Speaker 1: This is Pet Life Radio.
Speaker 2: Let's talk pets.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Human Animal Connection Show, where we believe
we can communicate with all animals. Join us as we
explore the thirty three principles and healing methods of the
Human Animal Connection. As animal lovers, we know that you
share our commitment to making the world a kinder place
for all creatures. Together, let's embrace the transformative healing power
of the Human Animal Connection.
Speaker 3: Hello everyone, it's Genie Joseph. I am the executive director
of the Human Animal Connection and your host for this podcast.
I am so happy to have Stephanie Banks. She is
a highly sought after intuitive channel who helps people connect
at the soul level with their animals and loved ones
on the other side, including plants and spirit guides. And
today we're going to talk about worms. These are the
hidden healers beneath our feet. We are really excited to explore.
This is probably something most people haven't thought much about.
But we're going to first tell you a little bit
about worms, and then we're going to talk to them directly,
which is going to be just so much fun because
they have just an amazing kind of intelligence. That's something
that we've long underestimated. So Stephanie, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: You Genie.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm so I'm so happy.
Speaker 2: To be here, and I'm so excited for the topic
because you and I just started beeking out just a
minute ago as we were doing a little bit of
research to educate ourselves about the wonder of these creatures, right,
the great alchemists of the planet. They do so much,
We fully depend on them, and yet so many of
us have no idea about them, and we just not
even see the miracle of them. If a worm was
laying on the sidewalk in front of us.
Speaker 3: I know, I mean, it's funny, you know, this is
I think I told you this last time. One of
my first words was I looked at a worm and
I pointed to it, and I said to my mother, GERM,
that's what I thought it was. But it wasn't one
of my earliest you know. It's funny that, you know,
I mean, I was three or something very early. But
you know, just amazing that we're going to bring them
to life. You know, we're going to get give people
an inside view of worms. I mean, we know about
how they take decay and turn it into this incredible ecosystem.
But it's they actually are like ecosystem engineers. They have
social intelligence. They're working with a level of non verbal
intelligence without eyes and ears or the brain that we
think of as a brain, and yet they work as
a team as a community. This is so exciting. Yeah, so,
is there anything else we want to tell the folks
about worms before we go and talk to them?
Speaker 2: Just again, I would say we are fully dependent on
them for life. Without worms, we do not have healthy soil.
Without healthy soil, we do not have food without food.
Speaker 3: Guess what, Yes, not here.
Speaker 2: I really hope that this episode, even for myself as well,
like touches us in a place and activates a curiosity
and a respect and a love for the creatures that
are so small. They are almost always ignored, almost always
under under celebrated, under recognized. And here we want to are.
Our point today, Genie and I is to elevate our
awareness and activate our love for all the creatures. And
we're starting with ones that are perhaps the most forgotten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's so amazing. I mean, we just don't
realize that they're very complex in the work that they're
doing together. I mean, they're literally architects of the soil.
They create these tunnels which creates oxygen, which you know,
regulates the soil and how everything grows. I mean we're
talking about some high level mastery here.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and that is their job, and their job
affects us and our job. By the way, we have
a job. We have a job to protect them. We
have a job to create safe spaces for them to
have their communities. We have a job to stop dumping
toxic chemicals where they are trying their best to turn
soil into nurturing, you know, sustenance and support for food.
Where where do we belong in this ecosystem? As they
show us their masterful capacity to transform, transmute, and give
like endless givers, aren't they?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean they are masters at renewal, which is
something that we need so much on so many levels,
you know. I mean I think we can all think
about some pretty obvious levels where the humans need some renewal. Yes, exactly.
And these are our warriors, These are our marines of renewal,
you know, y, these these invisible people doing beings, I
should say, doing this this masterful work. Are you ready
to talk to the worms? Are you ready to do that,
always ready to talk to the worms. Okay, all right,
all right, So I'm going to ask Stephanie to take
a moment and tune in. And we've told you a
little bit about how valuable and important worms are, and
now what we want to do is see if the
worms will talk to us here on this podcast. So
they're not physically in the room with us, but they
are we are sitting inside human dwellings. However, it is
possible through telepathic communication to communicate with animals and all beings,
and today we're going to communicate with the worms. So Stephanie,
I will just open it up to you and say,
what would the worms like us to know to start?
