Can I talk to Angels?
You say you can’t speak with angels; I say you can. Meditation is one way to connect. There will always be distractions. Notice the thoughts that are coming in, acknowledge them, and let them go.
Breath, Breath, Breath. Breathe is the connection to the angelic realm. Meditation is the tool we use to communicate. Many people have told me, “I can’t meditate”. I didn’t think I could meditate either. I wouldn’t say I had many preconceived ideas about meditation, but I did think there was a right way to meditate. For example, I thought I had to sit for a long period of time, completely silent, legs folded, with my hands on my knees. I also thought I had to have a quiet mind with no thoughts at all. As a beginner meditator, it would be impossible to start, sit for an hour, and have no thoughts. It is like asking a seven-year-old who is just learning to play baseball to hit home runs. You would not have such an expectation of a child just learning a new skill. So don’t have an expectation of yourself. It takes practice, dedication, and discipline to sit for a long time with a clear mind, and only the masters can achieve such a high level of meditation.
The first time you meditate, remember to breathe. Breathing helps clear our minds and focus our attention on our physical sensations. As you inhale through your nose, feel the air come in and go through your nasal passages. Feel it as it travels into your lungs and expands your belly. As you exhale, feel your lungs deflate, and the air pass through your nasal passage and out of your nostrils. You may only be able to sit for two or three minutes. That is perfectly fine. What matters is that you sat for a few minutes to connect with your higher self, guides, and angels. Here is a little secret I learned: we all meditate without even realizing it. Have you ever found that while you were doing a mundane task, random thoughts or ideas pop into your mind?
It may be an answer to a question you were struggling with or an idea that just came out of nowhere. Those are not random thoughts; they are your angels giving you the information you need. When our conscious mind is distracted by a task we do not need to focus on, our subconscious mind can connect with our angels. This is similar to those moments just before falling asleep and just before fully waking up in the morning. In those moments, answers to a confusing situation or a question is answered. This is meditation. It is that simple.
Now that you know you can meditate and that you are not expected to sit for a specific length of time, try connecting with intention. How do you connect with intention? Use your breath to connect. As you focus on the breath, allow your body to relax. Notice any thoughts that enter your mind, let them flow through. You don’t have to ignore them, and you don’t need to spend any time addressing them. Bump them out, just as a boat on still water may bump a buoy. You may become aware of physical sensations. A prickly feeling on the skin, a tickle on your face, or a tingling on your scalp. You may also notice a word being spoken, or even see that word in your mind. You may see colors or smell a familiar scent. Notice how these thoughts or images come in as your own thoughts, but they are kinder, gentler, and not how you would normally speak to yourself. The angels will use terms unfamiliar to everyday conversation. They use terms like “Beloved”, “Dear one”, “My Child”.
Every time you connect, you will notice you can sit for a little longer than you did the last time. Remember, connecting with your angels takes dedication, practice, and patience. The more you do it, the better you will get at it. You are a beginner, and you are not expected to sit for hours with a clear mind. You may one day get to that level, and you may not. The point is to try to connect as best you can, listen, and feel for your angels when you do. Also, you may find that you connect better when you are dancing, walking, or doing another activity that lets your thoughts wander. Keep a notebook handy and write down what comes to you. In our next article, we will discuss how to connect deeper.
