Connecting with Angels

Seeking Guidance

Whatever a person’s belief system might be; whether it is formalized religion, a spiritual focus, or a combination of a few; each of us likes to feel connected to those who are supporting us from the other side, other realms, or even an alternate universe. One of the underlying commonalities is that there is something greater than ourselves from which we seek to hear, see and receive guidance. One thing I have come to know is true is that our guides and angels are always around us, and they are willing to gently guide us toward becoming better and happier human beings. All we need to do is to request them for help.

There are several ways to communicate with your angels. Some of the simplest and most common ones are:

Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are available at most divination stores; in fact, a lot of bookstores also keep a few packs of angel and divine guidance cards. Most oracle card decks have about 45-50 cards with words of wisdom and compassion printed on them. To read oracle cards, you need to calm yourself down with your chosen mind training exercise*, then say a silent prayer of gratitude to your angels and request them to help you. Shuffle the deck for a few minutes before spreading the cards on a clean table and drawing out one card.

Though drawing oracle cards may seem like a completely random method of seeking guidance from the angels, the fact is the “magic” of the cards lies in this randomness. Choosing one card over the other is not a coincidence or matter of chance; in fact, it is a way of allowing the angels to direct us to pick up the right card.

Seek Help and Wait

This is perhaps the simplest and best way of seeking guidance for people who have trouble keeping faith. Whenever you need guidance, send a silent prayer of gratitude to your angels and request their help. If you pay close attention to the events that follow, you will see how guidance comes in different ways. You may find your answer in an advertisement on TV, a film you end up watching, or a book you start reading on an impulse.

You will be surprised at the number of ingenious ways your guides and angels can come up with to help you. With time you will learn to view every seeming coincidence for what it really is: a wonderful miracle!

Writing Exercises

This method of seeking advice should only be tried once you have reached a stage when you can rein in your mind’s ramblings within minutes and when your faith and confidence in your own intuitive abilities have become a strong knowing.

Write down your question on a piece of paper, calm your mind with your chosen mind training exercise, say a silent prayer of gratitude and request your angels to help you, take a deep breath, and start writing down the first answer that comes to your mind. You will know this answer is the advice from your guides if it fills you with a feeling of detached calmness and if you can’t spot even an ounce of fear and anxiety in the words you have written.

The beauty of communicating with your guides and angels is it makes you realize how fulfilling life can be! Divine guidance will always encourage you to love yourself and treat others will compassion. It will help you choose the right path when you are in a dilemma, and most of all your guiding angels will make sure you never waiver from the path of spiritual growth as long as you follow their guidance.

Until next time, embrace your inner wisdom.

Namaste,

*Exercises, like meditation, visualization exercises (where you imagine yourself in beautiful and peaceful location), or taking time out to observe nature, are called mind training exercises, as they help one in ridding the mind of stray thoughts, stress, and anxiety.
