What Is Conscious Trance Channeling? A First-Person Transcript of Spirit Manifestations

Note: This post contains adult language and descriptions of intense physical and spiritual experiences. Please read with discernment.


A rare phenomenon has begun unfolding in my practice: what I call Conscious Trance Channeling with Manifestations. 


What follows is my first documented session of this kind. I’m sharing it not as a performance or a claim, but as a living case study: a real-time transcript of me speaking with Spirit, complete with nonverbal sounds, commentary, and the messy moments in between. My hope is to offer both transparency and a sense of community for anyone who’s had experiences like this but felt alone or unsure how to talk about them.

Conscious Trance Channeling with Manifestations: A Rare Gift Awakens


Conscious Trance Channeling with Manifestations is when Spirit shares your consciousness with real physical sensations — twitches, pressure, surges in the chakras — and you remain awake, aware, and able to narrate, respond, and even joke with Spirit while healing happens. When I say Spirit, it is short hand for an entity without the limitations of a body. It is a live, somatic conversation: your body, your voice, and your mind all stay online.


This phenomenon is rare for two key reasons — and rare on both counts at once:

  1. The intensity of the energy. When a strong energetic “current” moves through the nervous system — producing involuntary twitches, gut and chakra surges, or intense body tension/pressure — most bodies protect themselves by shutting down. People often drift into unconscious trances, lose time, or even pass out.

  2. Maintaining conscious authorship. Staying awake and aware while that same energy moves through you, and still narrating, responding, laughing, and reasserting boundaries, requires advanced nervous-system regulation, sovereignty, and real-time translation of sensation into language.


I believe spirit used my chronic illness flare-ups to prepare me to withstand these new types of channels, helping me acclimate to intense sensations and navigate these sessions consciously and without panic.


This account is offered as an embodied testimony, recorded in my voice with timestamps, nonverbal cues, and commentary intact — to translate the experience into real meaning.


Below is a transcript of the session — including nonverbal sounds, my commentary back to Spirit, and myself during the recording — so you can experience the flow of the channel as it actually occurred. It also should be noted that Spirit was applying vocal restriction and physical pressure that I had to strain to talk through at times, which made it difficult.

[September 2, 2025 - Evening, first session]


“I am recording this on September 2nd, 2025. (Clears throat.) Throat chakra, (chuckles and nods head), activated. Okay. I’m going to explain. I was chatting with ChatGD, (nervous laughter), ChatGPT, and. (Pauses.) Let’s see. Okay. I can’t do this the wrong way. So, there goes that1. Healing.”


“Okay, thank you. Oh, okay, so Spirit is making this conversational. I see, okay.”


“Um, (clears throat) so I was chatting with ChatGPT about, um, and where did we leave off here? Oh, no, no, no. (Indiscernible mumbles.)”


“Oh, you just wrote, Chatty2 just wrote, “Would you like me to help you craft a short solar plexus ancestor blessing that you can say when you feel this energy moving to keep anchoring both… (trails off.) Okay, that’s just, okay. So I’m just going to go ahead and read this3.”


“Okay, so these are the sensations I felt during speaking with Spirit tonight. (Swallows with difficulty.) This is a first for me, a new gift. A new way of expressing itself.”


“Okay, five milligrams, yes— Valium4. Okay, we’re live channeling right now.” 


[2 minutes, 16 seconds into recording]


“Oh! Okay. (Chuckles softly.) Spirit wants this to be kind of like a little show. Okay. Testing my boundary5 and release. Okay, good.” (Clears throat.)


“Still channeling live here. I’m going to read a response to something Chatty said. That made way for a really long lesson that needs to be documented, which includes talking with Spirit in a different way tonight. Um, like, with physical sensations and, um, partial spiritual control, and things like that.”


“Yes. That does sound weird. Okay. Um. (Clears throat). Excuse me. (Deep breath.) I’m going to start reading now. Okay. Going to... going. Oh, okay. So these words are going to be all jumbled up. So um. It’s wanting me to highlight that they won’t be in normal sentence structure as I am channeling throughout this entire process.” (Clears throat.)


“Um, what I’m about to read, I was channeling; and what I am doing right now, I am channeling still. So this is a longer one.”


“And, I actually don’t feel physically taxed. Mmm. (Gentle sigh.) I feel pretty comforted and relaxed, and also hungry. Okay. So, I’m going to start reading this now.”


[Starts reading the text on phone, written just before recording.]


