The concept of “signs” finds it’s origin in the principal of synchronocity a concept introduced by psychologist Carl Jung. The idea behind synchronocity is that there are cause and effect principles out there that cannot be explained away as just coincidence. This idea has come to be known as “signs”. Once we are open to the concept of signs, we will no doubt see more and more of them as we go about our daily lives. I look at them as messages from the universe and can come through your guides, the angels, or God.
I first became aware of signs for what they were just about two years ago now. I remember drivng down the highway one day very distraught. In desperation I asked my guide to give me a sign. I used a technique I had read about in Silver RavenWolf’s book, “Angels, Companions in Magick” where you ask your guide or Angel to give you a sign from the radio. I chose to ask her to give me a sign on the third song that I would hear. When I heard the song I KNEW what I needed to know about my situation. That it was a sign was reinforced by the fact that the song played was never a favorite of mine! From that time on whenever I hear the song I hear the message being shown to me once more. From then on the signs started to flow. I receive many of my signs through music but there are other ways they are sent as well. Dreams are one way of receiving signs. For example, if you dream of someone, it is often a sign that they are thinking of you. When you see something that reminds you of another person, it is a sign to you as well. It could be their favorite song, the exact car they drive, something that is a favorite of theirs, anything really. Listen with your heart and you will know.
In order to be aware of signs you must be of an open and positive frame of mind. Negativity blocks what the universe is trying to send you because you are too much in your mind rather than feeling and opening up your soul. The help and encouragement is there from the universe for the taking. Meditation is a helpful tool in learning how to quiet the mind and allow intuition to come forth.
Whenever you are feeling negative, unsure of yourself and depressed, it is the mind working overtime. Self doubt and the seeming impossibility of a situation blocks the true vision and inspiration a person has. The mind puts up obstacles, the soul releases them. Anything is possible. The mind says, “It can’t be done”, the soul knows better.
The next time you hear that special song on the radio that seems to be playing just for you, don’t automatically shrug it off as mere coincidence but rather ask yourself what would have happened if you had turned on the radio just a few minutes later, or not at all? Why did I hear this now? I wonder…….
