Many people have reported being contacted by a spirit through various means. Upon entering a room, they might feel a rush of cold air or hear a song on the radio that their loved one always played. Some people may interpret these as coincidences
But others feel an angel or spirit guide from beyond wants to send them a message. These guides help us along our path in life and make sure we choose only to allow things that support our highest good.
Here are nine signs a spirit is trying to contact you:
Sometimes you might see repeating numbers or notice signs on a billboard with a message you need to hear. Other times, you might just read a page in a book that jumps out at you. No matter where or how you receive the message, know that if it resonates deeply in your soul, the universe wants you to know about it. Below, we’ll review some surefire signs that an angel or spirit wants to connect with you.
1 – You feel deeply moved by something you read in a book or elsewhere.
Sometimes, spirits try to get our attention through written words on a billboard, in a book, or maybe even in an advertisement. Spirits operate in higher realms, and since they can’t physically talk to us, they must use different mediums, such as technology or books to communicate with us. Have you ever read a passage in a book that just moved you to tears or overwhelmed you with joy? Maybe your guides know that you’ve been looking for a sign of hope lately and decided to reassure you through the novel you’ve been reading.
Perhaps the universe wants you to bookmark that page for future reference because it contains an important message for your journey here on Earth. Or, maybe your angels or guides directed you to turn the TV on a particular channel and hear a message from an actress at just the right time. Another scenario might have you driving along the freeway and noticing a billboard with an inspirational or motivational message such as “Just keep going.” Some people pay to put those messages up because they know so many people need hope and encouragement in today’s world.
No matter how you get the messages, written words can be a powerful way for spirits to communicate with you. If you feel they’re trying to send you a sign, pause for a moment in your day and reflect on what your guides want you to know.
2 – You find bird feathers in your driveway or yard.
Any bird feathers, especially from a hawk or eagle, signify that an angel or spirit wishes to grace you with their presence. Feathers serve as tokens or presents from your guides, letting you know that you are not alone and that they’re watching over you. You can take comfort and peace in knowing that you have an angel nearby who wants to reassure you as you navigate this often cruel and confusing world.
In the Native American culture, feathers symbolize a gift from the Creator and high honor. It also embodies the qualities of trust, wisdom, power, strength, and freedom. Native Americans earned a feather when they won a battle or showed bravery in war, and if a feather fell from the sky, they believed it carried with it powerful energy from the Great Spirit. They think that eagles, in particular, have a lot of power and good energy because of their strength and bravery. Therefore, they hold eagle feathers in high regard if one falls on their land.
3 – Small amounts of change like pennies, nickels, and dimes.
Sometimes, angels like to give us encouragement and comfort through monetary means. This gift shows they want to support you emotionally and financially because of the good karma you’ve incurred. So, if you see a penny or even quarters nearby, take that as a sign from your spirit guide that you have chosen the right path and your kind thoughts and actions have been rewarded.
4 – You smell certain scents when you walk into a room.
Sometimes, our angels like to overwhelm our senses with a powerful aroma to help us recall fond memories or remember our loved ones. Maybe you walk into your house and immediately smell your mom’s favorite perfume. You think she is there, only to find the house empty just as you left it. How can you explain this? Most people can only point to the spirit world to make sense of this phenomenon.
Spirits love to comfort us through certain smells, such as aromatic roses or gardenias. You probably have a spirit guide nearby if you smell something out of the blue without any other explanation.
5 – You have powerful, vivid dreams.
Spirits love to convey messages through our dreams, and this mode of communication comes most readily to them. As one of their favorite tools, our guides like to deliver powerful messages when our subconscious mind can better absorb them. During our sleeping state, the usual stimuli of life gets shut off, and our dreams get our full attention. Some common ideas that spirits like to give us include the following:
- hopes of seeing a deceased loved one
- fantasy dreams, perhaps where we’re a hero that gets to save the planet
- thoughts about dying (usually interpreted as the end of a chapter in our life)
- dreams about flying
- end of the world dreams (maybe you feel uneasy about certain aspects of your life. These usually mean there’s a level of uncertainty you think)
Whenever you have vivid dreams such as these, write them in a notebook when you wake up. Dreams can carry powerful messages from beyond that spirits deliver into our subconscious.
6 – You see orbs.
While some people believe that orbs are nothing more than pieces of dust reflected in the sunlight or flash of a camera, others believe that spheres are spirits. If you notice these in a recent picture you’ve taken or just while walking through your house, take note of any other sensations you feel. Maybe the room gets a little chilly, or you sense a presence with you.
7 – Certain songs keep replaying on the radio.
Spirits also love to communicate through music. If a spirit wants to contact you and knows that you deeply resonate with songs, it will direct your attention to a particular station or song that speaks to you. When you hear a song that moves you or stirs up positive emotions, know that an angel wants you to listen to the message in the music for a reason. The vibrations in the music can affect us in either a positive or negative way, so if you feel joy after hearing a song, your angels or guides want to send you comfort and good energy.
8 – You feel a spirit near you when you enter a room.
Do you sometimes feel light touch or caress on your shoulder but don’t feel freaked out? A benevolent spirit will make you feel at ease when it enters a room and will want to draw near you to send specific messages. Usually, spirits reserve these close encounters for times you feel deep sorrow or depression, perhaps over the recent loss of a loved one. If you feel the room getting hotter or colder with no explanation, or you feel a subtle touch on your shoulder, know that a spirit wants to contact you for a specific reason.
9 – More synchronicities are happening in your life.
Maybe you see repeating numbers on a clock or notice the right people keep showing up in your life at just the right time. These synchronicities happen when we tap into the universe’s flow, and everything seems to fall into place. As we increase our frequency, things seem to flow much easier, and we don’t have to put in as much effort for things to go our way.
Final thoughts about signs a spirit is contacting you
Spirits love to communicate with us differently to deliver specific essential messages that our souls need to hear. Standard methods of communication include books, songs, coins, dreams, certain scents, bird feathers, and visual light energy like orbs. Spirits may also show themselves through manifesting synchronicities, lightly touching you on the arm or shoulder, or making a room hotter or colder with their energy.
No matter how a spirit or angel contacts you, remember that any of these signs have a positive connotation. You have selected the right path in life, and your guides have come to reassure you!
