I am often asked about what does seeing something mean. Is it an omen? Is it a guide, an angel or a deceased loved one trying to convey a message? As your spirituality grows you become aware that there is so much more to this world than you originally thought. Very few of us go through life without growing or changing our perspective on topics. It’s actually sad when someone leaves this life at the same vibration level or point in their development that they entered this lifetime with. It’s like graduating from school not picking up any knowledge or wisdom. You can view it as a squandered opportunity.
As we wake up, we start looking at the world around us through new fresh eyes. Some individuals are thrilled that there is more to this existence than meets the eye and they can’t wait to dig in and explore further. There are other individuals that feel quite shaken when they realize that the world is not what they thought it was and they go into fear. They don’t realize that we are surrounded by love and support through our spiritual existence and journey.
Are We In This Alone?
As you would not allow your toddler to walk into town by themselves and explore why would you think that the creator, your higher-self and guides would not support you? We are never alone even if we sometimes think or feel that way. The Universe, our guides and higher-self are constantly trying to get our attention. When we pay attention to the signs, our lives have a way of smoothing out, getting more manageable and we find balance. Again we are not meant to go it alone. It’s our belief that we are not being guided, that it’s all up to us to figure it out, that brings a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety into our daily lives. Once you come to the realization that we can ask and receive, our lives begin to have more joy and balance.
Does The Universe Communicate With Us?
It’s my belief that the Universe communicates with us on a regular basis. The real question isn’t if it’s communicating with us but are we listening? How can anyone get a message through if we are constantly in a noisy environment? The daily noise and distractions of the tv constantly on, music playing, being on your phone scrolling through social media accounts. Sound familiar? People are forever speaking but not listening to others and not even paying attention to their own thoughts. We run from stillness and silence, feeling the discomfort. Have you wondered why that is? Why do we avoid being alone with our own thoughts and feelings? If we can’t be still, how does spirit have a chance of delivering a message to us? How often do we notice an omen and feel strongly that it’s a sign, an answer to a prayer and immediately get distracted by our phones or the people around us?
At some point we need to learn to be still, have our eyes, ears, mind and heart open to receive messages from our guides. Often we take signs for granted, thinking they’re coincidences until we see them repeatedly. That’s the way our guides, the Universe, works with us to gain our attention. Think about calling a child in to eat dinner or pick up their toys, is it often that they listen the first time? We are either distracted or believe it’s a coincidence until it’s in our face and realize, yep, something is happening here.
Omens
I have a fond memory of meditating in the yard back home and I would have amazing experiences with spirit and nature. I saw omens often, so much so that I started to wonder if it was all just a coincidence. As I was sitting outside meditating I saw a huge dragonfly fly over the fence and head my way. I immediately thought about my transformation which I was doing rapidly at that time. As I observed the biggest dragonfly I had ever seen I noticed it was coming my way… I thought surely it’s not going to hit me. The very next thing I knew it flew directly into my forehead directly hitting my third eye. It was a huge sign for me that the universe was trying to get my attention.
Why Are We Seeing Omens?
There are many reasons why we may be seeing omens. It could be that we are suffering the loss of a loved one. Spirits often work hard to get our attention from the other side. They can have it where we hear songs in our heads that remind us of them, or playing with electrical devices and moving things in our homes. They’re reaching out to let you know that they’re okay.
Our guides can be using omens of repeating numbers, or bringing our attention to specific animals that are repeatedly appearing in our dreams or when we’re awake. Sometimes it involves an author that’s created a seminar or written a book in an area that we need assistance in to help us evolve.
I find there are many ways that our guides, spirit and deceased loved ones will work hard to get our attention. Why not meet them halfway and work at being still. If you keep seeing repeating signs look up the meaning of a particular animal, number, or even a name. Pay attention to how you feel when you keep coming across the same sign, the repeating omen. When we research what the meaning is usually it’s extremely strong validation for what’s going on in our lives. Or if we have been asking a question for guidance to move forward, we will receive an answer. Taking time to be still, listen, notice the omens and follow through with investigating the meanings will make our lives so much easier. Be your own best friend and make yourself a priority in your life, take the time to converse with the Universe. Conversation involves not just speaking but a great conversationalist listens.
