Messages/ insights
and how we receive them
Messages/ help from our HIgher Self/ Guides/ universe come through different ways.
Before talking about messages however, lets quickly explore who the Higher Self, the Spirit Guides and similar are. You probably heard different names/ terms that describe non physical entities, consciousness, such as God/ Super Consciousness/ Source/ Universe, Angels, Archangels, Guardian Angel, Spirit Team, Higher Self and many more. Guardian Angel(s), Spirit Team, etc. , who “support” and “work with you” directly throughout your life can be combined into one term/ category of “Guidance system” or “Guidance Team” or simply “Guides”.
“Higher Self” can be described as a greater part of you. It encompasses all that you are “outside” of your physical body and your personality. It is part of you that is connected to Universe/ Source and knows everything about you and so much more. It is …your essence… in a way and it guides you as well.

Everything is an extension of Source/ God in different expressions, including you.
We are always supported, protected and loved. However being here on this planet Earth, we feel separated from Source and can get lonely, confused, lost, frustrated, etc. Especially at those times, we desire guidance, support, and answers to our questions from something larger than us.
And to respond to perhaps already forming in your mind question “ How about bad things that happen to us?” The answer is that it is a learning experience, which we came here to go through, to grow from and expand and we chose it prior to incarnating.
However the help is never given against our free will, unless it completely contradicts your predetermined (by you) life’s course. So, you need to ask. It could be an out loud request/ questions or in your mind.
So, how do we receive responses to our questions, to our pleas and quests? How do we get messages from our our guides/ Higher Self/ Universe? It could be simply an inkling that you have. Repetitive thoughts. An intuition. A stranger passing by and saying something that seem to be connecting to what you were thinking about. A book recommended by a friend, which will help in your quest. A number on the clock or a building that you suddenly noticed when you passed it by. An insect that flew by or landed on you. An animal or birds that somehow draw your attention. A smell that came from nowhere that reminded you of something or someone.
You can also receive messages through meditation, drawing, music, sounds, or “direct” connection to your Higher Self/ Guides be that through writing, simply talking or other means.
We just need to be open to them. You can even talk to a tree, wind, Sun. The Source/ God is everywhere and is in everything. Therefore love and “help” are everywhere and are expressed in everything.
…Here are just some examples of the way the messages came across for me…
Umbrella/ A thought
One sunny morning, before leaving for work I suddenly “heard”/ thought of “an umbrella”. It was kind of random and what could be described as a “loud" thought. I was already by the door and could see how beautiful, sunny with clear sky day seem starting to be. So I decided against taking the umbrella.
Well, the weather has changed drastically that day and, needless to say, I was drenched later coming home from work.
This one was just a simple thought that came to my mind and it was so easy to ignore due to perceived desirable circumstances. It was nothing major, but if I have listened to the message/ my intuition my life could have run smoother or, in this case, drier that day. :)
Open your heart/ a sign
This one was absolutely literal. In summer of 2016, I was walking on the streets of Manhattan and suddenly saw a window display with words written on the top “Open your heart. It takes courage.”. It has been “my theme” that started around that time. Pretty cool, huh?
have a Heart open/ A song
Another encounter with a similar message happened at around the same time. I used to drive about an hour or more to/ from my work. And since the trip was long, I used to connect with my Guides/ Divine while driving.
So once, after such connection, while thinking about my friend and how and why we are connected, as I turned the radio on, the first thing I heard was “have a heart open” as part of the famous “Fight song”.
That part goes like this: “Like a small boat on the ocean sending big waves into motion. Like how a single word can make a heart open. I might have only one match but I can make an explosion.”
Those words rang true. Even small acts that we do can have a great impact on the world around. And sometimes a single word can ignite Light and passion for life back for your friend or even a stranger and you might not even realize how transformative that fleeting moment of exchange was.
message of encouragement/ Foggy Mirror
My spirit was low one morning, as I had gotten somewhat discouraged a night before. After taking a shower, when I looked at the mirror, which was foggy, I saw some images in the smudges. At the bottom there was a female figure with dark hair down on the ground, trying to get up. Above her was something that reminded me of an Angel with big wings spread out. And above that, there was light like smudge. The way I interpreted this was as an encouragement. Not to give up. That there is help available – Angel and higher beings are with you always.
It also looked like a transformational cycle to me as well. As when that woman gets up straight, believing in herself and her light, and persists on working on herself, she will then become Angel like/ a higher being. And still “higher” yet there is a pure light she will transform into at the next evolutionary step.
As we acknowledge and fully accept our divinity, we become (as we already are in the way) Angels/ Higher Selves in the physical bodies.
… That it is how I interpreted those smudges. :) And, of course, it also meant that I needed to clean my mirror. LOL.
God’s playfullness/ Fun in the Sky
Those pictures taken a year apart show God’s playfulness. A sky as canvas to paint whatever she/ he desires for our pure pleasure and to be awestruck.
It was a gorgeous day on October 14th of 2015. While riding on a ferry home after work, I witnessed an amazing fun show/ display in the sky. Like being in the happy kid’s land, I saw the sky full of fun animals - dinosaurs, fish, whales, crocodiles, and other mythical creatures. You could not make it up. It was truly magical. They were everywhere. Even now, as I am writing this, I feel happy goosebumps all over my body and a pure joy.
On September 10 of 2016, I saw a beautiful amethyst dragon in the sky (her head) watching over/ checking in. It is truly amazing how we can be reminded to have fun, to be a child like, to believe in magic and to believe that everything is possible.
