Signs: The secret language of the universe

Product Information

However, despite asking numerous times, I have not myself received any signs from passed loved ones, so this was disappointing. This stirring guide . . . asserts that anyone can learn to understand messages that are sent from the ‘Other Side.’ . . . For readers struggling with loss who believe it’s possible to communicate with the deceased, this book will console and empower them to look beyond their suffering.” — Publishers Weekly

It tells us how we can ask our deceased loved ones to give us signs from the other side to let us know they’re okay. I knew then that my mom had sent me a sign loud and clear. She is still there watching over me, sending her love. This most hopeful work is a peek behind the scenes of the universe, reading it is like receiving a private message from God. Its essence is this: While one’s body is temporary, one’s love lives forever. What a thought!” —Mark Epstein, MD, author of Advice Not Given: A Guide to Getting Over YourselfThere were parts I like and parts I didn’t. The beginning and end were good but the middle was a slog. I believe in signs and that there’s more to the world and all, I just don’t believe with all the specific things she had put together to explain it all. I think she makes it too easy and makes the world seem too pretty, which brings me to my main qualm. It’s easy for me, a rich white girl, to believe all is great despite a few hiccups. But how could other people, people less fortunate than me, buy into that? How could a widow in Syria who lost all her kids and has nothing say life is great and all about togetherness and love?

The opening paragraph says that is no accident that this book came to me, I thought that was a strong message. Anyway, the author goes on to tell stories of people receiving signs from their loved ones when they asked. I wished fervently that my mom would send me a dragonfly again because I hadn’t seen one from her in a long time. Don't let her first chapter fool you, this is entirely written from a Judeo-Christian p.o.v. and clearly only accounts stories of affluent individuals who could afford her services. The ENTIRE book is just complied of stories of people seeing signs, NOT any meaning behind them, origins of these beliefs, or even analogies to anything outside of this woman's readings. To be perfectly honest, I don’t have a strong opinion on psychic mediums, I don’t discount what they can do, but I have never had a personal experience with one, so I am on the fence. After reading this book, I am a believer. There’s a chapter about how to shine brightly where we learn about shifting our energy, gratitude, food, sleep, prayer, manifesting and how thoughts matter.We are given dozens of true life examples of people constantly receiving signs from the other side. A collection of incredible stories . . . that speak to the universe’s endless capacity for magical moments.”—Goop Maybe it’s just not that easy to let go of the hope that you can still talk to the people you love once they’re gone.

This book was just what I needed. So if you are wanting to open your mind to the possibilities of messages from the other side, read this book. It was a life changing read for me, and I am glad I took the chance. Several days ago I posted an update to my review thru the edit button. I don't know how long it takes to appear but it should have by now so I copied then deleted my original review & added the now 2 updates. Just as I submitted it the whole thing just disappeared! I will rewrite it as best I can & I apologize to the 2 people who said they found my review helpful but I thought the updates were important & I want to share them. I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. All opinions are my own, and I was not compensated for this review. Please understand I am not a skeptic, I believe that there are signs in our universe, but this book does nothing to further tuning into those signs or learning about them outside of a "god-based" belief system. All perspectives are from a Christian view-point and that is not how the book presents itself. There's an entire chapter that discusses a woman being talked out of her abortion by her dead father because she "chose love", a chapter on prayer, and consistent references to Jesus. If this book is meant to be Christian literature then please label it as such. A modern guide to connecting with the other side, Signs is full of stories of hope. It teaches us how to recognise and interpret the life-changing messages from loved ones and spirit guides, by a renowned psychic medium.The book is all about opening your mind and heart to the infinite signs in the universe that are sent to us by our “Team of Light”, or those who are deceased that look after us, our guardian angels if you will. Our Team of Light is always on the other side sending us messages and signs, trying to get us to open our minds. April 2021: I re-read this book because it resonated with me so strongly that first time and I need some positivity and inspiration right now. Pandemic life has been hard on me, along with extra personal challenges I've faced recently. I feel isolated and less optimistic than usual. This book was a reminder that we are all connected, both here and on The Other Side. I feel inspired to ask The Universe for what I need and be open to guidance. This is a very hopeful book for those that have suffered losses in their life. When someone passes away, we often wonder if they are doing okay and if they can connect with us. The author happens to be a psychic medium who is able to connect with people that have passed, and has the ability to convey messages. She believes that anyone is capable of connecting with our loved ones and provides many examples and ways to do so yourself.

The only chapter worth reading is 30...(why did I really suffer through 29 to get there)...which discusses the importance of art, travel, and basic self-care routines. And she is partially right. But the book got clouded by this other stuff, by her and not her message. Also it just got plain ole repetitive. Do I need 1000 (exaggeration) stories of the same thing to get ur point? Since reading it the first time, I've lost a few people I cared about. The author reminded me that they are not completely gone from my life. I really liked hearing stories about how she has helped people connect with their loved ones and understand the messages being sent.

After that, I opened my mind to the rest of the book. All I can say, is that you have to read it for yourself, especially if you are struggling with the loss of a love one. It is a beautiful experience.
