Let the Healing Touch of A Comforting Angel Embrace You

Let the Healing Touch of A Comforting Angel Embrace You

Comforting Angel by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels.

In times of great sorrow and despair, a special Angel is called upon from the Heavenly Hosts.  She is the comforter.  

She responds as an emissary of the Divine to dispense hope and provide comfort.

People most often experience her healing Presence in response to the loss of a loved one through death.  Your very human pain of loss brings forth her expression of Divine Love to lend strength to a human being who may be in danger of being trapped in despair.

The stories you hear of those who have experienced her healing embrace are often those who have suffered the death of a child or a parent or may have been confronted by the unexpected death of a loved one.  In these life situations, mourning and pain may seem more than can be born.

Special Angels whose dedication to helping humanity through these difficult times are especially aware of the human emotions that lead away from being aware of Divine Love.

Knowingly being reminded of Divine Love can provide comfort and grace.  Angels understand the anger, the rage, and pain that must be worked through in the human experience.

Comforting Angels offer, through their essential nature as Divine Love, a glimpse into awareness of the eternal quality of life and the eternal nature of a perspective that can help you transcend the suffering of the loss by awareness of the deep truths as they move into your consciousness even in the midst of your pain.

Those who have been ministered to by a comforting Angel have often described it as being wrapped in a cocoon of Love that feels tangible.  Somehow, mysteriously in the midst of their deepest pain, they feel loved, supported and connected to life in a way that strengths them.

The experience is fleeting.  It often is wondered about because it can be hard from the limitations of our human perspective to understand how such a deep and profound love can enfold them in the midst of their sorrow and loss.  The blessing of this Angelic touch is so different from the other moments of mourning the loss of a loved one that it remains burned in the heart as a mystery.

The ridged instance of defining reality to the confines of what can be experienced with the 5 senses may leave you unable to even believe what occurred.  Although the touch of a comforting Angel is so profound that it may be pondered in the heart throughout the rest of your life, it is not of the material world but instead of the crossing of the spiritual world.  It may well be dismissed as imagination.

As humanity evolves into the next stage and next age of understanding, more and more stories are shared of those whose lives were touched by an Angel.  Between the perceptions of humanity and the realm of the Angels there is a thinning of a veil that separates these different realities.

As more and more of these otherworldly experiences are revealed, people find the courage to share their truth. Hearing the experiences of others serves to bring awareness into what is known as conscious reality.

More and more, the Presence and even the intervention of Angels is a part of mainstream understanding.  Each time that someone shares the mystical and mysterious story from their own life, others find the courage to believe in their own experiences.

There is more than what is material in this world that is real.  Opening your heart and mind to an awareness beyond the confinement of only the physical senses expands your knowledge in profound ways.

Something I find fascinating is that it is only since humanity has crowned science as King that the presence of Angels was questioned.  Throughout the history of the Bible, Angels were the frequent messengers of God.

Artists revealed their inner vision in their art which was often populated by Angels, from Archangels to cherubim.  Mankind before the age of science did not question the Presence of Angels as a part of life.  It was understood that Angels were a part of the world in which we lived.

This separation of the world of Spirit from the world of matter is a somewhat recent societal perspective.  Sadly the insistence on only perceiving what is material as real deprives humanity of enjoying the vast array of beings that live in a non-material form.

Scientific research proves that you can only perceive what your mind believes.  That is part of why the sharing of the subtle experiences of the healing touch of a comforting Angel is essential.

Denying the existence of Angels serves no purpose in life.
Truth does not disappear by our denial of it.
      – Genevieve Gerard

More people than you can imagine have told themselves they must be imagining things when they received the healing touch of an Angel.  I find that very sad.  Angels are a part of life.  They are a crucial part of the heavenly hosts, and they are an integral part of how Spirit interacts with and influences humanity.

The Touch of A Comforting Angel

It seems that at the time of deep despair and sorrow it is easier for the touch of a comforting Angel to make it through to your perception because the pain of the loss has lowered your defenses.

hope to heal the heart of the genuine pain of loss, seems to make it easier to expand your consciousness to the Presence of Angels.

Comforting Angels have dedicated their lives to serve humanity as an expression of Divine Love and grace.  Their mission is to provide hope to their human counterpart across the veil.

You may have felt their healing touch when your heart was broken and you thought that all was lost.  You may have been blessed by the protective enfoldment in peace, love and even joy in the time of your greatest sorrow.

If so, at the end of this article is a way you can share your story and experience.  It may be a blessing to others who struggle to understand.  It may fortify others to reveal their truth.

Bringing an understanding of the Angelic presence and spiritual purpose is why I write about Angels.  The Heavens are not deaf to the cries of humanity.  God knows all sorrows and hears all pleas.  He dispenses His Angels to distribute His Love and comfort to humanity that often turns away his messengers and denies his blessing because of the instance that only what is experienced through the 5 senses is real and that the material world is the only world there is. That is quite simply not true.

The life force of Spirit, the world of the Soul, the realm of Angels is all real.  The world of the Soul and the kingdom of Angels are a part of the living force of Spirit, are all real.  To expand your awareness to their presence and purpose in your life opens you to truths and understandings that will enrich your life.

Meditation and prayer are often the portals to this enlightened awareness.  I invite you to leave behind the limitations of what is unreal to open your heart, mind, and Soul to the rich reality of spiritual life.

I invite you to call upon Angels to join with you when you pray and meditate.  Aligning with your Soul is helpful.  The kingdom of Angels is in the realm of Spirit where your Soul resides.

If you want to be comforted by Angels I encourage you to consciously build the energetic bridge to your Soul through meditation and then expand your awareness to the presence of Angels.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Commune with Angels

To Commune with Angels

To Commune with Angels by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my on-going series on Angels.

There are many kinds of Angels that inhabit our world.

Some Angels work with your Soul to provide what you need as a way of providing Divine support and guidance along your life’s adventure.  These Angels I often refer to as “Guiding Angels.”  Among these, and perhaps the best known angelic presence in your life is your Guardian Angel.

Certainly, your Guardian Angel is the Angel that is most aware of and attuned to your earth adventure.  Your Guardian Angel is aligned with your Soul in the process of creation of your specific life experience. 

From the miracle of creation that started with the spark of Divine Light of your Soul and gave you the breath of life and activated your birth, Angels are available to you

Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you.
              – St. Francis De Sales

With their understanding of Divine Will, Divine Purpose and the overall plan for humanity, their support and guidance are activated in your life at birth. 

When To Commune With Angels

Because your Angels are an unfettered source of experiencing and receiving Divine Love there are special times in your life when it is encouraged that you consciously commune with your Angles for help.

When Looking For Help, Comfort, and Divine Insight

Angels serve as messengers of Divine insight.  In fact, the very name Angel means messenger of God.

They are available to put you in touch with energies that are beyond the material, for they reside as spirit.  They can help you expand your conscious awareness of the world of spirit by their Presence.

Among the ways that the Angels’ commune with you are sensations.  As Angels are beings of Spirit they are aligned with Divine Love, so the sensation of being completely enfolded in endless and totally unconditional love is why when communing with your Angels you may feel comforted, supported, and sustained.

Remember there is a partnership with your Soul and your Angels.  This partnership never deviates from working for what is congruent with Divine Will, Divine Purpose, and your Soul purpose for your life.

No matter how much you may cry out to manifest the desires of your personality or to feed and preen your ego, that is not what your Angels are aboutWithin you, as is true within every human being, is a dual awareness, a merger of matter and spirit, physical and spiritual, temporal and eternal.

The Angels understand those dual forces are in your nature, but as beings of spirit and light, they do not experience the pain of human desire.  They are constantly aligned with the eternal perspective and can use that alignment to provide more of that conscious awareness to you.

To call upon your Angels for help, comfort, strength, and support is always possible and encouraged as long as you remember that your personal will, your free will, is your responsibility.  Angels cannot and will not interfere in personality issues.

Loss of A Loved One

Dear Angels quote

 

When you have lost someone you loved is a particularly effective time for Angels to make their Presence felt in your conscious awareness because they are naturally aligned with the Soul Plane.

Their Presence can serve as a comforting bridge through which the bond of love can exist between your Soul and the Soul of your departed loved one.  The Angels can help intensify the energy of love as an act of their love, the love of your departed and Divine Love.  This is a powerful time and way to experience Angels in your life.

Of course, being human and thus having free will you can choose how much of that “Love Connection” you wish to experience at any timeThe comfort that comes from the Angels at the time of the death of a loved one is so powerful and profound that I call them “Comforting Angels.”  Their ability to hone the sensation of Divine Love so that it can be felt and experienced in the human experience is amazing.

When praying for someone who is suffering from the grief of the death of a loved one, I often request and invoke their Presence for the one who is grieving.  By invoking the attention of the Angels for the one who is dealing with this life challenge I feel that I am able to provide some small support and comfort not matter if I am physically close or far.  The calling upon Angels is a way of extending my love across the miles.

When You Want To Experience the Meaning of Love

One of the most significant purposes for which Angels are available in human life is as a source of helping a human being experience Love, and by this, I mean Divine Love, unconditional and untinged by need or desire.

The ability for humanity to learn to love is a key element in God’s Divine Plan.

Love is the unifying force between the worlds of spirit and matter. Love lets us use matter for expression but remains free of matter in its manifestation.  This is a mystery worth pondering.
              – Genevieve Gerard

That Divine Love is received through angelic Presence makes sense, since Angels have been perceived as the messengers of God since time immemorial. 

Angels are also believed to be the primary residents of heaven.  Yet it is their role and works with humanity that is for me the most exciting part of the relationship between the angelic and human experience.

It gives me great comfort to know that the forces of Love have a host of angel assistants to help humanity in learning what love is because it seems to me that learning to love is job one for humanity.  And that is not an easy task for a material being to learn.  Physical desires and the fabled desires of the flesh can be a challenge for every human being, through every single life.

Love can be expressed through those physical desires through sexuality and passion, but love, real love is spiritual and eternal.  The sexuality and attachment to the physical form of another may open you to Love, but the real bond of Love is formed in the spiritual and eternal aspect of life, Soul to Soul.

When You Want To Get In Touch With Your Soul

When in the course of life’s experience, the temporal nature of life results in the loss and death of the one you love, the Angels can serve as a bridge to awareness of your Soul, and the Soul of your beloved which at death has become fully spirit as it shed the material body it inhabited for a time.

