Angelic Inspirations

My Story

The first angel experience that I can vividly remember was at the age of seven.I had gone to bed upset and was tossing and turning in my sleep when suddenly abrilliant light entered the room. At first I felt very frightened as I had no idea what it was, and in that instant, the light took the form of an angel; it appeared very translucent. I felt enormous amounts of love wash over me and I heardthe angel say to me that Everything was going to be okay. The message was very simple and comforting. But what really comforted me was the loving energy I felt that went beyond all of my senses and fully connected me to the overwhelming loveof the angels.

Another memory is from when I was eight or nine years old. I remember looking inthe mirror and feeling like an ugly duckling I had freckles and I was skinny. Ialways felt different like I never fit in but never understood why. The next moment, I was shown a vision of my adult self and saw an extremely confident and b

eautiful blonde woman who was dressed so cool. I was surrounded by large audiences and was told my job on earth was to help other people. I immediately protestedand said that could not possibly be me. I never imagined that I could be that confident or beautiful. Again I was shown the same vision and this time they showed me clearing customs at many airports around the world. I kept these visions tomyself and told no one, not even my sister Diane, who was and still is one of my best friends to this day.

Renowned angel author and teacher, Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., tells us in her book TheLight Workers Way, that Light Workers are those who volunteered before birth tohelp the planet and its population heal from the effects of fear. Each Light Worker is here for a sacred purpose. Very often, however, life on earth, with its material focuses, creates a form of amnesia in Light Workers. They forget their d

ivine and perfect identities, and also forget their ability to miraculously helpthe earth and all living creatures. When Light Workers forget their true identity and purpose, they feel lost and afraid. Like something is missing but they dont know what it is.

Although I realize now that the angels had always been guiding and helping me, Ididnt have another profound angel vision until I was twenty-two years old. It was then I received a very strong message to clean up my act and to stop drinking.New Zealand has a party culture and drinking is perfectly normal and socially acceptable. I had been partying up a storm from a very young age. I wanted to give it up and would always think one more party and then next weekend Ill be good. Ofcourse, the next weekend never came. After the angels message was delivered to me, almost overnight I developed a strong aversion to drinking. I had gone from d

rinking large quantities to barely tolerating one or two glasses of wine.

I have experienced so many angel stories and events over the years that I hardlyknow where to begin to share them all. My next big revelation was to follow guidance I received from the angels to travel to San Francisco. They gave me no specific reason why; I just felt a very strong urge to go there. With a leap of faith and not knowing anyone in America, I left New Zealand behind and traveled toCalifornia with my two suitcases. My life was forever altered. I love living here and have experienced many wonderful people, places, and events.

Often when we get these intuitive feelings they feel right in our body, but makeno logical sense whatsoever. This is because wisdom does not come from the logical mind but from the Divine Mind, which exists out of time and space.

One of my most powerful and memorable angel experiences came when I met my husband at age thirty-four. The evening before I met Steven, I had gone out to my back lawn and was lying on the grass looking up at the stars. I was feeling so sad,angry, hurt, and resentful, and was wondering what was wrong with me and why most of my relationships with men had been disastrous. I knew my heart could not take one more break-up. I put my foot down with the angels and demanded that theybring me my life partner or I would resign as their ambassador. Shortly after that statement, I felt tremendous and gut wrenching pain wash up through my entire body. I cried so hard for hours, it was like my soul was having a cathartic release.

The next day I heard my angels say to me Go to the Starlight Ball Room and attendtheir Salsa class. I almost ignored the message and chickened out, but then thought, what did I have to lose? I was running late and when I entered the ballroomit was already packed. The next moment, a beam of light came down and directedme towards a man. When I stood next to him, all the cells in my body started tovibrate. A tunnel of white light opened and I saw a vision of us getting married. Yes, I was most surprised I had never experienced anything like this before. Ten days later we were engaged and living together. This was nine years ago and we are heading into our tenth year together. I could not imagine going through li

fe with anyone else by my side; we are truly each others best friend. We both enjoy feeling on purpose, and enjoy immense freedom and fun together. This doesnt mean we dont have our issues personality stuff has come up but we work through it together. And its the easiest and most fulfilling relationship I have ever had.

