Let me guess – you’ve tried to meditate, and it just didn’t quite land. You sit down, close your eyes, and suddenly your mind starts bouncing all over the place. Your to-do list shows up. That awkward conversation from three days ago? And before you know it, you’re thinking about what to have for dinner.
I hear this all the time – “I can’t meditate. I can’t switch my brain off.” If that’s you, please know this: you’re not alone, and you’re not necessarily doing it wrong. Meditation is a beautiful practice, but for many people, especially those with busy minds or emotional turbulence, it can feel frustrating and even disheartening. The pressure to be perfectly still and silent can sometimes create even more noise!
That’s where channelling can come in.
What if instead of quieting the mind, you gave it something higher to tune into?
Channelling is a different kind of practice – one that invites you to open up and receive rather than just observe or empty-out. Instead of trying to silence your thoughts, channelling shifts your focus to “connection”. You’re allowing energy, guidance, and wisdom to flow through you, and rather than turning inward – you turn towards an external higher consciousness. From this place there isn’t much room for the monkey mind to chat away.
It can feel lighter, more creative, more aligned.
My Daily Practice
Every day, I make an appointment with myself and with my team of light. It’s a sacred little window of time where I tune in and connect. I start with meditation, simply becomming aware of my body and my mind, I don’t force silence. I just listen.
Then I set an intention to open to the light. I allow myself to slip into a channeled state, where I receive healing energy, guidance, or messages from higher consciousness. In my mind’s eye, I often visualise white light flowing into my hands, heart, and head. I surrender, and let it move through me.
I believe that your body does not contain the soul, but rather the body is contained within the soul. Channelling feels like coming home to myself – and beyond myself.
Channelling has become part of everything I do. It weaves into my energy healing work, it flows through me when I speak light language, and it guides me when I create my artwork. It’s not about being special or chosen. It’s simply about being open.
Why Channeling Might Work Better for You
If you’ve struggled with meditation, it might be because your mind isn’t wired for stillness – but it is wired for connection.
Channelling gives your awareness something to reach for. It allows movement – energy flowing in and out. You don’t need to be silent, you just need to be present and willing. You can set an intention, ask for healing, or guidance, or clarity on as aspect of yourself or your life. You might feel sensations, receive answers, or simply feel more peaceful and clear. Pay attention to images, symbols and colours that you receive in your minds eye.
It’s not about doing it “right.” It’s about showing up and allowing something greater to meet you there.
If this speaks to you, maybe it’s time to shift the way you think about meditation. You don’t have to force yourself into silence. Try meeting yourself – and the light around you – in a different way. Remember, if quieting the mind feels like a challenge, you’re definitely not alone. Many people struggle with traditional meditation – but that doesn’t have to mean you’re doing it wrong. It just means you might need a new approach.
Whether you’re drawn to meditation or channeling (or a mix of both), I recommend keeping it simple: instead of a long session, try shorter sessions, practiced more often. Even just 10 minutes a session or moments of intentional stillness or connection can shift your energy and mindset in powerful ways.
