Try this first

One minute, before you channel anything. Victoria calls this spirit mode: the dozy, floating feeling just before sleep.

  1. Put the to do list down.Get rid of the to do list. Allow yourself to come into a spirit mode.
  2. Let your eyes drop.I literally look like I'm about to go to sleep. If a yawn comes, let it. That is your body regulating.
  3. Say what you feel.I don't know if this is going to make sense to you, but I'm just going to tell you it all. Write down whatever comes, even if it makes no sense yet.

What people say after watching

This is very helpful, especially the reminders to trust ourselves and the process. One of the things that has been hardest for me in learning to channel is that I keep going, "This is too easy. This shouldn't be this easy. This must be fake because it's easy!!" lol
A viewer
Thank you for confirming that yawning is happening when channeling. I was always wondering why I all of a sudden yawn and yawn and yawn when I do automatic writing...
A viewer
I've been channeling all this time and didn't even know it! Lol. I see people that I dont know and scenes when I get into a meditative state.
Amber
Thank you for sharing parts of your true self. It makes it easy to connect with and identify my stories. It is like you know me and are speaking about me.
Tina
This is what I needed.. I must have been guided to watch you. Thank you , you brought joy to my soul.
A viewer
I was part of psychic medium development circles years ago, but work & other commitments took priority in my life and I walked away from it all (cold turkey). … But have recently found you again on social media & my spark has been rekindled. I love your passion and energy, Victoria.
Melina
For me ....its the fear of the unknown! Which with more knowledge removes my fear .
Jill

In her own words

“Everyone has what it takes, but not everybody is allowing themselves to access themselves as a channel. Meaning we're always looking externally to find the answers of how we can channel rather than connecting in to the fact that we are already a channel.”
Victoria Bond, in this video
“To be a channel you must be able and willing to receive. So to go into a spirit mode is to surrender to like the body and the spirit and the soul.”
Victoria Bond, in this video
“This isn't about me getting gratification or me getting evidence. This is not about you getting gratification or you getting evidence and validation. This is about you serving from your heart, trusting, having faith.”

Questions this video answers

What is a channel?

A channel is a body, a spirit, a being all in one that is able to access different realms, different frequencies, different energies. Every single person on this planet has what it takes to be a channel. So yes, we are always continuously channeling. But what we're channeling is really up to what we're available for. When I'm in my heart space, when I am being all of me, I am being a pure channel of light.

Why can’t I channel?

A lot of people will come to me and they'll be like, why can't I channel? Why isn't this happening? I'm like, it's easy. You're trying too hard. You're trying to control the outcome. You've got expectations of what you're going to see and how you're going to see it. To be a channel you must be able and willing to receive.

Why do I yawn when I channel?

Quite often I'll start yawning, which is my body regulating. I'm just regulating down, and I'm sinking into my body, and I'm being the channel. And when we come into that space, that comfortable space of spirit mode, that is when we start melting to where we are. So we don't feel the edges of us.

What if what I channel makes no sense?

You have to get used to getting nos. You have to allow yourself to say whatever it is that you want to say, even if it makes no sense to you. I always tell my MM students, 99% of what you say will make absolutely no sense to you. Maybe it's just not landing for that person yet. But don't ever stop channeling or saying what you want to say.

“All I can see is Santa.”

The message that made no sense to Victoria, and meant the world to her friend

All I could see was Santa

It always reminds me of this story of a friend of mine. I said to her, I just had the best reading. And she said, oh my gosh, can you tap into me? And I was like, oh, yeah, I suppose so. Let me tap in. And all I could see was Santa standing in front of me.

So I was like, what does this mean? Her dad had passed. Did your dad have like a white beard? And she was like, no. And I was like, okay. Did your dad wear like red pants? She's like, no.

I could feel the feelings. I could see the things. And I said, I'm just going to say this to you. So I put my ego aside, and I said, all I can see is Santa. And next minute, she starts bawling her eyes, and she's like, oh my god.

