Health Advice and Information on Angel Healing Therapists that heal and deal using Angels Click apples Working with the Angels in our Sacred Healing Oasis. by Sean Bradley, The Barefoot Angel Man Our Reference Manual will hopefully engage you in searching for a clearer understanding of: How we perceive Angels. Who are they. What are they. Why are they here. How can we become tuned in to our Celestial friends. Discerning your Angel’s voice. Making a connection with our special Angel. Working with their healing energies Discerning their angelic messages for our journey as therapists The faiths of the 20th. century ; Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Maori, Shinto, Hindu and New Age religions all accept the reality of Angels and place a special importance on their presence. In the Old and New Testimonials of the Bible there are many references to the existence of Angels and their direct involvement with man in his quest for greatness or in his struggles to overcome adversity – perils – disaster. The dawn of a new millennium has illuminated our understanding of: Angelic involvement in our daily lives. Angelic visitation at a personal level. Angelic deliverance from adversity. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ANGELS The word angel comes from the Greek word ‘angelos’ meaning messenger. Angels are accepted in many of the main religions including Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Shinto. They all place a special importance on the presence of angels in their scriptures. I have also met people, who do not consider themselves religious at all, who believe they have had an encounter with an angel. Angels are beings of light. They do not have physical bodies like we do but they are capable of taking on human form if necessary. They can present themselves as male or female but in reality they are a perfect balance of both. There are angels for everything, birth, death, study and even things like parking the car. I believe we each have a guardian angel that stays with us for our whole lifetime. We can ask for angelic assistance with any problem we face or task we have to do. They are always there to comfort us when we are ill or just feeling down and unable to cope. Every request or prayer is answered without exception. Below are a few of the ways our angels can talk to us. Synchronicity Our attention is drawn to a book, film or person who can help us or we may ‘just happen’ to overhear a conversation which gives or helps us find the answer we need. We need to aware and watch for the ‘clues’. Dowsing You could use a pendulum to dowse for the answers. Before you begin ask the pendulum/dowser to show you a yes answer and then a no answer. With me, for yes the pendulum moves in a clockwise circular motion, and for no it goes back and forth or side to side. It can vary from person to person so take a little time to fund out what works for you. Remember to phrase your questions so they can be answered with a yes or a no. Automatic writing Invoke your Guardian and ask for their assistance. Write your question at the top of a piece of paper then relax and just let your hand go. Try to keep you mind clear and do not think about or judge what comes till you are finished. If you do not feel comfortable or you are receiving negative communication then stop immediately. Angel cards There are many beautiful sets of angel cards on the market at the moment. I particularly like the Mermaid and Dolphin cards by Doreen Virtue and her Messages from Your Angels cards. I find that cards are a bit like crystals they tend to choose us. See which ones speak to you. You can also contact them psychically. This is a skill that anyone can develop with a little practice. If you decide to look for a teacher to help you, yet again, choose intuitively. Your angel friends may manifest a white feather to show you that they have heard your call and are around you. I believe they can also take on the form of birds to show us they have heard us and to bring us comfort. I believe an angel in the form of a Robin visited me some years ago, while I worked in my garden. I was feeling very low at the time as I had been working hard and had many painful things going on in my life. I feel that it was my Guardian bringing me comfort and hope. SERAPHIM CALL Brilliant Seraphim I call to thee Circle round bring love to me. Mighty Cherubim guard my gate Remove from me sorrow and hate. Thrones stand firm, stable be Keep me steady on land or sea. I call Dominions, leadership true May I be fair in all I do. Circles of protection Powers form Help me weather every storm. Miraculous Virtues hover near Elementals energies I summon here. Principalities bring global reform Bless the world and each babe born. Glorious Archangels show me the way To bring peace and harmony every day. Guardian angel, Goddess might Bless me with your guiding light. Author Unknown What is an Angel ? Before we can begin to work with our Angel and they with us it is important that we fully understand what an Angel means to us. The word angel is though to be derived from the Greek word “ Angeloi” meaning Messenger. Angels are considered to be God’s messengers who respond in Love to God’s commands and obey Him 100% They are immoral beings made of ethereal matter and created by God but not eternal as He is.They have existed since the beginning of Creation. By their very make-up, Angels do not die as we do. Angels as created beings are not generally considered the souls of the departed faithful, but instead are known to be Guardians and guides of living souls on earth. Angels are Divine. They are also fallible creatures but their faithfulness to God as His special messengers of grace and support for His children ensure that they remain steadfast as His created beings. WHAT ANGELS LOOK LIKE Angels are composed of Radiant Light energies that help them to be recognised as unique beings not of this planet. Angels do not accept or seek worship of humans. Angels are alive and refreshing to behold. There is no fluster or excitement in their activity or movements. They are in truth, the ideal beings celebrated in mythology, who come from a perfect kingdom and who deserve our unstinting admiration and recognition. They are as real as the breath we breathe, though just as invisible. Their smile comes from their very souls, and with the smile shines forth a burst of colour, a combination of burnished gold and peach. Their smile radiates from their whole being and, if we are touched by it, you will know the kind of happiness that Angels know. Angels are largely unaware of humans unless the person enters their dominion with a sense of Reverence, Respect, Humility, Sincerity. So it is that if we enter nature reverently, Angels will recognise that we are worthy of their appreciation. I consider that the greatest benefit of seeing an Angel is to see one glorified being by remembering always the meaning of Beauty ; the Power of Love; and the Blessedness of Sincerity. ORDER OF ANGELIC BEINGS WATCHING OVER US. Research from around the world informs us that from the very beginning of time we have had celestial representation. Our ancestors have fuelled our imagination by telling us stories