Seeing Faces

/

Kathryn from Battery Point, Tasmania, Australia, asked:

Hi Julie,

For the past few months, I have been seeing faces when I close my eyes and try to sleep. It’s quite surreal and beautiful.

Some of the faces are black and white and some are in colour. They’re in both 2 and 3D. The faces are in succession and there isn’t time to really examine them.

Do you know what this is? I have done an internet search and learned it may have to do with my third eye or an awakening of parts of myself.

Any insight and what to do next would be most appreciated.

Regards and hugs (as you say),

Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,

Welcome to the club!

What you’re describing sounds like intuitive or psychic visions, sometimes called clairvoyance and I believe it is a step in the process of developing your intuitive skills.

Everyone is born with psychic/intuitive abilities. We all naturally enhance our “knowingness” or “gut reactions” as we age and many of us, like me, choose to consciously enhance our intuitive abilities with study and lots of practice.

When scanning a person, animal, or place, I normally have my eyes closed. It helps me be less distracted from what I’m “seeing” in my mind’s eye. The same may pertain to what happens with you when you close your eyes.

Regarding the faces you’re seeing, I did an instant replay (often used with a sporting event on television) of what you’re experiencing. I saw (in my mind’s eye) both faces rapidly moving across a screen (like a slide show) and faces moving around in a circular motion like a kaleidoscope.

Although these faces aren’t readily recognizable, I believe they relate to people you knew in countless past lives and many of them are soulmates.

And, there’s a good chance these soulmates are assuming different roles in your current life.

There are many online and in-person classes available (including my Angelic Attendant Training) that will help you continue to develop and enhance your intuitive abilities.

Hope my explanation helps clarify things for you.

Wait For Love

/

Bertha in Central Islip, NY, asked:

Hi Julie,

I love your podcast so much and although this question is silly, I just need some relief.

My boyfriend and I broke up this week and I’m heartbroken.

It wasn’t because of something bad, just that his job got very demanding. This caused him to be tired and stressed. He is also going to take classes and temporarily move away (from Long Island to Brooklyn). Since he can’t make us a priority, he feels it’s best for us to go our own ways.

He mentioned we can find each other in a few years when his job is more stable and he moves back to Long Island.

My question is, should I even entertain the idea of us getting back together?

Thank you for your input and for your show!

Bertha

Hi Bertha,

So sorry to hear you’re hurting after the breakup with your boyfriend. That’s something most of us go through multiple times in our lives and it’s never easy.

As for whether you should wait around for him with the hope his job becomes less demanding, he has more free time, and he moves back to Long Island, here are a few thoughts for you to ponder.

The old saying, “If you love something set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be,” applies in your situation.

Psychology Today says, “What is behind this old saying? Some interpret it as a description of fate. Only fate can determine whether a relationship was meant to be. So, if you let someone go, they will come back if that’s your destiny.

For those of us who don’t believe in determinism, this explanation does not ring true. A better interpretation is that you cannot force someone to love you. You have to give them the freedom to choose.” I tend to agree with the shrinks.

As you may know, I’m a volunteer sorority advisor at the University of Alabama and have had countless chats with girls in your position who’ve recently broken up with their boyfriend.

My advice to them is the same I’m giving you. Just remember one four-letter word … NEXT! Who’s next?

Get on with your life and if you and your former boyfriend’s paths cross, see how you feel then. It’s common for people’s lives to unfold in ways that make what was once a match, not make sense anymore.

Lastly, when I asked Spirit’s guidance about whether it was in your best interest to wait for your former boyfriend, the answer i “got” was NO!

Angels Around Mom

/

Ryann from Richmond, VA, asked:

Hello Julie,

My mother is suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s and has been in hospice for almost 2.5 years. She lost her eyesight, almost all her memory, and barely speaks anymore. She is young (69), but looks 20 years older than her biological age.

My mom hasn’t had any quality of life since she went into hospice. She lives in a dark, dingy, nursing home where she is being kept alive without any stimulation.

Our situation has been very painful because of how long she and my family have been in this holding pattern.

