Hi Chizuko, Can you please give me the reference of this text? It seems there are a few inconsistencies / mistakes in it... See below. But first to answer your question: "to channel" means to direct, to guide. For example: I channel my energy into something creative. So you channel something to or into something else. I have never seen it used as "I channeled you". 1- Unless the first woman was already referred to, I would use: "One of them said"; because "the one" implies the reader knows already exactly which one of the two it is. 2- "How did you do it?" is more appropriate. The reader already knows the answer to "How did you do?", because the character says "you did well". 3- Either use the singular or plural throughout: I pushed my feeling down and built a wall around it. Or, I pushed my feelings down and built a wall around them. The second option sounds better to me, because when you say "I pushed my feeling down", I'm tempted to ask which specific feeling that is?

Thank you, Cali. Yes! the woman is, kind of, loves something spirits stuff. She often meditates with burning the aroma. I think I got the meaning. Thank you!

To "channel" someone means to let their spirit take over your body. This word is used a lot by people who are mediums, psychics, etc. However, most people don't actually believe in spirits, so it can also have a metaphorical meaning. "I channelled you," usually does not mean that you literally let their spirit into your body; it just means that you tried to act the way you think they would act. So if they're saying that they got through something difficult by "channelling" you, it means that they think you're strong enough to get through the same thing, and they tried to do what they think you would do.
