Dear Ones,
You must pay attention to the signals that you are receiving at all times from the Universe and from those advisors who are wishing to help you live a more conscious life. There are always signals. You might dismiss them as coincidence or happenstance. You might not always recognize that they are indeed signs from your personal guidance channels, but they are available to you when you look for them.
You might ask why this is so important. Don’t you know? How often have you felt that you are adrift alone in a sea of confusion? Have you ever wondered where there might be guidance for you? We would have you understand that all that is around you can be a source of information for you.
In many traditions the animals are carriers of messages. It is often the qualities or characteristics of the animal in nature that are reflected as the information that carries a message for you. When you see an eagle can you ask yourself how you can use the extraordinary vision of an eagle to pierce a veil over your own eyes about some situation in your life? When you see a gentle deer eating grass in a field, can you ask if you need to be gentle with yourself or another? These are the kinds of questions that you can ask yourself to use the quality of an animal in nature as a guide for you in that moment.
When you ask for guidance, do you pay attention to what happens next in your life? Have you ever asked for information to help you make a decision and then seen something in the media that relates to the question you just asked? Or have you received a phone call from a friend or loved one telling you something that relates to your question?
These are not coincidences, Dear Ones! These are messages. They might be subtle or they might be obvious, but the messages are there. Some people see their answers in headlines or billboards or TV notices. Others watch cloud formations and see the answers there. Some people use cards or pendulums or other tools. Still others set up tests by asking for a particular sign. Some people ask for something impossible to confirm what they are thinking. There are many avenues.
The important message for us to convey here is that YOU have opportunities throughout your day to receive guidance from sources beyond your usual ones. All that is unfolding about you in any given day has meaning for you. There are no accidents. Every animal that crosses your path, every piece of jewelry that you use to adorn your body, the color of clothes that you choose to wear on a particular day. All of these have meaning in your life.
Have you ever been in a group and had several people in that group wearing the same color clothing? Do you think that is an accident or do you think that something greater is at work? We would tell you that it is always the latter. There is an energy about each day that sensitive people can pick up on and they will choose to wear a color that reflects that energy, even when that choice is an unconscious one. At other times, a particular person will need the support of the energy of a different color and will wear something that others are not wearing. This, too, is a way of demonstrating that the guidance for that individual reflects what they need at that moment.
Jewelry is another way that one can ‘tune in’ to the energy needed at a particular time. Crystals and gems and minerals carry specific energy with them and those who have a selection of jewelry from which to choose each day may find themselves feeling led to choose particular jewelry for particular situations, again, even unconsciously. There are many books that speak of the qualities of different gems but the books are not the authority for what one needs in a given moment – the guidance from the Universe will lead an individual to choose what is needed if one allows it to.
And there is the key: Each day, allow the Universe to guide you to your messages. Trust that everything around you has significance. Tune in to see what color you should wear, what jewelry or crystals you should have in your own energy field that day. The more you practice this the more ‘tuned in’ you will become. And pay attention to what happens around you each day. What animals are in your sphere? What words do you keep hearing today?
Then ask, ‘What is the message in this for me?’ There is a blessing for you in paying attention to these messages!
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Pay Attention to the Signs
May 11, 2010 — RosemaryIsn’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!