We’ve never had to look far to find our angels. Angels have never really been out of reach. We can always discover angels from the inside-out because it is the angel inside us who can point the way to all our other angels.
              – Author Unknown

This is also true of the place where the Soul resides.  Spirit is unfettered by the rules or needs of matter.  As you commune with the Angels, and as you become increasingly aware of your Soul as a part of your human anatomy, this different spiritual perspective becomes more real to you.

Remember going forward that Angels can help you learn about your Soul and understand and touch your Soul every day.

It may have been to provide physical protection.  It may have been to intuitive inspiration.  It may have been to provide strength and courage in times of sorrow or adversity.  Know that your Angels are always around and you can commune with them if you quiet the chatter and open yourself to their subtle presence. Read my other posts in the series below for ways to connect with Angels.

 

Namaste,

    Genevieve

Letting Angels Teach Us the Meaning of Love

Letting Angels Teach Us the Meaning of Love

Teach Us Love by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of our on-going series on Angels.

We are told in the stories of Creation that God created the Heavens and the Earth.

That may be a statement that has sometimes given you pause, or, it may be something that never crosses your mind; or something you have never considered.

The mystery of Angels is that they are beings of Spirit and Light while we, as humans, are beings of Spirit and Matter.

Tradition tells us that Angels are the messengers of God.  With the evolution of science in human consciousness, the role of Angels diminished.  Humanity has in the recent past become more limited by its collective insistence that only what is experienced through the five senses is real.

An amazing aspect of consciousness is that it is always totally subjective.  Without a concept in your mind, you cannot perceive.  This is a part of life’s mystery.  This is why determining what is real, and differentiating what is unreal is such a significant part of the spiritual journey.

There is a common folk saying that “seeing is believing.”  Yet, we cannot see the energy of radio waves but we now know they are there. Ultimately, I believe it is also true that “believing is seeing.” Ponder on this.

Understanding the laws of matter and relying on your five senses is one way you may see the world, but, it is not the only way.  Sensation and perception can open you to what is known as the sixth sense.  Just acknowledging the possibility that there is more to reality than what you might experience with your limited five senses can shift your awareness. The truth is “we don’t know what we don’t know.”

Here is a secret; opening your awareness is necessary if you want to communicate and learn from Angels.

Greater Awareness Is Coming

Communicating with Angels is something that has changed in these emerging times.  It is important to understand that consciousness is a part of livingness in every form in which life is expressed.  Consciousness is an ongoing process of both evolution and involution as an expression of life itself.

At this time in human evolution, consciousness is transforming to a greater awareness of reality.  A new consciousness is emerging that empowers the human experience to encompass more than just dense matterThe world of the Soul and the awareness of Spirit is in greater awareness.  The substance of your Soul is Spirit and LightConnecting with your Soul Light opens you to the presence and communion with the Angelic Kingdom.

The separation that has long existed between these two realms, Spirit and Matter, Human and Angelic have been thinning.  This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as “the thinning of the veil.” The tasks of the evolution of consciousness are becoming more permeable and interactive than in previous times.

This change seems to be a part of the creation of a “new heaven and a new earth” that is part of the prophecy of the emerging consciousness.  This foretold creation impacts the relationship between Angels and humanity that is compatible with the evolution in consciousness of both realms.

Messenger of God

In ancient stories of Angels appearing to humanity, the Angels were portrayed as messengers.  Angels, being more recognizable and compatible to human life arrived and were visible to communicate important messages.  The stories related often speak to the fear that humans had of Angelic Presence since the very first thing the Angels would say is “be not afraid.”

Fear is a common response of the human experience when presented with what is unfamiliar and unknown.

Special Angels, often Archangels, were chosen for these missions.  And, although these stories are rare and noteworthy, they are sufficiently common for humanity to understand that Angels are real and a part of the relationship between humanity and the Divine.

The role of a Guardian Angel is an example of how the angelic kingdom is aware of the challenges of the human experience.  A special relationship exists between an individual and their Guardian Angel.  That relationship is forged between your Soul and the Angel that takes on the charge of being your Guardian Angel in your life.

Angels are spirits, flames of fire; they are higher than man, they have wider connections.
                        – Matthew Simpson

What is significant to understand and honor in these times of the thinning of the veil between heaven and earth is that both humanity and the Angels are constantly expanding their consciousness and awareness.  Angels and humanity, although on different pathways of evolving consciousness have a relationship.  This relationship is about different ways of experiencing the divine.

What We Can Learn From Angels

What is amazing is that these two very different manifestations of life and consciousness are learning similar lessons.  Learning these lessons in a body composed of matter is very different from learning these lessons as a being of Spirit and Light.

Humanity, as it evolves and ascends its consciousness to the ever greater awareness of Light, Love, and Spirit, have much they can learn from Angels.  Now, with the thinning of the veil between Heaven and Earth greater communication is possible.  The Angels remain messengers, as they have always been, but their ability to communicate, teach us and guide us is expanding.

Teaching Us The Meaning of Love

At this time, I believe mostly what they are teaching humanity is about Love.  Learning to Love, and ultimately infusing and transforming matter with Love in an epic transformation.  This lesson is integral to humanity evolving (beyond its animal nature) and is essential for planet earth to become a sacred planet.

Humanity is learning to Love, and Love infusing matter is the mystery of redemption that expands into Cosmic levels of purpose.
                           – Genevieve Gerard

Angels are engaged in this Divine purpose to help and support humanity in accomplishing this transition.  The result of the separation of the world of matter from the Angelic realm thinning is an increased opportunity for communion and communication.  The presence of Angels is moving more and more into human awareness.  Perception is expanding beyond the five senses.

Meditation, prayer, and humanities reach for the Angels and the longing for the true meaning of love are revealing more and more.  The Angelic communication to human consciousness is mostly telepathic and is most often perceived as a whisper of the still quiet voice that is also the tool of your Soul (Higher Self) guiding you.

The Angels are committed to the fulfillment of what is aligned with Divine Will for you in your life.  Indeed, since Angels do not have free will like humans have, they can do no other.

What We Can Teach The Angels

As the Angels are emerging more and more to help humanity learn about Love, they are being exposed to what free will means.  I can only imagine that they are learning from humanity as they help humanity as part of their own angelic involutionary path back to mankind.

Certainly, the increased exposure to human emotion, particularly the pain of unfulfilled desire is a learning experience.  Human life, confined in matter and emotionally subject to the astral plane requires a major shift in consciousness.  In order for the Angels to support humanity in this great lesson of Love, they must become more aware of the trials and tribulations of the human life experience.

This is a great sacrifice the Angels are making.  When they reveal themselves to you in these emerging times I encourage you to be thankful for the sacrifice of service that they are offering to you.  Even to embody matter sufficiently for you to see them, hear them and sense them is different from their essence of Spirit and Light. Have compassion and gratitude and do not abuse their service to humanity.

As this process of revelation increases, the only way humanity can repay their sacrifice is by opening to the highest levels of Love and merging your Love with theirs. When they see life on earth being transformed by Love, and how their gift brings new awareness and consciousness to humanity their joy will expand.  Angels will demonstrate a new integrated way of being that is infused with Love and aligned with Divine Will. I encourage you to honor them with love as the blessing that they are to humanity and to your life and growth.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Breeze of an Angels Wing

Feel the Breeze of an Angels Wing

Be Not Afraid by Genevieve Gerard

This article is a part of my on-going series on Angels

Angels are shy beings, composed Spirit and not matter.  For that reason, they do not appear in a way that can be seen with the physical eye.

There are those whose eyes are focused in such a way that they can see what is etheric.  It is they who can see the fairies and other Spirit beings who live among us, often both unknown and unseen.

It is important to remember that there is more to life than what appears in solid matterSpirit, your Soul, and angelic beings are real and reside outside of the visual field of your physical eyes which are attuned to the material world.

Stories of Angels

Children are the most likely to experience these beings.  To be born able to see the etheric along with perceiving the material is a gift.  However, when with childish innocence, they share their vision with the adults in their life, many if not most adults, deny that what they are seeing is real.  This invalidation often convinces the child not to share their gifted perception and makes them doubt their experience.

In the scriptures of every culture, and in the legends or every religion there are stories of Angels.  In some of these stories, the Angels appear more in physical form.  In others, they appear more ethereal. In some stories, they seem to be a fully formed physical appearance differentiated by a glow, often around their head or sometimes their whole body, complete with wings.  Consider the many paintings of Angels by Renaissance artists.

What seems to be common in Angelic visitations is that their very first message is for the human to “be not afraid.”  Angels know that people are not used to seeing them and are not used to receiving messages from God.  An angelic message is an unusual and rare experience.  It is a great blessing and a great honor.

The universality of angelic appearances makes me wonder why the ability to see an Angel is systematically trained out of children the world over. This phenomenon applies even to many parents who claim to be believers and have faith.

The very word Angel means messenger of God.  It would seem that a message from God is a great gift, not something to be feared or ignored.  It appears that children could be encouraged to explore and develop their etheric vision rather than be told that it is their imagination.

Somehow, in a world that is composed of both Spirit and Matter, Spirit can make people uncomfortable.  Angels, who are the messengers of God and who watch over you to help you your entire life are often summarily dismissed by those they serve.

This tendency has not always been so.  Perhaps it is because the reality of matter has become so invasive in this world that the presence of Spirit is denied.  It seems easier to deny the existence of Angels than it is to accept that the world is wider and more fantastic than what the five senses perceive.

Still, people long for the comfort of Angels.  They cry out for the aid of Angels.  They use Angel cards for guidance and desire the assurance of God’s grace and awareness through their trials and tribulations.  They hope that Angels are real even though they dare not believe.

Many people, when you speak to them of Angels recall their childhood experiences.  It is not unusual for a child, around the age of 7 to have an Angelic visitation that reveals the mysteries and direction for their life.  This event often requires prompting even to be remembered.

I wrote about this phenomenon in an article: Open Your Heart to Your Childhood Angelic Message.

What is amazing to me is how universal this experience is; and how frequently it can be completely forgotten. Forgotten even as someone struggles with finding their life’s purpose; that is most often the subject of the childhood angelic vision.  Remembering, and opening to the Presence of Angels in your life is life empowering.

