Kanavoijista

Kanavoijista is the genitive plural form of kanavoija, a Finnish noun referring to a person who channels information, energy, or messages from sources beyond ordinary perception. In common usage the term is most closely associated with spiritual channeling and esoteric practices, but it can also describe individuals who claim to transmit ideas or guidance received from non‑ordinary sources. The plural genitive form is used when talking about the channelers as a group or as a source of information, for example in discussions about kanavoijista kertovien tekstejä.

The word kanavoija is formed from kanava (channel) and the agentive suffix -oja, with the verb kanavoida meaning to channel. The related noun kanavointi denotes the practice of channeling itself. Grammatically, kanavoijista functions as the genitive plural of kanavoija; it appears in sentences that refer to or describe multiple channelers.

In Finland, kanavoijat are typically associated with New Age, spiritualist, or alternative wellness communities. They may present channelled messages in spoken form, written texts, or public events, claiming to relay guidance from spiritual guides, deceased persons, or collective wisdom. The practice is discussed in relation to personal growth, coping strategies, or cosmological explanations, but it also faces skepticism from scientific and critical-religious perspectives that question verifiability and reliability of the claimed communications.