of happenings that inspired their lives and assured us that the Angels will continue to be there “watching over us.” Regrettably, the human race, as well as certain clerics, have difficulty understanding or comprehending the existence the existence of Angels. What we cannot see we have difficulty taking on board! However, there is well documented evidence to support the theory that Angels do exist and despite our somewhat negative approach, they continue to represent us in the celestial city, or better known as the heavens. There are three known orders of Angelic beings. However, a fourth order has now been recognised and accepted by those of us who believe in Angelology. They are, as follows: The First Choir of Angels are Angels who serve as Heavenly Counsellors. They are made up of the following spheres of Angels: Seraphim: These are the highest order of Angels. Their sole function is to surround the presence of God and sing His Divine Praises. The Seraphim are responsible for regulating the emergence of movement emanating from God’s presence. Cherubim: These are known as the “Guardians of Light and of the Stars” responsible for filtering the Divine Light down from the Heavens into our lives. Thrones: They are the Guardians of the planets. It is believed that as they are the Angels responsible for our Earth, we will meet them at our physical death. The Second Choir of Angels are Angels who work as Heavenly Governors. They are made up of the following spheres of Angels: Dominions: They are heavenly beings who are in charge of all angelic-groups; known as the Divine Bureaucrats. They are responsible for integrating material with the spiritual worlds. Although they take their orders from God, they rarely have contact with humans despite their work involving reality issues. Virtues: They are considered true helpers as they beam out massive levels of divine energy to us. The more we become acquainted with them the more they will infuse us and our planet with spiritual energy. Powers: They represent the conscience of all humanity. They are keepers of our history. In this group are the Angels of Birth and Death. The Powers are able to draw down and hold the energy of the divine plan the same way as the trees draw down energy of the sun. In this way, the Powers can send all of you a vision of a world spiritual network. Just as we have a heart, kidneys, liver, and other bodily organs, all of the world’s religions are different organs in the emerging spiritual body of this planet. The Third Choir of Angels are those who function as heavenly messengers. They are as follows: Principalities: They are the guardian Angels of all large groups; cities; nations; multinational corporations. A more modern term for these Angels would be “ Integrating Angels.” Archangels: These heavenly beings are a different family from the Angels. There are many different kinds of Angels here; the four we are most familiar with are Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel. Archangels are also known as “Overlighting Angels.” Angels: These Angels are indeed one of the closest to humanity because they are responsible for our human affairs. Within this group there are indeed many different types of Angels with varying functions but we know them as “ Our Guardian Angels” or companion Angels. As we become more spiritually enlightened about matters pertaining to the spiritual and planetary systems our Guardian Angels may not be required to guard us but certainly they will be needed to guide us to greater consciousness. The Fourth Choir/ Sphere of Angels are known as the Nature Wave. These, unlike the three choirs of Angels who work directly with humanity and its enfoldment, are concerned with the Four Elements. They are: The Earth Realm / Fire Realm / Air Realm / The Water Realm. From the Nature Wave as well originate the younger forms of nature-beings known as Elementals, who eventually evolve through the Deva line into Angels serving in any one of the Four Principal Waves. According to a famous mystic, Flower A. Newhouse, “ Nature, then, is the seedbed out of which the Creator brings forth new generations of Angelic servers.” The youngest of these forms of nature beings are called, Elementals; tiny entities who permeate the planet and who literally breath life and health into all that makes up the four natural realms. Each realm, earth, fire, water, air is home to a sequence of beings that ascend towards devahood, the final stage of evolution in becoming an Angel. When we are attentive and respectful of these heavenly servers they, in turn, recognise this quality and are respectful towards us. When we abuse nature or treat it carelessly, often resulting in disasters, then the nature beings responsible for the four forms of nature have no other alternative but to become involved. Blessings from these holy enlightener’s will touch all who love and reverence God more than self and material things. What we receive from Angels in instruction or revelation always increases our understanding of ourselves and our responsiveness to divine wonders. Regrettably, modern man in his quest for greatness and instant wealth has disregarded the sanctity of Life / one’s Higher-Self / and the sacrality of Mother Earth. This has come about because man has robbed the planet earth of her precious materials which has had an indirect effect. Evidence to support this is manifest in the devastation to our woodlands / rivers / lakes / mountains / and our food chain resulting in the spread of infection and the birth of new and unusual viruses which are destroying not only mankind but the very air we breath through the high levels of pollutants created by our own search for ever greater prosperity. If we believe in Our Angels and can discern their messages to our higher consciousness then we know we have a moral duty to perform to the Creator. We now have to put back that which we robbed from our planet and an even greater duty is expected of us now, and I believe, it is to safeguard and respect the earth we live on by not abusing and destroying what was given on loan to us as a treasured gift. The great naturalist John Muir told us to “ Go up to the mountains and breath the air of the Angel’s breath.” Muir’s loving and perceptive eyes along with Flower A. Newhouse, saw great rocks as alters and majestic trees as priests which, seem ever to be addressing the surrounding forest. The great mystics inform us that the Animal Kingdom and our Angels of Nature cause a continuous renaissance in the natural world. They supervise the elements and seasons. The law of cause and effect ordains the kind of ministry the earth deserves to receive. Thus, these Angels cannot prevent earthquakes, or floods, though they can bring rain and calm. When humankind ignorantly or heedlessly commits an error toward the earth, for example, farming without due regard to the effects on the soil. The Angels of Nature are not permitted to interfere with the inevitable result of soil-erosion. Were the Great Ones allowed to prevent natural catastrophes, we humans would not learn the right use and care of the blessings with which nature has endowed us. In the famous words of our earth Brother , St. Francis, friend