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.

A Widow’s Inspiration

Caroline from Glasgow, Scotland, asked:

Hi Julie,

February 18th was the 7th anniversary of my husband’s death.

He took his own life and I was left with massive financial challenges and was widowed in a horrific way.

In addition, I lost both parents and five friends within the space of 6 years.

I have a deep faith but having to deal with all of this makes me feel overwhelmed.

It’s time to move on but I feel at such a loss right now so I prayed to God for guidance and asked for a sign. Your name came into my mind.

I’m trusting your good heart will reach mine.

Thank you, Julie.

Caroline xx

Hi Caroline,

My goodness, you’ve certainly been through a lot in the last few years. I completely understand your wish to move on and create a new life for yourself.

With that in mind, here are a few thoughts and concepts that may help.

First, it’s important to remember we all choose, where, when, how and who if anyone is with us when we die, even when it’s horrendous, like in the case of your husband’s death.

Next, although it’s virtually impossible for us to make sense of a situation like that, it’s also important to remember, our spirit comes in with an expectation of what it wants to experience in this lifetime.

In a past life, it’s feasible your husband was the spouse of, child of, parent or friend of someone who committed suicide and, in this life, wanted to experience what it felt like to be the person who died in that manner. Likewise, the same goes for you. Perhaps you committed suicide in a past life and wanted to explore it from the perspective of the person left behind to pick up the pieces.

Furthermore, we create what we want from knowing what we don’t want. In other words, conflict, in whatever form, helps us clarify what we want in our lives.

We all have the ability to create whatever we desire by focusing on the end result. When we try to control how something is going to happen, we limit our experiences and often negate a better outcome in the process. When, however, we trust everything is unfolding perfectly, we’re given the information we need at the perfect time.

You obviously receive guidance from God (spirit) and know to follow it. Congratulations, that’s the hardest part of the manifestation process. That is, receiving messages and taking action.

Guidance will come to you as a thought in your head. When you ask for assistance from God, your angels, spirit guides, deceased loved ones, whomever, a response will come into your head within a second. If you think about it for more than a couple seconds, that’ll be your brain talking to you.

In addition, when you get a thought and fear arises, ask yourself if you took that action, would it kill you in the next two minutes. If so, don’t do it. If not, take the step. Then you’ll be given more guidance. Take it one step at a time and you’ll be led to where you want to go.

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 informative, inspiring and comforting.

Sending big hugs your way.

Michael from Biloxi, MS, asked:

Hi Julie,

So here is my situation. My wife and I have had some rocky times over the last several months and have almost split. 

I’m almost ashamed to admit this, but several weeks ago another girl and I started chatting on Facebook, mainly about paranormal stuff.  Strangely enough, we really hit it off and were chatting daily. 

I don’t know what it is, but we just had this unbelievable connection. We both felt it and we also felt familiar to each other, like we knew each other in another life or something.  

Even stranger, she is from Venezuela and we still hit it off amazingly. We have even video chatted a few times. 

I’m feeling the weight of guilt here, but I’m also floored by the unbelievable and indescribable connection we have.  

I would like to ask my Spirit Guides why I have this amazing connection with this person at this time? I’ve truly never felt a connection as strong as this. 

Also, do we have some kind of past life connection?  We both feel this could be the case. 

Sadly, at the same time, I have felt a disconnection with my wife. I’m at a loss about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your question. Although these feelings and sensations are new to you, they’re not uncommon.

Were you and Miss Venezuela together in a past life? Yes, many past lives.

Among other things, you have been her mother, sibling, colleague, spouse, and acquaintance which explains the close connection you sense. It’s quite probable you’re experiencing a type of déjà vu memory that can’t be explained with rational thinking.

In addition, it sounds like fantasy is a big part of the equation. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fantasy as, “The power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need.”

You mentioned your marriage is experiencing “rocky times”. That may indicate you might be satisfying an emotional or psychological need with this online relationship, one that could foster addictive even irrational behavior.

