Do you believe in angels? I do. I have been privileged to feel their presence and influence all around and have done since I was a child. When I was a very small I saw angels around my bed and I had a strong feeling that they were protecting me as I slept. When I was about eight I saw an angel when I went to church with my school for the Harvest thanksgiving service. I saw a wonderful shaft of light coming down from the high ceiling of the church and a shining angel was part of this heavenly light. No-one else had noticed it. After that I learned to keep quiet about my contact with angels, I realised that others were not open to this sort of experience.

Working with my spirit guide Ortan I have been privileged to connect to all sorts of angels. Together, we have channelled some wonderful meditations and processes for connecting with angels so that it is easy to sense their energy.

I believe the reason that people are so interested in angels and are seeing and communicating with angels now is because more and more people are becoming attuned to a spiritual view. The angels can help us to open our hearts and to expand our capacity for love, this is the most important step you can take on your spiritual path. By turning to your angel for support you can steady yourself, by spending a few moments making that connection you can avoid reacting perhaps in ways you might regret later.

What are angels? Angels are very simple beings, they are very pure and very focussed. Every angel has a particular vibration or task or mission. So, for example, there are angels of healing, their work is to assist those of us who are working in the healing area to do our work. Healing angels are often sensed by spiritual healers as they work, they are often seen as distinct colours and they can guide the hands of a healer as they work. There are angels of courage, of truth, of discernment and lots more.

Everyone has a guardian angel just like the one I saw all those years ago as a child, many of the angel stories are about how these wonderful guardians protect and help those they watch over.. When we teach people to channel we often have at least one person in the group who is channelling an angel, this may be their guardian angel or it may not, but the energy of angels is very distinctive and very different from the energy of guides. Angel energy is very light and sparkling and uplifting.

Angels often do not speak a great deal, they communicate telepathically and through the frequencies of love. They are often described as God’s messengers because they are so pure and unblemished. I remember doing a reading with my guide Ortan for a lady about a couple of years ago now and she was put in touch with an experience she had had in a past life when an angel had come to her as a child. At that time she was very sad and lonely and one evening she looked out of the window into the garden and was astonished to see an angel standing there. The angel smiled and reassured her telepathically that all was well and in that moment of remembrance the blessing of the angel was increased because she both received that reassurance as an innocent child in that past life, and she received that reassurance in this life again as the memory of that past life connection came flooding back to her. It was a lovely experience, as angel experiences always are. It is their joy to help us and to bring us help and comfort.

How do you connect with angels? Become more sensitive, meditate, ask, experience. Angels say that one way they communicate with us is through what we think of as intuition, by making what seemed at the time as a chance decision. For example, when you think of someone and call them. Later you find that this was exactly the right time to call for one reason or another. Angels also communicate with us through dreams at night, bringing ideas to the subconscious mind whilst the conscious mind is unguarded. Another way they communicate is through revelations, such as when you are really working on something and you get stuck, the ego’s control of the mind can be weakened and then you can have a flash,an inspiring experience or idea. But the key thing is that you need to be open and allow such angelic communication. Angels are trying to help you, they want to help your soul move through its growth as efficiently as possible. The easiest way to connect with angels is to meditate regularly and to focus on your spiritual growth especially on working to open your heart and to become loving and open hearted. Some people say that they feel the angels’ encouragement through a sudden sense of well being, of calm, of feeling embraced and frequently they say that they smell their angel – suddenly a wonderful fragrance comes out of nowhere and disappears quickly.

Above all – lighten up, remember angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.
