CHANNELING
The process by which a medium can communicate information from non-physical beings, such as spirits, deities, demons or aliens through entering a state of trance or some other form of altered consciousness. Channeling is also used to describe what is more normally known as trance mediumship. The state of trance is an altered state of consciousness and can vary from a very slight overshadowing of the medium's mind by a spirit operator, to a very deep level of control where the medium's consciousness is suppressed to such a degree that the medium has no memory of any occurrences during the period the control was taking place. In some respect it can be a possession.

Empathic
Everyone can be sympathetic and most people have the ability to be empathetic,
having the ability of a strong awareness and sensitivity to the emotions of others that makes one empathic.� Empaths experience these emotions of other people intensely and rapidly, usually without being told or seeing any information of the individual or surrounding they are feeling.
Being alot like telepathy, though this being with emotions and not thought projection.
In general an empathic has the ability to feel what you are feeling literally. In return they feel your pain or sorrow which ever it may be at the time.  So when an empath says " I can feel what your feeling "
or "I know how you feel", they are actually going through the feelings as you are.
Not just saying this cause of the need to do so like so many individuals like to do, when not knowing what to say. This is not the same as a placement of feelings of a situation that they have had that may come close to your feeling. An empath can feel the energy shifts of the world and the surroundings that they are in or come too. Empaths have been known to help with cases to do with hauntings, murders and in general most unsolved mysteries. Those whom are using their empathic ability will say that it can be very hard on them at times and very draining in general. Having said time and time again that 
" I feel to much at times for my own good & yet am glad to have this ability open to my awareness".
Medium's or Channeler's
Individual's whom use their psychic abilities to communicate with the Other Side,
with spirits crossed over or with other entities.�  
Mediumship can be done in different ways, some use automatic writing/draweing, conscious channeling, trance channeling, and some just recieve messages out of the blue without even trying.�
Conscious Channelers use the senses, such as clairvoyance and clairaudience, to relay messages to people from loved ones that have passed, from spirit guides, or from other entities.�
Trance channelers go into a hypnotic state so that the spirit may use the body of the medium to pass along messages. With the exception of a few rare instances, this is done usually by sheer will.
Spirits are not known to automatically jump in and start speaking.�
Automatic Writers channel messages by writing or typing messages in which either the spirit directs the writing hand or the spirit will telepathically pass the information to the medium as they write.
Automatic Drawers are those whom work on the same line as the writers do though the spirit in some respect takes hold of the hand and draws images that are to be transelated to the individual of need. 
Pictures can tend to look like the game of Pictionary.
All in generall though to be said ALL mediums are psychic, yet typically not all psychics are mediums.
As for channeling spirits through my own body there is something I say about that,
" I am having enough issues with myself in this body let alone no room to allow anyone else enter it "
Yet if spirit or entities have anything they need to say they are welcome
to tell me and in return will try to relay what it is they are saying".
One must understand that when spirit contacts the medium in what ever form it chooses they will not say " hi this is aunt edma and I want you to know I love you very much" Sometimes they feel that you might be skeptical and sense the need to let you know a secret message that only you will understand. Mind you the one giving you the message will be totally lost at some point. Plus names are not always clearly spoken. So the medium has to play a guessing game so to speak. Like Don, Dawn and D.O.N can all sound the same. It is up to you to figure out if this makes any sense to you. 
It is frustrating enough for the medium to try to desifer what is being said then o have the readee going you dont know what your talking about. 
Remote Viewing
This is the ability to see scenes in progress at a distance.�
These scenes appear in the mind just like clairvoyant visions. There is a difference in that which is seen being something on this plane.� This is a useful skill to psychic investigators and to remote distance healers as well.�� It is a form of astral projection to help or see something that is needed more on a level of need and not just desire.  Usually thought of as those whom can go beyond the wall and see what is within the building when needed for an investigation purpose.  This is typically astral projection at will right away by choice and can be done without major relaxation..�

Telepathy 
The ability to communicate by transference of thoughts between a sender and receiver.� What is sent may simply be ideas that are transmitted, but it is also possible to send visualizations, and physical senses.
Typically something that family members and close friends or lovers can do to each other.
Hense that oh so ever running phrase " I was just thinking about you " and you called or showed up at their door or meet them in some public place.
Psychometry
This is the ability to get images from something through touch. Also known as touchies those whom have this ability open to them, can read the magnetic residue from what ever they are touching. Everything that we have touched keeps a part of us within it, some what like a recording does.
Now an object may have been handled by more than one person, so in return its history may reveal things that are not relevant to the last to hold it. Though those whom practice this can have a good idea what has taken place prior to the objects touch and whom it belonged too. This is something many can try on their own. Usually at gatherings and placing things in a basket with the individual blind folded and feeling the object. Of course another is needed to write down what is being felt by the seerer.
