So Let’s Start!
ENERGY SHIFT 1/11/11 – 11/11/11
Relationships, Family First and Living your truth and practicing what you preach!
This very serious energy shift we are currently experiencing is one that shouldn’t be taken too lightly! Right now from the start of November to the all-important 11/11/11 is all about relationships, family first and living your truth and practicing what you preach! I myself have even been working through this shift touching on all of these subjects too! This is why it is so important as of right now it is the make or break time in many relationships and a time to start living our truth and practicing what we preach!
Spirit tells me that all relationships need to be looked at careful and deciding whether it is important enough to fight for these relationships which maybe family, friends, work colleagues or other relationships in general or even the relationship with you. It is so easily done that the stranger can walk past us and bump into us and yet we both turn around and say we are ‘sorry’ or’ that’s okay’ not looking for why it happened or what was behind them bumping into in the first place. This way we are so kind to strangers even if it had hurt us tremendously we tell them it is now their fault and we do not read into it.
Yet why is it then that we hurt the ones we love the ones we share relationships with by speaking to them in a manner that is inhuman. Why do we do this? Most people in say they feel emotionally wounded in their relationships on a regular basis. For example a family relationship where the people in the family all love each other and want to stay strong as a family unit, yet they keep hurting each other through verbal abuse, physical rejection, betraying emotional trust and bringing up vulnerable topics from their past causing a rift and even a split in the family.
Why? Because the people involved cannot say ‘sorry’ or ‘I was wrong’ taking no responsibility and ownership hence leaving the situation and the relationship fragmented and unloved. Inevitably it is the children in the family or relationships that hurt and have to suffer because of our behaviour. This goes for any relationship that maybe under strain as it can be friends of the friends or the other work colleagues that have to deal with these issues too! As I have said many times before this society has had the opinion that it is not about who is right or wrong but about who wins!
When did we become a society that relied so heavily on fear to get what they want! Unfortunately we have all been there and said things we shouldn’t have said to the ones we love and care about (me included) and I know it doesn’t feel nice so that is why Spirit has asked that we look beyond what has happened in the past and make an effort for the ones we love if we can do that to a perfectly good stranger in the street why can’t we do this in our relationships.
If you are a person who is witness this behaviour in relationships close to you and can see these breakdowns occurring and feel strong enough, stand up and make it known that it is not okay and that you cannot ignore the situation any longer! If it cannot be brought to the light maybe you making them aware of their behaviour even if you say nothing but just print this newsletter out and ask them to read it. This doesn’t mean you have to meddle in someone’s life but just state the facts and stand up for those who can’t! To explain this Spirit shows me a homeless man that sits on the sidewalk every day, and every day we walk past him and look away because we do not want to deal with the issue and we do not ask ourselves the question of why he is there. Then after passing him so many times you know you cannot ignore him any longer and then one day you stop to help him out with clothing or money or just to see if he is okay.
It is time for people to fight for family first to lay down all our weapons and start a fresh. A time for second chances! Sometimes you may do all of this and things may still not workout and that’s okay. You cannot change anybody you can only change yourself but just by speaking up and stating the facts underneath all the finger pointing that you show that you care enough to speak up at least you tried. In the end it is up to all the people involved to lay down their hurtful weapons and start again. But you will never know if you never give it a go!
So what can we do to stop hurting the one we love? We all have to take responsibility for our own lives and resolving our own emotional hurts from the past. We need to learn how to create a loving presence where we genuinely listen and validate our relationships. We need to learn how to express feelings in ways that bring us closer, not in ways that create more distance and hurt. We may need to understand some of our triggers which cause each other to lash out in hurtful and destructive ways. We need to respect the fact that these are relationships that we love and care about.
We are all on a journey right now of awakening into 2012 and our relationships provide us with a powerful opportunity to see ourselves and our psychological and spiritual lessons more clearly. We can’t hide from ourselves anymore and this is where Spirit asks that we start living our truth. If we expect respect from our relationship we give respect to our relationships. We all need to start living our truth and practice what we preach and this comes in many forms of relationships with family, friends, work colleagues and even the relationship with ourselves. It is not right pretending we are a certain type of person in front of others and when they look away we fall into a heap. It is time to take control of our lives and live the truth of love, respect, gratitude and honesty for everyone to find peace within their heart! With this Oneness the possibilities are endless!
So Listen with your heart, open your eyes and capture the moment for second chances with this energy shift which is in progress can help support this now and positive outcomes are possible if you try!
Now on a lighter note!

JULIE’S INTERVIEW
-Words of Dedication & Commitment
Why did you choose to become a Psychic Medium?
