Why You Still Feel Them: Signs and Synchronicity Explained.

Why You Still Feel Them: Signs and Synchronicity Explained

(8-minute read)

You felt them again, didn’t you?

Maybe it was a scent that came out of nowhere, a song that stopped you mid-breath, or that familiar warmth that felt like love brushing by.

Whether your loss is recent or decades behind you, whether it was a partner, a parent, a child, or even a beloved pet, the ache never really leaves.

You learn to live around it. But then something happens that makes you wonder if they’re still near.

You’re not imagining it. You’re remembering.

This article will help you understand why you still feel them, what signs and synchronicities really mean, how to recognize them without forcing it, and one simple way to invite your own undeniable sign from spirit.

Read to the end, because what’s waiting there may shift how you see life, love, and everything that lingers beyond it.

And if you’re ready for real validation, the kind that brings peace instead of questions, you can book a Psychic Medium Reading or learn what to expect from a reading with me.

Because love doesn’t end. It simply changes how it speaks.

7. What’s the Deeper Message Behind the Signs I Keep Getting?

They’re not reminders of loss, they’re reminders of love.

When you feel your loved one near, it’s not your imagination holding on; it’s your consciousness recognizing connection.

Love doesn’t disappear, it reorganizes itself into energy.

Every authentic sign, whether a repeating number, a flicker of light, or a scent that has no reason to be there, is love re-arranged to reach you.

From years of accurate psychic readings and evidential mediumship sessions, I’ve learned this truth again and again: spirit doesn’t return to make you mourn.

They return to help you remember.

They bring peace through validation, not proof, but presence.

When a sign appears, resist the urge to overanalyze. Let it land.

The moment you acknowledge it, the connection fulfills its purpose.

Because true connection doesn’t end with goodbye, it simply changes frequency.

6. How Do I Invite More Signs Without Forcing Them?

Spirit speaks most clearly through stillness.

When you miss someone, the ache turns into searching, for proof, for meaning, for any hint they’re still near. But searching keeps your heart braced, and spirit rarely walks through a locked door.

You can’t summon them through willpower. You can only make space for them through willingness.

The world teaches control, fix, plan, demand. The spirit world teaches surrender, soften, breathe, allow.

When people ask, “How do I get a sign from my mom?” or “Why won’t he show up?”, I remind them: you’re not being ignored. Spirit never withholds love, they respond to openness. Desperation creates static. Stillness creates signal.

If you want to invite a sign, start small. Light a candle. Say their name aloud. Speak from your heart, not with expectation, but with permission. Then live your day.

Spirit works best through the rhythm of living, not the pause of waiting.

In hospice, I’ve seen peace itself become a sign, a subtle calm that fills a room before anyone speaks, the air softening as if love itself has exhaled.

That presence isn’t imagined; it’s felt.

Spirit isn’t waiting for ritual. They’re waiting for room, for a moment when grief loosens its grip long enough for light to slip through.

Try replacing “Why can’t I feel them?” with “Where can I make space for them?” That single shift changes everything.

They’re not gone. They’re simply waiting for the quiet moment when your heart is still enough to hear them.

5. How Can I Tell If It’s Really Them or Just My Mind?

Doubt isn’t distance, it’s discernment.

If you’ve ever asked, “Was that really them, or am I imagining it?”, you’re not alone. Everyone, even the best psychic mediums in the world, has moments of uncertainty.

That humility protects what’s sacred.

A true sign feels peaceful, not performative. It lands quietly in the heart, not loudly in the head.

It’s subtle yet deeply comforting, a knowing that settles, not a thought that spins.

Imagined signs, however, often feel anxious or rushed, they come from fear, not familiarity.

Over time, through evidential mediumship, I’ve learned that truth has its own vibration. It doesn’t argue.

It simply is.

If your mind questions everything, let it, it’s doing its job to protect you. But your heart was built to perceive. Balance the two, and you’ll find clarity instead of confusion.

When something feels real, a sudden warmth, a perfectly timed message, an unexplainable calm, pause. That stillness is the bridge where spirit meets awareness.

Spirit doesn’t need you to abandon logic, only to let wonder and truth share the same space.

4. Why Do I Notice More Signs When I’m Emotional or Missing Them?

The heart opens when logic lets go.

You’re not suddenly more psychic because you’re grieving, you’re simply more open.