of the Angels and Animal Kingdom we conclude by reflecting with them when we say: Creator Lord, make us instruments of your Peace Where there is hatred – let us sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to be love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. THE WAY OF ANGELS. Angels are messengers of God sent to light the way for us. Angels are always here, even if you disbelieve in their existence. Angels are divine creatures who know only love and show love. Angels are instruments of Peace / Faith / Hope/ Love/ Light. Angels know that life is fragile and rely solely on prayer. Angels speak through music and sing to dispel the fears and darkness. Angels first duty is to obey / adore/ love God then us. Angels are known instruments of kindness / compassion / empowerment. Angels are Helpers to the weary traveller. Angels are friends who show us the way through darkness / despair. WHAT DO ANGELS DO ON EARTH. They serve as Protectors and Guardians to our needs. They battle for God and His people. They support / strengthen God’s people. They are ambassadors of Peace and Fellowship. Angels are instruments of direction. They arrive at the moment of our physical death. They serve enthusiastically and selflessly. They are not affected by ego. AUTHENTIC ANGEL RESPONCES RECORDED IN HISTORY. Confirmation of known Angel activities can be seen in The Bible and other religious books. Angels speak the Truth/ Announce Messages/ Reprimand / Advise. Angels Ascend and Descend/ Guard & Protect/ Comfort/ Heal. Angels Communicate/ Preach/ Feed/ Provide/ Proclaim/ Minister. Angels provide Food/ Shelter/ Financial Support/ Security. Angels Set Free/ Give Direction/ Guidance. Angels Save From Death/ Fight our Battles/ Worship. HOW CAN WE BECOME TUNED INTO OUR ANGELS? Ask - Invite - Invoke. Stillness for clear reception. Heart Sensing. Pay them by sending our Angels Love. Harmony in your Aura and home environment. Allow their answer to come to you. Don’t strain or chase it. Be aware of your breathing and remain comfortable within yourself/space. If you experience difficulties hearing or understanding the Angels, ask them to explain what they mean, or are saying to you. Be open with yourself and with your Angels. Discern the hidden messages. Observe any vision, feeling, sound or knowingness that comes to you . Our Angels speak to us through one of these pathways. If you are in doubt, or confused still ask your Angel to explain, or give you a clear sign affirming their answer to you. To engage with our Angels in our Sacred Space / Garden we can do the following: We say meditatively and prayerfully: “ Higher-self, lead me to the vibration level and light level of the Angelic Kingdom.” Then recite the Angel-Mandala given to us in C sharp by our Angels…………….. “Eee Nu Rah, Eee Nu Rah, Eee Nu Rah, Za Nu Rah.” When translated it literally means: Angels, here I am I come to be with you! Hate is not overcome by hate – hate is overcome by love. Our Angels are ambassadors of Love – the Creator’s Love for His children. Angels are real - Angels are there for a specific reason - to walk with you and I in our faith-journey as joint soulmates sent by the Creator to love and assist us at every level of our existence. THE ORDER OF ANGELIC BEINGS WATCHING OVER US Research from around the world tells us that from the beginning of time we have had celestial representation. Our ancestors have fuelled our imagination with stories of things that inspired them to believe in the existence of these magical beings. I believe that there are angels for every task and purpose from birth and death to parking the car. The following poems are a tribute to departed friends and the Angels who care for them. Archangels : An Overview. According to most sources and those who study Angelology, there are at least 15 known divine beings who rule over the rest of the HOST and act as the honored for God’s most important missions. They are: Metatron, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Israfel, Azaziel, Raziel, Moroni, Melchizedek, Ariel, Ophaniel, Raguel, Saraquael,Zadkiel Descriptions of these angels can at times be confusing and overlapping. Part of this problem arose from the Catholic Church’s refusal to accept many of the non-scripturally named angels as existent and thus was forced to delegate the events in the Bible to the three angels who were Michael, Gabriel, Raphael ( who is mentioned in the Catholic apocrypha). Lesser dogmatic individuals, however, were willing to accept the validity of other non-biblical sources, at least as far as the naming of members of the Host. In the descriptions given below, duties that are ascribed to these “lesser” archangels are mentioned in their dossier as opposed to being lumped into the description of the major four. Listed below are only a few of the thousands of Angels who intercede on our behalf when invoked. They are: Chamuel: (He who sees God) comforted Jesus in Gethsemane. Raguel: (Friend of God) observes good behaviour of all angels. Jophiel: (Beauty of God) Accredited removing Adam & Eve from the Garden of Eden. Member of the Cherubim Sphere. Zadkiel: (Righteousness of God) Considered an Angel of Mercy. Member of the Domination Sphere. Shown holding a dagger, following Michael. Remiel: (Mercy of God) Guide to the souls of the faithful. Sariel: ( Command of God) A Seraph working alongside Raguel; decides the fate of angels who stray from God’s path. Raziel: (Secret of God). One of the Cherubim. An angel of knowledge who is author of the tome from which Noah learns to build the ark. RECEIVING ANGEL GUIDANCE. We all have a personal Guardian Angel from the moment of our conception / birth. There are those who have a host of Angels. Why? Because they have specifically asked the Angels and those who have had near-death experiences, often have a myriad of Angels encircling them. Whether you have one or hundreds of Angels around you, your Angels have words of encouragement as well as healing for you. Each Angel is a unique creative being with their distinct personality and temperament. To hear and receive Angel guidance we should do the following: Stay calm . Be relaxed. Be at peace within ourselves. Be aware of your breathing cycle and concentrate fully. How to talk to Angels. Many people want to talk to Angels and how to get angels to talk to them. Angels speak to us through our thoughts. To listen and talk to angels, we must become familiar with our thoughts and our minds. We must go within and connect with the silent peace that resides at the centre of our being. This may not be what people want to hear. It would be easier if angels always materialised and spoke to us the way other humans do, giving us clear directions to follow and make our dreams come true. But direct physical encounters of this kind might interfere with our exercise of free will; we might loose sight of our own role as co-creators. So to connect with the angels, our co-creative counterparts we first have to create the proper climate of trust for the connection. The climate of trust must emanate from within. We can’t go outside of ourselves to find it. Clear communication with the angels is possible as we train our minds and learn about who we