People usually begin channeling because they want to try it out. Others may take channeling lessons. Some also let the beings come to them, such as well known channeler, JZ Knight, who channeled the spirit being, Ramtha.

There are various ways that people channel. Some channel by taking their awareness and moving aside while others welcome an entity in. They may or may not know this Being. While the Being is inside of the channeler, the sole proprietor of the body, s/he will have some awareness of the Being and what the Being is doing and saying.

We can also channel for another person or a group of people. Once the Being has exited, the channeler may not fully remember everything that was spoken or what occurred. You may want to have your session recorded if it’s information you want to keep.

For other channelers, such as unconscious channelers like () are overtaken by the Being and have no awareness. They have no memory of the Being or anything that was said or done.

If you’re working with a novice channeler, there are important things to know. When a beginner explores channeling, it may be born out of curiosity. They are intrigued and curious to see if it’s possible to make contact with another being in the astral planes and open themselves up to whatever arrives. They could have read or researched volumes regarding channeling on the internet or library before beginning their channeling experience.
