Channeling: Where Science, Spirit, and Healing Meet

What if the answers to your health struggles aren’t hiding in your lab results? What if the doctors shrugging their shoulders can’t find the problem—not because it doesn’t exist—but because they’re not looking at the whole picture?

Western medicine has long been known for its compartmentalized view of the human body. Specialists treat isolated parts, but few are allowed to see the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and emotions working together. That’s why so many people continue to suffer without real answers.

As a medical intuitive, I use channeling to uncover what’s really going on when nothing else makes sense. And here’s the fascinating part: science is finally catching up to what spiritual traditions have known for centuries.


The Science of Channeling

Channeling is an altered state of consciousness. Neuroscientists studying the brains of people who channel have found that they move into theta and delta states—the same brainwave patterns we experience during dreaming, deep meditation, or hypnosis.

From a psychology perspective, some researchers suggest that channeling is simply accessing the subconscious mind, like intuition or creative flow amplified. Others argue it’s the brain’s remarkable ability to recognize patterns, pulling together threads of knowledge we didn’t even realize we held.

In my own practice, I describe it as “opening the channel.” I do this intentionally, like tuning a dial, and information flows through—insights about my clients’ health, history, and energy patterns that often resonate with uncanny accuracy.

For one client struggling with chronic sinusitis, the insights that came through in a session shifted how she understood her condition and opened new pathways for healing. It wasn’t because I had done hours of research beforehand. It was because channeling connected the dots in a way the mind alone could not.


Channeling Across History

Channeling isn’t new—it’s been with us for millennia.

  • In ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi spoke to leaders and warriors, shaping wars and politics with her visions.

  • In the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen recorded her divine visions in books that influenced theology, medicine, and music.

  • In the early 20th century, Edgar Cayce, known as the “sleeping prophet,” offered medical readings that continue to be validated today.

  • In modern times, voices like Esther Hicks (Abraham Hicks) and the Medical Medium have shaped how people approach healing and personal growth.

These are just a few examples of a long lineage of channels who have influenced culture, science, and spirituality by tuning into something greater than themselves.


My Journey Into Channeling

My path into channeling started young. I saw and felt things I couldn’t explain, though I turned those gifts off for a time because they were too overwhelming. As I grew older, teachers helped me develop discernment, showing me how to manage the energy and information coming through.

I was still working as a mechanical and aerospace engineer on NASA’s Artemis program during those early years, so it wasn’t exactly something I could talk about openly. But in the background, my skills were developing.

Over time, I added tools that helped me refine my channeling:

  • Applied kinesiology to test yes/no answers.

  • Meditation and drum journeying to go deeper into altered states.

  • Grounding, hydration, and nervous system regulation to protect my body and energy.

Channeling became not just something I did for myself, but something I could offer to clients as part of their healing journey.


Ethics and Responsibility

Channeling isn’t just about receiving information. It comes with responsibility.

Consent is critical. I always ask for explicit permission before channeling for someone. Without that agreement, the work lacks integrity and can even harm both the channel and the person involved. When my clients know I am channeling for them, they feel safe—and that safety allows the insights to come through clearly.

Channeling also requires self-care. Like lifting weights, it can be taxing on the body, mind, and emotions. Grounding, hydration, vagus nerve stimulation, and rest are part of my routine to recover after sessions.


Why Channeling Matters

Channeling has always been about more than predicting the future. It’s about aligning humanity with deeper truth. It has influenced religion, politics, art, science, and healing across cultures and centuries.

For me, channeling is about bridging worlds—bringing information from beyond the individual self into the here and now, so people can finally get the answers they’ve been searching for.

Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself without realizing it. A gut instinct that saved you. A vision that nudged you to move just before danger. An inspired burst of creativity that seemed to come from nowhere. That’s channeling.


Stepping Into Your Own Channel

If this resonates, I invite you to explore it further. Every month I host workshops where I teach the foundational practices that helped me hone my own gifts. And this October, I’ll be guiding women in Colorado through a four-day retreat where I’ll teach body whispering—how to open your channel, listen to your body, and even support others in doing the same.

Because at the end of the day, the goal is simple: to quiet the screams of illness and struggle and return your body to whispers.

About Amanda

Former engineer on several NASA projects turned medical intuitive. I work with female college athletes with gut pain that is taking her out of her sport. Along with the unpredictable pain, she’s struggling with depression and her grades are starting to slip. I can scan her body to see what’s wrong, clarify it for her, map the path forward, and land her back in her best condition, back in her happy life, back in the game.