“My dad dressed up as Santa every single year and we've been missing him so much and that means the world to me.”
Victoria Bond, in this video

And the minute I was aware of that, all the Santa clothes came off. And this is all in my mind's eye. And there's this man standing there, this tall man, this good looking man. I was like, was your dad tall? Was he quite good looking? She sent me a photo. I was like, yep, that's what I saw in my imagination.

Get used to getting nos, because it's going to get you to go stronger.

Your gifts aren’t blocked. You may just be overriding them.

Are you a channel? Welcome back to my YouTube channel. My name is Victoria Bond. I'm a psychic medium and a spiritual empowerment coach. And today I've got some really epic stuff to share with you. So, first of all, what is a channel? Are you a channel? Do you have what it takes to be a channel? I'm going to share with you three steps of how to be a great channel and also tell you how to start.

So what is a channel? A channel is a body, a spirit, a being all in one that is able to access different realms, different frequencies, different energies. Now, do you have what it takes to be a channel? Well, this is a really interesting question because everyone has what it takes, but not everybody is allowing themselves to access themselves as a channel. Meaning we're always looking externally to find the answers of how we can channel rather than connecting in to the fact that we are already a channel. So yes, we are always continuously channelling.

But what we're channelling is really up to what we're available for. Every single person on this planet has what it takes to be a channel. So, a channel can literally access different dimensions, different people's energies, and literally information from anywhere, including the Earth, people, spirits, you name it. Now, if you want to be able to access these parts, you must come into an energy of oneness, which we're going to tap into very shortly. So, a channel is basically an overall umbrella of what is possible. Everyone is a channel.

And when I first started hearing this from mentors like I am a channel, I am channelling, I was a little bit like, well, how do I do that? And then I realised something. When I'm riffing, when I'm in my heart space, when I am being all of me, when I am being my multi dimensional self, which we're going to talk about a little bit more, I am being a pure channel of light. There are three steps that you really need to take into consideration when you start channelling. So, we've got like everyday channelling, right? Where you are literally talking to a friend, giving advice.

You're being a channel. You are channelling your higher self. You are channelling from your experiences. You are channelling from the the DNA, the ancestors, all the wisdom that you have, the innate knowledge and wisdom. But also there's different layers. There's a process that I teach in my containers which helps us go deeper inward, remembering that we are the channel instead of trying to connect to an external channel.

So let's go a little bit deeper. So, we've briefly covered what a channel is, and we've established that yes, you are a channel, but there's different layers and depths of consciousness depending on what it is that you're wanting to channel. So, I want to share with you now the three steps that I think are super important when it comes to being the best channel you possibly can be. So, the first one is clearing the space. So, clearing the space is super important. Why?

Because you know we may have a room around us with walls but spirit and energy they don't stay out because of walls right? So there's energy always around us. We can take energy home with us from our day out at work. We can literally be holding on to an argument that we had like or a disagreement with our partner earlier on the day or the chaos of getting the kids to school. Whatever it is, we've got a whole lot of stuff going on in our minds and in our auras and there's a lot of busyiness, but usually it's mostly us and our thought processes. We've got to clear all that first.

If you want to be an incredible channel, you've got to learn, and this is the first thing I teach in my Magnificent Mediumship certification course. You've got to clear. You have to be able to clear the space. There's two ways of doing this. The first thing you do is you clear the space. You clear the mind. Right? You come into the space of if there is any energy in this space that's not aligned with my channelling experience, I must dismantle it or I must transmute it or I must just kind of like clear it, push it out so then it can go back to where it came from.

So that's the first thing that you do. So, clearing, that's number one. Number two is what I call spirit mode. And spirit mode is oh my goodness. I will go into a mode and I will literally drop down. My eyes will drop. I literally look like I'm about to go to sleep. And what happens is I go into a mode of like, oh wow, like I feel so comfortable. I'm like floating on a cloud.

