Teaching the Intuitive Arts Worldwide For 38 Years

All classes are led by Archangel Michael and Diana Muenz Chen. Participants’ spirit guide teams are also a vital part of the learning process.

The way we teach channeling in the OHCS makes opening to spirit safe for the participant. We developed the Steps to Channel, which set up an expanded and clear state in which to channel, Archangel Michael and our guides watch over us, we say prayers to start the classes and set the high vibration atmosphere, and we teach participants how to discern the energy field of a spirit being so they identify the guide they’re channeling. All of the above are safeguards for staying aligned with the higher vibration spirit beings.

Typically, psychic senses are different from your physical senses. For example, if you have subjective clairvoyance, which is seeing energy in your mind’s eye, you will see scintillating and other wordly colors but not like how you see with your physical eyes. A chair will look different from an angel in spirit. Another example is clairalliance/clairscent, psychic smelling, which can be experienced as a knowing and memory of a scent and then may at some point become a subtle or more pronounced smell.

Consider practicing your psychic abilities as often as you can in your daily life. Please don’t exercise them just when you do your spiritual practices.

There are always two tracks going on at the same time: The first, most common track, is the experience of the physical world through your body senses. The second, less commonly used track, is the energy world that’s all around you all the time. During your daily routine, make a conscious choice to sense the energy world all around you and inside of you.

For example, you pass a bunch of trees and you allow yourself to receive their energies. What do you sense? Other examples: you’re talking to your friend on the phone and open to receive what they are feeling, your cat snuggles up to you or lays close to you and you open to sense their body. By bringing your attention to receive the energy world around you, you will gain more skill at sensing it.

Make sure to take a bath or shower before going to bed each night to clear your energy field of anything you might have picked up by psychically sensing that needs to be released before you sleep.

Your spirit guides are highly evolved beings that are with you for part of your lifetime or all of your lifetime. They are like your cheerleaders and desire only the best for you as you learn your lessons here on earth. It’s important to develop a relationship with them. Your guides have specific purposes why they are with you.

There are many different types of spirit guides, just like there are many different types of people. To give you some idea, your guides could be a healer, indigenous spirit, writer, deity, composer, physician, guru, ascended master, archangel or angel, and so on.

Your loved ones who’ve passed certainly can hover around you and can be helpers for you but typically they haven’t reached the higher spiritual levels to be your spirit guide.

In most cases, all channeling classes are conducted live on Zoom video. Classes can be recorded by students who attend.

We teach the semi-conscious trance state, which is an altered state that’s mainly in theta. You are aware of what you are doing while you’re channeling and are simply an observer, feeling expanded and relaxed. We don’t teach full trance or trance mediumship, which is the altered state where you step aside and allow a spirit being to inhabit your body fully.

From my experience, people can learn channeling in another life and bring that skill into this one for specific reasons. This makes them look like they have a “gift,” when in fact they’ve previously spent time developing their channeling skill. Channeling is a skill and like learning any skill it takes time and practice. When I first began to learn how to channel, I loved it so much that I spent an hour every day working with it. I’m convinced that’s why I grew stronger in my channeling.

This is a question that is always asked in any beginner classes we teach. There are safety factors we’ve built into our channeling classes, such as the Steps to Channel, which set up an inner and outer environment that promotes strong positive energy. Michael also clears any undeveloped beings from your energy field before channeling. In addition, you are taught to identify your spirit guide’s energy field through your psychic senses, which eliminates other beings making contact with you. We confirm when you’ve made a good connection with your guide.

We have the control when we channel- control over how expanded or deeply into trance we go, who we communicate with in the spirit world and how we communicate with them. In the Open Heart Channeling School (OHCS), participants connect with a high level being and work with that being a while to develop a trusting relationship and build their confidence. So, you can view channeling as a controlled letting go of control.

If you encounter an undeveloped being, you can firmly ask them to leave your energy field. You have the right, as it’s your energy field. If they seem to persist, you can ask Archangel Michael, a deity, saint, spirit you have a strong relationship with to please remove them from your energy field.

Over the years, Michael taught me to seek the light in undeveloped beings because they always have light somewhere within them. Then to relate to them from that place of light. That helped me with my fear around undeveloped beings and I hope it helps you.

Make up classes are only offered for ongoing channeling classes conducted bi-monthly in most cases. If you miss one of the two classes you have paid tuition for in a given month, you may attend another ongoing class within the same month you missed the class. This ensures that you learn the particular lesson Michael’s teaching in that month.

It is totally up to you how much you practice. I’ve learned that the more we practice, like any skill, the better we get at it. Channeling is a skill.

We have OHCS participants that only attend the Ongoing Channeling Classes and do not practice between the classes. Then, there are other folks who enjoy practicing channeling every day and then those participants that practice channeling whenever they feel drawn to it. There’s no practice requirement.
