Connecting to Spirit with Lisa Brandis | Intuition, Channelling & Spiritual Development

What if you’ve been searching for your purpose in all the wrong places? In this bonus episode of Connecting to Spirit, I’m sharing a guided hypnotherapy session I first facilitated live with my Spiritual Circle. It explores how joy, intuition and purpose are connected. We’ll relax deeply, connect with your inner wisdom and ask a gentler question: what brings me joy? You’ll revisit moments when you felt truly alive, reconnect with what you loved as a child and create your own list of the things that light you up. The session ends with one joyful step to bring into your week. Please listen somewhere safe and comfortable, never while driving, and keep a journal nearby. Memorable quote “Joy isn’t something you need to get right. It’s something you can continue to discover.” Lisa Brandis Resources and links 🌐 https://www.lisabrandis.com/link 👉 https://promotions.intuitivereiki.com 🎙️ https://www.lisabrandis.com/ Spiritual Circle membership: https://intuitivereiki.online/b/spiritual-circle If this conversation resonated with you, explore more with Lisa Brandis → https://www.lisabrandis.com/link Support the show Hosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International® , Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.

What happens when an intuition teacher stops trusting her own intuition? After 22 years of teaching Reiki and intuitive development, I realised I'd stopped listening to myself. This is the honest story of how I found my way back. Somewhere between building a business, raising a family and meeting everyone else's expectations, I became disconnected from the very thing I teach. In this deeply personal Season 3 finale of Connecting to Spirit , I share what that disconnection looked like, why empaths and natural caregivers can lose touch with their inner wisdom, and what coming home to myself feels like now. We also explore intuition beyond spirituality. Is it instinct, experience, pattern recognition or something else entirely? And how do we learn to trust ourselves again? A new chapter begins. This is the final episode under the name Connecting to Spirit . When the podcast returns for Season 4, it will become The Power of Intuition with Lisa Brandis , bringing you inspiring conversations about intuition, self-trust, personal growth and the extraordinary ways inner wisdom shapes our everyday lives. I'd love to hear your intuition story. Connect with me at: https://www.lisabrandis.com/link Stay curious. Trust yourself. And never underestimate the power of your intuition.

Forty seconds after holding sacred space for a student's Reiki attunement, I was standing in my kitchen being asked to put the washing on. That small moment showed me something I'd been trading away for years. In this episode I share why, after building my Reiki teaching online and reaching students all over the world, I'm feeling called back into the room. I talk about what online learning has given my students, what only the room can offer, and why I believe the attunement and lineage are the same through either doorway. I also share how my Reiki Masters are now running their own healing circles.

So many people who get scammed say afterwards that something told them it wasn't right. So why don't we listen? My guest is Caitriona (Cait) Forde, Managing Director and Principal Consultant at caIT, a Perth cyber security specialist with 25 years in IT, a master's in cyber security and a PhD underway on the human side of cybercrime. She's also the woman who helped me when my Facebook page was hacked. We talk about how scammers use urgency, fear and curiosity to override our intuition, why smart people get caught, and why victims so often blame themselves. I share what the hack cost my business. Cait shares the partnership her gut warned her about, and the simple habit she teaches everyone from corporate teams to retirees at her Scams and Scones workshops.

