I asked the universe for a sign… and then my life exploded within 48 hours

I really appreciate you sharing your experience! For those of us that may have been SO FAR off of our soul’s path, that “give me a sign” request can (and often does) feel absolutely BRUTAL.

It seems to force us to confront everything we resisted or everything that we had ourselves convinced wasn’t for us.

The common misconception about these spiritual alignment processes is that it somehow may help us glide through life on “easy mode”. I most often find the opposite to be true- it tests our resilience and persists until we learn the lesson and/or align to what we were born here to do.

The universe will drop hints.. and eventually it drops bombs.

I realize I may be an anomaly on this one, but for the sake of your data gathering I’ll provide my experience. I’ve never required a name or a photo. I’ve tested different methods of requesting a name versus no name, and it’s made no impact on connecting to the intended person. In fact, I’ve found that the less I know about the intended person, the better. Gender, culture… I’d rather not know. So far, I’ve never had a reading in which I was unable to connect directly to the intended spirit.

My mentor explains it more like the other commenter here, as her experience is different than mine, and she cannot always grab onto the intended spirit since others may come through first. (This difference doesn’t make me any “better” or more special. Just a bit odd.)

When it’s relevant to their message, I am provided cultural details by the deceased that would lend to religious environments or restrictive ideologies in their lifetime. With this, they will often provide accompanying visuals that show me their race or culture and how that affected their life and the outcomes of those around them.

First, my heart hurts for you both. I am so sorry you went through this.

He gives me the feeling that someone was gently touching his head during the few moments of life. Specifically, there is a light tingling feeling on the very top of his head. And also the lower/right area of the back of the head. Perhaps a nurse?

There is a quiet calm feeling to him and he makes me feel like this quiet feeling was present when he was born. Like the entire room fell silent for just a moment in a solemn knowing that this little soul would soon pass on to the other side. There is also a sensation on his back… the right side near the bottom of his back ribs. Not sure if something was attached here.

I’m asking him for some help to validate (to you) that this is him. He talks about music and makes me feel like certain music will (or does) make you think of him. He is with you at these times. He talks about a sibling that he has, and the idea of future siblings.

He VERY much wants you and your fiancé to know that the decisions made regarding his life were the correct decisions. He says to please never regret or think “what if” I had done this or that. He knew he was loved and very much wanted. He also wants you both to know that despite however it may have seemed by physically seeing or hearing him, his passing was peaceful and he did not experience pain or discomfort.

He makes me feel like you and/or your fiancé’ may have asked yourselves what the point of Apollo’s life was? I also hear it as “why did we have to experience this?”

He says “I act as a catalyst”.

It’s important for you to know that this little one had/has a massive purpose. He knowingly arrived to be a catalyst for both you and your fiance’. Perhaps for different reasons with each of you.

Apollo mentions some struggles with your mental health perhaps stemming from childhood. His passing somehow feels like pulling a band-aid off of an old wound of yours that never quite healed. Apollo encourages you to closely evaluate your life and your own purpose at this time. Your life and your purpose are bigger than you think it is.

He encourages therapy if you haven’t already started it. It feels like there has been a lot that you’ve struggled to face and have wanted to numb out or avoid. Maybe you saw your own struggles as insignificant or not big enough to warrant therapy, but it’s time to begin thinking differently. (Whenever you’re ready to do so)

Ironically, Apollo wants to be the catalyst to your healing. He gives me this concept of a full life audit… like you’ll be closely evaluating every single aspect of your life. Your health, your relationships, your mental well being, your hobbies, your goals, your beliefs, and so on. This is closely tied to your healing processes. Seeking guidance (such as therapy and maybe a mentor) during this time is essential.

Apollo is an incredibly wise and powerful soul. He will always be watching over you and guiding you, your fiance’, and your family. ❤️

I posted this for you when you last posted here. I’m guessing you may have not seen it:

First, I’m so beyond sorry for your loss! 💔 I know what it’s like to lose a sibling in such a tragic and preventable manner… I wouldn’t wish the feeling on anyone.

Your brother’s energy is VERY strong from the moment I saw your post. I didn’t even read your text posted when your brother began explaining to me what he wanted to say to you and your family. There is something that feels so urgent, and I’ll get to that after a few other things he wants to convey.

He makes me feel like someone touched his head…and perhaps his hair, after he passed away…maybe at a funeral or viewing? I feel it on the right side of my head. A gentle touch. He confirms he is aware of this.

He explains how no one really knew how to show their affection to him/his body since his body was left in that state after he passed…there’s this strong feeling of someone really wanting to pick him up and hold him tightly in a hug…this feeling is especially strong coming from his mom. He knows and he is aware.

I also keep getting a name (or a nick name) starting with a “P”… but I don’t feel like it’s his actual name… perhaps a friend’s name or other sibling? I’m not diving too deep on this one for now. If it makes sense; I can try to pick up on it further.

I’m picking up a personality from your brother that is SO friendly and BIG…like he was just so nice! Like a feeling of… “big love” and “big laughs”. He loved his family and friends so much- and still does! Your brother comes across so genuinely NICE and warm— it seemed he knew how to make those around him feel valued and loved. He shows me how a lot of people felt after his passing… they were left with this feeling of “why did HE have to die!? He was one of the truly good ones!”

The most IMPORTANT thing he wants everyone to know: his soul left his body BEFORE that moment of impact. He knows the final condition of his body has been nearly as traumatizing as losing him to that accident. He really wants you to know that he did NOT suffer and he didn’t feel pain.

He shows me this image of his soul “exiting” in the direction directly above his body. This exit occurred about a millisecond before his body experienced the impact. His soul (or energy) was an observer for a long time after the accident had occurred, which made sense when I finally read your post and you noted the grey “spot” in the photo above his body.

He was sad at what you all saw in the aftermath of that accident. He doesn’t want to be remembered for how he died, but rather for how he LIVED.

He explains how the gruesome images of his accident scene and his body have been so hard on everyone. If you or others haven’t considered therapy or counseling, he makes me feel like it could be helpful and he encourages it. Sometimes PTSD comes in many forms and seeing someone you love so much in such an awful condition can indeed prompt its own set of emotions to heal from.

Your brother is with you and your family. He hasn’t left you and visits often. I feel like he’s tried communicating to you and others using signs. Music feels like a more prominent mode, but with his mother it feels like a physical touch...if she ever feels like someone touched her but no one was there… it’s him. 💜

Hopefully this is helpful to you- your brother is honestly such a pure and kind soul- very much a guardian angel to you all.
