 WAS IT AN ANGEL? It had been a difficult day. My youngest daughter had been sick for hours, and the sickness was continuing into the night. Just as my head hit the pillow it happened again. A weak little voice called for assistance and I wanted so badly to be there for her, but fatigue had taken its toll.
I made a ‘management’ decision. I would make her a bed on the bathroom floor with the theory that she might make it to the toilet, rather than being sick over yet another set of sheets. She settled down on the floor and drifted off to sleep. With relief I went back to bed and drifted off to sleep myself. Less than an hour later, the next call came.
As I dragged myself out of bed I yelled out in frustration, “If there is such a thing as guardian angels then you come and look after her--because I am too tired to do this any more!” I moaned! This was when I heard the music. I hadn’t expected an answer to my grumpy ravings, but there it was, as I stepped into the bathroom where my daughter lay. Where was this sound coming from? Perhaps there was an orchestra playing in the fields at the back of the house? I mused. I stepped into the bath and opened the window to stare out at the fields at the back of the house. I even stuck my head outside the window, but the music wasn’t coming from outside. I’d asked for angelic assistance and the music had begun to play. Was this the confirmation of the presence of a guardian angel that I’d rudely asked for?
I glanced down at my daughter to share the music, but she had drifted soundly off to sleep. She slept right through the night and although a little weak and hungry, was completely fine the following morning.
LOOKING BACK
Before I went to bed I made a few comments in the notebook that I keep by the bed. I felt sure that by the morning I would find it difficult to believe what had happened. Over the next few days I began to remember other things that had happened in my life. As a child I used to wake up and ‘see’ people in my room. I’d remembered another occasion when I was only five. I got into difficulty in the sea and a presence surrounded me and helped me back to shore. Were there other things I’d forgotten?
MOVING FORWARD
I began reading hundreds of books about angels! I spent hours on the internet looking for more information about guardian angels and archangels and then I began corresponding with people around the world. I set up my website and before long I was able to answer many questions that people had about these celestial beings.I’d read enough and I’d seen enough to believe that angels are real. More people are having angel experiences now than at any time since the renaissance period.
HOW DO YOU WORK WITH ANGELS?
Angels, it seems, are already working with us. It appears they always have. In these past years, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of letters from parents of psychic children. Many believe these children are a new race of spirits who have come to help us move through the next progression of development. These children have an easy ability to communicate with and see spirits and angels.
One mother wrote to tell me about her son, who at three years old began speaking to two spirits (or angels) who seemed to protect him. His mother recalls him getting into a fight with another boy at school and when struck, he drew back his fist to retaliate. One of the voices warned him that this might not be a good idea and he withdrew his fist. These inner voices or ‘intuition’ as some people call them, seem to guide and offer suggestions. The role of real angels in the traditional sense is to guide and protect. We’ve read the stories (in many religious scripts) and now we are living out the reality in modern life. More and more people talk to their angels.
TUNING IN
Mostly angel messages come as inspirational thoughts and ideas. Other help comes as ‘co-incidences,’ which follow and lead us to our needs and requests. Angels guide, but don’t tell us what to do. Their messages are encouraging and supportive.
There are no rules as long as you work with love and positive intent. Communication comes in meditations, dreams and visions.
Angels are associated with every task we perform and everything in our world. There are angels who help with planetary healing and angels who can help fix your dishwasher. The most well known of the archangels are Archangel Michael; the warrior angel, and the Archangel Gabriel, Mary’s messenger and the communication angel.
People in stressful situations or emergencies regularly call out for help from an unseen source. There are thousands of documented cases of people seeing, feeling or sensing angels in their time of need. The key is in the asking.
As human beings, we need to believe in something. Angels bridge the gap between our ultimate creator and our human souls. Angels are ready, willing and able to help us on our lifelong journey and all we have to do is ask them for their help.