“I guess I felt this was not something I chose but something that chose me! In my book Dancing with Spirit I wrote about how things I couldn’t explain kept happening to me from a young age into adulthood. I could see things that others couldn’t and knew things about people around me and people I had never even met that I couldn’t explain. It felt strange at first when I really realised I was very different to others and what I thought was very normal was not normal for them. After many years and the fear of ridicule growing up I had to eventually trust and open myself up to helping others feel and understand what I could see. People started coming to me asking me questions and asking for guidance about what was happening in their life. Then people started to realise that I could see loved ones who had passed over and that was when I couldn’t fight it anymore people wanted answers and somehow they believed I could be the key to unlock the door to the other side. I started seeing and understanding that everyone has lost someone close to their heart and I understood that people need to know that their loved ones are okay and watching over them. After a few years of helping people to connect I realised this was not just a passion of mine but My Life’s Purpose and something I was meant to share. That’s when professionally I would read for people, teach workshops and write books about this subject. It was important for people to understand at our deepest and darkest we are never alone.”
Why do you give readings and demonstrate live shows etc.?
I feel very honoured to help people find that connection to their loved ones. Sometimes my clients need closure or understanding to what exactly happened on the day they passed and sometimes they just need to know they are okay and they are loved. Whatever it is needed on that day I try to do my best to help my clients understand their messages not just through Readings and Medium Shows but also through my touring with Workshops and my Books. All of these aspects go hand in hand on a broader scale to educate and give people messages from beyond. Spirit and our loved ones want us to be happy and live our life fully with no regret and this is why I love doing this! To me it’s a lifestyle, mastering ourselves and practicing what we preach. I try to teach people to be more positive, loving and understanding to everyone around us. I teach that we must taking responsibility and ownership in our lives.”
“When I do my readings whether it is a Live Medium Show or a Private reading either Face to Face or via the Phone I give my all to help people find the answers or guidance they look for bring clarification and understanding to the situation. I believe whole heartedly that when I do these readings I have my client’s life in my hands and I am working with real people with real emotions and real feelings. That responsibility is overwhelming and I honour them for having the trust and faith within me to open up and share their story. Sometimes in my Private Readings I can see and open up a connection or part of their life story that has been hidden for so long. They share with me their inner most vulnerability that they have and which they have never shared with absolutely anyone ever. Once we identify this issue they then find relief in being able to talk to someone and release their true feelings bringing the situation into the light. I then like to help my client find a support system to help them deal with these issues such as qualified counsellors, doctors and other therapists that may help them with their situation. I feel sometime just helping them to open that initial connection can really help them on a healing path to release the pain and suffering this issue has brought to their life.”
Does everything that comes up in a reading strictly confidential?
“Yes definitely! Whatever is said in my Private Readings are strictly confidential. It is no one’s business but theirs! Even in my shows if I feel something has come up during the show that I feel is too personal I ask that person to see me after the show to bring up those issues and sometimes this can lead to me giving further clarification with the person and arrange a private reading at a time that suits the client”
How does you connect to the other side!
“This is a question I am asked all the time! I guess the best way to describe it is like it’s another language I have had to learn. I suppose just like sign language or charades. Sometimes I hear voices or see images or people who have passed. Other times I may see words written or have a physical feeling or sensation in the body. Overall I use all our 5 senses of Hearing, Sight, Touch, Taste and Smell and I believe the sixth sense is Extrasensory Perception (ESP) or what I call a Knowing! Using a combination of all the senses helps me to understand the messages. I wish connecting with people on the other side was simple as the deceased loved one opening their mouth and telling it just as it is. But it is not that simple it doesn’t work with just one aspect but all of these aspects. Like a person who unable to speak I have to find another way for them to communicate their messages!”
If you are a Psychic Medium Why can’t you win the lotto?
“Well of course I loved too, after all I am human! But unfortunately it doesn’t work like that! I remember when I was a child I would watch the television and call out the lotto numbers as they were falling and this unnerved my Dad a little he would ask how would I know the numbers and I would always reply, “I don’t know. I just know!” It would scare him enough he use to send me off to go and do other things ignoring what had just happened. After a few times of doing this my Dad said to me, “Darling if you could get Daddy the numbers by lunchtime it would help a real lot.” I would always laugh and then say, “It doesn’t work like that Dad!” “Why” he would ask. “I don’t know why, just because!” The funny thing is that is totally correct! If I could predict the lotto numbers I would only be letting in my ego. I explain in length about ego in my book, ‘Dancing with Spirit’ but to explain a long story short imagine a tunnel flowing down and this tunnel contains all the light and energy that is a direct connection from you to the other side giving precise and accurate information all the time and now imagine the ego like a gate that can sometime close when ego is activated and this blocks the flow and closes down the information. This is when the ego takes control and there is no flow the messages are shut down. We are all human and we all have ego so a psychics job to give direct and correct information is to distinguish what is flow and what is not and unfortunately thinking you have the gift that can automatically pick the winning numbers uses the ego so guess what? NO FLOW! We are human and we too also have to learn our life’s lessons just as much as the person next to us. I don’t claim to be perfect and I never will. I just try to do the best I can and trust in my connection to the other side and recognise when there is no flow.”
