Are you a channel?
There are many types of channeling, here are a few:
Mediumship - allowing spirit to work through you to give messages to loved ones. As a medium you may experience cold spots, tingles, a soft breeze, mental impressions or an empathic link to how the person is feeling or was feeling towards the end of their life.
Higher-self - this is mostly experienced as a loving energy whereby you might feel a subtle ‘nudge’ or knowing about something that is playing out in your life. This particular form of channeling is really fine tuning into your personal lessons, learning and life and what is specifically going on for you. You may intuitively have a sense of what feels right a bit like receiving guidance from a loving source. It can be very subtle so you really have to listen in and focus on the quieter intuitive messages that are there for you.
Divine/Source - from this aspect you will feel a profound sense of peace along with a strong emotional or sometimes physical sensations. This is where you move beyond the self and into an expansive state - all that is. Everything makes sense and feels purposeful from this state.
Spirit guides/teachers - guidance is given and received when asked for. Sometimes it can feel quite practical and is often subtle in its message but powerful. Your spirit guides are here to help you get from point A to point B. They have usually had a life on Earth but not always and offer guidance based on what you need and what they’ve experienced.
Angels - divine, universal, unconditional love and protection. Pure consciousness energy, messengers of God, they’ve never been human. When I’ve experienced working with Angels I’ve found so much reassurance and overwhelming love just pouring out from them. It’s been an extraordinary experience for me. In some ways, working with the angelics helped me to heal and find myself again and most importantly forgive myself.
Collective unconscious - this is the energy that we inherit that comes from the unconscious minds of all on the planet. It contains universal symbols, images, patterns of behaviour, archetypes and more. Sometimes experienced through dreams and can be explored through creative expression. It’s the shadow element - the part that for whatever reason - we can’t make conscious.
Collective consciousness - tapping into shared beliefs, values, morals that bind a society together. Intention can be felt here, how people choose to direct their energy through behaviours, social activities, religion, hobbies, views and perspectives.

Here are some things you can try:
automatic writing and/or drawing - this can help to reach an alpha brainwave state which can boost your intuition
meditation - sometimes this quietens the mind so that insights drop in
oracle cards - a great divination tool to help you connect and lean into intuitive messages and guidance
mediumship circles - people join these to learn about mediumship and how to connect to spirit
self-healing techniques - there are many you can try but simply by setting the intention this can allow for your awareness to shift
creative dreaming - some people are lucid in their dreams and can access information beyond our day to day reality
