Anita was on holiday with her husband and two children. Their little daughter played happily all day in the hotel swimming pool but their nine-year old son hated the water and refused to swim. For the first ten days of their holiday he was bored and miserable. On the tenth day, as she sunbathed by the pool, Anita was reading my A Little Light on Angels. Suddenly she realized that the angels might be able to help her son. She closed her eyes, made herself calm and mentally asked the angels to help him overcome his fear of the water. Then she continued to read. Five minutes later her husband nudged her and whispered, ???Look!??? Their son was playing happily in the water and she knew that an angel was holding him. From that day he loved swimming and now has all his swimming certificates.

We all know that dogs can hear frequencies that are out of our auditory range and that cats can see things that are invisible to us. Angels are higher beings who exist at a frequency, which is normally beyond our range of vision and hearing. However, they are near us all the time.

If it is not your destiny to suffer or your time to die, your Guardian Angel will step in and save you. In South Africa a lady shared with me an experience she had as a teenager. She was diving into their swimming pool one evening and was in mid air with her hands almost touching the water, when she felt herself being lifted up and gently returned to the diving board. At that moment all the lights in the house went on. Terrified, she grabbed her wrap and ran inside. Later her father went down to the pool with her and discovered that the overhead electric cable had broken and fallen into the water. Then she realized the angels had intervened to save her.

Every single person has their own Guardian Angel, who is with them throughout all their lives. Their task is to hold the vision of your divine perfection and remind you of this constantly. They whisper to you of harmony, truth and integrity. If you are in dispute with someone your Guardian Angel is holding hands with the other person???s angel, in perfect love. If you cannot resolve a problem, they hold the vision of the highest outcome, making it possible for you to achieve it. However badly we behave they love us unconditionally.

Angels want to help us but under Spiritual Law they cannot do so unless we ask. Their greatest delight is to smooth your life. Nothing is too small or too large. For example, they will help you to shop for perfect presents, drive safely or to find lost items.

If you sense that someone is in danger you can mentally ask their angel to look after them. Your thoughts then create a bridge of light, which allows their angel to help. If it is possible under Spiritual Law to assist, they will do so. However they cannot change the Divine Plan or prevent someone from having an experience their soul needs for growth.

A friend told me that she was very worried about her daughter, who was being bullied at school. Worry is a gray, negative energy, which can surround a sensitive person like a cloud and open them to problems and danger. I suggested that she sat quietly twice a day and picture her child, happy and safe, surrounded by golden light. Then ask her angel to protect her. I met the child two weeks later and asked her how school was going. She beamed from ear to ear and told me that the bully had left school. His parents had suddenly moved away. Angels can create unexpected solutions for our problems.

It really does not matter whether you pray directly to God for help or talk to your angels. Your angel is the intermediary between you and God, who deals with your requests anyway. However it is really wonderful to have a personal relationship with your angel and it helps to know their name. A name has a vibration and calling your angel by its name helps you to feel closer. An angel???s name can be anything from a down to earth, Fred to an exotic sounding, Francescina. If you are given the name of an Archangel, like Gabriel, you and your angel are connected to the ray of that particular Archangel.

Your aura is the electromagnetic field, which surrounds you and is influenced by your thoughts. . If you are sending out rage and hate your aura will most likely be full of red and black daggers. Many years ago I met a lady who told me that she wanted more love in her life so each day she visualized her aura being a radiant pink. I decided that I would try this exercise as I needed wisdom and vitality so for two days I visualized golden orange surrounding me. Then a stranger approached me and said, ???I do so admire the golden orange glow around you!??? It is very difficult for angels to connect with you if your emotions are upset and jangly. They can help you more easily if your aura is calm and golden, so if you wish to connect with your angel take time to centre yourself and breathe the color gold around you before you talk to them.

Exercise to connect with your Guardian Angel

Sit quietly and relax, with your eyes closed. Take a few minutes to breathe the color gold around you. Mentally ask your Guardian Angel to step into your aura and touch you. Expect a physical sensation, or a fragrance or feeling of great love. Ask your Guardian Angel???s name. Accept the first name that comes to you. Calmly ask for any help you need. Thank your Guardian Angel.
