How the Universe Communicates
How does the Universe communicate with you?
Hey Queens! Welcome back to another episode of Captivation Radio! Today, I am going to talk about the different ways that Universe communicates with you. As you begin to trust your intuition and maybe even growing in your beliefs about what is out there in the unknown, it is natural to start asking for signs or asking for answers. But then how do you hear those answers? How do you know if it is really a sign or you just reading too much into things?
Before we start you have to remember what I told you in the intuition episode – you have to be present, make time for stillness, and have faith if you are ever going to be aware of all of the signs around you.
Signs often start off subtle and gentle. But they can get incredibly loud and persistent if you have not listened to the earlier 20 signs. Signs are generally not how they are portrayed in popular media. Most signs won’t include physical angels standing in front of you or God’s face in the clouds telling you what to do next, although that would make things a lot easier for everyone. Signs can come from anyone, anywhere, any time. All people are connected through the Universe, really everything is connected. This means a sign could come from anywhere at any time and often through people you would never expect to learn from.
Signs for you may show up differently than they do for other people. Two people can see and hear the same thing and interpret them in two totally different ways. What feels like a message to you may mean nothing to the next person because the message wasn’t for them, so you have to learn to rely on your own intuition to determine what signs are for you and what they mean.
Ok, let’s get into how signs come to us!
Through other people
Have you ever asked for a sign and then later you have a conversation in which you receive an answer from someone who had no idea what you were thinking about? This is how the Universe works through people. It doesn’t even have to be an in-person conversation. We are all incredibly connected these days through social media, and it only makes sense that some of our messages come from people on our social platforms. You will see a lot of content creators say, “I have a message for someone out there.” Now of course some of these people may not actually have a message for anyone, and others may have a message for you, but I am not sure it is as simple as the person showing up on your for you page. But I do believe as we scroll, we can see messages we need to see. There are days that I am only online for a few minutes, and I have seen the same message in 5 different ways.
I talked about this a couple of weeks ago, but I will tell you again. I had asked, aloud, what type of program would help people right now, what do people need from me? And within minutes I received a message from a client asking questions about intuition, then a few minutes later a friend commented on a post of mine talking about how conditioning gets in the way, as I talked to the person one the conversation progressed into talking about how it was so much easier to trust our intuition before we were taught not to. Hence, my intuition boot camp – the Queen Mini Mind that starts tomorrow.
Another great example is when I wanted to start my second podcast. I knew I wanted to do a true-crime podcast, I knew I wanted to focus on unsolved murders, missing persons, and wrongful convictions in my state of Wisconsin. I started to research and worked on it in the background. I almost started it multiple times, but it never felt quite right. Then I decided I would just stop trying to push it and put it on the back burner. Fast forward a few months and I’m scrolling my groups on Facebook and I see a womxn asking if anyone has ever considered starting a Wisconsin true-crime podcast, so I stalk her page a little and then decide I should answer her, and I finally comment. We end up messaging and setting a day to meet like a month from that date. We finally meet and we have tons in common. We started our podcast, All the Sins of Wisconsin, a few weeks ago and it is going so well. We work so well together and I’m having a much better time than I ever would have if I would have continued working by myself.
Numbers
DO you often see repeating numbers? You know the ones 3:33, 11:11, 5:55, etc.? Or do you see numbers that have meaning to you often? Like your birthday? These are often signs. All numbers have an associated meaning to them. The repeating numbers are often called angel numbers and they also have a meaning associated with them. Aside from the meaning of the numbers I find it is important to pay attention to what you are doing, feeling, thinking about when you see the numbers. Often the message is a reassurance that you are on the right path. Although the messages are often associated with positive outcomes there are times when the repeating numbers can be a warning. I don’t want to sound ominous, but if you are having issues with someone or something and the number is popping up it could be trying to draw your attention to the situation. This is one of the reasons I think it is really important to pay attention to your individual circumstances when you are seeing the numbers.
Music
Do you ever wake up with song lyrics in your head? Or you suddenly can’t get a certain line out of your mind? Maybe you get in the car and the same song is always on, or a song mysteriously gets added to your playlist? Music is a great way for the Universe to connect with you. The emotion, words, sounds all have meaning and can share a message for you.
Random Thoughts
Do you ever have thoughts come into your mind from absolutely nowhere? Like why did I just think about this person? Then five minutes later the person calls you.
Literal Signs
Street signs, decorative wooden signs, bumper stickers, store signs all kinds of physical signs can hold messages for us. This can be a way that you see repeating numbers, you could see a billboard that has an answer for a question you have been considering, there are all kinds of ways these signs can communicate. If you’re like me, you don’t pay much attention to the signs you see all of the time. Then randomly my attention will be drawn to something like a mile to wherever sign and I will notice a repeating number. Things like this are not coincidences. Although the signs are always there your attention is not always there and there may only be a few people who truly look at that sign that day.
Dreams
Like I said a couple of episodes back, dreams can answer many of our problems. If you have a lot of recurring dreams or dreams with a similar theme pay attention. Look up the meaning. Your subconscious and the Universe are likely trying to tell you something. For me, my dreams are generally pretty literal. I dream of real-life scenarios and work through many of my problems in my sleep. I often wake up knowing the answer to a question I had before going to sleep. For others, their dreams are confusing and full of symbolism. These dreams will take a little more effort to work through, but it can be done with a good dream interpretation book or with the help of an outside source.
