Eternal Reflections: Insights Into the Afterlife

/

Rachel from Greencastle, PA, asked:

Hi Julie,

Can you tell me about my past lives? I need some type of proof to believe in reincarnation.

The idea of death terrifies me.

Can you help please?

Thanks,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Past lives are a fascinating topic and one I enjoy discussing.

Over several years, I’ve had the opportunity to do what I call a past life scan with thousands of clients where I’ve seen (in my mind’s eye) one of their most significant past lives.

During the session, I “get” (receive as a thought) information such as names, place, year, and details, which can later be validated and corroborated with historic documents online.

Then, we figure out how this past life information correlates with what’s happening in the person’s current life. It’s always helpful.

As for proof of past lives, many books are available on this topic. Perhaps my favorites are written by Brian Weiss, MD. Dr. Weiss is a highly respected psychiatrist who learned about past lives while hypnotizing a patient. His research is worth exploring.

Another suggestion is to delve into Near Death Experiences also known as NDEs. Raymond Moody, MD is one of the foremost experts in this field. I recently interviewed Dr. Moody on my show when he shared a lot of enlightening bits of information about NDEs and his research.

Lastly, with regard to being afraid of death and proof of an afterlife, please know, we’re all surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets as we’re dying and then when we get to Heaven. By the way, everyone goes to Heaven.

My book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next details a process I call the Twelve Phases of Transition® and includes validating stories of families with whom I worked.

In addition, Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, discusses his university-based research validating what I “see” from a spiritual perspective in his book Death Is But A Dream. Dr. Kerr and I had an enlightening discussion when was a guest on my show.

All these resources can help satisfy your curiosity about life after death.

Please consider scheduling an appointment with me and we’ll access YOUR past lives.

Guardian Angels and the Journey to the Afterlife

Bev from Grandville, MI, asked:

Hi Julie,

I recently discovered you through a friend and I’m intrigued.

I was raised in a denomination that didn’t allow these kinds of spiritual beliefs but working as a hospice nurse has changed my mind.

I’ve been present for uncountable deaths. Some are easy and peaceful while others are long and extremely hard.

I’ve seen patients look at things, talk to things, rock babies, pet animals. I’ve told so many families I’m envious of their gift. I’d love to see it with them. Is it something that can be learned? I also want to see/meet my angel! So many questions.

I am 72 and plan to continue as a nurse as long as I can. I truly love hospice.

Thanks for any insight and direction you may have.

Blessings,

Bev

Hi Bev,

Thanks for your note and thanks for your service as a hospice nurse.

University-based research shows close to 90% of people see the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets at the end of their lives but then you and all who work in critical care, hospice, and as funeral directors already know that.

It’s what I discuss in my Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next book.

We’re all born with intuitive abilities. Our heads act like a big satellite dish and can receive and send frequencies and every spirit has its own frequency. So, in order to meet and see your Guardian Angel, simply ask what they call themselves. You can either do that aloud or in your mind.

Their answer will instantly come in like a thought in your head as fast as you can snap your fingers. If you think about the answer for more than a second, that’ll be your brain talking to you.

Then, once you have a name, just think of them and say something. Their answer will always instantly come into your head.

Initially, it may feel like you’re imaging your angel’s response and the more you talk with them, the more validation you’ll get and that’ll help you trust the information you receive.

You may also want to take my Angels and Enlightenment Training. It’s a self-paced, online course with live practice groups. It’ll help you quickly become proficient with the intuitive abilities we all possess.

Guided by Mom’s Spirit

Jael from Zurich, Switzerland, asked:

Dear Julie,

I need help deciding if I should put my twin daughters in private school next year or if I should keep them in the public school system.

Currently, their grades are not good and according to the public system they will go to a low-level middle school and from there to an apprenticeship school. This will prevent them from doing a full graduation from High school.

The American private school near us provides more creative opportunities and more subjects and levels from which to choose. Of course, no one guarantees them a graduation there either.

The debate is a financial one since it costs a fortune to send my daughters to private school. This would mean we would put all of our savings into paying for High school and forget about family vacations outside our home. I don’t know what we should do.

Also, I must mention, we have an older son who attends the American High school and he is doing amazingly well.

One daughter has strong learning disabilities such as dyscalculia and dyslexia and the other has ADHD.

Any advice from my deceased mother and you would help.

Thank you!

Jael

Hi Jael,

I understand your quandary and desire to do the best for your all of your children.

To get some guidance for you, I asked Spirit, including your deceased mother, if it was in your daughters’ best interest to enroll them in the American private school their brother attends and the answer was an immediate and resounding YES!

I also “got” (information from Spirit downloaded into my head) the private American school had a plethora of courses from which your girls could benefit.

Lastly, I was told to let you know the most important thing you can do with your girls is to find something they’re interested in and give them every opportunity to explore that topic regardless of the schooling or degree involved.

Now keep in mind, I’m sharing the information I received at this moment in time. Future events are fluid and a multitude of variables can arise that could affect an outcome.

Hope this spiritual advice helps you with your decision.

