Touched By The Extraordinary Blog

How many times have you heard someone say, “I was at my wit’s end and I asked my angels for help. Within moments, help arrived – and I could not believe what had just transpired!" In `1 my friend Rosalie shares her angel story of a gentle soul who appeared out of nowhere to comfort her following 9/11 – and who disappeared just as suddenly. There have been many who have written to me or whom I have interviewed who have shared their amazing stories of angels showing up in a moment of crisis, just after they have asked for help, enabling them to survive life-threatening or difficult situations in their lives. And the wonderful thing about angels is that they have the ability to take any form (person, insect, or animal) or create any set of circumstances to accomplish their intention (of assisting us in some way.)

For example, while I was recently being interviewed for an article about intuition for Health Magazine , the writer of the piece spoke to me of her friend in New York who, on the morning of September 11, 2001, was supposed to have attended a meeting at the World Trade Center. However, uncharacteristically, she awoke and felt that she should take the day off, rather than attend her meeting. The result, obviously, is that she is here to tell the story. Did she have an angel whispering in her ear, or to her soul? We will never know for sure. But it certainly felt to her that she had received some form of intuitive guidance, something for which she is eternally grateful.

The suggestions I offer here are what I have found to be effective. They also represent a synthesis of methods discussed by Robert Kirven, Doreen Virtue, White Eagle, Gary Quinn and others. To simplify the process, know that the first step to bringing your angels on board is to ask them for help. They are always present for you, especially your guardian angels. However, due to the Law of Free Will, they do await your request before jumping into your space to assist you..

Second, Shift to a higher vibration. This involves you practicing the breath and/or doing meditation. This takes daily practice in which you use your breath to quiet and center yourself and develop the ability to hear the wisdom of your soul and that of your angels in the midst of silence. Know that sleep and the period between sleep and awakening also provides time in which we often can respond to higher intuitive wisdom. Also, see and feel yourself a strong, loving, compassionate being. Remember, you attract that which you are vibrationally.

After you have asked, surrender your request to the Universe, God, Source, Buddha – or whoever is your higher power. Trust and expect that you will receive. Then wait to receive. Angels speak to us, as described earlier, either comforting and consoling us or calling us to take action in a variety of ways, including a small voice, intuitive nudges, a vision, the unexpected appearance of a person or material object, or a dream. If you receive something and are filled with doubts, ask for some time of validation. Also, know that you may have a sense of knowing what you need to know during, immediately after, or within a day or two of your breath and meditation work. Ultimately, you will experience, from the actions you take, feelings of greater peace, well-being and joyfulness, whether you are asking for yourself or for others.

White Eagle, in Walking with the Angels, encourages us to “develop the soul qualities of which the angels are composed…(p.15)) We, in other words, need to create vibrations within our own being which will be in harmony with those of our angels. Evidently, we need to recall the Law of Attraction. Even with angels, we will attract to us those who possess the qualities that we ourselves are. The more loving, healing, caring we are, the more we will attract angels of the same vibration. In White Eagle’s words, “… it takes an angel to recognize an angel. You attract to yourself that which you are yourself; and so you need to develop the necessary qualities within yourself.” (17.)

It has been my own experience that the easiest way to bring angels into your life, is to see them in your mind’s eye, around you, doing what you feel they are doing, and while seeing them, talk to them as well. Some might say that you are fabricating the whole thing – and that your angels are just a figment of your imagination. Well, given that we do create our own reality, they do have a point. However, by focusing on these angels with our heart filled with love, we are creating the vibrational energy needed to create such beings. And, if we are filling up with love and visualizing loving angels in our midst who wish to be available to assist us, then that is what we shall have! What we are really doing is calling our angles to action. They have actually been present, but, we are, for the first time, perhaps, conscious and aware of their presence. I have many times spoken to a specific angel or master and later had this confirmed unexpectedly by an intuitive friend, teacher or medium who had no idea of my conversation previous conversation with the being).

We would love to know your thoughts or share with others a favorite angel story of yours! Many thanks for taking the time to do this. Blessings, Susan

Angels may be the still, small voice you hear, the vision you see, the perfume or cologne you smell, your intuitive wisdom nudging you lovingly or a beautiful melody playing in your mind’s ear. They come in whatever shape or size they feel is necessary in order to have us listen to them. Angels have never been human beings. They vibrate at a much higher rate than physical beings. However, given that everything in the universe is energy which vibrates, we tend to attract angels to us who vibrate at a rate which is in sync with our own vibration. An important note: deceased loved ones, guides, masters, and other divine beings often do the work of angels, including providing us with needed messages, assistance, protection and, of course, an awareness that we are loved. Thus, angels rightfully take many forms.

White Eagle, my Guide who appeared to me in session several years ago, and whose teachings were recommended to me by renowned physician Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, believed that angels and man were linked with one another, especially because of our belief that we are all interconnected, our being open and our positive attitude concerning this. Again, Einstein, his colleagues and the yogis of 3500 years ago believed the same: that we are all connected, all light, and all one. Again, this reinforces the thought that we are never alone.

Previously, mention was made of a variety of stories shared with me which have been viewed as a ‘Hello, Goodbye, I love you and/or I will protect you.” In each of these situations, individuals have told me that they experienced a strong sense of a presence, heard an actual voice or actually saw a being – or the semblance of a being or person – that contributed to their feeling as though they were being watched over … perhaps by deceased loved ones or perhaps by an angel. Some have explained to me that they feel they are being embraced by angels, angels whose loving protection keeps them from harm’s way and whose guidance helps provide them with answers to what seem like impossible problematic situations. So, what do we know about our angels – and the work they do? Lots, actually.

Thanks to the determination of several gifted writers, authors, mediums and researchers, including Robert Kirven, Ph.D.(Angels in Action: What Swedenborg saw and Heard), White Eagle (Walking with the Angels), Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. (Healing with the Angels, Manifesting with the Angels) and Sophy Burnham (A Book of Angels), and Reverend Carrie Carter (Angel Vision), we know a good deal about angels. What they all share with us is that angels are everywhere and we all have at least one, some say two, guardian angels throughout our life time. Furthermore, angels are messengers, bringing us messages of hope, warning, comfort, joy, peace and love. They want for us to be joyful – and will do whatever is needed to achieve this.
