"Maintaining Your Focus
In order to live fully and creatively, it's important to stay focused on following your own energy. This focus allows your channel to remain open to the energy flowing through. It's so easy to loose focus, to get lost in other people, external goals, and desires. And the problem is, we do exactly that: we loose out connection with ourselves. As long as we are overly focused on the outside there will always be an empty, hungary, lost place inside that needs to be filled.
Living as a Channel
Channeling works in two ways: energy either flows through you or others, or from others to you.
As you become increasingly conscious of the flow of life moving through you and through everything and everyone else, your body will become capable of channeling more energy. The more energy you are willing to receive, the more you'll be able to give.
…learning and growing from every experience that we have."
