Spirit Messages Through Signs And Synchronicities
Many people go through life without ever realizing that their spirit guides, ancestors, and deceased loved ones are communicating with them on a regular basis. Spirit is constantly reaching out to us from the other side, but it requires the recipient to be spiritually aware and attentive in their daily life.
The most powerful and easiest way to receive messages and guidance from spirit is to get a psychic or mediumship reading from a reputable psychic or medium.
The next best way to receive messages from spirit is through our dreams, especially visitation dreams in which we interact or have conversations with loved ones. We are most open to spirit communication when we are in the dream state.
Of course, some people are naturally more open to receiving messages from spirit, but anyone can increase their psychic awareness and become more attuned to spirit communication.
The first important step is to adopt a daily spiritual practice that raises your vibration and increases your awareness, such as meditation, prayer, divination, journaling, dreamwork, breathwork, chanting, ceremonies, or rituals.
The next step is to become more aware of signs and synchronicities in daily life. Signs from the spirit realm can include visual apparitions; smells (perfume, cigarette smoke); animals, insects, and other natural phenomena (birds, butterflies, ladybugs, rainbows); objects (coins, feathers); repeating numbers, words or thoughts; specific songs or music; or electrical activity (dimming lights, turning appliances on and off).
Two White Butterflies From Spirit
We receive many signs from spirit, sometimes without realizing it. Most often these signs are from our loved ones beyond the veil to reassure, guide and comfort us. Sometimes they are from our guides or angels.
I frequently do readings for clients who suspect they have had such an experience, but they still seek confirmation that it was real when they are not sure if it may just have been their imagination.
Sometimes a client will also ask for my interpretation of a repetitive sign they have been noticing. They seek information about who it might have been, or they wish to know if spirit is trying to warn them, or teach them something.
Signs can take many forms. It usually presents in a way that will appeal to you personally, based on your personality, lifestyle, and spiritual beliefs. It might be a bird repetitively showing up to tap on your window, or frequently seeing butterflies or dragonflies. Another common sign is repeatedly seeing the same numbers, words, or names.
Last weekend, I asked for a sign of confirmation from spirit. With all the energy shifts currently happening in my life, it’s reassuring to know I have the support of my guides, angels, and loved ones on the other side.
I asked for a sign early Sunday morning, before I set out to walk my dogs. I did not have to wait very long! Minutes into the walk, two beautiful, white butterflies appeared, as if from nowhere, and remained within arm’s reach. They were doing a cheerful dance in line with my heart center for the remainder of the walk, and they only left once I had reached the gate to my home.
Spirit Guides Us In Our Dreams
Spirit guides us in our dreams. Whatever your usual spiritual practice may be, it is never truly complete without the inclusion of your dreams. I often advise my clients to pay more attention to their dreams, as they can contain messages and guidance from our angels, guides and departed loved.
The most important dreams are usually the ones that are most vivid, unusual, and at times also upsetting. When we get a dream that really throws us, it is wise to contemplate them carefully to interpret its meaning.
The best thing to do is keep a record of all your dreams. Write it down in a dream journal you keep next to your bed, or download a dream app to record your notes.
It is important to try and remember as much of your dreams the moment you wake up, before you get up, to ensure your dream is still fresh in your mind. It is further recommended that you try to keep your body in the same position when you wake up to boost your dream memory.
Our dream memories fade quickly after waking and typically disappear from our conscious awareness within a minute or two.
Our dreams often do not make much sense at first as dreaming occurs in the subconscious mind and is therefore usually somewhat abstract and even bizarre. Keeping records enables you to refer back to previous dreams, which often begins to reveal the meaning of your personal dream symbols and recurring themes.
Free Yourself From An Unhealthy Relationship
An intimate relationship or marriage is meant to be a safe space. Your partner or spouse is supposed to be the closest person in your life. They should be the one person you are able to trust unconditionally with the most important aspects of your life.
If you are currently in a challenging relationship, you need to ask yourself if this union has all the key traits for a healthy, happy relationship. Do you feel secure, safe, and supported? More importantly, do you feel loved and valued?
If not, are you hoping it will somehow work eventually, and develop into something that will offer you more of what you need and deserve?
These are vital questions to ask yourself, not only before you commit to someone, but also throughout the relationship. All relationships evolve over time as people change and grow.
