Wondering what Spirits want when they’re around?
Sensing that you’ve entered into a new level of awareness and can now perceive Spirit?
In this post, we’ll discuss how to sell what a Spirit is trying to tell you -
If you can sense, feel, or see Spirit, the whole Spirit World knows about it, and they’re excited.
Whether you’ve recently opened up or you’ve had the ability since you were four, there are times when the gift becomes more apparent.
When you feel Spirit all around you, it can be due to many things.
Times of year when the veil is thinner, atmospheric conditions or awakening moments that seem to trigger a new level of conscious awareness.
Those in Spirit, such as Spirit Guides, Angels and Loved Ones, spend their entire existence living in and amongst the human world, but just in a slightly higher vibration.
While this is going on, Spirit occasionally actively attempts to get the attention of the humans they look after.
When you have something happening in your life where Spirit wants to add input, they will attempt to send you signs or communicate with you to help you.
Spirit will send number signs, repeating synchronicities in threes, and even messages through others.
They may mess with electronics in your home or influence your dream state.
When Spirit connects with their person for the first time, they can come on strong.
This intense energy feeling is sometimes the fear people feel when a Spirit is present, it’s just a rush of energy coming in.
If you are known to startle easily, have been very jumpy lately, or are prone to sudden rushes of energy, it’s likely an excited Spirit.
A Loved One, Guide, or Angel may be trying to connect with you.
How do you know what a Spirit wants when you sense them around?
Below we'll discuss four ways to find out.
4 Ways To Identify What Spirit Is Trying To Tell You
#4 Tune in and meditate
Sit down and clear your energy. Doing this can bring forward the messages of the Universe.
Meditating leaves room for the Spirits around to share information and step forward into your awareness.
Spirit communicates through symbols and gentle words.
You can tune into the influencing energy around us when we take a moment to breathe.
#3 Validate with a physical tool like Oracle or Tarot Cards
Historically, there are two main types of divination, Ecstatic and Inductive.
One can divine using the static energy of the space (ecstatic), and the other uses physical tools (inductive). Best of all, you can use both together in harmony.
These tools can co-validate or double-validate the energy you perceive, getting Spirit’s messages to you in a tangible form, by bringing the message in front of you.
I like to use cards when delivering messages to others too, as it helps put some space between me and the receiver, plus physically, it better illustrates what I’m receiving energetically.
#2 Look for the spiritual message behind synchronistic events
Spirit often will communicate to people by putting repeat events until it clicks.
Take some time to think about repeating occurrences and see if there is a more profound message.
Sometimes Spirit is trying to tell you what energy to move away from or what energy is no longer healthy for you.
They will attempt to get the message through to you by any means necessary - through nature signs, synchronistic circumstances and even other people (remember each person is an aspect of Divine Creation).
Spirit Guides and Angels are all about guiding you towards bliss.
So occasionally they send repeating events, giving you a chance to identify how Divine Messages feel, when received via various ways.
In this way, they aren’t telling you what to do, but presenting you clues that can help you make the choice of where you want to go with your life.
Sometimes Spirit will have you repeat events or meetings with people to show you how far you’ve come since meeting this person last too.
In other words, they can also use Déjà vu as the karmic reset button allowing you to respond in a new way to an old circumstance.
Every so often, all Spirit wants is to show you how proud they are of you, and at times, the only way to do that is to let you see the growth yourself.
#1 Choose an agreed-upon symbol or sign
This is called a calling card. Think of it like a spiritual “bat symbol” that only you and your Spirit Team know about - ideally no one else knows what this symbol is.
You want the sign to be so personal that you can identify it mid-conversation with someone who has no idea what the sign is and make a decision right then based on it.
Your connection to the Divine can be that private and in some cases it’s best it is.
Having a symbol you always use with your Spirit Guides/Angels/Ancestors can also help you eliminate the message from the chaos, giving you a point of calm in any storm.
Take a moment to think about your preferred Spirit symbol - it can be a vision that comes to you in meditation, a word, a physical sign or all three.
This way, next time Spirit wants to tell you something, you have an agreed-upon sign that you know for sure is your cue it’s okay to act.
Then, when you need a message and see the “calling card,” this is an opportunity to tune in and see what the energy around you is trying to tell you.
If you have time, when you receive your chosen sign, take a moment to breathe, call in your energy and go within - see if there’s any inner Divine wisdom there too.
To end, why Spirits make themselves known:

If you feel Spirits around you, this is usually a sign of support from The Spirit World. It could also mean you’re in the middle of a highly intuitive time in your life.
Meaning, your intuition is accurate when you are sensing Spirit Energy. You can trust what you get during times of heightened spiritual awareness like these.
