Jennifer Porter, Channeling Lecture notes p. 7 «Some channelers work in a light trance, in which they are fully conscious of what is being said or done, but also in which conscious control of their voices and bodies is given to the visiting spirit entity. Others work in deep trance, in which they are totally unaware of anything said or done while in trance state. Some speak the messages of the spirit entity verbally, others use automatic writing to communicate the message. Some present messages in their own voices, others take on the characteristics of posture, voice intonation, accent, etc. of the visiting entity. Some work in small private groups, others work on public platforms with hundreds in the audience.»
