Discover five more powerful signs that angels are near in Part 2 of Signs Angels Are Around You. From mysterious scents to flickers of light, learn how to recognise and interpret angelic messages in your everyday life.
Ever noticed a little sign that felt too perfect to be random? A familiar scent drifting through the air, a sudden chill, or a song playing at just the right moment?
If you've ever felt like the universe was sending you a message, you're not alone. Across cultures and centuries, people have reported experiencing subtle but powerful signs - moments that feel like whispers from something beyond.
In Part 1, we explored five common signs that angels may be trying to reach you. But those were just the beginning. In this follow-up, we're exploring more incredible ways angels might be leaving their mark in our daily life. From mysterious scents to flickers of light, here's what to look out for - and why these signs might not be coincidences after all.
1. Unexplainable Scents
Ever caught a sudden whiff of something beautiful - like flowers, vanilla, or a perfume that reminds you of someone - when there’s no obvious source? You stop, inhale again, maybe even glance around to see if you can trace it. But there’s nothing. No candles burning. No fresh flowers nearby. Just that fleeting, almost otherworldly scent lingering in the air.
It’s easy to brush off, but many people believe that certain scents are a way for angels or loved ones to make their presence known. Unlike feathers or numbers, which you see, this is something you sense - something that catches you off guard and makes you pause, even for just a moment.
Some say that angels have their own unique fragrance - a soft, comforting scent that carries a feeling of peace and reassurance. Others believe these scents are messages from loved ones who have passed, a way for them to gently remind you that they’re still with you, even if you can’t see them.
What Scents Are Associated With Angelic Presence?
🌸 Flowers - A common angelic sign, especially roses or lilies, often linked to divine energy and protection.
🌿 Vanilla & Sweet Spices - A soothing, warm presence, as if you’re being comforted by unseen support.
🌊 Fresh, Clean Scents (Rain, Ocean, or Crisp Air) - A reminder of renewal, new beginnings, and peace.
💫 Incense or Myrrh - Often associated with spiritual awakening and deeper connections to the divine.
What If the Scent Reminds You of Someone?
If you suddenly smell a perfume or cologne that reminds you of a loved one who has passed, it could be a personal sign from them. Many people have shared stories of catching a brief scent of their grandmother’s favourite perfume, their dad’s aftershave, or even the smell of a home-cooked meal that reminds them of family.
A Personal Example: I remember once sitting alone, deep in thought about my husband. Out of nowhere, I caught the unmistakable scent of his old leather jacket and tobacco - two things I hadn’t been around in years. The moment was fleeting, gone in seconds. But in that instant, I just knew - he was there, even if I couldn’t see him.
What Should You Do If You Experience an Unexplainable Scent?
Pause & Acknowledge – Take a deep breath. What does the scent remind you of? Does it bring up a feeling or memory?
Say Thank You – Whether it’s an angel or a loved one, acknowledging their presence with gratitude can strengthen your connection.
Trust Your Intuition – If it felt meaningful, trust that it was. You don’t need a logical explanation for something that feels real to you.
Not everything in life has to be explained. Some things - like love, connection, and those little whispers from the universe - are meant to be felt.
So, the next time you catch a scent out of nowhere, don’t just dismiss it. Breathe it in, smile, and know that maybe, just maybe, you’re not alone.
2. Seeing Flashes of Light or Orbs
You’re sitting quietly, lost in thought, when - just for a second - you catch it. A flicker. A tiny burst of light. Maybe it’s a soft glow in the corner of the room, a quick shimmer in the air, or a small, floating orb in a photo you didn’t notice at first. It’s so brief that you almost brush it off. But something about it lingers.
Some believe these light anomalies are angelic presences - a way for them to manifest in a way that we can perceive, even if just for a fleeting moment. A little wink from the universe, a gentle reminder that you're not alone.
Sceptics might call it a trick of the eye - dust catching the light, reflections, camera glare. And sure, sometimes that’s exactly what it is. But what if it happens right when you’re thinking about a loved one who has passed? Or at the exact moment you’ve asked for guidance? What if, in that instant, it doesn’t feel random at all?
