Many folks are struggling with uncertainty, challenges and fear at this time. Finances, health, relationships, losses, work are just some of the areas in which people are wanting some relief ~ some answers ~ some hope. Asking for a miracle or a sign is not uncommon. But how does it happen?
Flashback to the early Doreen Virtue books on angels. At the time, Doreen was nicknamed the Angel Lady, because she was intimately connected to the angelic realm. She helped millions of people connect to the angels and their love. From the introduction to her book, Signs From Above, she explains some key concepts:
“These celestial messengers are here to help us be peaceful and to guide us in helping other people be the same. Yet, the angels won’t intervene without our permission or violate our free will. After all, we’re here to learn and evolve on a soul level, from both the good and the bad. … When angels help us through life, sometimes they do so in ways that may not be immediately recognizable to us. That is because they are here to guide and protect, not lead and direct. They often deliver answers, hints, messages and warnings through signs – signals, or anomolies in life, which let us know that they’re with us.” p. XIV-XV
What is an angel? In her book, The Angel Bible, Hazel Raven explains:
“Angel is derived from a Greek word meaning “messenger”. Angels are considered a bridge between Heaven and Earth. They are deathless beings of pure consciousness, unlimited by the constraints of time and space. They are eternally bound to the blissful energy radiating from the Divine. … The earliest writings of Sumeria, Egypt, Persia and India recognized winged messengers of the gods.” p. 8-10
Most angelic communication comes in the forms of intuitive feelings and thoughts. But if we need more substantial “proof”, signs are given. Angelic signs will be:
- out of the ordinary
- repetitive
- personally meaningful
- timed to coincide with your prayers or questions that you’ve posed to the Divine
Examples of common signs include things like angel-shaped clouds, feathers, rainbows, meaningful song lyrics, coins, familiar aromas (perfume, pipe-smoke, etc.), flickering lights, specific birds or insects (butterflies, dragonflies, etc.), flowers, repetitive words or numbers and many others. To experience these signs, we must believe in them and notice them. Acknowledging and listening to your signs shows the angelic realm that you are open, receptive and willing to be shown more. And they will!
How can we get angelic signs from above in our lives? If you wish, will, or manifest something, you are, in effect, praying for it and the angels are listening. That’s why it’s important to monitor your thoughts and keep only what you do want on your mind at all times. Angels want the very best for you, but if your thoughts aren’t in your best interest, they will honour your request because they want to give you what you want. When we focus on negativity or what we don’t have in our life, that is the message/wish that they hear – and act upon. This will then provide us with more negativity and lack!
“Be careful what you think/wish for, because you will get it!”
As Doreen Virtue points out in her book, Signs From Above:
“Angels are not here to control our lives. Sometimes, their most powerful act is to comfort us. The angels’ signs let us know that we’re not alone and that we’re on the correct path in our lives. Things that feel like monumental problems shrink to mere speed bumps when we sense the power and love of Heaven and realize that the angels are on our side.” p. 12
The angels’ chief purpose is to bring peace to Earth, one human heart at a time. Believe and notice the signs coming your way. Remember: you are not alone on this journey called Life. We all have things to learn and experience; angels are there to ease our burdens. Just ask!
