Speaker 1 (00:00):
Karen, Yes, you ever tried talking to a tree?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yes, I mean not like, not like hug it and
hope it vibes back kind of talking, I mean really
connecting with its soul.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I don't think I've gotten that deep into it, but
I have told them they're beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Okay, that's a start. No, how you ever wondered what
messages your loved ones on the other side are still
trying to send to you?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, but what does I have to do with trees?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well I'm getting there. Wildest of falla wildest of all
We ever wondered what Mother Earth herself might whisper if
you really listened?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, now I am.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Guess what our guest today does that all of that
she channels humans, animals, spirit, guides, even the whole planet herself.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's exhausting.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It sounds exhausting. Maybe it's not, especially when you know
that Mother Earth is apparently taking calls and Stephanie Banks,
who's our guest, is the switchboard. Oh wow, if we're lucky,
Stephanitely might just even bring someone through live on the
show today, So I know, so get ready because by
the end of this episode you just might start hearing
(01:11):
voices all your own and realize they've been with you
all along. My name is Will and I'm garious, and
unlike Boulder and Scully.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Both want to believe.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So we've embarked in a journey of discovery.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and
metaphysical world.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences. I even
joined a coven of witches.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And wait, you joined a coven?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yep, all the interests of finding something, anything that will
prove that there's something beyond this physical.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Three dimensional world we all live in.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
This is the skeptic metaphysicians. Hey, there, before we get
to the interview, we have a small ask. If you
know someone who would benefit from hearing the messages that
(02:00):
you're sharing on the show, share the show with them,
Take a moment right now and forward this episode to
that person. That's it, just a simple ask for your
help in spreading the word. We'd appreciate it so much
and see, not only will it help get the word
out about us, but it also might just change someone's
life for the better. Hey, thanks to your help on this.
(02:22):
Without further ado, let's get on to the interview. Hey there,
I'm will, I'm caring. Welcome to another soul, Whispering tree,
Talking Universe, unlocking episode of the Skeptic Metaphosations. Our guest
today is basically the United Nations of Soul communication.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
See, she doesn't just chat with people. She channels animals, spirit, guides, trees,
even the entire planet. Yeah, Gaya apparently has her on
speed dial now. Her journey started when dementia made it
impossible to talk with her mom the usual way, so
she went sold to soul instead, and from there, well,
she's been translating between realm ever since. But don't worry,
(03:02):
she's not here to make things woo woo complicated because
Stephanie has his uncanny ability to take the mystical, the cosmic,
the quantum stuff and explain it like she's just giving
you directions to the grocery store, right with more awe though,
so a lot more laughter it too. So buckle up
because today we're finding out what happens when you're higher self,
your dog, and Mother Earth all decide to leave you
(03:24):
a voicemail at the same time. Welcome to the show,
Stephanie Banks, How you doing today that was.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
The best intro ever. Great. I'm so happy to be
here with you guys. What a great vibe we have
started off with.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Thank you for that, Oh, thanks for thanks for coming
on the show. It's always a pleasure to have you.
What you are busy? Yeah, how do you fit all
that in your head and your schedule?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, I keep it out of my head, so that's key. Right,
it's a bad neighborhood up there or sometimes so that's
no place for spirit. But I find that being heart
connected is where it's at. That's how I'm able to
receive communication. And we all are, by the way, this
is not unique to me. We are all channels. We're
(04:16):
all channeling all the time. And I just was never
told that I couldn't channel mother Earth, and I was
never told that I couldn't channel trees, and I was
never told that I couldn't channel anything I wanted to.
So I do, and I teach other people how to do.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So well that's cool. But in all fairness, I've never
been told that stuff either, and I don't, so it's
not an automatic. I'm just out there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You know, you could if you wanted to. I wanted to,
So I studied it. I learned it. I learned how
to get out of my own way, and I think
that's ninety percent of it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That is I would say, yeah, say, that's always so
interesting to me, because you, in general, you are okay me.
I feel like when someone has these incredible gifts of channeling,
mediumship and whatnot, it's a gift that they're born with
them that they know. But you're telling you studied it
and you learned how to do this, so anybody could
do this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's right. I could do this absolutely. There really is
nothing unique to me that makes me better suited except
for the fact that I'm enormously curious about it and
vastly open to it. So yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay. So I gotta know what does Guya? What does
Mother Earth talk to you about? Like, hey, stop stepping
so hard, or I need you to mow my lawn,
Like what what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, I'll give you some examples. Constantly I'm getting communication
from Guya. But it's not just Guia. I mean, there's
no just Gya, right because the entire living planet but
all her beings and we are among them. We're not separate.
We're all integrated. And so today my communication with her
(05:55):
was about a particular type of plant that for ten
years sat out on my patio and I pretty much
neglected it. I was raising three young kids and life
was chaotic enough. I had a mother who had dementia.
It was just too busy. And so this poor plant
sat in this tiny pot and waited for someone to
care for it, and that someone was not me. And
(06:18):
then ten years later I sort of woke up and
started to hear her communicating and saying, Yo, hey, hi
over here, it's tight in here. I need some water.
I had a bigger place to grow, and she'd literally
not grown, I say, she but more than like a
foot and a half because there was no space. So
I replanted this plant. This was when I was acknowledging
(06:39):
my channeling gifts. Put her outside my son's bedroom window.
He is an enormous green thumb. He's connected to all
things plant life, and she is now seven feet tall.