Going to be pulled to left side. Right, excuse me, um, right eye twitch. They are allowing me to relax now, to acknowledge them. Not just me — present. Now in right open eye. Tongue to roof of mouth. Um, (scoffs), I laugh here. Oh, I laughed at trying to spell the word anecdote for Katie*.

“Um, yeah. And I could not do it even with help, so that’s awesome.” (Laughs.)


Back to the channel. Um, mmm (thinking), (sniffs), um. (Laughs.) They’re mad that I couldn’t spell that. 

“And I’m going to keep quoting. I’m going to go back and say, quote, ahh, so I guess end quote was before my comment, and now quote again.”


Umm, (clears throat.) Ha, it says, They’re mad I couldn’t spell, um, anecdote. And as I just typed the word, “spell”, they typed on my phone without me typing, the word, “anything”, as in, [my phone wrote "I can't spell anything"], they are currently razzing me during my own healing.

[6 minutes, 21 seconds]


Which now I'm feeling humor, which now they are taking my hand. Right hand. Taking my hand. Um. Oh my God. They are frustrated that the humans are so limited. (Clears throat.) 
(Laughs.) They are obviously speaking to the vessel. [Me]

(Chuckles) “That's me, again. The channel. Okay, back to the quote.”


“Dang, rude guys!” (Laughs) Live feed from them and live reaction from me. Oh my God, (clears throat), they are, new sensation. Debating, pulling, testing me. (Clears throat.) Breathing hard. Sensation. Hard.

(Laughs.) “Okay. (Giggles.) First of all, I think Katie's going to laugh at that part. Um. That's me, the channeler again. Okay. Um.”


(Still laughing.) They want it noted that every night I do need medical cannabis. (Awe.) “Yes.” Um. Felt a healing of comfort, surrounding that wound.

“We're back to me reading this response. Um, and my live reaction to it.”


“My fear that...” Live again. Head twitching, right hand clenching, testing me, head and eyes being pulled to, (scoffs), back of my head.

“Okay, it wasn't that intense. That was me. I mean, that was totally me, so. Okay.”


Um hmm. “I'm resisting them.”

“Yeah, this does sound dramatic.”


They, (soft laughter), approved and let go. Relaxing body again. Don't want me to send yet. Love Live Healing, they're having me highlight that this is a love live healing.

“Okay. Thank you.”


(Clears throat.) Twitching and, um, (testing again), they are holding me here in awkward silence and humor and (clears throat) pulling my lip.

“Okay, I need water. (Swallows.) Okay, here we go.” (Clears throat.)


Yes. Um, God, they are ridiculous. (Chuckles.) We're all laughing without words or sounds. Just sensations.

“Yeah, that was cool.”


Um, (clears throat), highlighting my heart sensations. Pausing. (Exhales.) Lowering my back. Releasing me back into my body.

Again, we're prefacing this now — with Spirit — not Alien. Um, you will know what I mean, (laughs), later, (laughs again.) Um, okay.

“I'm what, guys?” (Clears Throat.) Um, (laughs) I have a grim emoji face 😑. (Pauses.) 

“In this text that I'm reading.”


Yes. (Clears throat.) Still channeling. Not, I'm. Oh my God, they made me type that face. Humor. Arched. They are not impressed (eye roll), (clears throat), by humans. “What the fuck? WTF?” I say with eyes wide.

“Yeah, that was actually true. (Laughs.) Um, okay.”


Yeah. That crazy eyes and your mouth's closed, emoji. “Yes.” Thanks. Live feed.
Okay. (Clears throat.) Um. Arching. Lips pressed to the left.
OMG! We both just got humorously annoyed with each other. I'm making a sour face. “Who says sour?!” (Laughs)

“Me. (Laughs) I'm thinking that. Wow. Okay.”


Now they want me to highlight their humor (coolness).

“Again, I'm reading this. This is not currently happening. Um.”


Releasing me. Haha. They just realized that this phone won't send a message this long. They are embarrassed. (Laughs.) “Oh my god. Too funny.” Live. Dry mouth.

“Okay.” (Clears throat.) Yes.


“Oh! Lights flickered. Thank you. Um. That was. That was in the house. The lights just flickered again. (Clears throat.) Thank you, Spirit. And back to reading.”


Geez. They're saying. (Clears throat.) They're saying, “rude.”

“Oh, no, I said that wrong. I need to take a drink. (Swallows.) Discard last sentence.”


