Introduction When I was 6 years old, angels lifted me out of my body and into the heart of the cosmos. I was shown colours and geometric shapes not found on Earth. Angelic music played and filled my soul with unspeakable joy. I felt loved and safe. The angels gave me this gift so that I would always know there was another reality… a more real and eternal reality. This outofbody experienced sustained me through an abusive childhood and helped me hold onto hope later in life too when things got tough but it wasn’t the last I heard from my angels... At age 15, I was miraculously saved from a rapist by my Guardian Angel who lifted him off me (yes, really!!) so I could escape even though he had pinned me down and was much larger than me. After a healing crisis at age 27, I become attuned once more to angelic energy and gradually began to perceive angels in subtle ways. At age 33, my Guardian Angel introduced himself by name as I was drifting off to sleep. I owe the angels my life. If it weren’t for some of the experiences they granted me, I would probably have checked out and I certainly wouldn’t have a clue about my Life Purpose. Life can be very harsh and it is easy to get lost in a world that preaches material success at the cost of pretty much anything else. This free guide is my way of giving back a little because I have been so blessed by the Angels. It will help you connect with your angels and align with your Life Purpose too, beloved Earth Angel!

How To Connect With Your Guardian Angel in 7 Easy Steps Did you know that 38% of people here in Britain believe in guardian angels? The
number might seem surprisingly high today’s secularised society but many people who
never set foot inside a church have experienced some kind of presence in their lives
that they cannot explain away.
On the flip side, the popularity of angels has also lead to it being a growing ‘New Age
Industry’ and the monetization of angels does not sit well with many people who are
becoming increasingly aware of $$$grabbing selfmade ‘gurus’ who are trying to
charge for ancient wisdom that used to be freely available to everyone pre patriarchy.
Good news: You don’t need to read books or attend classes to connect with your
guardian angel! You just need to go within. It’s all there already. The following 7 Simple
Steps may facilitate making the connection…
* Make sure that you will be undisturbed for 3060 minutes
* Create a clean and inviting space so that you can relax fully
* Light a candle with the intent of connecting with your Guardian Angel
* Take a few deep breaths, close your eyes and relaaaax deeply
* Mentally ask your Guardian Angel to make him/herself known (they are genderless
beings but can choose to appear as a certain gender)
* In a relaxed state you may sense a gentle tingling, see some colours flash before your
third eye and even hear your angel
* Enter into dialogue with your angel – Ask anything you wish to know, such as your
angel’s name… any advice your angel may have for you etc. Close the dialogue with
gratitude for your angel’s loving presence in your life and know that you can always
return to this sacred space.
You may also like to make a note of your Angelic encounter in your journal.
My own Guardian Angel made himself known to me one afternoon while I was napping,
so (contrary to what some would have you believe) they can sometimes pop in
uninvited. As I started drifting off to sleep, I could feel a warm and loving presence
hovering above my bed.
I asked his (although gender is not really an issue with angels) name and was given
‘Jeremiel’ – this was before I even knew who all the Archangels were and I had to
Google Jeremiel to find out more! Some people say that Archangels cannot also be
Guardian Angels but I know this to not be so, and I know of others too who have
Archangels for Guardians.
The fact that it was Jeremiel who made contact and not the other way around also busts
the myth that you have to ask for them to make contact. This really should not come as
a surprise if you consider that every angelic encounter and dialogue in the Bible was
initiated by the angels rather than the people involved!
I have since been given information that the Archangels are like divine messenger
nodes in the Matrix and that the energy they project into 3D (which is far too dense for
them) is just that – a projection, which allows them to take any form.
Whoever your Guardian Angel turns out to be, please know that there is no job too
small or too big for them to help out with, so talk to them frequently!
