Proof the Universe Is Talking to You

By Rev. Lori Marie

A Hard Few Days

The last few days have been among the most emotionally hard. It seems the more peacefully I live and the more I shift past old challenges, the harder it is when life challenges me again. I could go on about the astrological changes right now and how they are affecting me, but if anyone is reading this, they likely won't know what I'm talking about unless they have been taking one of my classes.

I have been teaching a lot lately, which has made dealing with the emotional and spiritual challenges that much harder because I am expected to live and walk in my truth. I'm aware everything inward is projected outward, and I know this too will pass. No matter how bad the pain or my mental health was, I knew I needed to allow myself to feel every emotion without judging myself. I needed to process the emotions, not sit in them and drown.

The Setup

Without going into too much detail: the full moon was Monday morning, before we even woke up. It was making challenging aspects that affected my chart directly, and I was not emotionally okay. I caught myself feeling and thinking in ways I have outgrown. I allowed myself to feel that way while still being aware of the truth.

On Sunday morning, I did an exercise my friend Verlaine walked me through, which she calls "Integration." It is based on a technique she taught years ago and on a book she wrote. She really wanted to get the practice out there so people in the world can use it, so she shared it with me. I walked through the process with her, identifying my beliefs about wealth, giving, and receiving. The goal was to rewrite the story and take on a new belief. It was an amazing experience.

I was staying mindful so I could consciously see a shift because I was at rock bottom with funds, and I had been talking to the universe and listening closely on what I needed to do as my next steps. But what followed over the next few days had little to do with wealth. It had everything to do with the universe showing me they were listening. From beyond the veil of this reality, in the invisible realm, many messages came to me in very uncanny ways. That's what I'm here to tell you about today.

Sign #1: My Values Around Money Were Tested

This experience wasn't fruitful, but it showed me that I had my boundaries and stuck to them, even when it was hard.

A friend reached out on behalf of a friend with some spiritual questions. I said maybe she would like to book a reading. She asked how much, and I felt the challenge in my body: what do I say? I had learned a lot from my session with Verlaine, so I stated what I charge. When there was no response, I added that if she needed, I could do it donation-based and she could pay what she wanted. I know there are people out there who can afford my services and are interested in what I have to offer, but those who don't have the money are just as thirsty for leveling up.

My friend was thankful for the offer. The other person's response was, "I don't want her not paid for her services. I know she deserves it and she will reach out when she can afford it."

My takeaway: I didn't get a session, but I was still shown my value.

Sign #2: The Book I Didn't Recognize

The next day I was low emotionally and looking for inspiration and messages, so I went to my bookshelf. I saw a book titled 365 Starry Nights and thought, "I have no idea what this book is." I pulled it off the shelf and found it was about constellations and astronomy. I have no idea where it came from. It's not one I would buy, and I don't have people over often enough for someone to slip it onto my shelf. I asked my daughter, and it wasn't hers.

I knew then and there that I had shifted timelines. To me, that was the universe showing me things were changing.

Sign #3: Being a Day Off All Week

Interestingly, I was also way off on my days all week long. I was always a day ahead of myself, and it kept messing me up. A friend pointed it out while we were on the phone during a walk. I was like, "Great, one more day before Friday."

That night, I went to bed feeling better. The session I'd had with a client that day really shifted my energy, and the walk and chat with my friend was a blessing.

Sign #4: The Dream

Right before I woke up, I had a dream that my mom, who has passed away, walked into the room. She looked vibrant and beautiful. She had just had her teeth redone, and she showed me her dental work. I could see all new teeth, and I was in shock. I had just had a wisdom tooth pulled and had been in pain for weeks, and she had just had all her teeth out in less time and was fine. I asked how she was dealing with it all so well and so quickly. She shrugged and said, "I just dealt with it."

When I woke up, I replayed the dream and knew what it meant. Teeth in a dream mean maturity and leveling up. My mom was looking great and showing me that the work I have been doing had shifted her, and that she had leveled up. When we heal ourselves, we heal generational trauma on all timelines.

I usually get on my phone and voice-text my dreams, but this time I didn't. I knew this was one I would not forget.

Sign #5 It Doesn't Stop Here!

So while writing this blog, I received a text from an old friend whom I have been close to for years. She used to live down the street from me, and we also worked in the same office together. I moved out of the area and distance fell between us. She is originally from the Philippines, and she and I always talked about maybe me going there to visit her at some point. Those of you who know me closely know I want to move out of the US and to a Southeast Asian country. Well, Maria is having a hardship right now and feels as though she may be evicted.

Last night, while talking to the friend I called on our walk, I had mentioned that one of the things I could do for some solutions to our financial situation was to move out of the country to Southeast Asia and start fresh, or rent out my extra rooms. My challenge is that I wanted to visit some of these places first, and now I do not have the funds to do so. So when my friend who was potentially getting evicted texted me, I told her she would not be out on the streets, and I set up a virtual call with her for later in the evening. If she is open to it, I can rent out my extra two rooms to her and split the bills and the mortgage with her until she gets back on her feet. This is a win-win. And who knows, maybe I will learn more about what I need to know to do some international traveling and potentially move there…and maybe if things work out, I can rent her my home when I go overseas so I still have it. I don't know where any of this is going to go, but I know it is perfect timing and the universe has been listening.

The Confirmations

The video. I went about my morning and saw a social media post of a man saying, "When you dream about loved ones who passed…" I was like, "No way!" I hadn't told anyone, said it out loud, or written it on my phone. I took it as my mom telling me it was her there, and that all the hard work and everything I'd been going through had paid off.

The text. I went to text the friend from the night before about everything that had transpired, and I saw a message from a different friend. The night before, I had asked her how the full moon affected her. Her response said she'd had her days mixed up all week. I was like, "No way, I have literally been experiencing the same thing all week."

The anniversary. I messaged the friend I'd gone on the walk with, who is a longtime friend whose father passed from the same disease my mom did. I told her about the dream, the video, and the text. She responded, "Isn't today the anniversary of your mom's passing?"

"OMG, yes!" I thought it was the 28th, but my phone showed it was October 29th. My mom literally visited me in my dreams on the day she passed away.

The Text While Writing This Very Transformative Blog Post

My old friend who was in distress’s text is the final piece. Only the night before, I had said out loud to my friend on our walk that I was contemplating all my options to make life better one being that I considered moving abroad or another to rent out my extra rooms but not to just anyone. Then, while I sat here writing about the signs I'd been given from the universe, someone close to me from the country I have always dreamed of visiting reached out needing a place to stay. I had asked the universe what my next steps should be, and the answers continuously showed up in very direct messages. I don't know yet how it will unfold, but I know I was heard and I trust the universe has my back.

Final Thoughts

I have had many experiences like this, but this one came at perfect timing because I had gone through such a challenging time but this time I allowed myself to feel my feels without judging myself and processed the emotions aware that they too shall pass. I feel blessed to be connected to source and all that is, and I know our loved ones never leave us. The universe is always listening, and sometimes the answer arrives before we even finish asking. I know the work I do inwardly in this realm affects all realms, and now I have another perfect example to share with others about how this happens.
