Get On the Beam – How to Become a Clear Channel

Have you heard the Peace Prayer of Saint Francis that starts with “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace”? That’s part of what channeling means to me.

It’s allowing Source, The Universe, our Higher Self and Teams of Divine Helpers to speak to and work through us. It’s about receiving Guidance and co-creating.

For that to happen, it’s important to be a clear channel.

This is as true when

• I’m inviting a painting to be created through me as it is
• when I’m tuning into my intuition to take the next inspired action or
• receiving one of my long vision sequences for a Divine Storytelling Time intuitive reading client.

The tips I share below on how to become a clear channel will help whether you’re interested in channeling intuitive guidance (my focus), healing energy, or becoming a psychic medium.

Becoming a clear channel is a constant practice of fine tuning through conscious effort. That’s why I like to paint reminders for both of us, including this new painting called “On the Beam”, an idiom that means

“on or along the correct or proper track or way of thinking. A reference to the former practice in which aircraft would home in on a radio beam in order to navigate to their destination.”

Do you recognize the symbolism in the painting? It’s a smaller version of “Time of Ascension“. Usually, artists create a smaller one before the larger one, but I had so much fun with the larger one, I wanted to make a smaller variation in monochromatic tones. It’s not the first time I do things differently – lol.

To be on the beam, to live on track, to be guided by the Light is so important if we want to live our Higher Self version of our life. It makes the difference between living small or living big within your Self and in the service of others. Universal energy and Our Teams of Divine Helpers  are happy to help – we just need to remember to ask for that support and to connect to the resources available to do so.

I’m feeling called right now to become an even cleaner clearer channel. I feel like I’m preparing for something big.

Back in November, I was told that my time in Glastonbury would be a gateway. That’s all I know. I’ll be there for the Sun Lover Goddess Conference (which happened to be at the same time as when I was guided to go) and a solo retreat at the Chalice Well Gardens.

When I was a practicing Catholic, we had the 40 days of Lent to prepare us for the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Last week, I was asked to take 40 days to consciously prepare for the birth or rebirth of something new in my life.

Co-Creating the “Re-Connecting Collection” of paintings  was part of the original Guided preparation. Now, I’m embracing the mystery and following a call to get more fully on the beam before my trip to the UK.

So this is perfect timing to share some tips on becoming a clear channel. May this also help you tune into your intuition so that you too can allow peace and love to flow through your doing & being.

There are 3 basic guidelines that help you prepare in body, mind & spirit to be a channel.

1.  Clean Up the Channels:
   Let go of anything that either numbs or overexcites you. Depression and anxiety are like static on the line when trying to communicate with your intuition / Team of Divine Helpers. So avoid what affects any of your senses negatively.
   
2. Raise Your Vibration:
   Your Team of Divine Helpers (angels,  Spirit Guides,  Higher Self, Jesus, etc.) vibrate at a very high level, so whatever you can do to raise your vibration will help bridge the gap of communication. Do, be, and have what lifts you up!
3. Trust & Pay Attention: One reason a child finds the eggs at an Easter egg hunt is because she believes they’re out there and won’t stop until she finds some. The child’s curiosity, wonder, and sense of play fill her heart and open her eyes. Her focus is sharp!  These are all necessary ingredients to being a clear channel. Pay attention with all your inner and outer senses to the psychic signs . Learn more about these in my free 75-minute tutorial. Your trust will grow from baby steps to leaps of faith, making it easier to embrace the mystery.

1. Set Your Intention & Ask: Whether it’s through prayer, journaling, goal-setting, etc. make it clear to yourself and The Universe that you want to become a clear channel for Love & Light (use the words that fit your belief system).  Ask and you shall receive. Because of free will, however, you need to ask. Then, open to receiving. If what you receive feels loving, it’s your intuition / Team of Divine Helpers. If it’s not, it’s your ego or an unwelcome presence. So make sure to ask for Guidance from sources of Light & Love working at the Highest Vibration. With a prayer like: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace”,  the intention and request is there.
   
2. Eat Clean: Healthy eating nourishes your body and a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Some Buddhists abstain from onions, garlic & leeks because they excite the senses. I’ve never tasted coffee, so I’m sensitive to anything with caffeine in it. I try to avoid sugar because the effects are immediately clear – it hits my brain like a steam train! Now if I could only cut back on chips! Gluten and processed foods can cause depression, anxiety or fatigue for some people. Get to know how your body reacts to certain foods. What’s healthy for some may not be for you. What’s important is that you eat in a way that elevates your vibration.
   
