Introduction to Dowsing Your Guides
with Instructor, Christina M. Schumacher, C.H., C.M.H.A.

     I have spent most of my life studying different areas of the metaphysical. When I say, "most of my life," I mean from the age of eight to my current age of 46. I'm still not finished. Throughout these studies, I found that I was very much intrigued on the subject of channeling. Once I'd discovered channeling, in my early 20's, I purchased as many books as I could get my hands on. This included books written by Jane Roberts about Seth as well as books channeled to Jane Roberts by Seth. I bought "how to" books on channeling and meeting my guides, went to see a woman who channeled a group of beings, and watched DVD's of J. Z. Knight channeling Ramtha. Even now, I enjoy going online and listening to Kryon who is channeled by Lee Carroll.
     Interestingly, Jane Roberts "met" Seth through the Ouija Board which did not have the reputation in 1963 as it seems to have now. Jane was a writer and a complete skeptic concerning anything of a metaphysical nature. However, as a writer, she had to "go with the flow" when it came to what kinds of things were in demand in the writer's market if she wanted to stay out there. When her publisher came to her and said new age material was "in demand," Jane was at a loss as these were areas she knew nothing about and really had no interest in. Not knowing where to start, she decided to try the Ouija Board as it was the most easily accessible item that she could think of. She sat down with her husband and they began working with the board.
     It wasn't long and Seth came through. It was obvious to both Jane and her husband that he was a higher level being with a great deal of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual information to share. There wasn't any nonsense garbled language, but clear and concise messages full of love and understanding and knowledge about the universe. After awhile, as the Ouija Board became too slow for Seth's communications, he gave Jane exercises to do to expand her energy to allow him to come through her directly. Before long, Jane was channeling Seth through her own mouth while in a trance state. Her husband dictated every session and the books written by Jane Roberts and also those written by Seth were born.
     This relationship between Jane Roberts and Seth began in 1963 and the Seth material is still out there. Just by Googling Jane Roberts, you can find multitudes of information and, believe me when I say, the books are well worth reading.
     After reading the Seth books, my desire to channel made me continue reading up on everything I could to try to do what these people could do. Although I had a Ouija Board (an antique from 1915), according to the books, this was not necessary to learn to channel.
     Part of the problem was that I was working a full time job and raising four children which did not give me a lot of time, or privacy, to do the exercises I would find in the books on how to channel. Every book that I found stated that I had to have a special room of my own to practice meditation and that it should be set up with the "right atmosphere" to allow the energy I would need to flow properly. If you're a parent, you know that an "extra room" can be hard to come by and that privacy for meditation can also be nearly impossible. Children (especially four of them) can require any number of things throughout all hours of the day and night. If you've ever been a parent on the phone when your kids are young (and sometimes in the teen years), you know exactly what I mean. They can be playing off by themselves but, as soon as you are on the phone, they magically appear and need all kinds of things. Try doing meditation. If they know you aren't supposed to be interrupted, they will find any manner of ways to make sure they have access to you.
     After awhile, I knew that I had to wait until my children were older before I would be able to concentrate well enough and get the privacy I needed to be able to learn how to channel as I wanted to. In the meantime, I continued reading and learning about Spirit Guides - these higher level beings who were being channeled - all the time gaining more and more desire to meet my own guides. I didn't care, necessarily, how it came about, I just wanted to be able to communicate with them whenever I felt the need as I knew they would have amazing information to share.
     In 2006, I discovered that it wasn't necessary for me to have that special room and all that quiet time to be able to communicate with my guides. I do not channel through my mouth as Jane Roberts, Lee Carroll and J. Z. Knight do, but I still have full communication with my guides. I also discovered that anyone could do it if they were given the right tools and had the desire to learn. This is what I am here to teach you - how to meet your guides and communicate with them without trying to learn methods of meditation and needing to build a new room onto your home. Your guides have a lot to share with you, so come in and meet them. It will change your life in a way that you never imagined possible!
