Buyer beware

Just because you know the mechanics of entering a meditative state does not mean that you have entered meditation. Just because someone tells you that if you do this you will channel does not mean it is happening. Many people who think they are channeling are simply entering into the subconscious and attracting all manner of nasty and deceptive energies. Channeling is a very delicate and complex process of making connections in conscious between your personal energies and higher life forms in the universe. It can be dangerous when not monitored by guidance who always affirm the contact gradually and not until you are prepared properly. Not everyone is born to channel, it is an agreement between you and guidance arranged prior to each lifetime.
