Awakening to Your Soul-Self
Welcome to Awakening to Your Soul-Self! The podcast where the messy, beautiful, fully human experience meets the spiritual.
We are all spiritual beings in human bodies, experiencing human life on earth. And with that comes everything: joy and heartbreak, purpose and confusion, connection and loss, transitions and transformations. It also comes with loud thoughts. So many of them. The anxious ones. The sad ones. The angry ones. The ones that keep us stuck, small, and playing it safe.
But somewhere beneath all of that, beneath the noise, beneath the human experience, beneath it all lives something quieter. Your intuition. Your soul-self. Your angels.
I'm Cristina, a clairaudient Angel Messenger and Angel Reiki Master Teacher — and yes, I actually hear the angels in my own voice. But I'm also just a human, doing the inner work and living the human experience right alongside you.
Each episode, we explore the full journey, the human stories that shape us, the loud thoughts that run the show, the patterns that hold us back, and the intuition and angel guidance that's been there all along. I'll share my own real experiences, bring in therapists, counselors, healers, and beautiful souls who have walked through the fire and found their light, and help you develop your own spiritual gifts so you can hear what your angels and Spirit Team are trying to tell you.
This is the show for anyone navigating the beautiful mess of being human and ready to do the work, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, to come home to themselves.
Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let's cross the bridge together.

Have you ever felt like your Spirit Team was trying to "ping" you in the middle of a busy day? In this episode, Cristina dives deep into the "Language of Heaven." From technology glitches and specific coin findings to musical messages on the long road home, discover how your loved ones, angels, and guides are constantly communicating with you. Cristina also shares a special channeled message about the power of asking for specific signs—even the "Pink Elephant" kind!
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- The Tech Support "Ping": How Cristina’s late grandfather literally froze her phone to deliver a message of love while she was working.
- The Power of the Nudge: Why taking "the long way home" led to a perfectly timed message through Kelly Clarkson’s song, Breakaway.
- Grandpa’s Calling Cards: The difference between "standard" signs (quarters) and milestone signs (the 2001 birth-year penny at a brother's engagement).
- Channeled Wisdom: A direct message from the Angels (received March 18, 2026) about staying open, being patient, and the myth of the "impossible" sign.
- Asking for the "Pink Elephant": Why being specific with your requests—like Cristina’s purple rock from Archangel Metatron—strengthens your intuitive bond.
Key Takeaways & Signs Mentioned:
- Blue Butterflies: Cristina’s signature sign of alignment and confirmation.
- The Purple Rock: A unique gift from Archangel Metatron to encourage staying on the spiritual path.
- Rainbows & Feathers: Using Archangel Raziel’s energy for reassurance during difficult family moments.
- 11:11 & Digital Pings: How repeating numbers act as a "spiritual inventory" check.
"If you feel something is a sign, know that it is a sign. Take a moment, breathe, and ask: 'Who is this from, and what is the message?'"

Hello lovely souls. Welcome back to awakening to your soul self podcast. I'm Cristina, your host, angel messenger, angel Reiki master teacher, and automatic writing guide. In this week's episode, I apologize for the gap between February's podcast and this episode, just got caught up in a lot of things. And if you know me, I have to be kind of in the energy to record a podcast and film social media. So I kind of felt the energy today and I have some great things to bring through today. So let's dive in. What if your spirit team could literally freeze your phone or whisper to you, like take a different route home just to get a message for the day.
Today we're going to explore the universe and how they give us signs and messages through our busy lives. So if you know me, I do tech support for a school district during the day. And on my free time, I do my angel messaging business. And recently I got a sign that really reflected both worlds for me. So the other day I was, took a picture of a piece of technology and I was trying to zoom into the serial number so I could inventory it. And all of a sudden the picture that I was zooming into disappeared. And what appeared next was a picture of my grandfather, my late grandfather who passed away. And I was like, all right, grandpa, I see you. Thank you for the sign. But the thing was, until I acknowledged and said thank you, my phone completely froze. So like I was trying to like swipe to the next picture. I was trying to like get out of it and I really couldn't even try like swiping away. And I was like, okay, grandpa, what's the message that you're trying to bring me? And I heard, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I'm here with you all the time. And once I received that download, I was able to swipe away the picture and go back to my normal tech support self.
