Recognizing a sign from Spirit? How do you know that a sign from your deceased loved ones is a sign? In this article, we discuss how to identify messages and signs from your loved ones.

When your loved ones cross-over into Spirit, they are just as eager to get your attention as you are to get theirs.

Countless times, they attempt to send you signs, visit you in dreams and show up as a presence in your life to demonstrate to you they haven't died, but rather, they've shifted form.

There may be a short period after your loved one crosses over in which they acclimate to their new environment and spiritual conditions and are unable to visit.

This is called the life review. 

Afterward, your loved ones are free to come back, visit, and socialize with you whenever it is right and needed. 

One of the things those in Spirit proclaim as their favorite part about being in Spirit is they can spend time with and visit you far more frequently than when they were alive.

But how do you know when they're around?

There are three primary ways to determine when a sign from a Spirit is a sign from a Spirit.

When it comes to recognizing a sign from a loved one, part of it is removing any of the barriers you have to connect, and the other part is understanding what may be happening.

So, without further ado... 

3 Tips To Recognize A Sign From A Loved One

1. Know receiving a sign is like receiving a compliment

A Sign feels good to receive. You usually get a good feeling reverberating through your body when a sign is received. 

Physical signs are often confirmed by a feeling of all worry being pushed out of your body. They usually appear with an overwhelming or sudden sense of peace. 

When a Spirit sends you a sign, they are sending you special love note and attention, specifically to make you feel better and to let you know they value and care for you. 

Same intention as a compliment. 

You are worthy of receiving messages from The Spirit World, just as worthy as any other being. You have someone in The Spirit World who believes you are worthy of reaching. And you do.

Everyone does.

One of the most common emails I used to receive from readers on the blog is about a sign they received from a loved one, wanting to know if this could be a sign and if it is, who they think is giving it. 

When you receive a sign, you'll feel it, and most people get an instant flash of knowing as to who may have been behind it.

You are worthy of receiving gifts from spirit people both living and crossed over, and sometimes these gifts are signs that feel good, like compliments. 

2. Know Spirit people are creative with their signs

If you have asked your mother to send you Spring flowers, as a sign, or your favorite floral scent, and you haven't left the house yet, know Spirit can get creative. 

You may get people sending you flower emojis or even invitations to flower shows. 

Perhaps you asked to be visited by pennies placed in your path, and you have yet to notice a penny placed directly in your footsteps. 

But yesterday, at the children's science museum, a little boy ran up to you and showed you a pressed penny he made, placing it right in your face.

Know The Spirit World can get inventive with the format of their signs. 

So if you ask for a sign, know you can get one in an out of the box way. 

No need to overcomplicate the sign, pay attention to how it feels when you get it and stay open. 

In other words, your loved ones are creative with the signs they send you to remind you of their presence, and they do follow trends on getting these messages to you. 

Does your loved one have a classic thing that is so something they would do? 

Your loved ones are creative in their sign sending, and they want to lift your heart. Thus, often their signs are filled with a sense of their humor.

The sign they send may be unique to them or the situation at hand. 

3. Know you may not receive physical signs at all

Back in the olden days of Victorian Mediumship, physical knocks and cracks were the popular signs. These days, some signs are more inductive, meaning their messages may involve more a feeling or a dream.

Your loved ones may be visiting you with an actual presence.

Perhaps, rather than sending you coins and flowers and cardinals, they are just coming and hanging out in your energy realm instead. 

This is a ubiquitous alternative to physical sign sending. Your loved ones want to still be in your presence as much as you still want them there, so you may sense them clairsentiently.

So to recap, to recognize a sign - 

• Know it will usually be validated by a good feeling when you receive it

• Pay attention to the creativity of Spirit

• Be open to non-physical signs such as dreams and awarenesses helps you connect regardless of where you are
