Yes. My question is always. Is this for the highest good of all. Is this pure unconditional love? I have to hear a resounding and very strong YES> nothing else. or it has not place in my field. :) so important. I also call in a sacred circle to be held by love before channeling. (7 directions (north, south, east, west, above, below, within. i'm held by all that is... a part of everything. with spirit connecting all like a whooshy spiral.) i also wear an blue seeing eye with the intention : only love can pass through, anything else is simply reflected away (I see a discoball hahah) sparkle sparkle.

some people call it an evil eye but i don't see that at all. it just sees all that is. and some isn't so lovely hahaha. i've found it shockingly helpful. May we be held in perfect love to bring in messages for the highest good of all. Glad to have you doing this work. it's so important. I really see it as giving the voiceless ones a voice. We can all do it but so many people can't hear the quiet as they are tuned into the loud.

Hey Colin, I completely forgot that something like this could happen. How do you close down after a channeling session?

Hey Karen. You say the words to close your channel and mention the phrase about all energies leaving.

Navigating this area can be quite complex. I've had moments that some might describe as channeling, but it's a rare experience for me. It often depends on the nature of the connection — in internal family systems, there's a concept around entity attachment that sparks a lot of debates within psychotherapy. Having undergone hypnosis training, I understand how deep trance work can bring up various challenging elements. However, entering a hypnotic state doesn’t necessarily mean you’re connecting with universal energies or spiritual beings; sometimes, what arises may be aspects of our own psyche. These elements, such as introjects and exiles, play important roles in our psychological landscape and in the journey of integration. There’s insightful literature on this by Robert Falconer, a disciple of Richard Schwartz, and his YouTube videos are also worth exploring.

I approach these subjects with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially after encountering individuals in the field who may not have the best intentions. There are claims like “I can remove this entity attachment,” which can sometimes merely mask unresolved childhood trauma. On the other hand, I’ve seen experiences that tread into deeper, more intense territory, and it's crucial to approach such realms with caution.

It’s truly meaningful when someone recognizes and validates your suffering. The placebo effect is a testament to the power of belief—if it leads to less pain and suffering, then perhaps there's value in that. Yet, I remain cautious about unlicensed mental health professionals who may lean toward new age concepts rather than established therapeutic practices, as there can be a lot of misleading information out there. I find comfort and trust in my own understanding of myself, my system, body, and soul, more so than in any healer or shaman. Everyone’s journey is different, of course.

As for my personal experiences, I’ll keep those to myself for now. I’ll just say that when I feel that channel open—especially as a highly sensitive person—it's a profound experience that can be enhanced by substances like ketamine. My moments of channeling are for my own well-being, and I choose to share them with others only when it truly feels appropriate.

I love this article Colin 🙏😊 In the quantum hypnosis session I did a few months ago, we found an energy attached to my upper back area. It was removed during the session and I couldn’t believe how different I felt afterwards. This is so real and can be easy to dismiss as simply physical ailments. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏

Thank you Darcy. Yes, it is very real. Thanks for sharing your own experience. I wonder how many other people are affected this way but don't know. Do you connect to a channel?

I’ve never connected to a channel. I’m not sure how I picked up that energy being that was attached to me but it was very real and eye opening. And the difference once it was removed was so noticeable. Like you described, it was like an open space and I felt lighter.

That's really interesting Darcy. I will have to look into that more and see if it is normal to get energy suckers without doing any kind of channeling.

Loved reading this. So much value in understanding how to properly channel. I think for someone who sits with clients each day, it is useful to know how to release that energy as well. Thank you, Colin!

You're welcome and thank you Lily. It really is so important for you to release than energy and not absorb it yourself. Thanks again :-)

I didn't know that this can happen.

There are times when I feel so overwhelmed that my inspiration and creativity disappear, and my physical energy gets compromised as well.

It's good that you've found someone to help in those times.

Do you use these words each time you write?

Colin Durrant's avatar

Whenever I connect to my channel then yes, I use those words. I have to raise my vibration and energy and also quieten my mind. All this helps with overwhelm etc and feeling grounded again. You have to slow down for inspiration and creativity to come to you. You can’t force it.

Often I rigidly try to force my inspiration and creativity to appear by using a timetable but it never works.

Nope. I find choosing the best time of day is important. Normally the early morning or late int he evening.

I've learned to create anchors so that my body can become a sacred space...and yesterday I learned to set extremely specific instructions (even about the time) for which I can meet these entities. My shamanism teacher is so so particular about it. And I need to update that intention every week too. Or as soon as things change.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks Shruthi. Asking better questions is something I have learnt.

I got sick with what i thought was a cold, a cough and a bit of flu to boot. ⬅️ Bro, I knew something wasn't right when you were sick recently. I juz can sense that your energy was very low. I mean we are twin, when you don't feel good, my energy probably would be kinda low too.

Now, I think I must check in on you periodically, so that you can avoid any energy sucker.

Sending you lots of love n light plus tons of hug! 💕✨️🤗🌻
