The Beginner's Guide to Channeling: Connecting with Souls and Spirit Guides | With Eileen March
Have you ever had a gut feeling so strong you couldn't explain it? Or created something — a painting, a meal, a song — and felt like it moved through you rather than from you? In this episode, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Stephanie Banks, a former speech pathologist turned soul channeler and teacher, to explore one of the most misunderstood and fascinating practices: channeling.
Stephanie's journey began when her mother was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Unable to reach her mother through conventional communication, she discovered channeling through a gifted friend — and chose to communicate with her mother at the soul level. What happened next transformed their relationship and launched an entirely new career.
In this episode:
- What channeling actually is — and what it isn't (not mind reading, not a Ouija board)
- How Stephanie's mother's dementia became the doorway into soul communication
- Why art, music, cooking, and creative flow are all forms of channeling
- The role of self-love in becoming a clear channel
- How to use your body as a compass for energetic discernment
- Setting boundaries in the spirit world — you have the right and responsibility
- Why spiritual bypassing doesn't serve us — and what genuine spiritual engagement looks like
- The heart's intelligence and what HeartMath Institute research reveals

Banks
Stephanie Banks is a highly sought-after intuitive channel, mentor and guide who helps people connect on the soul level. She channels from the perspective of any soul currently on the planet, souls on the other side, purely non-physical beings such as spirit guides, as well as trees, animals, and Gaia.
Connection and communication are the common themes in all of Stephanie’s professional endeavors as a speech-language pathologist, birth doula, lactation consultant, infant massage instructor, and intuitive channel. When her mother’s dementia made verbal communication impossible, Stephanie found ways to communicate with her mother’s soul. This was the beginning of her channeling journey.
As a conscious channel, Stephanie is both the vessel to receive the messages as well as a guide to provide depth and context for the information coming through. She uses her keen sense of humor, love, and compassion to join her clients in their spiritual experience. Stephanie also mentors clients in discerning their own inner voice of wisdom, enhancing their confidence and self-trust, improving their relationships, clarifying their soul's purpose, and finding their laughter and joy.
Author of the best-seller Joining Joanie – Staying Connected To Your Loved One Through Dementia And Beyond, Stephanie is currently completing her second book about her spiritual journey. In her TEDx talk I Am an Intuitive Channel, she shares her unexpected experience with channeling and invites others to discover their own intuitive gifts.