Astral Travel Adventure

1 Comment / /

Kelly from St. Louis, MO, asked:

Hi Julie,

Can someone experience one of the stages of death without dying?

For a few years now, I’ve been experiencing astral projections and sporadically seeing blue and white orbs at night.

A psychic once told me she thought I was healthy. She also said my spiritual family was trying to wake me up and would have a message for me on the next full moon.

That night I astral projected out of my body and started to float towards a white vortex of light. Scared I was going to die, I did everything I could to wake myself up. When I finally awoke, my ceiling was covered in blue orbs.

Although I’m young and healthy, after learning about your Twelve Phases of Transition®, I got worried.

Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Terrific question, the answer to which is absolutely!

Many people go through the Twelve Phases of Transition® (described in my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next) without dying.

It has been my experience that a person can move around in the Phases and even come completely out and live.

My brother Jay’s friend did exactly that. He was in Phase 11 and I didn’t expect him to last even another hour. And yet, fifteen years later, he’s still very much alive and well.

What you’ve been experiencing at night isn’t the Twelve Phases of Transition®, rather, it’s simply good, old-fashioned, astral travel.

Astral travel also known as astral projection is described in many ancient cultures as the soul or “astral body” intentionally leaving the physical body while asleep or meditating and traveling to wherever it likes.

Many experts believe we all astral travel each night when we sleep. It’s how we meet up with deceased loved ones and pets along with other spirits. Research seems to validate this concept.

A 2014 study conducted at the University of Ottawa, School of Psychology, found in an fMRI of a person voluntarily producing an out-of-body experience, that, “There were significantly activated regions of the brain while the participant was having extra-corporeal experiences.”

The blue orbs you’re seeing are the spirits with whom you’ve traveled on your nighttime adventure.

In summary, you are not dying, you’re just astral traveling.

Transcending Mortality

Louise from Bothell, WA, asked:

Hi Julie,

I listened to a recent interview with you and Alex Ferrari and then bought your book, which I’m 50-ish pages into.

You say the dying person’s mother, father, angels, spirit guides of family members, etc., show up and surround the person just prior to their transition. 

I’m curious why I’ve never heard this reported from the countless near-death (NDE) experiencers that I’ve heard over many years – on tv shows, in books, interviews, at IANDS meetings, etc.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Louise

Hi Louise,

What a great question!

It’s been my experience that we’re all surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets as we’re at the end of our lives and that’s what I describe in my Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next book.

I call this series of events the Twelve Phases of Transition® and it occurs with everyone regardless of whether a person’s death is instant like in the case of a homicide or suicide or whether it’s prolonged over days, weeks, months or years. The Twelve Phases add a glorious component to what can often be described as a heart wrenching experience, losing a loved one.

In his book Death Is But A Dream, Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, discusses his university-based research in which 90% of patients saw deceased loved ones and pets either in dreams or visions as they were dying. And, critical care medical providers, hospice personnel, as well as funeral directors, family members, and others report the same.

So, you ask, why don’t people experiencing an NDE see the same configuration as the dying? After all, they too are experiencing a form of death temporary as it is.

Perhaps the Twelve Phases of Transition® are reserved for those who are actually dying.

Perhaps it’s just an EXPERIENCE of an aspect of death the NDE shows the person.

Perhaps the NDE is simply intended to broaden a person’s understanding of the afterlife and spirit world and enhance the rest of their human lives.

I believe my explanations are certainly feasible. Guess we’ll know for sure once we get to Heaven.

Nighttime Spirit Visitors

Mary Ann from Steamboat Springs, CO, asked:

Dear Julie,

My very good friend is experiencing nightly paranormal visits in his dreams and sometimes wake states. 

He is at a loss where to turn. The situation is disturbing his sleep and is exhausting.

He has had a recent normal brain scan.

What is the best way to connect with you to see if you can be of help to this very kind man.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Mary Ann

Hi Mary Ann,

Sorry to hear your friend is missing out on sleep due to paranormal activity.

Spirits often visit us when we’re sleeping because it’s the easiest way to communicate with us.

It’s been my experience that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God in spirit and our natural vibrational state is extremely high.

When our spirits are attached to a body, it slows our vibration due to the body’s mass, and the various states of stress, fear, and negative emotions we experience throughout the day.

As we sleep, our bodies return to their pre-set, high vibrations, the vibration of spirit.

So, when our vibration is set to the spirit frequency, it opens a communication channel similar to a radio/tv station or two-way radio.

Since spirits are always a high vibration, they don’t communicate on the “I feel crappy” channels when we’re awake because the vibration is too low.

Furthermore, in his book Waking Up to the Dark, author Clark Strand discusses how, prior to the invention of electricity and the light bulb, all humans woke up during the night to communicate with spirit.

Now, having said all that, here are some suggestions for your friend:

– Before falling asleep, have him ask spirits to communicate with him after he’s rested, just before he wakes up.

– Have him learn how to control communicating with spirits while he’s awake. That way, his spirit posse can get information to him without disturbing his sleep.

