Both "channeling" and "channelling" can be correct, depending on where you live. In American English, we typically spell it with one 'l' — "channeling", whereas in British English, it's generally spelt with two 'l's — "channelling". These variations in spelling are due to the different rules followed in US and UK English. American English prefers to omit the second 'l' when suffixes like "-ing" are added to the words, while the British version retains that second 'l'. But either way, your intention remains clear — it's about directing something in a particular direction or into a particular course!