I know because I just went outside to talk to
her right before I got on this show, and she
It's just a beautiful, a beautiful exchange and experience, and
in the whole process, I learn more about myself that
(07:02):
I'm a plant m path. I can feel what plants
are sensing. I could feel her parchedness, her confinement, her
you know, her desperation for someone to pay attention and
give her some a little bit more earth in which
to grow. So that's just an example. Another example is
when my mother passed eleven years ago, red cardinal, a
(07:23):
male cardinal, started coming to my other son's bedroom window
every single day. And a cardinal was my mother's favorite bird.
She was just in awe of birds. And the bird
still to this day, still comes to the window, stares
at me, packs it. It makes my dogs absolutely loony.
But we have these conversations, and I know that this
(07:44):
connection is a direct conduit to my mom because I
feel it in my bones. And this bird, I just
pray it follows me when I move, because I want
to continue this relationship and I'd like it to join
me at my next home. But this is not you,
unique to me. We all can have this connection with nature.
This is the connection with Guia. And when I channel
(08:06):
Gia sometimes it's with specific questions. How can I be
a better servant to you? How can I be more
conscious about my my choices and my awareness of you?
How can I teach and lead better so that we
are coming back into balance with her, because that will
bring humans into harmony. And isn't that what all of
humanity needs right now? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Boys, that's a task?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, So I was gonna say that you want the
bird to move with you? But I mean, if only
there was a way to talk to the bird and
tell it to move with you, just you know, you
could just say, hey, I have been Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, I don't know if it will choose to, but
I've given it my address, so.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I've got one of you. I got one too, Okay,
we'll go.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
How do you find?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I guess the space isn't the right word. But there's
all this construction, cass and noise around us all the time,
and every time you turn around, something else is being
built or torn down or renovated, or new roads being paved,
and there's tractor trailers and everything everywhere, and it's so
much So how do you manage to make it through
all of that to be able to connect with Gaya
(09:26):
and with all the beings?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah? Well, she's not encumbered by the noise, and so
her vibrational field is clear, always clear, And my job
is to match mine closely to hers. It's never perfect,
but it's a process, and so I use meditation for
that and I use literally time outside. I have to
be with her among all of her precious beings in
(09:52):
receiving of their beautiful, delightful energy. So that what I'm
carrying as a sometimes tightly wound human feels a lot
of despair for the world and the direction that humanity
seems to be taking in some ways that can be released.
And Mother Earth is really the best energy I know
(10:12):
of to drain what doesn't serve us literally by going out,
and it's called earthing. You stand barefoot on the planet
and on the soil, on the grass, on the sand,
wherever you can get, and you just let this energy
drain out of you and you draw up this pure, positive,
loving frequency that is Earth energy. That's universal love, and
(10:33):
that's what Earth energy is, right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I would imagine that part of the things that guy
is telling you is, hey, how about a little bit
less asphalt? How well, well, let me breathe a little more, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah. Some of the messages that oftentimes the messages that
come through bring me to tears, like I am feeling
the the I'm feeling her despair. She does feel despair,
she does feel harm, she does feel all the things
that you would expect when one, you know, when your
(11:14):
children are consistently destroying your you know, the life that
you are nurturing and supporting, and yet she continues to
serve with the greatest of love and generosity and non judgment.
So it's a place to when I do channel pachamama,
I really try to do my part to stay as
(11:36):
open as I can and also not be leveled by,
you know, my own human aspect of emotionality with this,
because I'm an earth warrior. I am here in service
to the trees and to the animals and to all
the species that are going extinct every moment. And I
feel very, very deeply. So, yeah, she wants less asphalt,
(12:00):
to be sure. She really wants us, her children, to
come back to ourselves, to come home and to listen
for what is true, and that is our interconnectedness.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
It feels like we have such a surface life these days.
Everything is about what looks and you know, what people
other people think, and what's what's right here instead of
what's really on the inside.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Right. Yeah, have you ever I mean I'm assuming at
the very beginning, and you probably questioned whether am I
really hearing this or am I making it up? How
what brought you across the threshold to truly because you
I don't feel any doubt from you at all, like
you are one hundred percent there. How did you cross
(12:44):
that line?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well? I realized that we're all making this up all
the time. Oh and that is very freeing when you
realize that. And the reason that's so important is because
we've for some reason, the culture would tell us that
if we're making it up, it's not real. Somehow the
imagination is not real. And yet if you look behind
me at anything on my shelves, or anything in my
(13:07):
home or anything in yours, first it was imagined because
before it came into form, right, So it's not real.
That's the as real as it gets. So I do
like to tell people that if you are afraid that
you're making this up, you are. I am you are
all the time. This is the beauty of being human,
(13:28):
This is human creativity. This is where we get to
really be expansive. So celebrate that. I would not be
able to channel if I wasn't in the imagination. I
wouldn't be able to see the imagery. I wouldn't be
able to have access to the language. I wouldn't I
wouldn't have the alignment if I was not in the
place of third eye space, imagination, right, hemispheric receptivity, and
(13:51):
spiritual connection, all those places that's what allows channeling. So yeah,
we're making it up. Let's stop pretending that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Use a different word than that, because to me, making
it up sounds like a fiction. But it doesn't feel
like this is fiction. This feels like it is reality.
