Calling All Angels

Have you ever felt that you wanted to be “in touch” with your personal guardian angels and
guides?

Coming from a fundamentalist religious background I always did believe in angels
however did not think that they were still in communication with humankind. From what
was taught via the Bible they had been interacting with humans in the past but not so
today.

Upon reading Angel Medicine and Goddesses and Angels by Doreen Virtue, PH.D. and
talking to many people of esoteric backgrounds , I began to realize that we can make that
connection. I heard other people speak of working with “their” angels and guides and
wanted that for myself.

So you ask “How can I contact my angels?”. A simple but effective method is using
meditation. It only takes 5 minutes usually because they are ready and waiting and want
to be in contact with you as much as you do with them! Quiet your mind and use whatever
tools you have (music, chanting or nothing etc. ) and breathe slowly and deeply to get
yourself to the point where your mind is quiet and you are relaxed. Intent is the most
important facet of this. There are no limits and you can do anything you direct your
attention to. Then just ask in your mind for your angel(s) to give you their name. Trust
what you get.

You may get an everyday name, a name you may not recognize or the name of an
archangel. I have the privilege and honor to work with many angels. As time goes by you
may have more reveal themselves to you as you need them.
You can also call upon any of the archangels or ascended masters for help with particular
situations. Research via internet or reading can help you with this. There are lists out
there that indicate these or you can just ask your angel directly if you feel you need
something or someone else. My feeling is that your angels know what you need and you
need only ask and the answer will come. Sometimes you don’t have to ask!

My first contact came during a past life regression. At this point on my path I did know that
I had guides and angels however, I did not trust myself enough or know enough to ask for
their names. I did hear their voices in my mind or see their direction (sometimes not
realizing that whatever happened had been brought about by their intervention) and just
did not realize that it was a divine connection.
( I can be a little slow) Ha!
The first angel to make himself known to me was Gabriel and since then several more
have come to work with me. I also have Reiki guides who help me when I do my healing
work. Animal spirit guides have also made themselves known to me in different ways and
are always by my side in the spirit realm.

I did this little meditation with my grandchildren the other day and they were so amazed
that it worked! They were thrilled and excited to know “their” angels and are having a
great deal of fun learning how to work with them. Of course, children are much closer
and more open. So, take note of Jesus’ words to “be as a child” and open yourself with
childlike trust and faith and your angels will become a recognizable part of your life.

I also use Angel cards developed by Doreen Virtue and a lot of people love working with
them. They are simple and give us a direction or inspiration to work with daily.

If you trust yourself the name will come. If the meditation does not work for you perhaps it
will come in a dream or you will see a name that attracts you for some reason. Be open
and it will happen for you.
