BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality New Age Experiencing Angels

Hello Shadow & welcome to the forum <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Your guides & angels will get their names to you if you ask sincerely. There is more than one route to this knowledge.

You might get a message in a dream, or by synchronicity- opening books repeatedly at an angel's name for example.

You can learn to journey shamanically to meet them- that's how I met my Guide face to face. I've also had a second guide make himself known through clairvoyant clients and friends- he gave each of them a little part of the puzzle to tell me & then I had to fit the bits together and check it out.

Relax with it, they will let you know a bit at a time. I've been disovering more about my guides over years- they don't give it to you all at once- it would be too mind-blowing <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

Thank you so much for your response. Do you have a website or a specific book that may help me to know how to get started? How do I go about asking there name? Is it through meditation? Or what is the shaman way? I apologize, but I am a complete beginner at this? Thanks again for your help.

One more thing...I used to work at a photo restoration facility, I dealt with thousands of photos submitted daily. At about 3 months into the job, I had a customer call and ask about a specific photo. Before he could ask his question, I asked how long this girl had been dead? He was blown away, I guess. He had submitted the photo for one of his customers, they wanted the 'halo' to be removed from around her hairline. He let me know she had been dead for many yrs now. After submitting the photo to my artist 7 times, they would successfully remove the halo but it always came back-this is a digital file, mind you. I don't know what to think of it, except that she is meant to have her halo. This happened to me many times over the next yr. (me knowing a person had died). It got somewhat overwhelming to where I left the company. What are your thoughts on this and should I try to proceed with this more?

I was going to add meditation as a method too...you beat me to it!

There are a couple of good books you could read. I like Ruth White's books. The one I have seems to be out of print, but she has a more recent one called 'Working with Your Spirit Guides' which I would expect to contain good solid advice. Have a look at my article on guides too.
Spirit guides

On the psychic messages, you clearly do have something going on. The photo sounds very interesting! There is a thread over in the paranormal forum about spirits showing on photos- they'd be interested in what you have to say.

Meditation may develop this gift more, if you want it. I would suggest getting acquainted with your guides first.

Put out a clear intention in your mind for a spiritual teacher. Most don't advertise & you'll often find out about them through a series of 'co-incidences'! When you find someone you should find you resonate with them & feel comfortable, if not keep looking.

Thanks again, you have been very helpful. I look forward to learning more..and to interacting with everyone here. It is very interesting to read the posts on this site.

This is true Lauren. The angels are all around us. I work with them in readings and healing work. It's just the releasing of it all. Once we give them permission, they assist us in our journey.
They've manifested many things for me...especially in a few crises. However, they've done the most beautiful yet also simple things in large packages too.
It's really amazing when you just ask. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I agree. I have just been working this morning with a devout Catholic client who was worrying that when she called on God & the angels she was stopping them from helping someone else. I explained she can call on them as much as she wants, not just in extremis, as they can be with any number of people at the same time.

She was also concerned that she didn't deserve them. I explained that by saying 'I'm not good enough' you shut them out. I called on them for her and they came, which was moving for both of us. I love my line of work <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

Obviously you are understanding of how the Spirit world works.
Her concern should not be of judgement though because we are all here to work out issues in life on earth�lessons. So she should understand that we are one in the same and that simultaneously the Angels are amongst us. They are there for us�and yes, she should understand this so that she is not cut off from her higher good.
We all make error, that�s why we are in this schoolhouse of learning called Earth. This is a part of the divine plan.
I hope that she listened to your counsel. Isn't it the greatest thing that we follow our passion. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

(Sorry I got so long winded. I started out with a short explanation, but my computer crashed and so I had to start again).

I have experiences with the Angel of the Lord. I have heard from Him audibly. He speaks to me quite often. People in the general EC Community think I'm nuts! lol <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One time I was really believing God for another child. I mean. I really was convinced that it was in God's will for me to have a child even though I couldn't concieve another, I believed I was going to see a miracle! I remember one day I put my son on the bus to school and went in to do my daily Bible reading. Not an hour later, the phone rang and it was the school nurse. She said Jimmy was very sick. He had a temp of 104.5 and was throwing up. So my husband and I rushed down to the school and picked him up and were headed to the doctors office. My son was grey! His lips were turning blue and his eyes kept rolling up into his head. I began praying fervently when all of sudden everything went white! The was this loud buzzing and I couldn't see anything. I could still feel my child in my arms. Then I HEARD this booming male voice say, "Would you trade this child for another?" I shouted in the car, "No!" Everything went back to normal and my husband asked me what was the matter. I looked at Jimmy and his face was pink again, his eyes looked clear and he began to sit up again. By the time we got to the doctor and were seen, his temp was back to 98.6 and he was fine. It was as though he had never been sick at all! I will never forget this time when the Lord intervened and showed me what His will really was for my life. he told me then and there that he had given me the children in my life and that they were enough for me. This was His plan. I could alter it but I would have to sacrifice what He had already designed in order to have it. Now, I just pray for grandchildren... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have memory of seeing him in front of me. I was 4, he was talking to me "Come, lets go play outside" and i would fall asleep and fly out the window with him.

When i told my story to my father, he asked me:
- What's the name of the angel you saw?
- Melchitzedek, i said
- What? Where did you hear that name?
- He told me, dad!, as i replied wondering what was his exclamation.
- That's the name of an important king in the bible, some sort of ancient fellow who started a priesthood.

That's it, you have my story.
