Here are signs that suggest a loved one might be trying to reach out:
1. You feel their presence
You may suddenly feel a chill or experience goosebumps all over your body. Some individuals believe they can sense when a deceased loved one is near.
2. Dreams
Pay close attention if you have vivid, recurring dreams where your loved one appears, repeating the same message.
Dreams are often considered the most common way to connect with them. As we sleep, it's said that our vibrational energy increases, aligning with the higher frequencies spirits are thought to inhabit.
3. Presence at Funerals
While mourning at funerals, with memories still vivid, you might sense the soul of your loved one trying to communicate with you.
You may even feel a touch or gentle caress on your skin. Psychic James Van Praagh suggests that many people sense their loved ones at their funerals, offering comfort and closure.
4. Animals
Animals are often noted for their sensitivity to energies unseen by humans. Unusual behavior in pets without any clear cause could be interpreted as sensing a deceased's presence.
5. Numbers
Observing significant numbers related to your relationship, such as a birthday or anniversary, may indicate that your loved one is reaching out to you.
6. Peripheral Visions
While deeply contemplating your loved one, you might catch a glimpse of them in your peripheral vision, only to look around and find no one there.
7. Misplaced Objects
Finding objects lost or in unusual places can also signify that your loved one is attempting to communicate with you. They may move a shared photograph or a personal gift.
8. Songs
It may seem coincidental, but hearing a special song associated with your loved one on the phone, TV, or radio might be their way of reaching out to you.
Often, experiencing the presence of a departed loved one can serve as a comforting method to alleviate grief.
Research involving elderly widows and widowers in Wales revealed that 39 percent continued to sense their partner's presence, 14 percent reported visual sightings, 13 percent heard their voice, and 3 percent experienced a sense of touch.
Kerrie Erwin, a professional medium, energy worker, and author, suggests that communicating with the deceased is a unique talent.
“When I connect to a spirit I often get names, how they died, and they often just want to give me messages to loved ones as death is never the end and love is eternal. It is not unusual to have long conversations about their concerns with living in this life. Spirits also always have messages to give loved ones.”
There are various methods to feel connected with your deceased loved ones:
Attempt communication through meditation or dreams.
Consult a medium or have them mediate on your behalf.
Talk to them out loud.
Hold an item they once owned and reflect deeply on your memories with them.
Rebecca Rosen, the author of “What the Dead Have Taught Me About Living Well”, claims:
“Setting the intention to be open to the signs is your best strategy for noticing them. While they may feel small and easy to dismiss at first, signs from the Other Side often increase in frequency and size when they are focused on and acknowledged.”