What Do Flashes of Light or Orbs Mean?
Angel Presence – Some believe angels or spirit guides appear as small bursts of light, flickering just at the edge of your vision. It’s their way of letting you know they’re near, watching over you.
Spiritual Energy – Light anomalies can also symbolise high vibration energy, meaning you might be in a space where spiritual activity is heightened. It’s often associated with moments of deep thought, meditation, or emotional reflection.
A Message from a Loved One – If you see a soft glow, an orb in a photograph, or a quick sparkle of light, and it instantly reminds you of someone who has passed, trust that feeling. Many believe these are signs of love and connection from the other side.
Types of Light Anomalies People Experience:
Small Floating Orbs - Seen in photos or even with the naked eye, these are believed to be spiritual energy - Often appearing in places of high vibration or strong emotion.
Quick Light Flickers - A tiny flash of white, gold, or blue light out of the corner of your eye, often linked to angelic presence.
Shimmers or Glowing Mist - A soft, almost transparent light in the air, making the space feel warm, peaceful, or otherworldly.
Flashes at the Perfect Moment - Seeing a sudden burst of light right after asking for a sign or during a meaningful thought can feel like an intentional message.
What Should You Do If You See a Flash of Light or an Orb?
🌟 Pause & Observe - Instead of dismissing it, take a moment. What were you just thinking about? Did the light feel peaceful, comforting, or significant?
🌟 Trust Your Intuition - If it felt like more than just coincidence, believe in that moment. Sometimes, the universe speaks in ways we don’t expect.
🌟 Express Gratitude - Whether it’s an angelic presence or a sign from a loved one, a simple “thank you” can help strengthen your awareness of these signs.
🌟 Stay Open to More Signs - Often, these light flickers are just one piece of a bigger pattern. Pay attention to other signs - feathers, repeating numbers, or feelings of peace that can't be explained.
More Than Just a Trick of the Eye…
Could it be dust? A camera flare? A random reflection? Maybe. But sometimes, things happen too precisely, too meaningfully, too perfectly to be written off as coincidence.
So the next time you catch a flicker of light, a tiny orb in a photo, or a gentle shimmer in the air - pause, smile, and wonder. Because maybe, just maybe, it’s a little reminder from beyond.
3. Animals Acting Strangely Around You
Ever had a dog stare at something behind you, tail wagging at nothing? Or a cat fixate on a corner of the room, eyes wide, completely transfixed? Maybe they suddenly perk up, ears twitching, watching something you can’t see. It’s enough to make you turn around - just in case.
Animals are often believed to be far more sensitive to energy than we are. While we rely on logic and sight, animals tune into vibrations, shifts in the atmosphere, and things beyond the physical world. That’s why some people believe that when pets act strangely - staring at empty spaces, tilting their heads as if listening, or behaving unusually calm in a moment of stress - they might actually be sensing an angelic presence.
Why Do Animals React to the Unseen?
Heightened Senses - Animals, especially dogs and cats, have sharper hearing and vision than humans. What seems like “nothing” to us might be a frequency or movement we simply can’t detect.
Sensitivity to Energy - Many believe that pets can sense spirits, angels, or the presence of a loved one who has passed. A dog suddenly resting its head on your lap during a moment of sadness or a cat curling up beside you after a deep thought about someone you've lost - these small acts can feel like more than coincidence.
A Protective Instinct - Some animals, particularly dogs, may act as spiritual guardians, alerting you to energies around you. Ever seen a dog barking at an empty space? It might just be their way of acknowledging something unseen.
A Message Through Nature - It’s not just pets, either. Some believe birds, butterflies, or other animals appearing at significant moments are messages from angels. A robin landing near you right when you’re thinking of a loved one. A butterfly resting on your hand during a moment of reflection. A stray cat showing up at your door repeatedly when you’re in need of comfort.
Animals as Messengers from the Divine
Certain animals are often associated with spiritual signs and guidance:
Birds - Many cultures believe that birds, especially robins, cardinals, and doves, carry messages from angels or loved ones who have passed. If a bird appears at a meaningful moment, it could be a gentle reminder that you are not alone.
