Their main focus, though, is on something very important: the highest good. When they are supporting us and helping us with something, they will be doing it for our highest good.
For example, people often say to me, ‘If you can speak to angels, can’t you ask them for the lottery numbers?’ Although the joke is old, I always smile. If the angels were to give me the six numbers that were going to win the lotto jackpot that weekend, what good would come from that? Sure, it might pay off my car loan and my mortgage and anything else outstanding, but what would I learn from it?
Angels know that we’re here to learn, we’re here to understand life and ultimately to return to love. Focusing on materialism takes us further away from love and that’s not helping us in any way.
That’s not to say that angels can’t help us with finances or supporting our family – they can. Of course they’re not going to float out of a cloud with a massive wad of cash in their hand, but they’ll guide us to places and spaces where we can create abundance for ourselves, or they will get money to us that is rightfully ours.
Angels aren’t all about the material world, though. They’re more about the inner world. They are desperate for us to unlock the universal life-force within and discover who we truly are. As a student of A Course in Miracles I’ve learned that we are ultimately love. It’s everything we are, but most of the time we don’t see it. In fact it isn’t something we can see, it’s something we have to know and trust – just as we have to know and trust that angels are there for us.
I sat in meditation and asked for some of the aspects of life that angels can help us with and some of the gifts they are willing to offer us. Here are some of the things that came into my mind through my inner voice.
Abundance
An abundance of support is offered to us from heaven. In fact, knowing that there are angels just waiting to support us is one of the greatest gifts we’ll ever receive. Take a few moments for this to penetrate your awareness.
Abundance in the spiritual sense does relate to finance too. It’s our spiritual right to have enough to create a happy and comfortable life for ourselves. The key to this gift is allowing. It’s about knowing there’s enough for everyone – knowing that ‘lack’ is nothing but illusion.
Having said that, of course we’ll look at certain places in the world and see there’s ‘lack’ and ‘desperation’ there, and trust me, I know it’s hard to see and deal with. Daily I see on the internet and in the media that people are dying through starvation and lack of healthcare. It is a sadness that I believe we can change.
The change starts with us. Imagine if everyone thought like the angels, if everyone came from a space of love, if everyone believed – knew – that there was plenty for all, then there wouldn’t be hunger, starvation and lack in the world, there would be an abundance of sharing, love and care.
One of my greatest beliefs is that when we share, we receive. According to A Course in Miracles, ‘It is as blessed to give as to receive,’ and I really believe that’s true. When we share, it’s our way of saying, both internally and to the universe, ‘I know there’s enough to cover what I’m giving and sharing today.’
And the universe hears what we say. The divine angels of abundance shine their light around us and more material support is brought to us. It’s the law of cause and effect. So, let’s all be the change and share today. If we give selflessly, without holding back, we will receive.
Happiness
Happiness is our function. It’s the one thing most of us are really looking for. We want to be at peace, we want to feel comfortable, we want to enjoy life.
I’ve found that not only do angels offer us the gift of happiness but they’re attracted to us when we express it! They love to see us smile and laugh. They love high energy and are attracted to it like iron filings to a magnet. When we are low or depressed, on the other hand, a cloud gets in the way of our connection to the angels.
So, if you are feeling lonely and unsupported, watch something funny, be around friends who make you smile, do something fun! When we laugh and express joy, angels will join us.
A Course in Miracles says, ‘Be happy, for your only function here is happiness,’ and it’s true. When we lose sight of happiness, we lose our true function: to be a bringer of joy.
I really believe that’s why I love music so much. When I listen to it, I feel as though I’m lighting up. I’m ecstatic and I turn into a huge radio transmitter, beaming out happiness and joy. And angels respond. I’ve danced with friends in nightclubs to my favourite DJs and seen angels all around us. As we cut shapes and move to our favourite beats with joy in our hearts, angels encircle us. They watch us loving life and they join the party.