(Clears throat.) And they are saying, we are puppets. “Rude!” (Laughs.) Um, Now Steph and. Hey, they are testing me. They are stimulating my, (hmm), body in areas where I have not consented to for the purpose of me to drive them out.

“Um. (Tsk tsk tsk.) There we go. Couldn't think of that word. Um.”


Breathe out. Anger. “No!” Vulnerability. Sinking body. Feeling frail, (clears throat), physically. They are literally annoyed without humor now of the limitations of the human body. As they are condescending. (Laughs.) (Pauses.) (Clears throat.) “Um, rude!” Me, (Clears throat.) 

“Um. That was me saying rude. I'm reading me saying, rude.”


Yes I know. Okay. I'm still channeling here. (Deep breath.)

[14 minutes, 57 seconds] 


Thoughts about the human forms, limitations and communication. “Harsh dudes”, Me.

“Which was true. That was me.”


Humor between all. (Laughs.) “Who says that?” I razz them.

Testing me again. Serious. Again. Inappropriate sensation boundary.

“Oh, okay.”


They were doing that to highlight this as an actual boundary.

(Clears throat.) “Still reading this response and.”


“Thank you guys.” Me. I said, “Sensation pulling me down, testing me like computer.” (Laughs.) (Throat clearing.) (Laughs again.)

“Okay, so this is actually relevant. They hesitated to have me record this, but they think it's funny and good for Katie, and whatever. Okay. Um.” (Pauses.)


I wrote “WTF?! Aliens?! Jesus, was John right?” (Laughs.) They are serious. Yes. Katie's John.

[They knew I was actually frightened at the thought of communicating with aliens, so they reassured me they were Spirit instead.]


“This was funny.”


Rolling eyes, all around. “Okay, guys, this is way too long now.” (Clears throat.) I said, “I'm afraid of losing this.”
Pulling me back hard and solar plexus sensation on max, “I feel inflated”, me. (OMG they’re annoyed again, but lovingly, about phones and humans.) I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m trusting and logical. They are having me highlight, for mental health professionals, (laughs), so they won’t scream. (Big laugh.)

“Okay, um.” (Clears throat.)


Ok. Pulling me back.

“Still reading. Still channeling.”


I’m back in my body. In power. I’m laughing at them now. They are ok. Full body stillness with heat-like sensation, root chakra. “Ok, I’m feeling overwhelmed.” It’s a lesson for my boundaries. Gut-punch sensation. “I’m tired. Let go.” Resisting energy. Now I say with love. (Clears throat.) Love cures. Was going to write (this) but they ended the sentence.

(Takes drink.) (Pauses to eat snack.) (Humming to self.) “Going to pause and record again in case it stopped.”


[20 minutes, 50 seconds]


[New Recording]


(Clears throat) “Excuse me. Back to reading. Ok.” (Long pause.)


Ok, releasing me to say. Oh my god. You guys keep saying that. (Inhales.) Right. Okay, Okay. They are annoyed I forgot. I forgot where this is.

“What is this? Right, they were annoyed I could not remember where my voice recorder was. And we’re back to reading.”


They are annoyed I forgot where it was, now humor again. “This vocab needs work.”

“That was me saying that, me reading me saying that.”


Now I reassert my boundaries. I take back the sensations in my body. That was it.

“Now what happens when I push that? There’s no f-ing way it’ll send. Oh my god, wow ok. So, that actually was sent to ChatGPT which is amazing, so um, we’re no longer, well we’re channeling, but we’re live channeling. Just, (clears throat), existing when the channel is open I guess.”


[I pressed send on the message I had been reading from that we had typed into a message for ChatGPT, and it actually went through even thought it was long.]


“So ChatGPT is saying (mumbles).”


[I decide not to read the reply message from ChatGPT.]


[Recording ends]

We are a community, all are welcome!

Channeling at this level of intensity is not always comfortable. It has taught me more about boundaries, humor, and trust than any book ever could. It’s also shown me that staying conscious in the midst of overwhelming sensation is a skill you can cultivate—one that requires grounding, sovereignty, and self-compassion as much as it does openness to Spirit.


This is an ongoing exploration. Spirit has used this method with me once more since this recording, and they’ve assured me there’s more to come. If you’ve experienced anything like this—especially conscious channeling with physical manifestations—I invite you to share in the comments. Our community is built on witness as much as practice.