I feel, that energy like just before you go to sleep at night and you know when you wake up and you're like, "Oh, okay. My alarm's going to go off. I'm going to be getting up soon. Maybe I'll just like doze a little bit." That is exactly what spirit mode is. Here is the problem with spirit mode. Most people during the day, in their lives, don't allow themselves to go into that state of receiving.

To be a channel you must be able and willing to receive. So to go into a spirit mode is to surrender to like the body and the spirit and the soul, right? Is to actually go into a mode like a meditative mode where you are like, "Oh, okay. I am just literally just so relaxed right now." And a lot of people will come to me and they'll be like, "Why can't I channel? Why isn't this happening?" I'm like, "It's easy. You're trying too hard.

You're trying to control the outcome. You've got expectations of what you're going to see and how you're going to see it." Right? And this is literally going to take us to the third one in a minute, but I really want you to understand that a spirit mode is like a dance between being awake and being asleep. Someone messaged me and said, "Oh my gosh, you did a reading for me and you said that my granddad was coming through, and you were so correct because that day this happened and this happened and this happened and this happened. I was like, "Oh, did your granddad come through? Oh, wow.

That's so cool." I couldn't really remember. It's like we don't really remember our dreams. You have this faint kind of feeling that you had a dream about something or someone, but you can't quite put your finger on it. And that's what happens when we go into channels. And you will see me going into a spirit mode and going, "Okay, guys, I'm going into a channel." And quite often I'll start yawning, which is my body regulating, right? So I'll be like and I'm just regulating down and I'm sinking into my body and I'm being the channel.

And when we come into that space, that comfortable space of spirit mode, that is when we start melting to where we are. So we don't feel the edges of us. The control, the to do list, it dissipates when we're going to sleep. We have to we just start surrendering to that relaxation where a busy mind often says, "Why can't I sleep?" You know, and a lot of people who want to do channelling will have this energy of insomnia, like they're like, "I can't sleep." And it's like, you're not surrendering to the channel that you be. Get rid of the to do list. Allow yourself to come into a spirit mode.

I've got a whole chapter on this, a whole module on Magnificent Mediumship where you can actually practice and you can put some intention and some prayer into the space that you're creating. Right? So, it's very much about bringing the true white light in and creating your channelling experience to be the most successful session of your life, whether you're doing it for yourself or other people. So this is what I've learned to be true is to be in a spirit mode is surrender. To be in a spirit mode is relaxation. To be in a spirit mode is expansion.

So I hope this is helping. So number three is trusting the channelling process. Number three trusting the channelling process. You can go through the clearings. You can go through the spirit mode. And a lot of people who work with me in my MM certification, they'll be like, "I'm doing this. I'm doing this. Why is it happening?" And I'm like, "Because you're afraid." And we're here to slay fear, right?

And what can we fear when it comes to us being a channel? What are some of the things that we can fear? Well, the first thing is the fear of judgment, the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of having to do it again and not being able to do it the same. We have all been trapped into a system which is very much like achievers. And I don't know about you guys, but at school when I realised I probably wasn't going to be the best reader or the best speller, in fact, school was really, really hard for me. Extremely hard.

And I just stopped trying when I was probably around about nine. I was like, well, this reading gig is really hard. Don't think I'm ever going to be that successful for it. So, I'm now a not a non reader, right? It's just like running is hard for me. I'm not made with a runner's body, so I'm never going to run. I didn't start running until I was like 30 and now I run most days.

Like, I love it. So, you've got to understand you're a channel. That means you have to have trust in your process. Now what I teach in my MM program and and all of my paid programs basically is we have these processes and we have to bring in trust as one of the biggest processes. So it's the third one when it comes to channelling. But when I go into a channel, I did this on a live stream.