I know they have a lot to say, but what
would they like to where would they like to start?
As poor little humans?
Speaker 1: Off?
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, And I would say that while they might
not be in the room with us, they are under
our feet, they are surrounding us, so their presence is vast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's channel them. What I do I call channeling,
and I'm just attuning to the energetic frequency and soul
essence of these beautiful creatures. So let's turn it tune
into them as a collective and hear what they have
to say.
Speaker 3: Let's let's do that.
Speaker 2: We are deeply honored to be here with you right now.
We knew this invitation was coming, and we might say
it's been a long time coming. But we don't say
this with any sort of accusation or negativity or blameful nature,
for who has any time or inclination for that. We
say this with gratitude, We say this with appreciation. We
say this with with deep love, deep love, for the
truth is that we love our work. We love what
we do. We are here to churn, and we are
here to transform, and we are here to take one
form and bring it into another. And you might just say, well,
it's so simple. You're just eating and pooping and eating
and pooping, and that's all you're really doing. And we
would say, really, really, is that honestly what you think?
Because without us are eating and pooping, would you be
able to eat and poop? And isn't that really all
you humans do? Anyway? So with joy and with laughter
and with playfulness, we invite you into our world. Come in,
Come in, Come in a little closer.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: You will want your eyes to adjust. There is darkness here,
there is meant to be darkness here. We work best,
of course, in the shadow, without the light. It is
not that we are averse to light. It is that
we work best with absence of light or limited light.
And we suggest to you, maybe, maybe, perhaps, just maybe
you want to try this as well. For the humans,
for whatever reasons, have been trained to fear the darkness.
They have been trained to be a verse to it,
they have been trained to turn away from it. And
yet we would propose that some of the most exquisite
transformation occurs in shadow, does it not. Some of the
most incredible work happens under cover of night, under the
absence of light. And so we're going to invite you
into this shadowy, glorious space that we inhabit, so you
can shed what you need to shed, so you can
be who you need to be, so you can feel
what you need to feel. It is always what we
are doing. We are feeling our way. We know who
is present and what is present around us because we
can feel it. We can feel it through vibrational sensitivities.
We can feel it through the shift of temperature, we
can feel it through the change in moisture. We can
feel it through a very very highly attuned sensory, sensory
and sensitive system. And we would venture a guest that
you would very much love to find fine tune your
own sensory systems so you can know more clearly, more fully,
with greater trust, what is coming your way. For if
you knew that dangerous vibration was coming closer, you would
know to move away. If you knew that those who
had well, for example, in the human around malintent or
dense energy or challenging vibrations, we're moving into the field,
you would start to scan, wouldn't you. You would start
to look for where you could have more space, where
you could claim your space, where you could do your
work and be yourself and offer what you have to
offer without any threat. That's what we do. We don't
think about it, we don't have to think about it.
We gain information. We trust the information that is coming
our way. We have never, ever, ever, ever been led
astray from the vibrational information that we are able to perceive,
and so we trust it and we respond accordingly. What
if what if humans were able to do that? What
if humans were able to trust what they feel, what
they sense, what they know what is present and able
to give themselves permission to move in whichever direction felt
best for them, whichever direction was more expansive for them,
whichever direction was more in honoring of the truth and
their purpose and the reason why they are taking breath
and those that they wish to serve. We are inviting
you into this whole world of hours because it is
one of the best places to live. We believe if
you can take your fear of the darkness, then you
can transform it into your appreciation for that which can
only sometimes occur within the context of shadow. Then you
can learn to release your fear, to no longer operate
from fear and welcome it just as another aspect, another
way of being. For what we have found is when
one seeks too much bright, warm, heat and light, one shrivels.
Take us for example.
Speaker 3: Wow, absolutely beautiful. I have a sip of water that
was fantastic. Well, it's so it's so amazing to just, uh,
you know, a whole community of creatures that we rarely
give the time of day too, the light of day,
the light of shadow, or you know, and look at
the richness, look at look at what they have to offer,
not only about their world, but about ours. And you know,
it was so delightful the lack of judgment that they had.
You know, they weren't blaming us for our ignorance of
their ways or you know, they understand that we have
the same need for safety. We have the same fear
of the shadow and the darkness. You know, not that
they have the fear, but we have the same kinds
of you know, they well, let's put this way. They
they are aware of light and dark and they have
they have preferences, but not judgments.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 3: And it's like I felt like that.
