How to Channel Messages from Your Spirit Guides and Ancestors

Have you ever felt a comforting presence in an empty room or heard a whisper of guidance when you needed it most? These moments may be your spirit guides or loved ones who have passed, reaching out to support you. In today’s Psychic Game, we’ll explore how to channel messages from these unseen helpers. It’s simpler than you might think and can bring clarity, comfort, and connection to your life. What Does It Mean to Channel? Channeling is the act of opening yourself up to receive information from the spiritual realm. It’s like tuning your inner radio to the right frequency. Spirit guides often come through as wise mentors, offering insights and encouragement, while loved ones may bring messages of love, reassurance, or even a little humor. How to Prepare Yourself for Channeling Before you dive in, it’s important to set the stage. Think of it like inviting a guest into your home—you want the space to feel welcoming and clear. Create a Quiet SpaceFind a spot where you won’t be interrupted. Light a candle or some incense, and keep the lighting soft. Ground YourselfTake a few deep breaths and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth. This keeps you balanced while connecting to higher energies. Set an IntentionBe clear about why you’re channeling. For example, say:“I invite only the highest and most loving energies to communicate with me.” Techniques for Channeling Messages Automatic WritingGrab a notebook and a pen. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and ask your guides or loved ones to share what you need to know. Then, start writing whatever comes to mind—don’t censor yourself. You might be surprised at the clarity that emerges. Meditative ListeningSit quietly and focus on your breath. Ask a question mentally, such as: “What do I need to know about...?” Wait and listen for impressions, words, or images. Sometimes, the answers will feel like your own thoughts, but trust the process—intuition often feels subtle. Write your impressions in a journal. Use a Psychic ToolsUsing Tarot cards is by far my favorite way to connect with anybody's energy - near or far, living or not. Pull a Tarot card while asking your guides for insight or signs from a loved one—it’s amazing how spot-on the messages can be! The Tarot speaks straight to your intuition. You can also use a pendulum or your favorite Oracle deck. Speak Out LoudTry asking questions out loud, then pause and “feel” for the answer. It might come as a thought, an image, or even a physical sensation. I recommend writing those feelings and thoughts down to capture them before they're gone... kind of like a dream. How to Know If It’s Real Many people wonder if they’re just imagining things. Here’s the deal: authentic messages often feel uplifting, insightful, and sometimes even unexpected. They’re not about fear or negativity; they’re about growth and love. It's okay if you don't know specifically who you're connecting with as long it's a positive experience. I often call my guides "you guys" and I don't get caught up in identifying them. Instead, I'm grateful for their presence and guidance. Same with relatives. Sometimes I can't tell who it is right away, but I keep going and tell them "I'm not sure who you are yet, but I can feel your love and warmth. Show me something that is unique to you." If not right away, I'll get a message or insight as to who reached out and I'll thank them. I always recommend journaling your impressions after each session to create a personal reference library. This not only helps you track patterns and insights but also validates your intuitive progress over time. You'll start to know who you're connecting with based on the personality, words, or images you receive. How do you most commonly receive messages? Everyone is unique.
