You certainly don’t need to be a Medium to experience signs from your loved ones. Our Spirit family and friends often attempt to get our attention with signs that they are close. The most common time you may sense or see or hear Spirit trying to communicate is when you are alone. Perhaps just waking or in a full dream state; however, communication can be anywhere and anytime. They want to give us guidance and comfort, never intending to scare or frighten. My advice is to be open and acknowledge these signs from whom they are coming from. Most of us intuitively know who is there by one of the signs received. Accept the love and support that Spirit sends – they feel your love towards them, hear you talking to them, and love seeing you in your dreams.
♥ Dreams are the most common of way to be visited by those in Spirit. The dream experience feels very real with clear messages or conversations, which offer the dreamer comfort that their loved one is well and close by.♥ Touch or feeling Spirits presence is also very common after your love one has passed. We are all made of energy and Spirits’ energy can be felt in a number of ways. Some have said they feel the touch on their shoulder; the air in the room may change to be cooler or warmer without a door being open, or sensing someone sitting next to you while watching television. Sometimes, if you are thinking of someone who has passed, you may get goose bumps, which is a sign they have popped into say “Hi!” When I was growing up, after feeling a cold shiver, we would say, “Someone just walked over my grave,” knowing someone who passed away was close and checking in.♥ Animals signs are extremely common and heart-warming when recognized and received. Butterflies are beautiful creatures and are signs that a loved one has transitioned and are near. You may see a bird hanging around the window or perhaps in front of your path unafraid of you, but staring you down. Other animals that can be signs are dragonflies, ladybugs, robins, blue jays, and in many cases, Spirit comes as an owl.
♥ Coins, Feathers, and small objects can come more frequently and repeatedly until you realize someone is trying to get your attention or validate they are near and wanting to communicate with you. Again, Spirit likes to place things in our path to grab our attention. Finding coins in the oddest places give question and curiosity of how did they arrived there. Acknowledge your passed loved one and send them love or chat with them, and let them know you see their messages. ♥ Flickering lights and electrical activity was one of my first experiences with Spirit and 80 percent of my clients experience this during their readings. Energy is too easy for Spirit to manipulate –flickering lights, the TV or radio going off or on, the phone ringing once or multiple times, or some have reported a device begins to make a noise. One experience I love to share is a family member received a text from me to call me, yet my phone was charging on ‘airplane mode’ at the time in question and I didn’t text him!♥ Scents can bring back the best memories and some passed loved ones come with a memorable smell, like Grandma’s apple pie and Dad’s pipe or brand of cigarettes. We remember that perfume Mom wore and a wonderful aroma will fill the room when they are visiting you in Spirit. The smell of a favourite food or fragrance of a special flower can associate with your loved one, and on occasion, it could be a funky odour too (they sometimes have a crazy sense of humour!).♥ Movement and displaced objects tend to really get your attention because on occasion, Spirit can move items with little effort. Remote controls go missing and reappear on a regular basis and you think you’re going crazy. Perhaps the pictures on the wall are off centre or fall off the wall for no reason. An item of sentimental value goes missing and you find it in a place you know you checked before.. Let them know they have your attention and perhaps ask them to stop.♥ Sounds include hearing voices or music that relates to the loved one who has passed. Some Spirits try to communicate using their voice and so you may hear your name loud and clear but no one is around to call to you. Another sign a loved one is close is through music, such as a favourite or meaningful song playing over and over or at very significant times.
These signs could be a coincidence to some; however, in my life, experiences such as these are loved ones looking to connect and let you know they are near, sending love and always supporting you.
Each week I pull 3 cards from a deck I am drawn to for the weekly reading. These cards are to given so you might gain clarity and receive some Divinely inspired guidance and future possibilities in this weeks journey.
With a number of decks in to choose from, my choice of deck this week is the Healing with the Angels. I should say guided this week and I am alway happy to read from this deck by Doreen Virtue. Let’s get started!
As I was pulling these cards and asking the question, ” Angels what do we need to know for this week coming?” The first card “BLESSINGS” jumped up and out! The Angels are letting us know that there are extra blessings around us right now. If you are experiencing challenges recently or have asked for extra help from them and the Universe know you are surrounded by more Divine love and light. Your Angels are always with you, know they are hanging around waiting for you to be of service, so Ask them for signs, guidance, and help. Be sure to accept when it comes, it always does.
The next card of “DIVINE GUIDANCE” reminds us to trust our intuition and that we are souls gifted with a human experience through which Divine power can express itself. Extra blessings are coming from Spirit, Source, Higher Power, God, Angels, the Universe or any other name you may have that is sacred to you. We are being strongly guided to pay attention to those gut feelings, that sense of knowing and our inner voice. At this time, we need to be conscious of our connection to Spirit and grow it through prayer and meditation. Ask for Divine for guidance then trust there is a plan and protection. The synchronicities and intuitive push you feel will help you see which way you are being pointed, giving you confidence to move forward in the right direction. Be humble and thank Spirit for their guidance once received.