Who Are the Angels?

All of our prophets, spiritual masters and sacred texts teach us about the powerof love and that this power lives within all of us. Angels are pure love and light. They are wise, high-level spiritual beings who are experts at assisting usto keep our hearts and thoughts open to love. When I feel disappointed or angry,my angels help me to keep my heart open, to release my emotions, and to see thehigher perspective of my situation.

Its important to note that we are not broken and do not need fixing. When we connect to the angels, its not from a place of giving our power away, but from a place of empowerment by asking for assistance. We also do not need the angels for our information as we can go straight to the divine mind or to our Higher Self toget our own wisdom. At a spiritual level, we are all connected to the same powersource. The main purpose of the angels is to teach, guide, and comfort. Becausethey have no ego, this means they are pure love and light. When they connect with us, their messages are usually brief and always delivered with the energy oflove and support. If we ignore their messages or keep falling down, they never get mad at or disappointed in us. They see us as we truly are unlimited, powerfulbeings.

The angels want you to know that they really do exist. They are your biggest supporters, greatest admirers, and expert spiritual and life coaches. They want tosee you succeed, to enjoy more inner peace, and to fulfill your life purpose.

The angels know every aspect of us intimately and they know what our life purpose is. They know what our soul came here to achieve. They help us release old issues and remove obstacles that keep us from achieving our life purpose and innerhappiness.

In all of the years that I have coached people, I find the emotional body is whe


3/9

re people consistently get stuck and feel un-resourceful. Sometimes we fall intothe false belief that if we keep processing or try and heal our issues, we willbe happy. But by keeping our attention on our issues we keep them fully alive,because wherever we place our attention is what we experience in life. There isno value in keeping painful memories alive by reliving them in our minds or by constantly talking about them.

Usually there is some type of forgiveness work to be done, even though there areno victims or victors as we all co-create our life situations (sometimes we forget this). Archangel Michael calls forgiveness work, emotional forgetfulness, asit truly helps us to integrate painful memories and release stuck emotions. When we give meaning to an event we experience the meaning, not the actual event. It can be useful to change the meaning we place on our events to experience a different outcome. It is never too late to reframe events from our past or currentreality.

Guardian Angels

Each person has two or more guardian angels that are assigned to them from birth. One guardian angel is normally extroverted and pushes you to make choices foryour highest good. This angel knows your talents and potential, and encourages you to shine brightly in all ways.

The other guardian angel is much quieter in its voice and energy. This angel com

forts you when you are sad or lonely and helps to restore faith and hugs you when you are disappointed. The more you appreciate the angels, the more angels willgather to your side. You can also ask for more angels to join you.

Arch Angels

Archangels are like CEOs; they oversee the guardian angels. They are larger andmore powerful. There are at least fifteen Archangels and when you invoke them you will feel their presence very strongly. Visit www.angelsareus.com to read moreabout Archangels.

HowCan the Angels Help You?

The angels operate under a law called free will. This means they can only help ifyou ask. They will only intervene if you are in a death situation and it is notyour time to go. Angels are non-denominational and will freely help anyone who asks, even if you are dubious about their existence.

To ask for help, simply say Angels, I need your help. and they will instantly be at your side. No request is too big or small and you need not worry that you aretaking the angels away from more important tasks. Because they have no physicalbodies or time constraints, they can be everywhere at once. The angels can helpyou with any situation, even something as simple as finding a lost object or a parking space. They love to assist us because every time we create more inner peace, that peace spreads out into the world. They will guide you to the right places, the right people, and will help you to take guided action. A good way to loo

k at this is: They will open the door for you, but it is up to you to decide towalk through the door. Hint: They will help give you the courage to walk throughthe door if you ask for it.

What is the Purpose of the Angels?