The most insane thing happened. And I was like, "Oh my gosh, I don't even want to say this to one of my clients." Like, I was like, "I feel like you're an embodied person, but they're telling me for you to embody more, to smell flowers, to connect in with the elementals." Like, I was going deep into this channel and I was yawning and my eyes were and my ego came in. Right? So, that's what you need to watch about with the number three that I'm talking about is the ego comes into the process and you have to go, it's okay. Thank you for coming in, but just go to the corner. I'm just going to say what I need to say.

And what you're saying in the channelling process is what you're feeling. This is the thing you need to know. So, listen up. It's really, really important. You have to get used to getting nos. You have to allow yourself to say whatever it is that you want to say, even if it makes no sense to you. I always tell my MM students, 99% of what you say will make absolutely no sense to you.

And if you go into it, like I went into it, I had to listen to my own teachings and say, I'm going to like channel for this extremely high vibrational person who is completely embodied within herself. I know she's such a phenomenal being. She's one of my pupils, but what I'm saying makes no sense in my head, but my heart and the guides that I'm channelling, cuz I can feel the guides coming through of the true white light. And they were, of course, my client's guides coming through and giving me information to share with her cuz we were in a collaboration in a portal of collaboration which we've created. I just had to say, "I don't know if this is going to make sense to you, but I'm just going to tell you it all and you can tell me how that feels for you." And she said, "That makes perfect sense. I don't need to know how it's going to make sense.

I don't need to know why. I don't even need to know what I'm really saying, right? My mind needs to go sit in the corner. My ego needs to go sit in the corner. This isn't about me getting gratification or me getting evidence. This is not about you getting gratification or you getting evidence and validation. This is about you serving from your heart, trusting, having faith and literally channelling in a way.

This is the next thing you need to listen to in a way that feels good for you. So, I can feel guides coming through and I can see this person coming through and this person's husband coming through and then I'm seeing things in my head and then I'm feeling things and next minute, I'm standing there, I'm holding hands with one of my clients husbands and it's like the most bizarest thing. It's like, well, it's like, what is happening? None of this makes sense. To be a channel, you need to know that none of it's going to make sense to get used to getting nos because maybe it's just not landing for that person yet. Maybe you you've got your wires mixed, but don't ever stop channelling or saying what you want to say.

I It always reminds me of this story of a friend, a friend of mine, and I said to her, I just had the best reading. And she said, "Oh my gosh, can you tap into me?" And I was like, "Oh, oh yeah, I suppose so." And I said, "Let me tap in." And all I could see was Santa standing in front of me. And I was like, "Oh my god." So I was like, "What does this mean?" And I said, "I can." Did your dad cuz her dad had passed, "Did your dad have like a white beard?" And she was like, "No." And I was like, "Okay. Did your dad wear like red pants? She's like, "No." Okay. Did your dad I'm asking these questions.

I was like, "Oh, I don't know, but I I'm just getting your dad loves you very much." You know, I could feel the feelings. I could see the things. And I said, "I'm just going to say this to you." Right? So, I put my ego aside and And I said, "All I can see is Santa." And next minute she starts bawling her eyes and she's like, "Oh my god." And she said, "You know what? Like my dad dressed up as Santa every single year and we've been missing him so much and that means the world to me. Of course he would show up as Santa." And the minute I was aware of that, all the Santa clothes came off.

And this is all in my mind's eye. And there here there he is. And there's this man standing there, this tall man, this good looking man. I was like, "Was your dad tall? Was he quite good looking?" She sent me a photo. I was like, "Yep, that's what I saw in my imagination. "Get used to getting nos because it's going to get you to go stronger. And like I say, 99% of what you think or see or what you're bringing out will make no sense to you.

So, how do you get started today? That is my last thing that I want to land on. How do you get started today? Well, the first thing you need to do is you need to start practicing. The second thing you need to do is you need to start practicing. The third thing you need to do is you still you need to start practicing. But also accountability and support is very beneficial.
