Talking with Angels

According to recent polls, over 95% of the earth's population believes in angels. Angels have been part of our collective consciousness as long as we have been we, and with good reason. Everyone has guardian angels with them all the time, and everyone, through intention, has access to the entire angelic realm. Angels are multi-dimensional beings, and can be with an unlimited number of people at the same time. When you call on them, rest assured that you are never interrupting them; you are never keeping them from some ''more important'' task; no request or question is too small. It is their greatest pleasure to assist you in manifesting the full expression of your life's purpose, which always includes your experience of life in this time as blissful, abundant, exciting, and filled with radiant health and peace. When we open ourselves to hear our angels' messages, every aspect of our lives becomes more divinely inspired and peaceful.

Talking to your angels is as easy as talking on the telephone, or clicking onto a different channel with a remote control. You simply need to state your intention to be connected with your angels, and there they are! You're dialed into their channel! Need guidance on important life issues? Call your angels. Is a health concern worrying you? Call your angels. Money troubles on your mind? Call your angels. Your angles are eagerly waiting to assist you with your physical body, mind, emotions, relationships, family, career and finances, and any other areas of your life. The only roadblock in receiving assistance from the angels is the Universal Law of Free Will - you must first ask the angels for their help before they can intervene in your life.

For most people, the big question is ''how do I know it's the angels talking and not my own inner voice?'' That question comes from our egos - that part of us that feels special and/or different from others that we meet. Every being in a 3rd dimensional body has an ego-it's just part of the package. It's the ego's job to make us feel separated or not one with the divine. Our higher self, on the other hand, knows and lives only one-ness with the universe and all beings within it. One of our primary goals as spiritual beings is to transcend the ego voice within us, and to recognize that voice for what it is. Ask the angels for help to turn the ego voice volume down and affirm that the ego does not speak your spiritual truth of one-ness and connectedness with all that is.

Angels communicate with us in many different ways. If you want to hear them, remember that angels speak to us in voices that sound very different from our inner ego voice that chatters away inside our heads. If you're still not sure, ask your angels to speak louder, or to speak more clearly, or to use a voice so different that you couldn't possibly make it up. Or, you may receive their messages through a sense other than hearing. We receive messages from the angels and other spiritual realms through four primary ways:
  1.  Feelings (clairsentient): examples are physical feelings, smells, and intuition. The ego trap for clairsentient information is the thought that ''it's just my own feelings; I'm not being given any real guidance.''
  2. Visions (clairvoyance): examples are signs like feathers, names, numbers; energy waves; sparkling lights; apparitions; ''corner-of-the-eye'' people; auras; or seeing with the mind's eye through dreams, seeing angels, or seeing deceased loved ones. The ego trap here is the thought that ''I'm just making this up in my imagination.''
  3. Thoughts (claircognizance): examples are information downloaded from Spirit into your mind-divinely inspired ideas, channeling, or things you ''just know.'' The ego trap with claircognizance is the thought that ''everybody knows this - don't even say it.''
  4. Hearing (clairaudience): examples are things you hear inside your mind's ear-an inner voice different from your ego voice; a ringing sound in one ear (the angels tell us this sound means that information is being ''downloaded'' to you, like the sound your computer makes when you connect to the internet); hearing songs in your head; or hearing disembodied celestial music. Again the ego trap is that ''I'm just making this up-I don't really hear anything.''

Some people receive messages through only one of these methods, and some from all four. If you want, you can develop your abilities to receive messages through all four methods, like exercising specific muscles. Again, you can ask your angels for help.

According to the angels, their messages are partially carried to us on oxygen molecules, so the more we breathe, the more clear their messages to us are. Taking deep breaths of clean, fresh air will help you receive more detailed and clearer information. Call on Archangel Michael to help you release any fears that may be blocking you from receiving and recognizing messages from your angels. Limiting beliefs are the only thing holding us back. Work to release any emotional toxins, practice positive thinking and unconditional love, and, above all, express your gratitude daily.

How do you talk to your angels? By setting your intention and opening your heart. Ask for help, listen to the answer, and act on the information you receive. Allow yourself to experience the blissful peace that is your birthright. Any experience you can think of that brings you to your highest good is yours for the asking. Your angels are ready, willing and able to be of service to you in any need you have-it is their divine wish to restore peace to this planet one person at a time. And they want you to always remember that you are a powerful lightworker, and you are very, very loved.