The main purpose of the angels is to teach, guide, and comfort. For example, theangels teach action, hope, and love. As the angel stories below demonstrate, they do come at times and provide miracles for us. Archangel Michael helps us to remove all effects of fearful thinking. Fear can show up as worrying about how to


4/9

pay the bills, having a relationship conflict, procrastination, concerns that people will not like you, and sometimes as nagging sensations in your body. Whenthe effects of fear are removed, this allows us to enter into action. As fear isreleased, more love and light are available to us because we are more open to receiving it. As our heart opens, people and opportunities seamlessly are attracted to us. When more is attracted to us, we feel uplifted and positive, and engage in thoughts, words, and actions that are in alignment with our goals. The upward spiral continues.

Even when you are feeling good, it is important to create and engage in daily rituals so the roots of fear do not grow back. The angels can help motivate you totake these daily rituals. They are also great at guiding you to the perfect resources that will work for you such as a life coach, class, book, DVD, etc.

Sometimes you may feel discouraged that you are not getting your angel messages.You may give up on the angels, but know that they never give up on you. You see, your experiences, thoughts, fears, and worries are not the true you; they aresomething you experience. Your angels always hold you in your highest light andare always at your side. They are your true companions that never leave you. Sometimes in my life when I could not feel them it was always because I was in sometype of fear or worry. Even though they were there, my fear acted as a block. Imagine you are talking to a friend on the phone and all of a sudden, there is somuch static on the phone that you no longer can hear them, but you know they are still there. It can feel frustrating. This is a metaphor for how fear acts in

our lives. The good news is no matter what state you are in, it can be turned around very quickly. Angels are fabulous for assisting with releasing fearful thoughts. The truth is you are a powerful, amazing person who is capable of achieving anything your heart desires, regardless of your current outside circumstance.With your angels by your side you can guarantee a steady pathway of success. Your angels will also remind you that the power is within you and not within them.I have been working consistently with the angels for the past nine years and I have never worked so diligently in my life. I also have more overall abundant joy, happiness, financial freedom, good looks, and feel fulfilled with being on purpose.

When you start working with the angels, they will often bring in lots of signs and maybe even some miracles. They do this so you will believe that they exist an

d to create a relationship with you based on love and trust. But as your relationship matures with the angels, they often take a back seat while still lovinglywatching over you.

How Do We Receive Information From the Angels?

Every person has four main methods for receiving their divine guidance: Throughour senses of sight, sound, feeling and thought.

Clairvoyance Means clear seeing, and brings guidance in the form of still pictures or miniature movies in your minds eye. The angels may communicate with you bybringing you the perfect book, showing you a vision or a stunning rainbow, or you may be led to view a certain movie.Clairaudience Means clear hearing and invol

ves hearing your guidance through words coming from within your head or outsideit, although it may not sound like your own voice. The angels use very short messages or single words and will keep repeating those messages or words until youact upon the guidance. You will often think, Hey, I already knew that because it always feels right on.

Clairsentience Means clear feeling and involves receiving guidance as an emotionor a physical sensation such as a smell, touch, or a tightening of muscles. Forexample, you may wonder whether or not to take a certain job and get a tightening in your body when you think about it; this is valuable information. Or you ma


5/9

y get an uneasy sense when you meet someone listen to this. Sometimes this kindof information can be difficult to receive because we dismiss our feelings and think, its just me.

Claircognizance Means clear knowing suddenly you will know something for a factwithout knowing how you know. You may have an insight or be able to fix something without knowing how.

We usually receive guidance through the same communication channel or channels that we experience every day. If you are more of a creative artist and visual person you are likely to be clairvoyant. The third eye relates to this channel.

If you pay attention to peoples voices, music and noises, your channel is auditory and the ear charkas relate to this channel.

Other people experience life through their emotions and senses and are feeling oriented, the heart is related to this channel. Those who focus on the underlyingmessages and meanings of their experiences are more cognitively oriented. The crown charka is related to this channel. These people are usually scientists andengineers.

You may be open to all these channels, but you will find you are usually stronger in one channel than another. Choose your predominant channel and for the nextweek, focus entirely on that channel. Create a special book for yourself and eac

h day write down the things you experience and notice.

