If you've had trouble finding a lost item, it could be that it doesn't want to be found. Perhaps it could have a spiritual attachment to someone else. If you've noticed that you've been having problems locating certain items, they may be trying to tell you something. This could be:

It's time to let go of that object

Sometimes, we hold onto things too tightly. We cling to possessions that aren't meant to stay with us forever, and we need to let go of these items. They could be blocking our spiritual growth, and we don't even realize it because we're too infatuated with the thing.

For example, if you're a smoker and notice you misplace a lighter repeatedly, the universe could tell you that the item shouldn't be found. It could also suggest that you should focus on improving your physical health rather than smoking.

Smoking and other harmful habits can damage your spiritual growth, so take the sign that you can't find that item as divine intervention. Instead, accept that a higher power has stepped in to help you move away from that habit for the better and vibrate higher.

Item is attached to another individual

Another reason you should let go of that item you've misplaced is that it may be spiritually attached to someone else. Again, this suggests the item should be released and out of your possession to protect your soul.

Sometimes spiritual people bind to objects to control the person using them, like a spell. Some may call this a form of witchcraft, which has a spectrum of good and bad, depending on the person's intention of casting the spell. So, if you feel that a particular item, like a gift, has been affecting your spiritual health, maybe losing that gift works out in your spiritual favor.

Protect your energy

Once you've acknowledged that an item is spiritually connected to someone else, now is the best time to focus on protecting your energy. You may have opened your spirit to different powers when you accepted that item from someone. And as the item has entered your home, you may feel like you need to protect yourself and your other belongings from any spiritual attacks.

So how can you protect your energy? And what would you do if you found this item after it disappeared? You should keep the item away from your home until you're ready to release it. You could give it back to the sender if it were a gift. Or if it was a purchase, you can choose to return it or get rid of it.

Additionally, there are a few ways we wanted to touch on to help you protect your energy:

• Set and maintain boundaries around your space and within your emotional and spiritual state
• Give yourself time to recharge your energy
• Speak with your angel guides about intuitive thoughts
• Speak to your inner voice with a clear mind
• Familiarize yourself with energy protection methods
• Use protective salts and crystals

Focus on something else

If you're feeling overwhelmed by letting go of that item, especially if you know you shouldn't have it but enjoy using it, try focusing on something else.

For example, if you were gifted a new pair of heels, they may be difficult to walk in and hurt you each time you try. Although you love them, you managed to lose them. So now is the best time to focus on something else and see the loss as a positive.

You don't have to worry about your feet hurting and realize the shoes weren't the perfect match for you. Instead, you can look at other things that allow you to shift your focus more on the internal.

Use this loss to be thankful for all you can learn about your inner body when you connect with your subconscious mind and not on outer appearances.
