The universe responds and sends you messages all the time. Everything you see “out there” is a response to what you are thinking, feeling and believing.

But here is the really exciting news—you can make your world change within hours.

That’s right. You can do a technique and watch your world respond—immediately!

How cool is that?

The universe responds, and will give you a sign (within hours) that you are creating your desire.

Now, if this doesn’t excite you, you don’t understand how this works.

You don’t have to wait for days, weeks, months, or years to find out if you’re getting your dream. You don’t have to wonder if the law of attraction is working for you. (I know—it always works—but you know what I mean.)

Even though a creation may take longer to fully manifest, we can know we are on the right track, simply by paying attention.

We constantly receive signs that our magic is working, but the problem is, most people don’t respond to the signs—because they don’t realize they are signs.

Or worse, they respond negatively—which flows energy towards what they don’t want.

So, the first step towards understanding signs and responding to them positively, is to recognize…

What a sign looks like

A sign is something that changes in your world around the issue you are trying to create differently. Signs will show up within a few days after completing any powerful technique.

Here are some examples of signs:

If your desire is to create a job you love with a company you believe in and one that values their employees, a sign might be:

• You open your Facebook page and see a post on an article entitled, “The Top 100 Best Companies to Work For.”

• Your brother calls to tell you about his new job.

• The company you currently work for decides to implement a new “employee friendly” dress code.

If your desire is to create elegant and easy weight loss while feeling full, satisfied and beautiful, a sign might be:

•  While watching the news, a segment comes on about women healing their body issues.

•  A friend calls—excited to tell you about the new Zumba class she is taking.

•  You notice an article at a newsstand about a famous actress—formerly overweight—who has lost 50 pounds.

If your desire is to create a vibrant and fun new friendship with someone you love to hang out with, a sign might be:

•  You meet a stranger in line and a conversation ignites about a book you are both reading. She suggests coffee to discuss it further—although you are pretty certain she is not someone you want to become friends with.

•  While channel surfing you become engrossed in a movie about two best friends who are there for each other their entire lives.

•  You receive a postcard in the mail from a local spa with the headline: “Bring a Friend – Get 25% Off!”

Now the problem is, not everyone notices these little changes and even if they do notice them, they don’t see them as signs. And if you miss the sign, you miss knowing that you are a powerful reality creator and that you are shifting your world and creating your dream.

And worse, if you respond in a negative way towards these signs, you’ll literally stop the creation. Ouch!

How you respond to a sign from the universe is critical. But the first thing to understand is how you are likely to respond, and how you could improve your response.

Typical responses and “flow strengthening” responses

Take a look at the same “signs” described above, with both a typical (negative) response and a response that will strengthen the flow of energy—thereby manifesting your dream even faster:

Desire: To create a job you love with a company you believe in and one that values their employees.

Sign: You open your Facebook page and see a post on an article entitled, “The Top 100 Best Companies to Work For.”         

Typical Response: “Lucky bastards. I wish I could work for a company like that.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Whoa—just yesterday I did a technique to create a job I love, and look at this! I am getting excited about my new job already!”

Sign: Your brother calls to tell you about his new job.

Typical Response: “Geez, why did he get the new job when I’m the one who wanted one?”

Flow Strengthening Response: “I can barely believe this—someone close to me getting what I am consciously creating is a HUGE sign that it’s just around the corner for me too!”

Sign: The company you currently work for decides to implement a new “employee friendly” dress code.

Typical Response: “How sad is this company? Too little, too late. I can’t wait to get out of here.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Wow—I started programming for a better place to work and my current place becomes a better place! A sign if there ever was one.”

Desire: To create elegant and easy weight loss while feeling full, satisfied and beautiful.

Sign: While watching the news a segment comes on about women healing their body issues.

Typical Response: “This makes me feel depressed. What if my issue is more than skin deep? I’ll never lose this extra weight.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Hey, that felt like a little sign. Those women healed, and no matter what the underlying cause, I can too.”

Sign: A friend calls—excited to tell you about the new Zumba class she is taking.

Typical Response: “Exercise classes come and go—and I never, ever find something I stick with—neither will she.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Hey—maybe this is a sign? I’m creating healthy, fun weight loss and she found exercise she adores! I’m going to try a class—maybe I’ll love it too!”

Sign: You notice an article at a newsstand about a famous actress—formerly overweight—who has lost 50 pounds.

Typical Response: “Yeah, she probably had a trainer, chef and personal coach to pull that one off. I wish I had that kind of support…”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Ha ha…everywhere I look, I see signs. I had better start imagining my body skinny—because it looks like that is what I’m already starting to create!”

Desire: To create a vibrant and fun new friendship with someone you love to hang out with.

Sign: You meet a stranger in line and a conversation ignites about a book you are both reading—she suggests coffee to discuss it further—although you are pretty certain she is not someone you want to become friends with.

Typical Response: “Damn. I want to draw new exciting friends to me—not clingy, complainers. Where did I go wrong in creating this?”

Flow Strengthening Response: “SO cool! I put out the vibe for friends and they come out of the woodwork. It won’t be long now before someone perfect for me shows up.”

Sign: You are channel surfing and become engrossed in a movie about two best friends who have been there for each other their entire lives.

Typical Response: “Oh this movie makes me feel so sad. I really want a friend like that—and now, with half my life behind me, I know I’ll never have that.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “This movie is beautiful, and a perfect sign that I’m on track in creating the friendship I desire. I think I’ll go do another technique.”

Sign: You receive a postcard in the mail from a local spa with the headline: “Bring a Friend – Get 25% Off!”

Typical Response: “That figures. You only get discounts when you have a ‘friend’. Way to rub it in that I’m alone and lonely. Stupid spa.”

Flow Strengthening Response: “Hey, I’m holding onto this. It’s another sign that new friends are on their way to me. I must be pretty powerful if I can simply choose and imagine for awhile and then see my world reflect a sign back within hours, letting me know it’s on the way.”

You see, it’s not difficult to learn to recognize the signs and to respond positively. It just takes some practice.

If you are super excited, you DO understand.

It only takes one little (yet powerful) technique to shift your reality. A sign will show up within hours (generally within 2 to 72).

Start looking for signs that your resonance is shifting and your dreams are coming true. Respond to them in ways that strengthens the flow of your dream. And begin to prepare for your new life.
