There are many ways that the Universe will confirm back to you what you need to know to move in the direction of your goals. But are you successfully interpreting the Universe’s road signs?
You’re looking at the wrong things
The most important thing I can share with you is that the messages that are significant are not the ones you go looking for. You will know when they are meant for you. All you need to do is go along with your life and just be aware of the world around you.
If you walk around expecting everything to be a message, you will see them everywhere. This will make it difficult for you to get a clear read on what your answer is.
Think of it this way, let’s say you’re thinking about buying a Toyota or you do buy one, I promise, you will see Toyotas everywhere after. It’s not that they weren’t there before, it’s just that now you have them at “top of mind”.
Senses and Sensibility
There are many senses that your messages will come through, both through your physical senses and your psychic senses.
You can see, hear, feel, know, smell and even taste your answers both with your physical and psychic senses. Which sense you will use will be simply based on your natural strengths and disposition.
In actuality, there is no external force that is speaking to you. The direction that you receive externally is simply YOU utilizing the fabric of the universe to confirm back to yourself the direction that is in your highest good.
As you have the entire universe to reflect back to you, the ways you will receive wisdom is unlimited, therefore keep in mind that this list is far from exhaustive.
Internal Recognition
No matter what sign or symbol you will notice, it will be married with an internal recognition. That is the most important factor about interpreting messages. It’s that internal chord that gets struck when you acknowledge or become aware of something that “rings” true for you.
Your messages will appear in all shapes and sizes; numbers, images, symbols, animals, dreams, visions, in other peoples words or actions, strokes of inner knowing or feelings within yourself and so on.
It’s important to use your best judgment around these messages to avoid becoming diluted, when we want something bad enough we can easily see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear.
More specifically, it’s not that you don’t care about achieving your goals, you just stay open and unattached to the HOW and you simply focus on the “what”. For example, if you really want something to be your solution, let’s say you want you new boyfriend to be the “one”, then you will find confirmation and read into things to support that perspective. We might only see what we want to see and not the red flags. This is how we get diluted or miss-lead, we want a certain answer, so we find evidence in our environment to prove ourselves right.
The best way to have clarity and untainted direction is to detached from the outcome, let go of the how completely. The Universe is extremely creative in finding the best route to our destination, we might not be able to see it from where we are as we don’t always have a bird’s eye view on things.
How to develop your capacity to recognize and interpret messages from the world around you.
Exercise 1:
1. Start by asking to be shown how the universe communicates with you.
2. Then set your intention and state, show me 3 things today to confirm my preferred method of communication.
3. Notice how you feel when you see, hear, feel or even smell the “message”. There should also be a feeling or inner knowing of recognition.
4. Use muscle testing to help you confirm your findings if needed. (See tutorial)
You might want to do this exercise a few times to get a feel for it.
Exercise 2:
1. Ask a specific question you would like guidance on.
2. Go on in your daily life not actively searching for this confirmation, just be open and observe the world around you.
3. Notice repetition, and if you are unsure, ask the universe to show you again or in a different way that is more clear for you.
4. Take note of the things that jump out that are paired with the inner feeling or knowing that the outside message invokes within you.
5. Review the various forms and see the patterns or repetitions.
6. Ask yourself, what does this “thing” mean to me?
7. Keep track of this in a journal or sorts and see what the theme is.
Developing your capacity to recognize and interpret messages from your inner world.
Muscle Testing
One of my personal preferences to connect with my inner knowing is with muscle testing. This is essentially a lie detector test but without the machine. You can connect with your current inner truth. You can also use it to clarify the Universal or Divine truth and how those might be out of alignment.
This in itself is a whole other subject, but let me give you the quick and dirty on it. You might have your own perspective of what’s possible and because of your experiences, it might be limited while the Universe or Divine energy may have a higher perspective of what’s possible for you not limited by your personal perspective.
For example, you might have a perspective of what love is based on the conditional love that you were inadvertently indoctrinated into.
Further clarification
You can also use a pendulum or dowsing rods to get clarification. Just like anything else, you can “make” your rods, body or pendulum to give you a certain answer so it’s important to be unattached to the answer to get the clearest message.
One of the most powerful ways that I’ve been able to enhance my “listening skills” is through practicing the 7th Plane Meditation from the Thetahealing® Technique. You can try it out here and see how it feels for you, or join me for my upcoming ThetaHealing Intro night.