3. Avoid Drugs & Alcohol: I can’t speak from personal experience as I don’t drink and am one of the rare visionary artist who has never tried drugs. But it seems logical to me that if these things affect your competency behind the wheel, they’ll affect your ability to be a clear channel.
4. Create Space – Meditate:  Meditation is a great way to create space for listening. When you’re constantly running around distracted, you’re likely missing your Team’s many attempts at communicating with you. Life is noisy. You need to be quiet to hear your Self & Team of Divine Helpers. So make space in your schedule as well as your mind. There are many kinds of meditation to help relax the mind, ground in the body, connect through the breath. Find what works for you.  When I’m not listening to one of the visioning mediations that I channel (which help connect you to your intuition for inspired action), then I’m listening to one of Steve Nobel’s transmissions. These bring in the archangels and the crystalline and central sun grids featured in my paintings “On the Beam” (above) and “Time of Ascension”. I also consider some of my painting sessions meditation. You might meditate while doing the dishes. Or do you spend time in quiet contemplation after your prayers? Again, find what works for you.
5. Breathe: Your breath is your connection to Spirit. Breathe deeply through various yoga practices or get moving outside in the fresh air.  When you get scared, your breath becomes shallow or cut off , disconnecting you from your Self & Guidance. Unfortunately, many of us have learned to breathe up in our chests instead of deep down in our abdomens. So get back to how you breathed when you were a baby – you were super connected to Spirit back  then and can be again!
   
6. Get Centered:  Exercise and gentle stretching can help get that oxygen flowing. It also centres & grounds you in your body. I like to do some restorative yoga and dancing on my mini-trampoline before I channel one of my Divine Storytelling Time packages for a client. What does your body crave?
   
7. Nature Time:  Yes, being out in nature gets fresh air in your lungs and grounds you. It’s more than that. The Elements and Elementals are there to support your intentions. Next time you’re anxious, try hugging a tree. Just let it suck all the negativity out of you and down into the earth to be recycled into something that will serve the planet. Then let it connect you to the Heavens. Your whole chakra system will benefit from a nice long tree hug or lying down on the ground. Mother Earth nurtures, cleanses, and raises your vibration.  Go where you feel most uplifted. Every time I’m near a creek, river, lake, or ocean, I become an open vessel. Being in beauty (which is abundant in the great outdoors) brings me even higher and closer to the Light and Love that wants to flow through me.  If you haven’t tried an intuitive walkabout yet, it’s one of the fun & easy ways I teach to access your Guidance, especially in nature. And if you can’t get outside, the energy of crystals can be helpful.
   
8. Solo Time: Is it easier for an introvert than an extrovert to channel? Maybe. What’s important is to take the time to be quiet and aware of all your senses and the signs. It’s about becoming a good listener.  Watching movies on your own isn’t what I’m talking about… even though that’s my favourite way to disconnect. It’s more about quiet contemplation or conscious channeling exercises like automatic writing, visioning, etc. Daydreaming is good too – imagination is the first of the higher levels of knowledge. Next comes inspiration and intuition.
9. Record:  Don’t trust your memory! Use a dream journal, intuition notebook, camera, or voice memo app to record your data. I may take notes or photos on an intuitive walkabout but use my voice memo app to record the 1-hour Divine Storytelling Time sessions. When I used these channeled visions/ teachings for my Enter the Mandala: The 12 Universal Laws project, I was often surprised by what I heard but hadn’t remembered. And once, decades ago, I was confused why I was having such difficulty getting into a college program only to discover in my dream journal that I’d misremembered the Guidance I’d written down. When I applied at the suggested neighbouring university instead, I got in without a problem.
   
10. Gratitude: Recognize when you’ve received Guidance, act on it, and be grateful for it. Imagine your appreciation opening the door wider each time. As your Team of Divine Helpers experience your gratitude and witness your willingness to take inspired action, it’ll become easier and easier to communicate with them. Your continued practice at creating a welcoming space and clear strong channels will pave the way to a happier & healthier life.

We’re not alone. We’re all part of the Divine Oneness. So let’s connect to the flow of love & light that’s always available to us – that’s a part of us.

You’ll see. Co-creating is a lot more fun than trying to do everything on your own.

We knew all this as young kids. We just have to remember how to do it. Hopefully, these tips have helped. They’re all meant to help you be the joyous you that can more easily connect to your Truth.
