A nice practical guide to developing your ability to channel your spirit guide or any other higher being. Takes patience and practice and a willingness to read over the sections several times, However, very rewarding when an understanding of the methodologies is reached and successful contact is made. I highly recommend it for anyone who wishes to enter the field of channelling.

I thought that this book was good

If you definitely want to learn to channel, then this is a book that will definitely teach you that. I already speak to my guides regularly, and I thought this book would give me some insight into connecting on a deeper level with my guide, since that is what the subtitle purports to some extent. Unfortunately, this book really is all about channelling. It mentions the nature of spirit guides only in a cursory fashion, and in fact I found all of the introductory materials rather cursory. This is a book that will require you to practice regularly, and the exercises are geared toward you learning to channel. Furthermore, I was turned off of channeling as it is repeatedly made clear that the channelers often do not even understand, or remember, what they are channeling! Why would I want to learn to channel when I can already speak directly to my guides? I have always been a very utilitarian practitioner in all my spiritual endeavors and I feel like channelling is just... too involved a process. That may simply be my own bias. The book did explain channelling in a manner I could understand. Unfortunately, it really wasn't what I was looking for and it turned me off channelling altogether.

This is a wonderful book for beginners and I agree with most that the steps are clear to follow. I wish sometimes they would address some people like me who have been asking my spirit guide to tangibly connect with me for a long time and it all seems to be left to my imagination station. I sometimes feel there is something wrong with me that I don't get a 'name' or an 'image' or whatnot. I need a book that specifically addresses this discouragement and I thought this would but not really.
I would recommend the book and I am glad it is on my shelf.

Very nice how we can clearly identify who is speaking by the way they express themselves

Very informative when first published. Still is one of the clearest in the field today.

I found this a really good introduction into meditation and connecting with spirit guides.

Summary: Great starter book on some basics.
I was recently made aware that this might be what is happening when I'm practicing meditation, tarot, or astrology. Hence, this was a beginner book to help me understand what's going on. Mostly I like this as a beginner starting place. Here are some notes:
p. 20 They talk about the feeling you might have as it is an altered state. I often am reading and get a tingling in my neck and all over my body. This is helpful.
They talk about the forms of guides. Some can be male, female & discuss body work.
They do talk about imagining a bubble of light as a way to help you.

Opening to channel is a fantastic book for people who are interested in exploring their abilities and minds on a different, new level. For those just getting started and knowing there is "more" out there, this book walks the student step by step and covers every base.

I am not sure how to rate this. It's not like I have a basis for comparison. Is this a good how-to channel book? Not really sure. I enjoyed it, it was interesting and not as "out there" as I expected it to be. It's funny because this book is fairly old (15+ years) and it's totally like that whole "The Secret" thing. I never read that but I saw the Oprah and a lot of the terms, wording, ideas are very similar. (Even though this book is about speaking to your guide). Anyway, once I practice some of the meditation techniques, I may have to revise my rating one way or another. I just have to wait for my cystals to arrive.... (yeah, that's right!)

A good book for newbies to channeling.

Recommended by a knowing source! I can't wait to start it.

I read this back in 1988 when I began studying my journey into the world of summoning spirits. My research took me from medieval grimoires to seances to even the New Age where people supposedly "channel" which is more or less a form of spiritual possession. Understand, possession is used quite regularly in the African religions so it is nothing to be feared when you know what you're doing and have an initiated priest with you. Channeling however is more perilous since you do not know who the NPE (Non-Physical Entity) is who is possessing you nor what aims It has towards you. African priests summon specific spirits onto a medium to be possessed thus they know whom to speak with whereas with channelers?...
I first ran into this book when I picked up her other book written with co-author Da Ben, another channeler, on prosperity. After that, I thought I'd give this one a try. Well.... it's a bit TOO New Agey for my taste and as I said, the mediumship aspect of the channeler is a bit out of touch in my opinion. Why? Not enough safety is assured. I'm sorry but surrounding yourself with "love" is NOT going to stop any spirit you open yourself to from any harm should something go awry. I give it 3/5 stars only because it is one of the better channeler books out there on the market by comparison.

