Channeling
Channeling is the claimed ability to communicate with or receive messages from non-physical entities, spirits, or other intelligences through a human intermediary. Historically associated with mediums, shamans, and oracles, channeling has roots in various cultures where individuals enter altered states of consciousness to deliver guidance, prophecy, or wisdom.
Scientific explanations often attribute channeling experiences to psychological phenomena such as dissociation, subconscious process, or trance states. Folklore and spiritual traditions may interpret channeling as genuine contact with supernatural forces or otherworldly beings, while skeptics consider it a form of suggestion or creative imagination.
