Signs From Our Loved Ones | Learning to Recognize the Ways Love Still Finds Us

Send us Fan Mail Can the people we love continue to reach us after they're no longer physically here? And if they can… how would we recognize it? In this episode of *Healing Waves Reiki*, Cathy Scarpitto explores signs from loved ones through the interconnected lenses of grief, presence, intuition, and discernment. Building on recent conversations about grief, the power of the present moment, and learning to trust our intuition, Cathy explores why recognizing a meaningful moment may have as much to do with what happens **within us** as what happens around us. She also shares two deeply personal experiences involving her own mother—including the extraordinary “deer heart” coincidence that occurred while she was reading Laura Lynne Jackson's *Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe*, and the day a pair of plastic angel wings washed directly to her feet moments after she looked toward the sky and asked her mom to “just throw me a bone.” Could these experiences be coincidences? Perhaps. This episode isn't about proving otherwise. It's an invitation to remain curious In this episode, you'll explore: - How grief changes the way we experience our relationship with someone we love - The connection between intuition and recognizing signs - Why the first few seconds of an experience may be worth noticing before the analytical mind takes over - How being present may help us notice meaningful moments we might otherwise overlook - Why signs can be deeply personal rather than having one universal meaning - Some of the ways people describe experiencing signs—from songs and dreams to animals, numbers, scents, objects, and synchronicities - How to ask a loved one for a sign without constantly searching for one - Why discernment matters when exploring signs and intuition - Why **not** receiving a sign does not mean someone you love is absent—or that you aren't intuitive enough Because perhaps recognizing signs isn't about looking harder. Perhaps it's about becoming present enough to notice. **Presence allows us to notice.** **Intuition helps us recognize.** **Discernment allows us to remain open without forcing an answer.** And perhaps learning to carry love differently also means becoming open to recognizing it differently.

You don't have to decide whether every meaningful coincidence is a sign. You don't have to search. You don't have to prove anything. Simply become present. Stay curious. And notice what happens around you—and within you. In love and light, Cathy https://healingwaves-reiki.com/
