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!

Angels Escorted Little Boy

Wendi from O’Fallon, MO, asked:

Hi Julie,

I heard your wonderful podcast with Dave Asprey and I would love a copy of your Angelic Attendants book.

My 3-year-old son died from a medication error during his surgery. He went into cardiac arrest on the operating room table and suffered devastating strokes from the lack of oxygen to his brain.

We spent a week in the hospital trying to control the brain swelling, but to no avail. He herniated and was declared brain dead.

I was left with so much pain, anger, questions, sorrow, guilt, and devastation.

There is so much I want to say here but I’ll just say knowing that he left with my grandparents and angels gives me some comfort and peace.  And I pray that his time in the OR and ICU were pain free and he is now at peace with the angels!

Thanks for any input you can share.

Wendi

Hi Wendi,

Oh my goodness, my condolences to you and your family.

Please know your son was surrounded by angels and the sprits of deceased loved ones and pets as he transitioned. We all are.

In fact, university-based research shows close to 90% of people see the spirits of their deceased loved ones and pets in dreams and visions in the days and months preceding death.

To get some information for you, I telepathically communicated with your little boy’s spirit. He said, “Mommy, I can see you through my telescope,” and showed me a scene of him looking through an old-fashioned, nautical telescope once used by ship captains.

Does that mean anything to you? Did your son pretend to be a pirate or captain of a ship?

His message may just be to convey he’s playing happily in Heaven. Hope this information comforts you.

Lastly, please visit Helping Parent Heal. It’s a wonderful organization that has helped comfort countless families and I believe you’d greatly benefit from their programs.

Life in Heaven

Vivian from Sherman Oaks, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

On a recent guided meditation, I was able to see my son. He showed me a woman and a little boy and I understood they were his family. I also understood that it wasn’t here on earth. They were all in heaven. Can this be possible?

Do our loved ones continue their lives and they are able to get married and have a family? 

He never got to have one here. He passed when he was 22.

Thanks, Vivian

Hi Vivian,

What a terrific question! Thanks for submitting it.

First though, my condolences on the passing of your son.

It’s been my experience in chatting with tens of thousands of spirits that yes, indeed, we live countless lives with many other spirits. Some call them our “soul family” and they can be in multiple lives with us playing different roles.

For example, your son may have been your parent, grandparent, friend, colleague, or acquaintance in your past lives. It’s as if we all assume a role in each lifetime that allows our spirit to explore and experience different perspectives. It’s much like how an actor plays a role in a movie.

With regard to the woman and little boy your son showed you, they are just what I mentioned above, they are his “soul family” and can be with him in heaven as well as in subsequent lifetimes.

Please know you can communicate with your son anytime you like. Just think of him and say something either in your mind or aloud. His answer will be the first thought that comes into your head within a second or less.

If you’d like to learn how to communicate with any spirit regardless of whether they’re attached to a body or not, please check out my training classes. We all have the ability. It’s just a matter of developing and enhancing the innate abilities we all possess.

Earth Angel

Kitty from Rockport, TX, asked:

Hi Julie,

Ivan is an 87-year-old man who lives alone and for whom I have been cleaning for the past 7 years.

He has become my unofficially adopted grandfather and has no family except for a granddaughter in Michigan. They don’t seem to have a relationship. My daughter, her dad and I are all Ivan has.

Ivan was diagnosed with lung cancer about 6-7 months ago but has refused medical treatment. He claims he’s ready to go but I’m not so sure that’s true because he’s made comments about being afraid to go.

I just feel he doesn’t want the trouble of all the doctor’s appointments and medication side effects. Who really would, right (!?), especially at 87 years old.

Since his diagnosis, Ivan has become quite confused. He forgets dates, to pay his bills, and conversations we’ve just had. In addition, he’s not bathing or eating much anymore.

I would just like to know which stage of death he is in. He is very demanding and it’s exhausting us all but still we take care of him.

It’s apparent he doesn’t need to be living alone but he has told me that his wishes are to die in his home. I have not called Adult Protective Services because I don’t want to interfere with what he wants.

What should I do? Should I call or let fate work it out?

Currently on chapter 6 of your Angelic Attendants book and it’s so helpful. Thanks Julie.

Sincerely,

Kitty

Hi Kitty,

You are what I call an “earth angel” for your devotion and care of Ivan. Bless you!

