Our angels communicate with us in so many ways!

Have you ever seen a glint of light in the corner of your eye? Felt a sudden sense of love and peace during a moment of sadness? Found a feather in an unlikely location?  Felt an overwhelming sense of love when you least expected it (but neede it most?)

Our angels reach out to us in many different ways. Their purpose is to guide us through life by offering their love, guidance and comfort when we need it most.

It’s when we’re living through our most difficult moments that the angels draw ever closer to us to surround us with their divine presence, gently and lovingly diffusing the fear and negativity around us.

Because we’re so overwhelmed with the responsibilities of our physical lives, most people are unaware of the messages of the angels.

Take a quiet moment each day to ask your angels to communicate with you in some way. You’ll be surprised at the response you’ll get. They’re listening to you and are eager to respond to your request.

Pennies and feathers seem to be a favorite of the angels. They love to leave little items around for us to find. It’s their way of saying “we’re here for you.”

You may feel a light touch on your cheek, or hear the rustle of feathers, or perhaps feel a slight breeze out of nowhere.  Most people see a light out of the corner of their eye.

It’s important to remember that our angels can’t help us unless we specifically ask for their assistance. Ask your angels for help in every area of your life and they’ll respond before you’re finished asking!

Your angels are just as excited to communicate with you as you are with them, and there’s a very simple technique that you can use to communicate.

Automatic writing has been around for centuries. People have used it to speak with their guides, angels and loved ones in spirit.

It doesn’t require you to do anything unusual. Simply sitting in a comfortable position with a pen and paper is all you need. If you’re like me and want to bring through messages quicker, you can use a computer keyboard.

Now, there are two types of writing when communicating with your angels. There is “automatic writing” and “automatic dictation”.

When you’re automatic writing, you’re not aware of what’s being written. You feel a sort of floating sensation, as thought you’re floating above your keyboard.

With automatic dictation, you’re fully aware of every word you’re writing and the information comes to you either in your mind’s eye (clairvoyance), by hearing it (clairaudience) or by knowing it (claircognizance).

The whole process of automatic writing is really very simple….don’t complicate it by allowing your mind to analyze whether or not it’s you or your angels.

Most people think the process is going to be hard and that they’re not “qualified” to communicate with their angels in this way. Humbug!

I assure you, you’re very qualified to communicate with your angels!

Before you begin, it’s a great idea to have a journal that you can keep solely for your communications with your angels. As your conversations with them progress, you’ll be able to refer back to your increasing progress and read all the messages you received.

You don’t need to make this a ritual with candles, incense or other types of paraphernalia. You can certainly use them if you like, but they’re not required. All you need is your willingness to let your angels “in” no matter where you are.

Here we go:

Find a comfy spot to sit and relax. It can be on the floor or in your favorite chair, or sitting up in bed.

Take several deep refreshing breaths and allow your body to relax.

Say a short prayer to elevate your energy and call in your angels such as:

“Dear God:

Please help me to hear your messages clearly through your loving angels.
Allow me to be healed in my areas of greatest need and to learn more about your truth, love and joy.”

As you begin, asking a question will help your angels communicate with you. They can’t answer you unless you ask!

“Dear Angels, what would you like to teach me today?”

“Dear Angels, can you please tell me about my strengths?”

Remember to relax and breathe. Open yourself up to your angels‘ energy so you’ll be in an active, receptive place.

Begin writing anything and everything that comes to mind. You may hear a single word or a sentence. You may see an image or picture in your mind. You may get a sense of knowing.

It doesn’t matter how it comes to you, simple write it all down. Don’t allow your mind to start analyzing what’s being written.

Don’t analyze, organize or judge, just write!

Ask your angels their names. You may hear, see or know the answer. Write down the very first thing you get. Ask them whatever question you would like the answer to.

Note:

As you write, are you aware of what’s being written? Do you feel a floating sensation as you write?

You’ll receive your message easily but don’t stop to question it or talk yourself out of an accurate angel communication. Our minds want nothing more than to be in control of every situation, including automatic writing.

Don’t allow doubt to take away from your session. Simply acknowledge any feelings that arise, then push them aside.

When communicating with your angels, you messages will be positive, helpful and loving. Angels give with love and truth. If you receive a message that is not joyful and loving, you may have picked up on an energy that is not angelic. Simply ask your angels to remove that energy and show it to the light, then call in your angels for communication.

What you receive is what the angels want to tell you.

It may be simple or complicated, but trust what is given to you. Automatic writing and automatic dictation are not a science. They’re both simple processes that opens you up to receive communication from your angels.

It’s important not to ask your angels about other people as the angels don’t engage in psychic gossip. You are their primary concern.

Once the messages slow down and you’re not receiving anything more, thank your angels for their time.

