Biography
Julia Marie was just like you: driven and goal-oriented with a plan for her life. A series of Spiritually Transformative Events (STEs) changed everything.
More than three decades later, she is ready to share what she’s learned so that you can benefit from her hard-earned insight and accelerate your spiritual growth.
She tells the story of her awakening and how she learned to live guided by the Voice within in her book Signals from My Soul: A Spiritual Memoir of Awakening.
Julia Marie is a gifted trans-dimensional healer, intuitive medium, and experienced spiritual teacher. She founded the Academy for the Intuitive Arts in 1997, and the courses and coaching help sensitive women and men as they take the next step in unlocking their Spiritual potential.
She provides spiritual consultations to a global clientele, and looks forward to bringing her grounded, practical approach to spirituality.
About Julia Marie
Julia Marie has over three decades’ worth of stories and interactions with the Unseen World, and the time has come to share what she’s learned.
Julia speaks confidently on topics as diverse as: Past lives and past life regression, Mediums and mediumship, Intuition and intuitive development, Energy healing, Spirit guides and practical ways to integrate more Spirit into your life. (A list of training and experience is below)
Her mission is to help sensitive seekers understand that we are all wired the same, and that the Teacher lives within each of us.
Everything she shares she learned through direct experience, and she wants people to know they have the same capacity to access the Field as she does, they simply need to learn how their unique connection works.
It’s possible to survive, even thrive after a spiritual awakening and that one can have their spiritual path and live a 3D life. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
Her book Signals from My Soul: A Spiritual Memoir of Awakening details her journey from the series of STEs that changed her life to the high points of the next three decades. She tells the stories from the POV of her consciousness at the time she had the experience, and adds her current understanding of those events from the place of hindsight and an expanded awareness of how the Unseen Realm works. This approach provides the reader with actionable suggestions and encouragement on their personal journey of Soul discovery.

The raw unedited YouTube transcription of this podcast:
Bess welcome this is Josh of integrating presence and today I have Julia Marie
with me Julia how’s it going today pretty good actually I’m celebrating a
personal Victory but yay that’s cool we’ll we’ll get to that towards the end
specifically no problem and the standard format here is if I don’t know the
person well enough I throw it back to them uh to introduce themselves so who
is Julie Marie and what does she do well she’s uh an intuitive medium who
is a mentor and a teacher and my greatest joy is helping people discover
how their unique connection to the universe works that gives me the
greatest joy yes I offer readings and consultations and all of that good stuff
I’m an energy healer but primarily I’m a mentor and a teacher with 30 plus years
experience very cool and it it does go pretty deep and I I kept this as a maybe
kind of a surprise we’ll see here um uh back before the
lockdowns um or whatever you want to call them the K situation um I joined I signed up for
one of U Julia’s classes and um in St Louis will just say
that I don’t want to give away too much but it turned out that um I signed up for like a um just a a little tiny one-
day little few hour workshop and she agreed to take me on if I signed up for the full training um because usually
there’s a prerequisite of a full training course and so I went ahead and did that and signed up for it and and
then I was able to take the the that course with her and I was pretty impressed the ex exercises we went
through in the training I got right then and there and I won’t give give away any specifics um and then it turned out that
kov happened in the and uh we couldn’t do it in person anymore and I think if I’m remembering right my choice was just
to forego it and so now I’m no longer really in the St Louis area but I just
want to know that we have had um some slight interaction and it seems like ages ago
now but um I’m sorry I don’t remember that’s okay yeah it was um you know the
the place where you give readings in in St Louis I’m not in St Louis either yeah
okay but back then yeah no it’s it’s it’s it’s wild how um yeah things happen
and and are forgetting sometimes and or you know maybe I I’m mistaken or
something but anyway it was just a short just like a couple hours or maybe not even an hour that class there I used to
do do those kind of introductory things and I will tell you this a lot of times the reason why I don’t remember people
that I come in contact with especially if I’m teaching or doing readings is I’m in an altered
state so I’m on the right side of my brain so often times it will take three
or four times of me meeting you in person for me to for it to actually stick so I don’t apologize for that
anymore but what you know what I appreciate that I did a good job for you
well I yes that’s what and this goes to my my fiance who um I would say does
similar type work and sometimes the information just comes in and then it’s it’s it’s whatever it’s needed for the
moment and then it just you know it’s gone you know um pretty much some of this stuff depending on what it is so
yeah well I guess where I want to take this today is I would like to maybe talk about Awakening um and being a catalyst
for change as well um first I think we should start at the beginning here what
does Awakening uh mean to you or how would you define Awakening what does that