Spirit vs. Matter

It is interesting that while focusing on living your life, you can ignore such a significant part of the world, Spirit.  Matter is interpreted as “real,” while perceptions of Spirit are often labeled as “unreal.”

That may be why the words of an ancient mantra from the writings of the Ageless Wisdom declare:

“May I be led from darkness into Light, from the unreal to the real, from death to immortality?”

Sadly, the overemphasis on the material parts of life make Spiritual truths and Spiritual experiences harder and harder to understand.  It is as if the compass to guide people between these worlds has been lost in the annals of time.

To limit your perception of the world to only the world of matter
is to deny much of what is most mysterious and most glorious about life.
       – Genevieve Gerard

Meditation in the stillness, quiet contemplations, and dreams are ways that you can listen to the guidance of your Soul, or experience the Presence of Angels.

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His Angels, His ministering spirits, who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.
       – Paracelsus

To deny the realm of Angels and the world of Spirit is foolish.  Although the Ageless Wisdom teaches that there is a veil that separates the world of Angels from the material world, that veil has been thinning as part of the transition in the consciousness of humanity.

The cries and need of humanity have moved heaven to grant greater awareness and understanding of the realm of Angels and the realm of the Soul.  This shift in perception is a part of the evolution of humanity over the next phase of planetary life.

Those who, as children, had an awareness of Angelic beings are able, through meditation and prayer, to find that the Presence of Angels is becoming more accessible.  This change is an integral part of the plan for humanity.

More and more, as books about Angels are published, and more and more as Angel cards are created, the reality of the realm of Angels finds its way into humanities understanding.

The near stillness recalls what is forgotten, extinct angels.
       – Georg Traki

Angels are real.  The fact that you do not often see them with your eyes does not mean that they are not present.  That you do not see them is not important.  You can feel them and sense them in the stillness.

Commune With Angels

When you wish to connect, and perceive the Spirit World, while you are in the consciousness of the material world, a shift in your attention is required.  It is not the Angels who need that change but your personality, your emotional needs, your ego and the aspects of your “lower self.”  Otherwise, even though full heavenly hosts surround you, you can ignore them, see nothing and feel nothing.

Angels are attracted to humanity whenever you reach out to your Soul when you pray or meditate when you are open to the world of Spirit and quiet your mind.
      – Genevieve Gerard

That is why I instruct you when reaching for communion with your Soul or the Angels to first “Calm your mind, open your heart and Invite the Light.”

Since your Soul and the Angels share communicating with you through soft and still impressions, I always advise that you have beside you a special journal to write and record the direction or wisdom you have received in your meditations.

I have found the path to the awareness of your Soul and the way to commune with Angels is similar.   Both your Soul and Angels reside in the awareness of Spirit and therefore require some transition in your consciousness to be available to you.

Meditation is the most useful tool for coming into contact and communication with Angels.  However, let us not forget that Angels are automatically attracted by prayer and rituals that invoke spiritual experiences.  That is why places of worship are often so imbued with Angelic Presence that they can be felt or sensed without conscious calling upon Angels.

Detecting the Presence of Angels is often the unexpected blessing of spending quiet time in contemplation in the great worship houses in the world.  Over the years and centuries, these citadels of worship have called the Angels.  The atoms of these places have become infused with Angelic Presence in ways that make the awareness of the realm of Angels more accessible.

Angels come with your invitation and invocation.  Their presence is subtle most of the time.  You may sometimes have an impression that is on the edge of seeing, or you may feel the subtle movement of air that is the gentle breeze of an Angel’s wing. Let me know your thoughts on this!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Childhood Angelic Message

Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message

Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels

There is, among those who identify themselves as spiritual, a common childhood experience.

This common childhood experience seems to be an early conscious awareness of the Soul as a presence and force in their life. It appears to be, most often an experience that occurs around the age of seven.  It may be interpreted, especially by the adults in the child’s life, as an episode of childhood imagination and sadly dismissed and discounted.

As such, it is often forgotten.

Angels often appear in our lives and just wait for us to say hello.
        – Katrina Mayer

When you begin to talk about Angels, it’s incredible how many people suddenly remember the experience.  It is almost as if when you open your mind and your heart to the awareness of Angels the memory gets unlocked.

What I have found most significant about unlocking this childhood memory is the importance it holds in your adult life.

This experience is often a forecasting and clarifying of the purpose of your life.  This event of foretelling and guiding is frequently described as a sensation of being so completely loved and so completely supported that the fullness of the heart can barely be contained.

Most people who describe this childhood memory have tears in their eyes.  The sense of feeling loved so unconditionally becomes a cherished memory that is re-affirming.  The guiding message and insights shared, for many, confirms a belief in God.

This angelic appearance and guiding message have for some long been cherished and pondered in their heart. Some seem to have forgotten this experience, but once they recall and remember it, find a sense of meaning and direction that is both life affirming and profound.

What is fascinating to observe is how such an intense experience can be forgotten and dismissed.  What is sad is that the answer you may have been searching for your whole adult life is often whispered to you by an Angel in your youth and then dismissed or forgotten.

Read my Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message article

 

You might not think that is possible, but I have found it to be such a common experience that it seems necessary to talk about that childhood experience.  Then it is important to consider its meaning and purpose in your life.  I have after the memory is revealed, heard people wonder “how could I have forgotten that?”

The relief and assurance that accompanies the memory can be life transforming.  With the memory comes the reassurance that you are not alone.  The relief of that realization is profound.  Consider that this message about the purpose of your life can often be life changing.

 

There are lessons and revelations available in the process of both forgetting and remembering.  The discounting and discarding of your childhood experience by adults and the influence of “conscious reality” is enlightening.

IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS

There are a few thoughts and observations that are important you understand.

  1. You are not alone in your life.
  2. Your Angels have been with you since the beginning of your life.
  3. Your Soul is the Divine spark of you that remains a source of unconditional love and grace throughout your life.
  4. Your Soul and your Angels reside together in the etheric plane.  Their substance is of energy and Light, a different creation or composition than the world of matter.

Many children find it easy to believe in an experience of the presence of what is invisible in the world.  In childhood the veil between the material world and the spiritual world is thin.  Children are born with an understanding and awareness that there is more to life than just the experience of the five senses.

Over time, that awareness of the dual nature of themselves as a being of both Soul and matter is all too often carefully and critically trained out of them.  Parental fears of what it might mean or how others might interpret it limit many childhood experiences.  Criticism and judgment ultimately cause a rejection of the truth and awareness with which they are born.

So much of becoming aware of the presence of Angels in our lives is a process of remembering and accepting what we knew to be real as children.
            – Genevieve Gerard

There are a special time and special event that often happen in your youth (a lot of times around the age of seven.)  This experience is uniquely empowering and revealing to remember as an adult.  Most often this event is a contact and communication with your guardian angel.  It is a starting point to a relationship that could be fostered to support and sustain you through your entire life.

What is most significant about this childhood meeting is that it is so life affirming and life changing.  When you remember the content of the message that is delivered by your guardian Angel about the purpose of your life it can provide a sense of purpose and direction.  In my many years of counseling and life guidance coaching, or as someone recently identified it “Soul Coaching,” finding your Soul purpose in life is inspiring.

The more clarity with which you can visualize and understand the purpose of your life the more empowering it is.  The more you can transcend your fears to achieve and manifest your dreams the more successful you can be.

So, this angelic childhood encounter of life guidance is critical.  It is important to remember this special blessing and, therefore, worth taking some time in meditation to consider.

For many just realizing that an experience that they have held deeply in their hearts was real is enough to unlock the memory.

For others, the habit of denying the reality of angelic presence has become deeply ingrained.  Even, when as adults they begin to explore the reality of the presence of Angels in the world and their lives, that parental voice that this event was just childish imagination might be a challenge to transcend.

If you are one of those people who was criticized or even reprimanded for your imagination as a child, it may help you to understand that imagination is a portal to the realm of angelic presence.  Angels can cross into the world of matter at times, but it is not where they reside.  Their substance, their guidance, and their messages are gentle promptings that work through the intuition and the imagination.

Their voice is a whispered prompting that often flashes so quickly across your mind that you need to quiet your mind chatter even to hear it.  The voice of your angels and the promptings of your Soul are often only heard in the silence of prayer, meditation or contemplation.  There they respond to your invitation and invocation.

In fact, it is during this childhood visitation that your Angel can reveal your Soul purpose.  It is one of the very few times in your life where those who remember the encounter may report a voice accompanying the revelation.  If you are someone who experiences communication with the Angels you know that most often their communication is telepathic and not frequently accompanied by sounds that can be perceived by your material senses.

It also seems significant to observe that among those who remember and report this visitation event, it often is at an age when you are too young to be able to write insightful notes to yourself.  This divine message is written on your heart.  It is meant to be pondered in your heart.

Remembering the guidance received from your Guardian Angel depends on opening your heart and your mind as you ponder.

USING MEDITATION

Below is a meditation link to help you remember the advice you received as a child from your Guardian Angel.

Meditation is the most efficient way to open the threshold between the material world and the realm of spirit where the Angels reside wince it is where your Soul calls home.

I mention your Soul for two reasons:

  1. First, opening to the touch of your Soul is a dynamic way to transform your life.
  2. Second, is that there is a very special relationship that exists between your Guardian Angel and your Soul as partners to support you in your earthly life, from the heavenly realm.

So to come into greater awareness of your Guardian Angel and to have the increased awareness of the Presence of your Soul, use meditation as the bridge.

To meditate upon or to remember and clarify the childhood guidance you received, it is as always wise to prepare.  Since in this meditation, you have the intention of revealing guidance about the purpose of your life I recommend some preparatory steps.

  1. Get your journal or, at least, some paper and a pen and place it next to where you will sit to meditate. That is often important so you can record and remember the insights and impressions you receive in meditation.
  2. It is often helpful to take some steps to make the space sacred. It can be as simple or complex as you like, but this focus declares your intention to open your mind to the realm of Angels and your Soul.
  3. You might wish to light a candle or burn some incense or have a crystal’s energy to be infused from this meditation.
  4. These little rituals are sometimes helpful in realizing that meditation is a time apart from you ordinary consciousness. It is a special time designated for greater awareness and understanding.
  5. Then consider your intention to remember the guidance of your Guardian Angel and be open to gain the insight and wisdom of your Soul about the Higher purpose for your life.

