Unusual Ways Your Soul Speaks to You
You can't rely on the mind alone
As easy as it would be for all of us, the soul or the higher self does not speak to us in human language. Soul guidance is not an everyday thing for most of us.
Most people do not even know that their soul might be trying to connect with them to guide them to achieve their highest potential.
Because of societal conditioning, we rely solely on our minds to interpret our reality.
By only relying on our mind alone, we miss the big picture — we miss the signs the soul is trying to communicate with us.
By thinking we can only rely on our minds to interpret situations, we ignore and we doubt any sacred form of communication that we receive.
How can we begin to tune into the subtle voice of the soul and rewire our conditioned brains to listen? How can we listen to the vital messages our soul needs us to hear?
If you’d like to learn the ways your soul or higher self might be trying to communicate to you, you must first pay attention to the random signs that show up your way.
There are many ways the soul communicates with us, and I have put together some main ones to look out for.
1. Music
Soul music. That makes sense. Our soul speaks to us through music because music can speak to us.
Have you ever had such a terrible day you turn on the radio and the music seems to bring you comfort — a reassurance that it will be ok? Or have you felt stuck trying to make a decision and the lyrics of the song are exactly what you need to hear to decide?
The soul uses the words of a song to relay messages to us. Music has a way to our hearts. Music, because of its deep connections with the brain, is meaningful to humanity. We thrive off it. It even drives our actions and emotions.
To hear your soul through music, take a deep breath and allow the music to flow through you.
2. Repetitive Numbers
How many times have you looked at the clock and seen 11:11, 9:11, 10:10? Number synchronicity is the most common way your higher self communicates with you. It is not always a coincidence.
Regardless of the meaning we assign these numbers, they function to wake us up.
When I am not in alignment with my life purpose, I stop seeing the numbers. So next time you see a repeated number, ask yourself, what is the hidden message? There always is.
Whenever I see a repeated number constantly, I take it as a sign my soul is telling me I am in alignment.
3. Animals
We come across spirit animals every day. When you pay attention to these animals, you realize that each one has a specific message for you. The meaning you assign to different animals is highly personal to you, so go with your gut.
Observe the animals you constantly see — watch how they behave around you.
For example, you might constantly see loud and agitated ravens. The message you might assign to these spirit animals could be that you need to pay more attention to your suppressed emotions.
Pay attention to when animals appear, how they appear, and your thoughts at the time they appear to you.
4. Synchronicity
Have you ever had a series of events happen in a way that seemed out of the ordinary? For example, you turn on the radio and the lyrics to the song playing is the same thoughts you were just thinking or just read on a billboard?
Synchronicities happen when our inner and outer worlds align. Nothing happens by chance.
Synchronicity is a way your soul lets you know you are on the right path.
5. Gut feelings
A gut feeling is an unexplainable sensation that tells you to do or not do something. Another synonym for gut feeling is intuition.
We all know what intuition is, but most of us don’t always listen to our intuition. We ignore and we doubt it but our soul communicates to us through our intuition.
Careful not to confuse your intuition with your fearful inner critic. Your intuition will never make you feel scared. It won't be loud, aggressive, or threatening. Your intuition is calm and subtle.
Intuition is the voice that knows no words.
6. Dreams
Our dreams are full of messages and are a wonderful way to receive guidance from your soul. When the thinking mind falls asleep, our soul surfaces in our dreams where it leaves us messages.
Dreams are the most common way for the soul to communicate with you. The scenario, the place, and the people all hold meaning.
It is a way to explore the hidden realms of the unconscious mind. They can serve as a doorway to new insight and information and reflect our true inner feelings.
They can show us the pain in our unconscious that needs to be healed.
Dreams express important messages and truths about our lives and our life purpose.
7. People
Another vehicle for soul communication that should not be underestimated is the people who come in your life. Sometimes people close to us have important messages for us.
You might come across someone who says the one thing you need to hear. Or a total stranger who says something in a random conversation that inspires you to look at life a little differently.
The soul can also communicate to us through something a person says on a podcast, the radio, or even an article you read that mentions something you desperately need to hear.
People are messengers.
8. Movies
Have you ever watched a movie where someone gives advice or tells someone something and it’s as if they are speaking to you?
Have you ever finished watching a movie and you can't stop thinking about a specific message?
It could be your soul trying to tell you something in words you can understand. The soul can sometimes use the words of a movie to communicate with us when we keep missing the other signs.
Pay Attention
The Soul will often use several of these to convey its message, especially when you keep missing the signs. The human language cannot delve into the depths of the soul.
Your soul has gotten your attention and you are receiving messages. Great, but now what? Now you have work to do.
Your work is to create room to reflect and decode the meaning of the messages. You can use meditation. You can journal, or take a walk in the park to reflect on the messages you are receiving, so you can interpret them and take action.