When the mind quiets, the soul speaks louder.

Grief doesn’t create connection; it reveals it.

In my work as a psychic medium and tarot reader, I’ve seen this countless times.

The moment someone allows themselves to feel, energy shifts. Spirit meets emotional honesty, not performance.

When you stop trying to hold everything together, your loved one can finally reach you.

It’s not that they only come when you’re sad, it’s that sadness makes you still enough to listen. Tears, music, familiar scents, these are openings, not coincidences.

Spirit doesn’t use your sorrow against you; they use it to reach through.

During mediumship readings, I often feel the energy change the instant a client exhales, the moment strength gives way to truth. That’s when the connection deepens, when spirit steps closer.

So when signs flood in during hard days, it’s not punishment. It’s love responding to vulnerability.

You can find more comfort in Finding Peace After the Loss of a Loved One, a reflection on how presence, not time, creates true healing.

Because the more you let yourself feel, the easier it becomes to realize you’ve never truly been alone.

3. What’s the Difference Between a Sign and a Synchronicity?

A sign comforts you; a synchronicity expands you.

A sign is personal, a private message from your loved one.
A synchronicity is universal, life itself responding to your awareness.

As one of the top tarot readers internationally, I see this mirrored in the cards.

When a symbol or archetype repeats across unrelated sessions, it’s synchronicity at work, the collective consciousness expressing itself through pattern and timing.

Both signs and synchronicities are proof of alignment, not imagination.

The difference lies in scale: a sign speaks directly to your heart; a synchronicity speaks through your world.

Recently, while researching flights to New Orleans, I texted a friend about it. At the exact moment I typed New Orleans, the song playing in the background said it too.

Coincidence? Maybe. Alignment? Absolutely.

And as I write this, another synchronicity just unfolded, an old friend psychic medium Brough Perkins messaged me saying I’d texted him the exact phrase and insight someone else had shared with him moments earlier.

I laughed and wrote back, “Funny enough, I’m writing an article about signs and synchronicities.”

That’s how it happens, naturally, playfully, without control. When you’re open, life mirrors your attention.

If things slow down or plans shift, don’t assume it’s bad luck. Sometimes spirit pauses your path not to test you, but to protect you.

Because synchronicity isn’t about coincidence, it’s about connection. It’s the universe’s way of reminding you that even now, you’re being guided.

2. What Does It Mean When I Get Sudden Signs From Someone Who Passed?

Their absence becomes presence in disguise.

Signs rarely arrive in ritual. They show up in the ordinary, while driving, cooking, scrolling, or half-asleep. A song, a scent, a perfectly timed phrase.

They pierce through the mundane to remind you the relationship still exists.

Signs From Spirit: The Black Rabbit

One client, a self-described atheist and recovering alcoholic, once said, “If any of this is real, I want to see a black rabbit in person. I’ve never seen one in my life.”

That night, he wrote it down:
“If I’m on the right path, let me see a black rabbit, something that shows me I’m seen.”

Writing intentions is a simple but powerful act of psychic alignment. You’re not begging the universe; you’re participating in it.

The next day, on his lunch break, in the middle of an industrial area, a small black rabbit appeared, on the only patch of life among concrete.

He messaged me immediately: “You won’t believe this.”

But I did. Because love, spirit, and synchronicity all use the same language,  timing.

Try it yourself. Write down a specific word, object, or color you’d like to see. Leave it face up. Then live your life. The writing is the invitation; the noticing is the reply.

1. How Do I Ask for a Sign From My Loved One (and Actually Receive It)?

You don’t need faith, you just need curiosity.

Here’s the method I share as both a psychic medium and tarot expert for receiving a sign that feels undeniable, one that brings peace, not doubt.

1. Write it down.
   Choose something specific, a word, or object, and a color. For example:
   “If I’m being guided, let me see or hear the word harbor and the color teal.”
2. Leave it visible.
   Keep it face up somewhere you’ll see it daily. This anchors awareness without obsession.
3. Live your life.
   Don’t wait or hunt for it. Signs arrive through openness, not control.
4. When it happens, pause.
   Don’t explain it away. Breathe and acknowledge it. That stillness completes the connection.

You don’t have to believe, you only have to notice. The best psychics and mediums don’t force messages; they listen for them.

Because love never stops communicating. It just learns new ways to get your attention.

Maybe the fact that you found this article is a sign in itself.