Licensed clinical psychologist Steven Kimmons, Ph.D., of Loyola University Medical Center said, “One spouse connects online with someone. The person is emotionally available, and they start communicating through Facebook. Within a short amount of time, the sharing of personal stories can lead to a deepened sense of intimacy, which in turn can point the couple in the direction of physical contact.”

Studies show Facebook is cited in 1 out of every 5 divorces in the United States and according to a survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, (AAML), 81% of the attorneys polled said they have seen an increase in the number of cases involving social media evidence.

Family Law Attorney Larry Hance says, “Lawyers and clients arrive more and more often at the courtroom (or attorney’s office) armed with records from Facebook and social media. Any online activity—including email and text messages—is admissible evidence in Court.”

One more point. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warned romance-related scams are now the most costly form of online fraud. Losses from online-dating-related fraud quadrupled in recent years, ballooning from $33 million lost in 2015 to $143 million lost in 2018. Has this woman asked you for money yet?

Just because you’ve been together in past lives doesn’t mean she’s ethical in this one!

Your spirit guides advise discontinuing your online relationship with Miss Venezuela and concentrating on fixing your marriage. Your current family is where you’re best suited at this moment in time.

I agree!

Amy from Lakeland, FL, asked:                 

Hello Julie,

I love your podcast! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you share. I really enjoy how your show brings much needed comfort to so many.

I wanted to ask you about a past life. I had a reading done a year ago by a psychic who saw that I had a past life as woman possibly living in the 15th century. This psychic said I was persecuted because I married a man I wasn’t allowed to marry.

Well, I have been going to school for hypnotherapy. One skill we learned is a breath work technique meant to clear out any blockages. You never know where breath work might lead. Usually people will go back to a trauma from childhood.

When it was my turn as a student to try breath work, I went back to a past life and I believe it was the one I had the reading on! I saw my husband and myself being corralled by the towns people. It seems I was too outspoken in this village and we were both hanged. It was quite an experience in hypnosis.

Do you see anything pertaining to this life or a past life in which I was persecuted? Can you see the century or give me any more information about that lifetime?

I feel it has been quite healing to learn some of this and has helped clear some blocks in my current lifetime.

Thank you so much Julie.

Amy

Hi Amy,

What an interesting and fun question you’ve asked. My answer may sound like a Downton Abbey tale from the Middle Ages. Here’s what I “got” when energetically connecting to your past life in question.

Your name was Lady Arabella and you lived in an area near the current-day city of Arlon in Belgium. You were an aristocrat, the daughter of a wealthy family of landowners and merchants. The year was 1497 which would’ve been at the end of the 15th century.

At that time, the area in what is now southeast Belgium, was ruled by the Duchy of Luxembourg and as you correctly guessed, marriages of different classes were highly frowned upon and basically forbidden. Aristocrats not only had to get permission to marry from their powerful families, they had to obtain permission from their Lord (in your case, the Duke of Luxembourg). Needless to say, the Lords almost always sided with the paternal head of the bride or groom’s family. It’s interesting to note that even today, Queen Elizabeth and other monarchs and nobility must approve marriages of their relatives.

In this past life, you fell in love with a liveryman, a man who worked in your family’s stable and tended to the estate’s horses. His name was Martin. And just to complicate matters, you were betrothed to the son of a wealthy family in what is modern-day Brussels. His family, like yours, owned a vast amount of land used for farming. Your marriage was to be the combining of two powerful families and would’ve resulted in increased riches for all concerned.

Being the determined woman you were, you defied the rules, married Martin and made plans to live your lives elsewhere.

Where it got tragic was when you and Martin tried to leave your family’s estate. You both stole horses, money, and supplies, and for that, you were hanged. During the Middle Ages, stealing was a crime punishable by death.

In the end, I suppose you could say you lost your life because you followed your heart and married a fellow from a different class. Now that’s what I call true love!

Hope this answers some questions for you.

Doug from Munhall, PA, asked:

Hi Julie,

I heard you interviewed and am now reading your book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. (It’s very good).