Anyone who's curious about how channeling works or who wants to learn to channel themselves, would enjoy this book.
I read this book to gain insights about how Esther Hicks channels Abraham, and in the process of reading, it took away some of the fears I had about channeling and helped me align with maybe being able to communicate with Source myself!
A beautiful book that lovingly, gently walks you through how to open up your own connection to higher wisdom with practical exercises to do. It soothes any concerns, and accurately covers lots of issues you may come across in the process, leaving no stone unturned. It gives examples of those who have walked this path before you, making you feel like you're not alone on your journey.
A must-read for anyone wanting to learn to receive information from Source directly.

Can I give this book 6 stars? Please? It's so good! I love the vibe in the book! You can really feel Orin's and DaBen's frequency coming from the pages to help you get in contact with your guides! I love the easy processes that are there to help you get started and I love how some parts are Sanaya and Duane talking about there experiences and all. It's so great!
2 minor notes: I missed the proces how to get in touch after you made the first contact with your guide, so I tweaked the proces myself and I felt like it talked a lot about how to channel for other people, while my goal is just to get in contact with my guides to help me with my life so I can help more people with the things I do great already.
One of the best books I've read in a while!!

An interesting read. Filled with helpful information and exercises. Excellent tips to consider prior to starting on this journey, as in doing your own personal work first. Guides will point you in the right direction, bring information in the form of books and people, but you have to be prepared to take action and do the work yourself. They will never do the work for you and they will not get in the way of the lessons you are meant to learn. So yes sometimes that means that events will not unfold as you hoped, but they will unfold as they are meant to for your highest learning.
The final section of the book gives a brief history of the Spiritualist movement and changes. It also talks about how the term, medium, has now changed to channeling. Some interesting points to consider.

One of the best books on opening to channel, I’ve read it a number of times now and each time it truly helps me connect to extra-dimensional intelligence in more profound ways. The messages are clear, timely, and carry the energy of higher consciousness, with plenty of suggestions for how to begin this most exciting journey of connecting to higher intelligence, be it our own higher mind, soul, over-soul, other aspects, etc. Both a how-to manual and a treatise of consciousness, this is one to keep on your bookshelf for years to come - I have bought extra copes to share with friends!

Though I am not particularly interested in channeling I do like these types of books. I thought I would give this book a try since it came up in my pile. I think for the most part I kind of slogged through it though some parts were interesting. For me, the non interesting parts added up to more than the interesting.
I think there are better books to read on this subject that would seem less boring even though I'm sure there are many who would be totally interested in this book. I'm sure it would be more interesting for someone who is actually interested in channeling.

Definitely the book I was looking for. If you've heard of channel and want to understand what it is and what it can do for you, this is the book for you. It's not just a how to book, it goes even a step further by solving all of your possible doubts before you even start channeling (if you decide that channeling is for you of course).
I felt elevated the whole time while reading this book, this is the real deal folks. 100% recomended.

This is a must-read for lightworkers, healers, intuitives and anyone else who is curious about or eager to explore channelling. The guidance throughout the book resonated. Although I haven't yet worked through the exercises to open myself up further to channelling my guides, I am already feeling a shift in my energy and consciousness simply from reading the book from cover to cover. Highly recommend!

I thought it was too short but to the point. I would have liked more...
On my part, I didn't know anything about channeling but I've been working on myself for quite a time now so it was easy to make the connection I didn't need to go through all the advice to start with channeling although I will take the advice on how to continue. Some insightful words of wisdom spoken from Oren & Daben made a lot of sense.

I really enjoyed the ease at which I made it through this book, & being able to go at my own pace. Very easy to read, very easy to pause when needed, & the flow and explanations were very helpful. Easy to understand & reflect on. Great book to read for those interested in channeling!
This book was recommended to me by a friend & this one was a spot on recommendation. Highly recommend to share with those you feel might also be interested, as you can work through it together!

Great book to take away the fear of speaking with your higher guides. Whether you all ready channel by way of book suggestions, through creation of the arts, reading tarot, or by asking advice for self or others or you know nothing about it, this book can be eye opening. For the open minded and unfearful, it can become another tool in raising your consciousness.

This book is fantastic and full of useful information! I did learn to easily channel from this. It takes work and I went into this with a strong background in spiritual work, so don’t read it completely new and expect it to be the most easy breezy thing. I still think even then, it’s very readily accessible.

What I was looking for
I would recommend this book to anyone looking hope and direction in this human experience. The website offers many meditations also thank you Sanaya for leading the way.

Just a couple of years ago I never would have been in a place to look at this book, let alone read it. My, how life has changed. This is an excellent primer on channeling—clear, intelligent, well-written.
