Josh Williams Psychic & Spiritual Wisdom: Becoming A Clear Life Energy Channel

Many of us hear terms like 'energy healing', 'light work', 'energy channel' and so forth. We know that people who are fortunate enough to hold these blessings are able to direct pure life energy for healing, manifesting goals and personal empowerment. But how do people get this gift and what do they do to keep it?

In this article, we'll explore some simple ideas to help you become a channel for Divine and cosmic energy in your own life. Some previous knowledge of energy, energy healing and energy channeling will be helpful in reading, understanding and working with the offerings of this article as we will not cover fundamental energy work basics- but get straight to personal channel opening.

If you'd like some fundamental exploration of Energy & Light Work, please check out this article: Exploring Energy Work by Josh Williams!

How Energy Channeling Works

Life energy is everywhere. It is the matrix and substratum of the entirety of the manifest reality. Because we are immersed in it and made of it- we have unrestricted access to it anytime we need it. As we know, the underlying source of many emotional, mental and physical issues is rooted in the energetic field before it manifests as a physical problem. We also understand that obstacles, reactions, progress and general life journey manifestations are empowered by this same life energy. So it goes without saying, that to tap this power for ones self is to live in better balance, harmony and spiritual progress! Step out of the common practice of blocking life energy! We do this by thinking we can run the show best as we micro-manage and obsess. Let go and let the All-Knowing flow through you in the form of life-affirming, conscious energy!

Because energy is all around us, channeling is really very simple. It requires only that we learn to be sensitive to the presence of life energy around us, sensitive to the flow of energy within our own field and then learn how to become a conduit for life energy to flow through us.

As we move forward with these basic techniques- think of yourself as a wire. The wire is not electric itself- it simply taps into the source of energy and channels it to the destination. You are NOT the do-er, magician or healer. You are a catalyst for this sacred work to take place. Keeping this in mind protects you from ego inflation AND taking on stuff from those you serve that you really don't want to deal with :)

In energy channeling- we open our clean and harmonized personal flow up to act as a wire; channeling pure energy into the field or lives of those we serve- or into our own lives!

Feel The Limitless Force!

Step one in becoming a clear channel for life energy is simply to know it is there. What follows, again, are some basic exercises to help you experience the presence and uniquely subtle power of life energy. It matters not where or when you do these exercises as energy is omni-present.

Sitting comfortably- place open palms facing one another about 10" in front of your body and keep them about a foot apart. In rhythm with deep, methodical breathing, begin moving them towards and away from each other by about 1". Imagine a ball of light beginning to glow between them. Every few minutes, bring them even close and repeat the 1" wave. As they come closer together, see the ball in your minds eye as becoming denser, brighter and as having a vibrating quality. Once your ball is about the size of a softball- visualize yourself in the ball enjoying something you'd like in your life (abundance, healing, joy, love, etc.) and toss the ball up into the cosmos!

Place your left hand on the ground or in the air while sitting. Place your right palm gently (almost no pressure) against the space between your navel and your sternum. Focus 100% of your attention on the palm of your right hand. See it in your minds eye, feel it, connect with it... focus on nothing but the right palm. You may feel a buzz or subtle vibration begin. Increase the intensity by seeing pure light/energy flowing in from the universe through your left palm down your left arm, through your heart center and out your right palm. This is a mild version of channeling energy!

Place both palms on your body- anywhere you like. Now, try to focus on both palms at the same time. See an invisible cord of energy running under the skin connecting each palm. Run this 'jumper cable' until you feel the energetic flow moving through it

For more great exercises, there are tons of great websites online showing some cool techniques. I also like showing those I teach Qi-Gong videos on YouTube.com for some simple practices to feel the vibe!

Feel The Force Within!

After spending some time practicing the techniques above, you'll soon learn for yourself the unique and amazing sensation of life energy, and will likely begin to feel it throughout the day as you attune to it's presence. Practice makes perfect!

Once you are comfortable with the feel of energy both from its physical manifestations and its intuitive manifestations, its time to start exploring the flow of energy within yourself.

There is one technique I find most beneficial in teaching this method because it is safe, non-aggressive and simply works to move energy around in a way that lets you experience it.

Working with the two palms on the body technique as described above, imagine pulling energy from your body with your left palm... feel it flow up the left arm, across the heart center, down the right arm and out the right palm. Try this in several places. You will have success when you not only feel the vibration in your hand- but also in your body in the area of each hand. For help in getting the flow started, use the thumb of one hand to massage and 'pump' the palm of the other

As a slightly more advanced and intuitive-based technique, try this without making physical contact. Keep your palms about 3" away from the body and try to first 'sense' the energy of your field, then connect to it, then channel and move it around

Try this same 'sensing and moving' technique with pets, houseplants and willing humans!

Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows

Now that you have some basic understanding and experience with energy work, I'd like to encourage you to explore it more in ways that are comfortable for you. At this end of this article I'll suggest a few books that might be great tools for you- but in the meantime, try some of these exercises:

With a willing human partner, preferably someone you are involved in a love-based relationship with, practice creating a ball and handing it back and forth. Then, allow one of the participants to absorb the ball into their navel region. Do it again and let the other person have a turn!

If you feel pain, try placing the left palm over the painful area and aiming the right palm at the ground. Draw out the perceived toxic vibrations and see them ground into the earth

If you feel tired, spend a few moments consciously bringing in life energy through deep, slow breaths. See it coming in with your mind's eye, and see fatigue and spent energy leaving with your exhalation

To tap deeper into your personal energy flow signature, grab an inanimate object like a rock, piece of cloth or favorite pen. Holding it between both palms, imagine 'singing' it with your personal energy by channeling it through the object. Leave it until the next day, come back and try to 'sense' the new vibration of the object. This will help you learn how your personal energy work style feels!

Practice with infusing items with your personal energy AND with infusing them with general cosmic energy. Try to learn the difference and perceive what your energy signature feels like.

Turning Off The Tap

Sometimes, energy flow started is hard to stop! It's our nature to process energy- but until we become advanced att his work it's a good idea to stop the working-based flow once we've finished our exploration. Here are a few techniques to calm the flow and get grounded:

Hold both palms facing outward while feeling and intuitively sensing the flow slowing, then stopping. Clap your hands three times to seal your field and cut off from any non-grounded energies that may have been created

Wash your hands under cool water to slow down the flow of energy- cool is constricting, hot is expanding

Create loose and loving fists to hold the energy in and slowly pull it back into your own system and away from the external flow

Place your palms on the bare earth (soil, grass, stone, etc.) and feel all excess energy being drained off by the earth while the flow from your hands slowly closes

Rub sea salt, baking soda or epsom salts between your palms to stop the flow and get grounded. Toss the salt from your palms onto the bare earth, down a toilet or down a drain

Own It!

Like all things spiritual- your experience and abilities with energy and light work will be unique and personal. I write this article to offer you cosmic permission to begin safely and slowly exploring this work and learning what it is for you. Don't be afraid to experience the deeper flow of life! Most energy work techniques will not harm or hurt you unless carried out by someone who knows how to do that. Most of what you can do by yourself intuitively will be perfectly safe and at worst will just require one or two of the grounding exercises mentioned above. Feel free and confident to tap into this wonderful blessing and add it to your toolbox of spiritual blessings received!