My question is, were the people (family and friends) in our present life now, in our past lives as well?

And, will they be in our future lives even if they are in different roles? An example might be my mother now was my boss two lives ago.

I hope I’m asking this correctly (LOL).

Thank you,

Doug

Hi Doug,

What a great question! Thanks for your kind comments about my interview and book.

The word “reincarnation” is Latin in origin and literally means “entering the flesh again.”

Several of the world’s great religions, certainly many Eastern religions and philosophies like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism to name a few, believe in reincarnation as did ancient Greek figures like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato, the Celtic Druids and some sects of Judaism (evidenced in Hasidic and Kabbalistic texts).

As for Christianity, there are scholars who say even the early Church espoused reincarnation until 553 AD when the Second Council of Constantinople rejected it. A 2009 survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life showed a quarter of Americans believe in reincarnation, and 24 percent of American Christians expressed a belief in reincarnation.

Having said all that, I personally believe all of us have lived countless past lives. Over the years as I’ve done many past life scans for clients, I have been able to glean detailed information (like dates, places, events, etc.), that were later validated with historic documents. It’s really fun to explore past lives and how they correlate with/affect our current life.

To answer your question, yes, everyone we know in our current life has been in our past lives as well. What we think of as a “soulmate” has, in recent history, been portrayed in literature and the entertainment industry as a once-in-a-lifetime romantic love. While this concept sounds good and sells lots of books and movies, it’s short-sighted.

Everyone in our life, whether a spouse, lover, sibling, teacher, child, friend, acquaintance, etc., is a soulmate. And, each one of those people has been in our past lives and will assume a different role in the subsequent lives we share. 

Hope this sheds some light on a concept many of us have a tough time understanding.

Julie from Spruce Head, ME, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have been teaching K-8 visual art for 13 years and even though I love the kids, to be honest, I’m bored. 

I would love to be able to do something different where I’m creative, that pays well, and has good health insurance. 

Do you have any suggestions? Perhaps my deceased mother will come through with a message.

Thank you,    

Julie

Hi Julie,

Love your name!

In order to get some guidance for you, I connected to you in Maine.

When I got you on my radar, your mom was standing to your right. Our deceased loved ones are always standing in that position. (They know when we’re talking about them.)

The guidance I received for you regarding your career was to explore a position with a municipal library in your area. By the way, your mother said you were fascinated with the library as a little girl.

The job can entail utilizing your art knowledge and talents by working with children and people of all ages. It also included working in a municipal senior center.

A little know fact is, library employees are often paid a much larger salary than teachers and like teachers, have great benefits and retirement programs.

In addition, one of your spirit guides calling himself Jacques, who lived as a man in 1813 in Lyon, France, offered his opinion. I laughed when I first saw that he appeared as a painter, wearing a beret and smock and holding a painters pallet and brush.

Jacques said you might want to consider selling your paintings and starting a side business. He recommended doing painting parties for kids and adults, perhaps for birthdays and other events. He said these parties could be patterned after the “Sips N’ Strokes” model except you could go to the party wherever it was being held instead of having the guests come to you. By providing art supplies and giving some simple instructions, you could provide joy to a lot of people and get paid for doing so.

Hope these ideas are helpful. Thanks for your question.

Erin from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, asked:

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for your beautiful energy and for sharing your buffet of talents!

I have been working on blocks and limiting beliefs and I was wondering if you could scan my energy field and identify anything specific I need to consider.

Although I would be grateful to work on any significant block, the most notable one currently in my life is my relationship with my mom. She is an amazing mother and nana to my 3 kids but we are very different. Too often my annoyance with my mother gets in the way of my love and appreciation for her.

Thank you so much for all that you do!

Erin

Hi Erin,

Your question about why your mother annoys you has most likely been asked since the beginning of time. And, as I suspect you’ve realized, we often don’t comprehend the level of care, nurturing and love our mothers give us until we have children of our own.

