Channeling in Portugal — 2026 guide

Channeling is a spiritual practice in which a person — the channel — serves as an intermediary to transmit messages, teachings or energies from non-physical sources: spiritual guides, beings of light, ascended masters, angels, collective consciousness or universal intelligence. Contemporary channeling was popularised in the 1970s-80s by major works such as 'A Course in Miracles' (channeled by Helen Schucman), Seth's teachings (Jane Roberts), Abraham (Esther Hicks) and more recently Kryon (Lee Carroll). The channeler enters an altered state of consciousness — ranging from light to deep trance — to receive and transmit information. Some channels remain conscious during the process (conscious channeling), while others enter deep trance where the entity speaks directly through them (trance channeling). In Switzerland, practitioners offer individual sessions and group workshops in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and Bern. In Portugal, channeling is practised at spirituality and personal development centres in Lisbon, Porto, Sintra and the Algarve. Individual sessions last 45-75 minutes and address personal questions: life guidance, karmic pattern understanding, messages from deceased loved ones, life path clarification and energy healing. Channeling is not a religion but a spiritual practice that invites personal discernment. Messages received should always be evaluated in light of the consultant's intuition and common sense.
