Animals can act as intermediaries and messengers from the other realms.

All animals are sentient beings who can feel, sense, perceive and pick up on information sometimes beyond the scope of known physical processes.  

Depending on the species, plants, animals, and insects can sense, hear and communicate in sounds, and perceive in wavelengths, that are entirely foreign to the scope of our everyday perception as humans. 

Animals, plants, birds, and insects all perceive reality differently than we do. We can increase our perception at any time, by expanding our awareness and tuning into the ethers.

There are times in life when your senses expand, and you become more attuned to the world around you. 

When you start picking up on Animal Signs, this is usually one of those times. 

It is during these times that spirit communications can become evident, reliable, and forthright, and our ability to tune into and become aware of the interconnected world around us is heightened. 

Animals, as sentient beings, can pick up on things going on around us in the unseen world during these times and cue us to what is going on. 

By paying attention to what they do and how they interact with us, we can see how their signs become identifiers to us to things going on in the unseen world around us. 

Cats, dogs, and pets have all been known to perceive things that we have been unable. 

Wild animals can, too. 

This post shows how you can tap into these non-physical messages from physical messengers and know they are real. 

To begin picking up on universal sign and messages delivered through the animal world, notice: 

• What types of birds visit you daily?

• When have you noticed a flux of different insects coming in and around your home?

• What do your house cats usually look at and entertain themselves with during the day and night?

Identify the normalities of the animal behaviors in your life, and in your immediate ecosystem.  

Then you'll be able to notice what is different when something unique like a sign, or messages come in. 

The Universe, Spirit, and Source want to communicate with you, so they do typically make signs stand out. 

To know if an animal sign is really a sign, you're primarily looking for three things: 

How To Know They're Real Signs In 3 Steps

1. Something Unique About The Experience

To be a sign, the interaction in question has to be an abnormal one for you. 

Maybe it has a certain feeling, or it's something that's out of the ordinary for your life.

These are usually the signs, moreover than they are the everyday events. 

2. A Special Shared Moment

Signs often come through special moments you have with other sentient beings. 

There is an energy link that occurs that usually sets off a chain reaction in you. 

Even if it's just a split second when you receive a sign, it often feels like a moment in the Universe has paused. 

It can happen with conscious or unconscious permission from the being, as energy waves are traveling through us all the time. 

3. The Coincidence Has Happened 3-5 Times

I used to tell my Spirit Guides that any time I got a sign more than three times, I'd write a post about it. 

The bigger my blog got, the more nervous I got to post, and then, I asked for five times. Still, they delivered.

When Spirit wants to get a message to you, they are persistent, so to get you to take note, you may have the same occurrence happen a couple of times. 

Those who want to get your attention from the other side will be persistent. If Source notices something is working, they'll do it again. 

Until you perk up, start talking back, and realize what's happening. It's a feedback loop, and they'll keep feeding until you grab the loop. 

Thankfully Spirit Signs usually feel good, so grabbing onto the connection can feel good. When thinking of animal signs, it can be the Spirit of another using the power of their ability to connect through the work of these creatures.

Animal Spirit energy is so pure and natural that they will often work in tandem to get the message through. It also delivers one of their messages, which is typically one of peace. 

Additionally, many spirits prefer physical signs, and if it moves, that maybe even better since it's more likely to catch your attention.

You can specifically ask Spirit to send you a physical sign over an intuitive sign like a dream.

Physical signs can sometimes be more comfortable to perceive at certain times. A sign or a message from an animal, is palpable, like other physical signs such as coins, flowers, and apports. 

This is why you'll notice many visitations involve bold, vibrant visitations - like visits from Cardinals, Blue Jays, or Owls. 

Who sent you this sign? 

Think of the first spiritual support person that comes to mind. This is usually the guide, loved one, or Angel in charge of sending the sign. 

Though, often your whole team works together to sign off on getting messages to you. 

So to recap, how to know a spirit animal sign is a true sign:

1. Notice if the sign felt unique

2. Involved a feeling of connection

3. If it's happened multiple times in a row

All of these can verify that what you're experiencing may be more than coincidence.