Namaste,

A MEDITATION OF REMEMBERING

Check out my article on “Opening Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message” that I wrote to go with this meditation.

A MEDITATION OF REMEMBERING

As always to begin, calm your mind, open your heart, invite the light.

 

Sit quietly with your spine aligned, let your energy center as you bring your awareness to a place of peace.

 

Although you are opening to remembering a childhood event, come into the present.  Let the past fade away.  Firmly relegate the past to the past.  That was then, and this is now.

 

Release any feelings that may accompany the reactions others had if you shared your experience.  Free yourself from external judgments and influences.

 

Take a deep breath as you are calming and centering your energies.  As you do so, forgive yourself.  Let go of any blame or self-judgement.

 

Forgive those who may not have supported you in the way that you needed in your childhood.

 

You are here now.  You are now open and receptive.  The past has no power over you.  Right now you can expand your awareness to hear the message that the Angels bring to help and guide you in your life.

 

As you draw in your breath, draw in the Divine energies of grace and forgiveness.

 

As you exhale, release all of the negative “should” thoughts you may be having, imagining them moving away on the breath until they disappear.

 

You may wish just to sit quietly breathing while your energy calms and centers.  You can do this as long as you like being gentle with yourself, letting yourself come to the point of calm and a place of peace.

 

Release and forgive with the exhale of each breath anyone who may have encouraged you to forget these childhood moments you are now endeavoring to recall.  Let the past be in the past.

 

Surrender into the safety of being right here and right now.

Now, draw in a really deep and relaxing breath, drawing the air to the very bottom of your lungs as you expand your diaphragm to draw in more of the vitality of the breath.

 

Continue to draw in your breath until you have filled your lungs all the way to the upper lobes of the lungs.

 

Hold your breath briefly and consider that as you release your breath, you are also releasing anything that could interfere with you receiving the guidance and clarity that is available to you today in this meditation.

 

Pause and be receptive in the stillness to the quiet promptings of your heart.  In the silence open your mind and heart.  Listen.

 

With your heart and mind open, remember the time of innocence when the whole of your life lay before you were naive and unformed.  Then, let any memories that are hidden emerge.

 

Take this time to recapture your childhood experience and bring it to your conscious recall, open your heart and mind as a child.

 

If no memories appear, take a moment to imagine a connection to your Guardian Angel on a thread of Light and open your mind to receive any guidance and clarity that may be available for you today.

 

You may wish to visualize a bridge from the top of your head to a golden radiating Light that represents your Soul.  Then, with your mind calm and your heart open be receptive to whatever awareness of the spiritual realm that is available to you today to guide and empower you on your life’s journey to help align you with your life’s purpose.

 

Remain in this meditative focus for as long as feels right for you and record in your journal any thoughts, impressions and memories that may come to you.

Stay in the peaceful nurturing calm and grace of meditation.  Let your heart be filled with the unconditional love that accompanies an Angel’s presence.

Be open and receptive without judgment or expectation.  Let what comes to you flow to you spontaneously.  You can consider and evaluate it later.  Right now just be receptive and open.

When you feel you have completed the meditation, take the time to record your impressions.  You can ponder on them either now or later.

Last express your gratitude to your Angel for the gift of guidance that you have received. If not now, then shortly.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity In Miraculous Ways

Read The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity article by Genevieve Gerard

 

This article is a part of my ongoing series on Angels and Meditation.

This morning the revelations of my meditations are focused upon the way that the heavenly hosts respond to humanities prayers for help.

Call Upon the Divine

When an individual, or even more powerfully and profoundly a group, call upon the Divine for healing or Divine intervention with a world problem, the prayers and invocations create an activation of energy to which all Divine beings respond.

That response is always aligned with Divine Will and the overall plan for earth’s evolution. In the heavenly hosts, where the Will of God is known, all response is compatible with that plan. In all miraculous responses, the highest good of all is seen and considered. The Angels always work from that perspective. It is their nature and their commitment.

Within that scope miracles can be activated and empowered in response to humanities prayers and need. Miracles are the mysterious and at times seemingly magical power of prayer and invocation. This is why prayer works.

Miracles, although they may appear to exist outside of humanities scientific understanding, are always compatible with both the Will of the Creator and the Creator’s Divine Plan. More and more revelations of truths are being revealed by science that may explain how energy works to explain what has heretofore only been understood as miraculous.

These profound mysteries involve a connection between humanity and its evolving consciousness and the angelic kingdom. God did not create humankind and then leave it to its own devices to struggle through the eons of time isolated and adrift.

Throughout the history of humanity, there are world teachers and world saviors that have come to reveal spiritual truths previously unknown or unclear to humanity. No matter what religion or dogma shapes the messages of these exalted beings, or how limited humanities understanding of these truths may be, this outreach from the Creator for a relationship is ongoing. The sad fact is that all too frequently people use these revelations and guidance as an excuse to divide humanity.

That spiritual revelation is used to make war rather than to focus upon Gods Love to bring humanity into greater relationship with Him is a mystery.
              – Genevieve Gerard

The relationship between God and humankind is a covenant relationship that is best explained as an I-Thou Relationship.” The relationship is one that is embedded with Divine Love and filled with Divine Grace.

The relationship with humanity and the relationship with the Divine, and the unique dynamic that exists only between God as Father and humanity as the dual creation, as a Son of God and Son of Man, is both powerful and profound. The Divine spark that God gave to human beings breathed life into His creation. A creation that was made in His image and is unique in all of creation.

Inherent in this creation of man endowed with God’s Divine spark is the brotherhood of man. To use religion and relationship with God to divide people is a violation of every spiritual truth revealed by every spiritual guide, avatar or world savior who has every walked the earth to enhance God’s relationship with humanity.

The Divine spark that resides within every human being enables humankind to work and relate with God, not only as the creator but also as Jesus taught, as a Heavenly Father. This Father included free-will for humanity. This free will is a factor in humanities ongoing co-creator relationship with God and humanities constant need for forgiveness and Divine intervention.

Angels Respond to the Cries of Humanity

Whereas human beings enjoy their co-creative freedom, the Heavenly Hosts and Angels are eternally blended into the dictates of Divine Will. Certainly, this differentiation is significant when Angels respond to the cries of humanity.

Since the beginning of time on this planet, Angels have served as the messengers of the Divine to humanity. During the eons that have passed, Angels have followed their in-volutionary life path. As humanity has strived upon its evolutionary path, Angels have remained in the realm of spirit.

These paths, angelic and human have come together under the auspices of the Soul. When at the ensoulment of a new human life the aid and service of a Guardian Angel has been enlisted, there is a commitment to the life of that human being for assistance and protection. This relationship between a human being and a Guardian Angel has, over the eons created a bridge of awareness and consciousness.

Being a Guardian Angel for a human being, who has both the Divine spark of co-creation and free will is a sacrifice and service that the angelic kingdom offers as a manifestation of their nature as beings of Love, to serve humanity and God to help bring about the fulfillment of God’s plan for humanity.

This unique dynamic created a sacred relationship both activated and overseen by your Soul. The consequence of this merging of angelic consciousness into the co-creative, free-will aspects of human consciousness has resulted in a thinning of the veil that once separated human life and angelic life.

This has been accelerated by humanity calling upon the heavenly hosts for help and intervention in their lives. The Angels have responded and through that response and interaction have also learned and evolved their awareness and understanding of human life.

You Can Make A Difference

This expansion of consciousness of both humanity and Angels has created a greater awareness and understanding of both life expressions.

The Soul, your Soul, resides in the angelic realm. Your reach for the union with your Soul, the Divine Spark within you, is fostered by your desires, prayers, meditations, and invocations that help to blend further and fuse these energies.

The human effort of activating this merger of energies, through the invocation of personal will and meditation, have been rewarded by Divine Grace. Divine Grace is inherent in the human evolution process and an active force in revelation.

The merging of your human personality with your Soul opens the portal to the next stage in human evolution. Ponder on this.

Ancient Soul Mantram

It is to empower and enhance that integration that I offer you the ancient wisdom of the Mantra of the Soul for use in your meditations.

Mantram of the Soul – for Soul Infusion

 

Take a deep breath in and as you visualize the energy rising up to a radiant point of Light above your head.

 

Then say:

 

I Am the Soul
And also Love I Am
Above all else, I am will and clear design
My Will is now to lift the lower self into the Light Divine
That Light, I Am
Therefore, I must descend to where the lower-self awaits my coming.

 

Now breathing deeply, slowly and evenly, visualize the energy descending from the Soul, down the central energy channel through all of the chakras.
From the crown to the ajna
From the ajna to the throat
From the throat to the heart
From the heart to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the sacral center
And from the sacral center to the base of the spine.

 

Then circulate the energy back up
From the base of the spine to the sacral center
From the sacral center to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the heart
From the heart to the throat
From the throat to the ajna
From the ajna to the crown
And from the crown back up to the Soul.

 

Repeat this pattern circulating the energy back through all of the chakras and down to the base of the spine and back up three or more times.

 

When you feel the energies have merged, continue by saying:

 

That which intends to lift
And that which invokes the lifting
Are now at One
Such is my Will

 

Conclude by sounding the OM 3 times

 

          – adapted from the works of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul

For a greater understanding of how Mantras can empower your meditation, please read my article on The Power of Mantras.

You will find other articles on my website that contain mantras for the purpose of experiencing and integrating your Soul with your personality, which is a major step in the process of your spiritual growth and enlightenment.

As you reach for the touch of your Soul in your meditations, you will be actively and consciously working to bring the Angels into greater cooperation and support to humanity.

This can only be accomplished by a human being with the activation of your free will through your role as a co-creator with the Divine as you become increasingly aware of your Soul as a part of your full power and potential as a human being.

I encourage and urge you to meditate upon this with a variety of the meditations offered in the related links below.

I also encourage and invite you to explore the relationship with your Guardian Angels through the related links below.

Keep calling for Divine intervention and when you use your meditations and prayers to reach your Soul or the realm of Angels, add your free will and co-creative efforts to a plan and purpose that is beyond your current understanding but can be revealed to you and transform and empower everyones life in surprising ways.

