FAQs
How Does an Akashic Reading Work?
An Akashic Records Reading is unlike other readings that may involve spirit guides, angels or the types of readings that come from “traditional” psychics or mediums. This information, which interesting, can be subjective and is not from the Akashic Records. There is nothing wrong with these readings they are just different.
Once we are on the phone together and I have your full legal name, I will open your Akashic Record with a sacred prayer, some of which will be out loud and some of which will be silent. While I am silent, please take this moment to focus on what specifically you need clarity or guidance with.
I then generally receive some initial impressions of what may be going on with you. I most commonly perceive my information as a clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient, and claircognizant. Which means I see images, hear information, feel sensations and have a sense of knowing. These can happen independently or simultaneously. It can often sound like I’m translating for someone else…I guess I sort of am. I am actually consciously tuning into your Records and this is where I access energy and information that I pass on to you.
Sometimes the information doesn’t quite make sense until the end of the reading or even later still. It can be symbolic in nature at times and is not always meant to be literal.

I so enjoyed my Akashic Records Reading, and being able to have the recording has been wonderful, I refer back to it often. I refer back to the message I was given too. It was perfect for me to hear at this time. At one point, a comment I was given was so purely me, no one else would have received it, I’m sure. It was funny, and I knew I was truly getting a message from some helpful beings that loved me.

It is often validating. So while you may have heard some of the information “before” or felt like “I knew this” it is coming through from a higher vibratory source and has a different feel and impact. You will allow it into your system differently and use it differently from then on.
You will only receive the information you are ready for. Asking questions is one of the keys that unlocks the vault of information and while this is absolutely about your soul’s journey asking “what am I here to do?” may be too broad and deep a question for you to receive an answer to in a single call. A more effective way to ask this question might be:
- I’ve been thinking of a career change into the field of “x” or “y” and wonder which will be better and why?
- What do I need to focus on over the next year in the area of “a” “b” “c” or “d”?
Please know that the Records offer conversation and an evolving relationship and you will often receive more than just a simple response.

Thank you so much again, Julie. I so enjoyed my reading and see where I need to go. Bless you!

You can also ask about certain relationships, past lives and how to change disempowering familial patterns. This may be important to solving current issues and problems.
I can also open records for your pets, crystals, homes and certain public areas, among other types of non-human readings as long as I have permission. They do feel different than a “human” Reading though so please allow for this.
What’s the Difference Between a 30 Minute Reading and a 55 Minute Reading?
A 30 minute Reading can actually provide quite a lot of information. The 30 minute Reading is great for clarification and guidance on a specific issue, such as a specific relationship, career, business or financial decision. A 55 minute Reading is suggested when we identify a long standing issue or pattern and want to gain clarity and healing. During the Reading we will identify whether the issue has originated from a past life or from your ancestral line. From there we gain insight and provide healing as you gain detailed information and understanding.
Because I am a professional coach, all Readings, regardless of length may include laser coaching during or at the conclusion.
How Do I Schedule My Call?
To obtain an appointment for your 30 or 55 minute Reading, please select the appropriate link to pay for your Reading and schedule your appointment. You will be able to book your own appointment during the days and hours I conduct Readings and you will also receive a reminder just before your call.
Once you have paid and booked your call, you will then receive an email with a link to connect with me via Zoom, at the scheduled time of your Reading. I will ask you if you would like your call recorded and if so, I will then start the recording. If you prefer NOT to have your Reading recorded please advise me at the start of your call with me. Within 48 hours of your call you will receive a link where you can listen to your recording.
In order for you to receive the best Reading possible I will need your legal name as it appears on your driver’s license or tax forms (not your birth record), which I ask you to provide to me on the call.
Recordings
A link to listen to your recording will be emailed to you within 48 hours of your call so you can download your Reading and listen to this valuable information over and over. There is no additional charge for this service.
Cancellation Policy
I understand emergencies may arise. However, cancellations must be made via email to change@spiritstudies.com at least 24 hours in advance of your call so a new date for your Reading can be scheduled.
At the time of your Reading if you have not successfully called in and connected with me, I will use my best efforts to reach you at the telephone number you have provided. If I am unable to connect with you within 10 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, your appointment will be considered cancelled and is NOT eligible for a refund of any kind. You may however, request a one-time option to reschedule your Reading. Out of respect for everyone’s time this rule will be strictly enforced.
Payment Policy
Please note that all amounts paid will appear on your credit/debit statement as being provided by Julie Hawkins. All amounts are completely non-refundable except as outlined below.
Agreement for Readings
When you meet me on the call for your Reading you are agreeing that you understand this call is solely for your personal growth, education and information. This call is not considered a therapeutic activity, such as psychotherapy or counseling and is not intended as such. You agree and understand that if you feel uncomfortable or find the session offensive in any way you my terminate the session at any time and if you do so within the first 15 minutes you may obtain a full refund. After that there are no refunds.
The Best Questions
The best questions are open-ended and begin with “why,” “what,” or “how.” Most “yes” or “no” questions are not as helpful as open-ended questions because in the eyes of the Records it is understood that you will achieve the lessons you need whether you do or don’t do something or you choose to do it now or later. Asking questions such as “when will this happen” is human nature. I’ve been blessed with often being able to provide an approximate date or block of time, such as “in 6 months.” I do not receive specific dates.
I may at times ask you questions to dig down to the most important aspect to be covered in the Reading. This is common and often very helpful.
The most important thing to remember is: The more specific your question, the more specific a response you will receive.
Here are some suggestions:
- Which is the better job or career for me, “a” or “b”?
- What am I meant to learn from this situation?
- My relationship with __________ is difficult and strained and I’d like some clarity about what happened to make it this way?
- What can I do to change it?
- Why does ___________ seem to be a repetitive pattern in my life? How can I heal it?
- How can I become more financially solid?
- What steps can I take in this process?
- I have a health concern about ______________. How can I improve my health problem or what would be the next best step towards improved health?
If these questions are not enough to get you started, bring a specific problem or issue to the call. Just tell me about it once we open your records and your Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones will respond.
In Conclusion
Perhaps you can see from the client stories why I love this work so much. I consider it a true honor to read from someone’s Records. I can’t wait to get started with you and look forward to our time together.
From my heart to yours,
Julie
