Are you receiving messages?

As you can tell from my other posts, I believe that there is something out there which is beyond the "world" as we know it to be. As I started communicating with the angels, I began to realise that a LOT of things that I had dismissed as not meaning anything actually were messages from the "higher" world, and in fact, each one of us has the ability to hear these messages - if only we took the time out of our busy schedule to actually listen to it!

Children are born into this world without filters - so imagine a baby seeing all of these colours, these shapes, these 'people', hearing all of these bizarre and wonderful sounds without having any idea what it is. As the child grows, they start to "filter" what is what, and obviously depending on the environment in which they grow up, they might "shut off" from things that seemed normal to them as a child, but the adults say are weird. Psychic ability is one of them.

Have you ever noticed when you are playing with a baby that they seem to be seeing straight past you and smiling at something right behind you? I believe they can see our guardian angels, well, any angel really, and they're basically smiling at the love that is pouring out of them. Have you ever seen flashes of colour or a fleeting light that you think was your imagination? Chances are it's not your imagination, but again some higher energy being trying to tell you of their presence.

I never really though much about those sorts of things - but looking back to when I was a kid, I vividly remember lying in bed and seeing these "people" and "animals" around me in the bed. I was so frightened to see them that I literally froze, and it felt like something heavy was on my chest. I didn't tell my parents about it because I thought they're think I was dreaming or crazy, and that was the end of what I saw. 

Other occurrences, such as dreaming that I received a phone call from my teacher telling me I had passed my C.M.U.S.A diploma of piano the night before, and then having that exact phone call the next day, or dreaming about being in a Russian train station whilst it was snowing and a few weeks after that I was searching online and came across that very train station (yes it was in Russia and yes it looked exactly as how I had pictured it), I put down as mere coincidences, but now I know there are no such things as coincidences right!

So here are a few examples of things that you might think were coincidental or whatever but actually are probably an indication that you're receiving messages from above:

• Dreams - one of the best channels to receive the messages... if only you can remember them :P Next time before you go to bed, try asking the higher ups to let you remember the dream and see what happens the next day. There's generally quite a lot of lessons within the dream for you... I like to use dreammoods.com to try to interpret my dreams. For example, last night I dreamt of losing all my teeth. For me I hope that's a sign that more money is coming :P In fact, that's been one of the messages I've been receiving from my angels - abundance!
• Ear worms - if you don't know what these are, they're essentially those songs that keep repeating on and on in your head and you can't get rid of them! I get these almost every single morning upon waking up. The songs vary, but they all have a specific message to them. Pay attention to the lyrics that go on in your head, or if you're not sure about the lyrics (like me for a lot of the songs), look them up. Usually there will be a few lines that will just jump out at you - that's normally the message. For example, there was one time at work a particular person rubbed me up the wrong way really badly to the point I actually had to step out of work for almost an hour to calm down. On my way home, a song by the Script was playing in my head. What were the lyrics? "Walk away, walk away"...
• Meditation - apparently this is a great tool to receive messages once you filter out the crap (whoops sorry I meant clutter :P) from your mind. I have to confess that I haven't advanced that far in my meditation yet to get to that point but I'm still trying! I see faces sometimes but I can't hear the message and the faces are usually fleeting.
• Your gut - intuition is key. Lots of times your gut will point you in the right direction of making a choice about a certain thing. If you feel a bit wary about someone, or if you're a bit worried about going forth with a decision, most likely it's your higher self trying to signal to you that something is amiss and to think twice. How many times have you followed your gut and made a decision you regretted? Not many I'd bet!
• People - Yep, other people. It could be you overhearing a particular part of a conversation that really resonated with you, or it could be a friend talking to you who just says something that really makes sense. Never underestimate the power of other people - Heaven always has a way of getting a message to you and this is probably one of the most in your face ways it can happen :P
• What you see - This is another goodie. A lot of times we're so busy looking at our phones whilst walking or thinking about other stuff that we fail to see the signs right in front of us! It could be something like an advertisement on a bus, a particular snippet from a newspaper that just jumps out at you. I was walking to work one day and it was a few days after I had come back from my trip. I was thinking about my upcoming study and stuff and all of a sudden, a bus passes me with the words "Want a change in career?! Study at blah blah blah". I had to laugh.
• Ideas - Ever get a sudden inspiration to do something like book a trip somewhere, do something creative, etc? That's also generally a message as well! 

So why don't you try looking out for these sorts of signs and try to understand the messages that you're getting? You might be pleasantly surprised! 

Oh and by the way, if you get feelings of self doubt or start questioning certain things, most of the time that's your ego trying to come in and sabotage the true messages. The true messages will usually make you feel happy, warm and fuzzy and you just know that it's the right thing for you. Anything that makes you scared, anxious, etc should be ignored. 

Btw, in case you didn't get this, I'm telling you about my own personal experiences so others may have a difference in opinion (typical lawyer speak I know).
