While each situation is all its own it usually shakes out like this:

You begin to see recurring numbers wherever you go. It’s almost as if they’re following you. The recurring numbers appear to you on license plates, clocks, on billboards, digital screens, book covers, zip codes, house numbers, odometers … you name it! You see the numbers 2:22 on your phone clock. You head to work and the mileage the odometer in the car reads 222. You swing by the coffee shop and in the drive-up lane you notice the car front of you has 222 on the license plate. At this point, you’re saying, “Alright Universe, what’s happening here?!” At first, this is a pleasant and welcomed surprise. You have a sense this is a synchronicity of some kind. You’re sure there is something bigger than you at work here. And, there is! The repeating numbers keep on though. In time, you notice that it’s happening to others around you. The surprise and delight turn to a spiritual knowingness of a higher power near which then turns to “I’ve seen enough … I’m a believer! Now, what’s the message Universe?”

Why You’re Seeing Repeating Numbers

Before we look at what the actual digits mean, you want to understand why these repeating numbers are coming to you!

Universal Matrix of Mathematics

Absolutely everything in the universe, even we as humans, are part of a mathematical structure. Look around you now, everything you see (and don’t see) is made up of particles. These particles have energy. You can think of the energy as a charge or frequency. This makes them spin. The spinning particles are purely mathematical. Even space, which has dimension, is mathematical having its own geometric pattern. When you understand that all things are mathematical you begin to understand why repeated numbers present themselves. It just makes sense. Not only that but when we are born into this world our unique number signature is encoded into our name and birth date. These numbers capture the essence of our life path.

Your Birth Number & Numerology

Numbers are the makeup of the universe and so it turns out that numbers are the easiest way for higher realms to get our attention. Even the day you were born comes with a powerful mathematical influence. Your birth day number is an extremely important mathematical number, albeit on a personal level. In the realm of Numerology, your birthday numbers are the five most influential numbers. This highly charged mathematical number reveals telling insight about your life calling, traits and skills you possess, and even challenges to be mindful of in life. At the core, mathematics is even deeply embedded in your birth day and is here to help you along your life’s path.

With this in mind, let’s now look a bit further behind the coming of these recurring numbers.

What’s the Point in This Numbers Communication?

As you already know, recurring numbers are a higher message confirming goodness and divine aligning in your life. To be more specific however, a few other things may also be happening:

1. Spiritual Awakening: When someone is undergoing a spiritual awakening, which often comes on the heels of a depression, loss, or life trauma of some kind, you begin to see the world through a new lens. Desires, interests and hobbies and even friends change. New things move you. It becomes important to spend every moment of every day doing the things you enjoy most and with people who add to your life. You begin to set boundaries with people and speak your voice. It is during this time that you may begin to see recurring numbers as the Universe knows you’re ready to receive them and the insight that comes with them.
2. Warnings and/or Support: Sometimes recurring numbers are a strong nudge and even a warning to listen up and pay attention. Other times, it’s your Higher Self saying hello, letting you know they are present and supporting you.
3. You’re on Track: Being in alignment means you have never been in a more perfect time and place that is right for you, than now. Over there, figuratively speaking, is not better than where you are now. Regardless what your present circumstance, where you are now is perfect. Even in chaos or a bottoming out, you’re in alignment. That’s a tough one to swallow, isn’t it? Think of it like this: the bottoming out you may be in directly correlates with the extent of the momentum coming to you ahead. In this perspective perhaps now, you can grasp that and understand that you are always in alignment. Settle into the knowing that there is a perfect plan in place, it’s unraveling now and you’re doing just fine.

What to Do When You See Repeating Numbers

It’s important for you to know what to do when you see these repeating numbers mean. Let’s begin!

• When you are in a situation in which you’ve seen a recurring number pay attention to what has just happened in the hour prior and after.
• Consider what you were thinking in that very moment as the numbers present.
• Emotions are the single best way that our Higher Self, Guides, and loved ones can reach us. So, consider the emotions you’re feeling in the moment the recurring numbers are delivered.
• Take a deep breath, exhale and say, out loud, “Show me what I am meant to know about this recurring number Universe.” Then, tune into all senses: sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. Let the message come to you through your senses. Trust the very first message you receive. It may be a slight knowing or a gut sense. Trust it. You may receive an image, or flash of images somewhat like a movie. You may know exactly what it means or may be unsure what it means just yet. If you’re unsure, it’s okay! That is still your answer. Just let it be until the knowingness of its meaning breaks through to your conscious mind. This can take a day or two.
• Remember to offer thanks to the higher forces who are bringing this invaluable insight. When I’m shown a recurring number I say, “I’m honored to receive this message of meaningful guidance. I offer deep gratitude for this.”