So it sounds it sounds like you are saying that
you need to give yourself the permission to allow your
thoughts to come through, knowing that a part of them
(14:22):
is you.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, that works, we can we can say.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
That, Okay, thank you, and I need that to wrap
my head around it.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean, you just made that up, so I'm going
to go with it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Oh my, So, so the first time you felt these
messages from Gaya, what was that like? Like, what made
you say, oh, this is something I got to pay
attention to m.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's like it still is to me. She always feels
like a very familiar frequency of just love and accept
and then these days there is urgency added into the mix,
because I don't believe that Mother Earth just sits there
with her fingers crossed hoping that we're going to awaken.
(15:12):
I believe she's doing her part to awaken us. And
so when I channel Gaia, I feel surrounded by peace
and love. I feel a warmth, I feel a divinity
of the beyond. I feel a colorfulness to it, because imagine,
this is the planet that supports all life for all time.
(15:34):
And the communication over the years that I've been channeling
hers has just increased and improved in its clarity as
I get better and more clear as a channel, as
I move more of my own biases and judgments out
of the way, and it's here for all of us.
It starts very simply. Every message that she gives when
(15:55):
I'm channeling for a group who wants to hear from her,
brings us back to the base. She always says, Notice
the smallest of my beings. Notice the teeny tiny insects,
Notice the worms, Notice the butterflies. Notice the things that
you would normally not even be focused on at the
ground level, because that brings you into wonder and amazement
(16:18):
and awe of like wow that, how is that worm
able to do make those movements? Or when you I
don't know if you've ever tried touching a worm, but
they totally freak out, right, they faught out.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I mean I think I would freak out if something
big thing come down and touch me.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Like shit. And so that brings us into a state
of all like, oh my gosh, wow, you're so full
of life, You're so full of vitality, and what else
are you doing here? And how am I a part
of this? Wait? You're creating healthy food for me through
your participation in this earth realm. So there's so much
to be honored and engaged with and awe of. And
(17:00):
every time we do that, it's a form of channeling.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Right. So this is a little off topic, but not
really because it just occurred to me. But a lot
of the conversations we've had over the course of the
last how or many years of doing the show, the
big thing has been it's not just us moving into
the five D, but rather the entire planet is moving
into the five D as well. Any messages have they
(17:26):
come through regarding that, is she cool with it? Is
she worried? What is the big message from her about
the new evolution that we're all going through.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, well, I never experienced like what I would call
anxiety or worry from any channeled messages from her. I
just experience what you and I might call the reality
of things, which this is what devastates my heart, because
the reality is that life is being lost by choices
that we make intentionally, which is even more upsetting to me.
(18:02):
But I feel as though this advancement that you're talking about,
this trans transcendence that we're talking about, is yes, it's
a collective, and she's here with that and for that
and embodying that as well, and in my channeling of her.
(18:23):
While that's happening, we are also charged with caring for
all life right now, and sometimes there can be a
bit of a bypass in saying, well, this is just
part of our ascendants and so we're going to focus there,
but actually to the negligence of what life needs from
us and is calling forward from us. So it's a balance, really,
(18:46):
I think it's not one way or another way. It's
how can we remain connected to one another and to
all the life forms into all humans in all areas
of the world, while also recognize that, yes, we are
in an expansion and we are transcending, and that's an
individual and a collective pursuit as well.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Right, So I guess this would be like a personal
guy a question because you know she's this this planet,
but you know all this life on it that obviously
I guess it's interconnected. But like I wonder, you're gonna think,
how crazy? So like all the plants in the Solar System,
I'm thinking that they would kind of be similar, like
(19:29):
do they communicate? Like is she lonely?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I mean, is she just by herself?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Or can she? I don't think to Venus, I don't
think that's crazy. I think that's really interesting because I
mean the only planet with that we know that had
life on this in this well, life as we know it,
life as we know it, but vegetation, water, that kind
of thing is Earth? Is this planet? So good question?
Is she lonely?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Mmmm?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Really good question. I have not ever sensed that from
her she's she While she keeps calling us home to
our own true nature and our connection with her, I
don't get that it's from a place of her loneliness.
I get that she is reflecting back to us our
loneliness that is the result of our separation from her.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Dang, I just got goose bumps. Wow, Okay, where to
go from there? Hold this book? But that was profound. Yeah,
and I would my answer would have been like, no,
she's too busy, like gay, get off me. We just
got her kids crawl all over Yeah, to be lonely. Now,
(20:38):
we have been focusing this conversation on Gaya, but this
is not the only entity that you channel. You do
people also, right, You do all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Is there.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Any type of entity that you feel hasn't come through you?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
No, but there are plenty that I have no knowledge of,
you know. So I have a vast array of clients
from all different spiritual backgrounds and beliefs, And sometimes I'll
have a client that says, can you channel this entity?
And I've never heard of it before? Which is fine.
I don't hear of most of what I'm channeling, and
(21:19):
that's the beauty of it. Right, I get to not
be biased when I have no knowledge of it. But
had We've really traversed some interesting energies and entities through that.
But I have to say that my greatest joy in
my particular flavor of channeling work is channeling the souls
that are here on the planet now. Because what I
(21:41):
find is that for let's say parents, for example, which
you guys can relate to and I certainly can relate
to too. As soon as I learn to channel the
souls of my kids, game changer, total game changer, I understood. Yeah,
Just imagine if you could tap in without bias and
judgment and ask their souls, what do you need from me?
