A Trance Channeling Experience written by Meridith DeSopo
Trance Channeling Session

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a group Trance Channeling session. First I would like to explain exactly what a Trance Channeling session is before describing my personal experience.
During Deep Trance Channeling, the host (the person doing the channeling) is usually not consciously aware of what happens during the session because they are in a deep trance mental state. This is how Edgar Cayce channeled and has been coined either Catatonic or Trance State Channeling.
In order to achieve the deep trance state the channeler must raise his or her consciousness much higher than in normal waking life. In effect the mind is allowed to more greatly expand its scope of understanding and its range of perception to higher realms. At these levels the connection with spirit is achieved and information is given and shared with the client.
You may wonder what the difference between a Trance Channeling session and a Psychic Reading are. Both are receiving information from the spirit realm. The main difference is that during a psychic reading, all information gathered from spirit is interpreted and relayed by the psychic themselves, where their own ego filters and interprets the information given back to the client. In a trance channeling session, in essence, you remove the middle man, as the ego of the host steps aside to allow communication directly with the spirit and very little filtering of information results.
Cheryl channels a spirit guide named Moreen. Thus, her Trance Channeling sessions are called Moreen and I. Moreen’s most recent incarnation was in the 1700’s in Germany and she speaks with a German accent. She was a village healer who lived on the outskirts of town.
Cheryl began channeling with Moreen in 1981. She had been studying meditation for over a year to help with stress reduction. She began to experience astral projection while meditating. A friend, who was studying metaphysics, asked Cheryl if she would be interested in trying to channel. Out of curiosity and a yearning to learn, she said yes. She spent the next six years studying channeling and metaphysics before going public in 1987 offering both private and group channeling sessions.
What questions can be asked during a consultation?
Anything can be asked at a channeling session; questions regarding one’s health, life’s path, business decisions, questions regarding deceased loved ones, relationships and any other personal questions you can think of. However, you may wish to ask assistance in the wording of your question (before the session starts). If you want to know specific information about an issue, you have to ask specific questions. Vague questions generally result in vague answers. When asking questions, you must identify yourself by your name and birth date. If asking questions about someone else, you must also indicate their name and birth date.
Cheryl said people come to a session to help them with a direction for their life - mind, body and spirit. They also come in order to confirm what they already know. Some come to receive closure for a person or animal that has passed on. Many want to know details of past lives and who in their current life they might have shared past lives with. A great deal want to know who their spirit guides are.
When asked if she has a sense of how accurate Moreen’s answers are, Cheryl replied that she has second had knowledge of Moreen’s experience with others since she is so deeply in trance during the session. However, clients tell her that Moreen is “right on” with her answers (more than 85% of the time); and there is always an element of free will to consider, etc.
I also asked Cheryl what she would say to skeptics who disbelieve her channeling sessions are real. She replied, “I have met quite a few skeptics. I welcome their disbelief and most "get it" after having experienced a channeling session. There are 10,000 ways to get the teachings you need. This is one of many, by design, I am sure. There will always be skeptics and I believe that skepticism is a healthy discernment to any new experience - and it is always good to keep an open mind. Of all the psychic readings you can receive, talking to a trance channel means you get information straight from spirit without it being filtered by a human ego. It is really a spiritual experience. Moreen is a kind and loving spirit who is here to help people on their journey and she will speak to your truth.”
The Group Trance Channeling Session
I had never been to a trance channeling event and was not sure what to expect. I had seen a few on video beforehand, but never experienced a live channeling. It was also more difficult than I thought to come up with the questions I would ask. What would You ask? When I arrived at the group trance channeling event, there were about 6 others in the room, along with Cheryl (the Channeler) and BeBe, who helps to facilitate the channeling sessions and can record the information given during the channeling session for clients. I happened to be sitting directly beside Cheryl, closest to her during the channeling session.
Cheryl lies down in the center of the room and enters into a meditation, thus leading her into the deep trance. Due to my training and work in the hypnotherapy and energy work fields, as well as the vantage point of my seat, I was able to see physical characteristics that confirmed to me that Cheryl was indeed induced into a deep trance state rather quickly. For example, when in a deep trance one’s eyes flutter back and forth, such as during REM sleep. Eye fluttering is an involuntary response and not something that can be faked or controlled. Also, I could see how her breathing rate and depth changed from when she first laid down to later while in the trance. So yes, I do believe she really was in a trance state.
Then when Moreen arrived, I could sense a huge surge in energy…one that I am having difficulty putting into words, but was definitely palpable. With my experience in energy work, I know that this very high vibrational energy is not a state at which humans normally reside, and walk around in general waking life. It was higher, faster, more powerful…so there definitely was a shift in the energy in the room during the channeling.
Most of the questions I asked were regarding a series of unfortunate events that occurred in my life last year. Some of the questions I was told I already knew the answers to (which I disagreed with at the time, but later realized that I did indeed already know the answers). And I asked a question regarding my life path.
Others during my group session asked about their past lives, health of family members, condition of a recently passed on family member, career path related questions, questions about a deceased pet. Most people seemed pleased with the answers they received. There was one person who asked about a client’s health concerns, and she confirmed what Moreen answered to be accurate to the current health concerns of this person.
You can read my words and have a slight understanding of what the session will be like. But the energy in the room is something that cannot be translated or expressed in the written word.
So don’t take my word for it, try it yourself! BeBe and Cheryl are wonderful, honest, compassionate women who have found a way to utilize their gifts to help others. Everyone left the session feeling good and at peace with the information they received. The cost for a group session is $25 per person and private sessions can also be arranged.
Tell me, what questions would You ask at a Trance Channeling Session?
