BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality New Age Experiencing Angels

I remember when I first wanted to connect with my angels. I wasn't sure how to do it, and thought I should be able to see them as solidly as a person. I went to this class on how to meet your angel guide. Everyone else seemed so knowledgeable, talking about how they spoke with their angels, and how their angels helped them. We did a meditation to get the name of our angel. We went around the room and people would say things like "ooh, my angel is named Gabrielle," or "my angel is Isabella," etc. Of course everyone had these totally cool angel names. My angels name was Howard. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> The class facilitator laughed and said "oh, you got the funny one!" LOL.

Now communicating with my angels is much easier because I don't try to be so serious about it <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" />

What sort of angel experiences have you all had?

Where can you look for classes like the one that you took?

Hi Shari,

I happened to take this class at a local new age shop called Good Scents. The store closed a few years ago, but we still have other shops around. Even our church, a Unity church, offers classes on connecting with angels (and now I get to teach them!) so I think really it may be pretty easy to find the information if you know where to look. I'd try metaphysical stores and metaphysical churches (like Unity, Science of Mind and Unitarian Universalist).

Hope that helps!

I like the 'unglamorous name' anecdote. I had the same when I first heard the name of my main spirit guide. I saw him in my mind's eye (very Aragorn like!) in celtic dress with sword & shield & asked for his name. The name I got sounded very dull & not even very 'name-like' so I disregarded it. Straight afterwards I opened a book- not one of mine, I was at a friend's house- & there was his name staring out right in front of me- a celtic king- and a legend about him.

I have had what I think must have been an angel experience- although I believe they are around us whether we notice or not. I wrote mine up as the last post on this thread. Angelic encounters You might have some insight into it with your angel work.

I've also had angels intervene in healings. The most memorable was an energetic heart transplant they did for a very clairvoyant client- she saw them take out her old heart & fly the new heart in. I just had to keep my hands very still for them to work through me. That one had amazing benefits & she felt fantastic afterwards!

Lauren, I enjoy your insightful articles and posts.

For me angels are of the spiritual realm but I've had them manifest in human form in dire straits I've gotten myself into over the years.

I like the little prayer I learned as a child -

Angel of God, <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" /> my guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard,
To rule and guide. Amen.

Thank you Susan <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

The angels have been around me especially strongly over the last couple of weeks.

Has anyone had experiences of Archangel Uriel out of interest?

I did have an experience with Archangel Uriel. It was a sort of an initiatory experience I think ::<img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />:: Whatever it was, it was amazing. I've grown quite fond of working with him.

He comes in many forms, and sometimes he even posts anonymously in forums. Right Dave?

[color:"blue"] [/color] Help! I am new to this..but have always known that there was alot more. Being from Utah and raised in the Mormon church, (inactive for several yrs now), it is very difficult to find a support group or a live source for help. I would like to know how you find the name of your angel or guide. What are the steps or the process to receive this knowlege? I have always known since I was quite young that there is much more to this world we live in, but have been shunned because of answers that are not able to be given me through the church that I have always known or dealt with. Can you give me some kind of insite or maybe a book or website that can give me some step by step directions on how to proceed? I appreciate the help from anyone out there. Thanks so much.