I just took a moment. was like, how strange is that? Because it's not a coincidence. It's definitely a sign in a message because you have like thousands of pictures on my phone. And it went to that picture. The picture of my grandfather is like, think the second photo on my phone. I've always heard stories of, you know, loved ones and guides and angels using technology to provide signs, whether it's phone calls, a missed call, and it will come up with their loved one's name, or they try to call back, nothing happens, repeating numbers. And I think sometimes the message when we hit, especially with the technology ones, is that sometimes you just have to take a moment and acknowledge it's not a coincidence. But not only that, but like acknowledge the message moments that they're trying to connect with you.
Basically this episode is going to be all about different signs that I've had throughout the years. And spirit is saying that there are going to be some aha moments for you, whether you've experienced this sign or you were questioning if something was assigned. So I also had another story a couple of years ago. I was driving home from work and I usually, you know, take the quickest route home because I'm tired and I just want to go relax. But I was at a red light and they said, take a right, don't go straight like you always do, take the longer way home. And I was like, do I really want to take the long way home spirit? And that's with my free will, I decided, okay, I'm going listen to the message and I'm going to make the right. And if I didn't make that right and went straight home like I wanted to, I would have not heard the song, it's called break away from Kelly Clarkson. And the lyrics just hit me. I've listened to that song a thousand times. It's one of my favorites. But in that moment in the car, I knew the angels was speaking to me through the lyrics. And I said, thank you angels. Like I really needed to hear that message today. So sometimes you got to listen to those little whispers saying go that way or don't go that way because they're trying to align you with their sign or message that they're trying to bring to you. And then the lyrics were really about, I'm just like spreading your wings and flying. And during that time, I was like really fresh of learning my gifts. And I was like, I want to spread my wings, but I don't. And lo and behold, song was the message that I needed to hear, that I need to spread my wings.
A couple other signs from my grandpa is when he was here on the physical earth, he would collect quarters. He would try to find all the states and all the different, um, years. And after he passed away, I went to go purchase, um, a quarter collection book. And I started that for a while with him. So anytime that we say, you know, grandpa, please give us a sign. We're trying to connect with you. It's always quarters, 99 % of the time. I remember being at work during one of the school vacation weeks, because we worked during those. And I was setting up a new lab. And these tables that we have kind of open up where you can kind of hide the cables and hide the cords. And I swear to you, I was literally looking in that like a good 10, 15 minutes on and off. And lo and behold, I opened it again and a quarter appeared. And I said, well, the quarter was not there. I literally was just in that part of the table. And I took it and I said, thank you, grandpa, for the sign. My mom has gotten quarters. My brother.
Tying this to the next story is that my brother, who was now a wife a couple of years ago, and I was there for the engagement because my brother wanted to photos and videos of her reaction. when we got back to the car. All I heard is look down at his feet. So I looked down because I could feel my grandpa's energy. It wasn't a quarter though. It was a penny. And I said, you know, pick it up. I really feel like it's a sign for grandpa. Keep it separate from like regular coins. Cause I really feel like that's a message saying that he was there during the engagement and he's with you at this moment. Later that night, I hop in the shower and I hear repeatedly, Tell him to go look at the year on the penny. Tell him to look at the year of the penny. And I said, OK. So I got out of the shower, came downstairs, and I quickly called him. And I was like, what's matter? I'm like, hold on. I really got to figure out this message. So I called him and I said, do you still have that penny that grandpa left? He goes, yeah. I'm like, can you go get it? He's like, OK. And I'm like, all right. On the penny, what year is it? And he goes, goes, Cris, it's 2001. And I go, my gosh, it's the year you were born. So I wanted to bring that story to you because not only was it an amazing sign to have coin with this birth year on it, but there are other stories where I've heard this happen to people where. You look at the coin and it's a year of significance for you or for the loved one. And that was a hundred percent validation that he literally was there during the engagement. So I thought that was amazing. He still has this to this day. Other loved ones will have what's called like their, their sign. For my grandpa, it's quarters. for my grandma, it's cardinals. I think, I believe my friend, Alexa, her dad is a dragonfly. My other friend from Australia, I believe her grandmother is a specific bird that's in Australia. So there are kind of like calling card signs where you see them and you just have a knowingness that it's their died or loved one.
