Are Angels Trying to Contact You? What to Know and Do

Have you ever felt like someone—or something—is trying to get your attention from the other side? Maybe you’ve caught a repeating number like 1111, found feathers in random places, or had an intense gut feeling you couldn’t explain. If so, you may be receiving messages from angels.

In this blog post, we’re diving deep into the signs, signals, and sensations that often indicate spiritual beings are trying to guide or support you. More importantly, we’ll talk about how you can begin recognizing these messages and acting on them.

You're Not Alone—Even If It Feels That Way

No matter what you’re going through—a major life change, loss, confusion, or even success—know this: you are never truly alone. You are always supported by a spiritual realm made up of angels, spirit guides, archangels, and sometimes even your loved ones who have passed on.

But the big question is: are you paying attention to their signs?

Many people miss these divine nudges because their minds are cluttered with daily stress. Others ignore them out of disbelief or simply not knowing what to look for. But once you start tuning in, you’ll begin to see how much love and guidance is surrounding you every day.

Signs That Angels Are Trying to Contact You

Here are some of the most common ways angels and spiritual guides send messages:

1. Dreams

Dreams are one of the most powerful ways angels communicate with us. While we sleep, our conscious minds are quiet, allowing the subconscious—and divine messages—to rise to the surface. If you’re not writing down your dreams, you could be missing out on life-changing insight.

2. Numbers and Repeating Sequences

Seeing repeating numbers like 111, 444, or 888 is one of the most well-known angelic signs.

111/1111 – Spiritual awakening, alignment, or a new beginning.
222 – Partnerships, faith, and trust in the journey.
333 – Mind, body, spirit alignment and support from ascended masters.
444 – Angels are near, offering protection and guidance.
555 – Major change is coming; be ready.
666 – Check your balance between material and spiritual concerns.
777 – You’re on the right path; divine support is with you.
888 – Financial or personal abundance is flowing in.
999 – Completion of a cycle; step into your life’s purpose.

Start paying attention to what you’re thinking or feeling when you see these numbers—they’re not coincidences.

3. Feathers, Birds, and Coins

Finding feathers, especially in unexpected places, is a gentle reminder that you’re being watched over. Birds—especially cardinals and doves—often represent visits from loved ones who have passed. Coins can also be messages, especially if you find them repeatedly or in meaningful places.

4. Songs, Signs, and Synchronicities

Ever had a song come on right after you thought about someone? Or a line in a show or movie seem like it’s speaking directly to your situation? These are divine winks. So are random texts, calls, or conversations that seem too perfectly timed to be random.

5. Gut Feelings or Intuition

That voice in your head or pull in your belly telling you to go left instead of right? Pay attention to it. Angels often speak through intuition, nudging you gently toward or away from certain paths.

6. Smells, Tingles, and Sounds

Some people report smelling perfume, cigar smoke, or familiar scents linked to a loved one. Others hear high-pitched ringing, soft voices, or feel a light touch. These are often signs of spiritual presence.

Real-Life Example: The Voice That Changed Everything

There was a time when things weren’t going right with a rental property. After ignoring problem after problem, one day while driving, I clearly heard a voice in my right ear say: “Get rid of the management. Do it yourself.” It was firm, clear, and unlike my inner thoughts.

That same day, I fired the management company. I took charge—and everything changed. Vacancies were filled, stress dropped, and income stabilized. That was divine guidance. I had been getting nudges all along, but that moment was a turning point. Sometimes, when you don’t listen, spirit has to speak louder.

What You Can Do to Receive (and Understand) Angelic Messages

1. Quiet the Noise

Turn off distractions. Drive in silence. Sit with nature. Just a few minutes a day of peace can make a difference.

2. Ask for Guidance

Out loud or in your heart, ask your angels and spirit guides to assist you. Be specific: “Please help me understand what I need to know,” or “Show me a sign today.”

3. Pay Attention

Don’t chase signs—just notice them. When something unusual happens, pause and ask, “What was I just thinking or asking about?” The sign usually connects to a thought or question from earlier.

4. Act on the Guidance

When you get a clear message—whether it’s a gut feeling, a dream, or a sign—reflect on it, then move forward with trust.

A Simple Visualization to Invite Your Angels In

Sit comfortably with your feet on the floor, palms up.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
Imagine yourself descending rainbow-colored steps—each one a different chakra color.
At the bottom, see golden double doors. Open them.
Enter a space filled with floating lights—these are your angels, guides, and loved ones.
Say:
“I invite you to support and guide me. Help me feel your presence. Send me signs. Speak to me in a way I can understand. I am ready and open to receive.”
Thank them. Return back up the stairs, open your eyes, and carry that energy with you.

Final Thoughts

You are never alone. Every moment of your life is surrounded by divine guidance, love, and light. Whether it comes as a feather, a whisper, or a dream—trust that the universe is speaking to you.

The more you acknowledge the signs, the stronger and clearer they become.