are inside, as we learn to identify with our higher self. Training your mind in this way is a very simple process. You don’t need to do anything fancy or be at a “high” spiritual level. All you need to do is trust yourself and practice the attitudes of the angels, such as taking yourself lightly, going lightly through life, thinking positively, nurturing hope, practicing and meditating on self-love, being kind in your thoughts and actions and realizing that the angels love you unconditionally. The angels help anyone who asks and anyone who aspires to their ideals. The only thing angels don’t help humans do is destroy themselves, the planet, and other humans; they are always a force for all that is positive, good, and true. We are therefore empowered by our angels to create a climate of peace and inner strength connecting with the light energy that glows within your very soul, to help you to brighten that light so you are a beacon of hope shining for the world around you. Connecting with our angels is equally as important as hearing their voice in our conversations with them. We hear our Angels by nurturing “angel practices” that include exercises to strengthen your body. Following these practices will give you the spiritual perseverance so necessary in the modern world. You will learn to bring your heavenly companions, our angels, with you on your spiritual path, the road less travelled, taking it one step at a time. Harvesting Nature’s Bounty. In the divine reckoning of the Creator, we are judged not according to our worldly attainments of fame or fortune, rank or degrees; we are judged solely on the basis of the inner growth we have achieved according to the truth we have touched. Individuals who advance more rapidly are those who have given themselves more completely to what has been learned – who discover each unique facet of revealed truth with nature and then apply it swiftly and wholeheartedly to their lives. To such individuals nature will dispense her great secrets. When we enter the magnificent natural setting of the forest / mountain regions our aura undergoes a positive change. As we venture into nature’s wonderland , the aura begins to absorb the hues associated with the surroundings. The purity and vibrancy that come with these hues bring a sense of peace and revitalization that originates with the activity of the angels and nature beings inhabiting this region. For us, this comes as a fortuitous gift, for these glorious presences are so absorbed in their service to nature, they normally do not notice humans entering their domain. Having one’s aura cleansed and recharges with angelic energies, the colours of which are often beyond the range of our visible spectrum, is much like taking a magical shower. A most appropriate time to enter nature for instruction is on one’s birthday. At such a time we are apt to be more receptive, more attuned, and more appreciative. If we are fortunate, on such an occasion nature will endow us with a glimpse of what lies ahead, what cycle we will be entering, and what needs transcending in our lives. It is a day to be open to receive intuitive promptings and insights. Nature has no favourites. Whenever we are most humble, we will learn the most. For us to receive, our auras must be open like the tendrils or like a sunburst of energy. We are then available to glorious impressions all about us. The more ways we have of finding God, the more we absorb and the less we are preoccupied with thoughts of ourselves which crowd out the gifts of inner receptivity. To harvest Nature’s Bounty involves a partnership with our Angels by engaging our spirit with their spirit. To be a true nature mystic whose receptivity is steadfast, our struggle with self-centeredness must be a never ending discipline, being in tune with the eyes of our soul arouses ever increasing degrees of self-giving. Nature’s messages are everywhere visible to us, if only we will open our hearts to her reality. There is so much to learn in nature’s kingdom. If patience is our lesson, we could find no better teacher, for nature’s patience is watching the slow pace of the passing seasons is example enough. If we are wise, we will take our troubles, whatever they are, into some nature sanctuary, to find answers there that come in no other way. Better still, troubled or not, let us establish with nature a kinship that we can experience frequently and profoundly as a permanent part of our life. If we reverence nature, she will be at our side like the mother she is. Then, the rising sun, rain, moonlight, the change of seasons, a great and friendly tree, the pattern of snowflakes, the wildness and scent of the winds, the loveliness of the most miniature flower will cheer us immensely and fill us with a sublime awareness of our Creator who, to our amazement and for the sake of divine delight, fashions such wonders even in places human eyes never reach. To get to this oasis in our spiritual – angel faith journey we need to rediscover our Angels of Nature so that we can work in partnership with them and they with us. How can we engage with our Angels of Nature? We can do this by approaching them via our five-senses. They are: Sight: Seeing their great works using our eyes. Smell: Engaging our sense of smell when we enter nature’s realm and enjoy the assault of the most pleasant kind on our nostrils. Hearing: In silence we can enjoy the rhapsody of life-forms singing the Creator’s praises. Touch: By gently caressing delicate foliage and plant life, we can enjoy the wonder of the Creator’s touch in the flora and fauna of the earth. Taste: We benefit from nature’s gifts by enjoying all that the Creator has made for our survival. Conversing with The Angels / Creator. A personal reflection. Trying to hold a conversation in noisy surroundings is frustrating and uncomfortable. Having to shout to make yourself heard, and having to strain to hear above the din doesn’t make for good communication. A crowded dance hall with very loud music is no place to be if you just want a quiet chat. Certainly not the ideal place to engage with our Angels of the Nature Wave. One of the things that gets in the way of our prayer – which is a conversation with God – is the noise that’s going on inside our heads. Our worries, our anxieties, our needs, our wants set up a constant clamour in our minds that blots out everything else. With this noise going on it’s little wonder if we find prayer difficult. We need the ability to let the mind run down; to have the courage to let go of our immediate concerns. That means: Making time for ourselves. Making time for peace. Making time for quiet and solitude. Leaving busyness behind. In a world that prizes busyness and activity that’s not easy. Pray like this: Find a place where you know you will not be disturbed – a church, a park bench, your own bedroom. Listen to the sounds within your own body – your breathing, your heartbeat. Then move within yourself to a place of silence and peace. Remain in this place for as long as you wish, simply “ looking at God, The Creator, and His angels. Personal Power. People habitually use only a small part of the powers which they possess and which they might use under appropriate