Asking Your Angels For Assistance

“You have four beautiful angels with you, and you aren’t even communicating with them!” These were the words of another psychic at a psychic fayre I was working at several years ago. I had never met him prior to this particular event, and he shouted those words at me as I was walking through the entrance towards my designated work table, to get ready to set up.

And he was so right. As much as I still vividly recalled my vision of angels when I was nine years old, and as much as I was using angel cards in my own readings, and constantly telling my client aware of the angels all around us, I hadn’t been speaking much with my own angelic team.

Most people never have the opportunity to see an angel, or simply do not look well enough to see them walking among us. This, however does not mean they don’t exist. Me, I’m one of the lucky few, not only have I seen an angel, I call her my best friend ~ Lori Corkum

The two of us subsequently became quite friendly, and he was the medium through whom my angels were telling me off in no uncertain terms. I was taught that our angels are there to assist us, and to offer us protection. However, they will not interfere with our free will and it’s said that they are really delighted when we do call upon them for assistance.

It was only shortly after my psychic friend berated me, that I invoked angelic assistance urgently. We’d recently rescued a kitten. She’d been very sickly and housebound for several weeks. The vet didn’t think she’d survive, but she beat the odds and once she was allowed out, she was ready to explore. Unfortunately, one of those initial exploratory ventures took her over our high wall, ducking under electric fencing and into the neighbor’s garden.

The next door property’s garden was in darkness during the owner’s absence. With ladder and torch, I could see that there was no ledge or tree on the other side of our high wall, which might give our kitten some leverage to find her way back. I kept on calling her, and she pathetically kept on meowing back at me.

I invoked the help of my angel posse. I recalled seeing them at nine years of age: about seven feet tall, clad in white, androgynous and spanning magnificent wings. I prayed for their assistance and handed my problem over to them, because I didn’t know what to do anymore.

Voila! Ten minutes later, our kitten literally popped back over the wall. Yes, she had a small burn mark on her nose from the electric fence, but she was fine and she never went over into that garden again.

At a later date, in daylight, from inside the neighbor’s garden, I scrutinized that wall for a ledge or point of leverage which could have helped our tiny cat get back over the wall that night, but there was nothing which could have helped her, so I know there had been some angelic intervention.

I never spoke about this little miracle until now. After all, would anybody believe me?

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone ~ George Elliot

With practice we are able to invoke the assistance of our angelic helpers quickly. My vision of angels may not necessarily be how you would see yours, but that’s okay. They will present themselves to you in your mind’s eye, just as they would want you to perceive them. We need to accept that they are willing and ready to help us.

You might choose to ask for help with some pressing matter, or for inspiration. I have often asked for protection from potential danger, and even asked the archangels for assistance in calling in a particular guardian angel I feel is working with me at that particular time.

How To Invoke Your Angels

Before you start, and time permitting, it helps to do a basic relaxation exercise. Close your eyes. Roll your head and shoulders around, and do some stretching. Take a few deep breaths, and relax.

When you are ready, speak or chant the following affirmations:

I envision Archangel Michael to my right, representing love and protection.

I envision Archangel Gabriel to my left, helping me to dissolve fear and doubt.

I envision Archangel Raphael behind me, giving me healing energy and strength.

I envision Archangel Uriel in front of me, helping me to concentrate and understand the motivation of others.

I envision Archangel Ariel above me for specific assistance, because I am invoking help with animals (Archangel Ariel oversees the protection and healing of animals and plants).

With these beautiful beings around me, I feel a strong circle of protection, and I feel the circle itself turning and spiraling to give a complete 360 degree of loving protection.

I thank each Archangel in turn, trusting, as always they have been right there when I needed them!