Could you tell if this episode was made with AI? If you've ever felt torn about using AI in your own business, wondering whether it makes your work any less real or any less yours, this episode is for you. In this episode of Connecting to Spirit, I share an experiment that changed how I think about authenticity, technology and my own voice. I record every episode by myself. No creative team, no editor, no ghostwriter. I use ChatGPT the way I'd use a walk with my dog, to think out loud, tell stories and shape ideas, then I push back on anything that doesn't sound like me. But when I heard platforms are about to start labelling AI generated content, I wanted to test it properly. So I switched the recorder on and let it run, completely unscripted and unedited, bumps and all. Somewhere in the middle of talking it through out loud, I landed on something I needed to say plainly: "I don't apologise for using AI." What followed was a clearer sense of what AI can actually do for a healer or practitioner, and what it can never touch. In this conversation, I explore the real difference between AI generated noise and a genuine voice that's simply been polished, why small independent practitioners now have access to visibility that used to belong only to big budget productions, and why lived experience is the one thing no tool can replicate. In this episode you'll discover: The real difference between AI generated noise and a voice that's simply been polished Why small, independent healers now have access to visibility that used to belong only to big budget productions How I actually use ChatGPT in my creative process, from dog walks to pushing back on anything too "markety" What editing my first book taught me about trusting someone else to help shape my story Why AI can refine a message but can never replace lived experience The self-judgment that makes this work feel harder than it needs to be Ready for the next step? If you're feeling called to stop hiding behind more polish and start putting your own voice out there, I share exactly how to do that in my free live training on 27 September.

What if the intuitive impressions we sometimes dismiss as “just my imagination” are worth paying closer attention to? In this episode of Connecting to Spirit , I sit down with Julie Ryan — serial entrepreneur, inventor, psychic medium and medical intuitive — for a fascinating conversation about intuition, energy healing, Spirit and what she believes happens as we transition from this life into the next. Julie spent decades in the business world, inventing and manufacturing surgical devices sold internationally, before developing what she describes as the ability to intuitively scan the body and facilitate energetic healing remotely. Today, she calls her collection of intuitive abilities her “Buffet of Psychicness™” — spanning mediumship, medical intuition, animal communication and more. We explore the growing presence of energy healing in mainstream healthcare, including Julie's account of hospitals now employing paid energy healing departments, and what she believes this says about our evolving understanding of the field. Julie also shares why she sees imagination as an important part of receiving intuitive information, how she approaches healing imagery, and why the language we use around illness matters to her — including her perspective on saying “cancer-free” rather than “in remission”. And then the conversation takes an extraordinary turn. Julie recounts an experience during a healing session in which she says Pope Clement VI appeared to her. She shares the remarkable historical details she discovered about him afterwards and how that experience became connected to her work exploring what happens during the dying process. In this episode, you'll discover: Julie's account of hospitals now bringing energy healers into oncology and radiology teams, and what she believes this says about the changing place of energy healing How Julie describes intuitively scanning the body and facilitating energetic healing Why imagination may play an important role in developing and trusting your intuition Julie’s perspective on the language we use around illness and healing Her simple “Is it in my best interest to…” practice for seeking intuitive guidance around decisions The extraordinary story of Julie’s experience with Pope Clement VI — and what she discovered about him afterwards Why Julie believes nobody heals another person, but that we can all be part of the healing equation How she approaches Spirit without putting mediumship, healing and intuition into separate “lanes” About Julie Ryan: Julie Ryan is an inventor, entrepreneur, psychic medium and medical intuitive, and the author of Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next . 🎁 Free Book: Julie offers Angelic Attendants as a free digital or audiobook download through her website, with a Spanish version also available. Visit Julie: askjulieryan.com Mentioned in this episode The Power of Eight by Lynne McTaggart and her work exploring group intention. A memorable thought from Julie “Nobody ever heals anybody else. If you have a big cut on your leg and you go to the hospital, they're gonna stitch it up, but that doctor doesn't make your skin grow back. You make your own skin grow back.

My guest this week had a single experience in his late teens that changed the entire direction of his life. He didn't plan for it. He didn't even know what it was called until it was already happening to him. Thirty years and 35 countries later, he's one of the most trusted names in complementary therapy. Lawrence Ellyard, founder of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists, joins me to talk about what actually separates practitioners who quietly practice from the ones who become trusted leaders in this industry. It's not confidence. He'll tell you exactly what comes first, and why most people have it backwards. We get into a strange little trick he calls the swallow test, a way of using your own body to know if something's true for you before your mind talks you out of it. He also opens up about the lessons he took home from time spent with Sir Richard Branson, and the one quality every high impact practitioner he's ever met has in common. If you've ever felt the pull to do bigger work in the world but keep waiting to feel ready, this one's for you. Press play, then don't be surprised if you start it again from the top.