(22:04):
How am I showing up in service to you? How
am I getting in your way? What? What are we
here to do together? How can I how can I
support or and or what can I ask of their
souls to honor in our you know, dynamic here? So
this has been It has allowed me to have such
a close and nourishing relationship with my kids. And of
(22:26):
course each of their souls has a totally different feel,
but we're on that level. We're clear.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think if I were to do that, our daughter
would think it's unfair. If you think you're eavesdropping, I
would be because I'd be asking did she gonna actually
take that last cookie? Or if she really did not?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I doubt it. I think you'd go a little deeper
than that quickly three dimensional question.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, eventually I get deep, but right now I want
to know about that cookie man. So, so you have
channeled entities like extraterrestrials and angelic beings and other stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Have you ever channeled anything that left you fearful?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Hmmm?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
No, yay, but let me tell you why. There's a reason.
There's a reason. Before I agreed to channel for what
we would call the public, I made an agreement with
my guides who were telling me it's time for you
to stop studying this and start serving. I was just
(23:35):
looking for another teacher. I didn't know that I was
actually gonna do this, and I told when I got
that message, clearly that's time to serve. I said, if
that's true, and you feel that I'm ready, then I
need for everybody that comes to be to experience my
channeling work to be a close vibrational match or higher
(23:58):
than the one I carry. And that is how I'm
able to not you know, to really it's deflected anything
that's dense or heavy or dark. First of all, that's
what we create as humans. I do not believe that's
any part of divine energy, and so it's kept me clear.
My guides promised they would do that. I said, please
be my gatekeepers. They are. They have never let me down. Now,
(24:20):
a couple of times I've channeled for people and I
have left those sessions feeling awful. Just the whole thing
was just a poor match. But guess what my guides
told me ahead of time, don't take this client, and
I didn't listen.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You ignored it, I ignored it.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I don't ignore it anymore, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So I'm afraid what she's going to say when we
ask her channel on the show. Yeah, st you just
ignore it, just ignore it whatever you get it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So are there any strong messages that you have been
get again and again recently. I know that you channel
for clients, for people to reach out to you, things
like that, but I assume that you do it on
your own as well. Are you getting messages that are pertinent,
that are coming through so often that you pay attention
(25:16):
to and you want to share that with us?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah? I think the thing that I struggle most with
personally is over indulging in the world events, you know,
trying it's under the guise of educating myself, which is
that's true too, But there is this imbalance that I
find almost daily for me, where I can like there's
a point at which it becomes too much, and they,
(25:41):
my guides, are working with me constantly to tap me
just beforehand, or to tell me this is a day
off or this is a week off. There will be
no stories, you know, like global stories for you. Steer clear,
stay clear, so you can be clear in service to others.
So that is what I'm getting pretty consistently. I know
(26:02):
it's not just for me. It's for those of us
who are awake to the global events and who are
deeply distressed and disturbed by them and are wondering what
kind of effect we could have, because the narrative is
that we can't right, that one person doesn't make a difference,
or I mean, that's a bunch of nonsense, but that
is what's in the field. There's a lot of intensity
(26:23):
in the field, and fear in the field, and violent
behaviors in the field and all of that. So the
thing I'm getting now in these times is be very aware,
awake and mindful of how of where my attention goes
and for how much time, and reclaim all these scattered
pieces of my energy and myself on a regular basis
(26:47):
so that I can be an integrated and clear voice
for those who are looking for clarity.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
No, that's great. Yeah, I get that message myself, and
I'm on a channel. Always are channel.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You haven't made that up yet.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I keep forgetting. I keep forgetting. Dang it.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Oh my gosh. So can you go into someone's channel,
someone's soul or high yourself without them? Well, I guess
if you channeled your children, did you have to ask
them first? Or can you just go in there?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah? I always ask. A soul never comes through if
it doesn't want to.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
So do you ask the soul or do you ask
the kid?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I asked the soul. Who's going to trust the kid?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
There you go? There you go? Okay?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Because I was thinking, no, my boy, it did some work. Yeah,
I need to talk later.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's funny because you said earlier that your daughter might
think you're being intrusive, right if you if you were
to channel her. But here's the thing about channeling from
the soul level. It's only love. There is nothing that
is negatively revealing or negatively impactful when you're channeling from
fifth dimensional consciousness, which is only the consciousness that I'm
(28:03):
in tuning to on I channel, that's that's unity consciousness,
that's the highest of loving energy. So the soul is
going to come through and only transmit that which comes
from the greatest loving place. There's not going to be
anything that is heavy or problematic. Again, we create that
as our human behavior here. So it's it's only love,
(28:24):
and it's it's where the messages make me laugh all
the time. And souls have great senses of humor, and
your daughters does too, and so's it's just a really
beautiful it's a very intentional dynamic to channel and to
receive in this way, and occasionally, very very rarely, a
soul will not wish to come through. And I'm told
(28:48):
that as I close my eyes to channel, I will
hear them or someone on their behalf say no, you know,
not for me right now. But I'm sending a guide
on my behalf. So we still get the message that's needed,
and we still get the insight and the guidance. But
I'll just tell the client, you know, this isn't actually
(29:08):
going to be your grandmother. It's a soul on her
behalf though, or a spirit guide on her behalf. That
will hear from and it will this one will be
able to answer your question.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, so interesting. So you a lot of channels that
we've spoken to in the past sometimes don't know who
is going to come through, but you specifically request different
people things to come through.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Have you ever been surprised?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
No, because it's always on request, you know. That's That's
how I like to channel. That's how I teach people
to channel. I don't like to be surprised that realm right, No,
So I really will. I always ask my clients, you know,
who would you like to tune into? Or what question
is sitting on your heart that you would like higher
(29:54):
level guidance around because we know what well, we know
what we want to hear, what we need to hear,
what we're ready to ask about. And then as they're talking,
I am listening beyond and behind their words, and their
guides are telling me higher self spirit guides, right, Aunt, Trudy,
whatever it is, and then I can tell them, oh, well,
this energy is here. Would you Does that feel okay
(30:16):
to you? You know, to tune into and they'll tell
me yes or.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
No, gotcha? Cool?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Have you had can you share with us an example
of just a very impactful session that you've had with someone,
something that's just blown their mind, and they're like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We need to take a quick pause, but would be
right back right after these messages. Hey there, it's Will.
