motorway a junction early, on the approach to the roundabout the news on the radio came on - the junction that I would have taken had been closed due to an overturned articulated lorry and I would have had a long diversion! The angels had definitely guided me that night and from then on, my curiosity grew I wanted to know more about the angels and spirituality.
So what is Spirituality?
At the start of my journey, I would have answered something along the lines as follows:
Spirituality is about connecting with beings that have passed, angels and being offered guidance in daily life by tuning into the unique energies of a higher vibration.
We are a soul and our spirit is the energy that surrounds us and nourishes our soul. It is the god’s energy within us that is made up of many layers.
But I realised, Spirituality does not have a definitive answer as everyone is different and has a unique journey to follow.
That was then - now spirituality means so much more. Spirituality is you, the unique individuals that we all are. Being spiritual is becoming aware of you, away from the ego of the brain, working from the heart, connecting with our higher self and being completely in the now, where the past can no longer hurt us and the future is full of wonder and delight. There is no fear, only love. By being in the present moment, we instantly vibrate at a higher level and we are able to connect freely with the angels with clarity, as they are drawn to our love. Even when we begin the process of opening up, the angels know the love is there and waiting to come out in bloom to its fullest potential. By awakening the spirit within, you open up to accepting love in an unconditional capacity, love of everyone and most of all love of yourself. Every cell that creates the uniqueness that is you, with the love comes peace, joy and happiness - true happiness. True happiness comes from a state of being within, not from material possessions or the love of another.
In essence, spirituality is about unconditional love, where judgements and fear have no place to dominate our existence.
We become spiritual when we have found our true self, acceptance and bathe in the love of ourselves.
Take some time and ask yourself these questions, be completely honest with you answers as these are for you to evaluate where you are now on your life journey.
What does spirituality mean to you?
Do I have fears?
Do I recognise when to leave my fears behind?
What does love mean?
What is real love?
Have I experienced real love?
Do I judge people?
Do I hear voices in my head?
Do I follow my gut instinct?
How often has your gut instinct been correct?
So what are Angels?
Angels are heavenly beings that link our world with the spirit world. They work on the 5th plane of existence, the place of love and fear, good and bad, the plane that has high vibrational beings, gods and goddesses, angels, guardian angels, arch angels and our higher consciousness. We humans exist on the 3rd plane, a plane of illusion that creates reality.
Once you open up to working with the angels and your higher self, the messages that you get that you previously hadn’t noticed are remarkable. How often has a white feather fallen at your feet or landed beside you? Have you never wondered why it’s only white feathers!
Most birds that fly around my home or place of work are starlings, sparrows, magpies or crows (not many birds with white feathers) and why do they turn up in unexpected places and at times where you are looking for comfort and reassurance. I believe they are angels, letting us know they are there and can hear us.
There is a roundabout that I have to pass through on my way to and from work. Most times when I am at the roundabout, a white feather falls in front of the car but there are no birds flying about above for it to have fallen. It always makes me smile and feel grateful for all that I have in my life.
Angels are around us all the time and give us subtle messages like the feathers or music (when you turn the radio on at a specific song). These are just some of the ways they get your attention.
Anybody can work with the angels as they are only a thought away. Anytime you need help or encouragement, comfort or joy, then just ask them for some help. When you open up and accept the angels, it really is amazing what they can show you when you pay attention.
Ask the Angels simply by saying, Angels please help me with…………………………, thank you or Angels please guide me to…………………………………. Thank you
A friend that was new to working and communicating with the angels had a magical moment when her daughters came in from being outside playing and found a rose pink heart shaped quartz crystal, out in the cul-de-sac near a field where very few people walk. The girls gave her the crystal and this was confirmation to her the angels had provided the answer to what she was looking for at that time. This strengthened her belief in the angels. She also shared her knowledge of the angels with her children and one of her daughters asked her if she could talk to them too, “Of course” she said, “Just ask Archangel Michael to come and look after you”. As her daughter did so, she started to laugh and giggle as she could feel him tickle her ears, how amazing.
The angels are quite humorous too! Sometimes in our wee group, we can be in fits of laughter for no apparent reason! At the beginning of one meditation in particular, I remember bursting into fits of laughter. This had a knock on effect and all of us started to laugh - mainly laughing at me with my outburst - but it was good and it lightened the mood and reminded us all that we don’t need to be serious all the time.
Beliefs are something that will crop up and this is something you need to ask yourself, ‘What do I believe in?’ You do not have to belong to a religious group to enable you to have beliefs, whether it be god, Buddha, Shiva, Allah, angels, the universe, the divine or whatever.
What I discovered is that god is not a person or being, but the god from within, the god that is you, god is love. Finding that god within allows for you to have beliefs of your own and most importantly the strength and the courage to believe in yourself! When you believe in yourself, miracles will happen.
God for me is source of energy, the deep love that's inside us all.
As I connected with my god within, I had the help of the angels guiding me, people, items and situations came into my life at the right time to help teach me and show me what I needed to know. These were not mere coincidences, these were orchestrated from the divine, teaching me to trust and believe.
Initially I struggled with believing in the angels as I felt silly and I would argue with myself. At our wee circle, I used to struggle with the meditations at first, it was because I thought I was getting something until I realised it was my ego wanting it to be which gave me the sense of being stupid, but as the weeks went on, I could not deny the fact that I was feeling energy and beings around me. Archangel Michael was one angel I felt. For me, he appears as a blue light with a strong sense of strength and protection. When my father is around me I get a smell of tobacco smoke and I can feel the energy of him of what he was like when he was alive. Also when he is around I see butterflies. When I moved home, I had a butterfly appear in the kitchen and then at the new house a butterfly appeared again. Two in the one day is quiet something as you don’t see many of them about. Also, one of my spirit guides has a distinct smell of turmeric!
Now as my senses have grew I can see Archangel Michael as a flash of light particularly around someone who is needing to call upon him for strength and protection, or sometimes just to let me know he is there. After doing a meditation with my eldest son and we were talking about what he saw, he spoke of someone blue in colour and the name Michael. I knew instantly he was referring to Archangel Michael but I knew I had not mentioned him to my son. As I was telling my
