I'm working toward the launch of an exciting new service: www.ChannelTed.com, On that site, I'll be making available private Skpe video sessions with a few students (with the students' permission, of course). This lets you watch their process unfold and see how I'm guiding them toward deeper awakening. One of these students, Zach, appears to have had his second birth shift recently. You can see him talking about it in a clip from sessions 15 and 16 that I'll offer under "Free Stuff" on Channel Ted soon.

Here's what one viewer wrote after watching some of these:

If you've been moved by what you've watched here, I'd love to hear about it; just email me.

Below are the first few sessions. Channel Ted will have many more; so far, around 50 sessesions and counting.

By the way, aside from talking, the only other thing we consistently do during these sessions is to practice gazing. If you're new to this work and would like to understand gazing better, please read Gazing.

Please note that what I say to these people is spoken in the context of their absolutely unique awakening process. What I might say to you and how I work with you or anyone else might be extremely different. With that in mind, I hope you find these useful and, dare I say, enlightening.