If you have a moment, we love for you to
leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or any other
podcasting platform that supports them. Karen and I love hearing
from those that are moved to message us. It truly
does fuel our passion. You are the reason we do
(30:54):
this show, and knowing what you like and don't like,
that's going to help us craft the very best show
we can so that we can help raise the vibration
of the planet together. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Can you share with us an example of very impactful
session that you've had with someone, something that just blown
their mind and like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
All of them really and this is not ego, it's
the beauty of spirit, right. They're all mind expanding, mind blowing.
They're all giving us a totally different perspective on a
relationship that we thought we knew. So let me think
to recent clients that maybe I saw today or yesterday. Okay,
(31:44):
so a recent client asked about to hear from a
sibling who was on the other side, and nothing that
came through was new to her, which is the beauty
of channeling accurately, I think, because that's how you know
the resonance is there. So her sibling comes through and gave,
you know, minutes of transmission of information and insights and
(32:07):
guidance and support and encouragement, and then when we process
it afterwards, she's like, oh, my gosh, that was that
was him. He's told me that. Actually he told me
that when he was living. He told me like those
were the words he used, et cetera. And then I
get to just be in that. Isn't that magical? Isn't
that beautiful and powerful? Because just because he told her
(32:29):
that in his lived life, that does not mean that
she believed it. Then how many times have you guys
told each other something You're like, yeah, maybe you know,
but then we hear it in a different way, or no,
you always believe her.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I mean he should actually just the opposite. It's like,
I don't know if I believe anything. He says, no,
I'm just teasing.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
But you know, our personalities get in the way, and
our insecurities get in the way. But when it comes
through someone who doesn't like me or anyone else who's
bringing forward messages, and there it lands differently, we're able
to receive it finally, or maybe able to utilize it
in a more impactful and functional way. That I think
(33:10):
that's transformational.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That I get because I tell her things all the time,
and she has to get it from her friend or
her mother before she will actually hear transformation. Yes, for sure,
So I get that. Yeah, yeah, Now you say that
anyone can do this, everyone can do this, and that
perhaps everyone is already doing it without them even realizing it.
(33:34):
So how can you How can someone who anyone who's
listening right now or watching this right now, they want
to be more in tune with these messages? What how
do you suggest someone's start down that path?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
We actually have to shut up?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Well, I'm out then, very true.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
We do. We have to pause in silence because you
cannot receive when you are talking, or when you're sinking,
or when you're you know, going those a mile a
minute like this. You know that the culture has us
running at and that's that's the only place where the
messages can come through. We have to be in a
receptive state, so we have to slow down, and for
(34:23):
different people that means different things. Messages can also come
through while we're sleeping. You know, there's a shortcut here
if you want to channel and you feel you're too
busy during the day, or you're not able to achieve
that state of receptivity, or you're a bad meditator. By
the way, I'm a terrible meditator. I keep I keep
(34:43):
trying to keep showing up to and I guess that's
the whole point. But people think, oh, if you're a
clear channel, you're probably you probably meditate seven hours a day. No,
And when I do, it is one of the most
frustrating experiences ever because the mind ramps up and you
know there's distractions left and right. But you can start
by when you are the most captive audience, which is
(35:05):
when you're asleep and your ancestors can reach you so
beautifully and easily that you might not remember it. That
doesn't mean it didn't happen. Lots of people don't remember
their dreams. That doesn't mean they're not dreaming. But you
can start a practice where you keep some pen and
paper by your bedside and you do a ritual before
you go to sleep, just to clear yourself and release
(35:26):
anything any energy that's attached itself to you during the
day that's not for you, and then you invite in.
Sometimes I will invite in my Grandma Rose. She's so
much fun to dance with in my dreams and to
be in a playful realm with. So while we're on
the astral plane, we can be with our ancestors and
loved ones, with our higher self, with our spirit guides.
(35:47):
You can ask for answers for specific questions. A client
that I just had today told me that's what she does.
She channels while she's asleep. She asks for specific guidance,
and she sometimes wakes up in the middle with that
exact answer or the person's name that she's needing to
connect with, or a direction that she's meant to take.
So there's lots of ways to do this.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
But I want to go back to yes, dreams is
it's a great way for those of you who dream
or remember their dreams anyway. But the most important thing
that struck me when you were just talking there was
but the slowing down. There's so much coming at us
all day long, every day now, we've got this wonderful
(36:33):
invention that I wish we kind of never had, which
just screams for our tent. I have been trying to
be more mindful and be more present for a few days,
Like I've been putting that intention out there that I'm
going to put my phone down and I be more
present with my family, with my work, with whatever I'm doing.
