"From the moment your beautiful soul entered this physical reality, we have been by your side. Some of us have been with you for several life times over and others have chosen to assist you in certain tasks or challenges that you seek to overcome in this lifetime. More will keep on joining you throughout your life to heal you, to aid you and guide you towards the answers to your prayers.” (Varthiel - my Guardian Angel)

Everyone has angels and guardian angels surrounding them, many of you don’t even know this. They are here to help you on your spiritual journey of self discovery.

Think of them as your own personal support group that never judges or disapproves; the '1800 Divine Help' number that is never busy and never puts you on hold. ‘Ask and you shall receive!’ The possibilities are endless. The only thing that you have to do is open your heart to listen, follow the signs and recognize the synchronicities.

When we enter this physical dimension we tend to forget about the tasks that we had set up for ourselves. We are distracted by ego-minded sensations, feelings and impulses that do not reflect our true being (Higher Self). That is why the angels are here to guide us and to nudge us into the right direction. 

There are many different ways you can perceive your angels.

When you see colored sparkles, golden light/light beings you can rest assured that those are your angels. Most people can see them more detailed with they eyes closed however, as the typical renaissance angel or even angel statues. Angels will always connect with you in ways that you can understand and relate to.

What are Angels exactly?

They are an extension, a facet of God/the Universe/the ALL if you will. They are one with God just as we are.  At the beginning of all beginnings we were all the same, we were created equally and came from the same source. Some of us decided to incarnate into the physical plane to experience ourselves as God made manifest. Others however decided to stay on the higher planes to act as our guides and assistants on that journey; they are the Angels. They have never had a physical incarnation and they are infinite in number, just as the universe is infinite.

Their Characteristics:

  • everyone has 2 Guardian Angel, many have more
  • some Angels have genders, some are androgynous
  • most choose to look like their depiction in Renaissance paintings (they do not need wings to fly or clothing because they do not have bodies)
  • some are small as little cherubs and others are very tall
  • they sparkle, white bright lights, sometimes multi - colored
  • white mist/flashing or blinking light indicates an angel energy is present

How do the angels communicate with us?

There are many different ways that the Angels or your Spirit Guides will try to communicate with you. Every person is different and receives psychic information differently. The Angels also want you to know that they would never scare you. They will only give you what you can handle. 

There are 4 major channels of communication that the angels will use.

Clairvoyance

"clear seeing"
  • mental images/movies
  • seeing spirits/orbs/light anomalies

Claircognizance

 "clear knowing"
  • repetitive thoughts/ideas
  • 'out of the blue' knowings, insights

Clairaudience

'clear hearing"
  • voice inside your mind 
  • voice outside of yourself
  • messages from songs, conversations etc.

Clairsentience

"clear feeling"
  • reoccurring emotional/physical feelings
  • sensing bad or good vibes about people, places
  • clairsentient people are usually always empaths

What can I do to connect with my Angels?

  • Meditation
Through quieting the mind you will be able to hear, feel, see or sense your guides and angel more easily. Meditation is not only a great way to connect and communicate with them but also to find out more about yourself which will ultimately assist you in growing spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even physically. By going deep within you may uncover imbalances that need healing, old thought patterns that need releasing or you may simply enjoy a prolonged state of peace that helps rejuvenate your being. Make this a regular thing and your intuition will increase tremendously. To learn more about meditation click here. 
  • Daydream
Allow yourself to dream and fantasize. Connect with that child-like wonder that you once possessed but have pushed aside in order to function in a world that teaches you only one reality. What do you desire? Create your dream, play it out in you mind. When you are in this state of 'openess' or receptiveness it is easier for your angels, God or your guides to 'speak' to you (literally or in pictures, feelings, ideas). Follow the ones that make you feel happy, that inspire you and drive you with a sense of passion - those are true divine guidance. Follow your heart, it will never lie to you!
  • Dreams
You can also ask your angels to visit you in your dreams to assist you in healing a certain aspect, provide guidance or give you an answer to a question.

Say this aloud or in your mind before you go to sleep: 

'I ask my Angels to be with me in my dreams to help me understand why (.......)/ to give me an answer to this questions (.......) and help me remember every detail of the dream when I wake up.'

Keep a dream journal next to your bed to record everything that you saw, felt, heard or even smelled! A lot of times you will wake up in the middle of the night after a vision or important message that has been sent to you in your dreams. The Angels usually do that so that you will be able to remember the dream before you start dreaming other things.
Try out a handheld recorder, I find it more useful than a journal.
  • Prayer/ Intention
Prayer is a from of focused intention; intention is very important when connecting with your angels or anyone in spirit. The more focused your intention, the more focused the response will be. That doesn't mean however that you need to overthink or embellish your intention with too many details - keep it simple.
When you open your heart to receive help from your angels you open the door to endless possibilities and solutions to enter. All you have to do is listen to the answer. Be quiet and listen to the still voice within and you will receive your answer, or watch out for symbols and synchronicities, cloud formations, conversations, butterflies or anything else that holds a message just for you. You will know!
Unanswered prayers:

No prayer ever goes unanswered! The only reason why some requests seem to have been ‘denied’ or ‘delayed’ is usually because we have a tendency to jumble our words with half truths or even lies. If that has happened God/the universe first has to show you the true nature of what you are asking for. Let's say you are really wanting that new shiny car, yet deep inside you think you do not really deserve it. So the universe has to first teach you that you are worthy before you will attract that new car.

"As you know already every thought/prayer vibrates at a certain frequency. Know that there is a perfect answer out there in the universe that matches the frequency of your request. This usually happens instantly, however many people ‘pollute’ their initial prayer/question with thoughts of unworthiness of the answer, being afraid of the truth, doubt etc. So essentially they are changing the initial frequency to a lower one which now makes it harder for your answer to come through because it does not match your requests frequency anymore. Remember like attracts like in the universe!"

Other Guides and Divine Helpers

Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides are exactly that; guides in spirit. They are Spirits of a higher consciousness that have had physical incarnations on our plane and have chosen to assist us in our lives. Some of them we knew in a past life. Some are with you from birth and will stay with you until you make the transition, others will come and go during different stages or phases in your life.

If you want to know more about your own Spirit Guides sign up for one of my Spirit Guide classes or for a reading. Send me an email for more info.

Ascended Masters

Ascended Masters were human beings like you and me and have had many physical incarnations. They have reached enlightenment and have chosen to assist in raising the frequencies & vibrations on earth. They work on a more global or universal level, but are always there and happy to assist should you call on one of them. Some Ascended Masters include: Mother Mary, Jesus, Buddha, St. Germain, Pythagoras, Serapis Bey, El Morya etc.

Loved Ones

Loved ones or other spirits can also act as guides for us, however not every spirit is equipped or up for the job!  Spirits do not automatically get enlightened when they cross over, so only spirits that have had enough experience and are of love and light are chosen to be part of your 'divine team'.

Animal Messengers

There are many Angels that 'reside' in nature and the more connected you are with the great mother the more you will notice and receive messages from animals that cross your path. Each of them can impart a lesson for you. The Native Americans call them animal totems and believe that each person comes into this live with 9 power totems that represent the abilities/skills that they bring into this life.

If you would like to know more about this topic, I can greatly recommend the book by Ted Andrews, Animal Speak.
