 The Universe Is Talking to You
Are you listening?
THANK YOU for being here. In my world there are no coincidences.
As always, take what resonates and leave the rest.

The Universe is talking to you all the time and it is not a one-
way conversation. Once I was walking through the West Village in
New York City, making plans for my life. I looked up and asked the
angels to show me that they were there with me; I wanted
assistance in cleansing my energy field of any residue from the
past. A second later, my path was blocked by a huge white van.
On the side it read: Angelo’s Cleaning Service.

That was pretty clear, right? But sometimes it also can happen
that you receive a sign and don’t know what it means or if you can
trust it. You may think that you made it up or manifested something
you wanted to see. Actually, both can be true. What if I told you
that you DID make it up, and that most certainly you manifested it?

As random as they may seem, signs are a natural part of your

reality, your own unique language and story, your personal
navigation system. You are the one who interprets them, deciding
which ones get to be part of your story and have enough meaning

5

for you to call them signs. The Universe Is talking to you and you
are talking back to it and teaching it how to communicate with you.

Tip 1
Pay Attention
There are no coincidences.
PAY ATTENTION to everything. Open your eyes. Choose to see
with the eyes of curiosity, as if you just opened your eyes for the
first time. Allow your inner child to play with you. Imagine as a child
would imagine.

The imagination is the main tool of our intuition. The more you
practice imagining, the bigger the palette of your intuition grows.
We often hear: “It is just your imagination.” Please don’t buy into
that.

Be free to be inspired in your own way. Know yourself. What is

really important to you? What do you value above all else? If the
world was based on your values, what would it look like? The more
deeply and intimately you know yourself and your values, the more
you will be able to recognize your signs when you see, feel, hear,
sense the ones that resonate and have a personal meaning for you.

6

 Be honest with yourself, so that instead of escaping into wishful
thinking, being invested in the answer, or trying to fool yourself or
the Universe by asking for a sign, look for a true alignment and
clear connection with what you will recognize to be the truth. Allow
the truth to be revealed to you through signs. Give yourself a gentle
space to pause and to pay attention. To listen. To see. To feel. To
know.

Your Truth-o-Meter
YOUR BODY is a Truth-o-Meter. Pay attention to how you feel. Any
subtle change could be your Truth-o-Meter giving you a sign.
Personally, I get shivers all over when I'm in the presence of truth.
The clearer we are, the more we can trust our reactions.

Remember, there is no absolute truth, only our interpretation of

it.

You can play with asking simple yes or no questions. I ask a

question: “Am I a woman, yes or no?” And I imagine a billboard
lighting up with the answer. I would certainly hope that in my case
the answer would be YES, otherwise I know that I cannot trust this
system. When I get reliable answers, I might ask questions like: “Is
this the sign I have been asking for, yes or no?” You could also
imagine a traffic light and “see” a green light for YES or red light
for NO.

 There are many divination tools that you might feel called to
explore. One that I like is a pendulum. I do have a beautiful
serpentine stone pendulum. Serpentine is the stone of Machu
Picchu, so I feel very connected to it. But you don’t need a fancy
pendulum, you can use anything that hangs and has a little weight,
like a necklace or keys on a longer chain.

You would hold the pendulum still and then say: “Show me
YES.” And wait for it to move. Your pendulum can move sideways
for YES, or up and down, or in a circle. There is no rule. After that
you will say: “Show me NO.” Your pendulum will show your NO.

For me the movements are always the same whether I use an

actual pendulum or any homemade device. Should the pendulum
not move for you, then that is your sign. It is not the tool for you at
this time.

Vision Board/Sign Post

WHEN YOU want to hear the Universe speaking, you could also
make a vision board. This is a way to explore your passion,
purpose, gifts, talents, value, and meaning. As you fill the board
with pictures, words, and colors that represent the essence of what
you wish to manifest, these things all become signs that you will
recognize when you see them. Your vision board is a sign post.

 Once without thinking too much I put a picture of a dolphin on
my vision board, and a few days later two ladies from Hawaii wrote
to me that they were in Cusco for only a day and would like to meet
me. They had contacted me because someone who couldn’t
remember my last name had told them they should look me up
when in Cusco. So, armed by only my first name and the word flute
they found me on Google. This was divine timing, because I had
just gotten home that day from a trip. We met and felt an immediate
and undeniable soul connection. Not too long after that I was
already in Hawaii swimming with dolphins with these two amazing
wise women. Stay tuned for sacred journeys to Hawaii.

Take notice of encounters with strangers, of conversations,

words, images, colors, numbers, and sounds. What do they mean?
You choose how to interpret them. Imagine. Dream. Play. Pay
attention.

 Tip 2
Discover Your Sign Language
The signs are everywhere. Recognize them.
IF YOU HAD A CLEAR SIGN that was meaningful to you, what
would it be? An animal? A color? A word? A symbol? A sound? A
fragrance?