How many courses do you need before you finally trust yourself? If you've invested years developing your intuitive, healing or spiritual skills, yet still find yourself wondering whether you're ready to take the next step, this episode is for you. In this episode of Connecting to Spirit, I share a moment that changed the way I saw myself and my work forever. For years, I believed that confidence would come after I learned enough. After one more course. One more certification. One more piece of proof that I knew what I was doing. Then a teacher said something to me that stopped me in my tracks: "Your apprenticeship is over." What followed was a completely different understanding of readiness, leadership and self-trust. In this conversation, I explore why so many capable practitioners stay stuck in learning mode, how to recognise when growth has become avoidance, and why confidence is built through action, not preparation. In this episode you'll discover: • Why readiness is a decision, not a feeling • The hidden reason many gifted practitioners struggle to move forward • How to tell the difference between learning that expands you and learning that keeps you safe • Why confidence comes from doing, not from knowing more • What it really means to have a beginner's mind • The question to ask yourself before signing up for your next course Ready for the next step? If you're feeling called to stop preparing and start practising, I share exactly how to do that in my free live training.

She has a doctorate. She worked on world stages — Fashion Week, serious money, serious influence. She still gets offers. Publishing articles for world-famous magazines, opportunities that would turn most heads. And she says no. Right now, she chooses her salon — her loyal staff, many of whom have been with her since she started, and the clients she loves. Not because she had to. Because that's where she's most alive. That moment stopped me in my tracks. Because it cracked open something I've been sitting with for a while — a question about money, and what we actually believe about it underneath all the strategies, the income goals, and the business plans. Most of us were taught to earn money, save it, spend it carefully. We weren't taught how to be in relationship with it. How to love it. How to trust it as a partner in what we're building. In this episode I'm sharing what has genuinely shifted for me — not as a framework, not as five steps to financial abundance, but as what's been real and true in my own experience of money and the energy we bring to it. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things on paper and still feel like money is something you're chasing rather than receiving, this conversation is for you. By the end of this episode, you may start to see money not as something to earn harder — but as an energy that follows alignment, love, and the courage to build what genuinely calls you forward. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why where your money goes reveals where your heart truly is How to shift from chasing money to being in relationship with it The simple practice that transforms how you see every business expense Why the people at your money table can quietly dismantle your confidence What it looks like to make decisions from intuition rather than fear 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: 1️⃣ Heart-led investing changes your energy, not just your decisions The question isn't just "what's the return?" It's "who will I become if I say yes to this?" 2️⃣ Money follows love The most magnetic thing you can do for your business is be genuinely in your element. People feel it. Clients feel it. Opportunities feel it. 3️⃣ Choose your wizards wisely The people you allow into your money story matter enormously. Give that seat only to those who actually believe in what you're building.

A spiritual business rarely begins with more clients. It doesn’t start with another qualification, a better website, or finally feeling confident enough. More often, it begins with a decision. The moment you stop treating your work like something you do quietly on the side… and start taking yourself seriously as a practitioner. In this episode, I’m sharing one of the biggest crossroads in my own journey — a time when I lost part-time work, was told to get another job for security, and had to decide whether I would fully commit to the path I’d started building through Reiki and teaching. At the time, I didn’t feel ready. I was scared. I didn’t have complete confidence. But looking back now, I can see that one decision quietly shaped everything that came after — from local workshops in Perth to building a global Reiki education school. If you’ve ever wondered whether your healing work could become something more, questioned whether you’re “ready”, or struggled to fully own your gifts as meaningful work, this conversation is for you. By the end of this episode, you may start to see the difference between having a spiritual hobby… and becoming the practitioner who finally backs herself. In This Episode We Explore: • The subtle difference between a spiritual hobby and a spiritual business • Why confidence often develops after commitment — not before it • The identity shift that happens when you stop minimising your work • Why small decisions repeated over time create long-term growth • How purpose-led work feels different from simply working for a pay cheque • The opportunities available now for practitioners to build meaningful, flexible businesses 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: 1️⃣ A practitioner identity begins long before external success appears The biggest shift often isn’t income or clients. It’s the moment you stop saying, “I just do this on the side,” and begin owning who you are. 2️⃣ Confidence doesn’t always come before commitment Many people wait to feel ready before taking action. Often, confidence is built through the decision to move forward despite uncertainty. 3️⃣ Meaningful businesses are usually built through small repeated choices Long-term growth rarely happens through one giant leap. More often, it’s the result of small decisions made consistently over time.

