Angels: Divine Companions
06/10/22 23:46
Even when we feel as though we are completely alone, there are divine companions who are always with us. Before our incarnation they chose to accompany us through our lifetime, from the moment of our first breath, until our last. Spirit guides are highly evolved beings. Having completed the cycle of birth and death in the physical plane, they now serve as teachers and guides to further elevate our vibrations. They are as “real” as we are, they are vibrating at another level and reside within another plane of existence.
They work to guide us by working through our dreams and intuition. That quiet voice we hear is often the voice of our teachers and guides. They may also make themselves known to us through signs and symbols. For me, when I am at a crossroads in my life or journeying through a personal or emotional challenge, I find feathers everywhere. I see hummingbirds, butterflies, and woodpeckers. I also see feather tattoos, hawks, and hear certain songs. It is a reminder for me to be still and listen to the guidance of my own personal guides. The feathers are representative of the energy of my guides, one being a powerful Shaman, one is a Humpback whale, one is Hildegard, and the others are from the angelic and etheric realms.
Some individuals have one guide and others have multitudes, much of this depends on the path and purpose of our life. For instance, a teacher/professor may have several guides, one to guide them through the academic nature of their profession and others to assist them with the great emotional requirements of performing such an important task. Much of who our guides are is indicative of our own personal journey through our lives.
Spirit guides are sometimes a loved one who has passed away. Although our loved ones stay with us in spirit and we may contact them, they don't usually serve the same role as a “spirit guide”. Some individuals have archangels and angels as spirit guides who are always with them. Yet, the presence of angels does not always mean they are our spirit guides. Angels may be called in times of distress to assist us for a short time. If we have an archangel or angel as a guide, chances are our mission in life is a complex one. Through my experience with being a psychic reader and spiritual teacher, I found that individuals with a challenging life path often have angels as spirit guides.
Our guardian spirit guide is always with us, whether we acknowledge their presence or not. We cannot call them to us or send them away, they are part of us and our journey. However, we may choose to gain the knowledge of who they are and what their role in our life is. We have many types of guides. Some come for a task, a season, or attached to the nurturing of a specific relationship. These guides appear at our call, and be released when their task is accomplished.
The possibility is always there to interact with our spirit guides in a more proactive way. If we want to know who our guides are, just ask. Get in a quiet and meditative space and ask that they reveal themselves to us. Do not get discouraged if it takes a few tries. Beings from the spiritual realm often communicate through signs and symbols. Once we ask, we should trust our own wisdom. Pay attention to the pictures that appear in our mind. If we see a man in a suit, stay with that, it could be he is a philosopher or scientist. We may see a Native American, a Buddhist monk or see nothing at all. Keep the mind and intuition open. Pay attention to things that keep coming up after we ask that they reveal who they are. If we are having a challenge discovering who they are we can also contact a professional psychic/intuitive to assist us in gaining the initial connection.
Working with our spirit guides is an incredible tool for our own personal and spiritual growth. Unlike beings who are in the physical, their wisdom and advice is not influenced by the “world” and an ego. They dwell in a higher vibrational plane and the mundane particulars of our situation are not relevant. For example, if we seek guidance from our spirit guide regarding a relationship, they will lead us to focus on what we are learning, what we need to learn, what we are teaching our partner, and what is the true meaning of our relationship. The fact that they leave the toilet seat up or are terrible at budgeting the household finances will be irrelevant. The information that we will be provided with will be actions that WE take to gain more understanding. We may also ask our spirit guides to assist us in physical healing. Before we go to sleep, ask that as we are sleeping, we receive healing.
I experienced this in healing an abscess. A healing guide directed me in a half-sleep state to drain it and in the morning the access was well on its way to being healed, and I didn't experience the pain. A true blessing.
We are never alone. Never. Take faith in knowing and understanding that there is so much magic and mystery in this life. Just for a moment let the “world” disappear. Raise our vibration and allow the beautiful gifts of spirit wash over us. Life is so much more than what we see. Open our spiritual eyes and hearts and we will discover a world of wisdom, beauty and peace that we never knew existed. Of course, we can always choose to not believe. It is always our choice, our will. Yet, why not? Why not step into another level of existence? Why not believe in magic? We do not have to announce it to the office, yet we can embrace the wonders of spirit in our own heart. It will envelope us in illuminating love and understanding, and mysteriously transform us into a more connected and loving being.
Angels: Connect With the Angel Guides

Angels are truly universal. The Pew Foundation reported that 72% of Americans believe in angels. This is a much higher percentage than those who believe in any world religion, because angels are fundamental to most of the world’s major religions. We find them in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Mormonism and many other spiritual traditions.
St. Augustine, an authority on Angels, said, “Make friends with angels.” He recommended that we make personal relationships with angels and that we let our relationships with them deepen, much as we would with any important, intimate relationship.
Asking an angel for help is one of our most powerful spiritual practices. We ask the angels for immediate help at any time and in any place. Here are some techniques that will help us:
1) Ask for help – Angels offer us help 24/7. The more receptive we are, the more help they give us. If we diminish our receptivity we limit the angels ability to help us. Creating our own invocations, or prayers, we specifically call for the help we need. Realize that when we call upon an angel, what really happens is that we open ourself, we become receptive to their assistance.
When asking for help, it’s important to realize ourselves as fully worthy of angelic assistance. Angels work with everyone regardless of personal histories and beliefs. Angels are infinite and omnipresent, our request does not diminish them in any way, nor does it affect their ability to help the rest of us at the same time. They exist beyond our experience of time and space and respond to everyone with complete unconditional love.
2) Connect with our inner divine child as we call upon the angels and ask for their help. Our inner divine child is whole, innocent and true and recognizes angels as trustworthy gifts of the Creator. This will help create openness, receptivity, excitement, eagerness and wonder as we prepare to receive the gifts our angels have prepared for us.
3) Hand everything over to the angels when we ask for their help: every issue, problem, worry and fear as well as every good intention and positive outcome we imagine as the result of our request. Release all expectations of how our request will be answered.
4) Express Appreciation and Gratitude. Find and express genuine appreciation and gratitude for things exactly as they are. If we are struggling with this, ask the angels to help us find the love that is present in whatever difficulty we face. Have patience with this and let go of any expectation of how this love may be revealed to us.
5) Know that it is done. Every request is answered and help is always given. If we fear that our request will not be answered, then also ask for help in understanding. Ask for help in believing. Trust that we will see the love in every answered prayer. Known completely and loved unconditionally by the angels, nothing that will serve us is ever withheld.
6) Act quickly on the guidance we receive. Accept the opportunity and act upon it immediately. Angelic help is infinite and unlimited, we will not use it up or run out of it. We cannot ask for “too much” and the angels are joyously happy to give to us without limit. The faster we act, the faster we receive more assistance!
7) Celebrate ourselves exactly as we are in this moment. Leave critical judgments or negative feelings about ourselves, our life, or others in the hands of the angels for healing. Even if it is just for a few moments, let go of everything that is not of love for ourself and everything around us. In this moment of surrender much more will be done for us by the angels than we accomplish on our own. Thank ourselves and the angels for deepening the relationship between us.
Hopefully this article gave us some helpful steps to connect more deeply with our Angels for help and assistance. Remember, Angels will be at our side with every step we take today. Angels are always with us and are eager to help.
