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

7 Comments / /

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

8 Comments / /

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!

Aggressive Spirit

10 Comments / /

Ryan from West Sussex, England, asked:

Hi Julie,

Twenty-five years ago, while laying on my bed awake on a ferry boat, I saw figures that looked just like how you describe Casper the Friendly Ghost. I related immediately.

At the time, I thought, wow I’m actually seeing spirits!

One of the spirits however, passed in front then turned abruptly to me and was trying to tell me something. It became violently angry then punched through me at which point, I leapt off the bed and turned on the light.

I have carried that experience for all this time and can’t understand what this spirit wanted. I was crossing the English Channel at the time.

I should mention that there were other spirits present, but only this one was aggressive.

Do you have any insights about this?

Many thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan (love your name),

What an experience you had and what a great question.

To get some answers for you, I first energetically connected to you and then did an instant replay (like what you see when watching a sporting event on television) of your experience on the ferry boat while crossing the Channel.

The English Channel, a portion of the Atlantic Ocean separating Southern England and Northern France, is the busiest shipping area in the world, and is known for its rough seas and thousands of shipwrecks.

When replaying the scene you describe, I “got” (information telepathically received from Spirit) that the spirit trying to communicate with you was a man calling himself John Marlborough who was a naval officer on the HMS Victory, a ship that sunk in a storm in the Channel in 1744 killing 1,100 sailors.

Researchers believe the Victory was built with sub-standard materials, in particular, unseasoned timbers that didn’t withstand the violent seas, causing it to sink.

Having said all that, Marlborough was trying to alert sailors the ship was about to sink and no one was listening to him.

I believe his spirit was still attempting to alert his sailors of potential catastrophe and you happened to be able to sense his presence.

There are those who say multiple realities exist at the same time. It seems feasible to me, and if true, can certainly explain what you experienced, meaning, the HMS Victory’s impending doom was happening simultaneously with the reality you were experiencing twenty-five years ago.

Spirit Relationships When Dying

2 Comments / /

Kathy in Albuquerque, NM, asked:

Hi Julie,

I studied your Twelve Phases of Transition® chart after hearing you on the Dave Asprey podcast. 

I believe I heard you say that the mother will greet you first at the time of death. 

What if I didn’t have that great of a relationship with my mother? I’m actually worried about this. 

I was hoping other loved ones would arrive first, not necessarily my mother.

Thanks.

Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for your question. It’s one I’m often asked.

We’re all eternal spirits attached to a human body … every one of us. And, since personality traits stay with a person’s body when they die and all spirits are pure love, there’s nothing to worry about.

In the thousands of end-of-life transitions I’ve seen (in my mind’s eye) over the past twenty-plus years, it’s always the closest maternal spirit who arrives first as their child is dying and runs the show from the spirit side of the equation.

It’s she who brings in the angels, other loved ones’ spirits, and the spirits of deceased pets. And, each time, it’s the maternal spirit who orchestrates everything beautifully. It’s truly a glorious scene.

To learn more, please consider reading my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. I believe you’ll find it interesting, enjoyable and most of all comforting.

Miracle Babies

Janet from Santa Barbara, CA, asked:

Hi Julie,

Forty years ago, I was pregnant with quadruplets. I had undergone fertility treatments in Los Angeles with the best doctors (I’m a nurse, and my husband is a doctor). My physician couldn’t ever explain why there were so many babies because all my scans were normal. They said I was just meant to have four children.

At twenty-four weeks, while on bed rest at a nearby hospital, I was accidentally overdosed with medication. My water bag broke and I delivered three girls and a boy on Christmas Day, 1982. The babies survived a day and all succumbed to prematurity. I felt badly for the nurse and forgave her, I know how mistakes can happen. Nonetheless, I was heartbroken.

Six months later, the fertility doctor felt I should try again and said the result of being pregnant with four babies was a fluke and couldn’t be explained. Well, this time I got pregnant with five, one child in my fallopian tube, four in my uterus.

I had surgery to remove the baby and tube. The doctors figured out I was still pregnant on a scan a few days later and was able to carry the babies to twenty-nine weeks, three boys and one girl … thirty-nine years old today and healthy. A miracle for sure, especially back in 1983.

After the four babies were born, the doctors told me I could never get pregnant again and funny, a year later, I got pregnant and had another daughter.

I often think about the babies I lost. I know I will see them again, but often wish I could converse with them and let them know how much I’ve loved them.

All five of my children are true miracles and I often think God blessed me abundantly for trusting and believing He had my best interest at heart.

Can you let me know that my four angels in spirit (five with the baby in the fallopian tube), are going to be there to greet me in Heaven someday?

Thank you,

Janet

Hi Janet,

Wow, what a story!

Calling your children, all ten of them, miracle babies, is an understatement!

Not only will all of your deceased babies greet you when you arrive in Heaven (along with the spirits of many other deceased relatives, friends, and pets), they’re around you now and you can communicate with them anytime you wish.

Here’s how. Our heads are like big satellite dishes that transmit and receive frequencies. And since every spirit, whether or not it’s currently attached to a body, has its own frequency, all we have to do is tap into that frequency. So, in order to communicate with your babies (or any spirit), just think of them. That’ll tune your satellite dish head to their frequency. It’s similar to a radio station. When you choose 94.7 to listen to classic rock, you connect to 94.7 megahertz, the frequency on which that music is being broadcast.

Just say something to one or all of your spirit babies either aloud or in your mind. Their answer will immediately come into your head and feel like one of your thoughts. How you know the thought is from your spirit baby is, it’ll be the first thought you think and will happen within a second or less. Try it and you’ll realize how easy it is.

For more information about what spirits surround us at the time of our death, please read my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next.

And to develop and enhance the intuitive abilities you and everyone else naturally possess, please consider enrolling in one of my trainings.

Thanks for your question. I hope my answer comforts you.

Cause of Eczema

2 Comments / /

Jackie from Londonderry, UK, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have eczema on the soles of my feet which prevents me from walking.

Please help me!

Thanks,

Jackie

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for your question. I can only imagine how painful your feet must be.

To learn more, I energetically connected to you in the UK, and saw (in my mind’s eye) what looked like a combination of open sores, cracks in the skin, crusty/scaly skin, and lots of inflammation.

Next, I watched an energetic healing occur in which a thick white cream was applied to your feet. It has anti-inflammatory and robust healing properties in it.

In addition, I saw (again in my mind’s eye), that your GI system is full of yeast, causing what’s known as a “leaky gut”.

Mark Hyman, MD, says, “Leaky gut creates low-grade inflammation in reaction to food particles (deemed foreign by your immune system) that literally leak through your gut wall. This causes food sensitivities, especially to gluten and dairy, which are the biggest food causes of eczema.”

I energetically cleared the yeast overgrowth and stitched the intestinal wall separations in your leaky gut.

Please consider getting a gut biome test done. It’ll tell you about the eco-system in your GI tract, where most of our immune system is based, and in turn will let you know the best foods to eat and avoid. Since food is the best medicine, it makes sense to use the Jackie diet, one that’s specifically designed for you.

In the meantime, do your best to eat whole foods and avoid sugar, refined foods, gluten and dairy. And, you may want to add purified fish oil, Vitamin A, zinc, and Vitamin D to your diet.

Hope you feel better!
