The most common form of communication with non-physical consciousness has been with people who have passed on, but that is usually referred to as "mediumship" rather than channeling. Channeling usually refers to accessing higher knowledge in order to support spiritual growth and to gain greater clarity about one's life.
Channeling is a method used to access information from entities that are supposedly more evolved and could therefore enlighten us as we move through the evolution of consciousness and back to source.
Everything is vibrational. When one channels, they are tapping into, plugging into, the frequency of the grid program in which we experience. It's like tuning in a radio. Each station, or energy plug-in, brings a specific frequency of information that we sometimes associate with colours, chakras and tones and specific evolved beings such as angels, archangels, ascended masters and teachers.
Channeling has always been part of the human connection to a higher vibration of thought so isn't a total new process. What's new is how it is perceived and received nowadays and its quick expansion in recent decades.
The holy books of all major the religions were said to be passed from Gods, messiahs, prophets, angels. However the religions often teach that these messages can only be passed to special 'approved' men and women. Modern channelers tell a different story, that anyone has the ability to channel and receive information from a higher source and this could well be the reason of the huge amount of channeled information now available.
Supported by the entity they channel a broader view on the the current energies available on the planet and how humanity is being affected by it. They can provide a guidance through these difficult transformational times.
