After a breakup, it’s normal to miss your ex-partner and look for signs they miss you too. But how do you tell the difference between wishful thinking (we’ve all been there) and actual signs from the universe that your ex is coming back? We’ve put together a list of common spiritual signs that your ex is coming back. With the help of dating expert Lisa Shield, we’ve even included tips to help you make the relationship work this time around if you want to get back together.

Your ex keeps coming up in conversation.

  1. If they don’t normally talk about your ex, this may be a sign that they know something you don’t. This could also indicate that the universe is using your friends to try to bring you back together. [3]
    • If these are trusted friends, it may be worth asking them if they have insight into your ex’s feelings. Tell them that you’re hoping to get back together and ask them if your ex is feeling the same way.
    • However, avoid putting your mutual friends in the middle of your relationship. Ask your friend directly if they’re okay talking to you about your ex.

Your special song is playing everywhere.

  1. If your song is playing every time you turn on the radio or enter a coffee shop, the universe may be telling you that your ex misses you and wants to come back into your life. It also may be trying to remind you of all the good times you shared. [4]
    • If you want your ex back, you could use your song as a way back into their life. Take a selfie video of yourself with the song playing in the background.
    • Text them the video with an appropriate message like “Guess the universe wanted me to be thinking of you today” or “Think fast…what pops into your head when you hear this song?”

You still have chemistry.

  1. This chemistry shows your deep bond and indicates that you two may be soulmates or twin flames. Your lasting chemistry can’t just be one-sided, so your ex is likely feeling the same way and trying to come back into your life soon. [8]
    • However, sometimes relationships don’t work despite having a lot of chemistry and love for each other.
    • As dating coach Lisa Shield explains, “If it didn’t work, there were issues and problems in that relationship. Couples get so focused on getting back together…that they don’t know they’re not having a functional relationship.”
    • If you truly want to get back with your ex, Shield advises that you “learn how to interact better, how to listen, how to communicate, [and] how to have boundaries.”

  1. Even if you’ve only known each other for a few months or a year, you feel like you know them as well as your closest friends. This deep soul connection may mean that you two are meant to reconnect and get back together, whether now or later in your lives. [9]
    • Just because you have a soul connection to an ex doesn’t mean you’re compatible or that you were happy together.
    • If you’re ready to move on to a happier and healthier relationship with someone new, that may be something you can manifest.
    • Decide what you want in a healthy relationship: someone who will treat you like an equal, give you space when you need it, will listen to your emotions without judgment, etc. [10]
    • Make a list of what you want in a partner and write it in a manifestation journal .
    • Act like your goal has already been achieved—this will raise your positive energy and make success more likely.
    • This manifestation could bring you a new romantic interest. But if your ex really is your soulmate, this manifestation could bring them back to you!

You feel incomplete.

Download Article
  1. This extremely painful feeling is common after breakups. While it usually fades with time, it’s worth noting that your ex may be your twin flame—meaning that you’re destined to be in each other’s lives and make each other feel whole. [11]
    • After a breakup, you go from spending most of your time with someone to having no contact with them.
    • Fill that space by spending time with friends and family or trying out a new travel spot or hobby. [12]
    • Don’t be too hard on yourself: forgive yourself for your role in the relationship or how down you may be feeling now.
    • Lean on close friends and share with them how you’re feeling.

You can’t get them out of your head.

  1. Distractions don’t help, and everything around you seems to remind you of them. If you can’t stop thinking about your ex, it may be because your ex is thinking about you too and wanting to be together again. [13]
    • Frequently thinking about someone you’ve had a romantic relationship with is normal. But if those thoughts impact your daily life and well-being, it may be time to take steps to get them off your mind.
    • Spend time on self-care , refocus on school or work, or try relaxation techniques .
    • Invest in other relationships with friends and family, as well as in your relationship with yourself!
    • Explore your own interests or take time to volunteer for a cause you care about.

You dream about them.

Download Article
  1. Their spiritual message may have slipped into your subconscious to remind you of them and how much you love them. Or, you may be dreaming of your ex because you miss them. Either way, repeated dreams about your ex most likely show that there are unresolved feelings there. [14]
    • If these dreams are disrupting your sleep and you want to let go of your ex once and for all, try a cord-cutting ritual . [15]
    • Open all windows and doors to let out negativity. Burn sage and spray Florida water throughout the room.
    • Light a black candle and sit comfortably. Focus on the ex you want to release from your life and set an intention for a better romantic future.
    • Bind your feet together with black thread or yarn and say, "This is what blocks me from moving forward on my path."
    • Bind your wrists together and say, "This is what keeps me from receiving all that I have been asking for."
    • Sit and think about the negative experiences you had with your ex, then cut the cords with scissors and say “I release the ties that bind. I claim that which is mine. I move forward in light and freedom. So be it."
    • Spray yourself with more Florida water then burn the thread and bury the ashes away from your home.

You smile without realizing it.

  1. Do you find a random grin spreading across your face during classes, meetings, or while running errands? Your ex may be longing for you and sending you warm, fuzzy feelings of love and adoration.
    • If thoughts of your ex are making you feel positive and happy, it may be time to take steps to get back together.
    • Reach out and initiate a conversation, while respecting their boundaries and feelings.
    • Try something light and non-committal like, “I have an extra ticket to go see a comedy show on Friday. Any chance you’d want to join?” [16]
    • Demonstrate the personal growth you’ve had since your break-up and apologize as needed. [17]
    • This could sound like, “I’m working on being more open and vulnerable with my feelings. I’m sorry for not letting you in during our relationship, and I’m looking forward to sharing more of my emotions with you.”

You have frequent mood swings.

Download Article
  1. These mood shifts may be a sign that your ex is manifesting you. If they are reaching out to you spiritually, your emotions will be tied together. This means that when they’re feeling low, you will too: hence, the mood swings!
    • If your mood swings are affecting your daily well-being, try focusing on your health. Improving your physical and mental health can have a big impact on your mood. [18]
    • Prioritize cooking yourself healthy meals at home and going for a 30-minute walk every day. [19]
    • Get a good night’s sleep every night by putting away your phone at least one hour before bedtime and waking up at the same time every day.

      Tips

      • If you’re concerned these spiritual signs are coincidences or wishful thinking, look for concrete evidence of your ex’s intentions. Have they been reaching out to you a lot? Have they made plans with you (in advance)? Do they ask you about yourself and show an interest in your life? These may be more reliable signs that your ex wants to get back together.
      • If you don’t want your ex to come back, set clear boundaries with them and work on building a healthy relationship with yourself instead.