 

Namaste,

  Genevieve

When Angels Come to Earth

When Angels Come to Earth

Read When Angels Come to Earth by Genevieve Gerard

This article is a part of my on-going series on Angels.

To share with you the mystery and magnificence of the presence of Angels in human experience, I find that I must discuss the subtle role that angels play to bring a unique energy into manifestation.

A part of the angelic mission and purpose, when they choose to come to the earthly realm, is to embody an energy that needs to be manifested in humanity.

It is an act of love and service to humanity that these angelic beings take on this mission.  The celestial beings that focus on a specific and particular energy are often called Devas since the choice to embody a specific energy is a mysterious part of how the angelic realm (a realm of pure energy) works to create energy and influence matter.

The heavenly realm reflects Divine Will at the source of all creation.  The heavenly hosts have an opportunity to serve as the messengers to help with the manifestations of Divine Light and Divine Love that it is the Will of God to provide for humanity.

This choice is one of great service and great sacrifice for an angel whose substance is pure Light and pure Love.  To choose to embody a particular energy requires the angel moving from what is unlimited by either time or space to a specific focus.  This is, by definition contained and, therefore, limited.  It is a sacrifice fueled by Divine Love and empowered by Divine Will.  It is the work for which the angels were created, so it is simultaneously their burden and their joy.

Angels are spirits, flames of fire; they are higher than man, they have wider connections.
         – Matthew Simpson

This inner working of the angelic kingdom is not something that is explored and expressed very often.  The mechanism is the same as what is manifested for an angel to become an individualized guardian angel.  That is a powerful and personalized service.  This is different in a subtle way because it is more impersonal.

The transition to becoming available to the needs of humankind is a somewhat different service for an angel as their influence is more generalized and I imagine may be less rewarding since the result is more general and diffused.

For the angels, infused with Divine Love and directed only by Divine Will, there is a willingness to serve the Lord of creation to a task trusting in Divine Wisdom.  This need of humanity or a human individual becomes the life work and the life purpose of that angelic expression. 

As the veils between the planes of the angelic realm are thinning, more and more awareness of angelic presence is coming into human consciousness.  Angels are coming into a greater understanding of the human experience, as humans are increasing their knowledge and awareness of the angelic realm.

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.
       – Saint Francis de Sales

This is a dynamic transition in the overall Divine plan of evolution.  Human consciousness is evolutionary.  Angelic consciousness is in-volutionary.  What all of this means, especially in this amazing transformation that is being revealed in this time of change is just now beginning to be revealed.

More and more individuals are becoming conscious of angelic beings and their presence and influence on human experience.  Angels are being called upon more and more with the asking for help and guidance through the extensive use of angel cards and the invocation of angelic presence in prayers, there is a response of love and compassion.

This response is wider than just a response from your Guardian Angel.  The heavenly hosts are hearing and responding to the invitation from the human hearts for greater companionship.

Since the essence of angels is composed of Love, this increased invitation and invocation of humanity for the presence of angels increases the awareness of the blending of Divine Love with the human experience.

This building of an energetic bridge from the angelic kingdom to the human material world has a profound influence.  Since your Soul is composed of the same substance as the angels and is known as your solar angel, this calling forth of the presence of angels builds more and more energetic etheric substance along the rainbow bridge.  This not only helps and enhances the ability of angels to respond to your call but forges a pathway along what is known as the Antahkarana (the rainbow bridge) for you to have a greater conscious awareness of the wisdom, the Love and the Power of your Soul.

This greater awareness and greater merging of angelic presence open the human consciousness to a vast world that lies beyond the limitations and restrictions of the material world.  Learning to listen to the soft, gentle promptings of your Soul opens you to a greater perspective of what is real.

Imagination is a gift of your higher mind and is powerful and dynamic.  It fuels your understanding and appreciation of a reality that lies beyond the five senses of matter.

Intuition, empathy, and telepathy all exist in this space beyond the limitations of your five senses.  Learning to sense, to hear, to see and to feel these subtle energies are a part of claiming enlightened awareness.

The essence of life is beyond matter.  Love, joy, peace are all real powers that have a profound impact upon and influence in your life.  Angel’s help these subtle energies manifest in a way that can be more easily experienced by your human mind and sensed emotionally.

At times, great angels choose to come to earth and bring with them specific energies that humanity needs.  This is for these presences an act of Love and an act of service, for with their descent to earth and the material world, they become a source of Divine Love and amazing grace as an active force to manifest God’s overall plan on earth.

These great angels are aligned with Divine Will and Divine Love by their very nature.  They serve as God’s emissaries.  The individual energies that they embody and deliver to humanity can become known to you through revelation in meditation.

Angels offer the energies that they have been charged to bring into human awareness in a subtle way that relies upon those who reach out to experience their gifts of the spirit, like telepathy and imagination.  A part of the expanding of your consciousness to listen with your heart to the whisper of their energetic impression, which is what brings about the healing they bring and the help they offer to humankind.

This blending and opening from the angelic realm to human consciousness is a special blessing.  Many of the great Devas and Angels who appear to help humanity are emissaries of the Divine Mother, the female part of the heart of God and are responding to the prayers of humanity.

These great presences can be touched in meditation and may provide healing or help in response to humankind’s needs.   They are a part of the energetic interaction of heaven and earth, God and man, the world of the visible and the invisible.

In times of exalted meditation, they may reveal to you their name or their purpose and, when that happens, that is an invitation for you to invite and invoke the extraordinary energy they bring into your own life for your benefit and blessing.

Their presence, especially when revealed in meditation can have not only significant healing power but can help bring into manifestation and conscious awareness energies that can help humanity face times of great challenge.

Because these great Angels and Devas are of the substance of divine love, they manifest as spirits who are richly imbued with the essence that they are charged to help bring into manifestation.

When their name and purpose are revealed, you are invited to tap into that energy.

To empower you to receive these angelic presences in meditation I am naming a few who have been shown to me in meditation that you can call upon and connect with:

The Spirit of Perpetual Joy (is a vast and powerful angel)

The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium

The Goddess of Grace

The Spirit of Compassionate Forgiveness

These great Angels have opened their presence so you can experience the blessings that they have chosen to embody for humanity.

Meditation on Angelic Presence

Meditation on Angelic Presence

Read about The Angel of Perpetual Joy by Genevieve Gerard

To invite angelic presences through meditation, I encourage you to enter into a receptive and meditative state.  To prepare for receiving her angelic presence, I advise you to have at hand your journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive.

There is great power in knowing the name of the Angel whose energy you wish to invoke.  As you call upon her, you are issuing an invitation.

Consciously invoke and invite your Soul to be your guide.

To enter into this meditative experience suspend all judgment as you:

    Calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the light.

    Listen into the silence with your inner ear.  Open your heart to the presence of Divine Love as it fills you and sustains you.

    Align with the Light of your Soul.

Identify with the Light, Love and Power of your Soul by affirming:

I am my Soul, I am One with my Soul.

Then invite into your conscious awareness the healing power, loving presence and transforming joy of the Angel whose blessing you need.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

 

Imagine your Soul in the realm of Angels as a radiating golden light 3-to-6 feet above your head.

See your chakras open and receptive from the top of your head (your crown chakra.)

Integrating your crown chakra with your Ajna center and the Alta Major center located at the top of your spine.

Then, using your imagination and your intention visualize this energy of light and love and power moving down your central energy channel (2-3 inches) behind your physical spine.

As the energy descends like a golden substance through all of your chakras, it attunes and aligns them for health and vitality.

You may become aware of a significant expansion of your heart energy.

You may feel a calming and balancing in your solar plexus.

Let this healing energy descend through your sacral center balancing as it descends to the base of your spine, your root chakra.

Breathing quietly and calmly letting this energy circulate and then rise and return to the point of light 3-to-6 feet above your head that represents the light of your Soul.

Let the energy circulate freely under the direction of your Soul and the guidance of The Spirit of Perpetual Joy (or whichever angelic presence you have invoked.)

Sense the Angel and identify with it.  Let its love and joy flow over you.

When the energy circulation feels complete, sit quietly and receptively, pondering and recording the impressions you have received.

Most People Believe In Guardian Angels

Most People Believe In Angels

Read the article, "Most People Believe In Guardian Angels" by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels

Those who cannot quite seem to believe in angels want to believe.

It is certainly comforting and reassuring to think that as God watches over us through all of our challenges in life, that there are messengers and emissaries of the Divine to help and guide us (the late Latin meaning of angelus is “messenger of God”.)

The best-known, and most often considered angelic presence, is your guardian angel.

As I wrote in, Meeting Your Guardian Angel,” there is a special relationship between your Soul, which resides in the 5th kingdom, and the kingdom of the angelic realm.

Today, I would like you to consider and explore the presence and purpose of what I call Guiding Angels.

The presence of guiding angels in your life is more subtle and less dramatic than your guardian angel. Guardian Angels have an angelic commitment to your Soul and your life that is in place throughout the whole of your life. Whereas, guiding angels have a role that engages with a variety of individuals throughout a variety of life circumstances. Because of this, guiding angels have a greater perspective on the human experience that helps them appreciate and understand the subtle factors of what may concern you.

Since angels are beings of pure energy and light, they are not a part of the world of substance, form and matter. Their nature is different from that of a human being. They are created in the substance of Divine Love, and all their life force and interaction with the human kingdom is colored by and influenced by that.

There are changes happening in the world that have thinned the veil between the human kingdom and the angelic kingdom. This thinning permits a greater ease of communication and awareness of angels. This awareness is a profound change and provides to the human experience resources and support that are beyond the five senses.

Guiding Angels have chosen to provide guidance to human beings through their ability to bridge Divine Love and Wisdom. These connections with and understanding of human life events and challenges are beneficial to a Guiding Angels evolutionary life experience, so it is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Angels Are Watching Over Us

These angels in the angelic kingdom choose to observe your life and provide the support of their presence and guidance especially in times of a particular challenge or difficulty. Their commitment to you is temporary, unlike the commitment of your Guardian Angel. These angels come and go taking what they have learned in their experience with you to help others. In this way, their perspective serves as a bridge from the heavenly to the human world.

To touch the realm of angels and to call upon and use their support in your daily life requires some shifts in your consciousness and understanding. The rules are different in the realm in which angels live. Angels have their evolutionary path and connection with and communication with the human world is as unique and different for them as communing with Angels is for you.