Remember to journal your communications and as you progress with your automatic writing, your communication with your angels will strengthen and your messages will become longer and more detailed.

Have fun with your angels!

They respond to our call before we even finish asking. They inspire us when answers seem out of reach, they encourage us when we can’t take the next step and they love us even when we don’t love ourselves.

Most people live their lives totally unaware that they have a wonderful spiritual support system at their disposal at a moment’s notice.

Each person has at least two angels, without exception.

They are by our side from the moment we are born until we go home.

Because we have free will, our angels can’t help us unless we ask for them. We can’t assume that our angels will come to our aid on a moment’s notice without calling for them. If they did, they’d violate our free will.

It’s important to remember to ask your angels for help in every area of your life.

The more you call on your angels, the stronger your connection with them will become. You can ask them to leave signs that they’re around. You’ll find objects such as pennies, feathers or even a flower. Pennies seem to be a big hit with the spiritual world.

If you do find pennies, be sure to take a look at the date, which may be a birthday or anniversary.

You can call as many angels as you’d like to come to you, there is no limit. Simply say “Angels, come to me now” and they’ll be by your side before you finish asking.

Take a quiet moment to yourself, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then call your angels to your side. You may feel a light breeze, hear a rustle of feathers or perhaps feel a light brush on your cheek.

Always remember to ask your angels for help – that’s why they’re there!

It’s vital that we not only grow spiritually but reach out to with those in spirit. My free newsletter will help you open the door to communication.

Look around you and you will see them. Close your eyes and you will feel them. I’m talking about angels. They come in many forms, many colors, and many sizes, including male, female, and animal forms.

They have different roles and serve different purposes. There are healing angels, messenger angels, protective angels, warrior angels, guide angels, teaching angels, and angels that inhabit certain places.

Angels are super compassionate beings that vibrate at a very high frequency, so consequently they are flooded with brilliant light in their natural form. There are hundreds and thousands of them with us. They need human prayers, either spoken out loud or in thought to move them to action.

There is a symbiotic relationship between humans and the angelic beings. They cannot interfere unless they are asked through prayer or meditation. That’s why anyone could be directed in a moment to pray for a total stranger, so that the angels may act even half way across the world.

Angels also can be directed or commanded into action long before an accident or a tragedy has occurred, because you have already called them and released them into action by your words or your thoughts on a continuous basis long before anything has happened.

If you are moved to pray for someone or some place and you don’t know why, just stop and pray. Direct angels to work on the behalf of the person or place that you are praying for.

If you don’t know the cause of your urgency to pray release and call all angels that may be appropriate. Call the healing angels, guide angels, warrior angels and protective angels.

Speak to them directly and tell them that you want them to go immediately to the person or place that you are feeling or seeing at the time. “Angels protect her/him, help her/him right now. Do everything that you need to do to help her/him.”

Or you could say, “I wrap this place in light right now. Warrior angels stand guard right now.” You can be very specific with them, or you can be more vague. But as clearly as you can direct them, it will ensure that the mission will get done very accurately and swiftly.

The very precise angel for the job will be assigned. If you don’t know what to say, just say “Angels I command you to help her/him in every way that is needed right now.”

If there is healing to be done, that job is usually done by two or three angels. It is very rare that only one angel is required on a healing mission.

Each one of us has a guardian angel that is always with us. When we gather in a group of people, thousands of guardian angels gather with us, at least one guardian per person. But there may be two or three assigned to one person at any given time.

When we sing and worship, thousands of angels come to sing and hear the sounds and join in to celebrate. The Angels release a lot of joy and ecstasy in times of celebrations and prayer. One of their natural components is joy. They radiate joy and happiness.

When you direct them, you cannot direct them to manipulate, to hurt anyone, or destroy anything. They work on higher level of love and compassion and they will work with the best intention for everyone. They respect the free will of each person.

For example, you cannot direct them to make someone love you or to be with you. You may pray or meditate that the best solution be done for all that are involved. Then the angels will act in the highest manner for each person.

You may also pray that she/he be helped to see their ignorance of a situation. I’m sure you have had an encounter with an angel or two, maybe you didn’t even know it. But they are here!! So if you feel directed to pray on someone’s behalf, start praying, the Angels will take care of the rest.copyright 2006 Yoga Kat

“What color is an angel?”

I looked up from the book I was reading to see my 7-year-old granddaughter with a large box of crayons spread out on the floor above a coloring book.

“Is it a boy angel or a girl angel?” I asked. “A boy,” she responded. “Then use a light blue crayon,” I concluded and went back to my book.

However, since then I’ve been thinking about how a simple question by a yet unpolluted child can’t always be answered so simply. How many colors do angels have? How many kinds of angels can you name?

