Unified Voices from the Field: Channeled Teachings for Spiritual Awakening

Channeling need not be esoteric wu-wu, it's just developing a better "ear" for receiving that which is already within us.

Nine years ago, almost to the day, a bestie and I scheduled a private session with Darryl Anka aka Bashar. Bashar is an estraterrestrial being from the future who Anka has been channeling since 1983. My fried and I were super into psychic mediums at the time and Bashar was somehow affordable, whereas a celebrity cruise with Esther Hicks aka Abraham was not. 

Within an hour of LA, we arrived at Anka’s then home in the San Fernando valley. The living room was essentially two giant chocolate brown L-shaped sofas. “Sit wherever you’d like,” Anka gestured to one couch as he settled into the other. True to his photos, Anka wore a classic Hawaiian shirt and khaki chino shorts. He asked if we had any questions. We did. "How can we make the most out of this lifetime"; "How can we better follow our intuition"; "What did our guides need us to know?"

Anka nodded and closed his eyes. After a few grunts, groans and throat clearings, the room got silent and then a potent wave of energy nearly bowled my friend and me over - I almost fell off the sofa. Anka’s voice had changed and we were now in the presence of Bashar. Bashar speaks through Anka to help humans evolve on planet earth. Bashar hails from Essessani, a non-physical civilization located about 500 light-years away in the direction of the Orion constellation 😊. It’s cool if you think this is nuts. If you'd like to skip ahead and dabble with channeling yourself, just click here.

That Sunday afternoon, as palm fronds swooshed in the wind and sunlight streamed through large picture windows, the channeled messages from Bashar were spot on, even if the delivery was a tad blunt. In retrospect, Bashar/Anka was essentially offering us a personalized version of what's come to be known as Anka's “The Formula.” I'll get into the specifics of The Formula in just a sec. It was certainly very helpful, made sense and resonated. What was perhaps most profound about that meeting, however, were the palpable shifts at different phases of the session.

At unexpected moments, intense surges of energy waved over and crashed through us. It was as if Bashar was highlighting different aspects of the teachings so we would "remember." I didn’t walk away from the session completely changed, as I’d secretly hoped. The messages felt more like reminders of how to live life fully and in alignment with something Greater. The potency of the energy, however, that made a big impression. 

Over the past few decades, channeling has evolved from the fringes of metaphysics into a respected source of spiritual wisdom. From the intergalactic dialogues of Bashar to the heart teachings of Matt Kahn and the Christ-conscious messages via Gina Lake, these transmissions represent a growing collective of wisdom that bridges psychology, spirituality, and quantum consciousness.

While their dialects differ — some speaking through galactic councils and others through the energy of Divine Love — the essence is the same: an invitation to presence, to remember our shared connection with Source and to let Love/Joy lead the way.

A Brief History of Channeling

Channeling is the practice of receiving and expressing information from a non-physical source — sometimes through guides, ascended masters, higher selves, disembodied spirits (ghosts) or inter-galactic collectives. Ancient oracles, prophets, and mystics have long practiced these forms of inspired musings and communication. 

The modern lineage of trance and channeling gained popularity in the 20th-century through figures like Jane Roberts (Seth Material), Edgar Cayce, and later, JZ Knight (Ramtha). Today’s channels — often fully awake and self-aware during transmission — present messages that blend spiritual wisdom with psychological insight. They emphasize empowerment rather than dependence, encouraging us to cultivate a connection with our highest self and beyond.

Bashar — The Formula

So, just to be sure we are on the same page, Bashar is the multidimensional being channeled by Darryl Anka. Described as an extraterrestrial from the future, Bashar’s teachings provide a systemic template and instruction manual for conscious creation. Anka is known for his precise, rapid-fire transmissions, and, that was certainly what we experienced. 

Core teachings:

Everything is a reflection.Reality, according to Bashar, mirrors your state of being. Change your frequency, and the world not only reorganizes around you, but you create entirely new (parallel) worlds. 

Trust your excitement as a your tool of navigation.Excitement is framed as your compass for life — the signal from higher mind guiding us toward our most authentic life. 

The Formula - Bashar’s distillation of alignment and manifestation:

1. Act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability.

2. Do so with no expectation of outcome.

3. Stay grounded in the present moment.

4. Remain open to what arises.

This sequence allows us to follow our spirit’s natural frequency and align with our most fulfilling/resourced timeline.

What this might look like in practice: Follow excitement → do your best → release insistence and expectations→ allow outcomes → repeat. Essentially, follow what lights you up, stay unattached to results, and reality will unfold in coherent synchrony with your true joy.

Esther Hicks — The Teachings of Abraham

Esther Hicks channels a collective consciousness known as Abraham. Her collaborations with her late husband, Jerry Hicks, birthed The Abraham-Hicks Publications, workshops, and the oft-cited film The Secret.

