What Does a Spiritual Seeker Need to Know?

Book a session in our Jane app. Learn more about how Reiki works in this article: "What is involved for in-person Reiki Sessions?"   What Is Channelling? (And How Reiki Helps) Geneva begins by sharing how she experiences channelling: For her, channelling means “connecting to source,” which includes beings of light like angels, guides, spiritual mentors, Ascended Masters, and the consciousness of “the all that is”. This is “the Team” that speaks in the channelled messages. She explains that mediumship is about connecting to loved ones who have passed away, while channelling is about connecting to source, the divine, or higher consciousness. Because she has practiced Reiki for many years, Reiki opened her energy channel and sensitivity. The energy she feels is rich with information. Over time, she learned to decode it. For many years, Geneva channelled mostly through writing with her Team to achieve the greatest clarity in the messages. Recently, she skipped the writing part and now delivers messages directly, creating a more natural dialogue and faster process for clients and students.   The Vertigo that Changed Everything Geneva shares a deeply personal story of how her channel opened further after an intense health experience. After a round of enthusiastic gardening, she developed severe vertigo. Vertigo made it difficult to write by hand or type, as every movement caused more dizziness. It was also an unexpected gift of stillness and mindfulness, creating an even deeper spiritual connection. Unable to write comfortably, she began speaking into her phone and noticed clear guidance coming through. This was the beginning of speaking channelling out loud. Alongside the physical symptoms, the vertigo initiated intensive healing around people-pleasing and learning to be comfortable with others' discomfort. It was fast training in alignment with her soul, spiritual honesty, and acting only on what is truly aligned. From her divine team’s perspective, the vertigo became an elegant way to train her to stop over-fixing and over-helping, let others have their own discomfort and growth, and ask for more help when she physically cannot do everything herself.   How Geneva Channels: Safety, Reiki, and Process Before she begins channelling, Geneva explains her approach, which may help reassure anyone who is curious or cautious about this kind of work: She only connects to the highest energy. Reiki acts as a steady, pure, unchanging source of high vibration frequency. She brings in Reiki symbols and energy, sets the intention for clarity, benefit, and safety for all, and anchors into a column of light from an infinite source through the body into the earth. She is clear that the beings she connects with are loving, kind, and safe. Geneva is simply an interpreter of spiritual communication, so things can be lost in translation. She does not want anyone to blindly believe something just because it’s channelled. You are always your own spiritual authority. Take what resonates and gently set aside what doesn’t. For Geneva, channelling feels like she “takes a seat in the auditorium” of her own mind. She sits back as an observer while the message speaks through her voice. It feels similar to being a live translator. Concepts arrive, then turn into words. Sometimes the concepts are surprising or different from how she would answer, which is definitely a fascinating experience.   Channelled Teaching: What Does a Spiritual Seeker Need to Know? Angela asks the central question: “What is the most important information for a spiritual seeker to know?” The channelled answer acknowledges that the response is multi‑layered and depends on where someone is on their journey—whether just beginning or decades in. Still, the message offers key stages of spiritual development that many seekers encounter. Compassion and Empathy: Outward First, Then Inward The channelled guidance highlights compassion as a core, advanced lesson. Early on, seekers learn to step out of purely egoic self-reference, recognize that others exist, and honour the uniqueness of each person’s experience and pain. Many listeners will likely have already mastered deep empathy for others and sensitivity to the pain of the collective. For these souls, the next level is returning that same depth of compassion and empathy to the self, the inner child, and the parts inside that are struggling. A key message the Team wants you to know is that: You are one of the beings you are here to hold compassion for.   The Observer: Who Is Doing the Viewing? The message invites seekers to explore a subtle, profound question: If you can view another person… If you can view yourself… Even view different parts within yourself… Who is the one doing the viewing? This “observer” is closer to the perspective of the beings who are speaking. It can see the inner complexity of others, notice your own inner world, and also hold a third perspective beyond both. This leads to a sense of non-separation between you and others, and to the capacity to see you and the other as one interconnected field, reciprocal and exchanging information and energy. Even if two people never meet physically, they can still be on the same frequency, communicate in dreams or subtle realms, and share a kind of telepathic dialogue of understanding.   The World Is Conscious As you evolve as a seeker, another realization arises: The physical world is conscious; the matter you sit on, the atoms in every object, are connected to a universal field of information and light and are vibratory and responsive. Once this is integrated, the next step is to bring that awareness into your daily actions, start creating from that source-aligned place, let go of limiting beliefs and self-concept, and act from what you know in your soul to be true and aligned.   You Can Never Be Off Your Path One of the most comforting parts of the message is this: You have never lost your way. You can never be off your path. Wherever you are, that is the path.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