My thoughts returned to my own experience. I’d been visited for some time by a unique, specialized angel. “Mark Angeli!” he called himself. Mark seemed to appear in my life as I was facing a problem or needed to move to the next level in my business.

Service businesses like mine, Vibrant Carpet Cleaners, can be one-man shows or can expand by adding more vans and technicians. Every change brings its challenges.

To this day, I don’t know why but whenever I got in a pickle, my angelic messenger would show up and give me timely instruction. Mark always wore a clean sharp blue business suit. If I were coloring him, it would be dark blue.

The kinds of angels that appear in a cloud and speak with a voice of thunder get colored bright white.

Since we rarely see a guardian angel, I guess they shall remain colorless. Think of the things they do for us. Invisible hands extracted a man from a mashed car that rolled off the highway.

Drowning people tell us that someone pulled them from the lake, saw to their comfort and then disappeared. A little girl playing, in the front yard, pedals her tricycle into the driveway and is picked up tricycle and all — out of the path of dad’s backing car. Sometimes a guardian angel will simply whisper in your ear about what you should say or do in difficult or challenging situations.

Then there are angels in disguise and/or are actually human. Their colors are warm because they bring comfort and protect.

Red is reserved for the angels that should be lost and forgotten. These are the Devil’s angels. They promote evil in actions and in word. If “conflict” is their middle name, then destruction is their last name. They inspire men to do evil and find glory in the results.

“And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we become devils, angels to a devil, to be shut out from the presence of our God, and to remain with the father of lies, in misery, like unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents, who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder and all manner of secret works of darkness.” 2 Nephi 9:9

One color we won’t find in any crayon box is action. When an angel shows up some kind of action needs to follow.

An angel told one man to move his trailer in the night. His wife and kids were sleeping in it. He moved it. In the morning, he saw that a huge tree had fallen right on the spot from where the trailer had once been.

An angel saved my own brother. My brother Mikie, used to take naps, while the rest of us played in the park in Ojai, CA, in the back of a Volkswagon station wagon. We always parked in the same spot. Upon responding to a “prompting” mother removed him from the car.

A short time later, we heard a large, crashing sound. When we went to see what caused it, we discovered that our car flattened its entire length to wheel height by an ancient oak tree. Mom moved Mikie to preserve his life. Today he’s a registered nurse. Wouldn’t you guess? he’s an angel of sorts, himself.

“Yea, and I know that good and evil have come before all men; he that knoweth not good from evil is blameless; but he that knoweth good and evil, to him it is given according to his desires, whether he desireth good or evil, life or death, joy or remorse of conscience. Now, seeing that I know these things, why should I desire more than to perform the work to which I have been called?

“Why should I desire that I were an angel that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth? For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true.” Alma 29:5-8

Angels are all around us. The eye of the soul can be open to see spiritual things, as virtues and angels. Our only requirement is to believe and we can see them; they often exist as mortal living breathing people, or as those who have had mortal experience and passed on, or as heavenly beings who have not yet tasted mortality.

There is no requirement to have angelic ministrations. We need not fear them. A chat with an angel is a good thing!

It is wonderfully inspiring to see the angel art of many cultures. In this painting by James Tissot, a magnificent angel guards the worshippers as they pray in a beautiful mosque.

However, despite its loving depiction of Muslims praying in a mosque, this painting would not have been done by a devout Muslim. Islam forbids creating images of humans or of spiritual beings.

Angels are visualized by every people in their own way. In fact, it is sometimes hard to be sure whether the spirits depicted or described are angels or some other kind of benevolent spirits. There is no doubt about this angel, though.

Compare this angel with the lovely Kwanzaa angel I wrote about a few months ago, and you will see the difference. Both are beautiful, but one has more African influence, and the Kwanzaa angel painting is strong, contemporary and original.

How many times, do you suppose, do our guardian angels protect us, and we don’t even notice it?

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.  —George Elliot

As you will see in other articles, angels have been depicted in many different guises over the centuries. Medieval and Renaissance angels were often shown in very expensive, aristocratic clothing worn by the wealthiest people of the artist’s time period and region.

The fabrics were rich and often quite heavy looking. The colors were intense and often quite deep. Often the garments appear to be embroidered with gold and gems. 

In contrast to Bougereau’s delicate angels, often the angels in Medieval and Renaissance art appear to be male and wear solemn, even stern, facial expressions. In the customs of the time, some of them were probably modeled on the children or protogees of the artists’ wealthy patrons. 

Even more startling are depictions of the avenging angels wearing metal armor and brandishing swords. 

And that’s just in Europe! In the future I hope to show examples of angels from other cultures, in beautiful images that may look very unfamiliar to western eyes.

Make friends with the angels,
who though invisible are always with you….

Often invoke them,
constantly praise them,
and make good use of their help and assistance
in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

—Saint Francis de Sales
