'''Channeling''' is a phenomenon in which a person, known as a [[medium]], claims to receive messages or guidance from a [[spirit]], [[deity]], or other non-physical entity. This practice is often associated with [[spiritualism]], [[New Age]] beliefs, and various [[religious]] traditions.

==Types of Channeling==
Channeling can take several forms, including:

* '''Trance Channeling''': The medium enters a [[trance]] state, allowing the entity to communicate through them. The medium may or may not be aware of the messages being conveyed.
* '''Conscious Channeling''': The medium remains fully conscious and aware while receiving and relaying messages from the entity.
* '''Automatic Writing''': The medium writes messages from the entity without conscious control over the writing process.

==History==
Channeling has been practiced in various cultures throughout history. In ancient [[Greece]], the [[Oracle of Delphi]] was believed to channel messages from the god [[Apollo]]. In the 19th century, the [[Spiritualist movement]] popularized channeling in the Western world, with mediums claiming to communicate with the spirits of the deceased.

==Notable Channelers==
Some well-known individuals who have claimed to channel entities include:

* [[Edgar Cayce]]: Known as the "Sleeping Prophet," Cayce provided medical and spiritual readings while in a trance state.
* [[Jane Roberts]]: Author of the "Seth Material," Roberts channeled an entity named Seth, who provided teachings on metaphysics and spirituality.
* [[JZ Knight]]: Claims to channel an entity named Ramtha, who is said to be a 35,000-year-old warrior from [[Lemuria]].

==Criticism and Skepticism==
Channeling has been met with skepticism and criticism from the scientific community. Critics argue that there is no empirical evidence to support the existence of channeling and that it can often be explained by psychological phenomena such as [[dissociation]] or [[subconscious]] processes.

==Related Practices==
Channeling is related to other practices such as:

* [[Mediumship]]
* [[Psychic reading]]
* [[Divination]]
* [[Shamanism]]
