Soul Communication: 7 Ways Your True Self Is Trying To Guide You

Aletheia Luna is one of my favorite authors in this field and is spot on in this article!

by Aletheia Luna,

Shamans, medicine people, mystics and sages throughout the ages have always known that the soul doesn’t speak the human language.

Instead, our souls communicate with us through symbols, metaphors, archetypes, poetry, deep feelings and magic. The human language is far too limiting to express the full spectrum of profound knowledge, insight and revelation that the soul has to share.

As such, most of us were never taught to tune into the dancing rhythms of our deepest selves. Instead, due to our social conditioning we have come to heavily rely on the mind only and its interpretation of reality. Unfortunately, our emphasis on hard data, facts and linear logic has left a gaping hole inside of us. We fill this empty hole with consumerism, addictions, violence and endless distractions.

Sometimes, a traumatic or extreme event in our lives shakes us out of our habitual way of perceiving existence. But usually, most of us tend to miss the big, glaring daily signs that the soul within us is trying to communicate with us. Not only that, but we tend to actively mistrust, ignore or 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? How can we listen to our soul’s vital messages and nourish ourselves with its life-changing wisdom?

Soul Communication: 7 Important Signs to Look Out For

Soul communication isn’t just reserved for medicine men or women, or enlightened people; it is a birth right of every man, woman and child. It is a vital part of soulwork.

For years I lived without the guidance of my soul, actively ignoring it or numbing myself out from its voice. Since reconnecting with my soul, I have discovered that it offers endless gifts, insights, teachings and direction that helps me to connect with my innate wholeness and life purpose.

Observing the people in our society, I’m saddened to see how soulfully emaciated we are. I can immediately tell whether a person has got in touch with their soul or not by the luster in their skin, the glow in their eyes and the type of energy they transmit. Unfortunately, most people are shells of what they could truly become. It’s almost like we are living our lives grabbing at whatever source of warmth we can scavenge, when in truth, we are the fire and warmth we’re seeking for.

If you’d like to learn soul communication, you must first pay attention to the signs that your soul is whispering. There are many types of signs out there, but below I have compiled some of the main ones you should look out for:

1. Dream signs

In the West, psychologists believe that dreams are the unconscious mind’s way of making sense of reality. But in ancient cultures, such as in Egypt and Greece, dreams were messages from the spirits, gods, or divine realm. Many indigenous cultures have also used dreams as a gateway to higher consciousness and revelation (e.g. native Americans).

These days, most healers agree that dreams express important messages and truths about our lives and destinies. In my experience, dreams can serve as doorways to new insight, reflections of true inner feelings, and even portals to interacting with spirit guides.

Pay attention to your dreams and the images, symbols and scenarios within them. What stands out to you? You might like to keep a dream journal and record your immediate impressions. Please note that dream dictionaries can sometimes help you out, but they rarely convey the true message your dream is trying to transmit to you. Why? Dreams and the archetypes/symbology within them are highly contextual and personal. A snake, for instance, could be a positive sign for one person, and a negative sign for another.

2. Lucid dreams

Spontaneous lucid dreams involve suddenly becoming aware that you’re dreaming while asleep. Becoming conscious within your dream world is not only spiritually symbolic (literally of “waking up”), but it is also an opportunity to explore the hidden realm of your unconscious mind. This opportunity from your soul is rare, or it could be constant without any effort on your behalf.

Regardless, it is possible to actively practice lucid dreaming. You might like to learn more about lucid dreaming here.

If you’re in the habit of having spontaneous lucid dreams, treat it as a sacred gift. Very few people have access to the depths of the unconscious realms. Treat this as an opportunity to ask yourself questions and find direction that you wouldn’t be able to otherwise access in waking life.

3. Repetitive words or numbers

How many times have you looked at the clock and seen “11:11,” “12:12,” “13:13”? Many skeptics say that putting importance into repetitive words and numbers is a reflection of something called “confirmation bias,” but I personally don’t believe this is the case. It’s easy to be cynical and use the left-brained approach, but much harder to explore the personal meaning of these experiences.