I’m wondering if you could scan her and tell me what phase of transition she is in, whether she is ready to pass, and if there is anything we can do to help her let go.

Her name is Debbie and she lives in Deerfield, IL.

I am so grateful for any insight you can share.

Sincerely,

Ryann

Hi Ryann,

Love your name!

So sorry to hear about your mom.

To get some information for you, I first connected with you in Virginia and then from you to your mother in Illinois.

At the time of this writing, she is in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition®. This means she is surrounded by angels, and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets.

Everyone goes through the Twelve Phases of Transition® regardless if they pass instantly like in the case of a homicide or suicide, or over a long period of time including days, weeks, months, or like your mom, years.

I asked your mom my standard three questions …

Are you ready to go? She said, “YES”.

Are you in pain? She said, “NO”.

What do you need? She said, “To see the sunlight”.

It’s easy to find out where your mom is in her leaving process. Just ask, “What Phase of Transition is my mom in?” You’ll get an answer in your head within a second. When the thought is immediate, you’ll know it’s from Spirit. Then, just refer to the chart on my website and you’ll have an illustration to guide you.

When your mom seems to be advancing through the Phases quickly, you’ll know to gather any family or friends that want to see her before she passes.

Always keep in mind, as we’re dying, your mom (and all of us), are surrounded by angels, and deceased loved ones. Knowing this adds a glorious component to what is usually a heart-wrenching situation.

Sending lots of hugs your way!

X-ray Vision

/

Jasmine from Wilkes-Barre, PA, asked:

Hi Julie,

I recently listened to one of your podcasts and I’m very intrigued with how you sound as if you have X-ray vision to spot issues going on within someone’s body. That is something I would love to learn to do.

For the past ten years, I’ve studied energy healing on my own and I can feel blocks or where problems and pain exist. I can also see the energy in colors with my mind’s eye. 

Since I can do distance healing, I’ve been able to help a few people from across the globe.

Are there any websites, books, or trainings you can suggest to help me to reach a level like yours?

Thanks,

Jasmine

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for listening to my show and for your question.

Two books that launched me on my medical intuitive journey more than thirty years ago are Anatomy of the Spirit by Carolyn Myss, PhD and Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan, PhD.

More about my personal “woo-woo” journey can be found in a blog post I did a few months ago and in my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next.

My best advice is to sign up for my Angelic Attendant Training. For a few hours over four Saturdays, you’ll learn to do everything I do and join a global community of graduates all practicing and utilizing their skills to communicate with Spirit, facilitate healing, access past lives, and much more.

In addition, I’ll soon have a self-paced online class that will teach you how to communicate with Spirit, validate the information you receive and tell how close to death someone is. More details to follow.

So, in the meantime, read, listen, and watch as much energetic healing information as possible and pay attention to what resonates with you. You’ll be led to your next step.

Halloween Haunted House

/

Bryan from Imperial, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

I am staying in a room in the house of a friend and her fiancé. Upon my first day here, it felt like the energy wasn’t right in certain areas. I often hear thumps, cracks, and noises, and feel like I’m being watched.

During the day when I’m here alone, the fridge will start to hum, whirr, and buzz when I walk into the kitchen and I hear strange noises in the walls. The dogs react as well with growls and barking. I’ve given up trying to cleanse, protect, and fight off energies in the house.

Since I was a kid, I’ve been able to pick-up on spirit energies and voices. This ability makes me come across as mentally unstable to friends and family who don’t experience the same. I feel isolated at times because nobody believes what I tell them about the spirit phenomena I feel and hear.

What can I do to at least have the spirits stop bothering me? And, what can be done about how I pick up on things? Ignorance seems to be bliss and I’d rather not have this “gift”.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Since Halloween is just a few days away, I appreciate the timeliness of your question.

Most cultures have a day that venerates the dead so how did we go from honoring our deceased loved ones to being afraid of them?

History.com says, Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31st. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) 2,000 years ago marking the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred and that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Emphasis on the word celebration.

Then, in the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as a time to honor every saint. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats. Again, it was a celebration of the deceased.

