Understanding and Working With Spiritual Symbols

What symbols are

• Symbols are a form of psychic or intuitive shorthand

• They are the way Spirit often talks to us - through dreams, flashes, songs, flowers, insects and other animals

Why you receive information in this way

• Intrinsic part of how we communicate

  • Symbols create links between different concepts and experiences

  • They’re the foundation of all communication, written and verbal

  • Numbers and letters are themselves symbols – rearranged into different, agreed-upon combinations in each language, they become words, each with its own meaning

• Symbols are a shorthand method of communication from your higher self, your intuition and Spirit

• It takes less energy to communicate through symbols

Ways you receive symbolic information

• Through dreams

• Through your intuition

• Through meditation

• Through connecting with Spirit when you do mediumship work or psychic readings

• Examples

How do you know when it’s a symbol from Spirit?

• Repetition

• Feeling of divine connection

• Comes out of nowhere

What happens when you start using and defining your symbols

• You begin to get more information coming through this that way

• The information becomes more reliable - same symbols mean the same thing, making communication easier and more reliable

• If they don’t, you can tell more easily. You can more easily feel the subtleties in the change in energy around a particular symbol

• You expand your intuitive senses as you do this work

• It takes less energy as you don’t have to ask what each symbol means each time you get it

• You gain confidence

• We all have filters – it’s OK. Plus, they’re impossible to avoid. Embrace them instead.

  • Example: the word “father” – depending on your relationship with your own father, the word will have a different feeling or connotation for you.

• You each experience the world through your own filter – learning to understand it and give it as much clarity as possible will enable you to understand the symbols you receive better

• Your filters are based on the sum of your experiences – the languages you speak, the cultures you grew up in and have been exposed to, the TV shows you’ve watched, music you’ve listened to, food you’ve eaten, places you’ve visited, books you’ve read, etc.

• All these experiences together make up a sort of internal database for Spirit and your intuition to draw upon

• Expand your internal database by having new experiences! Try new food, listen to different music, explore a culture you don’t know much about but that appeals to you.

  • You’ll begin getting symbols that are related to the new experience

This is the first in several extra videos I'm adding to this course to you help your develop your symbol dictionary. More are coming!

You'll want to pause the video after I read the name of each animal so you have time to write down the impressions you get. It could be just one word, or a whole page. There's no right definition for each of these symbols. This is your personal dictionary you're creating.

In case you're not doing these in order (and you can do them in any order), here are the instructions:

• Take whatever time you need to get into your meditative sweet spot. I don't spend much time on it in these videos, but give yourself the time you need. Just pause the video and unpause it when you're ready to start.

• After I read the name of each symbol, pause the video again, so you have time to write down the impressions you get. I leave only a few seconds before I say the next one (because I don't know how much you'll write and I don't want the video to be 20 minutes of mostly silence).

  You might get just one word or a whole page. There's no right definition for each of these symbols. This is your personal dictionary you're creating. Trust yourself.

• Don't re-read what you write. Just go to the next one and keep going.