Invite your angels in today and thank them for being present on your love train. Thank them for bringing you the joy of life and hooking you up with your divine and only function: to be happy and express happiness. When you send out your intention, it will be heard. Prepare to laugh!
Harmony
Angels can help end conflict and bring peace. When a situation gets heated and negative, we lose touch with our true essence. Then it’s as though a shell of fear is created which blocks angels from getting in. When they’re invited in, however, their rays of love and healing wash over the situation, breaking the shell and reminding us all of who we truly are: love.
Most of the time, conflict arises from our fear and our selfishness. It is created when we see something in a different way from another person. We try to get our point across, but often don’t succeed. Communication breaks down, anger sets in, grievances take place and love is forgotten.
In this state, we can end up asking ourselves many questions, especially when we feel we’re hitting a brick wall, everything from ‘Do they understand my point?’ to ‘Why can’t they see how I feel?’
My favourite question comes from A Course in Miracles: ‘Would you rather be right or happy?’ I certainly know the answer to that one!
Angels encourage us to stop fighting, to stand down in the heat of the moment and to take ourselves away from the conflict. Sure, they tell us to stand up for our beliefs, but in the heat of an argument we’ll never get through. We have to do it another way.
We can call on angels to bring harmony and peace to a situation of course, but when we do that we have to trust, we have to believe, we have to surrender. When we surrender, we take a step back and allow the divine to take its course. We allow the angels to perform their duties and miracles.
The one thing that angels are dedicated to is fairness. They won’t ensure we ‘win’ an argument, but they will bring in harmony, peace and fairness so that we can all move on with our lives.
If we feel that someone should be punished for something, or pay a karmic debt, then we are unfortunately coming from the wrong space. When someone is doing something harmful or something we don’t like, they are coming from a space of fear, so we must bless them and pray for their return to love. If we want negative things to happen to them then we too are far from being our true self.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the key to all our challenges. It is a bridge to a deeper awareness of the divine and ultimately ourselves. When we don’t forgive, we allow toxicity to build up in the core of our being and resentment will begin to grow.
Resentment is a huge barrier, it’s like the Great Wall of China, and we can’t see over it. This huge wall stands between us and love.
When we find it difficult to forgive, we are seeing ourselves as separate from God. We are never separate from God, but resentment can make us think so.
If you find forgiveness challenging, angels can help you. These divine beings will help you see through their eyes – and they never hold any grievances.
Most people avoid forgiveness because they feel it means they’re letting someone get away with bad behaviour. But according to the angels, forgiveness is an act of self-love, because when we forgive another person, or even ourselves, we let go of resentment and toxic thoughts, and these thoughts and feelings can cause more problems than we can even imagine. It’s time to see the truth.
When I started to work with angels I was stubborn, and 11 years later I’m still stubborn, but I have learned the value of forgiveness. I didn’t really understand what forgiveness was at first, but I knew it needed to take place. It has allowed me to see clearly, it has allowed me to experience life and it has opened the doors to peace.
The angels are encouraging you now to let go of your shoulda, woulda, coulda thoughts. It’s time to let fear out and love in. It’s time to forgive.
Even if you don’t know how to forgive, you can ask the angels to show you how. All you need is the willingness to forgive and they’ll be with you every step of the way. Just think about it: would you rather have the toxicity of challenges or the freedom that forgiveness brings? Now is the time!
Exercise: Forgiveness
* Take some time to think about the gifts that angels have to offer. Are there any areas of your life where you would like their help? If so, welcome them in. Thank them in your own way for shining the light of their presence on the people, place or situation and allow them to help.
*Are you feeling that an area of your life is blocked?
* Ask yourself this very important question: ‘Who do I need to forgive?’
* The first person that comes into your mind is the person the angels are encouraging you to forgive. Take time to send them love. You can do this by imagining them surrounded in a pink healing light. Once you have done this, you can tell them in your mind that you have set them free, that you have forgiven them (and that person can be you, too).