(36:55):
And yet I find myself catching myself on my phone. Oh,
I just want to check what this email is? How
how can we get beyond the cut? I totally understand
the shut up part of it. I wish I could
shut up. I wish I could stop. And I am
(37:16):
a meditator. I meditate every morning for not ten minutes.
I meditate for a lengthy mon time, not an hour,
but you know, for me, very lengthy. But that's the
only time that I feel I'm actually shutting up. Yeah,
where the rest of the time, I can't put the
damn phone down. So what tips can you give us
(37:36):
to put the damn phone away, to start being more present,
to feel in your in your shoes, help me? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Okay, So I would say announce that that's what you're
going to do, which you essentially just did to how
many thousands of people?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
A many thousands.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Actually, yeah, So if you take that a step further
and announce to the people who matter, the ones who
are in your world, the ones who are observing your behaviors,
your children, your spouse, your family members, and you say
this is important to me. I want to be taking
regular breaks from my phone, and I'm committing from five
o'clock to five thirty or whatever it is to have
(38:18):
it elsewhere. Then you have a whole host of support
right there that's observing and watching you. And that's just
called accountability. It's a simple thing, but it's very very effective.
I don't know of a bit more effective way. We
have to actually claim for ourselves, sometimes in the presence
of others, the direction we're taking, so that we can
(38:39):
so that reverberates, so that we can rise to that.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
And it's something else you said just hit me again too.
It's almost like fomo, right, the fear missing out, Like
my phone's in the other room. What's happening on that
phone when I'm not in the same room with it?
And that's the most insane thing I can think of,
And yet it's legitimately a problem for me.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
It's like a it's such a like an oxymoron kind
of thing because you're like, oh, you can you can
reach people on social media, you can email and call
all this stuff and texting people and all this and
you're being social. Yet when you're in a room full
of people and you're being social with your phone, you're
not being social the people that you're actually with and
the people that could care less.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
You know, Yeah, I would. I would even go so
far as to say, it's not you're not really being
social in reality, in real in real life.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
No, but I think you feel like not you, but
like people feel like they are. They're interacting and they're
posting whatever and liking things and you know, being part
of something, and it's you're you're pulling yourself out of
something they actually already are part of to try to
fit into something else.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Yeah, and it's causing illness in our youth, you know,
and a detriment to their social skills because this is what,
this is their experience of social So there's very good
reasons to take breaks from it, and even better reasons
not to judge yourself for how easily your brain goes
back to this is it's an intentional addiction that we
(40:02):
are all subjected to. I'm not very true. I'm not
making anyone evil here. This is this is being fostered though.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah that's evil. I'm making it evil that it is evil.
If they made it specifically to addict us to these things,
that's that's pretty evil. So I'm just going to put
it out there.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Okay, you made that up and I'm go in with it.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Yeah. Well, to your point earlier, it's it's man who
creates these evil It's not divine. It is it is greed,
it is it is us. It is our base animal
instinct that makes these things happen, and that's unfortunately taking
over right now, and we need to find a way
back into the divine.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah, I have one more suggestion for it.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Oh please yes.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Well, so to this same goal of you taking breaks
from your phone and letting your family know that's what
you're going to do. When the break is over, you
add you tell the people who are supporting you in
this goal one thing that you got that you would
not have if you'd been on your phone.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh that's that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
No, that's great.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
No, you see how much better it is like, oh
this happened or oh we had this.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Oh yeah, and it doesn't. I'm not talking about profound things.
You could say that was the best tooth flossing I've
ever done in my life because I wasn't watching the
news well you know or whatever. Yeah. So you bring
it to the to the tiniest, the most mundane, and
eventually those things become magical. No no pressure for it
to be something profound. This is the beauty of it.
(41:36):
This is the reason why you're doing it, and you
get to illuminate that with your family.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Beck In, as the show was just getting started, there
was a time when I was very present because I
was in in in crisis. When I was in crisis,
I was very present and I would sit and just
stare for hours, not for hours, it felt it would
(42:04):
it would feel like for hours. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
I didn't need to do anything because I was just
I was. It was I was sitting in myself. And
since then, I mean that I was very present when
you know, we'd be playing that video game or you
and I would be sitting here talking or in that.
(42:25):
I loved that. That's actually I would say one of
the things that pulled me out of crisis, and now
we are a million miles a minute and not in crisis.
But I would say I'm more in crisis now than
I was back then because of all the million miles
a minute we're going to But this was wonderful for
(42:45):
me Now. I would be remiss if I didn't at
least say, hey, Stephanie, would you care to open the
floor for someone to come through?
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Sure? Who do you hear from?
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I'm opening the floor to you, Karen? Oh gosh, I
don't know what's the big thing right now? Do you
want to talk about that at all?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (43:13):
No, I'm saying what you're talking about. Do you want,
like you, your spirit guid used to come through and
give you any advice or anything like that?
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Sure, I don't know who my spirit guides are. I
would love to meet a spirit guide.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
When that work? Oh? Yeah, anything you want to hear
from is perfectly fine. Your daughter's here too, just so
you know, but we won't have to channel her. Well,
it's all good. We can do a spirit guide. There's
no pressure. Everyone's here, so so don't feel like you're
going to be insulting any soul if you choose.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
But now I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
You said I could pick.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
I don't get you. You're right.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
We could also do two messages depending on time. All good, okay, Karen.
