Prologue
It has been a long time in the making, this whole business of opening my vocal channel. Who would have thought such a seemingly simple thing —relative to a Kundalini awakening in itself, learning to consciously shift into and out of Earth space, the work with the crystals and gaining the cooperation of the elemental realm!— would be such a challenge. One day I will see more clearly than I do at present why the voice ( hopefully trance ) channeling had to come last in this series of events. At the moment I glean only bits and am mostly just happy it is ( or seems ) to be finally happening. I am feeling the same call and draw to it now that I have felt from day one with the crystal. Which I somehow was able to observe happening and dive into with full force. As my life allowed, that is. What I began feeling first, roughly a month ago, is to re-immerse myself in my previous more formal meditation ritual. This has been very easy for me to accommodate.
At near the same time, I am beginning to have feedback from my dream state activity that is relative to the vocal channeling. Not just instruction but I can see the beings are beginning to circle me for this purpose. I then began to realize, or suspect, or think to myself that I am not really that familiar with exactly how to PRACTICE vocal channeling. And that it would be much more helpful to me to approach it this way, just as in any of my other practices that are specifically spiritual disciplines. So I am reaching out to a person/teacher/channeler I feel deeply aligned with due to the unconditional nature of their work, Carla Reuckert, who is no longer on the planet with us but who left a wealth of material on learning to channel as a practice. I am in study mode by day and by night am applying to my practice what I have learned. I also have the very fun feeling rising up in me to join a channeling group. Which I will begin looking into today, just as soon as I finish posting this article. A local group that meets in person is what I feel drawn to.
I am learning ( and very wonderfully feeling! ) exactly how close the beings are to me at this point. If I ask a question the flow can immediately begin coming through. Not always, sometimes I am still blocking it, but often enough that it is getting my attention. In meditations my conversation with those here with me is beginning to be even more tactile than it usually it. The felt presence is acute, and just that much more physically felt. I had asked for a tactile sign that the beings are here and the channeling is about to begin. I received that tactile sensation just last night. It is not what I had suggested, a fingertip touching my own, what has been chosen is far more grand. It is a heart-space behind my own that presses forward into me; a merging of hearts. How wonderful -and ever so much more clever a sign! I aim to run with this.
As to the “why”, or reasons behind the voice channeling not beginning until now, I am seeing a few things. The first is my tendency toward opening WIDE without boundaries. Toward being and emulating a fully open system. Together with the inclination, or bent away from challenging others. The way I have carefully measured my capacity previously, with regard to others has been to in a sense sequester myself from them. I say “in a sense” because it is only in a physical sense that I do this. Not in an energetic, or awareness sense. In these ways I have always been all inclusive. But I would keep my physical person in a significant sense out of reach. With the voice channeling this will not be possible. I am quite literally inviting higher information and energy flows ( some of which are quite embodied ) in and through me- mind, breath and body. So I understand I have some learning and reconfiguring to do in this regard. And!, which is occurring in real time with the go-button already pressed. The experience that follows is such an example.
