Autism, Ancestors, and Angels

Mary from Boston, MA, asked:

Hi Julie,

My 35-year-old daughter has autism as well as a profound intellectual disability and seems to also be able to sense spirits.

In the past few years, she has often spoken about my grandmother who died when she was 15 and has found comfort in having her picture nearby. In the past year, she has repeatedly asked to look at a picture of my former father-in-law who she did not know very well but remembers visiting as a young child. In addition, she seems reassured by seeing my father’s picture. He died about 12 years ago.

The week after my dad passed, I was with her and my friend at my home. As my daughter walked down the hallway on the way to her bedroom, she quickly stopped and gazed at a brick wall with a look of wonder and said to my friend and me, “Look, it’s Papa”! The wonder on her face was quite stunning – and she is not one to emote.  

My spirit and intuition tell me my daughter has a large contingent of ancestors and angels with her at all times. What do you think?

With gratitude to you for sharing your gift with the world.

Mary

Hi Mary,

Your daughter’s journey is a testament to the profound connections that transcend language and understanding. It seems she shares a remarkable connection with the spiritual realm, a skill we all possess, and her interactions with ancestral figures demonstrate a depth of perception beyond words.

The way she seeks comfort from the presence of loved ones, both past and present, is a beautiful reminder of the spiritual bonds that guide her path and the spiritual support encircling her at all times.

Thank you for sharing this touching glimpse into your daughter’s world. It validates the universal truth that we are never truly alone on our journey, rather, all of us are surrounded by God, angels, spirit guides, our deceased loved ones and pets, and many others.

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.

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!

Guardian Angel Visit

Elizabeth from St. Helens, England, asked:

Hi Julie,

After being admitted to hospital in August 2022, my partner of 23 years was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We were devastated! I went home alone and cried myself to sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I awoke and immediately, the awful events of the day hit me again. I could feel the sadness welling up inside me and then I suddenly had this feeling of such peace, love, and contentment. I felt like I was in a cocoon of light, not bright light, more like candlelight. It felt like someone had wrapped their arms around me and was telling me all would be well! I knew my wonderful partner was going to die, but I knew he was going to be part of the love and peace that I was feeling at that moment! 

Sadly, he passed in November 2022, but not before I told him about my experience. I knew he wasn’t afraid of death because he always believed there was more after we pass.

My partner knew I was telling him the truth and I believe my reinforcing his belief in an afterlife made his passing easier for us both! Was this my Guardian Angel?

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

Absolutely! What you felt at that moment of total despair was your Guardian Angel and “Spirit” in general comforting you.

As children, we’re taught that everything is made of energy, and when we grow up, that concept is broadened with atoms, electrons, and quantum physics concepts like quarks, fermions, hypothetical particles, etc.

Angels, Spirit Guides, deceased loved ones, etc., are all part of what I consider to be God/Source/Spirit, are all energy, and are designed to help us understand God from a human perspective.

I believe we’re not meant to figure out the science of Spirit, just a tiny bit of the concept. That’s why the Bible and many other religious texts are in parable or story form. It’s a way for people to grasp the God/Energy/Source concept.

The Bible (Genesis 1:27) says we’re made in the image and likeness of God. Although most of us think that means God looks like a human, I believe it means we’re made in the image and likeness of God in spirit/energy form.

Having said all that, Spirit communicates with us in a way we can fathom, normally in the form of visions, feelings, or senses.

Spirit often interacts with us in dreams or upon awakening. That’s because our vibrational level has reset to its normal, high frequency, pre-set point, that of Spirit. When we sleep, our brains rest and we get a break from our problems and busy thoughts allowing us to receive information on the spirit channel/frequency.

Your Angel visit was a beautiful gift and reminder that you (and all of us) are never alone. We’re always surrounded by the love of Spirit, however it appears to us.

For more information, please read my Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next book.

Spiritual Career Advice

Paige from Baxter, MN, asked:

Hi Julie,

Long time listener here reaching out from snowy Minnesota! I love listening to your podcasts and would appreciate your insight.

I am struggling at my current job and no longer feel like a vibrational match for the work I do. I feel stuck. I know that I can go out and find an alternate career to make money, but at this point I am truly looking for something that brings me fulfilment and joy rather than just a paycheck.

I am currently working for a Real Estate agency doing things such as marketing and agent training, along with a bunch of miscellaneous tasks. I have been doing my best to stay positive and be open to new opportunities but nothing has quite piqued my curiosity. My gut tells me it is in my best interest to leave my current position at this agency.

Would you or my guides have any advice for me in this instance?

Thank you, and much love!

Paige

Hi Paige,

Thanks for your kind comments and for listening to my show.

If you were a trust fund baby and had more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime, what would you do for fun? Would you travel, start some type of philanthropy, or become a champion rock climber?

The first thoughts that enter your mind will be a clue from spirit (God, your spirit guides, angels, deceased loved ones, etc.) for how to proceed.

Every day we humans receive lots of spiritual guidance in the form of thoughts. Some thoughts feel bad or don’t make sense to us while others feel neutral or good. Thoughts that feel good are called intuition and are ideas/guidance from spirit.

Most intuitive thoughts go unheeded. We think them and either let them go intending to address these ideas at another time, or, we immediately think of why we can’t act on them.

For example, say you get a thought to visit Rome and you immediately think of reasons why you can’t go. You don’t speak Italian, don’t know anyone in Rome, don’t have the money to pay for a plane ticket, hotel and meals, and don’t have anyone to go with you. You get the idea.

So, to help you manifest your new career, pay attention to what interests and excites you. What do you want to learn more about? Then take a step in the direction of your interest. It may be as simple as visiting a website, reading a book, or watching a YouTube video on the subject.

