Opening to Channel takes you on a complete tour of [how to become a channel]. As channels, [it offers] an experienced point-of-view on how to connect with your own spirit guides and channel them for yourselves and for others.The authors provide very through and balanced how-to advice, information and guidance. Recommended. -- Body Mind Spirit, October 1987

Channeling is a skill that can be learned. Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, with the help of their guides, Orin and DaBen, have created a definitive, inspirational, and easy-to-use guide to the art of channeling. Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide includes practical hands-on instruction in how to know if you are ready, how to attract a high-level guide, how to going to trance, how to channel for friends, how to use channeling to open to the higher dimension, and much more. -- The Midwest Book Review

Channeling is usually defined as the process by which a medium or psychic transmits information from a non-physical entity who speaks through them. Roman and Packer explain channeling as communicating with a high-level [spiritual] guide and bringing though verbal information. Traditionally, trance channeling has meant channeling when the medium is in a trance and not conscious of his/her words, though Roman and Packer encourage conscious awareness so that the medium herself can benefit from the messages.

I appreciate this book because it is clearly written and offers a sensible step-by-step process whereby anyone who is interested can begin to learn to channel. It demystifies the process, eliminates erroneous ideas that frighten people, and make channeling accessible. My greatest appreciation however, is that this book is far more than just another spiritually chic, how-to book. It contains true spirituality; underscores the channeling process with words of love, encouragement and empowerment; and eliminates unfounded fears. Without making false promises, without offering quick fix, without promising us material success, it consistently points us toward a spiritual path, reminding us that we are surrounded by love and teaching us how to reach out to bring more of that love into our lives. -- The Common Boundary, December 1987

Smoothly crafted, highly intelligent, and easy to follow. -- Meditation

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the beginner !, August 8, 2002

This review is from: Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide (Sanaya Roman) (Paperback)

i have quite a few books on "channeling" in my book collection, but this one takes the gold! It is very easy to understand, and does NOT make the art of channeling anymore complicated than it has to be. The excercises contained within the book are excellent. One of the reasons i love this book so much is because once i started reading the material, mild channeling sessions would just start to come naturally. Not to mention, most of us channel "more than we know".. This book simply makes you aware that you are doing it, that anyone can do it, and just how easy it is....

The text flows beautifully, and the authors are wonderful!
i would reccommend this book to anyone who sincerely wants to learn to channel.

This review is from: Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide (Sanaya Roman) (Paperback)

Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer bring you an extraordinarily simple and easy to understand book about channeling, by clearly explaining that each person alive has this natural ability, it's just learning how to fine tune it so that you can receive the highest wisdom and guidance for yourself, and then you can ultimately use it to bring through information to help humanity, even if only one person at a time.

I personally know their work is authentic, real, and comes from the heart. The instructions and steps provided are easy to follow, and you don't have to go into some altered state, or speak in a strange voice to channel Higher wisdom.
This same wisdom comes to you in your gut instincts. Getting it down on paper is actually quite simple, but some may find it hard to trust in the beginning, as if you are making it all up. You are not. It is important to ask for Divine Protection and to be surrounded by white Light, and also that you ask to be connected to ONLY whatever name you give to your highest source of wisdom and guidance.

This was the first and last book I ever bought on channeling when it first came out. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to soar in their life, because once you get that connection fine-tuned, you are going to see amazing results. You ARE being helped at all times. This wonderful book simply helps you become more conscious of it, and teaches you how to use it in your daily life.

A Wonderful contribution to humanity by the wonderful authors that gave us all this book. Deserves 10 Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone Can Channel!!, March 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide (Sanaya Roman) (Paperback)

You don't have to be a psychic or a card reader to learn how
to access your spirit guide. After practicing meditation
and relaxation exercises, the authors naturally move you towards
asking for a guide and how to receive information. If this is something a person is really wanting to learn, I would certainly recommend this book above any of the others. It felt good to read this book and know that we all have a special 'guardian angel' that we can talk to at any time and Orin and DaBen show us exactly how to communicate with that entity. I loved it!!
