I love the topic of Angels! It always gets my blood pumping! Angels, or spirit guides, are the Higher Power/God's "little helpers", if you would. They are assigned to us to help us through the difficult journey of life. It's not uncommon for Spirit guides to have known us in one or more past lives. They're often good friends tied to our souls by Love. Of course, Angels are free beings and aren't completely bound to us. And they've got to help us through our lives because they're the ones that chose to do it! Spirits communicate through telepathic means(mind-to-mind). With an open mind and heart, you can mentally ask a question to your Spirit Guide, and don't be surprised if you get something back. They often know your questions before you ask them! You can meditate to see or recognize your Angels. It may take some time for you to say "That's him/her!" or you might know them right away. When you figure it out, it will be an uplifting experience. I met my Angel through a meditation. It was like a dream, really. She appeared to me in rays of white and golden light-I knew it was her! She had an elegant cream-colored robe on with a burgundy sash. I knew her name almost immediately. Now I've always been spiritual. Your experience might be just like mine or a billion times different. Each and every person will meet their Angel in a different way; they are specially matched to you. But don't forget to thank them for their hard work, because they've been here too!
