You don’t have to be a saint to work with angels.  You don’t have to be highly enlightened.  What you do need to be is open to the idea that you merit their attention.  Deep within most people’s psyche is the belief that they are not-good-enough to work with any being of light.  This is totally untrue.

In my experience, angels have been created by God/Source/Creator - whatever Divine name you like for the Originator of All.  I like the word ‘God’ because I’m lazy and I like that it holds only 3 letters.  Anyway, these beings of light have been created especially to comfort and guide us.  They are experts at inspiring us.  So go ahead - use them!  They’ll be delighted!

What many people don’t seem to know is that the angels are eager to work with us.  Why?  Why would they want to subject themselves to our craziness?  Because, the more we can ‘lighten’ up the world, the more joy and bliss gets radiated throughout the universe.  It’s a win-win situation.

So, what does this mean for you, mere mortal that you are?  It means you can start giving yourself permission to receive spiritual aid and guidance.  If you have already been doing this - congratulations!  If not, then start now.  You see, the angels cannot give full support without your permission.  They will not go against your free-will.  So, go ahead, call them forth today!  Right now!  Why not?  You have nothing to lose.

Angels will primarily assist you in matters of spiritual growth.  They will assist you to their greatest capacity.  But know that if you have a request from them that comes from your ego, they will quietly ignore your request.  They will not promote the machinations of the ego.  They work at increasing your own spiritual light.  They will be only too happy to partner with you in acquiring more wisdom, compassion, joy, etc.  And believe you me, these are worth far more it’s weight in gold than you can ever imagine.  These qualities will go with you far after your death than would a shiny new car.

Not that there is anything wrong with asking for a car.  If the angels perceive that this will not increase ego-tendencies in you, they will be only to happy to bring the perfect car to you.  After all, if having a reliable car at a reasonable price will create more peace of mind in you, they will be only to happy to oblige.

So, how do you communicate with these beings?  Simple: talk to them as you would a friend.  Let them know your thoughts and feelings.  (They know them already - but it helps you to clarify them.)  And don’t be scared because they know your thoughts - yes, even your darker, uglier thoughts.  They know them and they still love you.  Why?  Because you are beings of light yourselves.  So give them your ugly thoughts.  Tell them you are having difficulties forgiving so-and-so and it hurts your heart to hold all this anger.  Ask the angels to help you forgive.  They will be thrilled to help you with this.

Another area where we need the help of the angels is in forgiving ourselves for having judgments.  Here’s a little tip for you - if you are here on Earth, inhabiting a human body - you are going to have judgments!  Most likely quite a few in just an hour’s time.  THIS IS NATURAL.  What is not natural is to judge yourself for having judgments!  So what to do with this conundrum?  Don’t place meaning on your judgments.  Simply note them “ah, I’m having a judgment” and let it go.  Pure and simple.  No need to say to yourself that you are a worthless piece of …. because you are ‘judging’.  Or even worse - believing your judgment to be truth!  That’s the ego at work.  What you will find overtime is that by shrugging off your judgments, you will become disengaged from them and have far more peace of mind.  Having peace of mind opens the spiritual floodgates even more!  You will find yourself far more loving of others and far less guilt ridden.  You will start to see others as simply human rather than ‘poor saps’ or ‘***holes’ or ‘jerks’ or ‘idiots’ etc.  You will notice that in time, you don’t even have those name-calling thoughts anymore.

You can also meditate with the angels.  You might want to pick a different angel to work with each day.  Perhaps on Monday you would like to work with Gabriel, than Tuesday with Uriel, etc.  You might find that you have a real affinity with Zaphkiel and decide to work more profoundly with him.

Or you may prefere to keep it more generic.  You may prefer to simply go through your day calling in ‘the angels’ whenever you have the whim.  You’ll know their presence very well after a while.  (When I work with angels, I usually feel a soft stroking of my face or my hair.  I can also feel their angelic energy as well as see them clairvoyantly.)

Of course, you can also go quite esoteric and decide to work with the angels of the Tree of Life.  These angels are adept at taking you from the ground-zero of the ego right into the supernal realities of Spirit.  It is a marvelous system, but you will need to give yourself some time to pathwork the tree.  It is not achieved over-night.  Nor is your enlightenment!

The point is:  there are endless ways to work with angels.  The decision as to the how is up to you!

So take your time!  Enjoy the ride!  Utilize the tools at your dispossal - co-partner with them thar’ angels today!  You won’t regret it.
