Have you ever felt like the universe was trying to tell you something? Yesterday, I experienced a beautiful reminder of how our spirit guides, angels, and loved ones communicate with us.
As I sat in my living room, contemplating recent life challenges, a male cardinal caught my attention. It flew by and landed on a nearby tree, as if it were there to tell me something. I felt an instant connection – it was a message of comfort and hope. As I reached for my phone, the bird turned, as if posing for a picture. I couldn't help but smile. After I captured the moment, it flew away, replaced by a female cardinal. Then I watched as they soared off together, feeling lighter and encouraged.
Have you experienced similar moments of synchronicity? If you pay attention, you too can notice these messages from your spirit guides, angels, and loved ones.
You may not always know exactly who is sending you the message or giving you the sign, but often we get a feeling that lets us know this is something significant and meaningful - and that we should pay attention.
What are ways that spirits and the universe try to send us messages?
Animals and creatures - whether it’s a bunny, deer, or a spider, they can be messengers sent to us to tell us something.
Nature - anything that is alive can be a messenger. It may be the wind, a river, or a flower. When you come in contact with these parts of nature, notice how you feel and what thoughts arise. Sometimes an answer to a question you have finds you.
Other people - strangers or people close to us can be messengers. Have you ever had a stranger say something and without knowing anything about you feel like they knew exactly what you were going through? This could be your guides sending you a message.
Numbers - repeating or meaningful numbers can show up on clocks, phones, or places like license plates. For example, lately I’ve been seeing 5:55 a lot when I look at the time. This is a message about change and transformation, and when I reflect on my life currently it makes perfect sense. I often feel this is a message from my spirit guides encouraging me to keep going, which brings me comfort and renewed motivation.
Songs - when listening to music there may be a song that reminds you of a loved one or feels like a message you need to hear at that time. Another way you can use songs is to ask your angels and guides a question and then put your music on shuffle or turn on the radio and see what song comes up. Pay attention to the message in the song title and/or the lyrics.
Coins or feathers - coins and feathers may come across your path to let you know a loved one or your guides are around. The colors of the feather can also carry significance.
Lights flickering or unusual things happening with electronics/technology - this can happen when loved ones are nearby and may be a way for them to say hello.
These are just a few ways the universe might be trying to communicate with you. Stay open to other unique signs that resonate with your personal experiences.
Feeling like you were sent a message from the universe but not sure what it means? Here are some tips to help you better interpret signs and messages:
Reflect on your current thoughts, feelings, and life situations
Pay attention to the emotions that arise after receiving the message
Research the symbolism of the sign (e.g., animal meanings, number significance) and trust what resonates with you
When first starting out with being more in touch with the ways in which guides, angels, and loved ones are trying to reach out, it might be helpful to write the signs and messages down. You can then review them to see if there are any patterns or themes showing up.
Remember, the universe is always communicating with us. By staying open and attentive, you can receive guidance, comfort, and support from your spiritual team.