There's a reason so many gifted, sensitive, heart-centred women stay invisible in their work — and it's not the one most people assume. It's not fear of judgment. It's not worrying about what family will think. The real reason goes deeper than that, and once you understand it, everything changes. In this episode I'm sharing what I've witnessed after teaching thousands of intuitive practitioners over 23 years — the hidden fear that keeps the most gifted healers from stepping forward, why your sensitivity is actually the thing that makes you safe to do this work, and why staying small isn't just costing you. It's costing the people who need you. In this episode you'll discover: The real fear underneath visibility blocks that nobody talks about Why your deep care for others is proof you're meant to do this work — not a reason to hide How your body wisdom protects both you and your clients when you're channeling What real integrity looks like when you make mistakes as a practitioner Why trust only develops if you actually start If you've been circling the edge of fully stepping into your gifts, this one is for you. 👉 Free live training — Turn Your Healing Gifts Into a Profitable Practice: https://www.lisabrandis.com/home 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/e5CJYW-f8Kg 🌐 https://linkin.bio/lisabrandis Support the show Hosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International® , Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.

There’s a question I’ve been sitting with recently… and it might change the way you think about channeling completely. In this episode, I explore one of the most important (and often misunderstood) aspects of intuitive work: 👉 Are we accessing higher guidance… or subtly giving our power away? We dive into: The difference between channeling and inner wisdom Why discernment matters more than accuracy How your state (stress, regulation, grounding) impacts what you receive The truth about “guides” vs your own consciousness Why two things can be true at once when it comes to channeling I also share a live channeled transmission from Anya, so you can feel the difference—not just understand it. This isn’t about choosing the “right” way. It’s about learning how to stay in your authority—no matter how the guidance comes through.

Have you ever received something, a feeling, a message, a sense, and immediately thought, I’m just making this up ? Because what if that’s not what’s happening at all? What if you’re already channeling… and the only thing getting in the way is that you don’t trust it yet? In this episode, I’m speaking to the experience of receiving something subtle and dismissing it before it’s even given the chance to develop. Because channeling doesn’t usually begin in the way people expect. It’s not always clear. It’s not always strong. And it rarely feels undeniable at the beginning. Instead, it often shows up quietly. As a shift in your awareness. A feeling in the body. A thought that feels slightly different to your usual thinking. And because it’s happening through you, it’s very easy to question it… or assume it isn’t real. I share a personal experience from a practice session that shaped how I understand this work, and what it revealed about trust, choice, and the way we work with spirit. Because even when something is coming through, you don’t lose control. You don’t override your body. You don’t ignore what doesn’t feel right. You are part of it. And the moment you start to recognise that, something begins to shift. This episode isn’t about trying to receive more. It’s about recognising what’s already there, and beginning to trust what you’re channeling. You’re not learning how to channel. You’re learning how to trust what’s already coming through. If this resonated, go back and listen to the episode "Channeling Is Not What You Think It Is (The Truth Explained)" on what channeling actually is. It will give you the foundation for everything you’re starting to notice now.

Channeling is not what you think it is. You are not being taken over. You are not losing control and you’re definitely not opening yourself up to something dark. In this episode, I’m breaking down what channeling actually is — not the version you’ve seen in movies, and not the fear-based stories people often believe, but the real, grounded human experience of it.