You’ll be led to the next step and the one after that and so on. Trust everything is unfolding perfectly in the most optimal way and time. Expect the people and circumstances to show up right when you need them and they will. Stay focused on what you want not how you’ll get it. When we allow, our wishes can materialize in sometimes magical ways. When we try to control how or when something can or will happen, we block experiences that can be even better than what we’d imagined.

Pablo Picasso said, “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” I agree. The most important part of creating anything, including an amazing career for yourself, is to take action. Follow your interests and be open to where the journey leads you.

P.S. – Stay at your current job until you have another source of income to take its place!

Feeling Deceased Parents

Candy from Brockport, NY, asked:

Hi Julie,

Since my parents’ deaths over two decades ago, I have felt very connected to them and other family members both on my side and my husband’s side. 

I sense messages in various ways. Primarily, I just “feel” their presence and usually quickly understand what they’re trying to convey. 

Can you confirm this? I do not feel it’s my imagination. 

If my assumptions are correct, could you please elaborate/explain? 

Thank you,

Candy

Hi Candy,

Thanks for your question.

You are absolutely correct! You are “feeling” their presence and receiving information from your deceased parents.

We’re all born with intuitive abilities and receive information from deceased loved ones, pets, angels, spirit guides, and others telepathically. It feels like a thought in our head.

The primary method through which we process information from spirit depends on how a person learns.

For example, if you need to see something to remember it, you’re a visual learner. Likewise, if you need to hear something to remember it, you’re an auditory learner, and if you need to feel something to remember it, you’re a kinesthetic learner. You fall into the last (kinesthetic) category.

Once a person learns to trust the information they receive from spirit, the easier it becomes and often additional modalities (visual, auditory, direct knowing) can be realized.

You’ll know you’re communicating with spirit when they respond within a second or less.

One of my Intuitive Trainings can help you further develop your telepathic/medium/psychic skills.

Young Empathic Girl

Caroline from Scaly Mountain, NC, asked:

Hi Julie,

I am reaching out about my ten-year-old daughter Beatrice. She is an empath.

Beatrice takes on others’ energy and has always had encounters with spirits since she was a baby. 

I am trying to foster confidence in her. Pre-teen and teenaged girls can be well … you know.

At this point, she gets scared by the spiritual experiences she has, and I would like her to be more comfortable and confident.

I welcome any advice you have. I’m just trying to foster my sweet girl’s uniqueness in a world where everyone wants to be the same.

Thanks for your consideration.

Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for your note about Beatrice. She sounds extraordinary.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines empath as a person with the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Everyone has empathic abilities; we’re born with them. Some people, however, have a stronger, more developed sense for what others are feeling. Sounds like Beatrice falls into this category.

Likewise, we’re all born with intuitive/psychic abilities and can perceive and communicate with the spirits of deceased people and animals. It’s just that most of us shut down these innate skills around the age of seven. Parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and others who can’t perceive spirits convince us our experiences aren’t real.

Fortunately, we all can develop and enhance our abilities with a little interest and practice.

As for sweet Beatrice, encourage her to talk with you about what she’s seeing and perceiving.

Let her know all spirits are pure love. The whole evil spirit concept is nonsense. It doesn’t exist and was fostered by religions and civilizations to control people with fear.

When Beatrice senses a spirit, she may get goosebumps and/or an increased heartrate. That’s completely normal and is caused by spirit’s high vibration.

Also, please let Beatrice know spirits only send messages that feel neutral or good.

Please consider getting one of my children’s books for your daughter. They’re full of colorful illustrations and will help explain Beatrice’s spiritual experiences in a fun, simple-to-understand way.

Lastly, even though she’s young, consider looking into my new Angels and Enlightenment Training for Beatrice. She can do it at her own pace online and then participate in practice sessions that will help her hone her skills and validate the information she receives.

Having access to spirit will enhance Beatrice’s life in every way, for the rest of her life.

Dying Wishes

Estelle from Manchester, England, asked:

Hi Julie,

I am 27 years old and I’m currently facing stage 4 terminal cancer.

Firstly, could you please send some healing energy my way?

Also, can you please help me meet my spirit guides to aid me in this journey? I think I have met one but would like to hear from you about my guides if possible.

Lastly could you send a message to my grandma and Uncle Steve and ask them to watch over me, my husband and beautiful baby girl through this time in our lives?

Thank you so much!

Estelle

Hi Estelle,

Thanks for your note.

To help you in your journey, I energetically connected to you and saw you’re in Phase 7 of the Twelve Phases of Transition®. This means you have begun the transition to Heaven and are surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones (including your grandma and Uncle Steve) and pets.

Everyone goes through all the Twelve Phases regardless of how they pass. It can happen instantly, take days, weeks, months or even years. And, you can completely withdraw from the Phases. I’ve seen people in Phase 11 decide to live and go on to experience a long life.

Having said all that, I’m unable to do a medical scan on you while you’re in the Phases since your spirit is out of your body. (Our spirit acts as the power source for the body.) I did, however, send healing energy to you.

Please remember, everything can be healed and a healing can take many forms. Sometimes, death is the healing.

As for your spirit guides, we normally have seven with us at any given time. You have 17 and they’re dispersed in the crowd of deceased loved ones around you!

Your main spirit guide’s name is David and you can chat with him anytime you wish. Just say something to him either aloud or in your head. His answer will immediately come in and will feel like a thought in your head. You’ll know it’s him when you get a response within a second.

I’m forwarding copies of my books Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next and my children’s books Angel Messages For Kids and Angel Messages For Dogs. In addition, you may want to watch my interview with hospice director Dr. Chris Kerr whose research shows loved ones’ spirits surrounding people at the end of their lives.

Hope this information provides some comfort to you and your family.

Sending big hugs and lots of love from Sweet Home Alabama!

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.