mean um I will say that for me in its purest form Awakening would mean a shift
in one’s level of Consciousness and more accurately it’s
more of an expansion of one’s awareness of what is already existing around
us so that’s how I would Define Awakening I’m moving from one state of
perception to another state of perception and usually that state is
more expansive than where I was previously beautiful now it might make
sense to share something from experience around this what what would be appropriate to kind of maybe um color
flavor this or give an example of um in your own experience or maybe with
clients or just in general in uh the world well my life was totally changed
through my own personal Awakening experience I was active duty military
had just finished getting a law degree had a certain plan for my life I was very
caterpillar oriented at that time in other words I was focused on the material world and my goals and all of
that stuff and then the universe came knocking and I had a series of what are
now called spiritually transformative experiences they didn’t have a name at
the time so I just thought I was losing my mind going crazy because now I’m
having round red circles appear on my body where I later found the chakras were spontaneous activation of healing
energy and seeing and hearing people that were invisible to me but I was aware of them showing up in my living
room having conversations with me so that’s what my Awakening experience was
like in the moment now I can look back and see I had a sense of that coming
like there was a Leading Edge to it that I was not conscious of in other words there were
intermittent times when I’d have these Sparks of awareness but I thought it was
just me being really clever or perceptive I didn’t realize it was
actually my intuition so that’s I would say Awakening process
it doesn’t have to change your life in that radical way for a lot of people it
is slow and gentle my own personal process it needed to be how it was
because I obviously wasn’t paying attention nor was I responding to the signals my soul was giving me so uh a
little bit more emphasis was needed to bring me around to snap me out of
my hypnotic state of Slumber or whatever you analogy you’d like to
use yeah and in my experience I’ve talked about what I call or what I’ve heard called Dark Awakenings too where
it’s not just all love and light uh to begin with and it’s actually quite some of the things were actually kind
frightening um and troubling and then but I felt a lot of it had to do with my
own regress State at the time leading up to that not that yeah so so I I um
that’s maybe what I would say around that now well I wouldn’t I wouldn’t call I want to be clear I would not call my
experience a dark Awakening I would definitely not put it in that category I
would say it was terrifying and frightening because it was so unknown to me but all all everything that I
experienced was supportive was helpful and was encouraging even though some of the
Visions scared me but I wouldn’t call it a dark Awakening so I just want to be
clear about that very good I’m I’m I’m glad we we got that sorted uh um now the
other thing that comes up that I’m also fascinating is I’m fascinated by and is discernment
um so have you ever had beings coming to you cloaked meaning they appear as
something they’re not and you later find out that there’s an overlay of um
they’re they’re cloaking themselves to to appear uh not their true appearance
or you know maybe they can um choose whatever form they’d like and maybe they
don’t always appear the way they’re appearing um to to other beings or the
way they represent themselves other times do you know what I’m getting at here I do understand the importance of
discernment and I feel like that is a skill or an attribute that we should all
always employ we should always be Discerning about what it is we’re engaging with be it in the Physical
Realm or any other plane however I have not personally had an experience of something coming to me
looking like it’s light and then I find out later it’s not
but I am a believer in sympathetic resonance and
entrainment and in the power of intention so I’ve always said the same
thing but I choose to interact with certain frequencies that’s what I invite
into my field I don’t invite anything other than that into my field have I had challenges
where I’ve picked up some writers or something along the way
yes you notice the change in your energy field and you address
that but if I am going to engage with that which is not seen and I’m coming
from a place of fear I’m lowering my vibration now is that going to enhance
my experience or not like attracts light so if if I am
intentionally choosing using to only access the highest light frequencies
that I am able to at this time then that’s what I’m going to receive because the universe is
responsive ask and you shall receive now again discernment is
important so I am not going to just willy-nilly
uh hand over my understanding of an experience
to someone else’s perception I guess would be the best way to put
it this is this is helpful yeah um the the other thing that comes to mind is
the astral realm or what some people call the astral realm um do you see um
how would you uh have people um when they’re when they’re um dealing with
this realm how to to interact in it or would you see even a lot of the the
interactions you have uh involved with this realm and then how would you um go beyond it or outside of it or or uh what
else exists outside the Astro when we’re talking about these um these spiritual
experiences I’ll be honest I am not uh
familiar with what people call the astral realm per se I know that when I
work for for example when I’m doing mediumship I know that I have to pass
through that level to get to where I can communicate with people that are crossed over I know I pass through it but I’m