The angels are always communicating with you and trying to get your attention. They will engage with you in ways that resonate and delight you. Start trusting that you can receive their guidance and intend to notice their signs.

Tools to OpenYourself to Divine Guidance

1. The first step to opening yourself to receive divine communication is by making the decision to do so. Really choose it. The word decision comes from the Latin root and means to cut off when you make a firm decision it cuts off all wishing, hopes and maybes.

2. Commit to spend ten minutes a day in silent meditation with the intention ofconnecting. Make this the most important part of your day. This will help you build your skill set. I still do this daily, along with clearing my chakras, centering myself, and setting my daily intentions.

3. Breathe deep. Deep breathing will make it easier for the angels to communicate with you. They imbue each molecule of oxygen with guidance and instruction. Any time you want rapid movement in your life, breathe more deeply.

4. Keep your physical body healthy through light nutritional foods, exercise, plenty of water, and by keeping your charkas clean. These are all methods that will help the angels communicate more powerfully and clearly to you.

All the stories below are true stories, nothing has been embellished, and I havegenerously been granted permission to use them. I hope these stories touch yourheart, open your mind, and wrap you in the wings of angelic love as you read them.

Angel Stories

Healing of a Migraine Headache

As a freelance art director working from my home, I was extremely busy with moun


6/9

tains of project work and raising two small children. But I was managing to finda balance and in my spare time I was reading a lot, mostly spiritual books about meditation and angels.

One afternoon, with one of the girls at school and the other at the babysitter,I was focused on a looming project deadline with many last minute details that needed to be attended to. At what seemed to be the absolute worst timing, I was suddenly hit with a migraine headache. It was a big one, the kind that takes twodays to recover from. The medicine that I took didnt help at all. The pain was severe and the sensitivity to light and sound made it difficult for me to function.

I had no choice but to lie down in my bed and wait it out. As I lay there, I prayed to my angels to please help me because I needed to get this work done. Moments later, I felt a hand softly move from my forehead and over my closed eyes andthen lift off my face. The sense of compassion and care was palpable, and thenthe pain was gone. My eyes popped open wide as I realized what had just happened. I immediately called my friend who had been studying about angels with me andshared my story with her. We were both amazed.

With divine help, all of my work was finished that day, on time, and exactly asit had been requested. Ann E. King www.kingcitystudio.com Curing of Alcoholism

Through Bridget, my angels told me that I am someone who tends to hold myself ba

ck from others that I forsake my own leadership because I feel bad about leavingothers behind and that I should go ahead and take the lead knowing that otherswill follow. I started to cry when I heard those words, as I am while writing this, because in an instant, I felt more known and more seen than I had ever feltbefore. There really was someone looking out for me!

So when I called Bridget one afternoon and the first thing she said to me was that my angels wanted to cure me of my alcoholism, I was astonished but open to anything. I had learned from Bridget that my angels could remove certain obstaclesor patterns of behavior as long as I agreed. I hesitated to say "yes" to the cure since I had come to believe that I

d be an alcoholic in recovery for the restof my life. Then I remembered that the AA Big Book says that "no humanly power"could cure me of my alcoholism, and here was a heavenly power offering to do ju

st that. Bridget also let me know that my angels can do anything. It

s been almost four years since that day and I have not had a problem with alcohol since. Irarely drink and most of the time, I don

t bother about it at all. I got complete with my AA community, with my friends one conversation at a time, and with AAas a whole when I announced my being cured at my home group. Some people congratulated me, some people wished they could have the same miracle, and some didn

tbelieve me at all.

C. Griess, California Forgiving an Abusive Parent

A life changing miracle occurred for me at a spiritual workshop. I asked Archangel Michael to help me totally forgive my abusive dad. He granted me a vision. Isaw my dads fist coming towards my face, then all of a sudden the fist turned int

o a hug and my dad said Jim, I love you. I immediately started crying. This imagehelped me to release the abusive behavior and in that moment I was able to completely forgive my dad. I believe working with Archangel Michael has changed my life. I am seeing myself as a truly wonderful and loving person and I have no doubt that there will be more miracles in the future.

