Getting to Know Your Angels

Published by lisabeachy on

Dear friend, our journey here is not one we take alone. Angels walk with us, though we may not always see their steps. I know at times you feel lost in darkness, unable to find your way. But I assure you, you have never lost your angels. Their light burns brightly, guiding you even when the path grows dim. Listen closely for their whispers in the silence. Watch for signs, as angels speak in winks and nudges. Smell the sweet scent of roses they send to say “we are near.”

When warmth wraps around you like loving wings, your angels hold you close. Angels rejoice each time you take a step forward on your soul’s journey. Get to know them, and feel hope lift your every burden. I promise, angels already know and love you. Now, open your heart to know and love them back. This is my wish for you, dear one, as your angels cheer you on.

What are angels and why should I care about connecting with them?

Are you getting to know your angels?  I can help. Angels are divine spiritual beings that act as messengers and helpers from God/the divine. They are said to guide and protect us, while also delivering messages and insights to help us on our spiritual journeys. Connecting with angels can provide comfort, love, and support during challenging times. Angels can remind us we are never alone, restore hope, and reveal our life purpose and soul truths. By inviting angelic connection, we open ourselves to divine inspiration, wisdom and healing. The more we tune into their subtle presence and guidance with openness and gratitude, the more angels can assist us.

Angels want to help us, but will never interfere with our free will. So we have to intentionally ask for their assistance and be willing to listen. Some simple ways to start connecting are by praying, meditating, reflecting on dreams, observing natural signs and synchronicities, and being mindful of angel number sequences you notice. Journaling, creative expression like art/music, and time in nature can also help elevate your awareness of the angelic realms. As you build a relationship with your angels, continue asking for their guidance with humility and trust.

How can I know my guardian angel’s name?

Discovering your guardian angel’s name takes patience, trust and quiet introspection. Here are some methods to try:

• Meditate and visualize meeting your angel, noticing their appearance and energy. Listen for any name that comes through intuitively.
• Before sleeping, ask your angel to reveal their name in a dream. Keep a dream journal and reflect on messages received.
• Sit quietly and invite your angel to communicate their name through numbers, songs, symbols or other signs that have meaning for you.
• During prayer or meditation, simply ask your angel for their name and hold space for the answer. It may come as a sudden thought or feeling.
• Try automatic writing. Silently request your angel’s name, then write freely without thinking or judging. The name may flow through this process.
• Ask God/Universe to send you clear signs and synchronicities to reveal the name. Take note of recurring themes.

Be patient, persistent and receptive. When your angel’s name is finally revealed, take time to appreciate this sacred gift and connection.