Just as you are learning to recognize what the touch of an angel feels like, so they are learning how to make their presence known to you.
      – Genevieve Gerard

Tips to Hearing the Whisper of a Guiding Angel

There are certain ways that angels have made their presence known throughout the history of the world and these are still in use today. However, as the separation between these two worlds is narrowing, new ways of communicating their presence are emerging. The revelations that communication between these two realities brings is emerging as a key element of increasing the awareness of your Soul’s role in your life.

When you open your heart and your mind to the active relationship with your Soul, through meditation or prayer, you reveal the presence and communion with angels as an added benefit. For this reason, it is good to begin to discriminate and understand some of the ways that angels make their presence known to you.

Communication with the angelic realm is a still and quiet whisper through a telepathic connection. It is more sensing than hearing, more of an impression. To hear the whispering guidance of an angel is truly a blessing. Realize though that it is subtle and different. It comes with absolutely no demands, requirements, expectations or attachment to the outcome. In this way, it is a unique relationship. The only purpose is the greater good in your life.

Expanding your consciousness and listening to the whisper of your guiding angel, enables you to explore new ways of being that are more congruent with the wisdom and perspective of your Higher Self. Guiding angels provide this gentle nudge from the realm of spirit.

This angelic communication leaves a sense of being loved so deeply and unconditionally that it can only be understood in the heart. Love, joy, and peace are the residuals of guiding angels transforming touch.

I suggest that you set aside some time for prayer and meditation to invoke and invite the presence of your guiding Angels.

Since the dawn of creation, people have used rituals to call upon the presence of angels. A ritual both helps you to calm your mind of the fears and chattering that can drown out the still silent whisper of your angel’s voice.

To create a call to the Angels to provide you help and guidance, bring your mind to a point of calm, open your heart to receive love, and be quiet with an open receptivity to the thoughts and impression of your Soul to guide you in your life.

Many people who regularly meditate have a special place that they use. It may be a special chair or a special view. Some have candles or have designated particular incense that helps them calm their mind and open their heart as they invite the Light of their Soul.

There are as many ways to create a sacred space as there are people on earth. None of them is wrong. The intention that goes into the creation of sacred space is a part of the empowerment. That intention helps your energy, whether, through prayer or meditation, invocation or affirmation connect you with your Higher Self and the angelic world. Ponder on this.

If you create such a sacred space for yourself, I always suggest that you have a journal in easy reach to record the promptings and insights you receive.

Throughout the ages, special chapels in churches have been used for meditation, prayer and the communion with your Soul and Angels. If you use one of these sacred spaces, I also suggest you bring your journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive. The whispering of angels or the silent prompting of your Soul can all too easily be drowned out by the noise of life, so what your record in these special times is of special import and value.

Most important, in this sacred time, I open my mind and my heart to receive the guidance of my angels. I look to the wisdom of my Soul to clarify my choices and inspire my thinking that I may be an instrument of Divine Love for the aid and service to the world.

I also give thanks for the blessings I am about to receive. I welcome my guiding angels and appreciate their presence in my life.

Finally know that your prayers, your meditation and your invocation help to bring the realm of the angelic closer to the world of matter.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Angels Are Among Us

Angels Are Among Us

Read Angels Are Among Us by Genevieve Gerard

This article is a part of my on-going series on Angels.

How the visible world co-exists with and connects with the invisible world is a great mystery.

There remains among most of us a sweet residual memory of an awareness of the presence of the angelic realm from a time of innocence and acceptance in our childhood when the realm of angels and devas was open to our inner sight.

You may remember this time. You may be one of the rare people who kept this vision open in spite of the input and insistence of those who only value what was material and tangible as real.

You may remember being ridiculed or disapproval as you insisted that this world you could see with your etheric vision was real.

Gradually, you may have learned to accept the definitions and limitations that the world around you defined as real.

If you are one of the rare and special individuals, who clung to a sense of truth and knowing about the nature of what is real, in spite of your reality not receiving the confirmation of those around you, this post is especially for you.

It is a part of the amazing hubris of the human experience to only acknowledge and value what can be experienced, touched and felt through the senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste or smell.

To deny the reality that anything exists beyond the accepted ways of sensing or experiencing the world is an unnecessary limitation. It confines and entraps you to an awareness that constricts, rather than opens and expands, your reality to the amazing miracle that is all of life and all of creation.

Life, and indeed consciousness, is not limited and confined by what is material in the world. To begin to understand this and expand your awareness to feel and explore energy and consciousness beyond the limitation of matter opens your mind.

To think that matter is the only thing that is real denies and confines truth. The fact is, you don’t know, what you don’t know.

It is an important step in consciousness to begin to understand the immense scope of what is real in this vast and amazing multifaceted adventure we know as life.
        – Genevieve Gerard

To begin to acknowledge that both what is composed of spirit is real and simply obeys different universal laws than the laws that govern matter, opens your heart and your mind to an awareness that is even more amazing and miraculous than you have ever imagined.

Physics in its quest for understanding the nature of what is real is just beginning to explore reality in ways that demonstrate that the world is more mysterious and magical that we have ever imagined.

I’m a big believer in quantum physics, which says that the universe is more incredible and mysterious than any of us can imagine, which is my way of saying, ‘Anything is possible, including angels.’
        – Caroline Leavitt

The knowledge of the subtle world is just beginning to be explored and explained by the scientific world. Much of what has been taught in the Ageless Wisdom, or has been revealed in spiritual teachings of the Bible, are just beginning to be explained or understood.

Physics and science has the ability to measure increasingly more refined subtle energies, which unveils a world that is much more diverse and amazing than has been imagined.

The nature of energy, the nature of consciousness, how thought and other invisible forces impact the material world, are all revealing concepts that are changing our understanding of life.

For those for whom the only reality is scientific proof, what is being revealed through quantum physics and especially the groundbreaking field of noetic science, requires opening and expanding the understanding of what is real.

Concepts such as the Holographic Universe and the revelation that space can be inter-permeable, as well as new revelations about the nature of subatomic particles, are mind expanding and awareness enhancing.

Angels Are . . .

In light of these revelations, we can begin to understand how angels can be among us and have always been among us.

Most people believe that there are angels. I think most people want to believe that angels observe our human experience and can at times provide assistance. The concept of a guardian angel appeals to most people. Throughout literature, there have been many stories told of angels appearing in one’s life, often as messengers from God.

That angels can have a message that is personal and revealing is certainly behind the popularity of Angel cards. That angels are still the messengers of God, aware of a willingness to provide assistance, is a very comforting and appealing concept.

This leads to wondering how the angelic or spiritual realm can connect with and influence the world of dense matter or more significantly come into your awareness.

It seems a first step is to understand that matter must obey the rules of matter, but that there is that which is not matter and therefore functions by different rules. The inter-penetrable nature of space demonstrated through particle physics provides a hint that is most likely beyond the understanding of most people.

Luckily, your consciousness is not limited by your ability to understand these different realms, nor is the truth or nature of the realm of spirit limited by your understanding. Your consciousness can travel freely from the world of matter into the realm of spirit. This you can do through meditation. This you can do by deep pondering in nature.

Open yourself to an encounter with heaven, be as a little child. Release your desire to the winds of the universe. Trust your angels to catch your wish and bring it to you in a delightfully surprising way.
        – Doreen Virtue

People often find it easier to sense and touch the spirit world when they are out in nature. The intermingled interaction between spirit and matter is more visible when the bombarding of the physical senses becomes less intense. When you are in nature the presence of the world of spirit blends with the presence of life itself.

Away from the noise and bustle of cities and stress, in the quiet and amidst the teaming of the life force of nature, is an excellent opportunity to renew and refine your ability to commune with and open your awareness to, the rich energy of the world of spirit.

In order to experience the world of spirit it is helpful to have some understanding of the part of creation that not only co-exists with our human life experience but also co-creates in its own realm under its own Divine direction in harmony and cooperation with the world of matter.

To understand that the realm of angels is different from the world of tangible substance and matter does not make one realm real and the other unreal. It does mean however that they operate within distinctive parameters. They serve different purposes and functions in the world. They are experienced through a distinctive sense that is more attuned to subtle and etheric energy, than the more dense matter that is perceived through the senses of sight, sound, touch taste, and smell.

Angels have long been presences in many of the world’s great Cathedrals. There they have an almost tangible feel that supports the bridging of the awareness of spirit requested by human petitioners.

It is believed by many who receive impressions from the angelic realm that this impregnating of the world’s great Cathedrals is an act of service by the angels so that humans may have an experience of their Soul, which resides in the realm of the angelic. Their presence serves as a conduit to a greater experience of your Soul, thus making it easier to be open to the energy of the world of Spirit.

I believe angels are always among us and we can feel their presence. We can open our hearts and our minds to the soft gentle voice of their nature by invitation and invocation in meditation when we have the intention to experience the world that is not made of matter, yet is no less real.

The Nature of Angels

It is important to understand some essential elements of the nature of angels. Angels are beings who live and move and have their being in a way that is unique to them and different from the human evolutionary experience. Their being resides on a different plane of existence.

The essence of Divine Love weaves the fabric of their life. That is why the sensing or appearance of angels is usually associated with a profound sense of being loved. It also explains why throughout time most who have written of angels have described them as residents of heaven.

The realm of the invisible, that is the realm of angels, is also the realm of your Soul. Your Soul, your guardian angel, and a mystical angel known as the Angel of the Presence are all a dynamic part of your human evolution that is a part of this invisible realm of being.

This awareness may shift your understanding of the phrase oft-touted:

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
        – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Think about that possibility and consider what implications that would have in your life. Ponder on this.

You are a spark of Divine Light. You were created in the image of the creator. These are deep truths and deep mysteries that speak to a sense of knowing that defies logic. You are an eternal being who has entered into matter for a span of measured time out of eternity.

You don’t just have a Soul; your Soul is the essence of your being. You have a physical body, emotional body, a mind, and personality but these are under the influence of your Soul, which is the eternal spark of Divinity that defines you.

What you can touch, see, feel, taste or smell all exists in the world of matter. What you can sense beyond the 5 senses of matter comes to you through the gifts of the higher mind, intuition and sensing and impressions of your Soul.

