10 Spiritual Channelers Every Beginner Should Know About
What Does Being a Channel Really Mean?
At its core, being a channel means you’re an interpreter.
You’re receiving energetic information, whether it’s coming through feeling, vision, words, or intuition, and translating it into language and understanding that others can access.
We all experience this in some way. Artists, musicians, engineers, writers, anyone who’s been in that flow state knows what it’s like to “lose yourself” in your work. Those moments when inspiration seems to come from somewhere beyond you? When ideas or solutions drop in out of nowhere? That’s channeling.
Some people, though, take this ability further. They become conscious conduits, opening themselves to higher-frequency realms to connect with beings like spirit guides, angelic presences, Pleiadian collectives, or even interdimensional teachers.
The channels below have devoted their lives to bridging these worlds, sharing messages of guidance, hope, and transformation. If you’re curious about channeling, or wondering how to explore it yourself, these voices are a perfect place to start.
10 Remarkable Spiritual Channelers to Explore
Esther Hicks
1) Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks)
When I first encountered the work of Abraham-Hicks, channeled by Esther Hicks, it completely shifted my understanding of what channeling could be. The teachings are clear, uplifting, and practical, focused on manifesting, alignment, and living abundantly.
For a powerful introduction, check out the conversation between Abraham and Wayne Dyer: Co-Creating at Its Best: A Conversation Between Master Teachers.
A nod also goes to Sheila Gillette, the channel for Theo, who first encouraged Esther to explore her gifts. Sheila has been channeling for over 50 years and remains a pioneer in the field.
Darryl Anka
2) Darryl Anka (Bashar)
Darryl Anka channels Bashar, an extraterrestrial being known for his humor, wisdom, and practical approach to personal and spiritual growth.
One of my favorite Bashar works is Beyond the Secret and Into Abundance (2007), which dives into the “secret behind the secret” of manifestation. Darryl’s documentary First Contact is also a must-watch, exploring both his work and the phenomenon of channeling itself.
Jane Roberts
3) Jane Roberts (Seth Material)
Jane Roberts introduced the world to Seth, a profound teacher whose messages explored consciousness, reality creation, time, and spirituality.
Books like Seth Speaks remain classics, offering timeless insights into the nature of reality and the creative power of thought.
Roxanne Swainhart
4) Roxanne Swainhart
Roxanne approaches channeling and personal transformation with depth and intensity. She offers free master classes on YouTube and countless videos for those serious about exploring ego release, consciousness, and spiritual awakening.
Her work isn’t easy or sugar-coated, but it’s deeply transformative for those ready to dive in.
Wendy Kennedy
5) Wendy Kennedy
Wendy channels a 9th-dimensional Pleiadian collective and has done so for over 20 years. Her book Great Human Potential: Walking in One's Own Light (co-written with Tom Kenyon) is full of wisdom, love, and practical guidance for living as a multidimensional being.
Nora Herold
6) Nora Herold
Nora channels a 12th-dimensional Pleiadian collective, extra-dimensionals, and even the Faerie realm. She often moves seamlessly between conversation as herself and direct channeling, making her sessions dynamic and fascinating to watch.
Her monthly transmissions are affordable, powerful, and highly recommended.
