Are Your Loved Ones Sending You Signs?

Have you ever felt as if someone who has passed away was trying to reach out to you? Have you noticed any unusual signs? Maybe you suddenly caught a whiff of their favorite perfume? Or maybe a song you associate with them started playing when you were thinking of them.

Though these moments may seem insignificant or random, they could actually be signs from beyond. Yes, really. The people we love who have passed away are still with us. They’re energetically around us more than we realize, watching over us and cheering us on.

Sometimes they try to send us reassuring messages, but we don’t always pay attention. Life can get hectic. It’s easy to miss these signs when we’re busy with our daily routines.

But the signs are still there. We just need to slow down, take a breath, and open our hearts to noticing them.

Not everyone sends the same kind of sign, and not every spirit communicates in the same way. Some loved ones are very obvious. They might move items like coins or feathers for you to find, flicker lights, or send a butterfly or dragonfly right into your path.

Other signs might be more subtle. They might cue up a meaningful song for the two of you or make the number 11:11 appear repeatedly until you finally say, “Wait a minute…what’s up with that?”

These are all ways they’re saying, “Hey! I’m here. I’m okay. I see you. Are you okay? No need to worry; you’ll be just fine. I’m looking out for you.”

If you’re wondering if you can talk back to them, the answer is yes. You absolutely can. You don’t need a fancy ritual or special training to communicate with the other side. It starts with intention.

You can try it at home whenever you feel called to do so. Find a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. You could light a candle or hold a crystal that feels good in your hand. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and start talking. Out loud or in your head, it doesn’t matter. Just speak from your heart.

You could say, “Mom, are you around? Do you have any messages for me?” Then, wait. See how you feel. Maybe a wave of emotion will come over you. Maybe a random image will pop into your mind’s eye. Maybe you suddenly hear a voice or get a sense of knowing. That’s them.

If you receive a sign, feeling, or even a single word, respond. Talk back. See if you feel or hear more. This is how a conversation can begin. Sometimes it flows easily, and sometimes it takes practice. Don’t worry if nothing happens right away. Just showing up and being open is a big step.

If you’re very spiritual or intuitive, you might take it further. You could try connecting more deeply by asking to see hear your loved one’s voice or meet up with them in a dream. Just make sure you feel safe and comfortable. You never have to push beyond what feels right.

The beautiful thing is that our loved ones on the other side really do want to connect. They’re just as eager to communicate as we are to hear from them. Sometimes they have something important to say, such as a warning or a piece of guidance. Sometimes they just want to send a simple message of love and comfort.

If they can’t get through to you, they might try someone else in your family. That’s why it’s important to stay open and pay attention to what others are saying too. A message meant for you may come through a sibling, friend, or even a stranger.

So, here’s a little reminder: Slow down. Look around. Pay attention to what keeps showing up in your life. Most of the time signs from the spirit world don’t ‘hit you over the head.’ Often they’re just soft, gentle nudges.

Your spirit guides can help with this, too. They’re your spiritual helpers system who want to help you live your best life. However, if you’re too distracted or disconnected, you might miss their messages. Missed signs can lead to missed opportunities and prevent you from moving forward when you’re meant to.

That’s why being spiritually open and present matters. You don’t have to be a psychic medium and a channeler. Just be willing to pause, reflect, and ask for guidance. Say, “Universe, show me what I need to know.” Or say, “Loved ones, if you’re around, I’m listening.”

The universe is always on your side. Spirit is always cheering you on. Those little whispers, nudges, and signs might be leading you toward healing or clarity. They might be leading you toward healing or clarity, or simply reminding you that you’re never alone.

So, the next time a penny shows up out of nowhere, a song makes you cry for no reason, or a butterfly lands on your hand, Smile. Say hello. Someone on the other side might just be saying hello back. Keep your heart open. The messages are there. All you have to do is notice them.