7 Morning Rituals to Infuse Your Day with Angelic Energy
Are your mornings serene, joyful and filled with selfcare… or are you running around
like a headless chicken like so many of us? One of the main prerequisites to getting
your day off to a great start is rising early enough so that you do not have to rush. Your
angels are on board with that too. They would like some attention before you head out
for the day. The angels have countless blessings to share with you… and all they ask of
you in return is a bit of time and some mindfulness.
Below you will find seven of my favourite ways to infuse my day with angelic energy
and the qualities of love and peace…
* Already sipping on lemon water first thing in the morning? GREAT! However, you can
make it even better by asking archangel Jophiel (angel of beauty) to bless it and to
purify, balance and make every cell of your body as beautiful as possible (in the
angelic sense, not in the size 0 model sense) so that you can radiate your pure light into
the world.
* Greeting the Sun is another wonderful way to invoke angelic energy, as well as
connect with Nature. Archangel Michael is the ruler of the Sun. He is the chief
archangel and protects anyone in need because he, like all the angels because they are
not bound by time or matter, can be in many places at once. Thank him for allowing the
sun to rise another day and ask for his protection throughout the day.
* The Lunar angel is archangel Gabriel. He rules Monday and the main flower
associated with him is jasmine. Try swapping your morning cuppa for some organic
green tea with jasmine and invoke his blessing. As ruler of the Moon, he can help you
stay in tune with higher intuitive guidance and to hear any angelic messages you may
be getting during the day clearly.
* If you have time, you might also want to light some incense. I recommend sandalwood
for invoking archangel Uriel and the angels of Peace but feel free to use any scent
that makes you feel at peace. There are even readymade blends for each of the
archangels that you can buy online. Offer up a prayer for peace within self and in the
world as you light your choice of incense. Personally, I like to keep it simple and use
joss sticks because they are easy to get hold of, cheap and do the job. Recently I have
fallen in love with handmade Tibetan incense, made by monks. It is slightly more
expensive but creates a wonderful uplifting energy in the room.
* Play some angelic music and invoke the blessing of archangel Sandalphon. Yes,
there will still be mornings when you want to rock it out to Pink or Maroon 5 because
you have moves like Jagger but on days you feel extra stressed, it may be a better
option to start your day with some serene tunes that help you relax and just breathe…
* Speaking of which, why not take 5 minutes and do a healing breath meditation with
Archangel Raphael? Raphael is the ruler of the Element of Air and the main Healing
Angel. Feel free to have some soft music playing in the background for this. (Trust me,
Maroon 5 is not best choice for this.)
All you need to do is sit or lie comfortably. Ask archangel Raphael to help you release
any energetic blocks before you begin… Focus on the sensation of the air going in and
out of your nostrils for a few minutes. Use the breath to completely clear your mind. Any
time your mind strays, simply bring it back to the sensation of cool dry air going in and
warmer, moister air flowing out through your nostrils. Do not force your breath, simply
observe. End the meditation by giving thanks to Raphael and bring yourself back to the
room at a pace that feels comfortable. Now you have a clear head and are ready to
make plans for the day!
* The archangel to call on for help with workrelated plans and for sticking to your goals
is archangel Cassiel, ruler of Saturn. Please be mindful that he will only work with you
if you are willing to stay disciplined about achieving your goals – no freebies with this
rather stern angels.
Archangels Cassiel and Raphael can also help you stay on track with your morning
workout. Call on Cassiel if you feel like bailing on your routine and Raphael for help
with finding the best type of exercise for your body type and any particular health
concerns you may have.
Crystals and Prayers for the Seven Core Chakra Archangels
As we begin the journey of ascension and open up to have all 12 chakras activated, we
must first align the seven core chakras. The Archangels can help with this. To connect
fully and clear any energy blocks, you can use crystals and prayers for each of the
chakras. The prayers are meant to be spoken out loud, as the sound vibration of your
voice enables further clearing/healing.
It is great if you can hold the crystals one by one or place them on your chakras as you
do this exercise but you do not need to have all the crystals mentioned at hand. It is
enough to visualise the colour of each chakra. You do need some time to ground and
centre before you begin. Make sure that you will not be disturbed. Light a candle and
invoke the protection of your Guardian Angel. Light some incense if you like.