Regardless of the meaning we assign to repetitive words and numbers, the function of them is to momentarily “wake us up.” Otherwise, why would we give them so much significance? Whenever I see a repeated number or hear a name/word said constantly, I take it as a sign of soul communication.

So whenever you hear a picture, word or number repeated, ask yourself, what is the hidden message?

4. Animal omens and guides

Most of us come across animals every day. When you pay attention to these different animals, you realize that each one has a specific teaching, message or energy type.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the meaning you assign to different animals is highly personal and not necessarily the “orthodox” meaning already established out there. So don’t feel the need to go by the “textbook” definition. Go with your gut.

One way of discovering your own unique meanings is to observe what animals you constantly come across every day. Watch them and try to understand what their teaching is. What are they revealing? How do they behave, move or sound? This is a powerful form of soul communication.

For example, you might constantly come across crows. Watching these crows, you might realize that they are always very loud and agitated. The message you might assign to these animal messengers could be that you need to pay more attention to the emotions you have suppressed so that they can be released.

5. Synchronicity or serendipity

Have you ever had a string of events happen in a way that seemed special or out of the ordinary? You might refer to these events as “serendipity” when in fact they may have been something known as “synchronicity.

What is synchronicity? Synchronicities are moments of meaningful coincidence, where our inner and outer worlds align. Often synchronicity is a good way to tell that you are on the right soul path because everything feels as though it is unfolding without your conscious effort. You might even have the sensation that Life/God is playing an active hand in making your dreams or aspirations come true.

It is my personal belief that nothing happens by chance, and coincidence is an illusion. I believe, at a core soul and spirit level, everything is interconnected. Science attests to the fact that everything is energy. So what is synchronicity? In my mind it is when the vibration of our thoughts matches with the vibration of our personal destinies. Picture a funnel of water: you don’t need to force the water to go through, the water goes through effortlessly.

So watch out for moments of synchronicity — they are powerful reflections that you’re on the right path.

6. Gut feelings

A gut feeling is an unexplainable sensation that tells you to do (or not do) something. Another synonym for this phrase is the word intuition. We all know what intuition is, but most of us have trouble listening to it.

Intuition is different from the inner voice of fear because it is subtle, calm and centered, as opposed to being frantic or aggressive. This is a very important distinction to make. Many people believe they are being guided by intuition when in fact they are being guided by their fearful inner talk.

Intuition, or gut feelings, can be thought of as the voice of our souls communicating to us. Whenever you feel drawn towards something or someone (without a fearful motive), you can be sure that this is your soul trying to guide you.

7. Visions during meditation

Meditation is another way to contact your soul. That calm, spacious, infinitely loving space you have entered before (even for just for a few seconds)? That is your soul space.

Meditating for long periods of time (30 minutes or more) is a powerful way to experience what has been referred to as the mystical experience. One common mystical experience involves tuning into visions or spontaneous names while you’re meditating. These visions or names might be of your current spirit guide, or could directly be a message from your soul.

I’ve even had people tell me that they’ve received unknown songs or melodies during meditation. Personally, I have experienced spontaneous visions and words.

But how can you tell apart normal mental chatter from visions, names or songs from your soul? Typically, the images you see or words you hear will have a specific theme that seems foreign (e.g. it could be from an ancient culture), and they will be very repetitive. You will also have the sensation that somehow they are important for you to pay attention to.

I recommend keeping a meditation journal to record these visions, images, words or songs. This will help you to better articulate what your soul is trying to express.

How to Speak to Your Soul

There are many ways for you to actively communicate with your soul, but that is for another article. In the mean time, I recommend simply saying a daily prayer.

Here is an example you could use, or build on yourself:

“Dear soul, I love you. Thank you for supporting my life. I’m so honored and appreciative of your presence. If you have any messages for me, please communicate them to me. I am open and receptive. I welcome your guidance.”

See how you go with this prayer and ensure that you pay attention to any emotional, physical or mental sensations that arise.

I hope that you’re now more aware of the deep craving of your soul to make itself known to you. Deep down, we all crave for oneness and wholeness. By learning the language of your soul, you can open a sacred doorway into the world of reclaimed strength, beauty, love and innocence.

