How Are You Connected With The Universe?
Whether we believe in it or not, we are always connected to the universe. By always, I mean 24/7, 365 days a year. This connection is there from the time we take birth until we take our last breath. It’s the most natural thing in our life, but it’s something that the majority of us are not aware of and do not appreciate because we don’t realize the true power it holds in shaping our reality.
The universe constantly responds to our every thought, action, feeling, and behavior- this is precisely why it is suggested to always stay mindful of what we say and do. Mindfulness should be our way of living- a lifestyle that we need to adopt if we want a peaceful life, and who doesn’t want a happy life and future? No matter how different each one of us decides to live our life with our varied choices, our ultimate common goal is to manifest the best reality where everyone is happy and thriving.
We are one with the universe, which also means that we are the creators of our reality, but this fact needs a lot of processing, acceptance and responsibility. Some of you might say, “Okay, I agree I am one with the universe, but then why do I face failures?”
The answer to this is very simple- our every thought has the power to turn into a reality. When something unfavorable happens in the outer reality, it’s a sign from the universe to self-reflect and see what it is that needs to be changed within.
Our focus plays a key role here; whatever we focus on tends to amplify. So when we focus on positives, more blessings expand, and if we focus on negatives, they manifest in our outer reality as negative events. The solution to this is being mindful and keeping your focus in check, whenever you feel you’re going off track.
The more you put your energy into thinking, speaking and doing positive things in your life, the more you will attract positive people and the right situations in life.
Again, the question that might pop up here in your mind could be, “Okay, I understand the value of aligning with the positives in life, but how do I know the universe is supporting me?”
We get plenty of signs in our daily lives to know that the universe is always there for us. These signs can be as subtle as seeing repeated numbers, coming across an inspiring quote, or receiving a call from a long-lost friend. These are the universe’s ways of communicating with you, confirming that you are on the right path. By trusting this connection and staying open to receiving signs, you can create a life filled with purpose, balance and deeper understanding.
How Do You Know You Are Connected To The Universe?
Before we discuss this topic, first tell me, how do you know that your WiFi/ internet connection is active? You notice the bars of the connection, right? These blinking bars are a sign to show the active status of your internet access with your device. Sometimes, it can be weak; sometimes, it can be strong- all depends on how close you are to the range.
Apply the same logic to your connection with the universe. The bars here are signs you are connected to the universe, something we will discuss in detail below. It’s like you are thinking of changing your job, and suddenly, you hear a friend telling you about a vacancy in their office.
Ever noticed how sometimes you just feel happy without any reason? You smile and feel light from within. Know that this is a clear sign that you are connected with the universe and that it is always supporting you in whatever you’re doing. This peaceful feeling is a sign of being on the right path.
My top 3 practices to build a connection with the universe when I feel disassociated and disconnected are mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude– all three work on shutting out the outside world and going within to experience the power of silence and realigning your thoughts and energy.
The universe always works in our favour, no matter how bad the situation might seem. The universe will always guide you to what is best for you, even if it looks otherwise in the moment. The dots eventually do join, so trust the process.

5. Strong Intuition and Gut Feelings
The most prominent way that the universe connects with us is through our intuition, and the only way to sharpen it is by practicing sitting in silence for some time during the day. Know that you’re on the right track when you just “know” what to do, even without logical proof. Your intuition deepens when you listen to it with full faith.
6. Vivid Dreams with Messages
The universe connects with us through our dreams as our subconscious is the most active when we are asleep, and this is when we can access most of our mind.

This unwavering faith and trust are signs you are connected to the universe and that in due time, you will get rewarded by the universe.
Does The Universe Really Test You ?
What might seem like a test is actually the universe’s way of ensuring that you are on in alignment with the universal plan.
The reason we face similar situations in life is because we are stuck in a loop with repeated events and reactions. The moment we break free from these cycles by changing our reactions and outlook toward them is the moment we break the chain of attracting those types of events in life. This awareness is just another form of healing.
These cycles or chains of events keep repeating themselves because that is how the universe works. Instead of looking at it like a test, look at it as a reminder from the universe to clean up your past and break free from the shackles that have been disturbing you.
The universe shows us time and again that it is in our hands to change our reality and that we have the power within to manifest whatever we want. It sends us critical situations in life to help us grow, evolve, and align with our highest potential. Challenges and hurdles are not meant to break you but to make you a better version of yourself. They build confidence, wisdom and faith.
Just like how a teacher gives a random test to check your knowledge about the subject, the universe also presents random events to check if you have actually grown or if you still need some inner cleaning to do. These tests prepare you to handle greater responsibilities in the future.
Let’s say you have an inner pattern of attracting toxic friends and relationships in life. The universe might put you in similar situations where you’ll meet more weird people until you realize your pattern and take steps to choose a different reality. These tests are just reminders to self-reflect and push yourself to choose the best in life.
Have faith in your abilities and your worth to receive the best. Always choose abundance when faced with challenges, and trust that the universe is always on your side and that whatever is happening is for your highest good. When you walk with this ideology and belief, you prove that you’re worthy of receiving blessings in life and guess what? The universe does reward you with the best in every area of life.