Sandalwood or frankincense work will for clearing your energy and raising your
vibration.
Visualise each chakra in turn, starting with the root chakra. Breathe into the chakra
deeply, three times (in through your nose and out through your mouth). Set the intent to
use your out breath to clear any blockages. Then say the prayer for that chakra out
loud. Spend a minute feeling the difference before you continue to the next chakra.
The correspondences below may or may not resonate with you. That is OK. You are
free to ask your angels and do your own research. It is not important that we all have
identical beliefs but it is important that we align ourselves with and give expression to
that which we believe and have tasted/experienced for ourselves.
For a while, I was confused about how the Angel ruler of Mars, Samael/Chamuel, could
be the angel of the Earth/Root chakra, while Uriel (ruler of North/Earth) is the angel of
the Solar Plexus/Fire chakra. Then it clicked that this is how the Archangels help us
pierce the illusion and experience the ‘As above, so below.’ Also, the Fire of the
Root/Earth chakra is found in the kundalini (sexual/creative) energy which will rise
through all chakras as blocks are cleared. Archangel Uriel rules Earth but is a an angel
of pure Fire and brilliant light. He can help us stabilise the often volatile third chakra with
his angels of peace. However, if this does not resonate, I urge you to find
correspondences that work for you.
1. Root Chakra (red) Archangel Samael (aka Chamuel). Hematite, ruby, red jasper
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Chamuel for my root
chakra. MotherFather God, be my strength and my foundation. Amen
2. Sacral Chakra (orange) Archangel Gabriel. Carnelian, moonstone
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Gabriel for my sacral
chakra. Bless all my relationships with truth. Amen
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow) – Archangel Uriel. Yellow calcite, citrine
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Uriel for my solar plexus
chakra. Help me radiate the peace of God into the world. Amen
4. Heart Chakra (green) – Archangel Raphael. Green aventurine.
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Raphael for my heart
chakra. Help me see all of creation with the angel eyes of unconditional love. Amen
5. Throat Chakra (blue) – Archangel Michael. Aqua aura, blue calcite, blue aventurine
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Michael for my throat
chakra. Help me express my Higher Self in all my communication. Amen
6. Third Eye Chakra (indigo) Archangel Zadkiel (aka Sachiel). Sugilite, lapis lazuli
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Zadkiel for my third eye
chakra. Open my third eye to see the reality beyond the illusion. Amen
7. Crown Chakra (purple/white) – Archangel Jeremiel. Amethyst, clear quartz
Prayer: I invoke the healing power and protection of Archangel Jeremiel for my crown
chakra. Transmute all obstacles to oneness and help me align with my Life Purpose.
Amen
Once you have completed the exercise, seal your aura off with any colour light you feel
drawn to work with. Trust your own intuitive guidance on this and don’t be afraid to
experiment. Try doing this exercise first thing in the morning for seven days and watch
your life change!
Dreamwork with the Angels
The angels love to connect with us in dreamtime because that is when we are in a
totally relaxed state and free to interact outside the body. Make it a habit to invoke the
protection of Archangel Michael before falling asleep and the assistance of Archangel
Gabriel with dream interpretation, as well as with any healing work you might be doing
for self and/or others while sleeping.
To make sure you do not miss any important dream messages, take the following steps:
● Set the intent to remember your dreams and ask your Guardian Angel to help.
● Keep a dream journal or recording device by your bedside.
● When you first wake up, lie still with your eyes closed and press your inner
‘replay button,’ revisiting the dream in as great a detail as you possibly can.
● Write it all down and don’t worry about trying to make sense of it at this stage.
● Close with a prayer to Archangel Gabriel for help with the interpretation.
● Revisit the dream journal entry in the evening and write down your interpretation.
