Signs From Your Spirit Guides: What If the Universe Is Already Trying to Talk to You?

For years, you may have done what I did.
You noticed the signs… but you didn’t trust them.
A flutter in your chest. A synchronicity too precise to ignore. An animal appearing in an improbable way at the exact moment you were thinking about a loved one.
And immediately, the mind steps in:
“This is just coincidence.” “You’re imagining things.” “Don’t become one of those people.”
But what if those signs weren’t coincidences?
What if your spirit guides were already in dialogue with you?
If you’re not familiar with spirit guides (also called soul guides), I invite you to listen to Episode 3 of the Mystical & Practical podcast👇
Signs From the Universe: Coincidence or Intuitive Guidance?
We’ve been trained to rationalize everything.
But some moments go beyond statistical probability.
You think intensely about someone who has passed away… and their symbolic animal crosses your path at that exact second.You ask for clarity… and a book opens precisely on the sentence you needed. You’re doubting a decision… and you keep seeing the same number for three days straight.
The real question may not be:
“Is this real?”
But rather:
“What are the statistical odds that this is purely random?”
When something defies probability, you enter another territory.
The territory of intuitive guidance.
The 2 Powerful Signs I Received on My Birthday
Last year, on my birthday, I received two very clear signs.
🦆 A Message From My Deceased Father
On my birthday, a duck flew directly toward our windshield on a quiet suburban road — far from any wildlife.
We stopped the car. It calmly sat on the pavement in front of us.It didn’t move until I stepped out of the car and told it gently that it needed to go.
Then it slowly walked away.
I instantly knew it was a sign from my late father, wishing me a happy birthday… and reminding me to slow down.
The moment wasn’t dramatic. It was simple. Stable. Obvious.
And that’s often how real signs feel.
🪶 A Message From My Spirit Guides
Later that same day, my mother gave me a birthday card with a dragonfly on it.
She had no idea that dragonflies are a symbol I associate with my spirit guides.
I immediately understood that my guides had nudged her toward that card to say hello and wish me a happy birthday.
Again, it wasn’t mental searching.
It was inner recognition.
These two signs reminded me how deeply guided we always are — by our departed loved ones and by our spirit guides.
Signs are often subtle… but they are there, if you take the time to notice.
Signs Are Mirrors… and Compasses
Over time, I’ve come to understand that signs are not just external confirmations.
They are reflections.
Your spirit guides work with your energetic field.They reflect where you are vibrationally.
A sign might say:
“You’re aligned. Keep going.”“You’ve drifted. Gently recalibrate.”“We are here.”
Signs aren’t GPS instructions.
They are a compass.
How to Recognize Signs From Your Spirit Guides
Print this table of the 8 types of spiritual signs and keep it near you — in your journal, on your desk, or by your altar — as a reminder that signs are subtle… but you are guided at all times.
Type of Sign | How It Shows Up | Example |
Repeated synchronicities | Coincidences too precise to ignore | Seeing 111, 222, or 333 repeatedly |
Animal messengers | An animal appears during an emotional moment | A rare bird, butterfly, crow… or even a duck 🦆 |
Recurring symbols | A symbol appears again and again | A feather 🪶, coin, dragonfly |
Vivid dreams | A dream more intense than usual | Dreaming of a deceased loved one |
Perfectly timed songs or phrases | A message arrives through music or speech | A song answering your inner question 🎶 |
“Not by chance” conversations | Someone says exactly what you needed | A phrase overheard that clarifies your decision |
Sudden body sensations | Your body reacts before your mind | A chill, warmth in your heart |
Calm inner recognition | A peaceful certainty | A deep knowing this isn’t random |
Why You Don’t Always Receive Signs
If you feel like you never receive signs, breathe.
This is not a spiritual test.
It’s a relationship that develops over time.
Sometimes signs become quiet to teach you to trust your own intuitive guidance without external confirmation.
The Mistake That Blocks Signs
Hunting for them.
The more you force. The more you desperately look for proof. The more you vibrate lack.
Signs appear in surrender — not pressure.
How to Work With Signs Without Forcing Them
Here’s a simple practice I teach in my channeling course:
Become the observer, not the desperate seeker
Track patterns. Don’t manufacture evidence.
Ask… then release
Before sleep or meditation, say: “Show me a sign if I’m aligned.” Or even: “Show me green giraffes in the coming days to validate your presence.”Then let it go.
Turn inward before Google
Ask yourself: Where am I right now? What am I feeling? What am I integrating?
Trust your body
A real sign feels calm and stable.It does not create anxiety. Your nervous system knows.
Signs Can Also Come From Departed Loved Ones
Spirit guides aren’t the only ones communicating.
Between incarnations, we are apprentice spirit guides ourselves. We practice sending signs to loved ones and soul family members who are still on Earth.
Your departed loved ones are still with you. Even without a physical body, their consciousness expands and they watch over you.
They may send:
A favorite animal. A familiar scent. A moved object. A vivid dream.
The difference? The emotional tone is often more personal and loving.
Developing Your Personal Language With the Universe
Over time, you develop your own symbolic language.
Maybe feathers are your code.
Maybe numbers and mirror hours.
Maybe tarot or oracle flashes.
Maybe a sensation in your solar plexus chakra.
That is channeling.
Not necessarily hearing voices — but decoding subtle energetic dialogue.

FAQ – Signs From the Universe and
Communication With Your Spirit Guides
How do I know if a sign truly comes from my spirit guides?
A real sign is recognized by how it feels in your body. It is not nervous excitement or forced interpretation.
It feels calm and steady. Your body knows before your mind does.
If you feel inner peace, a quiet sense of certainty, or a subtle chill, there is a strong chance you are experiencing a genuine message.
Are signs from the Universe always dramatic?
No. Signs are often subtle. An animal crossing your path. A recurring number. A song playing at the perfect moment.
The more you develop your intuitive guidance, the more you realize that spiritual communication is simple and natural — not dramatic.
Why don’t I receive signs?
You probably already do… but you may not recognize them yet.
Signs become clearer when:
You slow down
You trust your intuition
You stop desperately searching for proof
Your connection with your spirit guides is a relationship that develops over time.
What is the difference between intuition and imagination?
Imagination is mental, fast, and often charged with anxiety.
Intuition is calm, neutral, and steady. It does not shout. It whispers.
This is exactly what I explain in detail in my free Channeling Cheat Sheet.
Can spiritual signs come from a deceased loved one?
Yes. Loved ones in the afterlife can communicate through:
Symbolic animals
Dreams
Objects
Synchronicities
The message often carries a more personal and emotional tone.
Is it dangerous to open my intuitive channel and communicate with spirit guides?
No, not when it is done with grounding and structure.
Conscious channeling is based on:
Grounding
Clear intention
Energetic protection
Personal sovereignty
This is exactly what I teach step by step in my channeling course.
Can I learn to communicate with my spirit guides on my own?
Yes. The ability to channel and receive signs is not reserved for a spiritual elite.
It is a skill that develops with:
Practice
Clarity
A structured framework

Do synchronicities always have meaning?
Not necessarily. Some synchronicities are confirmations. Others are invitations to look within.
The better question is not: “What does this sign mean?”
But rather: “Where am I right now?”
Signs often reflect your inner state more than they predict your future.
