What Happens in the Brain When Someone is Truly Channeling By Shawna M Romkey. Nov 2025.
Channeling is often viewed as a mystical or intuitive experience, yet growing research suggests that the brain shifts into a specialized neurological state during deep trance and spiritual transmission. Studies on advanced meditators, trance mediums, and individuals in intense flow states reveal patterns that help explain what may be happening in the brain during true channeling.
From my own experience as a channeler there is a distinct shift that happens when I start channeling. One of the first signs that I am entering a deeper trance is a change in my speech. My words begin to slow down and my voice can sound slightly softened or blurred. My mouth and jaw relax, my breathing deepens, and the speech becomes smoother and more unhurried.
When the trance deepens the closest comparison I can offer is an analogy. It feels similar to sitting on a plane and looking out the window. I am fully aware of my surroundings, yet I am not directing the process. The information flows through me while I remain conscious and observant. I am fully immersed in the experience. It feels effortless and natural, as if I am both present and elsewhere at the same time.
When I am channeling Light language I am not speaking a literal spoken language. It is a frequency of vibration that expresses itself through sound because my physical body cannot hold these higher frequencies for long periods of time. People often feel this as a healing energy. I call in specific divine beings and work with their unique energetic signatures. I also use Light language with magickal work, which makes my practice unique.
Many other channelers report similar experiences. Some describe feeling as if they are sitting behind themselves, watching their body speak. Others feel a rush of energy followed by intense clarity. Some see symbols or faces, or hear a distinct internal voice with its own personality and tone. These patterns are reported across different backgrounds and traditions.
Research supports many of these reports. Neuroimaging studies on trance mediums show reduced activity in the default mode network, the system responsible for self talk and personal narrative. When this network quiets the individual experiences less internal dialogue and a reduced need to control the process. This creates the sensation that information is arriving rather than being constructed.
During deep channeling the right hemisphere becomes more active. This part of the brain processes present moment awareness, intuition, emotional resonance, and sensory information. Increased right hemisphere engagement explains reports of time distortion, vivid internal imagery, and a feeling of expansion.
Another key feature is increased communication between both hemispheres. Studies on deep meditation show greater activation in the corpus callosum, the bridge that connects the two sides of the brain. This integration allows emotional meaning, sensory perception, intuitive insight, and language production to work together. Many channelers speak fluidly while feeling that the words are forming themselves. I have experienced this personally.
When someone is truly channeling the brain appears to move from generating information to integrating and transmitting it. The brain activates pathways that are normally under used and links them into a coordinated network. This creates a state that feels clear, expansive, and effortless. Channeling may represent an advanced form of neural integration that blends intuition, sensory processing, emotional intelligence, and language into a unified process.