Bear in mind that not all dreams contain prophetic messages. There is a particular type
of dream that does carry VERY important messages though and this is a ‘dream vision’
You will know it by how real it seems. So real, in fact, that when you wake up reality
seems dull by comparison. This happens when the angels have an important message
for you OR when someone who loves you is saying hello from heaven.
My personal experience of the latter happened a few years after my grandmother has
passed. She visited me in my dream, looking younger and healthier. She took me by the
hand and showed me her garden in Heaven. She had been a keen gardener in real life
too but nothing could compare me for the beauty she share with me in that dream.
Waking up was painful. I just didn’t want to leave. This was almost 25 years ago and I
still remember… and that is how you know it was a dream vision. Normal dreams fade
fast… not so with dream visions and visitations.
People who have the ability to guide their loved ones in Spirit like this are known as
dream weavers. Their main Archangel is Gabriel and he is the one you should turn to if
you would like to learn this skill for doing healing work while out of the body in
dreamtime another thing dream weavers are able to do.
Keep a piece of selenite under your pillow or on your bedside table to facilitate angelic
dream recall or to enhance your dream weaving skills. It might also be worth clearing
your chakras each night before you go to sleep so that you can be a clear channel for
dream work and interpretation if this is something that interests you.
Your Angel Altar Ideally, you would have a whole room in your house for prayer, healing and meditation… but let’s keep it real not many of us are in that position. What you can do instead is create a strong focal point for angelic energy an Angel Altar that you can visit any time you want to connect with the Angels. And you don’t have to stick to just ONE! You can have one in the living room and one in the bedroom if you like. If you are a true angel lover, you will probably have angelic reminders dotted all around the house. However, the altar is different it is sacred space and what goes on it matters… so what would you put on your Angel Altar? It is entirely up to you whether you would like to keep it very simple and just keep a candle or two and your angel communication crystal on the altar. For those ceremonially inclined, it is nice to have a representation of the Angels of the Cardinal directions: Uriel (North), Raphael (East), Michael (South) and Gabriel (West). This can be done by either placing candles or crystals in the four directions. Candle correspondences for the Elemental angels: Uriel: White Raphael: Green Michael: Gold Gabriel: Blue Crystal correspondences for the Elemental angels: Uriel: Clear quartz or yellow calcite Raphael: Green aventurine or peridot Michael: Amber or lapis lazuli Gabriel: Moonstone or carnelian You can also decorate your altar with angel statues, bells, incense and flowers. A nice touch is to choose an altar cloth that represents the colour of your own Guardian Angel. It is also ideal if you can keep your Angel Oracle or Tarot cards on the altar, as well as the journal you use to write down any messages you receive from your angels.
Your Angel Communication Crystal After you have made contact with your Guardian Angel, you can go shopping with him. Ask him to guide you to the best crystal to help raise your vibration and receive clear messages from him. When buying a crystal, how to choose depends on what your strongest clair is. If you are claircognizant, you may just walk into the shop and know. If you are clairvoyant, the crystal that wants to be with you will stand out visually. If you are clairsentient, you are probably best off using the palm of your for scanning the crystals until you get a ‘hit’ through a tingling sensation or a difference in temperature compared with surrounding crystals. A clairaudient would typically hear either the name of the crystal or ‘that one!’ as your eyes rest on your crystal. After you bring your crystal home, you need to cleanse it. There are several methods for doing this. Most crystals are OK to cleanse under the tap but some crystals, such as selenite, will erode under water. Personally, I like to place the crystal in a glass bowl and cover it with filtered tap water to which I add a pinch of sea salt. I would leave it out in the moonlight over night on a full moon. For selenite, I would gently wipe the crystal with a soft cloth and then pass it through some frankincense or sandalwood incense. Some people like to bury their crystals in the ground to properly cleanse and recharge them with the energy of Earth. Others prefer passing them swiftly through the flame of a candle. Choose the method that most appeals to you. Once the crystal has been cleansed you can begin using it for angel communication in meditation. Simply sit quietly and focus on your breath to ground and centre, then ask your angel for any messages they may have for you.