Jim Allen, Portland, OR www.angelichealingfire.comAngels Riding With Me

I had an incident that occurred a year and a half ago, but is still fresh in mymind. It is a night that should have ended with me seriously injured, even dead.


7/9

The fact that this did not happen I can only attest to the angels in my life. Before I describe what unfolded, I want to mention a bit about the part of the angels in my life. I grew up Catholic, but angels had no more significance for methan that of characters in some mythology. Later, I fell in love with science and spent eighteen years working at NASA Ames Research Center. In order for me tobelieve in something, it had to make sense to me. I had to be able to at least at some level understand the origin as well as cause and effect of anything thathappened or existed in life. I would not accept phenomenon at face value, and Ifigured for good reason as many people have been misled or hurt by misconstruingor not understanding why events in nature work. Yet all my life, deep in my heart I was struggling for a stronger spiritual connection with life and God. I could not seeming hold on to a pathway that would satisfy that urging in me.

Then Bridget came into my life and gently and persuasively, she opened my spiritual awareness. In May of 2002, she introduced to me the angels in my life. I felt within the fiber of my being the truth of such and my readiness for this information, and surprisingly it was not a big leap for me to learn to accept. I cameto see the angels not as middlemen to God who would do favors for me, but as guides in my life, to apply to my life that would lead to increased happiness andawareness. As never before in my life, I committed to working with them and seeing them as the voices of love and light of God. Gradually but perceptibly, my life became more enhanced. I now felt more connected with my environment, both physically and spiritually, and my confidence in my own success grew.

Now that fateful night for me back on October 5, 2002. I was cruising down Homestead Road in Santa Clara on my way to Bridget

s home when a car in a leftturn lane facing me decided to go for it just as I entered the intersection. I was traveling about forty-five miles per hour when I crashed into the car head-on. Looking back, it seemed so surreal. I had perhaps a fraction of a second from when Isaw I was going to hit the car to when it actually happened, yet I remember thinking about Bridget, my children, and my friends. I don

t think I had enough timefor fear to set in, but I remembered feeling irritated. Then bam! I flew so hard and fast that it seemed within an instant I was on the ground. I never lost consciousness and my first thought while lying on the ground was a plea that no one would run over me. Then I started gingerly touching my body and was surprisedthere was no pain. I tried moving and that was no problem. I then stood up and saw the lady getting out of her car, her face as white as a ghost. I looked at th

e motorcycle and it was crushed. Apparently I had a death grip on the handlebarsand the force that ripped me from the bike was so strong I had bent the hardened steel of the bars. I more closely examined myself and I couldn

t find anythingwrong. I couldn

t find a scrape, let alone a broken bone. I was wearing slacksand a jacket along with my helmet, but not a stitch of clothing was torn. I wasshocked. The police arrived and they later told me they were expecting a corpse,or at least someone terribly injured. I was told that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents end in serious injury or death, and that at least something happens to the rest. I had no cuts, bruises, or raspberries. I could see the immense relief in the face of the driver who collided with me.

Now I must say that I remembered what I was thinking going down Homestead Road that night. On a motorcycle, there isn

t as much to distract one as in a car. I d

idnt have a stereo, cell phone, or someone talking next to me. While driving along, I had elected to connect to my angels. I felt a sense of surety and calmnessprior to the accident and I was enjoying my private conversation with them. Thepeace I felt was palatable. Then immediately after the accident, while sitting on my butt in the middle of the street, I could feel even stronger the presence of the angels surrounding me. I was told that it wasn

t my time, that there was more for me to accomplish, and that things would go very well for me. I wasn

t inthe mood to argue. To say the least, it was prophetic. Shortly after the accident, my income began rising and other opportunities arose. My relationships withthose I love markedly improved. My health became stronger. Given the miracle tha


8/9

t occurred for me that night, I cannot come to any other conclusion that the angels in my life are truly guiding me. It isn

t to say that it couldn

t have beenmy time, but I cannot explain it in any other fashion. And the real miracle forme is how they taught me to engage my life more fully, not to sit back and waitfor things to happen. It is almost as if I have a team of coaches supporting me.My life now seems so truly blessed, almost magical, but I know that I had somevery real help that anyone can tune into. I will always look back at that nightas a very pivotal evening in my life.