not aware of it when that happens because my target is somewhere else so I go to my Target and
I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to anything between me and that Target if that makes any sense it does because my
understanding of the astral is mostly distortions so yeah yeah so if my
intention is to move to the other side of that then that’s where I’m
going beautiful that’s been my experience anyway very cool um and then
before we get into the kind of the change thing here what would you um tell people about that are interested in
doing this well either uh work coming to you as um to to work with you to have
them uh get a reading from you um How would would they prepare for something like that what should do they need to do
anything to prepare for that and also if people would want to train with you um what are some kind of like homework or
prerequisites you’d recommend for people um and then maybe even kind of an
overview of particular things that that that people could come to you for whe to
to to um sample your skills I guess I put it and then also to if they want to
train you know what would may be learning you know and how okay so my
perspective is everybody’s wired the same so all I’m doing is helping people
understand how their already natural connection works most of the time we’re receiving
information but we’re not aware of it so all I do is help you become aware become
more aware of the signal that you receive the best whatever Channel works
best for you and then you work from there so I would say as far as training
goes I am working on putting my intuitive development course in an
OnDemand format online so people could just go do that because that gives them
the basics of what’s intuition how does it work how do you identify all that fundamental
stuff and then from there they can then come and do
practice they could practice using their skill set it’s not about teaching you to be a reader it’s about teaching you how to
function with all 10 of your senses instead of just five of them because for
every physical sense you have a metaphysical match and most of us are
operating only with the five physical senses and occasionally we’ll get a hit in our gut or something like that but
we’re not utilizing everything we’ve been given as a human being to utilize
as a way to move in the world so we’re walking around half half I don’t want to say half human
but half half embodied maybe we’ll we’ll put it that way so they can do the
online training um I do the only prerequisite I have is that if a person
wants to learn to do spirit communication they have to go through the intuitive class first and they have
to have a real they have to be really comfortable with how they’re their Equipment Works before they come
to the mediumship if they’re looking to communicate on behalf of other people
for in a reading format if a person just wants to learn how their loved ones
reach out to them from the other side that’s another separate experience that they can have that’s more along the line
of here’s what to look for so there’s smaller units there’s a class on how to
work with your Spirit guides there’s a re restorative energy technique fifth
dimensional thing whatever that was that was activated in me I am now attuning
other people to and it’s actually producing some pretty wonderful
results but it gives people the power they already have all I’m doing is
helping you find your own Potential from
the inside out so readings wise if you choose to have a reading
it’s good for you to come to me with what it is you’re looking for not that I can’t give you well what
the spirit have to say but then I may speak to something that you couldn’t
care less about if you come come prepared with the
the subject areas you want to address is what I would say this spirit
communication is self-explanatory your loved ones will show up for you every single
time all right so let’s go into now um being a catalyst because what you talked
about your role and your um trainings you’re offering um offerings um being a
being a catalyst in the world um or yeah or or on the however we want to put it
what would you say about um being a catalyst well it took me a while in my
spiritual journey to realize that the radical response people
had to me was because I was a catalyst so I know that’s my function I didn’t
know it in the beginning because people either were magnetized towards me they would say there’s something about your
presence I’m going okay or they would run because there’s something
about your presence and I used to take it personally and it took me a while to
realize people would come back to me and start telling me stories about how things in their life seem to
accelerate or things opened up or stuff started happening and I
realized oh so that’s probably one of the reasons I’m here is to catalyze
people so I actually looked up what a catalyst is somebody that stirs things
up yeah that’s it’s it’s beautiful too I’ve noticed in my experience uh maybe not quite as much anymore that sometimes
just my presence alone uh things I can say will bring up things and people uh
sometimes that they’re not ready to um deal with and ALS or they don’t have the
tools to deal with even if they they wanted to to bring it uh have it brought up and work with or you know maybe they
they do but it it not the most Pleasant thing and so yeah it is kind of can be
in my experience and notice it’s almost like an accelerator for something and and I’m still learning on how to go
about you know tuning in more being more mindful of when this is could be helpful for someone and when it’s it can
actually be uh damaging um it seems like you you’ve got a pretty good handle on
how this works you know and and how to how to do it I think I’m still feeling my way out on this although it is better