Butterflies - Often seen as symbols of transformation, hope, and connection to the spirit world. A butterfly appearing at just the right time might be a sign of renewal or reassurance.
Bees & Dragonflies - In many spiritual traditions, these creatures are thought to represent joy, persistence, and guidance from the universe.
Pets Acting Differently - If your pet suddenly becomes extra affectionate, stares at a particular spot, or reacts to something unseen, it might be sensing a higher presence around you.
What Should You Do If an Animal Reacts to Something You Can’t See?
🐾 Observe Without Fear - Instead of feeling uneasy, consider it a moment of curiosity. Is your pet relaxed or excited? Does it feel peaceful?
🐾 Trust Your Feelings - If your pet’s behaviour coincides with a thought about a loved one, a time of deep reflection, or an emotional moment, take it as a possible message of comfort and presence.
🐾 Acknowledge the Sign - If you feel a connection to the experience, say a quiet thank you, whether to the universe, an angel, or the memory of someone you love.
🐾 Stay Open to More Signs - Often, spiritual messages come in patterns. If your pet’s unusual behaviour repeats or aligns with other signs (like feathers, numbers, or dreams), pay attention. It could be more than just coincidence.
Maybe They See What We Can’t…
Could it be a random reaction? Sure. But sometimes, the timing is too perfect, the feeling too strong, the moment too precise to ignore.
So next time your pet fixates on something unseen, or a bird lands right next to you during a moment of reflection, don’t just dismiss it. Pause. Observe. Maybe even smile. Because whether it’s an angel, a loved one, or just the universe reminding you that you are not alone - sometimes, animals know before we do.
4. A Sudden, Overwhelming Sense of Peace
Ever been in the middle of a stressful situation - your mind racing, heart pounding - when suddenly, out of nowhere, everything just... settles? The noise in your head quiets, your breathing slows, and for a brief moment, you feel completely at ease.
It just doesn’t make sense. Nothing externally has changed, but somehow, deep inside, you just know - everything is going to be alright. Some say this is the most powerful sign of all.
Angels, if they exist, aren’t about grand, theatrical displays. There are no trumpets, no golden beams of light breaking through the clouds (at least, not usually). Sometimes, their presence is as simple as a feeling - a quiet, unshakeable sense of peace right when you need it most.
A whisper in your heart: You’re safe. You’re not alone. Keep going.
When Do These Feelings of Peace Happen?
People who have experienced these sudden waves of calm often describe them happening in moments of:
Deep sadness or grief - Right when emotions become overwhelming, a soothing presence washes over, as if someone unseen is offering comfort.
Anxiety or fear - When worry takes over, and then - a warm reassurance sets in, reminding you that everything will work out.
Decision-making - When facing uncertainty, and a deep, instinctive knowing emerges, guiding you toward the right choice.
Random, ordinary moments - Sitting in a car, walking in nature, drinking a cup of tea - peace can arrive when you least expect it, but when you most need it.
Sometimes, these moments feel like a hug from the universe, a gentle divine embrace reminding you that you’re supported, even when life feels heavy.
Could This Be an Angelic Presence?
For those who believe, these moments of peace are not random. They are a sign - a message that you are loved, protected, and guided. Some even describe them as:
A warm sensation in the chest or shoulders, like an unseen hand resting on them.
A feeling of being “wrapped” in love, like a soft, invisible embrace.
The sudden disappearance of anxiety, as if negativity has been lifted away.
A quiet, reassuring thought appearing in their mind out of nowhere: "You're not alone."
Skeptics might call it psychology - a coping mechanism, a shift in brain chemistry - and maybe sometimes, that’s true. But what if it isn’t? What if the timing is too perfect? What if it happens exactly when you need it most - when you’re breaking, doubting, losing hope?
What if it’s something more?
How to Embrace These Moments of Peace
Pause & Breathe - When you feel a wave of calm, allow yourself to fully experience it. Let it settle in your heart.
Acknowledge It - Whether you believe in angels, the universe, or the power of intuition, recognise the moment for what it is: a gift.
Say Thank You - A simple expression of gratitude - whether whispered aloud or felt internally - can strengthen your connection to these moments.