So on the 18th of March, I was on my lunch break and I heard from Spirit, we need to do an automatic writing session about signs. are some questions about signs, because when you're in this human society, everything is popped up to coincidence. And I don't believe in coincidences. I think everything's a sign and everything happens for a reason. They want me to bring through this channel message to you in this podcast episode. It's going to do it on Instagram, but I find that sometimes these longer messages don't have as much power on Instagram or Facebook. So here we go. Signs are a beautiful way for us to connect with you. You might not notice all the signs, but know that the signs, sorry, know that we are sending you signs all the time, from repeating numbers to animal signs, the signs specifically you asked for. They are waiting for you to notice them. If you feel something as a sign, know that it is a sign. when you receive the sign, take a moment and ask, who is it from and what is the message with the sign? Sometimes it's from someone you haven't thought about in a while. Sometimes it's from God. Sometimes it's from the archangels, a guide or a loved one. There are generic signs that people have come up with to recognize, but it's the specific signs that you ask for are the best. because it's you asking for help from us. You might be asking, can a sign be too specific? The answer is no. It might take a little bit for us to align the sign in your path at the exact moment, but it happens when you least expect it. As long as you stay open, you might be saying, what if I asked for a pink elephant? Trust me, I've done that. There is no such thing. Well, if you go in with that perspective, you will miss the sign. Nowadays, there are so many ways to get signs to you, from conversations, clothing, actual signs, arts, technology, social media. You could see someone's shirt with pink elephant or on your phone on social media. There isn't a sign we can't send your way. You need to stay open and be patient to receive the sign. Signs come in all shapes, forms, and sizes. Take a moment today. Take a deep breath and ask for a sign today. It can be a simple sign or a specific sign. Sometimes we will have you think of a specific sign that we've already lined up. Once you receive that sign, give thanks and ask for the message that goes with the sign and who it's from. We are always with you sending you love signs and positive loving messages.
That was a beautiful message from the angels and they're a hundred percent correct. I I've heard of people asking for the most specific things and it happens. Well, I actually asked for the pink elephant when I first started. So I really wanted to really find out if all the stories that I've been hearing are true of you. That's something so specific if they can do it. And I asked for a pink elephant. like, I know that. pink elephant doesn't exist. God, how are you going to give me a pink elephant as a sign? And I think it was like a day or two passed. But I still was like, I'm going to stay open. I'm just going to wait for the sign. And because I work in a school district, there was a girl who had a pink elephant on her shirt. And I said, my gosh, God, thank you so much for that sign. Bye. 100 % believe you now and all the signs you send. Sometimes it can be through social media. I've had moments where I've asked my grandma, grandma, if you're with me in this situation or I need some guidance, please send me a card. And in the colder months, I'm not like outside as often. I don't go looking for cardinals. And I was swiping through Facebook and a car came up and I said, this feels like a sign. And I said, grandma, thank you so much for the sign. now I know that everything's going to be okay with this situation. And I showed my mom, said, mom, she gave me the sign. Everything's going to be okay. And you might be saying like, Yeah, but if you like cardinals on social media, it's an algorithm. It's just going to give you cardinals. True. But when I landed on that cardinal, I had a knowingness. It was from her. You just feel it in your energy. You feel it in your gut. You're like, that's the sign. And that's the same for a lot of the generic signs. People cough it up to coincidences or it's like, it's just like an algorithm thing. You will feel it. when you know it's a sign for you. And asking for who the sign is from is really powerful as well. And what's the message? Sometimes it's just a sign because you ask for the sign, then everything's going to be okay. Or you're a little hello from, you know, your loved ones, but take a moment or two and get into oneness and say, okay, who is this from? And give it a minute. And then what is the message? And if you don't have a moment to ask that, take the sign, if it's physical, if not, no worries, keep that in your mind. And then at night when you're by yourself and you have a moment, ask again, ask, who is this from? What is the message?
