Secret Language of Signs [Paperback]

Denise Linn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1996

In every moment the universe is whispering to you. Even ordinary events in your life carry communications from the realm of the Spirit. . . .
Whether we are conscious of it or not, the universe is communicating to us through signs. In this mind-opening book, renowned healer and author Denise Linn shows that coincidence, synchronicity, and those premonitions we've all experienced are never accidents but a kindly world's way of trying to nudge us in the right direction.
Drawing on firsthand true stories and native wisdom from around the world, Linn helps us regain our innate capacity to listen to the universe, to use the signs that speak to us every day of our lives. Step by step, she shows us how to call for a sign, how to create the best conditions for receiving it, and how to interpret the signs we receive, with the most comprehensive dictionary of signs ever compiled. Designed to help you develop your own ability to interpret signs as they call to you, the dictionary entries give you a starting point for understanding what your signs are communicating. For instance . .
* An abyss might symbolize a chasm in your life. Is there something that seems impassable to you?
* A storm can indicate internal conflict. It can also indicate that the air is clearing in regard to a situation in your life.
* A crossroads signifies that a time of decision is ahead. Take time and tune in to your intuition before choosing your future path.
* Smoke can be a warning of danger. Is there a situation in your life that's about to go up in flames? Smoke can also indicate a lack of clarity.
With this powerful, easy-to-use guide, Denise Linn helps us to reconnect with the magic of our inner selves to make the right decisions and choices in our lives.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Linn (Sacred Space: Clearing and Enhancing the Energy of Your Home, Ballantine, 1995), a healer and practitioner of interior alignment, discusses how signs and portents appear in our lives and how we can interpret them. Her present work assures the reader that the universe is always putting out signs that, if read properly, will furnish understanding and assistance from other realms. Linn also discusses how we can call for signs, as well as the role of mistakes and coincidences in our lives. The bulk of her book is a dictionary of meaning of signs, from major life changes such as miscarriages to small objects such as cameras or garbage. The meanings are frequently posed in the form of questions. While Linn's essays and introduction are intriguing to someone beginning to explore alternative consciousness or spirituality, the dictionary analyses are frequently incomplete and necessarily impersonal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Language of Signs, March 3, 2000

By 

Fatimah Omar (Rockford, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secret Language of Signs (Paperback)

Denise Linn is an author I trust. This book clarifies and teaches in countless examples how very ordinary things bring powerful messages to us everyday. At first I felt overwhelmed by my heightened awareness, then things began to settle into a natural, integrated process. The sign dictionary at the back of the book is vital to interpreting simple signs that keep reappearing. Reading signs is like learning a foreign language and her book is so easy to read I keep reading it over and over like a reference book. The personal stories she shares makes the book entertaining and instructional. GREAT BOOK - GREAT GIFT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Reference Guide to Interpreting Life's Coincidences, February 4, 2001

By 

Artemis Rising (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secret Language of Signs (Paperback)

I found this book shortly after it's 1996 publication, under the title SIGNPOSTS, and devoured it with great pleasure. It gives useful instruction on how to understand and interpret the messages which the Universe is constantly sending to us, if only we knew how to read them. It also helps the reader to become increasingly receptive to these signs, and more aware of the meaningful coincidences that ocur in everyone's life. The best thing about this book is that I've been able to go back to it, so many times over the years, to refer to the SINGPOSTS DICTIONARY - which always helps me to interpret a mysterious sign that has appeared in my life. Though such a dictionary could never be complete because of the infinite possibilities offered by the Universe, the definitions in Denise Linn's dictionary have always pointed me towards a deeper understanding of the magical signs and coincidences I've experienced. I highly recommend this book.

Yes, it is true that have the book is a "signs dictionary", but that is the part that I read and enjoy! I have found that these signs are relevant to every day life. I particularly have found the signs, Smoke, Hawk, Money, Rain, Death, and Owl to be right on the money. There are so many more! The signs, to me, point out some message from God in my everyday life. I just have to open my eyes. I have given this book as a gift, many times and will continue to do so! I strongly reccomend this book as "food for thought".
