Is It All in Your Head, or are Your Spirit Guides Trying to Reach You?
“I think I’m going crazy.” This is one of the first things many clients say when they sit down with me, especially if they’re just starting to explore their connection with spirit guides. They feel like they’re noticing signs, hearing whispers of intuition, or sensing presences around them, and it leaves them questioning their sanity. Maybe you’ve felt this way too—wondering if those gut feelings, sudden insights, or repeated symbols are just your imagination running wild.
You’re not alone. So many people worry that they’re losing touch with reality when, in fact, they’re just beginning to open up to a different kind of communication. Let’s break down some common experiences that might make you feel like you’re “going crazy” and how to understand that these moments could actually be your spirit guides reaching out to you.
1. Sudden Surges of Emotion
Many clients tell me they experience sudden waves of emotion that seem to come out of nowhere. They might feel a deep sadness without any obvious reason, or they get hit with a burst of joy at the most unexpected moments. This can be confusing and unsettling, leading to thoughts like, “Why am I feeling this way?” Often, these emotional surges are signs from your guides. They use feelings to get your attention, especially when they need to communicate something quickly.
What to Do:
When you feel a sudden emotion, pause and ask yourself, “Is this mine, or is it a message?” Your guides might be alerting you to pay attention to something happening around you, or they may be sending comfort and support.
2. Seeing Repeated Symbols or Numbers
How many times have you looked at the clock to see 11:11 or found yourself noticing the same symbol over and over again? Many clients mention this, worried that they’re obsessing over these little coincidences. In reality, these repeated patterns are a common way spirit guides communicate. They use familiar symbols and numbers to let you know they’re present and to get you to pay attention to the moment.
What to Do:
Next time you see a repeated symbol or number, take a moment to pause and breathe. Ask your guides, “What do you want me to know right now?” Sometimes, just acknowledging the sign is enough to receive their guidance.
3. Hearing Your Name When No One’s There
Clients often share stories about hearing their name called when they’re alone, usually in a calm or familiar voice. This can be unsettling, leading to thoughts like, “Am I hearing things?” But in many cases, this is simply your spirit guides trying to catch your attention. They use this method because it’s direct and can quickly pull you into a state of awareness.
What to Do:
If you hear your name, respond mentally or out loud by saying, “I hear you. What would you like me to know?” See if any thoughts, feelings, or images come to you afterward. It’s their way of opening the door for communication.
4. Vivid Dreams and Nighttime Visits
Another common experience is having vivid, sometimes bizarre dreams. Clients tell me about dreams where they receive messages, meet people they’ve never seen, or visit places they don’t recognize. These dreams can feel so real that they’re left wondering if they’re just dreaming or if something more is happening. Spirit guides often use the dream state as a way to communicate when your mind is quiet and more receptive.
What to Do:
Keep a dream journal by your bed. Write down any vivid dreams or messages you receive during the night. Over time, you might notice patterns or recurring themes that reveal what your guides are trying to tell you.
5. Sudden Insights and Gut Feelings
Do you ever just “know” something without any logical reason why? Clients often describe moments where they receive a sudden insight or a gut feeling that turns out to be spot-on. This can be confusing, especially when it contradicts what seems rational. These flashes of intuition are often your guides sending you guidance in a way that cuts through the noise.
What to Do:
When you get one of these insights, trust it. Even if it doesn’t make sense at the moment, acknowledge it by saying, “Thank you, guides, for this insight.” Trusting these feelings can help strengthen your connection and make their messages clearer over time.
6. Feeling a Presence Around You
Many clients mention sensing a presence around them, especially when they’re alone. It can feel like someone is standing beside them or a gentle pressure on their shoulder. This can be startling at first, but it’s often just your spirit guides letting you know they’re there, offering support or comfort.
What to Do:
If you feel a presence, take a deep breath and acknowledge it. Say, “I feel you. Thank you for being here.” This simple act of recognition can open the door for more communication.
You’re Not Going Crazy
If any of this sounds familiar, know that you’re not going crazy. You’re simply tuning into a different way of receiving information. Spirit guides communicate in subtle, often unexpected ways that can feel strange or even unsettling at first. The key is to recognize these signs for what they are—attempts by your guides to reach out and connect with you.
How to Make Sense of It All
When you start noticing these experiences, the most important thing you can do is stay open and curious. Rather than dismissing them or questioning your sanity, try acknowledging these moments. Ask your guides for clarity: “If this is you, help me understand what you’re trying to tell me.” Over time, you’ll become more familiar with how they communicate and feel more confident in recognizing their messages.
You’re not alone in this journey. Your spirit guides are here to help you navigate life, not to make you feel uncertain or scared. Embrace these signs as a beautiful part of your growing connection with them.