He is currently in Phase 9 of the Twelve Phases of Transition®.

That means his spirit is out of his body and is attached to the top of his head in a bubble configuration. He is surrounded by angels and the spirits of deceased loved ones and pets.

Ivan tells me he is ready to go, isn’t in much pain, and just needs “to get on with it”.

My advice is to call in a Hospice agency for assistance.

Ivan’s Medicare insurance should cover the cost and the hospice staff can help with bathing, end-of-life care, and allowing him to pass in his home.

Sending big hugs ~

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Heather from New York, NY, asked:

Hi Julie,

I am wondering about taking estrogen but I’m scared of the cancer risk.

A psychic I talked to said it could increase my chance of getting cancer.

Your thoughts?

Thank you.

Heather

Hi Heather,

Great question!

Since I’ve been on them for close to 20 years, I’m a huge fan of bioidentical hormones. They keep our brains, hearts, bones, skin, and bodies healthy.

When considering taking hormone replacement therapy, it’s worth researching the difference between bioidentical, natural, and synthetic hormones.

In talking about the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, world renown women’s health expert, OB/GYN, Christiane Northrup, MD, says, “Bioidentical hormones are identical in their molecular shape, makeup, and structure to hormones made in the human body.”

Dr. Northrup goes on to say, “One thing you need to remember is that ‘natural’ or ‘plant-based’ does not necessarily mean bioidentical. When it comes to a hormone, bioidentical means that it matches exactly what’s normally occurring in your body.”

Synthetic hormones are made by big pharma, have extra molecules added to their formulas so they can be patented, and contain ingredients derived from horse mare urine.

Regarding the cancer risk, the U.S. National Institutes of Health cites a 2019 study published in the British Journal of General Practice about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy that states, “Most women and healthcare professionals are concerned about the possible risks of breast cancer in women taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, the risk is far lower than many realize. Women who take estrogen only HRT do not have a greater risk of breast cancer.4 “ 

To find a hormone replacement practitioner in your area, please call a local compounding pharmacy and ask who’s prescribing through them. You can also go to the “find a practitioner” section of the Institute for Functional Medicine or the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

For more information, please listen to Episode #259 of my Ask Julie Ryan podcast where Dr. Northrup and I discuss all things perimenopause and menopause.

Holiday Stories Benefit Everyone

Why is it that we all love holiday stories?

I believe it’s because hearing stories during this special time makes us feel nostalgic and a part of a larger group of people who have heard the same tales over the years.

In addition, it seems there’s a physiological reason we feel elated when hearing a story.

Maria Amasanti, MD, says, “Neuroscience has shown that the brain processes stories differently compared to other types of information. The emotional connection with stories enables the brain to remember meaningful details. The brain activity of someone reading fiction has been shown to closely resemble that of someone going through the actual experience.

Furthermore, scientists are finding that chemicals like cortisol, dopamine and oxytocin are released in the brain when we’re told a story.

  • Cortisol helps to make memories.
  • Dopamine, which helps regulate our emotional responses, keeps us engaged.
  • Oxytocin, aka the love hormone, creates empathy which is key in deepening and maintaining good relationships.”

The University of California, Berkley agrees, stating, “If the story has a happy ending, it triggers the limbic system, the brain’s reward center, to release dopamine.”

And, Harvard University reports, “Stories appeal to our senses and our emotions, not only drawing our attention more easily, but also leaving an impact on us as audiences. This makes storytelling powerful in delivering any message. If you deliver a story right, as evidenced throughout history, it might last a lifetime.”

The Nativity story in the Bible, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Moore, are all great examples of stories that last not only one, but countless lifetimes.

So, during this holiday season, read the classics to your children and yourself. Encourage loved ones to do the same and to share family stories of holiday get-togethers and happenings. It’ll provide a special connection between all participants and entertain everyone.

Wishing you and those you love a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Enhancing Spirit Communication

Tom from Queens Village, NY, asked:

Hi Julie,

When I was young, I was able to communicate with animals.

My abilities got stronger as I got older and I was able to communicate with plants, even rocks.

On one occasion, apparently, a lot of entities realized that I could understand them, and a multitude tried to communicate all at the same time. It was more than I could handle and I ordered it to stop. It did.