Just because everything was great during the initial ‘honeymoon’ phase of a relationship, does not guarantee it will remain that way. A healthy relationship continues to grow and evolve, as both partners grown and evolve.
I have worked with many clients over the years who settled for less, or got caught up in the downward spiral of a dysfunctional, toxic relationship. Saying “I love you” does not mean much if it is not backed up by matching actions and behavior.
Everyday Messages From The Angels
Angels are the divine messengers and sacred helpers of the spirit realm. They are spirit beings of pure light and love, and without ego. My mother consistently relied on the angels for guidance and support when I was a child, and she encouraged me to do so too in prayer and meditation.
Mom also had angel art and ornaments on display in every room of our house. They were gentle, daily reminders that the angels are always with us. Whenever visitors would enter our home, they would usually ask what was up with all the angels, and mom’s reply would be: “Can’t we all use the extra bit of help?”
Clients have asked me over the years how I know for sure that it’s an angel, and not another spirit entity I am communicating during readings. With angels the energy is very distinct and undeniable. It feels like being wrapped in a soft, fluffy blanket of light, love and peace. The angels also never interfere with our soul’s mission, they never tell us what to do, and they only intervene in our lives when we ask them to.
When we ask for their help, the angels send us signs and synchronicities, including cledons. In ancient times, cledonism or cledonomancy was a kind of divination based on chance events or encounters, including random words spoken by strangers in public. These everyday signs or omens can come to us in various miraculous ways, such as hearing something said on the radio or television, or overhearing a conversation in a restaurant, on the bus, or in a supermarket, or reading a license plate, bumper sticker, or billboard.
Working With The Angels
I have worked with angels and spirit guides most of my life, and have discovered many lovely ways to receive guidance and support from these celestial beings. Although it may seem all too simple, all we really need to do is ask. Our guides and the angels need our consent to intercede on our behalf. The only exception to this I have ever experienced is emergency situations, when angels appear to rescue or protect us from imminent danger. But even in these cases, you often find that the rescued person said a prayer or two before the angels showed up.
The angels wish for us to seek their assistance in small or large matters, and they delight in helping us. We each have one or two guardian angels, who are with us from birth, but there are many other angels and archangels that support and guide us in different matetrs. We simply need to ask! The restrictions of time and space, as we know it in this physical world, does not apply to the angelic realm, so they can help us all at the same time and at any time.
One of my most memorable personal experiences with the angels was the time I engaged three contractors to do refurbishments at my home. I paid each of thm significant sums of money upfront to purchase the necessary materials, and so on. But as soon as they had the money they suddenly became impossible to reach! All three of them kept pushing forward the agreed dates to start and complete the work.
Rather than getting frustrated or upset, I immediately turned to Archangel Metatron, who can bend time and space, and Archangel Michael, who is our great protector. I asked them both to kindly exert their loving influence on the hearts of the contractors, and to give them a gentle, yet firm nudge to get started on the work. I then thanked the angels and blessed all that would be working on the projects.
The Angel That Saved Me
I love to go hiking, often alone. Over the years I have had a few scary moments. One time, it was an encounter with a rattlesnake, another when lighting struck a mountain ridge very close to me. Fortunately, I have not had any incidents with bears or mountain lions!
However, I did have one very frightening experience involving another person. I was walking back down in a quiet, wooded area, about one hour away from the trail’s end, when a man came walking up towards me. We exchanged brief greetings, as he passed by me, and I continued down the path.
But then he stopped, turned around, and followed me.
“I think I’ll hike back down with you,” he said, once he caught up with me. The tone of his voice sent a shiver down my spine.
“Thank you, but I am actually needing a little alone time today,” I replied politely and just kept walking. But he ignored what I said and kept walking next to me, speaking in a manic way.
My intuition prompted me to keep walking and just let him talk. My gut instinct was telling me that if we were to stop, the situation might escalate! Meanwhile, I could feel my energy shifting to my lower chakras (fear, fight, flight) and had to work very hard to stay centered in my upper chakras (intuition).
The stranger became increasingly excited with our ‘conversation’ and it was apparent that he was mentally unstable. He began talking about “loving first times,” while I sensed the danger increasing. My intuition was now in high gear and I started praying silently in my mind. “Please help, please. If ever I needed a guardian angel, then it is right now.”
