Angelic Guidance.
Listening To Your Personal Angels.
We all receive divine intervention in our lives, whether we recognize it or not. It's that feeling that someone you just met could be significant in your life, or a voice telling you to take a different route and thus helping you avoid a major traffic jam. Perhaps you keep hearing a certain song on the radio until it becomes clear that there is a message in the lyrics especially for you.
"Angelic voices are consistently loving and supportive, even when they warn us of impending dangers or wrong turns," says Dr. Doreen Virtue, a spiritual clairvoyant, as well as a doctor of counseling psychology and the author of numerous books on angels and other spiritual issues. Virtue combines her training in psychology with her spiritual insight in a practice she deems, "Angel Therapy." She believes we are all born with some form of psychic ability that, when nurtured and exercised, provides us with powerful spiritual insights. Angels are here to help us develop our spiritual muscles as well as to give us guidance.
In addition to her nine books on working with angels, Virtue also has designed angel oracle cards, and gives workshops helping people connect with their angels. She explains that angels are all around us just waiting to be invited to help and guide us. "You don't need to say a formal invitation or invocation ritual, and you don't even need to verbalize your call aloud," explains Virtue. "Just the thought, "Angels!" is enough. If your request for angelic assistance is sincere, the angels appear in response to your call often before you've finished calling them." Virtue says that you can feel the presence of angels as a warm brush across your face, shoulders, hands, or arms. The air pressure changes when angels enter the room, like a cool cloud and the temperature may seem to shift. You also may catch a whiff of a sweet fragrance or hear beautiful music coming from nowhere. Angel sightings may be a white light out of the corner of your eye or a feather mysteriously appearing. You may even be fortunate enough to actually see an angel in all its glory standing beside a loved one. Those urgings to improve your life or warning shouts in your head to "watch out!" are the angels communicating with you, as are the ideas you get that dramatically transform your life for the better.
"You know that guidance comes from angels when it is loving focused, not hurtful to you or your family, and consistent," says Virtue. Angels are always close by, just waiting to be asked to enhance your life and assist you on your spiritual path.

An Invitation To Love.
Angel Meditation.
Though your host of spirit guides encompasses many diverse beings, all of which willingly watch over you, meditating with angels can be a uniquely insightful experience. The angels stationed at your side are both powerful and knowledgeable-they possess a limitless understanding of your needs and desires, your strengths and weaknesses, and your purpose. However, angels take an active part in our lives only when invited to do so. Meditation allows you to make contact with your angels and lovingly request that they participate actively in your day-to-day life.
To begin, retreat to a solitary place where you won't be distracted by concerns. Incense and candlelight may aid you in achieving a meditative state but are not necessary. However, laying an image of an angel, angel statue, or item symbolizing your angels before you can focus your thoughts. Sit comfortably, breathe deeply, and let yourself relax. When you feel peaceful, invite your angels from the highest of light to sit with you as you meditate. Mentally repeat your request and reiterate that this time together is important to you. Then, in your mind's eye, visualize a bright-white light floating above you. As you breathe, draw this light first into the crown of your head and then into the whole of your physical self. Allow this light to spread through your arms and hands, your core, and your lower body. Repeat this integration of illumination with a violet light.
Once again, ask your angels to be with you. Let the stillness surrounding you enter your soul, and open your heart to your angel guides. If they wish to communicate a message, they will do so now. Allow them to wrap their wings around you and infuse you with their bountiful love. Breathe them in as you did the light. As the meditation draws to a close, you may feel a presence, fluttering wings, or billowing fabric, or you may see an angel in your mind's eye. Thank them for providing you with love and light, and being with you as you meditated. If you don't sense or feel anything, there is no cause for worry-you can be certain your angels are with you. Don't be surprised if you start to see signs throughout the day that your angels are near, perhaps a feather at your doorstep. As you practice this meditation, you will become increasingly adept at recognizing when your angels are near and sensing their presence.

What We Can’t See.
The Unseen World.
Just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, although this is a common way in which people deny the existence of spirit guides, angels, and other unseen helpers in our lives. However, anyone who has encountered such beings can attest to the fact that they do, indeed, exist, just as our breath exists, keeping us alive, even though we can’t see it. The wind exists, too, but we only know this because we feel it on our skin and hear it moving the leaves on the trees. All around us and within us are things we can’t see, and yet we know they are just as real as the grass beneath our feet.
What we see and don’t see may just be a matter of perspective, like the ladybug who sees the leaf on which she sits, but not the tree the leaf grows on, or the person sitting beneath it. And the person beneath the tree may or may not see the ladybug, depending on where he focuses his attention. Still, all of these things, whether seen or not seen by the person or the ladybug, exist in reality. Some people are more gifted at accessing that which we cannot see, but given an open and willing heart, anyone can tune into the invisible realm and begin to find their way.
Human beings have always done this, and it is only recently that we have fallen into distrusting the existence of what we can’t see. If you have lost touch with the unseen world, all you have to do is resolve to open your heart to its existence, and it will make itself known. Closing your eyes in meditation and visualization, or engaging the unseen through the written word, are just two ways to welcome the invisible back into your life. Whatever you choose to do, cultivating a relationship with that which you can’t see is a time-honored human practice that can greatly enhance your life.
