Angels are around us all the time, listening to our thoughts, guiding us, being with us in need and providing comfort and guidance. We can’t see them though, or can we?

There are accounts in the bible of angelic encounters, and modern day encounters too. But what is an encounter? Well, it’s not going to be easy to tell all the time, unless you see one in the physical plane which is rare, but not impossible. An angel may be an assuring voice, a gentle touch on the arm, the sensation of being warm even on your own. Supposedly they can take on human form to help you. Other times they may appear with angelic wings to reassure you or to bolster your faith.

They are the beings of heaven, interdimensional messengers between us and the creator. They have boundless love and never give up on you. It is there intention to help human beings. Since angels radiate light, they come from the light of heaven, another realm of existence, it is hard for them to be in light form we can see.

But they do appear as lights, variety we may not even give a thought to: A coloured light coming across you vision, glowing orbs (not sure on this), flashed of light, streams of bright white light like the sun, burst of small clouds of light. You might see the outline of something that looks like light for a brief moment. The angel can be mist, or like mist, which is white gossomer like substance. It could be significant, it might not be. You judge your own experiences, and if any message’s are being conveyed you should try and ground yourself. A good thing to check is whether your hairs on your arms stand on edge, if they do it means the air is charged, which may well be a sign of an angel being present.

Angels coming to us with wings, or in the form we anticipate, which may or may not be their true form, can be unsettling. Angels in the bible instructed that humans should not be afraid when they encounter an angel with wings. This is a celestial being with great strength and power and an extremely important role in heaven and earth. Do not be afraid though, they are benevolent and have qualities of goodness and purity. Just a friendly reminder, they are kind to good people, and I cannot imagine them not intervening if you attempt to physically hurt someone else who you should not hurt. Angels are intelligent beings, and understand what is good and bad. Bad people have demons, but we don’t talk about them in this post.

In a 2002 study which interviewed 350, most of them in the UK who had experiences of angels, describe several types of experiences. They talk about visions, conveying warnings, senses of being touched, pushed or lifted to avert danger, pleasant fragrances.

There is guardian angels, meant to look over us personally out whole lives. What people might not realise is that some people have more than one, some have two. I believe the people with more than one are particularly special, or maybe they will need the extra support in life. God sees and knows all and has factored this into the whole equation. That doesn’t mean you are restricted to the help of your guardian angel. As I mentioned at the start, they are everywhere and several angels may help you in one day. Angels do not have to get permission from you to help, just accept it. Even non-believers have encountered these beings. If you recall my post on alchemy you will see that hundreds of years ago people were not only seeing but also communicating with angels. Take that with caution, and never let anything you don’t trust to trick you. Angels answer to God and Him only, and has been warned before, if an angel accepts praise or worship you are not in their presence.

Angels can show us love even if we cannot see them. They may hug us, they may wrap their wings around us, surrounding our bodies in angelic protective energy, bathing us in warm heavenly light and love. When this happens, it might be because you are in a worrisome time, or are sad, or maybe you are grieving and their presence is thought to help.

I had an uplifting experience at my old apartment. I was grieving around that time, but I was not crying. I simply lay in bed and suddenly I could see the misty outline of an angel, a human like body with wings. I was falling asleep so never gave it much thought. It made me feel warm as the wings wrapped around me, and I woke up refreshed. I don’t know if I encountered an angel but it was really pleasant to know someone was there for me.

I have talked about essential oils a few times on my site. They are excellent tools for boosting wellbeing, mindfulness, physical illness and spiritual connection. Some oils also help to better connect with the angels.

Frankincense is by far the most spiritually ‘high’ vibration in oils. It was considered in biblical times to be more valuable than gold. It helps calm and raise your vibrations so you can connect with angels. The higher vibration the easier for you to see them. Rose oil is incredibly powerful too, allowing you to open your heart and be more connected with love and the angelic realm. Lavender can help calm stress and anxiety and allow you to prepare and see angels without worrying. Quiet mind is key to communication. So too is raising the vibration.

So if you think angels are surrounding you then good, because that is better than the polar opposite. There can be changes in the air in that it becomes charged, your hair is on edge, maybe you feel an electricity around you or your have a strong uplift in energy. Do you believe in angels? Have you ever had an experience seeing them? Comment below!

Thanks for reading this post, it was focused on angels since we are in the Easter time, the Son of Gods birthday approaches. I will follow this post up at some point and discuss some of the more philosophical possibilities of angelic existence.
