Signs from the Spirit Side

I was recently in Taiwan for my cousin’s wedding. One of the highlights was when a butterfly landed on the flower girl’s hand (my cousin’s niece) and stayed for awhile. We were in awe of this beautiful moment, but then a family member started to shout excitedly. He remarked that the pattern on the butterfly's wings matched the pattern on my late grandma’s clothes from a photo that my cousin was holding earlier! My cousin’s siblings called out, “Grandma’s here! Grandma’s here! She supports you!” It was a touching moment. Not only because Grandma joined such a special family occasion, but also offered a reminder that love is the most precious gift of all. 

Morale of the story: If Grandma can crash a gay wedding to give her blessings to the two grooms— one a ‘westerner’, the other her Taiwanese grandson, then the matriarch has spoken!

I love these signs sent from the Spirit World. It really is up to us to notice when our passed loved ones are present and understand the meaning for their visit. Typically, passed loved ones use their vibration and frequency to influence electrical gadgets (lights, appliances, radios, phones, anything with an on/off button); nature (ie. butterflies, dragonflies, birds, wind, water, cloud formations, basically any universal element); or placing a thought in a person’s head for them to share a message with you (ie. a random shop cashier saying something that reminds you of your grandpa). Sometimes, we may feel their energy as a warmth, distinct smell (ie. cigarettes if they used to smoke), gentle pressure to a part of our body (because they have leaned into our energy field), a color, or even see them as clearly as if they were alive. 

These visits can be a simple hello, "I see you," or a stronger message. It comes across our path when we are not striving to find it. 

Just like learning a language, the more you understand these occurrences, the more things make sense. The more we acknowledge the unseen, the more it acknowledges us. 

Spirit beings tend to reach out to those who are more sensitive and/or receptive to their presence. In a family, there is usually one in each generation who is more open, or has a psychic/spiritual gift. In a way, they become the ambassador for Spirit!

What experiences have you had from the Spirit side reaching out to you?
