15 Ways The Universe Sends You Messages – Signs To Look Out For

You are not an isolated being, cut off from the rest of reality. You are connected to the universe in countless intricate ways like threads woven through your very being. And it is through these threads that the universe can send you messages.



1. Recurring Experiences



2. Dreams



3. Animals



4. Patterns Of Numbers



5. Synchronicity



6. Losing/Finding/Breaking Objects

Our relationship with the things we possess is strong; we see ourselves and our lives among the objects we live with and around.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that the universe may send messages through these tokens. When we lose something, find something, or break something, it can signify various different things.

Finding something is quite often designed to jog a memory within your mind, while breaking something is often seen as a sign that you need to let go of the past.

7. Recurring Words/Phrases

Much like when repeated experiences occur over a short space of time, when you encounter a particular word or phrase again and again in quick succession, it usually means something. It might be a very specific message or something a little more subtle, but consider these words as clues to figure out.

8. Pain And Illness

Pain doesn’t always result directly from a particular incident, and illnesses won’t necessarily have an obvious source. Yet, it is not uncommon for both of these things to symbolize something else in your life.

The location of the pain or the type of illness might have a hidden meaning, something that you ought to pay close attention to.

9. Songs/Music/Lyrics

Have you ever woken up and instantly had a song in your head? Or have you been going about life when all of a sudden you hear a specific piece of music?

Our minds often create complex associations between music and our emotions. The universe can then use specific songs, tunes or lyrics to convey important information to you.

10. Weather

The weather in a particular area is something that many people experience simultaneously, so you might be wondering how it can possibly be a message from the universe.

Well, it’s not the weather in general that matters, but what you notice and when you notice it. So if your concentration is broken by the sound of hail on your windows, it is a sign that you need to take a break from whatever you are doing.

Similarly, if you have a yearning for a particular type of weather, it can tell you a lot about your state of mind. If you long for a storm, for instance, it might signify that you feel the need to wash away recent events, to cleanse yourself of them.

11. Unexpected Meetings

Have you ever found yourself in a chance meeting with someone who just so happens to be the ideal person for your current predicament? Maybe you had just decided on quitting your job to become a personal trainer when you meet someone at a friend’s party who did the same thing a few years earlier.

This sort of occurrence is often the universe confirming what is or isn’t the right track for you to be on (depending on the advice given by the other person).

12. Emotions That Are Out Of Place

Our feelings can be very important messengers, but when it comes to passing on directions from the universe, it is those emotions that seem out of place that hold the most importance.

So, for example, if you are in a safe place, but suddenly feel overcome with unexplained fear and trepidation, there might be good reason to be extra cautious.

13. Unusual/New Words

It might be that the universe is struggling to convey a particular message to you, and so it might choose to expose you to unusual, new, or novel words that make you stop in your tracks.


14. Smells

Our minds will come to associate certain people or events with various different smells over the course of our lives. You might not be aware that these links even exist until you encounter an unexpected scent which leaves a powerful image in your mind.

When you come across these more unusual smells, it might be the universe trying to remind you of something or someone that has particular relevance to a situation you face in the present.

15. Gut Feelings

It is worth repeating that your unconscious mind is so much more in tune with universal vibrations than your conscious is. So when you learn that your gut is another potential messenger to pay close attention to, it should seem only natural.

Your instincts and intuition often express themselves through a feeling in the gut and these feelings are products of an active unconscious mind that is relaying a message from the beyond.