To open your awareness and your ability to touch the reality of this realm of consciousness you need to utilize invitation and invocation to make it accessible to your conscious mind while you sit quietly in the stillness.

Meditate to Invite Angels to Appear

I have found that meditation can be the doorway to experiencing these subtle energies, so I have created a meditation just for you to invite angels into your life.

Before you begin this meditation, you might wish to have a journal and pen at hand so that you can record and capture whatever insights, guidance or impressions you receive.

To begin a meditation to connect with and commune with Angels it is important to first quiet your mind of the constant chatter that masks your ability to hear the promptings in the silence, the still quiet voice of the Soul and of angelic presences.

As much as you are able, suspend thought and judgment as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

As you sit quietly and prepare to listen, not with your ears but with your inner ear and to see not with your eyes but with your inner sight, let your mind be open and receptive.

Then issue an Angel invocation and invitation by saying in your heart and mind:

Angels of Light, Angels of Love, Angels of God, I invite you to come into my presence and reveal to me any messages, thoughts or impressions that can help me at this time in my life.

I open my mind to receive any thoughts or impressions that will guide me in my heartfelt desire to live a better life.

For the gift of your guidance, I give thanks. For the blessing that you have come to my awareness at my invitation and invocation, I give thanks.

Now, having issued the invitation sit quietly and receptively for about 5-10 minutes.

Record in your journal any thoughts or impressions you might have. Once you feel the connection to the angelic presences, you can offer up a specific issue or challenge about which you need help and clarity.

Remain quiet and receptive, observing.

This time of communing will begin to fade.

Before you return to your daily life, express your gratitude for this quiet time and any clarity or understanding you may have received.

Carry with you the peace, the love and the joyful sense of communion you may have touched in this meditation.

I invite you and encourage you to open your heart and your mind to the presence of angels in your life. Connecting with your Soul is a portal to consciousness of the world of angels and the Divine that can have impact and influence on your life.

The guidance, the wisdom, the love and the joy that are available through expanding your awareness is empowering and amazing.

When you open your heart, and your mind to experience and enjoy the beauty and blessings of your life on all levels of your being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, the miracle of life will be revealed. Joy and love will fill your life. This love and this joy are your birthright and are available to you when you open up to the belief that angels are among us. Celebrate!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Angels Watching Over Me

Angels Watching Over Me

Open and Invite Your Angels To Watch Over You

“All night, all day, angels watching over me Dear Lord.”

So go the words of an old spiritual.

As I was meditating and pondering the message for this Serenity Sunday post, the words of this song filled me with a sense of joy and a feeling of being both loved and protected.

That there are angels watching over me, night and day was, and is, comforting and reassuring. Therefore, I decided to make this part of my ongoing series of articles about angels.

Angels are a dynamic and powerful Presence in the world. Just because their substance is not of the same essence as matter does not make them any less real. I believe Angels are real. What do you believe? Read on and maybe you will believe.

It is a tradition that since ancient times Angels have served as messengers of Divine Guidance. They reside on the same plane of energy as Devas and your Soul and are a manifestation of Divine Purpose, Divine Love, and Divine Will. They serve as a bridge between humanity and Divinity.

What I love is that Angelic messages can cross the veil to be understood by humankind in special situations. The protection of angels and the quiet guidance and prompting of angels can be felt in the stillness of your intuition or in insights that accompany the observation of life around you.

This tradition has been reaffirmed and enhanced through a series of Divination and daily guidance cards created by Doreen Virtue. Many use these beautiful cards to tune into angelic guidance by using the symbols on these cards.

To connect with your angels and effectively use angel cards you first must open your mind and your heart to the Presence of your own Soul and call upon the Presence of the angels and request their assistance. Any form of using cards to clarify your life, such as angel cards, or any other symbolic cards such as Tarot cards, are a way of connecting with your Higher Self and because of this, is within the control and influence of your Soul. This is important to understand and ponder on.

Make friends with the angels, who, though invisible, are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all of your temporal and spiritual affairs.
        – Saint Francis de Sales

It is your Soul that has the insight and wisdom to guide you as you shuffle and move the cards around. Your Higher Self knows the meaning of the cards, with all of the significance of the placement of their symbols, and can provide insight and a greater understanding of dynamics and challenges you are facing in your life. I find it a wonderful way to clarify and understand more about your life.

The famous psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung explained this as it relates to all of the techniques and tools of divination. Jung believed that our journey of transformation, which he called individuation, is at the mystical heart of all religions. It is a journey to meet the Self and at the same time to meet the Divine.

Understanding the guidance potential, in terms of being available from my Soul, has always made sense to me. Jung included in his theory, I Ching, Tarot, Runes and although Angel cards are a newer manifestation of a portal into higher understanding I am sure that the principle is the same.

Divination as a way of trying to explain and understand the forces that are surrounding you in life, are as ancient and diverse as life itself. The method being used, when understood in this context, is less significant than the process of invoking, inviting and considering the guidance and the wisdom of your Higher Self, your Soul.

Somehow, the symbols, most of which are archetypal, make it easier to consider the suggestions. Symbols speak to both your intuitive mind and your logical mind.

It is interesting to observe that the desire for divine guidance goes back to very ancient times and throughout history ranging from as diverse ways as animal entrails, reading tea leaves or coffee grounds to more traditional forms such as the I Ching which includes the time of Confucius (551–479 BC) or the Tarot which is recorded as a method since the 14th century.

It seems the urge to seek guidance and clarification about what is happening in your life or what forces are shaping events, is part of human nature. However, it is significant to both understand and acknowledge that the very genesis of the word implies that the source of the guidance being sought is Divine. Thus, the intention and connection with your Soul, when seeking clarity and guidance, is what makes the insight most effective.

To open your self to the direction, the wisdom and the guidance of your Soul you need only to invite and invoke the Soul. Your Soul is an integral part of you and is available to your conscious mind when you turn your attention to it. You can do this consciously, when shuffling and manipulating the tools of any divination method, while thinking as clearly as you are able about what you wish to understand in your life.

The more clearly your question is framed, and as much as you can calm your mind and control your mind chatter and amorphous fears, the more clear and helpful the guidance will be. That makes your time with the divination tools a form of meditation and an impetus for aligning with and opening to the guidance and wisdom of your Soul. In meditation, the ability to calm your mind and be open to the promptings of your Soul is always desirable.

Let the desire for clarity and guidance be a stimulus for you in honing your skills. Any way you can gain mastery over what many have traditionally called the “monkey mind” and gain mastery over your fears, is of benefit to you. Learning to calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light can be a portal to the wisdom and guidance of your Higher Self.

Some use angel cards, tarot cards or even the I Ching as a way to be receptive and listen to the promptings of their Soul. What is most important is not the tool or technique you use to connect with and be receptive to the wisdom and guidance of your Soul, but that you make the time and open yourself to that dynamic and transforming connection.

Meditation, prayer, and journal writing are all valuable ways that you can invoke and invite the wisdom and Presence of your Soul.

Although Angel Cards are newer tools than the more ancient techniques, many have found them a way to be open to the presence and urging of Angels in your life. As the words of the old song imply (“All night, all day, angels watching over me Dear Lord.”) angels are always available and when called upon can be a protection and guiding light in your life.

To open to the guidance and wisdom of your Soul when using the tools or techniques of divination I suggest that you consciously affirm that the wisdom and insight you are seeking is from your Soul. Then, consciously invoke and invite your Soul’s presence to guide and direct you.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

 

You might find it helpful to visualize your Soul as a radiant light 3 to 6 feet above your head and imagine that from that point love, wisdom and guidance are stimulating your intuition and insight.

Then be quiet and receptive to the promptings of your Soul. Realize that the language used in this kind of communication may well be symbolic, so interpretation of the symbols is often where the art lies. Listening and opening to the prompting and guidance of your Soul and your angels can be very revealing.

Your Soul has always been, and will always be, an integral part of who and what you are. Your angels, particularly your guardian angel, but also varieties of angelic presences, are aligned with and supportive to you when you invoke and invite the invisible into your awareness.

To see an angel, you must see another’s soul.
To feel an angel, you must touch another’s heart.
To hear an angel you must listen to both.
        – Author Unknown

It may be a prompting or a flash of insight or intuition. It could be a clear understanding of events or circumstances that you did not understand before. Trust yourself. Trust your intuition and incorporate and consider the different perspectives you can now see and touch.

Life is much more varied and diverse than just what we experience through the 5 senses. Open your awareness to what you can feel and sense in the subtle energies that surround you. There is all around you mystery and delight that is beyond the knowledge of your physical awareness into the realm of subtle energies. These impact and influence your life and your world without your conscious understanding or acknowledgment.

Open yourself to be the fullness of the amazing miracle of what it means to be a human being. One who has a body, but is more than a body; which experiences emotions, but is so much more diverse than what your feel; who has a mind whose thoughts have the powerful energy to join with creation as a co-creator. By opening to the realm of the Soul and the world of angels, you are able to experience a reality that incorporates so much more.

Expand your mind, open your heart and invite into your awareness the world of light that the darkness obscures. It is real. From this comes a greater expansion of what life can be. It is available for you, to you, when you open your awareness.

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can,
as a way of thanking God
for the help your angel has given you.
        – Eileen Elias Freeman

Open your awareness to the Presence of your Soul and the Presence of Angels all around you. Life is richer and more profound than the world experienced only through the 5 senses.

Namaste,

Genevieve

How To Call Upon Angels For Help

How To Call Upon Angels For Help

Read How To Call Upon An Angel article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels.

Angels are all around us.

They are composed of pure energy and pure Light so you may go through your whole life and never be aware of their Presence.

You may have at times felt their presence.

You may have never wondered about angels at all. Since they are a part of the realm of what is to our physical eye invisible you could have completely rejected angels as being real at all.

For many people life is easier if they reject anything that cannot be experienced with their sense of touch, sight, smell, or sound. Of course, sensing or feeling is a part of our sensory awareness also but, not in the same category as the physical senses of the body.

If you are among those who have felt or sensed the presence of angels, there may be a great deal about the nature of angels that have never been explained. Even among those who believe in angels, there is a myriad of theories that may be presented as facts. The truth is that one of the limitations of being in a human experience right now is that there is a lot about angels that is kept behind the veil.