Core teachings: 

Law of Attraction.“You attract what you are vibrationally aligned with.” Thought, emotion, and belief act as frequencies that shape reality.

The Emotional Guidance System.Emotions signal alignment or resistance. Feeling good indicates harmony with Source; discomfort reveals thought-patterns that can be intentionally released.

The Art of Allowing.Rather than controlling conditions, Abraham teaches relaxation and trust. When you are in coherence, the universe handles the details.

What this might look like in practice: Abraham’s work is less about striving. It's about developing awareness, clarifying our desires, raising our vibes, cultivating ease and surrendering in faith.

Matt Kahn — The Heart is the Ultimate Portal

Matt Kahn is an intuitive empath and spiritual teacher who channels messages from The Universe, often expressed as the “Presence of Love.” His books (Whatever Arises, Love That, Everything Is Here to Help You) and live transmissions focus on healing through radical compassion.

Core teachings:

Whatever arises, love that.Every thought and feeling is an aspect of consciousness seeking your love. Healing occurs through inclusion, not resistance.

The end of spiritual perfectionism.Kahn emphasizes authenticity over ascension. You are not meant to transcend your humanity but to embrace it fully.

Embodiment of Divine Love.Presence is found through the body — breath, sensation, vulnerability. Love becomes a verb, not a concept. 

What this might look like in practice:This is a gentle reminder that awakening happens through tenderness and grace. Kahn’s heart-centered teaching advances Byron Katie’s The Work: “Do not resist or argue with reality,” and emphasizes acceptance and forgiveness much like the teachings in A Course in Miracles. The primary take-away is love whatever is arising inside of you; frustration or disappointment, anger, fear, hurt, sadness - just keep loving and love some more. 

Sara Landon — The Wisdom of The Council

Sara Landon channels a collective of non-physical beings known simply as The Council. Her sessions and courses center around awakening, self-realization, and “living as the creator you came here to be.”

Core teachings:

You are The Creator of your reality.The Council emphasizes that consciousness precedes form — creation begins with thoughts, so best to become aware of them.

You can attain Vibrational mastery.Your frequency determines your experience. Align with love, gratitude, and possibility to manifest higher-vibe outcomes.

Remember who you are every given moment. Awakening is a process of remembering that you are a divine spirit in human form.

What this might look like in practice:Throughout your day, return over and over again to the knowledge that you are an infinite and eternal spiritual being, let that be the well you draw from. When you feel overwhelmed and/or under-resourced, remember your divine potency - how might that change your perception and your choices?

Daniel Scranton — Inter-Galactic Ascension Activations

Daniel Scranton channels the 9th-Dimensional Arcturian Council and other star collectives. He offers daily channeled messages, meditations, and live transmissions. His work focuses on ascension — the collective awakening of humanity. Admittedly, I was a little apprehensive of Scranton from his photos, and then, I heard him interviewed on a podcast and appreciated his down to earth approach.

Core Teachings:

Ascension and frequency.Scranton’s guides discuss Earth’s vibrational uplift and offer practical exercises for aligning with these higher timelines. Kind of like a mix between Sonia Choquette’s Trust your Vibes and Esther Hick's Raise your Vibration with an emphasis on ascending to 5th dimensional consciousness.

Empower yourself to channel.Every person on earth has the capacity to access their own intuitive connection with their guides and higher self. Scranton encourages us to make these essential connections. Sara Landon emphasizes this as well.

Collective service. Many transmissions are meditative invitations intended to support global awakening so that we can better serve humanity.

What this might look like in practice:Tune into Scranton’s easily integrated, energetic briefings. They’ll tune you into collective shifts and frequency-raising upgrades for greater ease, joy and harmony.

Gina Lake — Christ Consciousness and Radical Presence

Gina Lake is a spiritual teacher and channel who transmits messages from Jesus and The Collective of Christ Consciousness. Through her platform RadicalHappiness.com, she offers Christ Consciousness Transmissions, courses like Awakening Now, and books including Jesus Speaking and In the World but Not of It. Her channeling is described as a direct energetic current of divine love — a living invitation into awakening, forgiveness, and unity.

Core teachings:

Christ Consciousness as a living energy. It's a universal field of love that dissolves separation and restores wholeness. Lake's transmissions invite participants to feel this frequency directly.

Awakening from ego and mental chatter.Freedom arises when we witness and release our identification with thoughts. Stillness is the doorway to divine presence and peace.

Forgiveness and release. Forgiveness clears the emotional residue that obscures love. Letting go becomes a form of healing and evolution. This is a core tenet of the channeled messages from A Course in Miracles as well.

Trust Divine Guidance.Surrendering control and trusting divine guidance is a core practice that can be remembered over and over again. The focus is on presence and remembrance.

What this might look like in practice: Check out a 20 minute online Christ Consciousness transmission. Lake offers a brief teaching and then channels Christ Consciousness. It feels really good - such a lovely blend of nondual awareness and loving devotion. Lake has created a number of thoughtful classes and programs that invite direct communion with divine love to cultivate everyday peace.