Having said all that, it’s very common for a past life or many past lives to be a factor in influencing our relationships in this lifetime.

With that in mind, I did a past life scan on you and asked to be shown the most significant past life that correlated with your testy relationship with your mom in this lifetime.

I was immediately shown a scene of you as a 5 year-old orphan girl living on the streets of Marseilles, France. The year was 1794. It was winter, there was snow on the ground and you were dressed in tattered clothes. The image reminded me of The Little Match Girl from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of an abandoned child.

After receiving information that your mother had died from a wide-spread disease, I did some research to find if there were any epidemics in Marseilles during that time. What I found in the U.S. National Library at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was mention of a “malignant fever” outbreak in Marseilles 1793-1794 that killed a percentage of the population.

I also “got” (received information) that because of past life experiences, you are extremely independent in this lifetime and often bristle when someone offers suggestions on how to do something. You hear advice as criticism even when it’s meant to help and is given in a loving way.

Being abandoned for a multitude of reasons in past lives may be influencing you to believe you’re better off handling and figuring out things on your own and not relying on anyone else.

If this description resonates with you, please consider scheduling a private session with me and we’ll have an hour to decipher all these correlations and theories.

Thanks for submitting such a great question!

Carla from Houston, TX, asked:

Hi Julie,

I have been a huge fan since I came across your podcast several months ago. I am constantly checking for new shows from you.

I would really like to know about my past life or lives. I sometimes know how things will turn out. How am I able to do that?

For example, I have always had a feeling as if I will not live a long life. Could that concern comes from my past lives? For example, my daughters were both caesarean babies. Maybe I died giving birth in a past life.

Thank you for sharing your tremendous gift with the world!

Hi Carla,

Thanks for your question and kind words!

Everyone, including you, is born with intuitive capabilities. Some of us choose to develop them, and some just notice and/or are amazed at the information that randomly enters their minds. It’s all divine/spiritual guidance.

When connecting with you and analyzing your past lives, 67 of them came into view.

Some interesting ones are:

– You were a Roman Soldier who died on the battlefield in the year 736 BC.

– You were a sailor on a Spanish cargo ship and died in 1678 on a voyage to France.

– You were a Sioux Indian woman who died in what is now Minnesota in 1639.

– You were a New England woman who died in 1737 while living in what is now New Hampshire.

Except for the Roman soldier lifetime, you died of natural causes in all of the others mentioned above.

By the way … you looked like a Pilgrim woman in 1737. Thought that was interesting considering Thanksgiving is next week!

Finally, I “get” you will live a long life this time.

To further explore your past lives in more detail, please schedule a private session. It’s sure to be a lot of fun.

Miscarried Baby

/

Kiley from Pocatello, ID, asked:

Dear Julie,

I had a miscarriage 7 years ago that was very devastating for me.

One of the things that has been really hard was that I miscarried at 11 weeks and never found out the sex of my child.

Can you tell me what sex my child was and what has happened with them? Thanks.

Hi Kiley,

My condolences on the loss of your baby.

When I got you on my radar, I could see what looked like a newborn infant wrapped in a receiving blanket with bunnies on it next to you. Your baby was a girl.

She wanted me to let you know that everything unfolded perfectly. She told me she wanted to experience what it was like to be a miscarried fetus, and you wanted to experience what it was like to miscarry. You both got your wish.

Your daughter told me she had a genetic mutation/malfunction that caused the miscarriage. Although you may already know this, your baby wanted me to tell you what happened was perfectly normal.

Miscarriages are nature’s method of making sure the human species survives. She said miscarriages are way more common than we think. It’s just that most women aren’t aware they’ve miscarried.

Your baby’s spirit is always around you. So far, she has not reincarnated. She told me you two have been together in 73 previous lifetimes and will be together in many more.

You can talk with her anytime you wish. Just ask her a question in your head. Her answer will be the first thing that pops into your head. If the answer takes more than a couple of seconds, that’s your brain answering you.

Hope this brings you some peace.

Thanks for your question.
