The Power of Asking - Ask for Help

Angels, and this includes our own and others' guardian angels, can do nothing unless we ask. If you need help, just ask! Invite and welcome your angel into your life to work with you.

This simple step will create great value in your life. Don't worry about asking for too much. There is no sense of linear time in the spiritual realm.

After asking your angel for assistance, watch for repetition of words you either see, hear or think. Take notice of patterns like repeatedly hearing a song, seeing a bumper sticker or having a friend unknowingly repeat the very same message your angel is giving you.

Have you ever been driving somewhere, had a thought that you didn't want to be late, and all of a sudden had an urge to make a turn you didn't plan on. Then later you found out there was a bad traffic jam that you avoided by listening to that urge and turning off the road? It's the angels assisting you. Don't forget to thank them when you notice the correlation.

If you don't understand keep asking until you feel you completely understand the answer.

It can take days, weeks or even months to receive an answer you fully understand. And sometimes, the answer comes through an event or moment of sudden insight.

It may come to you unexpectedly during a casual phone call from a friend, something you read in a book, newspaper or magazine, from a conversation between strangers you inadvertently overheard. The main thing is to be aware and open.

Faith endears you to your unseen supporters, as well as creating the space for miracles, which is where they gather and thrive.

Miracles do not have to be earth shattering. Miracles can be tiny happenings in your daily life that make you feel good or that make you laugh or even cry from happiness.

How do Angels Communicate with Us?

Angels communicate in fascinating ways.

• A book they feel you should read may fall off a shelf in your path.
• You may suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, have a desire to contact someone or go somewhere.
• They can also send information in dreams.
• Sending information as compressed energy that unfolds over time. You'll have a knowing but won't be able to verbalize it or explain it for a while as the pieces of the puzzle come together.
• They can also send you very high level healing energies and healing. If you are able to feel subtle energies you may feel this as warmth or tingling pulses of energy moving through your body.

Start Contacting Your Angels

The following suggestions may help you in making initial contact with your angels.

• Choose a regular time each day to communicate to your guardian angels. Before going to sleep or when you first wake up may be the best time.
• If you have depression, negative feelings, fear, nightmares - ask your guardian angels for extra protection.
• Remain open to messages from your angel at all times, especially when you sense a warning that you are making a mistake or a prickly feeling of danger.
• Don't be irresponsible and risk your personal safety. Your guardian angel can't override your free will.
• Be positive! Your angel will guide, heal and protect you but you must be responsible for your own actions. Don't blame others or dismiss problems in your life as either "something or someone being against you" or it being a curse.

What if I don't feel a connection?

Angels vibrate at a very high level and it may take a while to attune yourself to this high vibration. Be patient!

The most common blocks to getting angelic guidance are:

• Your diet - meat, caffeine, shellfish, most junk food (including chocolate), pre-packaged foods that contain chemical additives and preservatives are all low vibration foods that can block divine guidance.
• Drugs - (even over the counter products) and alcohol can cloud clarity.
• Negative People - make changes where you can in your own life and try to avoid negative people. If you can't do this because of your circumstances, it may take you longer to connect, but keep trying; eventually you'll be able to tune in to the higher vibrations.
• Drama - whether the chaos is yours or originates from others in your life, it can make you distracted and agitated, which adds to the difficulty of connecting with angels. Ask your angels to clear away all negativity and fear and fill you with the energies of peace and love.
• Disorganization - angels are attracted to clean, organized, quiet atmospheres therefore provide a welcoming atmosphere to appeal to angels.
• Inexperience - if you haven't done a lot of spiritual work or find it hard to relax and quiet your mind, be patient and realistic with your expectations. Try to increase your awareness of angels by heightening all your senses and meditating regularly a few minutes at a time.
• Unrealistic Expectations - if you're expecting a talking hologram to appear and talk to you for an extended amount of time, it's not going to happen. Especially at first, the contact may be brief and more of a feeling than visual or audio. If you are lonely, you need human contact! Get out and join clubs or groups with interests like yours. Life is meant to be lived - get out there!

Working with Others' Guardian Angels

You can also ask another persons' guardian angels for help or assistance. If someone, say your boss or a co-worker, is making life more difficult than you think is fair, ask their guardian angel to have them be nicer to you or leave you alone altogether. If you are having problems with a loved one, plead your case to their guardian angel and ask for their help to bring peace into the situation. Others' guardian angels are willing to help as long as our requests are positive and won't hurt the one they are to protect. If it's a big issue, write a letter to the person's guardian angels asking for help. It may sound bizarre but it works.

The angels and the Angelic Realm are a part of the energy healing world, have you looked at any of the other modalities?
