If you’ve taken any mediumship or psychic development classes, you’ve probably been told to develop a symbol dictionary. Or, at the very least, that the information you get through symbols is important.
Both of these things are true.
Symbols are the language of Spirit. However you receive information from Spirit, loved ones on the other side, your guides, or even your own dreams and intuition, it comes through symbols. What I mean by this is that whether you get information through images (clairvoyance), sounds (e.g. songs on the radio), smells or tastes, it’s symbolic. It usually comes through as a symbol for something else.
For example, love from someone close in Spirit often comes through as flowers. At least it does for some mediums. You, perhaps, might see a glowing heart.
Symbols are a personal language
That’s the thing. Your symbols may be different than someone else’s. So even if you use a dream dictionary or psychic symbols dictionary to look up the symbols you get, what they mean for you might be different.
You can develop your language with Spirit
That may sound like a bummer. How are you ever supposed to know what certain symbols mean to you?
Here’s the upside. Once you begin deliberately working with symbols, you begin to develop your own language with Spirit. And just like in English, you know what the word or an image of a “sun” means, you learn what it means in Spirit-ese without having to think about it every time it comes up.
You begin to become fluent in Spirit symbols.
This makes understanding symbols – whether it’s for your message work with others or for your own understanding of your life – so much easier. It gets rid of the constant doubt many mediums and psychics are plagued with. No more worrying if you’re getting it “right.”
This is because Spirit will use the language you understand and your own meanings for certain symbols to communicate with you.
Communication becomes quicker, clearer and so much easier.
Developing your symbol dictionary
It’s true, it takes work to develop your own symbol dictionary. But it’s not something that has to happen overnight. It’s something you create over time.
If you were learning any other language, you wouldn’t try to memorize the entire vocabulary of that language in one sitting. You’d start with a few words – the ones you use most often – and build from there.
It’s the same with developing your language of Spirit. Take it one word, one symbol at a time.
