Embracing the Divine Guidance of Signs


Our loved ones in Spirit are always with us; their absence in physical form doesn't diminish the vibrant presence of their souls. They continually strive to reach out and communicate with us through the universal language of signs, ensuring that our bond not only remains intact, but grows more profound than ever before.


Signs are messages from the universe, helping to guide us through our everyday journey. They are a reminder that we are loved and part of something much bigger, a divine reality that's always there, supporting us.  


Have you ever sensed that signs or synchronicities were guiding you, through a series of events or timings that appeared far from coincidental, and that stirred a meaningful awakening within you?


Do you ever wonder if your departed loved ones are attempting to communicate with you, yet you struggle to decipher their message?


Or perhaps you find it difficult to recognize signs and wish for some guidance in understanding this mysterious cosmic language.


These are all entirely natural experiences, and it is my genuine hope that this blog proves to be a valuable resource for you.



Discovering Telepathic Connections


We are all made up of energy, and our unique energy field, or aura, links us to the entire universe - to people, animals, nature, even objects and locations, transcending time and space. Soul-to-soul communication within this sacred web of connections is commonly known as telepathy.


If you suddenly experience a sign, along with a flood of memories, or an emotional pull, or perhaps a sudden spark of inspiration, it's very likely your loved one is drawing close to your energy and offering comfort with their presence.


Don't worry if you're not quite seeing the bigger picture just yet. Breathe deeply, take your time, and be gentle with yourself. You're learning to speak a new language, the universal language of Spirit. I have personally found this to be a life changing and miraculous journey, and I wish the same for you!



Signs from Your Loved Ones: How They Connect and Show Their Love from Spirit


Here are some favorite signs that your loved ones in Spirit might use to connect with you, get your attention and gently shift your awareness. Whether you're aware of it or not, they are continuously trying to show you that their love, protection, guidance, and support for you never ends.


  • Waking from dreams so real, it feels as though your loved one is right beside you.

  • Seeing someone who looks exactly like them in a crowd can feel like a warm hello from them.

  • Coming across their name or significant dates and repeating sequences of numbers can be a powerful sign that you are on the right path.

  • When that special song unexpectedly fills the airwaves or in the strangest of places, or when lyrics resonate deeply with how you feel, think of it as their way of sending you a heartfelt message, right when you need it the most.

  • Noticing items related to them moving around your house or getting calls or texts from places they used to frequent, could be their way of saying, "Hey, I'm still here!"

  • Witnessing nature or objects act in surprising or in timely ways, such as seeing one's favorite animal shortly after seeking a loved one's guidance, can carry deep meaning. It's important to note that these signs don't necessarily need to come from the actual creature in its natural habitat. Loved ones are incredibly inventive and clever, conveying messages through a magazine, a significant image on social media, or a special design on a t-shirt. Here are additional examples:

  • Heart-shaped stones and cloud formations can fill us with a sense of love and warmth. Occasionally, a sign is more than just a confirmation of presence; it's a way for them to express their lasting love for us.

  • Street signs, license plates, and billboards often bring unexpected smiles to our faces when they display a familiar family name or a message that holds personal significance.

  • Discovering a feather, a bird or butterfly can be a magical moment, as these winged wonders are often seen as messengers from Spirit. They seem to appear on our path precisely when we need a sign or a little guidance.

  • Finding coins in unexpected places is frequently interpreted as a sign of financial or career support.

  • Catching sight of a rainbow is always a welcome surprise, as Spirit love to wow us with colors and radiant light.

  • Encountering an animal that carries a significant message is an invitation to explore the rich symbolism and archetypal energies they embody. Do some research and trust in the resonance of the message that speaks to you most in that moment.

  • Unusual weather or electrical changes can be seen as signs of a loved one's strong soul energy and their protective presence surrounding you.

Signs may appear simple or straightforward on the surface, yet they often manifest as a sequence of interrelated events and symbols that recur throughout your day. It's as though you're tracing a cosmic thread that spans days, weeks, or even months.


This phenomenon is quite common, with your loved ones possibly trying out different signs to discover the one that truly connects with both of you. They, too, are mastering the art of communication through this universal language, just as you are! Enjoy exploring together!