Any thoughts or questions, share them below.

About Aletheia Luna: I create, I share, I teach, I mentor and I write because it is what my soul tells me to do. I don’t consider myself to be perfect or complete, but I do consider myself to be determined: a warrior, voyager and healer in progress. Like you I make mistakes, I feel vulnerable and fragile – but I work to accept these and hope to help you do the same, to reclaim that powerful, earthshaking wholeness deep inside.

Criminal Minds Season 8 Episode 23 Quotes

Last year, right here, we had a very different celebration, Of life, of love, and good people. This year it's the other side of that. Because, well, that's what families do. It's been a hard year. But tonight, we celebrate a life well-lived, well-loved. To a good woman. An even better mother. To our friend, who I will miss very much.

Richard Bach wrote "The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others' life."

- LG Flatron L1810B LCD Monitor

If you're looking to go all out on your next LCD purchase or you're coming from a 21"+ CRT and dont want to lose much in viewable size, Hexus have checked out a beauty from LG as part of their Flatron range of LCD's. Their L1810B gives you 18.1" to work with and certainly looks the part physically too. Now, if only the response time on these larger LCD's was improved along with a maximum res of 1600x1200, then it'd be one very swish future proof upgrade.

My focus with the LG? To see if the jump in screen size from 17" on the Hercules to 18.1" on the LG would provide any tangible benefits or downsides. Basically, is 1.1" worth nearly £150? Both share the same native resolution and similar operating specifications, so a comparison would be easy to make, despite not having the Hercules on hand for a side by side comparison. I was also keen to see if DVI connection quality was a fallacy. A huge admirer of the analogue quality I was able to obtain with the Hercules, I'm a sceptic when it comes to DVI. While I can understand the benefits on paper, in the real world I wasn't so sure. Tarinder swears blind it's a reality, I was keen to see if his assertions could be vindicated.

NBA West Finals G2: Warriors 118-91 Blowout of Thunder

u4nba Date: May/19/16 15:17:32 Views: 19

Stephen Curry scored 15 points within two minutes to become a turning point in the game, the audience played less than 30 minutes, scored 28 points, 8 three-pointers to vote 5. Craig Thompson 5 of 17 shots, had 15 points, Bradley Richmond Green 10 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, 11 points and Harrison Barnes. Bench played well, Andre Iguodala scored 14 points, Mali MEP Bates scored 13 points, Festus Yize Li 12 points. 8 turns off the bench played, they won a total of 50 points.

Although the Thunder lost, but to grab home-court advantage. Kevin Durant scored 29 points and six rebounds, but eight turnovers, Russell Westbrook had 16 points and 12 assists, Stephen - Adams 9 points and 10 rebounds.

It was a stark contrast from Monday, when Golden State allowed 38 third-quarter and was held to playoff lows of 42 second-half points and 14 in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City’s 14-point comeback in Game 1 was the largest against the Warriors this postseason.

Curry said immediately after Game 1 he couldn’t wait for another chance and the opportunity to overcome dropping the series opener for the first time since 2013. Then, he took out any remaining frustrations from Monday’s loss on the Thunder.

Even if the do-everything MVP gave the entire building a mighty scare when he went diving into the stands at the 2:54 mark of the first quarter before slowly finding his way up in one piece. Curry was sidelined by ankle and knee injuries during the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Golden State are 12-0 in games after a loss this season and 3-0 in the postseason. So far, Portland are the only team to beat the Warriors twice.

    Brief about GDPR (European Data Regulation coming into effect).

    On 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become law in all European member states, including the United Kingdom who will still be a member at that time. Some of you might start to think, with BREXIT this might not be apply, you are wrong. UK Parliament has made it clear (refer to Information Commissioner of UK's website) that GDPR will be applicable even post BREXIT, so don't neglect.

    The new Regulation will replace the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) which was developed at a time when most data processing was still paper-based. There was also a limited understanding of the impact that technology would have on the way we process data.

