SPIRIT GUIDES AND ANGELS
There are so many reports reguarding Sprit Guides and Guardian Angels, it would be hard to doubt their existance. The Bible mentions several angels, such as Archangles Gabriel and Michael, as well as the multitude that heralded the birth of Jesus. What are these wonderful helpers from the Other Side, and how do we contact them? Read on:
Angels are by far the most famous of the Heavenly Sprits. According to the Bible, Angels are "God's Messangers". Indeed, any time God had an important message to send to man, he sent one or many angels to bring the tidings. We all have guardian angels assigned to us. How many depends on the situation in your life. If things are basically calm, you may have one watching out for you. If there is a particular danger coming into your future, there may be a team of angels watching out for you. Angels have no real emotions and no free will. They are extentions of God's love and power to us.
Spirit Guides are only now receiving the recognition they deserve, having been confused with angels for centuries. A guide is a spiritual being, just like you and me. At one time, they were living human beings on this Earthly Dimension. Now, they are either between lives, or have finished with their lessons and have chosen to be teachers. On the Other Side, we knew our spirit guides as friends. While that memory has not followed us to this lifetime, they remain our friends and try in subtle ways to contact us. You may hear a song on the radio just at the right time, or feel a presence and be alone. That is them. They teach us, protect us, and visit us often. They provide us with inspirations and creative ideas when we are at a standstill. Unlike angels, they have human emotions, and can provide us with a huge amount of love and fellowship.
Learning to meditate is the quickest path. While we meditate, we turn off part of our conscious mind, allowing us to hear the spiritual voices or see spiritual beings. Before meditating, light a candle and ask your angels and guides to become known to you. Don't be surprised if you only meet one at the first attempt. Everyone has more than one of both Spirit Guides and Angels assigned to them by the Divine Spirit, and they can be of great help to us.
I met my guardian angel, Candace, first. She comes to me every night and pets my hair as I'm falling asleep. I have felt this sensation every night that I can remember, but never knew who or what was doing that. One saturday, after reading about angels, I tried contacting her through meditation. Sure enough, she appeared to me. She was with me through so very trying times, and has kept me sane. My spirit guides I met later. The first one who appeared to me was Lydia. She is my principle guide, and I now see her everytime I meditate. I have two more whom I have met: "Daisy", an ancestor of mine who teaches me strength; and "Bear Claw", an Native American who gives me deeper spiritual guidance.