Delving into the "Clairs" and Intuitive Senses


Let's explore the "clairs" – our intuitive senses. These channels allow us to receive messages directly from our loved ones. As spiritual beings on a human journey, our loved ones can connect with us soul to soul and spirit to spirit, weaving their magic and empowering us to live a life that's truly ours. Below is a brief overview:


👂 Clairaudience is the experience of 'clear hearing' – perceiving a loved one's voice subjectively in your mind, or outside of you.

👁️ Clairvoyance is defined as 'clear seeing', which may involve witnessing apparitions, shadows, orbs, and flashing or sparkling lights, either subjectively or objectively.

👋 Clairsentience is described as a 'clear feeling' – the sensation of a gentle touch on the skin or hair, being hugged by their energy, their reassuring hand on your shoulder, often accompanied by tingles or a profound sense of love and support, reminding you that you are not alone.

🧠 Claircognizance is the experience of 'clear knowing' – it involves receiving sudden information or memories, instilling a deep certainty of their presence with you.

👅 Clairgustance, or 'clear tasting', is the experience of tasting a favorite food or drink associated with your loved one, even when it is not physically present.

👃 Clairalience is the ability to detect scents beyond the physical realm, such as perfume, flowers, cigarette smoke, or scents associated with a loved one's profession or hobby, like automotive work or gardening.


Keep in mind that these senses often overlap and work together. You might experience multiple sensations simultaneously or individually. For example, you may see a sudden flash of light or a vision of a loved one in your mind, while also feeling an intense wave of love, as though they are present with you.

If you've ever received any of these signs or have stories to share, I would love to read about them in the comments!



Confirming Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit


Interpreting signs can be a little overwhelming, but here are some ways to confirm if you've really received a sign from your loved ones in Spirit:


  1. You might have an inner knowing, a gut feeling that what you've experienced is influenced by Spirit. Even when it's initially difficult to trust, you find yourself drawn in a specific direction, or you are sensing the presence of a greater force at play.

  2. The presence of a loved one can be felt through signs. Spotting the same butterfly for the third consecutive day and experiencing a strong emotion or a sense of your grandmother's presence can be a reassuring sign from her.

  3. You look up the meaning of a sign that keeps catching your eye, and its message is exactly what you needed at that time.

  4. The sign is intimately connected to your loved one's personality, reflecting their passions, talents, or a shared significance that resonates deeply between you. It's as if it's been crafted by their own hand, a testament to all they held dear in life continuing to exist.

  5. The sign catches you off guard, emerging suddenly or in an unexpected manner that captures your attention.

  6. Receiving a sign on the anniversary of a loved one's passing, on your birthday or theirs, during significant life events, before or after a mediumship reading, or soon after asking for a specific sign, serves as a heartfelt confirmation that they are present with you in that moment, acknowledging your thoughts and prayers.

  7. You are struck by a sense of awe and wonder, as though life holds more than meets the eye and a greater reality is revealing itself. This includes reflecting on past experiences with signs and realizing that events have unfolded in ways you never thought possible.

  8. The best signs are the ones that leave a lasting impression on your mind and heart, transforming the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you and inspiring you to express your full potential in this lifetime.


Enhancing Communication


To improve communication through signs, here are some essential steps to consider:


Initiation: Communicate to your loved ones, whether verbally, silently, or by writing in a journal, that you are receptive to recognizing signs of their presence. If it's challenging to notice signs, consider asking for up to three specific signs you would like to receive from them. Choose signs that are unique but attainable and hold personal significance. You may also request their insight on a decision or a significant aspect of your life.


Becoming receptive: Create space for experimentation, welcome trial and error, and release any expectations of a particular result or timing. Trust that they are trying their best to connect in the way you need and in the right time. Their abilities might astonish and awaken you, but it's important not to demand or dictate the outcome.


Trust: As you navigate this beautiful journey, you deepen your connection through signs from those you hold dear. It's a path that requires trust - trust in your own divine capabilities, in the enduring presence of your loved ones, and in the unwavering support from your circle of love and light.


We are all interconnected souls, part of a greater whole. The essence and presence of your loved ones are always with you, and I sincerely hope that you will continue to perceive their signs and feel their loving presence in increasingly miraculous ways.

Continuous Support for Your Journey


If at any point on your sacred journey you feel you need support, or if you ever have any questions on your mind, don't hesitate to reach out to me.


Also, be on the lookout for an upcoming mediumship mentorship group. It's going to be an incredible opportunity to practice in an encouraging environment and get some personalized guidance to deepen your unique connection with Spirit. I can't wait to share more details with you soon!

Sending you love and warmth, Danielle
