Mystic Messages

Isn’t it easy to brush off the signals that the Universe is giving us?  How often do we ignore the signs or ask for guidance and then forget to notice the answers are right before our eyes?  I’ve been guilty, I admit!

There are so many sources of information around us that I think sometimes, when we get in information overload, we tune out the important channels of guidance available to us.  The news media outlets are too disturbing to watch.  Even the Weather Channel is getting to be more sensational about the weather, instead of educational about weather in general.  Every day the pile of mail we receive is filled with information for us to process.  How do we shut down the peripheral sources and focus in on the main event?

This is part of learning to live a Conscious Life.  Tune out the extraneous bombardment.  Focus on the important channels of information.  Decide what these are for YOU, for they might be different for each individual.  I have a friend who takes amazing pictures of cloud formations over Pikes Peak here in Colorado Springs.  She finds fantastic forms in these clouds that help her as she interprets their meaning in her life.  Others go for hikes in the beautiful mountains and see signs everywhere they look in Nature.  Another friend asks for guidance and then sees newspaper headlines or reports on television that speak directly to him.

What’s your source of guidance?  Have you ever paid attention to the signs that are around you?  What about the animals that you see in a day?  Have you asked yourself what you were thinking about just before you saw that animal?  Could there be a connection?

For me, a hawk seems to appear when I have just thought or spoken about something that needs confirmation.  The hawk means, ‘Yes!’  My sister used to pray to St. Theresa and she would receive a rose somehow, St. Theresa’s symbol.  What is your ‘confirmation sign’?  If you don’t have one yet, then spend the next several days paying attention.  Ask a question and see what happens around you.  Notice the animals that come into your life.  Look and listen for repeating patterns and see what they are showing you.

Meditation is a good way to open yourself to signals.  Try taking a few minutes to focus on your breath and then ask for your particular channel of guidance to be revealed to you, or that you be shown your ‘confirmation sign.’  Don’t worry if it’s not immediately apparent to you – it might be subtle and might take a few reinforcements for you to believe that the sign is real.  You might try drawing a card from an oracle deck or using a pendulum or some other dowsing tool.  Remember that dowsing is not just for finding water these days!

If you have a friend that you can talk to, share your exploration of the signs around you.  Maybe that special song from your youth will start playing on the radio.  Maybe a hawk, or coyote, or rabbit will cross your path.

And all you have to do is pay attention!
