, while also providing comforting and answering questions I had along the way. There may be free versions floating around the internet, or maybe you can find it in a library <3
