Channeled

Channeled is the past participle of the verb channel, and as an adjective it denotes something that has been directed through a channel or conduit. In physical terms, it can describe directing fluids, energy, or other substances along a defined path, such as water or gas that is channeled into a canal, pipe, or duct. In information and communications contexts, it may refer to data or signals that are routed through a specific channel or set of channels.

In a figurative sense, channeled can describe directing attention, effort, or resources toward a particular goal. It is also used in spiritual and esoteric contexts to refer to messages or guidance that a person believes they receive from a source beyond ordinary perception through a medium; such messages are described as chan­neled or channeled.

Spelling and variants: British English typically renders the past tense as channelled, while American English commonly uses chan­neled. The term is closely related to channel and channeling, with the latter referring to the process of transmitting information or messages through a medium. As with any specialized usage, the intended meaning is usually clear from context.