How these Teachings Overlap and Amplify Each Other

Though each channel uses a different voice — cosmic, psychological, devotional — their messages form a single chorus for human evolution.

• Bashar and Abraham-Hicks emphasize vibrational alignment and excitement as the key to intentional manifestation — reality reflects consciousness.

• Matt Kahn and Gina Lake bring that same awareness into the heart, showing that love, forgiveness, and surrender are not passive but vibrational technologies of transformation.

• Sara Landon and Daniel Scranton extend the lens to collective ascension — how individual awakening ripples across the earth and through inter-planetary fields.

The channels cited here all describe a unified path for modern awakening:

1. Align with your highest joy (Bashar, Abraham).

2. Love what arises (Kahn, Christ Consciousness).

3. Forgive and surrender into divine presence (Lake, ACIM).

4. Remember your creative power and service to the whole (Landon, Scranton).

I hope that through this brief exposé and perhaps checking out what each of these gifted humans (and inter dimensional beings) have to offer is that channeling is less about receiving a message from “out there” and more about listening deeply “in here” — to the inner realms of our own programming and vast Consciousness.

An Emerging Spiritual Evolution

Each of these gifted channels are shaping a new lexicon for non-denominational spirituality, inviting us to up-level our awareness and to better understand:

Frequency as consciousness. Emotions, thoughts, and beliefs are vibrational signals that shape our experience.

Presence as practice. Real awakening happens in the now — in body, breath, sensations and connection.

Love as technology. Compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude are vibrational tools that literally rewire our perception and connectivity with the world and beyond.

Unity as remembrance. All separation is illusion; awakening is the restoration to wholeness.

In a time of much global uncertainty and a constant drone of digital noise, these teachers remind us of a simple truth: enlightenment isn’t somewhere else — it’s here, now, in this next breath, in this next act of kindness, in this next courageous step toward unity.

Learn to Channel

Over the years, I've dabbled in channeling - sometimes with surprising results and other times more mid to not a whole lot. The invitation here is to remember that as with any new practice, it takes time and dedication. You might not hit a hole-in-one your first time on a golf course. Patience with yourself and your guides is key. Consider these bids for communication play dates. Create a daily routine, set aside expectations and be open to whatever arises. Our inter-galactic friends want to help, they are the non-embodiment of blissful wisdom that nudges along our evolution. We just need to ask, and keep asking.

Start by preparing the field: settle into a comfortable seat in a quiet place where you feel safe and grounded. Gather a favorite notepad or journal and writing implement for automatic writing, or prepare a voice recorder or recording app if you'd like to vocally channel.

Set your intention for a positive experience. Perhaps light a candle or say a favorite prayer. Affirm to trust whatever arises. With a light heart, remember that this is a practice. Begin with three gentle, slow breaths into the low belly. Relax the mind. Run a brief body scan to release any physical tension. Place both feet on the earth, feel the support of your connection. Place one or both hands on the heart. Drop your awareness into the heart center.

If you feel so moved, call in supports like your guides, spirit helpers, teachers, gurus, healers, ancestors, wisdom gods or goddesses, or ascended masters, etc. If you're newer to this and don't yet know who you'd like to connect to, no problem - you can ask G.O.D., Divine Guidance, Consciousness or Source for help. Give yourself the gift of grace and trust that you are being held and cared for throughout the entire process. Inwardly or aloud, set the intention to receive only clear, loving, and useful information. Request that the guidance you receive is for the highest and best for all beings throughout all time, beyond all timelines, across, between and beyond all dimensions and space.

Begin the practice of sacred receiving: allow a question to appear in the mind, and soften the fore-brain. Notice what information arises without forcing content—observe sensations, visuals, words, and tone.

Begin the process of verbal channeling or channeled writing, Record everything you can via voice memo or scribing. When the download is complete - from 40 seconds to 40 minutes - take a few minutes to rest in stillness. Thank your guidance and yourself for the opportunity and for building this budding, beautiful relationship. You can always ask to be given a name or names of your guides and ask for signs to confirm your burgeoning connection.

When you are ready to read or listen to what you've channeled, it can be helpful to check the message: 1) quality test — is the message loving, wise, and aligned with integrity (Gina Lake / Matt Kahn)? 2) resonance test — does it feel energetically true to you (Abraham’s emotional guidance / Bashar’s excitement compass)? 3) discernment test — does it encourage autonomy, ethical action, and verification (Scranton’s call to empowerment)?

If the messages look, sound and feel true, consider one small action you can take to honor the guidance you've been given. If the message doesn't pass muster, simply release it and commit to trying again another time. As with all things, practice grows our capacity, so repeat the process regularly. This is entirely creative, not a process of controlling messages and outcomes, so the more you relax and open your heart-mind to guidance, the more consistent and potent your connection with Spirit will grow.
