Spirit Messages and Symbols
What do I mean by symbols?
There’s more to it than spirit messages and symbols, so what mean depends on the context when we’re talking about them. There are literal symbols like the squiggly lines, those on runes, hieroglyphics, numbers (including angel numbers), mathematical symbols and the like. There are symbols sent as signs for us to see or symbols in formulas in your spreadsheet.
You can use runes or ask for symbols for yourself, however I’m going to refer to symbols in respect of those sent to me and other psychics and mediums by spirit in order to get a message over to someone else more quickly. Again these can be literal symbols, but they can also be pictures, people, items, smells, tastes. There’s no standard or hard and fast set of rules. They’re all different for different people and their spirit teams.

Why do spirit communicate by symbols?
Before looking at the why, let's try an exercise in what. What do these images mean to you? I invite you to take a look at the picture, and give the answers that immediately spring to mind. Then look again and see if anything deeper comes out.
Is there a memory, preconception, perception or anything deeper that arises?
The meaning of symbols
How did you interpret these images?
Holidays. Travel. Summer?
That’s the important bit. What do they mean to you?… not anyone else.
These are symbols that spirit send to me to get a situation or story over quickly and efficiently, and this is what they mean to me.
Guy holding the an ice-cream. This is the starter – what’s to come is a male with an affiliation or a story relating to being near the sea.
The ship. If he has a ship behind him that means that he worked or works on ships OR was in the Navy. If it’s a boat rather than a ship then that means that he works on boats.
Beach ball. If this appears alone or with the guy, then there are poignant holiday memories rather than working with boats. This is will prompt further memories to work as evidence and validation.
It’s always been something in the past, and not in the future. That’s not to say that this won’t appear as a present or future vision, but so far it’s been to represent the spirit coming through.
I will get the sense if this is a father, husband, brother, uncle or friend of the family at various points. It might be straight away or after I start talking.
How does this help?
Imagine how immediate this is rather than spirit using time and energy to tell me a story with sentences and words. The only thing is the time it takes learning your symbols. When I first saw a beach ball bouncing down a beach I thought it was a story about a memory with a beach ball. That’s quite awkward when the client can’t relate to that memory, and that’s why it’s great that we have online practice groups where people are understanding, patient and helpful with deciphering messages.
If only everything was like Hollywood, or the Ghost Whisperer and Medium TV programmes where they stand there for ages with reams of dialogue, but it doesn’t work like that. You’d be staring at me waiting for me to talk, I’d be starting at you trying not to interrupt spirit in full flow. It’s also much more than the vocabulary that we have, the energy available, and the ability for me to relay messages.
By quickly identifying who it is we can move to more meaningful memories, messages, and me feeling and experiencing situations so that I can provide comfort and guidance.
A deeper message
I often talk about the limitations of human vocabulary and minds. When it comes to communication and understanding more. We only know, can imagine or can accept what our minds and bodies allow.
Imagine no time or limitations to anything, or more precisely any possibility.
Therefore sometimes symbols, feelings, visions are necessary to communicate effectively instead.
A vision of an image can spark off so much more of a bigger story than you may initially think. It’s quicker, more powerful and more effective than words can be.
An exercise for everyone
We’re all psychics, but we’re not all mediums. So this exercise is for everyone, but will be most relevant to first timers and those in the development phase of their journey.
If you’re interested in how your guides would like to communicate with you in spirit messages and symbols then you can ask them. If you really struggle with a symbol then just ask them politely to change it to something else.
Making contact
Preparation
Make sure that you have a pen and paper.
Enter into a meditation to meet your spirit guides. You can either find one on YouTube that resonates (because not all will) or enter into your own state.
Always make sure you ground yourself and protect yourself first. The guided meditations will do this for you.
Have the intention that you would like to meet with your spirit guides to find out about how they would like to communicate with spirit messages and symbols.
Clearing your mind
Do 4 rounds of breathing, More if you’re super hyped up. Breathe in for 4 counts and out for 6. If you’re still not in the calm zone, cover your left nostril and breathe in. Cover your right and breathe out. Breathe in through your right, and out through your left. Continue for about 2 minutes.
Clear your mind. Thought comes in, acknowledge it, say thank you, move it away.
Meeting your guides
When you’re ready, send your energy high up above you. You can either climb a rope, get into an elevator or shoot yourself up like you’re wearing a jet-pack. Keep going until you know that you have reached the place where they hang out. Yours might be in a garden, a nice house, a chill out room, in the woods or around a lake. They might even be just there above you, ready and waiting.
Open the gate to the garden, lake, forest, or door to the hang out room.
You don’t need to see them, but they are there. Start asking your questions. Sometimes you might not need to as they’ll begin communicating with you straight away.
If you need a pointer ask, why do you show me this symbol?
Or ask for a list of about 10 symbols to begin with, you choose.
What’s my symbol for:
- Grandmother?
- Mother?
- Uncle?
- A birthday?
- Wedding?
Then remember to thank your guides and start slowly sliding your way back down to where you started.