Embrace“NEW BEGINNINGS” that are coming into your life, new ideas, fresh opportunities that present themselves, people, birth and growth. There is change ahead and for some it may be a bit uncomfortable and uneasy letting go of the familiar and trying something new and unknown. The Angels ask you to be open to new ways to learning, to look at any situation you are being faced with and allow yourself to be stretched in a new direction. We learn more about ourselves through these new experiences.
Overall the messages from the Angels are wonderful blessing of guidance, trusting intuition and strengthening our connections with Spirit. In this week, we will see new ideas and beginnings entering our life so embrace and be inspired by what is coming, it’s okay that you may not know something. Allow your heart to fill with enthusiasm, passion and optimism! Learning takes time, be patient a new way of life takes time, really it has its own timetable. Life is good and loves you!!
Just a quick note; with Mercury Retrograde in full swing just be mindful of your words, hold them back if you find yourself in an argumentative state of mind. Check out my blog on Mercury Retrogradeposted last week.
Many of my clients hear we are in Mercury Retrograde, but what does this mean? Let me try to explain it the best way I understand it.
In Astrology, the way the planets align in our Universe at different times of the year can influence us differently. When Mercury is in retrograde, our emotions run higher and perceived “bad” things happen – things just go awry. Somehow, the planets appear to be traveling backward through the zodiac; this is an illusion, and this illusion is called retrograde motion. Mercury appears to go backwards about four times a year for several days and sometimes for weeks! During this time, people experience feelings of being in a fog or off kilter, their anxiety and frustrations are up, and they are angrier, which makes communicating more difficult. If you are an empath, you may find yourself blocked where you usually feel highly sensitive and intuitive.
You may have felt the shift over the years, but could not put a name to it until now – Mercury Retrograde. Experience has taught me to be aware of these times and recognize you have to plan ahead, be prepared, and be flexible. To name a few, Mercury rules communications, clear thinking, travel, vehicles, contracts/budgets, and electronics. So, when the retrograde occurs, take extra time to travel, avoid signing contracts and making final decisions, or buying a major purchase. Small appliances and vehicles tend to glitch or breakdown, or technical difficulties happen with your electronic equipment, computer, or website. You cannot stop living your life, so just remember that what you thought would happen in any situation during Mercury Retrograde could look different later on. If you are hiring new personal, you will have difficultly choosing the right person for the job – if you can, hold off hiring. If you are buying a new car, problems could creep up later that were completely unanticipated. Double check any flights or transportation schedules, and take a book with you to keep occupied. Back up your data on your systems! It is said to definitely not start a new relationship, new job, or long term projects.
During 2017, Mercury goes retrograde four times and if your sign is noted, you may feel this even more than other times:
December 19th, 2016 to January 8th, 2017 in the sign of Capricorn to the sign Sagittarius
April 9th to May 3rd in the sign of Taurus to the sign of Aries
August 12th to September 5th in the sign of Virgo to the sign of Leo
December 3rd to December 22 in the sign of Sagittarius
Ways to make the most of Mercury Retrograde:
One of the best ways to get through is “go with the flow” and be sure to not take things to personally. Things can be said that are really not intended.
Get together with old friends and have fun during this time – reminisce.
Go down memory lane and re-listen to old music.
Clean out your closets (this is a life changer every time I do).
Relax and take care of yourself. Get the old checklist out:
Getting enough sleep – a solid 8 hours
Drinking lots of water
Light exercise and stretching
Epsom salt bath
Read – turn the tv off earlier
Research how rejuvenate your sacred space
Rewrite personal goals and rework you mantra
This is a good time to reflect on areas of life and what we need to work on a little more. It is a time to finish projects that have been at loose ends and file things away forever so we can move forward with clear eyes and minds. This time might reveal breakthroughs intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually with new perspectives created. I had read that Mercury Retrograde “is a perfect to take part in anything that starts with re- except “react!” So it is time to refresh, revive, review, reboot, rebound, recall, reconcile, recover, reflect, recycle, re-elect, research, refinish, refocus…you get the idea!
Stay aware of the four 2017 Mercury Retrograde cycles as it will pay you dividends to take an extra few moments for a second and third look before you move forward!
Healing with the Angels – Doreen Virtue Oracle Cards
Hello Friends!
Each week I pull 3 cards from a deck I am drawn to for the weekly reading. These cards are to given so you might gain clarity and receive some Divinely inspired guidance in this weeks journey.
My choice of deck this week is the Healing with the Angels. This deck was one of my first decks and it is highly energized with clarity messages. So let’s get to it!