So a couple other stories that I want to bring through, and these are on my Instagram, except the penny one, is... When you ask for a sign, it's okay to just say, give me a sign, because I've done that before. Something could be something specific. This one day I was, we just put like grass seed out and I needed to water it. And I was just like, God, universe source angels. I'm just looking for a sign. I don't know what kind of sign. just please give me a sign that I'm on the right path, that I just, I really do have these gifts, because it was kind of earlier in my spiritual journey. And it was watering and it was like, what is that? And it was just a beautiful purple rock. You should have brought it in with me. but I'll link that post in the show notes. It was this beautiful purple rocket. I've never seen anything like it. And if you know, Archangel of Metatron, it's a beautiful violet purple. color that's associated with him. And I, when I picked up this rock, I just asked, who is this from? And right away I heard Archangel Metatron, who I've never really heard from before then. And I could just feel that the rock just... had this beautiful energy about it, but I just held it. And I just said, what is this sign? What does this sign mean? What is the message? And he basically said, don't give up. You do have these gifts. You are on the right path. The exact message is in the Instagram, but he's wanting me to pass along that message for all of you as well as don't give up. Believe in yourself. Believe in the messages and the signs that they're giving you.
My next story is also on Instagram. My mom was going to go in for elbow surgery and I asked the angels, said, angels, you know, you know, she's going to be okay for the surgery. just, I just need some extra reinsurance. And I turned around so like finished getting ready for the day and there was a rainbow on my door. And I was like, well, you know, cause like you can get like rainbows from like listening certain things. And I was like, what is it glistening off of? And like looked in my window in the corner of my bedroom. Cause I figured it might be like reflecting from there and I couldn't find it. And all I heard is just take the message as it is, take the sign. Can I say, okay, this is validation. She's going to be okay. And then I went to go brush my teeth and it came back and the rainbow was already gone. And I was like, all right, beautiful sign. And I felt it was Archangel Raziel. I always try to ask and you should too, who is it from? Sometimes just that's how you learn your angels, who's on your spirit team. And you can kind of start to learn the energy of what they're feeling.
Another one is, I was walking out to my car and I found this beautiful gray feather. And I was like, I wonder what feather this is from? Like, I don't remember seeing any birds with gray feathers around, you know, my yard and things. And I just heard, it's a sign. It's a message for you. And the message is on Instagram, go feel free to go take a look at that. I was working on... a course for you all, which years later, I still haven't finished. waiting for the right energy, the right time. And all I heard was, look at the clock. And no joke, the clock was 11 11. That's an angel number. it's a repeating number. And I said, my gosh, thank you guys for the sign. It means I'm, you know, what I'm channeling in this course is right, it's gonna come up and it's gonna be fruition. And then the last sign that I want to talk about today is, um, I honestly don't know how I found this and you can check on my Instagram. It's a small, small, small, small paper heart. It's a heart. I mean, it's a paper shaped like a heart. Super tiny. It's like this, this tiny. And I'm surprised I was able to find it because the carpet on the stairs and part of the second floor is gray and whites. And I just looked at it I was like, my gosh, that's a sign. And it happened to be because I was recording another podcast episode a couple of years ago with this woman, Ashley, who was telling me her angel signs and how she receives heart-shaped things as her signs. And I was like, my gosh, that's so cool. Like, I want a sign like that. And then I eventually got it. And I said, think I texted her or I DM'd her and I was like, my gosh, this sign is for you, but it's also for me because I've never had a heart-shaped sign before. But it was also to reach out to her, check in how she was doing, how her book was going. And that's also a sign. That's what they're saying is that if you think of somebody that you like haven't talked to in a while or just you get that nudge that you need to call that person, do it because there's a sign or there's a message there that you need to communicate with them.
