The spirit world wants to talk to you. It’s hard to establish a connection when one side is blocking it, though, so it’s important to be aware of your activities that may be preventing a two-way flow of messages. The most obvious one is your limiting belief system which can prevent you from receiving messages. There are a few simple ways for anyone to communicate with spirits such as dead loved ones and spirit guides.
I believe that anyone can be a psychic medium, but some of us are just naturally prone to reaching past the physical world to see the signs and hear the messages. It takes a personal paradigm shift to see that the world isn’t completely physical and there’s more to reality than meets the eye.

You are surrounded by spirits who care very much about you – both those that you’ve known in life and others. They are your spirit guide team – always there trying to support and guide you.
Below in this article, you’ll learn how to communicate with spirits. Keep in mind that these practices won’t really have any effect unless you believe that spirits are with you — which they are — and you’re willing to open your mind to receive the messages that spirits are desperately trying to send you.
1. Speak Out Loud to Them
When you have a conversation with the spirits that surround you, it makes it more real for you. It’s so hard for most people to truly believe that they’re talking to dead loved ones. When you verbally have a conversation (instead of just in your head) then you may discover that you can truly feel their presence with you.
Words are vibrations and they can be therapeutic for you as you form your thoughts into clear and concise intentions.
The more you express yourself out loud, the more you make it all real. Although spirits probably can hear your thoughts as well as your words, it’s good for you to be able to put thoughts into words so that you can understand your problems better. You can work things out with them that you normally wouldn’t if you keep it all inside your mind.
It’s good for your mental health to speak out loud to them — just don’t let anyone else hear you because they’ll think you’re insane.
2. Ask for Signs
Part of speaking to the spirits is working with them. You want answers, right? Ask them to provide some for you.
It’s always possible to ask for a sign that confirms you’re not crazy and it’s all real. Ask them to show you something that proves you’re really talking to them. You can ask for any kind of sign and wait, or ask for a specific one that you choose — like a purple dragonfly or a red balloon.
Trust me, this works. You have to believe in it, though, or you may miss it completely.
You may find that you can communicate with spirit guides just by asking and receiving.
3. Release Anger, Grief, and Stress
Negative emotions that are based on fear will block your intuition and your ability to have conversations with the spirit world. When you’re feeling a huge amount of grief, even though this is a natural reaction to tragedy and loss, you will not be able to channel the messages that you would if you were calm. Similar emotions that can block your psychic abilities are anger and anxiety. The spirit world runs on love and joy, so messages will be able to come through stronger when you’re in a good mental place.
I am not saying you need to force yourself to have a positive mindset, but just be aware that this is a phenomenon. Feel your feelings and allow them to pass through so that you can gain clarity again.
4. Pay Attention to Sensations
Your body can tell you a lot. When you want to communicate with spirits and confirm that they’re around, you might get more than signs and intuitive messages. Sometimes, spirits will physically touch you.
You might feel a pat on the head or a chill through one side of your body. It could be so many things. Just don’t dismiss any sensation as purely physical — some sensations come direct from the spirit world.
5. Notice Animals
The natural world is a carrier of many messages. You might notice strange animal behavior, which is a confirmation that your spirit guides and dead loved ones are around. They want to get your attention and they can embody the energies of wild animals easily. Don’t ever doubt that the little cardinal who followed you home was your grandmother coming to tell you to pay attention!
Keep your awareness open to all kinds of signs around you, especially with regard to animals.
6. Listen to Your Intuition
The greatest instrument of two-way communication with the spirit realm is your own mind. Intuition is a powerful thing. You can learn to harness it so you can channel messages. But it takes work.
Start by closing your eyes and asking if anyone is there. If answers come from beyond the veil, acknowledge them and have a conversation. I have a feeling your spirit team is just waiting for you to open that door and finally allow them to tell you all the things. They’ve been desperate. Let them talk!
