    What If Your Purpose Is Hidden in Your Joy? | Guided Hypnotherapy Session

    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.

    When I Stopped Trusting My Own Intuition | Season 3 Finale

    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.

    I Built My Reiki Business Online. Here's What I Didn't Expect

    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.

    Why Smart People Fall for Scams and How Your Intuition Warns You First | Cait Forde

    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.

    Why I'm Not Apologising for Using AI

    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 polishedWhy small, independent healers now have access to visibility that used to belong only to big budget productionsHow 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 storyWhy AI can refine a message but can never replace lived experienceThe self-judgment that makes this work feel harder than it needs to beReady 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.  Register here: https://www.lisabrandis.com/link 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.

    The Buffet of Psychicness: Medical Intuition, Energy Healing and Life After Death with Julie Ryan

    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 healingHow Julie describes intuitively scanning the body and facilitating energetic healingWhy imagination may play an important role in developing and trusting your intuitionJulie’s perspective on the language we use around illness and healingHer simple “Is it in my best interest to…” practice for seeking intuitive guidance around decisionsThe extraordinary story of Julie’s experience with Pope Clement VI — and what she discovered about him afterwardsWhy Julie believes nobody heals another person, but that we can all be part of the healing equationHow 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. We're just all part of the healing equation.”Grab your free digital or audiobook copy of Angelic Attendants at askjulieryan.com.

    Why Gifted Healers Stay Small (And How to Stop) | Lawrence Ellyard

    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.

    Why You Still Don't Feel Ready (Even After All the Training)

    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.