circumstances. William James. All of us here on earth have our own sources of personal power. Some people give their power away and end up feeling and thinking like victims; some go to the other extreme with their power and create situations that victimize others. Our power is energy we use to establish who we are. Life entails such a fine balance. If too much power was taken away from us while we were growing up, we may feel out of control and powerless, and this may cause us to look for power outside ourselves. In essence, personal power depends on a delicate balance. An excess of power, either way, usually results with harmful consequences both to ourselves and our immediate family, friends etc. When we are centred, we have brought our personal power and life force totally within ourselves; we can control the flame. If we are uncentered, the flame may rage out of control or be so dim someone may blow it out accidentally. The concept of power and balance is not a new one. What might be new for you is the idea that angels can help us keep our power in balance, and fight for us when we feel like victims. We may not see this fight or even know it is happening, but we must trust the angels that they will always be there, cheering us to victory. Personal Angel Power. Angels are our silent witnesses. They are our source for true greatness. Our discipleship in the fields of the Creator is reliant totally upon the influence of our angels from every rank and celestial realm. Their radiant light energy leads us to Throne of all Love. Angel love leads us, supports us, empowers us to achieve greatness both here on Earth and in the heavens. At times we may rely on other people in our lives to define who we are and to give us an illusion of security. Doing this can cause problems. The only true security on this planet comes from within ourselves. A security this world has great difficulty comprehending and even accepting. What is this security ? It is a belief that wherever we are, regardless of location, and what happens to you that we are loved unconditionally. We are special . As a child of the universe we are adopted as sons and daughters of the Creator and become co creators in partnership with our angels. In contrast, if you are constantly looking for new friends and relationships with the belief that they will fill what is missing in your life, then people will be repelled. Again, this comes back around you to being yourself – to being you, and only you. You are special, unusual, remarkable, and very capable of having what you want. When you know that truth deep inside yourself, others of like mind will know it, too, and be attracted to you. Then other people become embellishments to your life instead of disappointments. Whoever you are right now, and whatever your background you come from, you have your own personal power and if used in balance and harmony it will lead you to a happy and free state of being. Engaging with your personal angel can empower you to change directions, reverse negative habits, break old molds, enjoy yourself, be someone new, start a new career, become an artist or a poet or whatever your heart desires – all it takes is energy put toward that particular goal. This energy comes from your own internal power source – your higher self, which the angels are in close contact with. The content of our seminars / conferences are designed to show you how angels can help you keep your personal power fresh and energized rather than stale or overwhelming, keep your personal power protected from negative influences, and learn to set up appropriate boundaries. THE ANGEL’S VOICE. Wisdom is ever bright, The light by which we see, Revealed to our expectant sight! We seek this truth to know, This holy path to take, And so in understanding grow And anxious fears forsake. Now in the waiting night, O let us watchful be, Preparing for the blessed sight Of wisdom full and free; When all shall be at rest, And peace and justice flow, And ev’ryone by fear oppressed His perfect love will know. Joy of the aching heart, O wondrous vision fair, That those by death now kept apart That glorious day will share! O for the Angel’s voice, The trumpet’s sound, When all the saints in light rejoice In mystery profound! Angel Alpha State. What is Angel Alpha State ? How can we access it? How many types are there? When does it happen ? Where does it happen ? Are there any ill effects to it ? What is involved with it ? Is it infectious ? Does it involve our Angels ? Angel Alpha State.” To do inner-spiritual work, we must learn to create a climate in our minds that will permit us to be still and listen to our inner guidance. Our inner guidance involves listening to our higher-self, our Guardian Angel, our Shamen, our Spirit-Guides with the innocence of a child. It also involves raising our level to be one with our higher-self and our guardians and spiritual guides. This exercise helps you practice attuning with the light-energy, joining with the angels, and learning about yourself. Our society has not placed a high value on spiritual insight and spiritual matters. Society, regrettably, looks for satisfaction and fulfilment from the outside in, rather than from the inside out. Many people claim that they feel unfilled, empty, lonely, depressed and isolated in their personal journey. There is HOPE! What is Angel Alpha State ? Angel Alpha State uses the alpha waves our brains naturally produces in certain states of consciousness. There are four classes of brain waves – alpha, beta, theta, and delta. These four classes of brain waves indicate the different frequencies, or number of cycles per second, of the brain waves. Alpha waves are connected with a relaxed, yet alert, mental state. We go through the alpha state right before we awaken. Alpha brain waves predominate when we meditate. They are the key to a peaceful mind and a feeling of centeredness; they are our true friends. Whenever you want to reach angel-alpha-state, take a few deep breaths, relax your body, and simply connect with the centre of your mental peace. Feel the alpha waves roll gently through your brain. If you like, use the word, Angel as your mantra. Tell your mind that you want to connect with the vibration level and the light level of the angelic kingdom. As you practice angel-alpha, you will discover the method that works best for you. You don’t have to be at any particular spiritual level or be a regular practitioner of meditation to use angel-alpha-state; the angels see to it that you an slow your brain waves down and join them for a moment of mental peace. There are no set rules; basically, you just need to relax and not push for anything sensational to happen. Remember that angels are the messengers from God. When you meditate in alpha state, declare and realize that you are listening to the kingdom of God, the higher-power in your life. Your higher-power is personal to you, but a good testing point when listening to God and the angels is that the messengers never cause fear. Messages from the angels always use the right timing and encourage happiness. Creator of Storms / Sunsets. Lord our God, O Lord our Father, Lord of love and Lord of fear, now we gather round your alter and we