What Really Happens When We Die? | Psychic Medium Julie Ryan Reveals the 12 Phases of Dying
In episode 498 of Soul Elevation, I sit down with the extraordinary Julie Ryan to explore what it really means to learn psychic abilities. Julie is a psychic medium and medical intuitive who proves that these gifts are not limited to a chosen few. She developed them intentionally, and now she teaches others to do the same.
Julie’s story is remarkable. She began as a successful inventor and businesswoman in the medical field before a spark of curiosity led her to study energy healing and intuitive development. Over time she discovered that psychic skills can be cultivated like any other ability when we understand how spirit communicates with us individually.
The Journey from Logic to Intuition
Julie’s transformation started when she was introduced to the concept of medical intuition through the work of Carolyn Myss and Barbara Brennan. What began as curiosity grew into years of training and practice. Eventually Julie learned to scan the body energetically, identify imbalances, and facilitate healing on physical and spiritual levels.
She emphasizes that psychic perception is available to everyone. Spirit speaks in the language that’s easiest for us to understand—whether it’s visual, auditory, or felt in the body. When we start paying attention to our inner signals and trust our imagination, we naturally open the channels for higher guidance.
The Buffet of Psychicness
Julie calls her range of abilities “the buffet of psychicness.” She communicates with spirits, reads energy fields, connects with animals, accesses past lives, and helps others understand how spirit works through them. In our conversation she describes how she can turn her intuitive abilities on and off in a moment, demonstrating that psychic communication is a skill that can be practiced deliberately rather than something mystical or random.
She also explains that the key is raising your vibration. Spirit operates on high frequencies of love and light. When we feel good, peaceful, or inspired, we are more receptive to those subtle messages. Julie shares how anyone can start connecting to spirit simply by quieting the mind, asking for guidance, and listening to the first message that comes through—it’s usually the right one. More here:
The Power of Angelic Assistance
Julie is the author of Angelic Attendance: What Really Happens When We Transition from This Life into the Next, where she reveals what she calls The Twelve Phases of Transition. During our talk she touches on how angels and loved ones appear to guide us through death and into the afterlife. It’s comforting, eye-opening information that removes fear and brings peace about what lies beyond the physical.
My Reflections
Speaking with Julie was such a joy. Her grounded, compassionate approach shows that psychic awareness isn’t about being special—it’s about remembering what’s natural. I left the conversation inspired to keep deepening my own intuitive connection and to help others trust the divine intelligence that flows through all of us.
If you’ve ever felt curious about developing your intuitive or healing gifts, Julie’s teachings are a beautiful place to begin.