Now that I’m much older, I wish I could get the ability back albeit in an amount I could handle. Any suggestions?

Thanks, 

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your question.

We’re all born with intuitive abilities, including being able to telepathically communicate with any energy whether it’s a person, pet, or plant.

Although most people don’t talk about it, what you experienced earlier in your life is very common, even universal.

When we don’t understand something, we immediately feel fear. We humans are all hard-wired for fear and it serves us well. It keeps us alive.

Now, fear is a low vibration which is why it doesn’t feel good. Our spirit, and all spirits for that matter, vibrate very high (rapidly) because they don’t have a dense body to slow down the vibration.

When you realize all spirits are pure love and there’s nothing to fear, you’ll be able to once again communicate with any spirit you wish, at any time.

To quickly and easily improve your telepathic abilities and communicate with spirit, please check out my trainings.

Cause of Sleep Paralysis

Christine from Bloomfield, MI, asked:

Hi Julie,

I wanted to get some insight on episodes of sleep paralysis I have experienced.

I had them on and off as a child – during sleep I would feel my whole body go rigid. It felt like I was being held down and I couldn’t move or speak. Thanks to all the horror movies I watched, I thought this was being caused by something sinister making it even more scary.

The episodes stopped for years but then I had another one last week.

This time, my cat was sleeping on my chest, except the feline didn’t really look like my cat and was much bigger. This made me wonder whether I was dreaming or awake because my cat doesn’t sleep on my chest at night, only at my feet.

At that point I felt this jolt of energy hit my chest, like I was being electrocuted! Again, I couldn’t speak but somehow managed to say “If this is of high vibration, what is your message? If this is of low vibration, leave my presence”. And then it stopped when I felt my real cat stretch at my feet.

Any insight into what on earth is happening to me would be great.

Thanks,

Christine

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your question. It’s one I’ve been asked several times before.

Research shows that over 7% of the general population will experience sleep paralysis at some point in their lives. 

The literature shows sleep paralysis to be a mixed state of consciousness, combining elements of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep with elements of wakefulness.

During REM sleep, we experience a brief loss of muscle control commonly known as REM atonia

REM atonia prevents us from acting out our dreams, keeping our physical bodies safe and still while we rest. When REM sleep ends and we experience a state of wakefulness, the muscle paralysis caused by REM atonia ends. 

During sleep paralysis, however, REM sleep ceases and we wake up while REM atonia is still active. That means our brains are awake while our bodies are not, resulting in a feeling of being paralyzed.

Add to this, the fear a person experiences sends them into a fight or flight response. This prompts their body to release cortisol which increases their heart rate, allows panic to set in, and scares them even further.

In addition, parasomnia researchers claim this mixed state of consciousness can lead to strange mental and physical imagery in the form of hallucinations lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes and can feel like hours.

Furthermore, research shows 75% of people who encounter sleep paralysis claim to experience hallucinations different from regular dreams and 93% of people report feeling extreme fear during or after the episode.

In conclusion, no evil or other spirits are at play when you experience sleep paralysis, rather, there is a physiological phenomenon happening.

And remember, ALL spirits are pure love!

Music in Heaven

Kristin from Phoenix, AZ, asked:

Hi Julie!

I have a fun question.

Do they have concerts in Heaven?

Thanks,

Kristin

Hi Kristin,

That is a fun question.

When I think of music in Heaven, I envision angels playing harps and trumpets and singing celestial-sounding melodies.

In fact, music is mentioned several times in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments.

For example, Moses and the Israelites sing a song in Exodus 15, while Revelation 5:8-9 and 14:2-3 talk about harps and Revelation 8-11 talks about trumpets.

In addition, there is music that generates an energetic and/or emotional response from us mere mortals. Have you ever heard music that gave you chill bumps or made you teary? I believe that’s heavenly music or at least heavenly-inspired music.

When our son Jonathan was a freshman in high school, his choir sang Poulenc’s Gloria.

Although I hadn’t ever heard of the composer Francis Poulenc or his Gloria, when I heard it performed, tears streamed down my cheeks because it was so beautiful and felt spiritually inspired.

So, to answer your question, yes, all types of music are played and sung in Heaven and right here on earth too! I love the thought of angels accompanying the great masters like Beethoven, Bach, and Tchaikovsky as well as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Pavarotti!
