Guidance from your angels

Commune with Angels

To Commune with Angels

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 about. Within 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

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 time. The 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.

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.

Angels Watching Over Me

Angels Watching Over Me

“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
