How To Recognise Signs From Nature

In a world full of chaos, we easily forget that we're surrounded by signs from the universe that provide guidance and answers to our questions and emotions. By stopping and taking a moment to reflect on our surroundings and really looking, we can clearly see the array of signals from the universe.

The universe is always talking to you, but are you listening? Follow this guide to learn how to recognise universal signs amongst nature.

Reconnect With The Mind And Body

Before being able to recognise signs from the universe, it is important to fine tune your sensitivity to yourself. Pay attention to physical sensations and what they mean, perhaps how they correlate with emotions and your mental health. Often physical sensations are our first sign pointing to how we are feeling. In reflecting on how your mind and body respond to certain situations, you will be better able to recognise signs from outside. Remember, the universe and you are one, which means that for a true sign from the universe to appear, you must have a clear, connected and grounded mentality.

Open Yourself Up To Receive

Often when we ask the universe questions, we hold preconceived ideas about what these answers will be. In order to fully receive guidance, we must clear our minds of these ideas and ground ourselves completely. A tried and tested way of doing this is through breathing exercises and meditation, training the mind to focus on how the atmosphere travels through the body rather than any anxieties.

Remember that ultimately the universe is guiding you to be your best self. If you're not ready to receive, you won't. Make sure you're being honest with yourself before seeking guidance and ask yourself if you're willing to change.

Open yourself up to receive guidance. Be willing to accept the answers shown to you no matter how they appear, even if they aren't what you expect or spark changes that may cause anxieties at first.

Pay Attention

There are no limits to how the universe may send you guidance. It could be as simple as a sudden change in weather or repeated sightings of a certain animal. A common sign from the universe is the butterfly, often signalling a loved one is close by and watching over you. Alternatively it could be a flock of bird flying above your head, suggesting you should explore travelling or escape for a while.

Make sure you're paying more attention to the nature around you. Why ask a question if it'll just be ignored? Watch your environment closely, you'd be surprised the things you could easily have missed.

Note Down Reoccurring Experiences

Do you ever notice the same things appearing day after day? As you begin to take more notice of the environment around you and your experiences, you may notice a repeated gut feeling or emotion. Take note of this, making sure to describe your surroundings and what led you to this experience. This will make it easier to identify the guidance from the universe upon later reflection. You may be surprised at what you find is repeated in all these experiences.

The universe is not subtle. What you need to hear will be loud and clear. Although we may not be able to recognise these signs immediately, it doesn't mean that they're not there. These messages will be sent repeatedly until we understand them.

Although it can be difficult to always recognise guidance presented to us amongst nature, the intelligence of the universe knows no bounds. It will always be connected to you and seeking to strengthen its connection with you.
