Finding yourself to help others

QUESTION: Masters, I am interested in healing people and also solve their queries through sensing information and most of the time they turn out to be true. Is this my intuition powers or am I really connected to the spiritual guides? After reading a book ‘hands of light’ I came to know about channeling. I thought to give it a try and to my surprise I saw something being written down through me. It had been true most of the time. It guided me in my self-development and I also helped others to answer their questions. I want to know that is this channeling through the spiritual guides or my rational mind writing it? I want to go deep into it and wish to heal people. How can I develop this? Can I heal people through this source without getting attuned with the anybody like it happens in reiki. ~Minakshi, India

ANSWER: There is no right or wrong way to do things. Messages are constantly being downloaded to those who are open to receiving them. Information comes from several sources. If requested, messages may come directly from the Masters or your personal guides. Your higher self, the unconscious part of you that has all the information of what you have learned in prior lives, also answers questions when you shut down your conscious thinking mind and let it be heard.

Whenever you relax and have no agenda or expectation of the nature of the message, you open a pathway from the nonphysical world to assist you in your inquiries. If you are “thinking” about what you want to hear, you are letting your ego mind from your conscious memory tell you things. All reception from nonphysical sources is a form of channeling – whether it is words, feelings, or healing energy.

The messages you are receiving are coming in vibrational waveform and your body is translating them into your language. Translations depend on your prior knowledge of the meaning of things, how clear the broadcast, and what your state of mind is at the time. In other words, channelings are not constantly 100% accurate translations of what the spirits are saying.

The most important thing is that you not be concerned about the messages you are delivering. They are not coming from you – you are only the relay station. Do the best job that you can without inserting your own opinions into the missive and let it go.

Healing is the process of balancing the physical body’s energies back to optimum condition. This is accomplished in the spiritual realm by the use of universal life force energy or the unconditional love energy all around you. Attunement is nothing more than an introduction to the feel of this energy. It is needed with a lot of people because they don’t believe it exists until they sense or feel it themselves.

When you clear your mind, reach out and see what you feel around you. Can you sense the love of Source? If you can, you have no need to get “attuned”; just use your intention to help direct that energy to those who need it. Again, remember it is up to them what they do with it. If people do not really want to use the energy for their well-being, you cannot force them to.