know your Word is near. All our lives lie open to you, Lord of age and Lord of youth, As we bring our sins before and falsehoods To the judgement of your truth. Lord of times and Lord of seasons, Lord of calmness, Lord of stress, heart that sees our secret terrors, Lord of strength and gentleness. Lord of storms and Lord of sunsets, Lord of darkness, Lord of light. Cast the shadow of your blessing, On us gathered in your sight. Lord of foes and Lord of friendships, Lord of laughter, Lord of tears, Lord of toil and Lord of Sabbath, Master of the hurrying years. Lord of hope and Lord of hunger, Lord of atoms, Lord of space, Take this world we bring before you To the haven of your grace. THE GRACE PROCESS Joy, humour, and wisdom are just three of the gifts that our Angels bring to us. Their companionship gives us support, particularly when we are alone. The techniques that follow, The Meditations. The Visualizations. The Exercises. All of these methods have been developed in collaboration with the Angels and also with groups of people in our workshops and seminars. The Angels are now in control. There are Five steps to talking with your Angel: Grounding, Releasing, Aligning, Conversing, and Enjoying the connection. The first letters of the five-steps will give you an easy way to remember them, GRACE. Each step is as important as the first step. Meeting your Angel is indeed Joyful / Loving / Delightful / Momentous. They do say that when you have met your Angel it will change your life / your outlook / your faith-journey. Like in a human relationship that is loving and intense for this relationship to survive it requires love and commitment. Working With Angels In Recovery. When we invite the angels to participate in our lives, we begin to understand that all paths can lead to God. Illness is a route to spiritual awakening; addiction is too. Like alarms, they ring warning bells to alert us that we’re off course or stuck, and we can’t progress on our spiritual path until we wake up. To make headway in our higher development, we need to discover the block and remove the cause. We need to heal on a profound level. REALITY CREATION. One sign that we’re on a path to Higher Consciousness is the recognition that we create our own reality. Everything we bring into our lives – and that includes situations we’d never dream of wanting! Is an opportunity, sometimes quite challenging, to take a correct action. This understanding carries no blame. And yet, how often we have been made to feel wrong, or even guilty, for having an illness or an addiction. The angels tell us that everything that comes into our life is a teaching, a lesson. Cancer is bad enough without beating up for getting the disease. Yet we equate sickness with evil. This is very evident in certain countries where the population are uneducated. In the early 70’s I visited Malta and there to my horror I discovered this practice. The family kept their 30 year old son in doors, away from the public eye for fear of reprisals. Does this inappropriate behaviour still exist in your local community? The sicker we are, the worse we must be. This is where the healing presence of angels is so important, for angels bring in loving acceptance, with no judgement, no criticism. They’re here to help us find our way out of the ills and troubles we have attracted to ourselves in order to come into wholeness and balance. With our angels’ help we learn to bless the lesson, or experience, instead of cursing or condemning the condition. We believe that what we bless, in faith, will improve at the appropriate time. NO BLAME - NO SHAME. Aligning with our angel allows us to drop the shame and blame of our condition, our illness, and get on with the healing-process. Instead of feeling bad about it, or trying to deny it, we can take responsible actions that will liberate and heal us. When we bring the angels in, we open to the angelic way of holding any given situation: No blame, no shame, no making wrong. Whatever we’ve done, the angels let us know that we’re still okay. They don’t judge us, so when we join forces with them, we learn not to judge ourselves. This frees up energy that we can use in recovery and healing. This is true whether we’re dealing with cancer, AIDS, or substance abuse. It’s true when we’re dealing with abuse of any kind, whether it is physical, mental, emotional, religious, or sexual. THE SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE The angels do not heal us. They help us to heal ourselves. Their presence allows every one of us, regardless of our particular illness or addiction, to heal our feelings of separation and loneliness. We are not alone. From the moment you connect to your angel, you need never feel alone again. And you don’t have to heal alone. The angels are with you, part of your personal healing team, which may include doctors, nurses, therapists, clergy, and other healing practitioners, and members of a recovery group. Just as each one of these helpers will give a particular slant or way to approach your healing, the angels will connect you to a spiritual perspective, so you can grasp the significance and meaning of the condition you’ve manifested to yourself and to your angels involved in the recovery process. ORIGINS OF ADDICTIONS Addictions stem from feelings of unworthiness, just as all abuses come from lack of caring and respect. These are a sign that love is missing. Abuse of alcohol, drugs, caffeine, nicotine, sex, relationships, shopping, gambling, and food is an attempt to fill the empty place inside. Addictions are coping techniques for dealing with deficiencies in love. When an infant does not receive the handling, nurturing, bonding it requires, it grows up with a love-deficit. This damages self-esteem and retards the development of healthy self-love. The less self-love you have, the more prone you become to feeding yourself with a substitute for feeling good. This takes the form of compulsive behaviours. Compulsive behaviours or addictions are out of balance with correct measure. When you’re insufficiently supplied with what you need, your compensatory action will be out of balance too. PATHS TO GOD Addictions are a path that many people choose to find God. It is the Higher-Self at work, guiding the individual in the way that best suits the requirements of that soul. You might say this is a harsh way – as are AIDS, sexual abuse, and other difficult passageways. Our angels tell us that the harshness is commensurate with the level of obstinacy the soul is stuck in – and its ultimate strength. You can dig a small stone out of the earth with your fingers or a trowel. If you want to dislodge a boulder, you use dynamite. To break the cycle of addiction, “dynamite” sometimes appears in the form of a dramatic event, like an accident, illness, or catastrophe. This occurs so frequently that it is commonly believed that an addict must hit bottom before beginning recovery. This is not necessarily the case, but in those instances when “dynamite” strikes, there was no other way to claim the person’s attention. The event is a wake-up-call. THE END AND THE BEGINNING As a Rescuer, my personal story, started when my close friend died of cancer, aged 42, in March 