Stay Open to More - The more you notice these signs, the more you may start to recognise them in unexpected places.
More Than Just a Feeling…
Could it just be your mind playing tricks? A random shift in mood? Sure it can, but sometimes, what we feel is more real than what we can see. Maybe that wave of calm wasn’t just random. Maybe it was a quiet presence, a message in the stillness, a sign from something greater than ourselves.
So the next time you feel that sudden, overwhelming sense of peace, don’t dismiss it. Breathe it in. Let it stay. Because maybe, just maybe, it’s someone - or something - watching over you.
5. Hearing Meaningful Songs or Messages at the Perfect Time
Ever been lost in thought, questioning something in your life, and suddenly - the perfect song comes on? The lyrics seem to speak directly to you, as if the universe just handed you the answer you were looking for.
Maybe it’s a song that reminds you of someone you’ve lost, playing unexpectedly on the radio. Maybe you’re struggling with a big decision, and a song about trusting the journey comes on just when you need it. Or perhaps you're walking through a store, mind racing with worries, and over the speakers, you hear words that feel like they were meant for you: "You are not alone." Coincidence? Maybe, but sometimes, the timing feels too perfect to ignore.
Could This Be a Sign?
Many people believe that angels, spirit guides, or loved ones who have passed send messages through music, knowing that songs reach us in ways nothing else can. Music bypasses logic - it goes straight to the heart, evoking emotions, memories, and clarity in a way words alone often can’t.
🎶 Reassurance & Comfort - A song plays that brings you peace, reminding you that you are supported, even in difficult moments.
🎶 A Message from a Loved One - A tune that was special to someone who has passed comes on just when you’ve been thinking about them.
🎶 Encouragement or Guidance -The lyrics match exactly what you needed to hear, as if offering an answer or nudge in the right direction.
🎶 A Sign to Pay Attention - If a particular song keeps showing up repeatedly, it may be a sign to stop, listen, and reflect on its meaning.
More Than Just Music…
These messages don’t always come through songs. Sometimes, it’s a line from a movie, a phrase on a billboard, a snippet of conversation overheard at just the right moment. The common thread? It feels like it was meant for you.
A lyric. A phrase. A whisper in the noise of the world, cutting through just when you need it most.
What Should You Do When You Hear a Meaningful Song or Message?
🎵 Pause & Reflect - What were you thinking about before you heard it? Does it connect to something happening in your life?
🎵 Trust the Feeling - If it feels significant, don’t dismiss it. Signs often come in ways we least expect.
🎵 Say Thank You - Whether it’s from an angel, the universe, or a loved one beyond, acknowledging the message can strengthen your awareness of future signs.
🎵 Write It Down - Keep a journal of these little occurrences. Over time, you may notice a pattern - a conversation unfolding between you and the unseen.
A Whisper in the Noise…
Could it be random? Sure. But sometimes, a song plays at just the right moment, a phrase jumps out at you from a stranger’s conversation, and suddenly - you just know. It means something.
So the next time the perfect words arrive at the perfect time, don’t brush it off too quickly. Smile, listen, and maybe, just maybe, whisper thank you. Because in a world full of noise, sometimes the messages that matter most come through the quietest melodies.
So... Have You Seen Signs Angels Are Around You?
That’s for you to decide.
Some believe without hesitation, feeling their presence in every sign, every flicker, every perfectly timed moment. Others love the idea but aren’t quite sure. And some think it’s all just coincidence—our minds making meaning out of the random.
But here’s the thing. Sometimes, the timing is too perfect to ignore. The right sign at the right moment. A scent, a song, a light that flickers just when you needed reassurance. The unshakeable feeling that someone, somewhere, is watching over you.
"Believe in signs. They are everywhere, waiting to be noticed."
Maybe angels aren’t winged beings in glowing robes. Maybe they don’t arrive with trumpets or grand pronouncements. Maybe they are something quieter - gentle nudges, unexpected comforts, tiny miracles hidden in the everyday.
And maybe - just maybe - paying attention to these signs makes us feel a little more connected, a little more guided, a little more seen. Isn’t that kind of beautiful?
