How Spirit Speaks

Understanding the Language of the Other Side

How spirits communicate: If you’ve ever had a gut feeling, a vivid dream, or a coincidence that felt too perfect—you may have already received a message from spirit.

One of the most fascinating (and frequently asked-about) topics I cover in my courses and live events is how to communicate with spirit.

But there’s another side to that connection:
How do you know what spirit is saying back?

Signs You’re Already Receiving Messages from Spirit

Chances are, spirit has already been reaching out to you—perhaps without you even realizing it. That passing thought. That dream that lingered all day. That uncanny coincidence that seemed perfectly timed.

Many people walk through life unaware that these quiet nudges are spirit in communication.

But receiving a message is only half the story. What happens if you misinterpret it? Worse, what if you’re giving a reading for someone else and get it completely wrong?

Let’s explore how spirits communicate—and how you can better understand the messages coming through.

First: What Spirit Doesn’t Sound Like

Before diving into the how, let’s clear something up:
If you’re hearing scary messages or seeing disturbing images, you’re likely not connecting with true spiritual guidance.

Messages from spirit are typically:

Loving

Supportive

Helpful

Deeply aligned with your personal growth and healing

Authentic communication uplifts and offers insight—it doesn’t provoke fear.

Spirit Speaks Through Energy (Not Words)

Spirit doesn’t speak in full sentences or clear speech the way we do. Instead, spirit communicates energetically, and it’s the medium’s job to translate that energy into words, impressions, or feelings.

There’s a kind of “meeting in the middle” that happens:

Spirit lowers its frequency

The medium raises theirs

The clearer and higher your energy, the less your personal beliefs, biases, or emotions interfere with the message.

The Four Primary Ways on How Spirits Communicate

Let’s break it down into the four main forms of spiritual communication:

1. Symbols and Imagery

Spirit often speaks through signs—symbols that hold meaning either for you or the person you’re reading for. Over time, you may build a personal symbol “language” with your guides.

For example, seeing a rose might mean love, or it might refer to a specific person in someone’s life. Context is everything.

2. Mental Impressions and “Downloads”

You may suddenly know something without knowing how. This is called claircognizance, or clear knowing. Some mediums describe this as receiving a “download”—a stream of insight or understanding that feels like it just drops in.

It’s fast, subtle, and often incredibly accurate.

3. Emotions and Sensations

Spirit can share how they felt emotionally or physically during their life—or even how they passed away. If someone died of heart failure, you might feel a momentary tightness in your chest.

Don’t worry—these sensations are gentle and brief.
Spirit can also send waves of love, joy, or peace that move through your body, letting you know they’re near.

4. Visual and Auditory Cues

Sometimes you’ll see an image, hear a word, or receive a memory. A spirit might show you a beloved object (like a watch or a pet), or repeat a saying they were known for in life. These details often carry deep emotional weight and meaning.

Tips for Better Interpreting Spirit Messages

Don’t jump to conclusions. Let the message unfold fully before assuming what it means.

Stay neutral. Your ego or emotions can cloud the translation.

Build a relationship with your guides. They’re your greatest allies in spirit communication—and they’ll help guide you when things feel unclear.

Keep the Connection Strong

Like any relationship, your connection with spirit deepens with time, trust, and effort. The more consistently you show up for your practice, the clearer and stronger the communication becomes.

One important thing I’ve noticed over the years:
Mediums who get complacent stop growing.
Stay humble, stay curious, and keep showing up with intention.

Final Thoughts

Spirit is always speaking. It’s up to us to learn the language.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or refining your skills, remember: interpretation takes time. Be patient, stay grounded, and trust that with practice, your understanding will expand.

And the next time you feel that unexplainable nudge, take a moment. Spirit might be saying hello.
