Working With The Angels

I have worked with angels and spirit guides most of my life, and have discovered many lovely ways to receive guidance and support from these celestial beings. Although it may seem all too simple, all we really need to do is ask. Our guides and the angels need our consent to intercede on our behalf. The only exception to this I have ever experienced is emergency situations, when angels appear to rescue or protect us from imminent danger. But even in these cases, you often find that the rescued person said a prayer or two before the angels showed up.

The angels wish for us to seek their assistance in small or large matters, and they delight in helping us. We each have one or two guardian angels, who are with us from birth, but there are many other angels and archangels that support and guide us in different matetrs. We simply need to ask! The restrictions of time and space, as we know it in this physical world, does not apply to the angelic realm, so they can help us all at the same time and at any time.

One of my most memorable personal experiences with the angels was the time I engaged three contractors to do refurbishments at my home. I paid each of thm significant sums of money upfront to purchase the necessary materials, and so on. But as soon as they had the money they suddenly became impossible to reach! All three of them kept pushing forward the agreed dates to start and complete the work.

Rather than getting frustrated or upset, I immediately turned to Archangel Metatron, who can bend time and space, and Archangel Michael, who is our great protector. I asked them both to kindly exert their loving influence on the hearts of the contractors, and to give them a gentle, yet firm nudge to get started on the work. I then thanked the angels and blessed all that would be working on the projects.

The next day, all three contractors called and set up times that very week to start the work! In the end, everything was finished perfectly on time and with great care, and they were even some extras they included!

As a Reiki and energy healing practicioner, I used to do volunteer work with hospice patients. The patients and their family members were always so gracious and grateful, but they might hesitate to ask for something. I would always ask Archangel Raphael, the angel of healing, to go ahead of me, while I was driving to each patient’s house, and show me what that person might need most from me, in addition to the usual energy work I would be doing. I would then be shown what I could say or do to bring more comfort to them. Sometimes it was as simple as changing a light bulb for them, because there was no one else around to do it for them.

By the way, this is something you can do every day as part of your spiritual practice. On your drive to work, or when you first wake up, set your intentions for the day by sharing your expectations with the angels. Ask the angels to guide and protect you, smooth your path, make your way safe and show you the signs and synchronicities you may need to make the most of your day.

Another approach is to talk to the angels before you go to sleep. Share your cares and concerns with them, so you can rest easier. We often also receive messages and answers during our dreamtime, or a sign later in the week that gives us confirmation as to our next step.

I have an ‘angel box’ next to my bed, and sometimes I will write a little note regarding those things that I can’t foresee or control, or that I am very worried about, and end it with a thank you. I always feel so much better knowing that they are working on these concerns while I sleep, and they never fail to deliver on my behalf. We are truly privileged and blessed to have the angels by our side.

It is important to also remember that may of us are also here to help others as ‘earth angels.’ For many old souls it is a part of our soul purpose in this lifetime to serve humanity and lift up those we come in contact with, to lend a hand, to support each other, to send healing and prayers; and to listen and encourage. We have come here to bring more love and light into the world.
