FAQS

Frequently Asked Question

Here are questions that clients have asked me over the years. If you have additional questions, please contact me by email or phone. The questions are arranged by topic.

Terminology

Psychic channeling is reading energy of other people, spirit guides, animals, or the deceased by connecting with one’s own spirit guide or higher energy. When a channeler makes a connection with another being’s energy, he or she is able to “read” the energy. The information may come through as words, visions, pictures or feelings.
A Spirit Guide is one’s higher or intuitive self. Everyone has the capacity to access this level of awareness. Intuitive ability is simply another form of intelligence.

Evanne’s Personal Experiences with Channeling

Psychic Channeling changed my life. It did not change me. It lead me to the real me, to my true dreams and visions, and to my true life purpose. I believe that everyone can create their own light and create their own life!
I am reading energy; people can choose whether or not to base their decisions on the information I give. As I was trained to do by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, my teachers and authors of “Opening to Channel”, if a person asks a yes or no question, I will usually provide both scenarios, as in “if you decide to do this…this is how it will play out” or “here are the pros and cons of deciding yes and the pro and cons of deciding no”. People need to know and believe that they are more powerful than any psychic power and that they have free will to change their decisions and courses of action.
Energizing and calming at the same time. It is the best feeling, a feeling of joy and anticipation. Often even before the question is asked, Ish will have words or visions for me, so I get excited to find out what information is available. I also love reading energy and interacting with another person’s energy. I can channel anywhere- I have done it while riding on BART trains, just to see what I am picking up around me. But when I do readings, the client is the one who asks the questions. In this way, again, the client is given the power to be in control and to decide what he or she is ready to ask and ready to hear. Spirit guides will never give information to a person before he or she is ready to hear it.

Usually in words, the first word will come and I may not know what the end of the sentence will be, but I will say the first word so that the others will flow. I will also sometimes get visions or images, and will ask Ish to explain them. This happens a lot when I work with artists or with authors, or other folks who are involved in the creative process.

I took a class with a wonderful woman, Sanaya Roman, who is the author of “Opening to Channel” and her partner and co-author, Duane Packer. It was not really a traditional class; it was only a day and half long. We did a series of focusing exercises, and then went through guided meditations to help us meet our guide. My guide, Ish, first appeared as a man on a white horse, who rode by and swept me up onto his saddle! Then, we were on a little planet, like the illustrations in “The Little Prince” and Ish was introducing me to 7 beings-which turned out to be aspects of Ish. As I have worked with Ish over the past 30 years, I have realized that Ish is my higher energy and the multiple aspects have given me my skills in many psychic areas; connecting with the deceased, life issues, health issues, seeing past lives, bringing not only Ish through me, but other peoples spirit guides, as well as bringing through the words of living people about whom the client has asked.

I have contacted souls who spoke in a language other than English in their lifetime. Ish usually just “translates” the message into English for me and the client. However, in one instance, Ish began “speaking in tongues”. I had no idea what he was saying. But my client was able to interpret the utterances and she let me know that Ish was saying prayers in another language!
Yes, usually my body posture will change, my voice may change. Many times I will feel the emotions of the person I am bringing through, and may become sad, or jubilant, depending on the energy. Twice now I have begun to rhyme and rap in my speech, something I can definitely not do consciously, when I brought someone through. I learned from my client that the person I had contacted had always wanted to rap-and that at the last party he held before he died, he did a speech all in rap. That just blew me away!
I believe that everyone has a multiple of lives on the earthly plane, and that each life is a lesson for the soul. I think of past lives as metaphors, and serve as lessons for the current life. Whenever someone asks for a past life reading, I ask Ish to describe a life that is relevant to the current life, and which teaches a lesson for the current life.

Learning to Channel

Yes, I have taught others to channel using the guidelines of my teachers, Sanaya and Duane, and also accessing Ish to help me help my students through the process. And, yes, anyone who wants to channel, who is open to using the imaginative side of their brain, and who believes that they can and are reading energy, can learn to channel. Everyone has intuition-just like any other skill, or like working on your muscles through exercise, if you work on your intuition, it will get stronger.

Because when you first start to channel, words will come through. But your rational mind will tell you, “you are making this stuff up!” The imaginative side will let the words come through. When you learn to channel, as soon as you learn your guide’s name and talk to him for the first time, the next step is to channel for someone else who you do not know. And what happens is that the other person validates and confirms your answer-you realize then that you are not “making stuff up”- you are reading and channeling energy.