A sign can be anything. You choose. Talking to the Universe is

about inventing your language and discovering your own unique
system of signs and the vocabulary within. It is about playing with
the Universe.

Have you ever had the same dream over and over? Do you ever
hear the same songs again and again? Are you seeing feathers
wherever you go? Rainbows? Do you repeatedly see double, triple,
or quadruple digits, like 11, 22:11, 333, and 8888?

Sometimes the signs keep coming until we pay attention to

them. We might get the same message in many different ways. The
Universe will use whatever it can to get our attention. We often are
signs for one another too.

It is OK to study the meanings of it all from books or pages on

the internet, but when you do you will notice that there are often

10
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
many explanations or interpretations. And that is OK. Remember,
you are the ultimate interpreter. You are the expert in the meaning
of your own sign language.

While making a vision board is more like daydreaming, pay

attention also to your dreams at night. Dreams carry symbolic as
well as literal information. Just like signs, dreams draw symbolic
language from your imagination and your subconscious.

I suggest you keep a dream journal. Every morning when you

wake up, make notes of your dreams in it. When you start writing
down your dreams, you will begin to create the lexicon of your own
sign language.

For example, if you dream about a white horse running in the

ocean in the moonlight, ask yourself, and only yourself: “What does
a horse represent to me?” “What does a white horse mean to me?”
“Was the ocean calm or were there big waves in it?” “Why
moonlight?” “What do these elements reveal to me?” The more
you pay attention to the signs you're given, the more insights you
will have when you see signs.

If you feel guided to look up other people's interpretations of the

horse as a spirit animal, by all means look them up. I do that too.
But remember always to filter any information you find or are told
through your own Truth-o-Meter.

 A note for you, if you are suffering

FOR YOU, BEAUTIFUL SOUL, who might be in a painful situation

or feel stuck right now for any reason, know that my heart goes out
to you. Sometimes life can give us very difficult and challenging
experiences. I do not pretend that seeing the signs is easy or even
a priority in those circumstances. Choosing love can feel like an
impossible or even an irritating suggestion. I know.

Please, use any intuitive skills to find the best support team for
you. Ask for help and be willing to receive. Trust. Each situation in
life calls for a unique healing path that moves exactly at the right
pace for you. Especially when things are hard, it is often best to
take small, gentle, nurturing, forgiving, compassionate, practical,
everyday kind of healing steps.

Would you be willing to learn to love yourself a little bit?

Especially the parts that feel the most unlovable?

 Tip 3
Raise Your Vibration
Breathe in the nurturing energy of the earth through your feet.
Feel your connection to the earth.
At the same time, breathe in the energy of the heavens through the
top of your head. Feel a shower of light washing through you.
Lengthen your spine, reach your arms up to the sky, and feel how
your entire being is filled with sparkling golden light.
Imagine a soft, gentle space opening within your heart.
And breathe.

IT IS AS IMPORTANT to take care of your vibration as it is to

shower and brush your teeth. Ultimately, the Universe responds to
your vibration, not to your words or actions alone.
As you raise your vibration, the matrix of possibilities you can
access changes. You can elevate yourself to be ready to trust life,
trust yourself, and trust your signs. Would you like to try now?

Think of something that makes you excited or grateful or happy.

Close your eyes and feel it. Imagine it in as many detail as possible.
Where do you feel it most in your body?

Do you feel it? You just raised your vibration.

Gratitude is one of the most powerful frequencies. Make a list of

all the things you are grateful. Feel each one of them. Start a
gratitude journal. Write in it every day and watch your life change.
13
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
 When you change your posture, you change your vibration.
When you are standing tall and breathing deeply, you begin to feel
stronger and stronger. Try this: Straighten your spine, look up and
allow a deep breath in. Look straight ahead, exhale and smile. You
see clearer and expand in possibility. This is the best state to ask
for signs, to see them clearly and to trust them.

When you feel good about life, you feel good about yourself.
When you feel good about yourself, you trust yourself. And when
you trust yourself, you know how to read and trust the signs from
the Universe.

Everything that makes you feel lighter, that makes you feel
better, that makes you feel stronger, that makes you smile, that
makes you fall in love with life a little bit, and then a little bit more,
raises your vibration.

Acknowledge yourself! Love yourself! Celebrate yourself!

You can also set the intention that the Universe give you only
good signs. By that I mean signs that strengthen you, support you,
empower you, make you feel lighter, more resourceful and excited.
Signs that give you direction. Signs that instead of saying “NO,”
say “YES.” In fact, it would be best to choose in terms of what
serves me and what doesn’t serve me, rather than the quite limiting
good or bad. With signs as well as with life choices, we would do
ourselves a service to move from judgment to discernment. Instead
of fighting against what we don’t want (e.g. bad signs, war,
14
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
sickness), we could allow what we don’t want to reveal what we
DO want (e.g. good signs, peace, health), and choose that. And
keep choosing that, asking the signs to support you to show up
authentically in a meaningful way each and every day.