Our first card is Surrender & Release and I can say it seems to be a real theme over the past few weeks. Clearing and letting go of everything, you might feel or ask “how can you do that?” or ” it might be easy for you but I can’t do that”, “what difference does it make?” Do you feel unhappy, stuck or overwhelmed? It is time to take a look around; decide to hang on as you are or release fears and begin to heal. When you hold on tightly to a part of your life that is not working, it leaves no room for healing. You may be unhappy in love, finances, career, home or health. The old saying;”you can’t keep doing the same things and expect and different outcome.” Know when you decide to be willing to open your hands and heart and allow the situation to be freed one of two things will occur: Either it will be washed away from you and replaced with a better situation or the situation will heal in a wonderful way. The Angels message when drawing this card is to try not to control the outcome, let go and let it come to you!
The second card is Playfulness is self explanatory and the Angels love to play and have fun! The message is very simple; add more fun to your life in regular doses! Fun and laughter makes it easier to accomplish your goals and tasks, it gives inspiration and energy to your life. Being playful is an investment that yields immediate returns. Know that; FUN IS A NECESSITY, RATHER THAN A LUXERY!
The third and final card drawn is SpiritualGrowth means you are going through an amazing shift or a change in your process or how you see things. Perhaps you are feeling it in every cell in your body; excitement, confusion, clarity, fear or wonderment. You love the spiritual connection and want to learn more, yet how will this work into the rest of my life or impact my job, relationship or friendships? Take the time to explore, read, study, learn and meditate letting any worries you may have created about your future melt away. These worries may erode the enjoyment you are having with your spiritual learning and growing. Trust in yourself and that you are always supported, loved and guided by the Angels and your Spirit Guides; they have guided you along your spiritual path so far and will continue to take care of you.
Overall this weeks message looks like we are heading in a great direction! With even the smallest of changes we can shift our patterns that will give us the freedom, joy and happiness we crave.
Let go, Laugh, and Learn; My wish for you is to experience all three this week and everyday going forward.
Have a fabulous week and be sure to Share this with your friends and family. I would love to hear what happens for you this week.
Have you felt overwhelmed, fragile or disorganized?
Whether we are aware or not, we are all continually transitioning, moving forward, and under-going a process that has brought us where we are today.
One day you stop and realize that you are where you once dreamt you would be, wondering how you exactly got there. Another day, you know exactly how you have arrived and where you stand through the constant changes that occur during the day. In either event, it is extremely important to STOP, BREATH, AND LOVE the path you have chosen. The Universe is always listening to wishes and intentions sent—be at peace, they are answered and returned. Sometimes the timing can be off or everything will come at once. This may leave you overwhelmed and a bit confused, or you receive a wish when you may have changed your mind and it is not what you truly wanted.
Life is always moving us forward, even when we feel stuck; know this is the Universe giving us time to find the clarity needed to move forward. It is a time to remove old intentions and clearly set new ones.
Reflecting and evaluating is what I am sharing with you to help ease your way through every transition.
Take the time for yourself to review, reflect, and re-evaluate all that has occured in your world. Journal your discoveries and you will have a place to start again for the next time you feel the shift happening.
Find a point in time to start from and where you are right now. Perhaps it is your relationship or your career. It could be your dreams of travel, owning business, or a home – any point important to you will do!
Look at your life events or challenges and love where you have come from because it has brought you here today.
Forgive yourself – that was the best you could do with what you knew at any point of time.
Value yourself – trust you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Embrace the perceived failures or regrets – they are all perfect lessons designed for you.
Let go of any judgment – it was necessary for you to get here. A good time to forgive those who may have triggered emotions and realize there is a gift in it for you.
Thank yourself for the opportunities and challenges taken, for they have made you a stronger person. Now realize that each experience is needed for the experience. Honour yourself by taking time to slow down, rest, and tune-in with simply being in your own vibration. Be still and you will see. Thank your old self with love and gentleness so it allows the big shift you have been experiencing to seamlessly integrate.
Gratitude is key to welcoming your shifts and expansions.Be happy; you are blessed with where you are and what you have at this given moment. Always find at least 5 things you can be grateful for every day – it will allow you to receive what is yet to come.
Intentions can be re-evaluated and set again. Be mindful of what you are intending. Be clear, be positive, and be ready to receive. Cancel, clear, and delete any intentions you are no longer in alignment with. You are ready to move forward again! Once you learn the laws of the Universe, then step by step, you will begin see results in creating the life you desire.
Ask for Support if you are finding it difficult to move forward. Take the time to ask the Universe, your Angels, and Spirit for signs that you are heading in the right direction. Ask for support from me; I have experience in coaching or guiding people through a transition. Know I am here to help make your journey as enjoyable as possible.
Love the life you have created! In all your transitions – now and in the future – continue to create your happiness and joy with great ease, gentleness, and loving support.
