Guardian Angels

We are not alone! This preceding statement is popular with fans of the X-Files show and those in search of UFO's but it also applies even more profoundly with the idea of angels. Angels have been discussed, observed, written about, and respected by mankind, and basically all religions and cultures since communication existed. From paintings to etchings in stone, to majestic sculptures of angels, humanity has always looked at these beings of light as a connection to their God source. In particular, and especially recently, there has been an attraction to create communication with these wonderful beings of light.

Even though various hierarchies of angels exist, with probably the most well known being the four Archangels (Gabriel, Uriel, Michael, and Raphael), I would like to focus in this writing on our guardian angels. These hold much personal attachment to me because of my ability to see them and connect people with them since the age of eight. Our guardian angel can be described as our official spiritual bodyguard. Right before our physical birth we all take the time to create a game plan of experiences which we feel will be essential in our development as a human being as well as a spiritual being. We create various tasks and set guidelines for things we feel will enrich our souls if accomplished throughout our upcoming lifetime. The problem is that once we enter into our physical and somewhat limited bodies, all this information gets pushed back into our subconscious and we basically have no real clue as to what our life mission is. This is where our guardian angel plays a major role. Once we set up our mission in spirit these angels overlook our chosen tasks and decide which person they feel they have enough experience in connection to our tasks to merge with and assist in these accomplishments.

Our guardian angel will never force anything upon us, we always have our free will. With unconditional love, they simply place people, situations, opportunities, and so on in our paths so we can experience what we decided was important in this journey we call life. Even if we decide not to follow the guidelines being set for us there is no lost of respect or love from them. To give you an example, let us say that one of your tasks or experiences, which you have chosen in this lifetime, is to be involved with healing as a medical doctor, but currently you are majoring in music. A possibility that can occur, with intervention from your angel, is that your best friend unfortunately becomes very ill. As your best friend struggles with this illness you become drawn into the pain, the sacrifices, the struggles and hardships of seeing the body so frail and yet fighting for survival. This entire process which lasted for several months, and whether your friend survives or doesn't, you realize or at least play with the idea that if you had been their doctor maybe you could have done something differently or better! After some time this idea becomes so profound that you decide to drop out of music school and enter the school of medicine. At this point your angel takes a big deep sigh of relief and give themselves a pat on the wings for getting you in touch with your chosen path.

The above example is just one of thousands of ways they try to intervene in our lives. Basically, their form of communication with us comes in various ways. A sense of knowing or hunch sometimes occurs where we feel we need to alter a decision, or we get a gut feeling something is about to happen is a common form. Dreams are a very strong vehicle of communication from our guardian angels as well as our loved ones who have passed on to the other side. That inner voice which so many times we ignore, thinking it is our own ego or subconscious is indeed words of guidance from our angels. Many have connected by using a form of automatic writing and allowing their conscious minds to merge with the energy of their guardian angel to write words of wisdom, caution, or insights for themselves or others. Meditation is an extremely powerful source of establishing communication with these wonderful helpers. Many children especially between the ages of three to eight are still very spiritually connected because of their recent arrival from the spirit state that they can see light beings including their guardian angels. I have worked with many of these enchanted children and can verify what their so called imaginary friend looks like, for I myself see their beauty and manifestation. As we grow older due to school, some religious obstacles, parents, and society we are programmed to let go of this innocence and therefore lose contact with our angel unless we feel a need as adults to bring back that wonderful connection

Our guardian angels will almost always be simply a beautiful being of love, not necessarily a family member, but just a confident helper who wishes to see us succeed in our lives. Working, communicating, and seeing thousands of these angels I can tell you they come in all sizes, shapes, and colors, and no, wings are not a must! Some of these guardian angels have lived many physical lives and eventually reached a level where there no longer was a need to incarnate to Earth but rather take their accomplished wisdom and decide to help one of us as our guardian angel. Others have never manifested in physical existence and simply choose to stay at this highly spiritual plateau and guide us on our journeys. Regardless of their origin, the love, which emits from their essence to us, is unlike anything we can imagine. They simply wish for us to know "We are not alone" and that opening to their love and guidance we can make our lives here on Earth a true journey of love, experiences, and positive existence for ourselves and those we come in contact with.