– Ask him to consider taking one of my classes. In them, he’ll learn the spirit communication skills that will permit him to sleep like a baby!

How to Reconnect with Deceased Loved Ones

4 Comments / /

Lora from Coos Bay, OR, asked;

Hi Julie,

I lost my soul mom in 2019 and my soulmate in 2022.

I’ve had spiritual gifts off and on throughout my life and feel in order to heal, I need to find a way to reconnect with spirit and every other member of my soul tribe. I feel lost without them.

Any suggestions from them and you would be most helpful and welcomed.

Thanks.

Lora

Hi Lora,

That’s a lot of loss in a short period of time. My condolences.

The first step in spirit communication is to understand our heads are like big satellite dishes that transmit and receive frequencies and every spirit has a frequency they keep throughout all of their lifetimes.

So, the best way to connect with your deceased loved ones is to just think of them. That’ll tune your satellite dish head to their frequency. It’s like choosing a radio channel.

Then, say something either silently or aloud to them. Your loved one will answer you within a second or before and it’ll seem like a thought in your head. How you’ll know it’s from them is to pay attention to that first thought.

Spirits communicate in words, phrases, images, and symbols, so be open to your interpretation of the thoughts you receive.

For example, if you ask your mom for a sign she’s near, the answer you may receive is a yellow rose.

Be open to how and where you see a yellow rose. It could be in a garden, magazine, grocery store flower department, on a piece of jewelry someone wears, etc.

The applicability of a message from a loved one will always be predicated on how we ask a question so be specific.

To really sharpen your telepathic skills, enroll in one of my trainings. They both come with practice groups that let you continue to develop and enhance your abilities over time.

My Angels and Enlightenment Training is self-paced and online and my Angelic Attendant Training (AAT) is in-person over a weekend. The next AAT is in Atlanta, GA, November 3-5th. Come join us!

Soul Cat Goodbye

2 Comments / /

Carrie from Nuevo, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

Just last week I had the heartbreaking task of saying goodbye to my best friend, my little soul cat, Willow.

Her passing was unexpected and the level of pain and grief has been immense. I have struggled with the guilt and hope my decision was the best for her.

Willow was more than “just a cat.” She was so much of my world and not having her here with me has been excruciating.

I asked my mom’s spirit to please keep Willow safe and to love her as I do. My mom died 15 years ago.

Please tell me if my decision was appropriate and if Willow is happy, safe, loved, and with my mom.

Thank you for your consideration.

Carrie

Hi Carrie,

I am so sorry to hear of Willow’s passing and how difficult this grieving period is for you.

Your beloved cat is absolutely with your mom and both of their spirits are around you.

Your mother showed me an image of her holding Willow. Your cat’s head was snuggled into your mom’s left shoulder.

Then, your mom showed me a scene of Willow chasing and playing with a bunch of butterflies in a beautiful meadow. The butterflies were a variety of colors and sizes.

Lastly, Willow and your mom want you to know you made the perfect decision to let her go.

You may enjoy my book Angel Messages For Cats.

Hope this information comforts you!

Solving Chronic Indecisiveness

Jen from Portland, OR, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’m a mom of four whose kids are getting older and I’m beginning to dream about my life’s next chapter. 

What should be such an exciting time is privately painful for me. I am plagued with indecision and insecurities which keep me feeling very stuck.

I am working on following what “feels” good but the pressure I put on myself is almost unbearable. This indecisiveness has been a lifetime pattern and it feels to me like a subconscious, energetic, or spiritual block.

Could you please scan my body to discover what might be the culprit? I am 53 years-old and I really want to elevate my vibration to march confidently on my path of purpose! 

Thank you in advance — I appreciate all that you do!

Jen

Hi Jen,

As you’ve realized, new chapters in life can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time.

The good news, however, is that we can train our brains to minimize fear and maximize the enjoyment aspect of any situation.

Thoughts don’t have meaning unless we give it to them. And, unlike what most of are led to believe, thoughts don’t originate in our heads, rather, they are attracted to us based on what we’re thinking at any given moment.

Now, like everything else in our reality, thoughts have a vibration. They either feel good or bad. If they feel good, they’re most likely true. If, however, a thought feels bad, it’s always based in fear.

Anger, grief, jealousy, boredom, etc., are all examples of fear. The key is to figure out if the fear is real (called a rational fear) or imagined (irrational fear).

So, when you have a thought come into your head like I can’t do that job because (fill in the blanks), just ask yourself, “Is this going to kill me in the next two-minutes?”

If the answer is yes, change the conditions before you get hurt or killed. If the answer is no, then you’re suffering over an irrational fear that’s false. I call this technique the Two-Minute Rule™ and it works great.

When we identify fake fears, we can avoid losing clarity and prevent our bodies from going into fight or flight mode. This alone will enhance your decision-making abilities.

By the way, you don’t have any blocks or physical issues, only irrational fear that’s causing your indecisiveness.

Give the Two-Minute Rule™ a try. It’s free and convenient because it works anywhere your brain is, and your brain is usually with you wherever you go!