1996. We were monks together from the beginning and remained good friends for the past 28 years. My world fell apart in August 1996. Considering the fact that having been a qualified general trained nurse for 38 yrs. And latterly, prior to my best friend’s death and dying experience I was involved as a nurse specialist in palliative care in the community. Yet, my professional life and my commitment did not prepare me for the remorse, the pain, the isolation, the deep sadness and separation that hit me forcibly out of the blue. I hit rock bottom when I developed a bad reaction to Prozac. The associated dissenhibitive, disassociated behaviour and the bouts of suicidal ideation resulted in loss of job, loss of home, loss of partner of 24 years, loss of dignity and labelled mentally ill. The rejection received from colleagues in the caring profession hit home and hurt at a deeper level than realized. But, after several years of quietness, prayer, therapy, Reiki, Angel intervention, I can openly say, hand on heart, that the angels have blessed my life. Out of the Dark Night of the Soul, my disability has given me the ability to walk and work with my angels at a deeper spiritual level. Rather than say negatively, “Why Me”; now I say, “Why Not Me”…………….. The recent experience, however traumatic and debilitating, has afforded me new opportunities of cherishing the quiet, still life, alone with my angels of nature. Words cannot convey to you the joy and blessedness I experience each new day. THE GRACE PROCESS By identifying the issues surrounding our fears is an essential step in achieving the state of openness that allows us to connect with our Angels. You need to release before you can go forward! Being earthbound, subject to the gravitational pull, our vibration is denser than that of the Angels. Releasing helps us to raise our personal vibrations through the discharge of energies that have been blocked or held in the mental and emotional systems. Holding onto something requires effort and energy, and prevents us from receiving. If we are clogged up with negativity, we can’t open-up to our Angels. When we let go, we free our energy so it can be used in other, more productive ways, and then we can receive the wisdom and love our Angels bring to us. In other words, the more you are prepared to work at releasing your fears, the more you will experience the benefits of an increased vibration level within. To engage with your Angels, we say to our “ Higher-Self, Increase the vibration and Light levels of the Angelic-Kingdom” so that I may perceive my angel. THE GRACE PROCESS Why Shouldn’t I make contact with my Angel ? Why should an Angel talk to me ? I’m not spiritual enough. Angels don’t talk to people. Maybe I’ll get a bad Angel instead. With Encouragement ,You can translate these answers into issues: Angels don’t exist. = Fear of disappointment. Why should an Angel talk to me. = Unworthiness. I’m not spiritual enough. = Unworthiness. Angels don’t talk to people. = Fear of disappointment Maybe I’ll get a bad Angel. = Fear INVITE THE ANGELS INTO YOUR LIFE. 1.Visit a Wise person – There are many different kinds of wise people, old and young, inner and outer. Picking this situation may be an invitation to sit with an elder of the community, a sage, or teacher. It may be inviting you to take a workshop with someone you admire and respect, or maybe they may be calling you to go on a faith journey, a private retreat, and there discover the wise person you carry within your spirit. Through the wise person, our angels will make themselves known to you in words, or in silence, or by a gesture or a feeling. 2. Create a Sacred Space & Ritual – This may involve creating an angel sacred peace garden, or somewhere in your bedroom, suitable for private meditation or a sacred dance that you do in the forest / woods. When you draw this happening, know that through the creation of sacredness an angel will definitely connect with you, will dance with you, will pray with you, will touch your spirit with love and healing. Permit yourself to develop and expand this contact with your angel. 3. Be with a Plant, an Animal, or with the Earth itself – Through attunement to the planet and all of its various life forms, the angel you need to communicate with now will come to you. Give yourself time to go out into the world. Sit beside a tree, play with your pet, walk into the woods, or a park nearby, climb a mountain. Take the opportunity to connect to the planet itself. Sprawl out on the grass or the sand. Feel the wind. Open up to the sky above you. When you do this, you open the way for the angels you have chosen to come and be with you, to whisper to you, in the wind, in the waves and through the leaves and trees. 4. Do Nothing: - Stop looking and hungering and stop searching. Let go and let the angels come to you in their own way and in their own time. Know that you do not have to do everything. In fact, right now, you don’t have to do anything at all. Let the angels come to you in whatever way they see fit. It may be when and where you least expect them. Go within, into a deep place of surrender. Let go of control, and let the angels do all the work. 5. Do Something New – So often we live in the little prisons of routine and habit that we create for ourselves. We don’t notice how vast and full of possibilities life is. If you choose the circumstance, do something you have never done before. Perhaps it is time to do something you’ve been afraid to do, something that challenges your physical or mental prowess. By stretching your limits you expand your potential for self-esteem, renewal and self-confidence. You feel more alive and energetic. 6. Spend Time With Someone You Love – Create some special time to be with your partner, your best friend. Make a date with an old friend. If there isn’t anyone in your life right now that you feel this way about, invite love in, invite friendship in. Visit a close relative. Call on a neighbour. Sometimes, we forget to spend time with people that we care about – we forget that the love is there. 7. Spend Time Alone in a Beautiful Place – Beauty is nurturing. Allow yourself to rest and be healed by the beauty this planet offers us, or by the beauty that we as humans have created, in a cathedral, a museum, a mosque, walking in a formal garden, or at the top of a tower looking out at a glorious view. In being there, feel the angels that surround you, and take in their beauty, too. 8. Visit a Healer – As with visiting a wise person, this may be an outer or an inner journey, for in the end we are our own best healers. A loving friend can be a healer. An image that holds power for you can be a healer, too. Perhaps this selection hints that you need to be nurtured, massaged, looked after. Is it a reminder to make the appointment with your doctor that you keep postponing? Sit quietly and know that you will find the answer to the question this occasion proposes to you. When you do visit a healer, the angels will be there with you, working with and through that person to deepen your healing. 