    The purpose of the GDPR is to:

    • harmonise the EU’s laws surrounding data protection
    • protect all EU citizens’ data privacy
    • re-shape the way organisations across the region approach data privacy.
    In drafting it, the EU’s aim was to design it as a living document and future-proof the wording. They have also made it ‘technology neutral’ which means that the same regulatory principles apply regardless of the technology used

    If you hold information which falls within the scope of the Data Protection Act 1998, it will also fall within the scope of GDPR. The GDPR principles are similar to the DPA, but there is a new accountability requirement – you will have to demonstrate how you comply.

    As of the 25th May 2018, organisations that do not comply will face very heavy fines to the tune of 4% of your global revenues or EUR20 Million whichever is higher. More importantly your customers (whether individuals or corporates) are likely to ask you to comply with GDPR risking your business hence its better to plan ahead and comply.

    It is important to note that GDPR is still a work in progress with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issuing monthly updates on its implementation in the UK (The ICO is the UK’s independent body that upholds information rights).

    Find out more about GDPR on ICO’s website, search for "ICO GDPR" in google.

    Whom does it apply?

    The GDPR applies to ‘controllers’ and ‘processors’. The definitions are broadly the same as under the DPA – i.e. the controller says how and why personal data is processed and the processor acts on the controller’s behalf. If you are currently subject to the DPA, it is likely that you will also be subject to the GDPR.

    The GDPR applies to any business (whether you are a one man army or a larger business) as long as you process (in simple terms "handle") personal data of your customers, employees and business contacts. Your company size, type of data handled, how you process data dictate amount of action you need to take. A corner grocery shop or someone who sells lunch on a van with no personal data being stored or handled is likely to have impact, however if you are a small business and handle personal data (real estate agents, recruitment firms, vehicle dealers, manufacturer, dealer etc..) you will need to take necessary action.

    Handling of data as private citizen (not as business) is not impacted by GDPR.

    The GDPR applies to processing carried out by organisations operating within the EU. It also applies to organisations outside the EU that offer goods or services to individuals in the EU.

    GDPR enforces several requirements on businesses such as, fair and transparent processing, rights of Data Subjects, Legal basis of processing, Breach monitoring and reporting, accountability and governance, guidelines of marketing.

    Any thoughts on likely implications and how to prepare for compliance by small businessess are welcome.

    Good luck.

    I think there’s a hint of Y2K about it. Lots of consultants making a lot of noise in order to sell advice

    Whilst it is theoretically very far reaching it is impossible to know how it will be interpreted or enforced

    My tip would be to apply common sense, keep quiet and watch from the sidelines

    As an aside I’m quite amused how many organisations are scraping dubious data to sell their GDPR services

    Gigha, it would be helpful to know where you are coming from in this thread - are you offering a service, are you a concerned recipient of the changes or something else?

    I agree with Mark partly to not boil the ocean or massive tech investment that is being talked about.

As a mom, one of the biggest challenges we face is taking the time to take care of ourselves. We are not super hero’s as my husband likes to remind me. Our lives are busy, hectic and messy with children. We love them to the moon and back. So let’s take a moment for ourselves. It’s time to refresh in the new year.

Each week I plan to highlight a local business that will help you find time to relax and take care of you. These will be great for expectant moms, new moms or seasoned moms. These are all local businesses that I have made connections with in our community to help you realize the amazing services out there to help you be or not be super mom. Be sure to check in weekly because they are all incredible and different.

The first businesses of the year is SkinSense Spa in Lake Oswego, Jessi at Context Salon and Brittianie of Glam B Goddess. My mom’s birthday is January 1st. So this year I decided to treat her to spa and makeover day. Because who doesn’t love being pampered all day. She was a great sport letting me take photos of her throughout her process.

We started at SkinSense Spa with Debbie.  She is a fellow mother of two and an amazing esthetician. She gave me and my mother an incredible oxygen facial. I have very pale, dehydrated and sensitive skin. It felt amazing especially after the winter chill in the air.

Debbie describes the benefits of oxygen facials. It reverses the environmental pollutants and helps rejuvenates oxygen to starved skin. Unlike many anti-aging facial treatments, Intraceuticals Oxygen treatment have absolutely no down time, side effects or any discomfort after the treatment.  In fact, it's so gentle, you can continue with your normal activities right after the treatment.  It's hugely beneficial getting an oxygen treatment before traveling to dry areas or returning from traveling and before a special event that makes you look well-rested and glowing!

