[Daily OM]: The universe can often relay 
messages to us through signs. Often, we are too busy to stop and 
consider what may or may not be a sign. We may ask the universe for 
guidance, yet fail to recognize the sign it sends us in response. 
Learning the subtle language of signs can help you interpret the 
guidance the universe sends your way. We all have been blessed with a 
connection that allows the universe to communicate directly with us. To 
be able to understand the information relayed over that connection, 
however, it is necessary that we learn to pay attention and know what to
 look for.
To see and correctly interpret a sign, you must open your heart and mind
 to the universe and invite its guidance into your life. Many of us are 
blind to the signs we receive because we expect angels or our spirit 
guides to speak to us in a booming voice and tell us exactly what we 
need to hear. But signs are usually of this earth and therefore easier 
to encounter. A song lodged in your mind or a number that seems to pop 
up everywhere you look after you've asked the universe for guidance can 
both be signs. Signs may come through the animal world, from strangers, 
or jump out of a book in the form of an insightful passage. A sign may 
be a direct answer to one of your questions. Other signs may point you 
in the right direction, warn of impending difficulties, or show you a 
different way. If you want the universe to send you a sign, tell it that
 you are ready and willing to accept its guidance.
Not everything you hear or see will be a sign. If you are receptive and 
patient, however, the signs you receive will become easier to recognize.
 It is important to listen to your intuition. A sign can mean many 
things to different people, and only you can decipher a sign's meaning 
is for you. As you practice reading the signs and following their 
guidance, the universe will send more of them your way.
