Angels are God’s messengers. They are here to teach us that God’s love answers all our prayers and our challenges. The angels are great healers helping us to heal physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. All we need to do is ask them. We have free will, and the angels will not intervene in our lives unless we ask. If we are in a life-threatening position, however, the angels will help immediately without our asking. When we ask the angels for help, all we need to do is give that problem to them and let go. Let go and let God.
I have been working with the Angelic realm for many years connecting with them each day. Every morning I ask the angels to surround me and my loved ones with their White Light. I then ask Archangel Michael to surround me with his Blue Light of Protection. I do this for my animal companions as well as my family, their work places, cars, and homes. If I am sick or a family member or friend is sick, I also ask Archangel Raphael to surround us with his Green Light of Healing. You can also ask the angels to surround you with pink light for protection and compassion. Animals too love the healing energy of the color pink, and you can ask that they be surrounded by pink light from the angels.
Angelic Signs
There are many ways to connect to the angelic realm. One is to listen to your intuition, your gut feeling. Depending on the situation, that is the angels giving you a message. Pay attention and you will know and feel when they are there for you. Another wonderful way of connecting to angels is to watch for signs from them. Feathers, for example, are beautiful signs they may send to us. These feathers may appear in the strangest of places where you would never expect to see them. You may even see pictures of feathers off and on during the day in books, framed, on wallpaper, or in stores. You will know this is a message from the angels and that they are with you. You may also get a message from the angels through another person, and they may also send you messages through angel readings and angel oracle cards.
How to Connect to the Angels
Meditation is a powerful yet peaceful and relaxing time to connect to the angels. Go within, sit and talk to them. Listen to whatever message you receive. It’s okay if you don’t hear anything, but just know that they are with you. You may sense angels around you. You might feel tingling in your arms, a warm hug, a stroke of your hair or simply feel a peaceful calm during a stressful situation. Learn to listen and feel the energy in the moment. In addition, angels will sometimes give you images in your mind, or you may see them in the room.
I see angels and feel their energy all the time. I love channeling their messages. My favorite way of connecting to the angels is to talk with them and write down their message as we communicate. I have a journal filled with messages from the angels. To do this yourself, start by sitting comfortably in a quiet place. Have a journal with you to write the message. Quiet your mind. Relax and take deep breaths, breathing in healing energy and breathing out the toxic energy. Do this until you feel totally relaxed and at peace. Ask the angels, “What is the message you have for me?” Then sit with a quiet mind and listen.
You may see an image or hear a word. Write that in your journal. When starting out you may only hear a few words or nothing at all, but just know that you are communicating with them. It takes practice and time, but soon you will start channeling long messages and images. It is a joy to talk to the angels this way. I love working with them. They are here to guide, heal, help and give us messages from God.
