Channeling is a term used in various contexts to describe the process of receiving and transmitting information, energy, or spiritual messages from a source beyond the ordinary senses. In the realm of spirituality and paranormal phenomena, channeling often refers to the practice of mediums or sensitives who claim to relay messages from spirits, deities, or other non-physical entities. The term can also be used in more general contexts, such as in technology, where it refers to the transmission of signals through a specific path or medium. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as תעלת (ta'alat) or העברת (ha'avarat) messages or energy. In French, it is known as canalisation, and in German, it is referred to as Kanalisieren. The practice of spiritual channeling has been a subject of both fascination and skepticism, with proponents believing it to be a genuine form of communication with higher realms, while skeptics attribute it to psychological phenomena or fraud. Historically, channeling has been associated with various religious and mystical traditions, including shamanism, spiritualism, and New Age movements.