If you check in with your heart for a moment,
knowing that you can ask anything at all for your
spirit guides to speak to. What might that be that
you are seeking some clarity or insight around health? Oh huh, okay, beautiful.
(44:18):
So let's channel your guides of health, your spirit guides
of health. So I just get quiet, I close my eyes,
and when I start to talk after a moment, it's
just going to come from the perspective of these guides
of yours. Mm. Well, that's just it, isn't it. It's everything.
(44:43):
It's everything. Health is everything, ask anyone. And you know this.
You know this because you have chosen this particular lifetime,
this particular body, this exact heart. You picked it from
among many your set of lungs, that as well, the
musculoskeletal system that you enjoy in its strength and in
its flexibility, and in its and in its ability to
(45:04):
carry yourself around so easily. Yes, carefully chosen, mindfully chosen.
So this is where it all begins. Do you have
an understanding, dearest one, of how very much goes on
on the inside at the intricate levels. Of course, of
course the answer would be not so much, because if
you did well, maybe you would have attended medical school.
(45:26):
If you did well, maybe you would have studied anatomy, physiology,
ad nauseum. If you did well, then you would be
spouting off information exactly about exactly that. But that's not
the purpose to you experiencing this particular lifetime, in this
particular body, with these particular organs. What you have chosen
here is to experience health, and then a slight side
(45:49):
step to health, and then a step back into perfect health,
and then a slight side step. And nothing here is
really meant to be colossally pro problematic. So let yourself
ease into relaxation here. Let your body and your shoulders
really really rest in the fact that you've got this.
Your body has got this. It's wisdom is beyond all wisdom.
(46:12):
You made sure of this prior to taking birth in
this lifetime, and we are here to support you through
the through the obvious ways, through the ways of the
physical needs, through the ways of the high hydration, the
ways of nourishment, the ways of movement, of exercise, of
important and meaningful relationships, for all of these are nourishing
(46:35):
points for the body to bring itself back into balance,
back into perfect health. So the question you are really
asking here is how to maintain the highest level of
health so that you may be a mentor for such things,
you may be a model for such things. And it
is since it is not your style to go off
(46:55):
spouting about well one should do this or that, because
look at me, I am doing this or that. No,
your style is more quiet, it's more subtle. You do
the thing, you reap the benefit, and then you allow
for that to be seen and felt and perceived by
others who are around you, and then they ripple that
out to their circles and so forth and so on.
And so that's what this is all about. And if
(47:18):
you want a list, and we know you do, here
it is. Here is your list for how you can
be more in sync with all of the inner workings
of the magnificent, miraculous body. Number One, look at your
nail beds, your cuticles, your fingernails, your toenails. For that matter,
(47:41):
spend some good time looking at them. No. No, you're
not supposed to find problem with it. There are no
problems with it. You're just supposed to notice. Did you
see them grow? Have you been watching that closely? Would
that not be a miracle to you? How this tissue
is moving out beyond the tips of your finger to
protect them from harm? So this is it. This is
(48:04):
at the subtle, subtle level. So we direct you to
do that now and then, And as you are marveling
at your fingernails and your toenails and your nail beds,
why not invite another to marvel at them as well.
This could be a wonderful point of conversation and something
that brings about a delightful laughter. How silly, they will say,
How silly for her to be so focused on something
(48:25):
so insignificant, And yet and yet it's not. It's not
insignificant at all. Number two. Number two. So now we
want to bring you into the hair follicles. We want
you to take notice of the miracle of growing hair.
And while you might lament how it grows out, or
the shape it takes, or the color it takes, or
(48:46):
whatever it is that you might lament, stop and notice,
how does that feel? Is that a waste of time.
Is that something worth your effort to focus in that way?
Or is it yet another miracle that there is growth
and is health there and it is happening all around
your scalp. And oh, while you're at it, how about
a nice, good, beautiful, delicious scalp massage? How will that
(49:11):
bring you back into the body, into health, into total
wellness and well being? And number three? Number three, well,
we should say that for most humans, yourself included, there
are joint joint areas that tend towards crackly, that tend
towards inflammatory, that tend towards becoming or feeling as though
(49:32):
they are becoming problematic. This is nothing for you to
worry about, but it is something for you to attend
to for Did you know that you have the ability
to send fluids to your joints? Yes, yes you do.
Did you know that you have the ability through your
hands to massage? What is that? I guess, just more
fluids into the spaces that require in order for you
(49:55):
to move about more easily, more healthfully on this planet. Yes,
yes you do. And so hands on, sister, hands on,
This time is all about claiming the health that you
already have that you already know is yours to have.
And when you take a side step, it's nothing that
is meant to throw a wrench in anything. It is
for you to awaken into the miracle of you.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Did you breathe it all through that you might take
a sip of water?
Speaker 2 (50:25):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well, we got lots to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
I do I want to skelt massage?
Speaker 1 (50:36):
Might no, guy? Very cool?
Speaker 3 (50:41):
That was amazing?
Speaker 1 (50:41):
Did I feel good?
