Ever feel like the universe is talking to you or sending you signs but you’re not sure how to listen?

The other day, while having lunch with Jay, I found myself drawn to the gecko decorations on the walls of the Mexican restaurant we were at. Every time I looked up, another one caught my eye—like they were trying to tell me something.
Between bites and conversation, I told Jay, We should bring a gecko into our home! Not just as décor, but as a symbol—of resilience, adaptability, and the deep ancestral wisdom woven into our Hispanic roots. We laughed, imagining how fun it would be to find the perfect one.
Then, last night, out of nowhere, my youngest handed me a gift—a beautifully crafted gecko wall piece. They had no idea about our conversation, no clue I had been feeling pulled toward this little creature. And yet, here it was, exactly where it was meant to be.
Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in signs, in synchronicities, in the quiet (and sometimes playful) ways the universe speaks.
Understanding the Gecko
The gecko is more than just a creature; it’s a powerful symbol of transformation, resilience, and the beauty of new beginnings. Its sudden presence was a gentle reminder that we, too, are always in a state of evolution. Shedding old layers, facing challenges, and progressing on our unique journeys. It’s like the gecko was saying, Change is here. Embrace it.
This naturally leads to a question that lingers in the air: Is the universe always speaking to us? The answer, without a doubt, is yes. The universe doesn’t just send us signs when we ask for them—it’s constantly trying to communicate with us through the world around us, through nature, through our own inner whispers.
The real question is this: Are we open to hearing what the universe is saying? Are we willing to step outside of our busy minds and pay attention to the messages hidden in plain sight?
When we begin to open ourselves to the signs, to trust the guidance that comes through unexpected moments—whether it’s a gecko, a song, or a passing thought—we create space for deeper understanding and a more aligned way of living. These aren’t just coincidences; they’re invitations to dive deeper into our purpose and the unfolding of our soul’s path.
Learning to Listen to the Divine
If you’re reading this thinking, Well, that’s great for you, but I don’t get signs like that, let me stop you right there—yes, you do. We all do. The universe is always speaking; the question is, are you paying attention?
The truth is, signs aren’t rare or reserved for the “spiritually gifted.” They’re constant. The problem? We’re often too distracted, skeptical, or wrapped up in our own thoughts to notice.
But if the idea of receiving signs feels exciting yet out of reach, don’t worry—it’s not. You don’t have to be a mystic, psychic, or ultra-enlightened being to hear the whispers of the universe. You just have to be open.
So how do you start tuning in? Here’s how:
1. Notice the Repeating Patterns
Ever notice the same animal, number, or word popping up over and over? That’s the universe sending you a little message! When you spot a pattern, pause and ask yourself, “What’s this trying to tell me?”
For example, if you keep seeing 11:11, maybe it’s time to dig into its spiritual meaning or simply reflect on how it resonates with you. It’s like the universe’s version of Hey, pay attention!
2. Meditate (Yes, Even for 10 Minutes)
Meditation isn’t just for yogis—it’s a way to quiet the chaos and hear the whispers of the universe. Even just 10 minutes a day can reduce stress and sharpen your focus. Start simple: breathe, let go, and trust that insights will follow. Your intuition loves a little quiet space.
3. Keep a Dream Journal
Your dreams are like a secret meeting with your subconscious. Write them down! If you keep dreaming about water, maybe it’s time to dive into your emotional world. Jot down feelings and symbols, and over time, you’ll uncover hidden messages.
4. Tune Into Nature
Mother Nature is always talking, but are you listening? Take a walk, feel the sun, or watch a butterfly float by—these are often signs in disguise. Nature has a way of reflecting our inner journey if we’re open to it.
5. Trust Your Gut
That little voice inside? Yeah, it knows what’s up. Trust it! Your gut feelings often point to the next step or a person you need to pay attention to. Start small—ask yes or no questions, and see how your body reacts. It’s like spiritual GPS.
Embracing the Communication of the Universe
The gecko was my reminder. Yours might be something else—a song on the radio at the exact right moment, a dream that won’t leave you alone, or a random comment from a stranger that hits way too deep to be coincidence.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to decode the mystery of the universe overnight. You just have to be willing to listen.
So tell me—have you ever experienced something like this? A sign so perfect it made you pause? Drop it in the comments—I need to hear these stories!
The universe is always whispering (or sometimes yelling) through signs, symbols, and experiences. The question is—are we paying attention?
For me, the gecko wasn’t just a cute decoration; it was a cosmic nudge, a reminder to stay open to the deeper connections and messages all around me.
When we start noticing, when we start trusting, life gets a little more magical, a little more aligned… and a lot more fun.
So, are you ready to embrace the universe’s guidance and its sense of humor? Because trust me—it’s got jokes.