than it once was yeah well I’ll give you I’ll give you this please little tidbit
mhm when you receive information when you get a download when you’re around somebody especially somebody new the
first question I always ask is this information for me or for them yeah
because a lot of times what you’re receiving is for you to be able to help that person more it’s not necessarily to
say blah blah blah so always ask is this for me or is this for
them that’s beautiful thank you yeah some things I have to just um watch
what I say as well just in general even if it’s uh you know if you can kind of
intuitively see into how someone is and how they’re behaving and then you know
uh sometimes I could say well if I just said this one thing you know maybe it might spark um something you know an
Awakening but it oftentimes I found it’s not necessarily or just how I say it is
just as important if not more important than what I’m saying so yeah and then and then knowing
what is what because with empathic ability sometimes it’s hard to discern whether you know where I start and end
and where the other person starts and ends and who who’s is what and what is
who and this type of thing too yeah but the thing I will tell you is there have
been many times where I’ve known I’ve known for a fact I was put in somebody’s
path because I have pieces of their puzzle for them and I’ve walked away still holding
those pieces because they did
not either ask the question or send out the vibe that says here are your
pieces well well you know we’re both semi-public uh figures here I well I might as well use
that as a cue for U to see if you’re holding any of my pieces or if anything
wants to come through around this or the audience in general or if there’s
anything if that’s okay to ask um I feel like what I’ll say for you
is what’s coming to me to say to you is that you you’re right at the cust of
something and it’s important for you it’s almost like you can either fall
back and go back down this slide it’s like I’m seeing this really steep triangle and you’re sitting right on the
top and you can either go back or keep balancing just for a little bit
more just a little bit longer and you’ll be able to move in the direction that you’ve been wanting to go for some time
it feels like would you do you understand that yes and uh yes that’s
that’s I don’t need to go into details right now but I least tell me sure
exactly yeah at least in one area of my life for sure yeah yeah well cool all right then back to the um the the
Catalyst here uh and change um what about you know change in the world uh at
large you know not just um on on a personal IND individual
level like we’ve been talking but like um is it possible to make a well of
course it is right but for people who just have this little me syndrome right
where they think oh I’m you know I could never do anything or I’m not you know I’m not good enough I can only be as
good as they um I mean not necessarily people still caught in that inferiority
conceit but it just anybody that even has a degree of self-confidence um and wants to help and
contribute uh to Greater change first off is that something uh worth pursuing
uh how practical is that and then are there any um maybe steps or guidelines
for folks who want to contribute on uh greater levels to the service service of
others yeah and change in the world in in in general you know uh because I know
there’s with me I have a tendency I mean it’s it’s safe and easy
to to to not get involved because at least then I’m not creating more distortions and you know um um
potentially messing up but then if I can contribute and I’m holding back that’s the other end of that coin
so if I were to say one thing to everybody out there every single soul on this
planet right now is here for a reason and you have a purpose and your contribution doesn’t
have to look big it doesn’t have to be large scale I get it all the time in my
classes what can I do there’s so much going on what can I do I’m just one person you can do your best to raise the
frequency at which you vibrate on a daily basis and as you monitor where you’re
vibrating or resonating know that that resonance goes out and impacts the
people around you so if you’re walking through your day radiating kindness or
compassion you’re making a huge difference in the world without having
to say a word if you want to make a bigger difference then gather with a small
group of like-minded people and broadcast
peace it it none of us knows the when or
the what that’s going to trigger our expansion I would say to everyone who
thinks the the collective Awakening is tomorrow uh be
patient many of us that are listening to this podcast right now are not going to
be living when that finally happens we still have a long way to go
but remember that you’re here for a reason and there are other people that are also here for that same purpose none
of us are alone beautiful yeah now as far as that General Awakening um is it
goes you know are there anything we can do to contribute to that because some
people it seems they don’t want to awaken they just want to stay in a comfort zone right and um not
really um do anything other than you know um whatever they need to be in
their comfort zone more instead of less and now I get it some people are so stressed out it actually helps them to
be more in a comfort zone and Awakening doesn’t necessarily
um you know is some Awakening not all the time
as far as I feel it’s synonymous with exiting a comfort zone um however
so what can uh folks do if they’re called to um contribute to more of a a
mass Awakening on the planet well first I would say just like
I tell everyone when I do a group presentation I am not here to convert or
convince I’m here to share with you my perspective so hold that in your mindset