Congratulations on recognizing your “gift” of being able to perceive spirits. It’s an ability every person and animal possess.

We all experience what can be called a psychic moment when we think we see a spirit out of the corner of our eye or feel a strange sensation when entering a room. In the most recent few hundred years, people have been taught to be afraid of spirits by religions, cultures, and the publishing and entertainment industries. This is why people are uncomfortable discussing spiritual occurrences, because like you, they don’t want to look crazy.

Keep in mind, all spirits are pure love and “evil” spirits don’t exist so there’s nothing to fear. If you don’t want to be bothered by spirits, just ask them to leave and they will. But then, you may want to consider embracing the spirits around you and ask if they have a message for you or a message they’d like for you to convey to someone.

In the movie The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, spirits contact a boy (Osment) to deliver messages to their loved ones. After initially resisting the spirits’ communications, the boy realizes by sharing the information, he helps people heal. I believe you’re being given the opportunity to do the same.

Trust The Chaos

/

Joanne from Altoona, PA, asked:

Dear Julie,

I really enjoy reading the questions people submit to you and your answers back to them. I learn a lot from reading the Q&As and appreciate your making them available.

For years I’ve worked with a woman named Lori who calls herself a light worker.

Lori says she has been instructed to shut down all her channels and stop all reiki treatments due to an overabundance of negative energy on Earth. She says that we are at a very dark time in history and feels she must protect herself from negative energy by closing off all her portals. She also told me to stop giving myself reiki treatments. When she talks about all this negativity, I sometimes come away feeling letdown after treatments.

I would love your input on this. Do your spirits tell you that this is a time that we need to be more diligent about dark forces? You seem to be moving right along with everything.

I want to keep seeing Lori, but I would like to come away from our sessions feeling more lighthearted. I liked giving myself the reiki treatments, but because of her warning I have stopped. Is it really unsafe for me?

Thanks,

Joanne

Hi Joanne,

I appreciate your comments about enjoying and learning from my blog of Q&A each week.

Regarding negative energy and dark forces on earth, I’m not seeing or experiencing any of that. In fact, as you may already know, I don’t believe in evil spirits. All spirits are pure love.

What the world is experiencing is a continual creative process. When we know what we don’t want, it helps us create what we do want. My mentor Susan Austin Crumpton always says, “Trust the chaos”!

Having said all that, the world is constantly going through some form of restructuring as it creates new ideas, inventions, processes, etc. It’s just now we hear about it more. The 24/7 news cycle spreads the most dramatic information instantly around the globe and that makes it seem like the world is in turmoil.

If we’d had today’s communication systems in place during the Ice Age, Crusades or Black Plague, we would’ve most likely felt the same discontent and fear.

So, do reiki on yourself and others and find an energy healer (like me) who makes you feel good. When we’re in alignment with our spirit, we feel good. Anything else is based in fear and unless it’s going to physically hurt or kill us within the next couple of minutes (Two-Minute Rule™), it’s an irrational and therefore false fear.

Past and Future Lifetimes

/

Aslan from Toronto, Canada, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’ve recently discovered your material and I’m enjoying your insights.

I would like to ask about my interest in Scandinavia. It’s one I’ve developed over the past several years.

I feel as if I’ve had lifetimes in this area and many of these actually take place in what we consider the future (even though it is all happening simultaneously).

I get the impression that one of these lives begins in Bergen, Norway, sometime around 2030, overlaps with my current life, and the mother’s name is Jenny.

I’m also feeling that I will have a future life in Solrod, Denmark. Are these impressions correct?

Thank you.

Aslan

Hi Aslan,

Thanks for such an interesting question. I find exploring past and future lifetimes to be both fascinating and fun.

With regard to the passion you feel about Scandinavia, I “get” (meaning I received information from Spirit) you indeed have had several past lives in that part of the world. In fact, I “get” 47 of your past 100 lifetimes were lived in Scandinavian countries.

Now, keep in mind, time doesn’t exist in the spirit world. It’s a human creation. It’s feasible, a hundred human lifetimes may not even be a blip on the radar in the spirit world.