9. Just Have Fun – This might be the most difficult adventure of all. It’s often hard to be light and free, to let yourself overflow with pleasure. But when you do, the angels will all be there with you, laughing and happy, too. Some people never grow up because they think grownups don’t have fun. But fun is simply a way of being alive, enjoying each moment. If you think you have forgotten how, just remember that you once knew how to do it. Fun is like riding a bicycle. You can’t forget how to do it, you can only forget to do it. 10.Visit a Sacred Space and Participate in a Ritual – Unlike the earlier invitation to create sacredness, this primarily involves calling you to participate in something established, traditional, something rooted in history. It may be of the tradition in which you were raised, or it may be from another. In selecting this action, you are asked to open to the angels through surrendering to something outside of yourself. You do not have to do the work. You only need to allow something external and ancient to do its work on you. 11.Talk To Someone Who Has Known You For a Long Time – This may be a parent or an old friend, a sibling, or someone you’ve lost touch with and need to track down. In choosing this event someone who has seen you grow through time will give voice to what the angels have to say to you. What they say may not be what you expect – or want – to hear. But it will be what you need to hear, right now, in order to grow. You may be asked to look at self-limiting patterns, or you may be forced to recognise something wonderful about yourself that you have been denying. 12.Do Something You Don’t Like To Do – There is much to be learned by examining your judgements and dislikes. Selecting this situation can help you to see how you are limited by them. There are some things we avoid out of fear or pride. This situation is an opportunity to release limitations. If you’ve chosen it, do something you’ve said you never would. Watch your resistance and see if you can let it go. Ask yourself what it is that makes you uncomfortable. Be as open and receptive as you can. Feel the presence of the angels. They are there to support you as you move through your judgements or fears. Dance and laugh with them into the light. 13. Look For a Power Object – A power object focuses your energy and purposefulness. It could be a book, a crystal, a rock, an unusual stick you find in the woods, or a special shell or stone you find on the beach. The search for your power object is a pilgrimage to the part of yourself that you are ready to honour and know. It’s the part that remembers why you came to this planet and what you are here to do. Through this object you will be empowered to know yourself better, and be yourself more. 14. Give Something Away – It may be something you love, it may be something you never use, or it may be something you have been holding on to that has a negative associations for you. It may be valuable or of little worth. The act of giving it away will free up a part of your life and make room for something new. You create the opportunity for an angelic gift. It may not come right away. It will come in angel time. Be open to receive it, and give thanks when it arrives. 15. Make Something – A picture, a meal, a dance, a sweater, a poem. Invite the angels to be with you as you do. Welcome them as muses, softly inspiring you to connect with the part of yourself that is as creative and rich as life itself. Your creativity could emerge through a joke, a poem, or the flowers you plant in your garden. In my case, I created an angel sacred peace garden and captured everything on video. In choosing this experience, remember that we are all co-creators with God. Let your creative impulses flow freely, as light from the sun, shining in every direction. 16. Connect Through a Book, Record, Film, TV, or Art – If you chose this event, the angels will come to you through someone else’s creative work. It could be a book you are reading. A film may give you just the story you need to hear. In my case, my angels communicated with my spirit whilst watching the Nun’s Story with Audrey Hepburn. It was during the film that I sensed the call to enter a monastic nursing order within 3 months. A painting, or a dance may be so full of angelic connection that it infects you with its joy. Something out there has been created with information in it just for you. It may have been created a thousand years ago, or it may be as new as yesterday. Out there in the world something is waiting to talk to you, something created for you. Trust that the angels will wing it your way. 17. Surrender To Each Moment – If you picked this situation, know that you are being asked to meet the angels in each moment, happy or sad, funny or fearful. Each moment is a teacher. Nothing that happens is a mistake – there are no accidents. Every situation in your life has something to teach you. A “mistake” can teach you more than a “right” move. Remember this. Know that in your surrender to each moment the angels are with you, supporting and sustaining you as you experience the great unity of All That Is. 18. Incubate a Dream - This is one of the easiest ways to let the angels come to you. As you are falling asleep, invite an angel to commune with you in a dream. You may ask your dreaming-self for a dream about a specific situation, and trust that your angel will speak to you as you sleep. It may take several nights to incubate the dream, but if you are patient, the angels will come to through. You can ask your angel to help you identify it in the dream. Dreaming helps me connect with my angelic nature. 19. Open a Book at Random – It may be a book that you love, or it may just be any old book that you are drawn to grab off the shelf. Know that the angels will guide your hands to open the book at just the right page, and help you to put your finger on the right paragraph, the words of which will tell you just what you need to hear and know. 20. Remember Something from Your Childhood - In childhood we are all much closer to the angels, and so it is easier for the angels to be with us. By remembering something from your childhood, something that you did or thought or felt or loved or wanted to do, the angels will reach out to you again, in innocence and joy. It may help to look at childhood pictures of yourself, or to look at and handle some object that was yours when you were small. 21. Let The Angels Write Through You - It is time to sit quietly and commune with an angel directly. Take time to do the GRACE Process, as described in our series of CD’s /audio tape no: 5” Engaging With Your Angel In Your Sacred Space.” Let the angel you have chosen from the group of different angels come through. Savor its wisdom in the words that you write. This is also an opportunity to dialogue with your angel, as you have learned. 22. Expect Guidance from a Stranger – You an never tell if someone might be an angel in disguise. You can never tell when an angel will speak to you through someone you don’t know. It might happen on a bus or standing in line. Keep your ears open. When you least expect it, a stranger will give you a piece of information on a part of your life that needs elucidation or explanation. It may be a new direction you never considered. Often, it’s easier to talk to strangers than it is to |