you it’s when you become aware of more
than you were aware of before that does not mean you have to go around and
convince everybody in your environment this is the new best
thing they will they will shift or they will fall away based on the resonating
field that you create with your awareness be the
frequency and that frequency will do the work you don’t have have to say anything
you’ll find people that may be in your friend Circle that start to get drawn to you and want to talk to you about this
stuff but they don’t know why that’s your opportunity to say what’s going on in your world so one person at a
time that’s beautiful and it’s a good reminder to where I was um trying to go
and you know talk to people that weren’t interested or are ready even and it is
ended up causing more harm than good for a while so I like this this advice this
this wisdom you offer and share here and so that leads me to the next thing is uh people want to kind of continue on their
Awakening Journey are there um what types of exercises and material uh what
would you recommend for folks to um continue on their Awakening or maybe
accelerate or how how should we look at that you know um uh encouragement
support um progression forward on this you know
balance as well the first thing I would say is if you give the universe five minutes a
day five minutes a day not even 15 you don’t have to go sit in meditation for
hours five minutes a day in a quiet
place same place same time five minutes a day all you do is focus on your
breathing focus on your breath in and out do those what find of some breath
work formula that works for you that calms your mind and I’ve only ever asked Spirit two
questions what do I need to do next and what do I need to know because that’s the only thing that
matters that’s the only two questions I’ve asked for 30 years so sit and ask what do I need to know
and wait for a response because the universe is responsive the field is
responsive you are now intending to engage in a conversation with the greater
intelligence of which you are a part you’re saying okay I’d like to come online so what do I need to know and
then wait for the field to respond to you and know that the more you do that
the more the connection is built the wiring is set in place place and pretty soon your stream of Consciousness all
the time it’s like a streaming service with no interruptions literally you will eventually come to a place where that
aspect of your being is all the time running in the background you don’t have to strain to connect with it because
youve you’ve built the connection that’s beautiful second thing would be walk
through your world and pay attention pay attention let’s say you’re
driving and you’ve driven down this neighborhood well maybe start paying attention to the houses and notice the
things that you have never seen before you’re you’re going to be shocked because your human mind fills in the
blanks so most of us go through life not even realizing what we’re walking
through or being in so those would be the two things sit for five minutes and pay attention every day and treat treat
it as an experiment you’re collecting data it’s not about being right or wrong
you want to find out how your connection works so be curious beautiful and I couldn’t agree
more with this stuff uh you know early on in my meditation practice uh I I
would I would ask these questions and then part of the process for me was getting comfortable not knowing as well
or when the answers didn’t come and I got frustrated so how am I with that and
then sometimes I would get answers and it would be you know somewhat satisfying it would only give part of the part of
the answer and a lot of times it it it led to more questions but then I was I was okay with that and a lot of times
I’m okay with just asking the question not demanding an answer or needing an answer if it’s needed it will come if
it’s not or I’m not ready well then that’s okay you know the I was just engaging and curious like you’re saying
by asking the questions you know internally of course and yeah I love this thing about paying attention too
because um just gave a brief talk the other day uh uh that I heard somebody
else say about participating fully you know how can we be more mindful in more
chaotic situations where we don’t have the time to be present and mindful you
know in the way we might think about it but if we engage fully fully participate
in whatever we’re doing then yeah that’s helpful too and yeah there’s so many detail and so much more going on if we
just slow down and have the intention to be more fully present in order to notice
more and get a broader experience from what’s always there all the time yeah as long as we don’t get overwhelmed by it
sometimes that happen too you know yeah all right well this has been a fascinating and lovely um conver
conversation um would would you like to tell people where they can find you
online um uh uh any events or trainings that you might have coming up other than
you mentioned uh your books uh how people can work with you any of the any
of the stuff anywhere else you want to draw people’s attention to and then what message would you like to leave the audience
with so where they can find me is juliam marie. us really simple if they want to
hear samples of my podcast it’s evolving humans

story of an ordinary woman’s extraordinary experience of Awakening I share not only my story but I give you
principles that they gave me to live my life by and suggestions throughout the
book that will help you live a more aware life so it’s actually
you get a twofer you’re also getting some practical things that you can do and apply and think about um as far as
trainings coming up February I’m going to be doing an Altered States Workshop so that’s four weeks