Yet, you may very well sense angelic presences as a part of your life experience. You may have felt their benevolence as something you could call upon for help or support in particularly challenging or troubling times in your life. That is certainly possible and among those who have called upon angels for help, protection or guidance many stories are told. Indeed, your experiences when you open to the angelic kingdom can add to the lore of angels when help is provided, and miracles happen.

How Can I Sense Angels

Angelic communication is a part of coming into contact and harmony with your Soul. Your Soul is the bridging part of your being that opens you beyond the limitations of your body. When you open your heart to love you expand your awareness.

By opening to the Presence of your Soul and by opening your heart to love you open your life to other subtle frequencies of reality that are beyond the restraints of dense matter. It is with this expanded awareness that you can commune with angels.

Opening your consciousness to your Soul opens you to a vast realm of life that exists beyond what is perceived by the five senses. It opens you into an expanded reality that incorporates miracles and expands your understanding of the nature of subtle energies. This realm of reality beyond the input of the five senses is very real. It is the reality of you as a Soul, having a human adventure. It is the reality of you as a child of God. It is the realm of which co-creation with the Divine happens. It is the realm inhabited by angels.

Open yourself to an encounter with heaven, be as a little child.
Release your desire to the winds of the universe.
Trust your angels to catch your wish and
bring it to you in a delightfully surprising way.
       – Doreen Virtue

What Are The Steps To Being Open To An Angel

Meditation is one of the key portals to this reality. Prayer also serves as a gateway. Understanding this merger of spiritual energy in a way that brings perception to the mind of reality beyond the five senses will expand your awareness. Ponder on this.

The principle of free will is an essential aspect of spiritual life. Therefore, invitation and invocation are necessary steps to experiencing your Soul, and communicate with and experiencing angels. The presence of your Soul, angelic presences, and even the direction of the Divine respond to invitation and invocation.

Free will is a universal law. It functions much like other universal laws and principles like the law of attraction, like the principle that energy follows thought and a variety of other so-called spiritual laws. These laws have been woven into the very substance of creation and must be adhered to by even the creator. This is why meditation and prayer are such important parts of opening your life to spiritual realities. When you meditate or pray you are inviting and invoking, thus making it possible for you to cross the veil and enter the angelic kingdom.

As I mentioned in my “Meeting You Guardian Angel” article, your personal Guardian Angel is committed to you, and therefore is the most accessible to you of the angels of the Angelic Kingdom. However, other angels remain close to human life, and human experiences that are charged with, and have taken responsibility for, interfacing with human lives. Those angels are most accessible to you when you call for help, guidance or Divine Intervention.

How To Call Upon An Angel

To call upon angels for help, guidance or Divine Intervention is a very specific type of inter-relationship with an angelic presence. It requires invocation and invitation. In most instances invocation and invitation come when you pray, asking for help. Since one of the primary functions of an angel is a messenger from God, many see asking for angelic assistance as a way of asking for God’s help. They are all on the same team.

When in response to your prayer you sense the presence of an angel, it is time to request help and support. Angels, especially those angels whose mission is to provide aid and support to humanity, often are more available in those places where people congregate to bridge the veil from matter to spirit. That is why churches and temples are often the easiest places to make contact with the angelic realm or for some, their own Soul. The aggregate energy that is formed from the years of human intention eases this communication between worlds.

The cathedrals of the world have long been a place where angels gather. The quest for access from the material to the spiritual has charged the energy in ways that can facilitate your request. For this reason, you might wish to go to a place of worship when you are calling for divine help. Space or distance do not limit angels, but the energetic pathways in these areas have been reinforced by others who have preceded you in asking for angelic or Divine help.

Invitation and Invocation Angelic Ritual

When inviting and invoking angels I have always liked the ritual of lighting a candle. To me, the golden white light of a candle is symbolic of the Light of my Soul. Before I seek communion with what is spiritual I invoke the words “Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart, Invite The Light.” You may have noticed that this is an injunction that I use to open the energy in almost all of my guided meditations.

Some have shared with me that they use this phrase and these world like a Mantra, especially in times of great need or stress.

The Mantram I shared in my article “Meeting Your Guardian Angel” remains one of my very favorite Mantras to invoke and invite angelic Presence. I will share it with you again here.

Say in your mind and heart this Mantra of Invitation.

Beloved Come

Infuse . . . Inflame . . . Instill . . .

Incorporate in living substance,

All Thy Will.

Then sit quietly and receptively in the silence allowing the time and space for angelic contact.

By this ritual, the lighting of a candle, calming your mind, opening your heart and inviting in the Light, then issuing the invitation with the Mantram, you have created a sacred space for angelic contact.

As always, I recommend that you have a journal and pen available to record any thoughts, insights or impressions you receive in the silence.

Please Note: When you request help from the angels be aware that there are angels all around you, but Divine intervention always is aligned with Divine Will and the greatest good. That perspective may not be in keeping with what you want, but is always for what is best for all who are concerned.

Open your awareness to the realm of angels and the guidance of your Soul to receive the blessings and benefits in your life of an expansion of your consciousness into the greater scope of reality. Let the love of the angels who have responded to your invitation enfold you and support you. Then express your gratitude to the angels and return to your daily life.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Meeting Your Guardian Angel

Meeting Your Guardian Angel

Read my Meeting Your Guardian Angel article by Genevieve Gerard

In the realm of the invisible, where your Soul resides there is a Presence that you can bring into your conscious awareness that is your Guardian Angel.

To begin to open your mind and your heart to a greater and more conscious awareness of the Presence of your Soul starts you on a journey of living within the full scope of your being with your Soul a part of your conscious everyday awareness.

One of the benefits and blessings that come with this relationship with your Soul is that you can begin to be aware of, and access more of, the invisible world that exists beyond the material world of spirit.

I think we all do have a guardian angel. I believe they work through us all the time, when we are thoughtful and good and kind to each other.
        – Roma Downey

Within the dominion of the Soul are the angelic beings that are, like your Soul, connected with and supportive of your life. Perhaps one of the most significant of these is your Guardian Angel.

You can connect with and develop a relationship with your Soul through Meditation by the act of invitation and invocation. You can also open your heart and your mind to the impressions and guidance of your Guardian Angel.

Meditation is the portal through which you can experience and discover a world more magical and fantastic than you had ever dared to dream. The nature of your Soul is Love and as you develop a conscious relationship with your Soul that Love and that Healing Presence becomes ever more available to your conscious mind and awareness.

This Love is Divine Love and is therefore unconditional. It rejoices in the good that you do with no requirement that you do good. It is available to you but makes absolutely no demands, and it gives, in response to each time you invite it through meditation, exactly what you are ready to receive, no more, no less.

The same is true of connecting to Guardian Angels.

The footprints of an Angel in your life are Love.
       – Genevieve Gerard

Your Guardian Angel made a commitment to you, to your life, and whether or not you ever choose to become aware of that Presence consciously or not, it is there for you.

In this way, your Soul Presence and your Guardian Angel are alike. Both are composed of the essence of Divine Love. Both Love you unconditionally. Both await in readiness and willingness your desire for relationship with absolutely no demand or requirement that you ever turn to them.

The full extent of this incredible nature of unconditional love is beyond the typical experience of our human consciousness. It reveals the truth that God is Love, and on some level may explain some of the mystery of how God demonstrates and expresses Love to us through the emissary of your Soul and your Guardian Angel.

So much of the true nature of the life of the Soul and the Presence of the Guardian Angel is a mystery because the concepts of eternal life and eternal commitments of Love are beyond what our human personality, ego, mind or even emotions can truly grasp.

However, when you open yourself, your mind and your heart to the experience of Divine Love, whether it is through prayer or meditation, the grace and the joy that accompanies that inflowing blessing can be amazing.

Just know that when you turn your attention to Divine Love it is available to you for the asking.

When you open to the Presence, whether it be to call upon your own Soul for greater relationship, insight or wisdom, or to call upon God in prayer or your own Guardian Angel, there is no wrong way to do it.

How To Meet Your Guardian Angel

All of the teachers and guides who have ever walked the earth in the annals of time can only share their wisdom and insight from the perspective of what worked for them or what was revealed to them. Although their teachings or my own can be used as a guide, this journey is unique to you.

Your Soul and your Guardian Angel are both deeply committed to you and your life experience so that you learn, grow and manifest the plan and purpose that guides all lives. That there are an overall plan and purpose of evolution is to me both comforting and inspiring. To call upon your Guardian Angel and your Soul to receive the wisdom, insight, and revelation to understand and support your manifestation and fulfillment of that purpose just makes sense. To leave such powerful and dynamic resources untapped does not.

My writings and my guided meditations provide you, to the best of my ability, an opening to these energies. However; the experience you get when you make the conscious choice to open yourself to your relationship with your Soul or your Guardian Angel is completely individual to you, and it is determined by your readiness and willingness to be receptive to it.

That said I will provide you with a simple technique to use to open the portal to meeting your Guardian Angel.

 

A Simple Technique to Meet Your Guardian Angel

As always, I remind you to Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart, and Invite the Light.

Sit quietly and receptively with the intention to come into conscious awareness of your Guardian Angel. It is always helpful in meditation to have your spine aligned and your feet firmly on the earth.

Bring your awareness to your heart and imagine a connection of Light from your heart to the top of your head (called your crown chakra.) Imagine that Light continuing to ascend to a radiant point of Light 3 to 6 feet above your physical head (which represents your Soul.)

Realize that by doing that simple visualization from your crown to the Light of your Soul you are building, with intention and etheric substance, a rainbow bridge to your Soul that is called the Antahkarana.

Then say in your mind and heart this
Mantra of Invitation:

Beloved Come

Infuse . . . Inflame . . . Instill . . .

Incorporate in living substance,

All Thy Will.

Then I recommend sitting quietly and receptively for the next 10 to 15 minutes. In that time if you are keeping a Spiritual Journal (as I recommend) you may wish to record the impressions and insights you receive.

Remember that communication with the Angelic realm and the Soul comes in the stillness.

An attitude of gratitude for what you have received is also always a good idea.

Once the time you have set aside for meditation has passed return to your daily life and agenda knowing you are enhancing and empowering your life by keeping this sacred time.

 

I know that your life will be blessed by this intention and invitation to Meet Your Guardian Angel. This ability is your birthright as a child of God.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
