Willow Healing Matters - Signs
The universe leaves us signs - are you watching? Are you listening?
Some days I feel like I see signs everywhere. From repeating numbers, to the same bird appearing every time I look out the window, or a message strewn across the side of a truck (Are you living your happy life? Why yes, yes I am random truck).
But how do we know it is a sign and not just a coincidence - if there is such a thing? Are you looking for the sign rather than letting it flow to you? Is there a reason you feel this is happening?
Whilst these are all great questions it just complicates everything. Be simple and trust - trust your intuition (your inner knowing) or if you are not sure just ask.
I know you are thinking - Catherine I can’t just ask the universe to give me a sign. But oh you can! Let me share a story.
I was given the opportunity to apply for a scholarship for a course and had no idea how much the course cost. My guides/angels kept saying apply you need to do this. When I found out the price of the course I won’t lie - I cried. I didn’t have the money needed even with the scholarship. I couldn’t understand why I was being told to do this. I went and meditated on it. I asked if they really wanted me to do this course to show me a black cockatoo…
Sure enough I get home and I see a black cockatoo as soon as I get out of the car. I was still so confused. I got my sign but there is no way I could conjure the funds needed. Then my husband simply said - do you need to do it now? So I asked if I needed to do it now and if it is a no to show me a repeating number. I look at the clock and it’s 7:07, I look at my phone battery and its at 77%. Lesson learnt!
A few days later the universe decided to show me that I would learn and share my own version of this course in due time which is why they were saying yes to do it!
Talk about a stressful roundabout of confusion. I learnt two things from this experience. Firstly, ask the RIGHT questions. And secondly, I asked for signs and they were delivered to me.
So what are ways we can get or ask for signs? Here are the ones I have found come most often my way:
Numbers - repeating numbers or seeing the same sequence can be the universe trying to give you a message. They are often called Angel numbers. Just pop them in a search engine and see what comes through! I also love the book ‘Messages in Numbers’ by Alana Fairchild which has some meditations for numbers as well.
Animals - having dreams or seeing the same animal can be the universe trying to give you a message. I often have animals appear in my dreams or literally fly into my car (they wanted me to definitely pay attention to some ducks….). I like using this site to find out what the animal means. Animals might also come in the form of feathers to send you a message.
Messages - sometimes the universe will put literal messages in front of you. This might be in the form of a billboard or sign on a truck but can also be what you overhear. You may be pulled into conversations where the same name or thing is mentioned and that is the universe saying ‘Hey you were looking for this - here it is!’. This might even be the same message coming up on your social media feed. Pay attention and trust it.
Your body - paying attention to our body can also give us signs on what is happening in our life. This may be noticing when we feel discomfort in our body in a situation (it might be a sign to leave), or a pain that keeps recurring. You can tune into these and search out the meaning. There’s two books I refer to. The first is ‘Metaphysical Anatomy’ by Evette Rose and the other is ‘The Secrets of Your Body’ by Inga Segal. I’ve also found searching ‘spiritual meaning of XXX (e.g. sore right leg)’ has been enlightening as well.
Plants - flowers and plants can also carry a message from the universe for us to listen to. Keep seeing roses everywhere? This might be the universe letting you know you are loved. I found this site covers a lot of flowers and their meaning across various cultures. The Symbolic Meaning of a Flower website provides even more insight for you and is fun to explore.
Do you have other signs you get from the universe? Feel free to comment and share what comes through for you.