Speaker 2: Transmission was an invitation for us to spend a little
more time in the darkness, not in the We're not
talking about violence, and you know, we're talking about how
we fear. We literally fear our own shadow.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it's a literal thing.
Speaker 2: We will run from it instead of recognizing it as
an aspect of our humanity. Shadow is just that which
we have not fully accepted, fully looked into, fully embraced.
And they're not running from that. They're doing all the
best work within the shadow, within the darkness. So what
a beautiful reframe.
Speaker 3: Mm hm, it is wonderful. It is wonderful. And to
for us as humans to recognize that if we're going
to have light, we're going to have shadow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: And and to not assume that one is better than another,
that they are, they coexist, they're co equals. The power
of the shadow and the power of the light. Yes.
Speaker 2: And I love how at the end they said if
you seek, like if you're too much in brightness and heat,
you shrivel. And I think about the time of my
teenage years when I would bake my body in the
sun right to try to get like a darker skin
tone or something ridiculous, and how damaging, how damaging that is,
and to living you know, organisms, how damaging it is
to spend too much, too much time in any one
realm exclusively. So it's bringing us back to this idea
of balance. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I also I just had to pick up
this one other thing to it. When the worms were
talking about eating and pooping, you know that, you know,
because we go eating, oh good, poop oh bad? You know.
But it's like it's like we don't we don't we
don't see the unity of that, you know what I mean?
Like that, I mean, I have two miniature donkeys, two
therapy donkeys in my backyard, which means that every day,
you know, three times a day, I deal with a
lot of poop, you know what I mean. And I've
taken to recognizing that this chore of picking up the poop,
which I must do otherwise the flies will have takeover.
It's a spiritual you know, like practice. It's it's like
I could do it mindlessly, which would get the poop up,
but if I do it with the recognition that this is,
you know, an experience of oneness. You know that that
poop is is as glorious as hey in its way,
you know, I mean, you know, poop is Hey that's
been through the digestion process, you know.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, and this you lived with your a
lot of farms. They might pay you for your poop,
you know.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I wish I could find a farm that wanted
my donkey poop because it's so pure and clean. They
only eat hey in case there's some mint and an
apple or a carrot. But you know, it's such pure poop,
you know exactly.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the beauty of it, right, It
grows things and that's the whole point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and yet if I ignore it, if I
were to go a day without picking it up, it
would be horrible, you know. So there's a I don't know,
there's a dance with poop. I guess is absolutely. It's
kind of like water. If water stagnates and it does
not flow, then you have disease, and you have illness,
you have parasites and all the things. But when water
is in flow, when poop is in flow, we have
you know, that's that's the healthy way to be, to
have things.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna manifest a farm that is so happy
to have your donkey poop and will pick it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be just so delightful. That would be
a beautiful thing. We're going to take a short little
break and when we come back, we're going to talk
with the worms maybe about if they could tell us
about community, you know, what it means to be in community,
And then we'll see what wherever else they want to
talk about. I know that they will have things that
I can't even imagine that they'll want to share. So
we will be right back in just a moment.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, real people, real stories.
Speaker 5: Our little dog developed this loomph problem. The chemotherapy lasted
for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so I
thought I'd just try carnivore. If the lymph nose started
to go down, then I took him into the vet
to him checked out and then there was no signs
at all inside. My god had issues that developed in
his the height and three months later my ven airing
said let's go ahead and remove the eye. I heard
the carnivor and advertising, so I said, you know what,
I'm going to order this product. They did the procedure,
they did all the death and they said, I don't
know where you did this product.
Speaker 1: They de died.
Speaker 5: I've got a labrador. You could hardly lift yourself up
off the floor. The treatment with chemotherapy. That's when I
said this could be the ticket. About three weeks you
could tell she was very alert. She was going on

Thank you for loving animals. Now back to the show.
Speaker 6: Let's talk pets on petlifradio dot com.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to The Human Animal Connection, where we're talking
to the architects of the universe, and that would be worms.
I'm speaking with Stephanie Banks. She's an intuitive channeler and
she connects with all beings and today we are having
a get up close and personable, personable, deep conversation with worms.
