Rachel Chamness, Shamanic Channel and Mentor
From the Sound Waves Heal archives: Meg Heldens, one of my early trance channeling students and a former TAG Team contributor, shares her personal experience of learning with me. This story reflects her experience at the time she wrote it. The course levels mentioned are part of that history; you can explore current trance channeling training here.
How My Trance Channeling Training Developed
As a Trance Channel Medium, I bring forth many beings regularly in what you might call a full body channel.
Learning to trance channel really changed my life. I realized I could do any kind of healing or retrieve any kind of information, just by channeling the right high vibrational Spirit.
When I first started teaching Trance Channeling Mediumship,
I just started with Level 1, teaching people to channel and connect with their most important Spirit Guides in several different ways. But my students kept asking for more levels, so I eventually made four levels of trance channeling. Meg Heldens was one of my first students, and it was a joy to watch her develop her trance channeling. Meg contributed several years to TAG Team and we enjoy many of her channels in the TAG Lightworker Library.
I asked Meg to write a little about her experience with trance channeling. Since I’m not a huge fan of talking to the dead on the regular, I asked Spirit to give us a way to turn this ability on or off and added it to the Level 4 Trance Channel Mediumship program. BEST. THING. EVER. Because of this, I never experience any bleed-through of human spirits in my everyday life, and I’m able to work with my ability when I choose to—not when I don’t.
This highest level of Trance Channeling now also includes shamanic trance. It helps complete the professional Psychic Medium’s training, supporting them in channeling different types of beings for clients while deepening their protection and understanding. It is an honor to teach.
Meg shared many dramatic experiences with me during those years. I always thought they could make an incredibly interesting book one day.
Meg’s experience was unusually intense, and not everyone’s psychic development looks like this. Learning to take control of your psychic senses, set clear boundaries, and stand in your own power can benefit anyone developing these abilities. Her story shows just how life-changing those skills can be.
PS: Meg and I had a past life together in Atlantis where we were cousins.
Meg’s Journey into Trance Channeling
By Meg Heldens, Trance Channel Medium at Soul Space with Meg
Back in 2018, I was sitting in a hotel room in Vienna looking for answers. I knew I was a sensitive, a psychic, even possibly a Medium, but I had no control. Things would follow me, try to talk to me as I slept, and run through my house.
Everywhere I went, I heard knocking and saw things falling off tables. People avoided me because they knew that, if they came near me, something weird would happen.
I remember my maternal grandmother’s brothers, who had passed away, visiting her house in spirit the year before she died. I would see them playing cards and hear them laughing.
We were standing in the kitchen when I saw her brother George motion for me to be quiet. Then he picked up a tin of cookies and threw it across the room. My grandmother screamed. It took me 30 minutes to convince her that the tin had fallen off the table by itself and that she had imagined the rest. The look of terror on her face, before I convinced her that nothing had happened, solidified my decision to pretend to be normal and boring.
I had relatives with the same problem, but they drank to dull the sound.
I remember my Dad´s mother telling me an 8 a.m. beer makes the voices go away. My father used to talk to me in his sleep, and it definitely was not him talking to me, spirits would call my name, and he would talk to me, his eyes open but unseeing. That was really the stuff of nightmares. I had no desire to be a drunk, so I hardly ever drank, as that would cause me to see things and get scratched at night.
Finding Guidance and Setting Boundaries
Back to my story. In 2018, I would often scroll an old podcast feed called Lightworkers Live looking for help. This particular night, I was scrolling, and I heard a voice I was used to—after many years of them refusing to go away—say “Stop! There they are!”
It was a live video of Rachel Chamness and another medium talking about angel channeling.
I listened and interacted a bit. They both felt very familiar to me. I trusted them right away because I immediately saw the angels around them. False light workers don't have a light around them. These two had a blinding white light that made me blink.
From that point on, I worked with both of them on my spiritual journey. From one day to the next, it was a massive change and one that would change my life and make my spiritual path gain focus and direction.
Today's blog is about my journey with Rachel to Trance Channeling Mediumship. This was a long road, but a good one. First, I learned to protect myself and set boundaries. Next, I learned that receiving personal energy clearing sessions and attending meditations to clear my chakras helped me a great deal.
Connecting with Spirit Guides
After a month of working with Rachel almost daily, she told me I was meant to be a Medium and it was a gift, but I had to decide if I wanted to do it. The message that came through from Spirit was that I had mediumship abilities, but I hadn’t yet decided whether I wanted to use them. I knew I wanted to talk to my own spirit guides but was not sure about the rest. I took Trance Channeling Mediumship, level 1 with Rachel and was able to speak to my guides immediately.
Developing Confidence Through Advanced Training
I could not quite figure out why I had so many Inner Band Spirit Guides.
Most “regular” folks have 5-6. I had well over 10, if not more. I needed answers, so I did the next level of trance channeling, and it was fascinating. I learned to tell when a being was of light, and when it was a lurker who just wanted to check out what was going on.
Sometime during Advanced Trance Channeling Mediumship Level 2, I could suddenly hear my guides in my head and get thought to thought. I would literally hear, “I am Simon, I am Ivan”, etc “please know” or “please tell”…which was very helpful.
I also learned exactly how much protection I have. My guards include a massive panther, a knight, as well as Brigid and Freya. I won’t even get into the angels and galactics. People would be shocked if they knew how much protection the universe sends us all.
In Master Trance Channeling Mediumship Level 3, I learned to pick up oracle cards, to talk to angels, fairies, and all kinds of beings of light.
I learned to tell them when I was working, and when I wanted to rest. While in the Trance Channeling Courses in Level 2 and 3, I started channelling in TAG [as part of the TAG Team] which was a great relief to my brain. If I do not channel a few times a month, the pressure builds in my head, and I start to feel unwell.
People started asking me if I would do readings, so I started the site Soul Space with Meg.
My guides decided at this point no more freebies, and no more just practicing for fun. They call this an important energetic exchange. But Spirits have started coming to me asking me to give messages for energetic exchanges. This usually means I do something for them, and I usually get amazing free stuff. For instance, I won cool stuff in my local lottery, and people showed up at my house with house plants, and all sorts of things I love.
Exploring Human Spirit Communication
Six months after I started Trance Channeling Mediumship Level 1, celebrities started showing up.
Michael Hutchence, then Amy Winehouse showed up first. I was super intimidated, so I just said hi, and went on about my day. What a weird day, telling Rachel the lead singer of INXS was singing Mystify in my living room. He wanted help crossing over, and I helped him. He visits me when he wants a dose of normal. I find it weird, but whatever. If the world's hottest human wants to hang out at my house, fine.
Then when David Bowie sat across from me in a cafe, all bets were off.
I was getting a dead musician every week to talk to me. I discussed this with Rachel, and she made an Advanced Master Trance Channel Mediumship Level 4 which was a top level, so I could set up more rules and boundaries, and meet guides for each type of being I connect with.
This is my journey, I don't think all four levels are for every single person, we are not all meant to be professional psychics.
It is a privilege and a responsibility you have to decide to accept, but if you want to start the journey, you should. I can emphatically tell you that Rachel Chamness changed my life for the better. Check out her courses to open your mediumship.
Thanks for having me, and I hope to see you in TAG or 5D Daily Facebook Group,
Meg