You’re not lacking intuition — you’re just not recognising it. The more you notice it, the stronger it becomes. Once you begin recognising your intuition, the next step is learning how to strengthen it. In this episode, I share simple, practical ways to deepen your connection to intuition and start trusting it in your everyday life. Rather than something mysterious or out of reach, intuition is already present — it just requires awareness, space, and trust. I also share a personal story of following a strong intuitive nudge that led to an unexpected and meaningful reconnection, showing how intuition often guides us one step at a time. We explore why slowing down is essential, how overthinking blocks intuitive guidance, and how shifting your focus away from needing to be “right” allows your intuition to come through more clearly. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re intuitive, or wondered how to strengthen it, this episode will help you see that it’s already there — and show you how to begin working with it more consciously.

What if you've never lacked intuition — you've just been misreading it? In this episode, I'm sharing the framework I've refined over more than 20 years of doing this work: the Three Voices. True inspired guidance, fear, and your own thinking mind. Each one shows up when you tune in. Knowing which is which is where real trust begins. Through my own stories — including a moment of embarrassment on tour with my business coach, a nerve-filled first live channelling demo, and a sleepless spiral that finally broke open into guidance — I walk you through exactly how each voice feels in the body, and the simple discernment key for each one. You'll discover why fear doesn't announce itself, why your guides can't reach you when your mind is drowning in the problem, and what to do instead. I close this episode with a live channelled message from Anya — a collective of spirit guides — speaking directly to your capacity to receive guidance right now. If you've ever talked yourself out of a feeling you now wish you'd trusted, this one's for you. 🎙 Subscribe so you don't miss the next episode 📩 Send me a message if this landed — I genuinely love hearing from you 🤝 Share this with one person who needs it today Support the show Hosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International® , Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.

Have you ever had a moment where something inside you just knew — not because you had the evidence, not because it made logical sense, but because something deeper within you simply said yes… or no? In this episode of Connecting to Spirit , I explore how intuition often appears quietly in everyday moments. It might be a sudden impulse to answer a phone call, an instant sense of connection with someone new, or a small inner nudge that leads to something far bigger than you ever expected. I share several personal stories from my own journey — including a moment when trusting a simple intuitive feeling led to an opportunity I never saw coming, and another where an unexpected act of kindness changed the course of my work in ways I could never have planned. What I’ve learned over the years is that intuition doesn’t usually shout. It arrives quickly and quietly, often before the logical mind has time to analyse it. The challenge is that the mind often arrives right afterwards with questions, doubts, and reasons to ignore it. But when you begin recognising these signals and learning to trust them, life can start unfolding in ways that feel deeply aligned with your spiritual path. In this episode I share: • How intuition often appears through small everyday nudges • Why the logical mind can talk us out of intuitive guidance • Personal stories of intuition leading to unexpected opportunities • How genuine connection and alignment can open surprising doors • Why intuition becomes stronger the more you learn to listen Learning to trust your intuition may be one of the most powerful skills you develop — because the guidance you’re searching for has been within you all along.

Your intuition often speaks before your mind — but many people have been conditioned not to trust it. In this episode of Connecting to Spirit , I explore the powerful relationship between intuition and personal responsibility, and why learning to trust your inner guidance can transform your life. I begin by sharing one of the first lessons I learned during my early Reiki training — a simple but profound teaching about emotional responsibility and the stories we choose to hold onto. From there, we explore what intuition actually is. Not something mystical or vague, but a powerful biological early-warning system designed to guide and protect us. I also share a deeply personal story about my daughter that became a defining moment in my own journey of learning to trust intuition fully and follow it with courage. If you’ve ever second-guessed your inner knowing, felt the tension between intuition and logic, or wondered how to develop stronger intuitive awareness, this episode will help you reconnect with the guidance that already lives within you. In this episode you'll discover • The Reiki teaching that changed how I take responsibility for my emotions • Why intuition often arrives before logic • How your nervous system processes intuitive signals instantly • Why we override our inner knowing • How Intuitive Reiki can help develop intuition and spiritual awareness Learning to listen to your intuition may be one of the most important skills you ever develop — because the guidance you’re searching for has always been within you.