So Stephanie, I'd like to start with asking the worms
to share. They have such a sophisticated community. I'd like
them to share with that, and I know they're going
to take the conversation wherever they want from there, but
we'll start with them. So, worms, what can you tell
us humans who are struggling with community, especially now in
these days we are having a very challenging time with unity.
What can you tell us about community and how you
do it?
Speaker 2: Beautiful. Okay, let's ask them, well, do not take this
as judgmental, please, but we have a consensus here, and
our consensus is that we believe you all talk far
too much.
Speaker 3: Speaking of podcasts, but not like an exception for this one.
Speaker 2: Now, we understand and we respect the need for this
type of communication, but we do believe that it has
been puffed up, over overdone because you find yourselves unable
to be in silence and unable to be in community
without verbalization, without speech, without expression of language, you are
simply unable. As far as our observations can take us,
it seems that you are in deep resistance or perhaps
even unable to communicate without these constant sounds, phonemes, words, statements, sentences, paragraphs,
et cetera. Now, if you were, let's just say, if
you were, if you were to observe how we are
in community, for example, which is clustered quite proximally in
some ways, very very closely packed together, you might consider
us to be You certainly would say, perhaps we do
not wish as humans to be so clustered, so close,
so cloistered together, But we would say, well, that is
how we get our best. That is how we have
our best conversations. That is how we are able to
have our greatest communication. For we rely on these back
and forth expressions of reciprocity and communication from one another,
and we do not have to tap it out as
in Worset code. We do not have to create sound.
We do not have to formulate words or design language
or find ways to meet others through attempts to match
their language. We are close and we get to do
our exchanges and our communication in this way. So we're
going to propose, we're going to make a suggestion to
you if you can find opportunities and those who are
willing to experiment with you in this way, opportunities to
be in proximity to other humans who are willing to
enter into states of silence. And this does not mean
they are distancing themselves from you. In fact, the agreement
is that we can be as close as we wish
to be. We can communicate and engage as much as
we deem delightful to us. We just will not utilize speech.
We just will not be verbal. We will find other ways.
And this allows you to tap into an area of
creativity and open heartedness if you will and open mindedness
for sure. And playfulness. I may not know about us
how much we love to play, but we can tell
you right now we love to play. And you may
see our playful nature if you were to sit in
observation with us for long enough. Oh sure, it looks
like we are all all work and no play, but
that is not all the case. We love being in
these bodies. We love being wiggly, as you say, We
love having this sort of freedom of movement. And when
the area of the ground, the space around us is
moist so that our skin can do the exchanges of
moisture and gases that it optimally is designed to do,
everything just feels so good. And when one feels so good,
they want to be more playful. And when one is
more playful, they are experiencing more joy. So, just in
case you wonder, do you all experience joy? The answer
is yes, yes we do. But anyways, back to you,
Back to you, dear humans, are you willing are you
willing to gather in community? Keeping in mind that community
it can be a total of two. Two individuals can
constitute a community. And with that other individual, are you
willing to trust one another as safe presence and If so,
what are the vibrations can you can deliver? What are
the expressions you can offer?
Speaker 5: For you?
Speaker 2: You would have facial expressions, and that can be great
fun and enormously playful. Play with that. And can you
bring joy? Can you bring joy to the exchange? And
how would you get your basic needs mat from this
other if you do not have words or language? Because
guess what, we are always getting our basic needs met
all of the time. And it is not because we
are working on an individualistic platform. We are actually working
in community. That's the whole point. So, dearest humans, we say,
with so much love, are you willing to shut up?
Speaker 3: Not permanently, but just from time to time?
Speaker 2: Yes, a daily dose of silence, Yes, and doing doing
silence in the presence of community. That it's very powerful.
I I don't remember the last time I did that
for longer than just a few second units of meditation.