What are you saying YES to? Say it out loud followed by a strong
YES! Make any powerful gesture with your body when you do that.
Vary your voice. Remember, it is not necessary to shout, to show
power.

What are you saying YES to?

Love. YESSS.

Joy. YESSS.

Flow. YESSS.

Health. YESSS.

Courage. YESSS.

Creativity. YESSS.

Signs from the Universe. YESSS.

Clear signs I can trust. YESSS.

Make up many more. Witness how your vibration changes.

Feel how with each sound you become a unique expression of a
joyous resonance, one with the creative YES of the Universe.

 Tip 4
Choose Love
I am love. I choose to be love.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE ASK ME, "What about the wars in the world
and the climate change and the sickness and poverty, should we
be playing with the Universe when there is so much suffering?"

My answer is a gentle, loving, compassionate, and resounding

yes.

Remember the YES of the Universe. The kind Universe says yes
to your vibration. No judgment, no conditions. Your personal
energy matters, your vibrational contribution matters. What if we
all gave the world our love and joy and excitement and caring,
instead of judgment, worry, and fear? And remember, if you are
feeling low, or in need of help, there is no judgment in that either.
Only love. Be gentle with yourself. Take small steps. Choose
supporting signs. They are right here for you.

It is not just about being “positive,” or denying what’s going on

in the “real” world. It is about empowerment. About choice. About
taking your power back and stepping into your truth and freedom.
It is about a commitment to making this world a better and more
beautiful place. Change doesn’t happen by observing what’s
16
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
wrong, it happens by choosing what’s right and truthful. When we
are empowered, we are connected. We see with the eyes of clarity
and possibility and love. Any signs would reflect this and support
us on our path.

You know that you can’t be sick enough to help the sick, or poor
enough to help the poor. Only by being in your true power, and
learning to love and honor yourself, can you help the world. In fact,
you help just by showing up and embodying your authentic self.

Each action counts. Each choice counts. Each small step

toward your own heart’s fulfillment, presence, and happiness helps
the world. And the more you can be fully present with all of you,
the more you can help in a big and bigger way. Do you feel this?

You don’t need to move to India and become Mother Teresa.

You can begin right where you are. Starting with yourself. Invest
your energy wisely in something you wish to see grow and expand
in this world. That way you join forces with all the others who are
making that same commitment to invest into the bank of health,
wealth, healing, joy, happiness, good news, good signs and love.
And guess what? This is what miracles are made of. Everything
shifts, including your natural ability to trust and to flow in oneness
with the Universe.

What if instead of saying: “I want love.” You move from wanting

to being and say: “I am love.” “I choose to be love.” So be it. And,
so it is.

 Tip 5
Be Your Own Permission
The energy that creates worlds flows through you.

BY NOW YOU KNOW that the Universe speaks your language.

Tune in to listen, to see, to feel, and to trust. Give yourself
permission to trust. Give yourself permission to play with the
Universe.

We interpret signs all the time, using an agreed language, giving

meaning to things, deciphering the world based on all that we have
learned and experienced. Let’s choose to decode our experience
so that it serves us. Pay attention to the story you tell yourself or
others. Make sure your story serves what you would like to see
manifest.

Choose to see good signs. Choose to believe in miracles. In the

end, the signs themselves are not as important as the meaning you
give them.

Once in Cusco, I was walking with a powerful shaman, Benito.

We were on our way to do a ceremony for Pachamama, the
Peruvian name for Mother Earth, or the Mother of the Universe.
Pacha in the local Quechua language means not only Earth, but

18
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
also Universe, Cosmos, Time, and Space. I pointed out to him,
“Look! What a beautiful bird!” He smiled and said: “A good sign.”

“Look what I found,” I said, holding a crystallized rock in my

hand. He said: “A good sign.”

A flower. “A good sign.”

A bird song. “A good sign.”

After many, many, many good signs, I asked him, “Benito, are
there any bad signs?” He just smiled. No answer.

That was my sign. To remember that we have the freedom, first,

to choose to see the signs, and second, to interpret the signs
through our own consciousness—in the exact way our soul is
calling us to see them. That was the day I decided that, from then
on, I would choose to only see good signs.

What is the story you tell about your signs? Does your story
make you feel empowered? Excited? Light? Certain? Strong?
Peaceful? If not, you can choose again.

Every moment is a possibility to pause and to choose and to

change. Every moment is a moment of creation, a doorway, an
opportunity, an invitation, a sign. Your power lies in being present
within your own consciousness, within your own body in direct
alignment with the truth of your unique path, with the truth of your
heart and soul.

19
Copyright © 2019 by Ulla Suokko
 The truth is that you are way greater you ever thought possible.
You are a beautiful child of the Universe. The earth and the heavens
support you. Always. The energy that creates worlds flows through
you. You are it. It is you.

And in the end, don't overthink it. Trust yourself and your
creative powers. Say YESSS to life and have fun.