Her spa is beautiful, welcoming and very relaxing. It’s easy to find with great parking. I highly recommend checking her out.

Next on my mom’s spa day was a fresh haircut and some highlights from Jessi at Context Salon. Jessi is also a fellow mom of an energetic and imaginative four year old little girl. Jessi was able to give my mom exactly what she wanted and needed with minimal information. My mom was so happy with her new cut. Jessi shares Context Salon with other and is conveniently located NE Portland.

Last but not least we headed over to my studio to meet-up with Brittainie from Glam B Goddess. She is the sweetest and most gentle person around. She gave my mom a makeover with all of her Younique cosmetics. She walked my mom through what she was doing and have her some great tips. My mom looked absolutely stunning!

Preparations were underway on Saturday for the new US Embassy in Jerusalem's opening ceremony on Monday. The new embassy will open with an initial staff of at least 50. (May 12) AP

As the U.S. Embassy in Israel is set to be moved to Jerusalem in a Monday ceremony, President Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, called the controversial decision a "recognition of reality."

Bolton said Sunday that relocating the embassy from Tel Aviv will "make it easier" to eventually reach a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, even though the region is bracing for large protests.

“If you’re not prepared to recognize that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and that’s where the American Embassy should be, then you’re operating on a completely different wavelength,” Bolton told ABC’s This Week. “Recognizing reality always enhances the chances for peace.”

Trump announced in December his decision to keep a campaign promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and began the process to move the U.S. Embassy there. West Jerusalem is where Israel's government is based. Palestinians view east Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

For that reason, every U.S. president since Israel's founding in 1948 has located the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv.

The decision to move the embassy has been greeted with anger from Palestinians. Gaza’s ruling Hamas movement urged tens of thousands of people to join Monday’s protest to coincide with the embassy opening. The Israeli military said it beefed up forces along the Gaza border and dropped leaflets into the Gaza Strip urging residents to keep their distance from the border fence, the Associated Press reported.

Gaza health facilities said they were preparing for possible mass injuries. Shifa hospital spokesman Ayman Sahbani said Sunday that tents with medical equipment were being set up outside the facility to ease pressure on its 20-bed emergency ward, the AP said. Since late March, 42 Palestinians have been killed in weekly clashes with Israel along the Gaza border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeted the U.S. delegation after it arrived Sunday, including the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. Nethanyahu praised President Trump’s “bold decision” to move the embassy to contested Jerusalem.

The U.S. delegation also includes Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, U.S. Ambassador David Friedman, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, plus Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah and Dean Heller of Nevada.

More: Trump will begin process to move U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, officials say

“We will pray for the boundless potential of the U.S.-Israel alliance & we will pray for peace,” Ivanka Trump wrote on Twitter ahead of the visit.

Monday's ceremony — which takes place on the 70th anniversary of Israel declaring its independence — for now means moving the ambassador and a small staff to the U.S. consular compound in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Arnona and rededicating the building as the American Embassy.

Most of the 850 embassy workers in Tel Aviv won’t move to Jerusalem until a new embassy building is constructed, which could take up to nine years. U.S. consular services, such as issuing visas, will also continue at the Arnona site.

The State Department said in a statement that the administration remains committed to brokering a lasting peace deal.

“We are not taking a position on final status issues, including the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, nor on the resolution of contested borders,” the statement said.

Travelodge YVR

by Patrica A

Our Weekend at the Travelodge Hotel. I had stayed at the Travelodge Hotel over the weekend with my family, and we had a blast! Me, my mom, and my sister had a girls weekend, and we needed a place to get away to, so we decided to stay at the Travelodge.

It was alot of fun, because not only was it near the airport, but it was super close to two malls, and the skytrain, so we could easily get down to the main city at anytime! It was great, and we got alot of shopping done!

Aside from the location, the hotel was also pretty nice. The rooms were a good size, and the pool and hot tub were great too, along with the food.

Overall, the Travelodge Hotel was pretty great! I'd stay there again for sure.