Are you 100% correct with every reading?
“No one in this world can do something for example a job or a certain skill 100% correct every time, so why would working with the Spirit World be any different. After all we are all human! We all have our good days and bad days and that’s okay! The Spirit world does exist and when you have done thousands of readings for people all over the world the ‘chances’ of guessing right is pretty low and if it was a game of chance I am pretty sure the word would get around quickly enough and these people drop out of this industry pretty fast as they have no credibility. Yes sometimes pressure interferes especially if have to give an answer under pressure such as what coloured undies is a certain person wearing today. Sometimes we get it wrong just the same as if someone was watching over your shoulder at work all the time looking that you have done the perfect job every single time. I laugh when people ask me questions like that. I believe sometimes we just have to have a go and have some fun as we do not have to be so serious all the time! The big thing is to have a go! Sometimes when we do this we can meet amazing people and have a ball of fun!”
What do you say to Sceptics?
“As for sceptics I love them and think they play an important part of balance in our industry. They are like the investigators that search and weed the people who may be taking advantage of people for that thing called ‘money’. All I say that it is important that the sceptic finds out the truth and realises that being a Psychic or a Medium is not about being 100% correct on everything all the time. But looks at the truth and assess the integrity and the honesty of each Psychic or Medium and understand how they go about their process before making a judgement. The sceptic should look for a pattern that the Psychic or Medium might actually have some insight or knowledge that doesn’t come from books and science and sometime can’t be explained or if they are simply as I like to say ‘Not cutting the mustard’. It is also their job to be fair and assess the factors and not to march out on a search and destroy mission. To quote a wonderful and funny man who is a professional sceptic, Richard Saunders (Judge on the Channel Seven series of ‘THE ONE’) “It’s not up to me to prove a Psychic does not have powers, but is up to the Psychic to prove they do!” Simply enough some things cannot be explained and sometimes we have to agree to disagree as the debate can go on and on. I believe Psychics and Sceptics can work together with each other to find a balance and we could research, explore and discover the secrets of this subject. However we all Psychics and Sceptics need to respects people’s rights to have an opinion on a human and dignitary level. So let me ask you this? “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” This is a philosophical thought that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. Not everything can be explained. Not everything is set in concrete therefore there is still so much to learn! I believe it is important that we as Psychics and Mediums really have to trust in what we do and be responsible and respectful along the way. So remember life’s a journey so enjoy it live it in the good times and the bad if you stand up believe in yourself anything is possible!”
Why is it important to give feedback to a Psychic or a Medium?
I believe in a reading it is important to sometimes where applicable answer the questions some Psychics or Mediums may have when they do their reading. When I do my audience readings I like for them not to give me too much as I like to just trust on what I am receiving however sometimes as a Psychic or a Medium we may get stuck with something we can’t figure out such as a loved one who a have identified as someone’s father and I see the colour green around him and the number 835. To me this makes no sense as I can’t quite figure out this part of the language or what this symbolizes. The father shows me over and over again until it drives me nuts and I the person why I keep seeing your father and the colour green and the number 835. The person then reacts with joy and says his Ute was green and the 835 was part of his number plate. The person then tells me this was the sign I asked my father to bring through from the other side to know it was definitely him. Instead of me taking up so much time trying to understand what he clearly wanted me to tell this person. They answered the question and we got even more details and moved faster through the reader. And for people who like a good bargain, time is money and when an appointment is only so long you can help the Psychic or Medium by confirming so they can travel through the reading giving you as much information as possible. However you must make sure you don’t offer up too much as I know I still like to figure it out myself. Sometimes readings can run like clockwork to time and sometimes readings run overtime. I find I like to make sure that my reading finishes when all the questions are answered and the client is satisfied.
How often should I have a reading?
You should definitely not consult a Psychic or a Medium every week as this is not a healthy situation as the individual starts giving up the right to make their own decisions. However having a reading every six months if you feel like it is great. Most people only have one reading in a lifetime and some like to have a little guidance once a year. Another time to have a reading is if you gone through a loss and need to know that a loved one that has passed over is okay. Whatever the reason always make sure you are not dependant and run your life according to a Psychic or Medium and if you feel you need that guidance each week maybe seek advice from a counsellor or a professional in their field. When people say they pay too much for a reading I explain that this is not a weekly cost but something you pay for every now and again. Most good Psychics or Medium have in place a way to give back sometimes with no costs to the clients. I myself give away a free reading per month and quite often have draws giving away free copies of my books and even ticket to my Live Events. I also like to give my help to people when they are going through a tough time or when they have lost someone suddenly. Quite often I give people a little crystal angel or heart just to help them further on their journey.
Thank You Everyone I hope you enjoyed the Newsletter…..
Until next time
