I used to find channeling so much work.

It was not easy, it was very hard.

I was never sure if I really was channeling.

Because I do not channel intricate things,

but simple spiritual messages.

I thought I would be channeling only when,

I am able to channel things I do not know.

In time, I did find I do channel things I do not know.

And, these are ordinary spiritual lessons for living.

For instance, one meditation, my spirit team taught me,

to open my heart and send love to my adversary.

I tried it, “It is hard,” I told them, “I feel this lump inside.”

“Embrace the lump and keep sending the love,” they told me.

I did, I embraced the lump and slowly by degrees,

The lump felt less and less and I was able to send love.

On the matter of prayer.

My dog was sick, I prayed desperately,

“God, God, heal her, you must heal her.”

To our puny human mind, if we exert force, pressure,

we are better able to get the desired goal.

After a while, spirit told me open my heart

and connect it with hers and pray that way.

I did and found myself relaxing.

I saw, exerting pressure effect nothing.

God, Universe is not going to listen more to me

if I exert force and pressure on them.

What I was was exerting stress on myself.

Exerting pressure and force was stressful.

And stress is suffering.

I learned how to pray that morning.