You know, heaven, the other side is always with you, your guides, loved ones, God, universe source, they're always with you. They're always sending you love, signs, positive messages. You just have to be patient and be open to receive them. Every night before I go to bed, I say, God, universe source, angels, God, and loved ones, thank you for all the messages that you've been sending me today. Even the ones that I missed. And I say that because sometimes, at least for me, when I'm working in my tech support day job, it's almost like I'm turned off spiritually because I am so technical and I'm so focused that I know they have been sending me signs throughout the day. I'm just, it's almost like that side of the brain has turned off because I'm so doing technical troubleshooting and things. But only that, life can get really busy and you just don't notice them, even if they're like right in front of your face. I've asked for signs. I'm like, can you design like 10 more times to validate? And that's okay. They understand that we live in a human world and we need sometimes the extra validation, the extra love. Everything happens for a reason we don't always know the reason why. But we're always on our path and our path has detours and bumps and ups and downs. And I understand that life is hard here on earth. They're always with you. I've even asked my grandpa. I'm like. If I want you to be with me, I don't want to take you away from like my grandma, for example. And he said, no, it doesn't happen. Heaven, the other side, it's totally different than what we think it is. It's a beautiful, beautiful space. There's no time. We can be in multiple places at once. So don't feel like you're taking me away from anybody because you're not. And I just think that's beautiful. I think we all need to understand that concept, even though it's a hard concept to understand. But we are all spiritual beings in human bodies. We are all connected to God universe source. We're all extensions of them. That's why the oneness meditation is so important. It really grounds us and reconnects us, raises our vibration. It is just... Everybody can do this. Everybody can connect. A lot of universe source their angels, guys, and loved ones. I think sometimes we believe that what somebody can do is only meant for them, but then life would be boring. We all have special gifts. They all matter. And all the signs matter, all the messages, they matter. So with that being said, I'm gonna close out today's episode, but I wanna do a 30 day challenge with you all. I'm starting today when this podcast launches. It's going to come out. You just check the calendar. Monday, March 30th. And we're to do this for 30 days. I want you to ask for a sign, specific or not. Tag me in it at Cristina Angel Messenger. And let me know, take a picture of the sign. And if you have a moment. That's who it's from and what the message is. I'm going to be participating on this journey with you. I haven't really done a sign challenge with my angels in a while. And I think we'll speak of fun. Like it doesn't have to be so serious life. Let's have fun with it. Ask for specific signs if you want. Ask for silly ones. Um, one of my first signs that I ever asked for was a blue butterfly. Because A, I've never seen one. B, blue is my favorite color. You can see there's just something magical about butterflies. So I asked, and I think I saw it on. On a website or something, I just said thank you. Thank you for the sign. I also remember a few years ago when I was working in another school district. I literally parked in this car. every day or I would pass the car every day. And I never noticed that in the back of a car where her hitch was, was a blue butterfly. And on the day that I was really feeling down, I'm just unsure of myself. And if I was on the right path and I just asked, can you please give me the blue butterfly? And I wasn't seeing it Instagram, Facebook. I was like, okay, maybe you're not on the right path anymore. Like maybe something has happened. And no joke, got out of my car, was walking towards the front door and I heard, look to your right. And I said, my gosh, I don't know how many times I parked next to this car, but there's my blue butterfly. And they just felt that I knowing this, that that was the sign that I was on the right path. That I do have these gifts and I'm here to help you understand your intuition, help you understand the signs and the messages that your guys and loved ones are trying to bring you. We have a couple of different services, angel readings, which I ask your angels, guides, and loved ones, what messages you have for them. We have Angel Reiki services where I cleanse and rejuvenate your energy using the angelic energy as well as bringing through messages. If automatic writing sessions, mini and deep dive. So for the mini, if you have one question or just looking for, you know, like a couple of sentences of message that your angels are trying to bring through deep dive, I think this is up to three questions. And I just channel what they need to bring through you. So if you're ready to hear from your team, understand that you too have these gifts. You just want to communicate with your angels, learn how to communicate. Go to my website at CristinaAngelMessenger.com. It's Cristina with no H. And to end this episode, for real this time, I want you to take a deep breath. and ask for your sign today. And when you get your sign, remember, say thank you, ask who it's from and what the message is. Have a blessed day, lovely souls.
