There are definitely benefits to having an angel, especially when you are in trouble and you REMEMBER to ask them to help or intervene.
It's definitely worth a shot of asking for assistance - in any situation, life threatening or not.
Can someone on here prove to me that angels do not exist? I don't think so. Just like I cannot prove they do exist. For me, in my reality angels have literally been a god send.
I started a dialogue with my 'angels' around 10 years ago, when I wasn't really sure if they actually were real. Doreen Virtue books allowed me to explore this in what I felt was a safe manner. I'd seen shadows and invisible entities and been extremely sensitive to energies all my life, and now I was asking these so called 'angels' to come and give me a sign. And I left it at that. That was all, just a sign. I had purchased a pack of Angel Oracle Cards and left them on my bed...(yehhh feather heaven!!!) and when I got back after dinner that night there was a perfectly placed feather on the deck, where I either had to question my sanity OR, accept it as some kind of sign. I still have that feather to this day.
So, I took it from there and I asked them to give me consistent signs in groups of 3 - for example, If you are hearing me speak to me, please give me the same sign that I cannot dismiss 3 times. Meanwhile I was driving and kept just happening to glance and see car number plates with 333, 444, 555 etc on them. After a while I came to realise that this was one of my signs. Especially when on one very short journey I would see every combination from 111 up to 999 in the one 10 minute drive. OR, I would hear the same song 3 times in the same day with specific phrases that meant something to me.
It all just went on like that until I started seeing them in my mind's eye, and outside as sparkly lights in varying colours. I then heard them speaking to me in my mind. As part of the energy healing work I do, I connect in with other people's angels and pass on messages pertinent to that person at the time.
In recent years I started to drive home in a snowstorm and my car slid off as if it were about to hit the offramp central reservation, but it kept on going sliding down the offramp. I actually thought I was about to lose my life and then I was like - Oh freak...Angels angels angels angels. My car and me went into some kind of slow motion and it came very gracefully (while the back end was spinning out) to a halt right at the end of the slip road before a large roundabout. I will never forget that, they most definitely assisted me that night. At the time, I realised I had dreamt about my own head hitting the car windscreen just one week prior. It was the car I hadn't been driving, so I thought the dream was strange.
Angels can't text us or lift the phone to say hi....therefore they have to be very creative to communicate and do so when you start to speak with them and build up a trusting relationship. You are not handing any of your power over to angels, but you are thanking them for assisting you in this life, and for helping you to achieve certain things. Also, if you require emotional comfort or healing, all you have to do is ask.
You have to ask, that is all.
Then observe and let them know when you get their signs. It's an adventure that you will never forget, and in many cases you will be led directly to things that make your heart smile, and not just get parking spaces, you might ask them to give you the vibe on where you might find that special dress, or you may ask them to watch over your child as he or she sleeps at night. You may be lucky enough to see the room where your child sleeps filled with sparkly lights of a beautiful purple colour, and just say thanks for their presence there. Meanwhile, your optician agrees: you don't have eye problems because retina issues don't present as sparkly magenta/purple/yellow/green/golden/etc lights seen by both eyes.
I couldn't quite explain to my parents what exactly I was seeing or sensing from people when I was a young girl, and now I can communicate with my father from wherever he currently is in this universe. It wasn't sparkly lights back then though, I felt fearful of things and could sense vibes from others. Children can and do see angels, as they can see passed on loved ones. You don't have to be 5, it doesn't matter what age you are.
My point is this, and always has been: I love each and every one of you for being here - I would never disregard or make fun of your beliefs, as I have never been in your shoes, and I have never been you. I am here, sharing my story like many others, and if you feel drawn to angels, then just you start chatting to them.
See what happens, that is all.