As for your seeing future lifetimes, when I asked Spirit if you were actually “seeing” (with your mind’s eye) a future lifetime, I “got” a NO. But then, when I asked if our spirit can live in multiple lifetimes at the same time, I “got” a YES.

Those answers prompted me to ask Spirit for clarification and “got” your future lives are in the process of being created based on your interests in this lifetime. In essence, you got a preview of a life you may create.

It’s kind of like a preview of a movie that will be released at a future date. When movie trailers are shown, the actual movie is oftentimes still being made and can be in various stages of filming, editing, etc. It’s still being formulated.

Trying to wrap our heads around this past and future life subject can be daunting. We try to make sense of something for which we don’t have a human frame of reference.

Having said all that, it’s been my experience, things that have happened are set, things that are happening right now are set, and future events are fluid. Unlimited variables (our and others’ free will, natural disasters, pandemics, etc.) can arise and affect a future outcome.

As we approach the holidays, look for the Nisse (Norwegian), Tomte (Swedish), and Tonttu (Finnish). They’re known as mythological “elves” from Nordic folklore typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. I feel certain you’ll be surrounded by them!

Advice From Spirit

/

Stefanie from Slidell, LA, asked:

Hi Julie,

I wanted to seek advice from my friend who recently transitioned from Covid-19 in February 2021. She’s the only one that knows me like the back of my hand.

She knows my relationship with the father of my children and I need to know her advice on moving on without him as a spouse and just as a father to my children.  

Any advice she gives will be amazing.

I miss her so much and I just know she can hear me.

Thanks for your help with this.

Stefanie

Hi Stefanie,

My condolences on the loss of your friend.

To get some information for you, I first connected with you and from you to your late friend.

She said, “You’re a rock!” She also said, “You’ve been through so much this year and it’s only September. Stay strong!”

Your friend wanted you to know she’s always around you and is supporting you from Heaven.

Now, with regards to your relationship, she suggests you move on with your life and find happiness with someone who loves you and your kids.

In addition, I asked God, the universe, your spirit guides, angels, and deceased loved ones the same question. They unanimously concurred.

Remember, you can chat with your late friend’s spirit and any other spirit any time you wish.

Just say something to them either in your head or aloud and your next thought will be their answer. It’ll feel like a thought in your head.

How you’ll know it’s them is, it’ll be the first thought you have and it’ll arrive within a second (sometimes even before your thought is finished).

If you think about the answer for more than a second, that’ll be your brain talking to you.

Hope this information helps.

Developing Intuitive Abilities

/

Jay from Williamsville, NY, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’m curious to know what event (if any) initiated your ability to reach into the realms to help other living souls.

Can you share the what, when, where, and how that resulted in your healing and reading abilities?

Thank you.

Jay

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your curiosity and kind comments.

Although I jokingly tell people I’m not one of those psychics who’s had dead people chasing her since childhood, it’s the truth. I learned how to be a medical intuitive and psychic medium.

My “woo-woo” journey began about 30 years ago when a friend gave me Anatomy of the Spirit by Carolyn Myss who calls herself a medical intuitive, a description I hadn’t ever heard before.

This piqued my curiosity since I was in the hospital supply industry developing, manufacturing and selling medical devices that helped people heal. So, I went to a bookstore to see what else I could find on the topic. (The internet wasn’t yet an option.)  

That’s where I found Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan, PhD. In her book, Dr. Brennan, a former NASA physicist, parlayed complicated quantum physics principles used in energy healing into understandable language a non-scientific person like me could understand.

These two books led me to enroll in a six-year program where I learned about energy fields, energy healing and other related topics at the School of Healing Arts in Nashville, TN.

Fast forward and I now teach people from all walks of life and many countries how to do every “woo-woo” thing I do in my Angelic Attendant Training. This includes medical intuitive scans, energy healing, pet communication and healing, conversing with spirits (both alive and deceased), past life scans, and being able to tell if a person is close to death. We’re all born with intuitive abilities, it’s just a matter of developing and enhancing them.

More details about my journey are in my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next.