Steven Kiefel, CA Mechanical Repair

We were experiencing an intense heat wave and right when this heat wave occurred, my air conditioning decided to stop working. I immediately called the repairman, who said he would be over by 5pm that day. He did not show up and I was feeling very lethargic and unable to work from home in the heat. The next morning I promptly rang the repairman to hear lots of apologies and promises that he wouldbe over that day; again he did not show up. I called all of the other repair companies, but the next available appointment was days away. By this stage, I was feeling so frustrated and drained that I broke down into tears and sobbed my eyesout. After I stopped, I started laughing to myself as I had forgotten to ask myangels for help. I invoked Archangel Michael (who helps with mechanical repairs) to please come and assist me. Much to my utter delight, within five minutes Iheard the air conditioning start up and the cool air started flowing through thehouse.

Bridget Engel, CAPet Healing

I was speaking with my mother on the telephone in New Zealand and she was feeling very worried about her older Siamese cat named Chico. One of his back teeth was rotten and he had an infection in his mouth. We carried on with our conversation and when I got off the phone, I asked Archangel Raphael, the Angel of Healing, to assist Chico. I later spoke to my mother, who said that shortly after she hung up the phone, Chico made a loud howling noise. She wrapped him in a blanketbecause blood started to gush out of his mouth miraculously his rotten tooth hadfallen out. He wiggled out of her arms, went to his food bowl and started eating. She also told me that the awful smelling infection from his mouth had also healed.

L. Turner, New Zealand Roadside Assistance

Recently I was traveling with my dog in the far north of California, in a very isolated area up near Lava Beds National Monument. Driving a new car, I misjudgedthe gas mileage and realized that the fuel was getting very low. In fact, the trip computer said I had ZERO miles left to empty, even though the nearest town was about twenty miles away. I belong to AAA but had to wonder if my cell phone would work in this remote location and it was already getting late in the day. Why was I so stupid?!

Remembering the power of Archangel Michael, I entreated him to please help and not let me run out of gas. I felt a wave of peace and re-assurance wash down on m

e as if my prayer was instantly being answered. I continued driving without fearand reached the nearest town where I was sure a gas station awaited. Just in time, too, because I was running on fumes by then. I spotted some gas pumps outside a general store and drove straight over to fill up.

Imagine the shock when I read the sign outside: No gas, pumps empty. ImmediatelyI gave in to fear, thinking in a panic Hey Michael, whats up? But I swear it was not more than ten seconds later that a handsome young man pulled up in an SUV, rolled down the window and asked if I needed gas. Why yes, Im completely empty, I replied. He instructed me to follow him to his farm a short distance away where he h


9/9

ad his own supply, as farmers often do. I followed and was soon getting enough gas to make it to the next town.

I swear there was something strangely regal about this fellow and I asked why hejust suddenly appeared like that to help me. Just needed something at the store, he explained. I told him he had turned up just like an angel and thanked him profusely, but he just smiled and waved goodbye as I drove off. But to this day Istill wonder if angels really drive SUVs.

Mark R. Willams, CABingo Winnings

I have always believed in angels but had not experienced their influence until just recently. Bridget has always encouraged me to ask the angels for help in anysituation. A couple of weeks ago I went to my weekly bingo night and having notwon in a long time, I asked Archangel Michael for help. That night I won $1200.00. The next night I said out loud, If my asking for help and then winning was just

a coincidence, then so be it but, if it wasnt, I would love to win again. And iftheres any way to indicate that youre the ones helping, that would be great. One game later I won $750 on the same game that I had won the night before and bingod on the same number! The next week I asked again and won another $250. Since thenI have asked for help every time and have not walked away without winning. I have also been talking with my angels daily. They seem to like to help out with eve

rything. Ask and you shall receive!