Speaker 2 (50:42):
It did wonderful? Thank you? Thank you very much? Yeah, well, welcome.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
So I that was I could see like you open
yourself up, almost like you stepped out of the way
and just whatever was coming through. Is like you're not talking,
just let whatever comes through. Is that kind of how
it feels where you're it's not you there, You're just
kind of opening the door and letting things go through.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
Yeah. Yeah, it's really delightful for me because I'm able
to see all sorts of imagery. I wish there was
a way to have a projector so I could show
it to the people I'm channeling too, But I mean
there might be a way, and so I'm going to
change that. I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah, that's a little dangerous. Yeah, yeah, they're cancel canceled, cancel.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
Careful what we asked for. Yeah, but yes, it's really
what I love about it is that as the messages
are coming through, sometimes just a split second before the
words become words out of my mouth, I know what's
happening or where it's going. And so sometimes I'll start
to smile or I'll start to laugh because I can
see what's being illuminated. It's beautiful. And to channel your
(51:55):
soul and to your your guides rather your guides of health,
and to see that you, as a soul chose a
really robust lifetime of being in body. Yay, I'm so
happy for you, you know, because that's not the case
for every soul. There are some who choose a lifetime
of physical maladies. We might say, because there's an expansion
(52:16):
there too, but that that is not that's not what
yours did. And so it's you know, it's just kind
of fun to get a feel for. Ah, Okay, this
is the type of journey. So anything that I might
feel that's outside of the realm of what I would
call health is purely for experience of that. Oh, and
then I come back to center health. And then oh
and there's this over here. Oh fascinating, and then I
(52:38):
come back to center.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Well, so, in the interest of time real quickly, you
said our daughter was there, so can you just ask
her if she took the cookie? I just need to know.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Let's tune into her. It's no cookie. No, in full well,
she's not going to talk. Well, who knows what she'll
talk about. See, Okay, I knew it. I knew it.
You would not be able to resist this. As soon
as I dangled the carrot, I knew you'd come following
and running because that's who you are, Dad, That's who
you are. And thank you. That's what I want to say, honestly,
(53:15):
and from the bottom of my everything this I want
to say, thank you. Thank you for following my lead
because you do. Thank you for giving me more and
more space because you will. Thank you for honoring the
bigness of what I will be doing, because I'm not
so clear on what that looks like just yet, and
(53:35):
I may not be for another five five five years.
But just watch, just watch in that timeframe what becomes
crystal clear, Watch what comes into focus. Because I have
no problem sharing it with you as I am made
aware of it and privy to it, and so the
(53:56):
in the vein of your perceived time limitations, I will
say the following. Number one, you're doing a great job,
and yes there's plenty of room for improvement.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
Oh damns.
Speaker 2 (54:11):
Number two, I'm not the one who you need to
be concerned about eating the cookies. Number that's yeah. Number three,
I would like to I would like to have a
special planned outing that involves climbing climbing trees with you.
Soon soon, thank you. Number four, I want to know
(54:35):
when you feel that you are at your best, your brightest,
your greatest, because I'll be honest, sometimes I think you
are down playing it, and I might say that's humble,
and I suppose there's some benefit to being humble, but
I'm not that interested in humble. I want to know
where you are great I already know. I want to
know what you know about it. And finally, number five,
(54:58):
I want to say you have chosen the absolute perfect
partner of all time. Oh oh shows on that.
Speaker 1 (55:07):
Yeah I knew that.
Speaker 2 (55:10):
I just found out deary.
Speaker 1 (55:13):
Well that was very cool. But yeah, I disagree. She
definitely is who I need to worry about. The cookie
I mean, no, it's you. That was very cool. It
almost felt like to me, it almost felt like like
Sienna's energy. Yeah right, it felt like.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
You could totally see her saying all of that stuff completely.
Speaker 1 (55:31):
So very very cool. So how do you help people
when someone reaches out to you and say, Stephanie, I
want to connect. What's first? Where should they go? But
then what's the process?
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yeah? Well, so my sessions are on zoom and they
can schedule through my website soulinsight dot com. And beware
because there actually is another Stephanie Banks who's an intuitive channel,
not lying.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
Oh wow, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
So don't so, so go to soul Insight if you're
curious about my work, and she's lovely as well. We
just channel very differently, and a lot of times my
sessions are you know, relationally oriented. So there's like your
daughter said, there's always room for improvement right.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
Over by the way get me. Yeah, I wonder where
that came from.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
So and this is where, you know, relationships are where
we do our greatest growth, and that's why they're so challenging.
So people want to know, how can I be a
better partner, a better supervisor, a better CEO? Like I
channel for CEOs, and sometimes they'll have me channel people
that they're considering hiring, or sometimes it will be all
oriented around their family members and how can I be
a better you know, a better parent, et cetera. So,
(56:53):
but there's endless application to this work, and so you
can ask anything. There are no bad questions. We we
have so many wonderings and there's so much we don't
know until we hear it channeled, and then we remember
that we knew it all along.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
Right, that's awesome, That is fantastic. All right, Well, is
there anything else you want to make sure that we
talk about before we say goodbye this time around?
Speaker 2 (57:15):
No, I just want to thank the two of you
and honor the courage that it took for you to
channel here and allow this to come through. Thank you
for that.
Speaker 1 (57:23):
Oh well, thank you, thank you because you were the
one who channeled. We just sat and watched. Now it's
an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for coming on
the show and for sharing your wisdom. And I will
try to be better well, Sianna. I will try. There's
always room for improvement. So thanks so much, Stephan. Here's
a pleasure meaning you you too.
Speaker 2 (57:43):
Thank you guys, so much for having me.