Doing a Daily Angel Oracle/Tarot Draw as a Spiritual Practice Whether or not you believe in the power of the cards to tell fortunes or not, Angel Oracle
and Tarot cards make wonderful tools for connecting with your own intuitive guidance.
You can make this a daily spiritual practice at the start of each new day. This practice
will bring you a host of benefits if you do it the right way, i.e. mindfully. Here are a five
tips that will enable mindfulness for your daily draw.
1. Create the right ambiance for mindful contemplation by lighting a candle and maybe
some incense. Some people prefer silence and others soft meditation music playing in
the background to drown out noise pollution. Feel free to experiment.
2. Use your breath to relax your body and clear your mind. Take a minute to allow the
breath to ground and centre your energy. Breathe in light and breathe out love until you
feel that your energy field is clear and your body relaxed.
3. Set the intention to receive clear guidance for the highest good of all. Ask for this ‘…
in Love and Light’ out loud three times to create a strong energetic resonance and
attract only pure divine guidance.
4. Keep a journal. It’s worth revisiting any thoughts you popped down in the evening for
further insights.
5. Remind yourself often. Place the card where you can see it clearly and be
reminded throughout the day. Your Angel Altar would be the ideal place for this.
If you are new to the Tarot but curious about using it for your daily Angel card draw, I
recommend the Angel Tarot Deck or the Archangel Power Tarot by Doreen Virtue as
the meanings are written on the cards. There is also a book, The BIG Book of Angel
Tarot, by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine about the symbology specific to the
Angel Tarot Deck, astrological correspondences, reading tips, spreads and more.
As for Angel Oracle decks, there are so many to choose from. Having a few different
ones to is like having access to more than one spiritual teacher… I have listed some of
my favourites below:
* The Angels of Atlantis – Nice big cards without winged humanoids. Ideal for those of
you who prefer to see angels represented by light and colour, as well as for anyone with
an interest in sound healing.
* Daily Guidance from Your Angels Oracle Cards – Gentle angelic guidance. There is a
companion book but usually, it is enough to just read the message on the card and
allow your own intuitive guidance to do the rest.
* Angels of Light Cards – For those who are more interested in the message than the
artwork. The backs are all the same and the fronts only have text on them. Very uplifting
messages.
* The Archangel Oracle Cards – Doreen Virtues classic Angel oracle, with three
messages each from the 15 Archangels she works with.
* Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards – Wonderful for understanding the angelic lessons
relating to each chakra. The stories channelled from the Angelic Realm by Tori Hartman
really bring the lessons home.
Once you have the right tools and set the intent for the highest good, you can expect
the following 7 benefits from your daily draw practice:
● Greater alignment with your Life Purpose. Trust synchronicity to guide you on
your Path and it WILL happen!
● A sense of peace. You will have a feeling of being looked after by the Universe
(which is true because you ARE!) and this will help you relax into your beingness
with a greater sense of peace.
● Things will make more sense. The daily draw will help you connect the dots
throughout the day, speeding up synchronicity.
● Improved relationships. If you heed the advice given, your relationships will
take on another dimension as you become more mindful about your interactions.
● Improved imagination and creativity. As you connect with the card intuitively
you will begin using your imagination more and more – especially if you dialogue
with the card. Try ‘talking’ to a character in the card, asking them what message
they have for your highest good, just for today. Being curious about the colours
and symbols used in the cards helps too. You may find that this daily exercise of
your intuitive faculties inspires creativity on many levels.
● Objectivity. Striving to understand the card message on a deep level and the
greater context of all that is happening in your life will help you to stop taking
things personally.
● Increased happiness levels. Because all of the above means that you are
honouring your soul’s wisdom, you will begin radiating who you truly are… and
deep, deep down we are all pure joy, beauty and love.
