S5 Ep23 - Channeling the Living with Stephanie Banks

What happens when communication goes beyond words and into the soul? In this episode of Beyond the Reiki Gateway, Andrea welcomes Stephanie Banks, an intuitive channel, mentor, and author who specializes in soul-to-soul communication with both the living and those in spirit. Stephanie’s journey began in a deeply human way, navigating her mother’s dementia. What unfolded was a powerful discovery of how channeling can heal, reframe, and transform our most sacred relationships. Stephanie shares what it really means to channel living people and why our greatest guidance often comes from within. She and Andrea explore the role of the higher self, how animals serve as spiritual mirrors, and how we can all begin to access this divine connection for ourselves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about conscious channeling, energetic boundaries, and the soul’s desire to evolve through love, even in the most challenging circumstances.
