There are many symbols in the world that humans attach meaning to. In fact, symbolism is one of the ancient languages of the world. While they can represent human activity and industry, there are symbols that are used in healing, to represent emotions and to communicate between races; i.e. are universally understood.

The symbol of the Lotus Flower is one such symbol that relays the message of peace. It has long been used in spiritual practice, and in many practitioner’s logos, to convey peace, calm and a loving presence. The lotus floats on water while being anchored to Earth, and with the element of water being a symbol of emotion, to see a lotus on water can be taken to mean that grounding and allowing flow will help you to stay on top of emotional turmoil!

Signs and symbols as messages from your guides are all around you, should you take the time to stop, look and listen. Even when you feel disconnected and dispirited, your guides are always with you, attempting to connect and

communicate with you. Whether it is through touch or bodily sensations, sounds or words, smells, visions, a song or numbers that keep recurring, your guides are there to help you. So start noticing!

    Spirit can also infiltrate your dreams to help you to unravel problems, past trauma or other issues that are affecting your life. They can also give you messages to guide you forward through the stories that play out in normal or abnormal settings. If this is the case for you, having a dream diary at hand can be very useful.

If your spirit guides can use signs and symbols to communicate, so can humans. Many historians and archaeologists will know the significance of symbols used in everyday life today, many of which humans do not spare a second glance, and not all of them are well meaning or without dark intentions.

So how can you understand what spirit is trying to tell you?

Of course, there are many books and internet resources that can help, but their advice is generic and not all written meanings will relate to your particular message!

The first thing would be to begin to journal the signs and symbols that you see, hear, feel or dream. Discount nothing and write it all down for at least a week.

The second important thing to do is to begin to notice the vibration of things that have recently occurred and if they are continuing to occur, despite you trying to change your own behaviour or other circumstances. For instance, are people treating you poorly, despite you having done nothing wrong? Do you keep breaking things, falling over or having minor accidents?  Is a   relationship, work situation or friendship suddenly taking a turn for the worse after you have done a self-improvement course, some professional learning or taken a holiday? If nothing is going right, it’s time to reflect and notice a) what the patterns are and b) how you have been feeling about that particular situation. Everything happens for a reason, and the push from Spirit is urging you to take action.

Change and transition is messy, but any signs from Spirit will be to

help you to create a better environment and reality so you can reach your full potential. Sometimes other people will get hurt and there may be a loss of some kind. Keep tuning into your intuition and how it feels, because endings spark new beginnings, but nothing new can come in until the old has been released.

So, take notice of the signs and symbols that keep cropping up. It may just change your life!
