Why would you choose to become a channel?

As I entered the world of Spirituality and began my journey with baby steps, I was invited to participate in a meditation class. Here I learned to still my frantic mind and reach into the depths of me to find strength that I never knew I had.

Continuing this class for many months, the teacher decided to move us forward and into automatic writing. She explained that we would hear names of Guides and Others and we would write what they were asking us to write.

It took some time, but I met my Master Guide during a guided meditation. We were instructed to walk down a path and into a clearing where there would be a building of some sort. My mind wandered casually through the meditation trusting something miraculous was going to happen. And then, it did!

I, who did not see things that others saw so easily, was dumbfounded. There was a wizened old man in white robes standing inside of a gazebo and sending me love. Tears, of course, came to my eyes as I came to the realization that this was somehow going to change my life. I called him Armadeus as that is what I thought I heard. I learned later, that it was Amadeus as in Mozart.

Why? Why me? Why did I meet him? Where were we going with this new figment of my imagination? I was instructed to write with him. I was to meditate each morning with my notebook and pen nearby. I did so. After my mind quieted itself, I heard words in this crazy head of mine. I was being told by Amadeus to trust, trust, trust. “Trust what you are hearing and write it down”, I heard. OK, this is what I was supposed to be learning and being the “good” student, I did just that.

The following day, before meditation, I read what I had written. To my amazement, it was verbiage that I don’t normally use. Who talks like that? I wondered. It was then that the slow realization of what I had been taught had actually become a part of the voices in my head. I had never heard them before. I had been too busy in my everyday life to hear them. I had to be taught to ‘stop and smell the roses’ so to speak. I had heard that term, but had never slowed down. I just kept living life and loving those around me.

Now, I was being taught to love the ‘me’ in me. Yes, with conviction I was beginning to see what my life lessons were about. I had stepped into the spiritual community and found it to be the beginning of the rest of my life.

The next step in my classes took me to a place I had never heard of before. I was being asked to verbalize what was in my head. How could the instructor do that? I wondered.

Quietly and patiently I continued my classes. One night after the instructor had begun the class and channeled her message; I opened my mouth and struggled to get out, “It is I, Armadeus”. I was using the name I thought I had been given in my meditation many weeks before. There was a strange accent and I was not comfortable with it so I spoke slowly and with difficulty.

Me! I had channeled! I had been diligent and it had paid off in ways I would not understand for a long time. I continued to channel after meditation and other voices joined in. I brought in Justine, Nostradamus, Mother Theresa, and others. Oh yes! The little fairy who calls herself Mathilda with an ‘H’! They all like to introduce themselves. I do know of other channels that do not get names, so it is in the energy of the channel and their higher self that one gets their direction from Spirit.

After more than six years of channeling the Spirit of Amadeus, I gave a presentation at the School of Multidimensional Healing Holistic Faire. A young boy in the audience asked why Amadeus’ sister was not as gifted as he. Amadeus spoke and revealed he had blocked the energy of his older sister so that he could gain fame and fortune. Following that exchange, a man in the back row, asked Amadeus if he was the younger brother to the channel, me, in that lifetime. I heard then that he was and that he had come to help me in this lifetime achieve my life plan and to heal the Karma between us.

Karma?  What is Karma? The way I have come to understand it is that when we do something in a past or current life that is not in the best interest of all and of pure love, we return to heal it. Some return to the same circle of souls they had been with in their past life and yet, some remain on the other side as Amadeus did and do their work from there. Healing is crucial to moving forward in your current lifetime.

In closing, I wish to answer the question in the title. “Why Would you Choose to Become a Channel?” I did not set out with the intention in my consciousness to channel. It was in my sub-conscious and my life followed a path that led me to this part of my journey. By channeling, I have taught myself of the great love and respect I must show myself and others. The messages brought forth in my writings have helped me find peace in my solar-plexis that defies any calm I have ever felt before. Now, I have sessions with others to assist them with healing by bringing forth messages from the other side.

It is for you to decide if you wish for this to be your path. You may gravitate  to channel verbally for others or you may choose to only write with your Guides and Others. Whatever you choose, know you are loved.

Go in love, light and laughter for Eternity!