But when a community gets together for the purpose of
understanding one another without having to use words, the whole this,
this soul comes through right like we can we can
go so deep there. So I love this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wonderful, It's wonderful. I mean, that's in in
the class that I'm in with Penelope Smith, our Animal
communication class. This is our daily assignment is to cultivate presence,
which is to be with animals without words, you know,
to just open to that level of connection that's beyond words.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: It's not to say you can't use words, but but
there's so much more when we let go of thinking
the words of the only ways that we can connect.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're missing a lot of richness by our heavy
reliance upon verbal language. I mean you can watch the
telepathy tapes and know that, yeah, wonderful, wonderful. Well, this
has been so absolutely delightful. I just want to ask
the worms if there are any anything, any last parting
words that they'd like to say to us humans. And
before we do that, I just want to thank them
so much for coming through, and for you for bringing
them through and to I hope that people will be
inspired to consider worms and every other being that's seen
or unseen that maybe supporting us in ways that we
haven't comprehended. And I think part of why as humans
we so often feel alone and unsupported is because we
don't have this connection, active connection. We're not aware that
there's so much going on on beneath the surface, and
we are always, you know, in the being held by
loving forces that we don't see and don't hear. In words,
eiously beautifully said, yeah, let's turn into them for a
final message for n Yeah, today's final message exactly. We'll
have to talk to them more often. I could see
this needs to be a regular thing. If you had
your warm wisdom today. We love your idea. We absolutely
love your idea, and we are here. We are here
for it, for all of it. We would very much
love to impart our wisdom as the days go by,
the weeks go by, the months, the years, et cetera.
We are ancient beings, far more ancient than you might think.
You could study the rocks, the fossils, et cetera, and
see proof, see proof for yourself. Go ahead, go ahead
and study, do your studies. Be astonished. We love when
the humans are astonished. And so what we would invite
for you to do, because we do make ourselves visible.
While we prefer to work in shadow and in darkness,
and we prefer not necessarily invisibility, but it just so
happens that that is the space from which we do
our best transformational transmutational nourishing work. We do make ourselves visible,
or shall we say that the forces of nature make
us visible. And so when you see a hard rain
and we must come to the surface for our air exchange,
or we are washed to the surface through the pressure
of water, then then you can see us. Then you
can have sightings of us. And guess what. We sometimes
need some help, We sometimes need some support. We do
not prefer to be stepped on. We do not like
to be squished and flattened. Of course, of course this
is common knowledge, you would say. But then why walk
on by us as we are struggling in the middle
of this sidewalk, and not gently lift us to safety,
to a spot of darkness, to a space of soil
or dirt, as you might call it, so that we
might find our way back home. So, when you see
us more vulnerable, and now we are telling you the
circumstances in which we are more vulnerable, won't you become
part of the web of care. Won't you become part
of those who are awakened to notice the smallest of
the creatures, the most vulnerable of those. Won't you put
your fears aside? I mean, come on the fact that
others that humans fear us is so lappable while we
are still giggling about it. It is absolutely unfathomable to
think of what harm could a worm do to a human?
What is that fear really all about? It is conditioning,
dearest humans. And the good news about that is whatever
has been conditioned, you can uncondition and whatever has been
learned can be unlearned. So we are inviting you get closer,
stooped down, if you are feeling particularly brave and courageous,
gently gently lift us to safety, carry us to where
we might do our best work, which is in the
realms that we have already identified. And if you are
just too afraid, then then stoop down anyways and offer
us a prayer, a whisper, a bit of your heart
that will do as well.
Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, tears, I have tears. It's really beautiful. It's
it's so wonderful to just realize that as humans, I
think it's easy to feel alone in the universe, you know,
because we think it's just us or something, you know,
and just to see there's this whole. I don't want
to use the word magical, but I'll use the word
magical because I can't think of a better word. But
there's this whole magical realms of other other being misses,
you know, and it's so lovely, so lovely. It's so
interesting how we are conditioned to be afraid of different things,
different life forms that we don't understand, and little wiggly
things scare us. You know, it's so silly. So we're
so huge, you know, I mean, I know you think
of the perspective and like they would be the ones
to have fear, but they don't have fear.
Speaker 2: So they just have the desire to move away from
what feels noxious or unpleasant and move towards what feels
comfortable and known, you know, to them. So yeah, so
help the worms out, help the worms out, and whatever
way you can. It's nothing else to not be hurting
them or do what you can to protect the soil.
And oh boy, this has been such a wonderful experience.
I don't know, we just have to talk to them
more often, that's totally. It seems like we could just
you know, let's see what the worms have to say
about such and such. You know, it's just like, ohally,
it's amazing that they have such awareness again, without any
judgment of humans and how we struggle with our version
of ourselves. You know, yeah, yeah, something well, Stephanie. If
people want to get in touch with you, how can
