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

That was the moment I remembered I’m not alone...

When I was asked to fill an extra 15 minutes on stage at one of the biggest festivals I’d ever spoken at, my heart started pounding. I hadn’t prepared for this.  First I froze seconds felt like hours.... Then I called on my spirit guide, Anya, and something incredible happened.

As I opened to channel her guidance, the energy shifted. My fear melted away, and together we delivered a message that touched the entire audience. 

In this weeks episode, I share how trusting my spiritual connection helped me move through fear, express from the heart, and turn a moment of panic into one of divine flow. May it remind you that you’re never alone and that your guides are always ready to support you. 💛

What if fear was the doorway to your intuition?

In this episode, I sit down with my beautiful student Avanti, who courageously shares her journey through my Learn to Channel course. From overcoming fear and self-doubt to awakening her inner guidance, Avanti’s story reminds us of the magic that unfolds when we trust Spirit and allow ourselves to be guided.

As we talk, we explore the real-life moments of transformation that come from learning to channel, how Reiki deepened her connection, how group energy amplified her growth and how she discovered the confidence to follow her intuitive knowing.

✨ In this episode, I share and explore with Avanti:

• Breaking through fear and discovering intuition
• The beauty of spiritual awakening and growth
• How Reiki and channeling work together to heal and align
• Practical ways to connect with your spirit guides
• The power of group energy and collective support

Avanti’s journey is one of courage, surrender, and trust and I know it will inspire you to honour your own inner voice.

What if surrender isn’t weakness, but the moment your intuition finally speaks? Discover how letting go can open the door to courage, clarity, and a deeper connection with Spirit.

In this episode, I open up about something we all face on the spiritual path — fear, resistance, and the challenge of letting go. You’ll hear the powerful story of my student Kylie, who moved from deep fear of the non-physical world into a moment of surrender that completely transformed her connection with Spirit.

I also share my own raw experience of burnout, and how surrendering in that season taught me what true trust really looks like. Together, we’ll explore how curiosity becomes the bridge to channeling, the difference between surrender and giving up, and a simple practice you can try this week to invite Spirit’s guidance into your everyday life.

If you’ve ever doubted your intuition, tried to control the outcome, or worried that letting go makes you weak, this episode will remind you: surrender is not the end — it’s the beginning. It’s the gateway to clarity, courage, and deeper connection with Spirit.

🌿 Episode Highlights

• How fear and resistance show up when you begin channeling
• Kylie’s transformation from fear to trust
• My personal story of burnout and surrender
• Why curiosity unlocks deeper guidance
• A simple practice to bring Spirit into your daily life

This episode marks the beginning of a brand-new chapter for Intuitive Reiki International®—and for me personally.
For years, I’ve carried a vision of expanding Reiki in a way that’s heart-led, intuitive, and deeply aligned with Spirit. Today, that vision becomes reality as I welcome our very first licensee, Sarah Doig.

Sarah’s journey is one of healing, courage, and saying yes to a bigger purpose. From her personal transformation as a mother to becoming a Reiki Master, she now steps into her role as the first Licensed Intuitive Reiki Teacher in Dunsborough.

In this inspiring conversation, you’ll hear:
 ✨ How Reiki helped Sarah reconnect with herself and transform her life
 ✨ The magic and frequency of Reiki she now shares with others
 ✨ Her vision for bringing Reiki to families, communities, and nurturers
 ✨ How she balances everyday life with her spiritual calling
 ✨ Why joining Intuitive Reiki International® is about more than a technique—it’s about integrity, compassion, and love

Whether you’re a healer, a seeker, or simply feeling the nudge to follow your intuition, Sarah’s story is a reminder that when you step forward with courage and trust your inner guidance, you open the door to your greatest potential—and inspire others to do the same.

I’m so proud to share this milestone with you. Please join me in celebrating Sarah and the exciting expansion of Intuitive Reiki International®.

Have you ever been invited into something that felt bigger than you — and your heart whispered “say yes” even though you didn’t feel ready?

In this episode, I share the story of my very first Reiki teaching opportunity — a moment of divine timing that opened the door to everything that followed in my journey. You’ll hear how saying yes to service, even when I felt unsure, became the turning point that shaped my path.

We’ll explore:
 💫 The magic of opportunities that arise when you lead with service.
 💫 Why you don’t need to have it all figured out to make a difference.
 💫 How Spirit responds when you follow the quiet nudge of your heart.
 💫 A channeled message from my guide, Anya, on the beauty of being of service.

Whether you’re a healer, lightworker, or someone hearing that inner call to step forward, this episode will remind you that saying yes from the heart is always enough.

I open up about how I weave AI into my spiritual channeling practice—using technology to support my work, but never to replace the wisdom that comes from spirit. Honouring my intuition and staying true to my heart is at the core of everything I do, even as I embrace new tools.

You’ll hear honest reflections on maintaining authenticity, sovereignty, and integrity in a rapidly changing world. I talk about the practical ways AI helps me with structure and clarity, while always keeping my channeling pure and spirit-led. I also invite you to reflect on your own relationship with technology and intuition, and how you can use modern tools without losing your unique voice.

Plus, stay tuned for a surprise bonus at the end. If you’re curious about blending ancient wisdom with modern technology—or simply want inspiration to stay true to your inner guidance—this conversation is for you.

Highlights:

• How I use AI in my spiritual practice
• Why integrity and transparency matter when working with technology
• My experiences with live channeling and energetic insights
• An invitation to my in-person event
• A special bonus channeling session at the end

Tune in and discover how you can amplify your unique voice—without ever handing it over to a machine.

Ready to awaken your intuition? Join me live in Perth for an evening of channelling and mediumship where I’ll channel my spirit guide Anya and offer real-time insights to guide your soul’s journey. Reserve your seat here: https://events.humanitix.com/channelling-10sep