Technological Issues
Have you ever had issues with technology that were driving you absolutely crazy and then later you realized that the issue actually helped you? I’ll give you an example. Last week I was trying to record this podcast and for some reason my privacy settings are goofy, and I struggle with getting my mic to connect to my laptop. I have to change a bunch of stuff every time. I had been talking about bringing my desktop to my office for the longest time, but I had been procrastinating for a lot of my own reasons. While I was struggling something said, just go get your desktop and stop messing around. So instead of recording, I spent that day moving the last of my home office to my real office and got everything set up. Then I got my room rearranged and everything feels more peaceful. I recorded the next day and I was in a happier, calmer headspace.
Another example, as many of you know, last year I was writing a book and I lost all of it. I believe this was a combination of Mercury retrograde and the Universe. The book I was writing was good, but I’m not sure it was great. Without this interruption, I would have continued writing something I would have found mediocre, and then I would have been upset. In all honesty, the book was going to be helpful but surface-level. I simply wasn’t ready to go all the way woo woo with my audience yet, so the book wouldn’t have really been me. Although, I cried over all my work that was lost I had a clear knowing that this was by design and not by accident.
This is how technology works sometimes. If your text or email isn’t going through, reread it and see if it is written in the way you want it to be received, or ask yourself if the person receiving it needs the message right now. Then adapt accordingly. I know it is hard to look for a bigger meaning when you are frustrated but it is always helpful to be mindful of the many things that could be going on.
Physical Symptoms
I want to preface this section by saying – if you have anxiety, you may not be able to differentiate which symptoms are intuitive and which are anxiety. Any changes in your life are going to come with doubt and if you suffer from anxiety this may lead you to feel anxious and having all the physical symptoms that come along with anxiety when in reality making a move is the best thing for you. If you cannot differentiate between the two then I would rely on other methods of communication until you can work with someone through these issues.
We all know emotional issues can cause physical symptoms. Sometimes the Universe will use your physical body to communicate with you as well. And sometimes in not-so-nice ways. Yall might be sick of this story, but I like to tell it because it is such a savage way of the Universe communicating. For months I questioned whether I should stay with my training job or not, I was burnt out with it, but I kept forcing myself to go. I got more and more frustrated because the hours were messing up my routine, I didn’t feel like I was able to make an impact like I used to, and I was absolutely over the constantly changing staff. But I kept going. Then July comes, it’s a Wednesday and I’m leaving the class that frustrates me the most. I come outside and I’m in a serious mood because things hadn’t gone well. It is sunny outside, so I’m like ok I’m going to pop the top on my Jeep and soak up some sun on my way home and that should change my mood. I get the top folded back and jump off my step the same way I had a million times before, but somehow, I land on the edge of the parking lot where the gravel starts, and I can hear something in my ankle crack. This leads to me being in a boot for what felt like forever. I still finished out July and August, but I acknowledged that it was time to move on and gave my notice. I swear my ankle went from healing slow AF
to being almost fully healed in a matter of days after giving my notice. It was like the Universe told me I was going to feel the physical pain until I did what I was supposed to.
Closed doors and roadblocks
Do you ever run into detours, roadblocks, slow traffic, etc. when you are rushing to get somewhere? That is often a sign that you need to slow down! So many people are in such a rush they are not really enjoying their life at all. Pay attention to how you feel when these things come up. Other days, these things are a sign that you are not meant to go to your destination. Are you on your way to an interview you feel unsure of? Maybe the job is not for you. On your way to a date? Maybe the Universe just saved you from a terrible date.
Alignment or Struggle?
Are things in your life flowing or is everything hard? When you are in alignment with your path then you will feel energized. The ideas will flow easily. Doors will open for you. Contrarily, when we are out of alignment everything is hard. We feel drained by our work, life feels like a chore, and there are constant issues in our way. This is why we must pay attention to what we are doing and talking about when we feel our best! Seriously, have you ever heard someone talk about something they were passionate about and seen the way their face lights up? You cannot tell me that is not divine.
Downloads from the Universe
Downloads have been one of the catchy buzz words for the last couple of years, but I’m not sure if it is often well explained since a lot of people just say it in passing. I’m going to touch on this topic today and then next week I’m going to dive deeper into it when I talk about different types of psychic abilities because downloads can come in multiple different fashions, and this varies greatly by person. Downloads from the Universe are spiritual messages or communications. They can be messages for you or for someone else. Have you ever just known you had to say a particular thing and the words just come out without you knowing where you know the information from? This is an example of a download from the Universe. In Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the Universe giving you ideas through little fairies flitting around and whispering in your ear. This is the way I like to imagine the Universe communicating with me. Tune in next week to learn more about what downloads feel like and how you can tune in to them more often.
I love you all and I am so happy you are here! Don’t forget today is the LAST day to sign up for the Queen Mini Mind, this month’s theme is Intuition & Deconditioning Limiting Beliefs. If you need a payment plan, please message me!
