Asking angels for help has totally changed my life and I know it can do so for anybody. Angels can’t help us unless we ask, because of the law of free will. What holds many people back is the thought that they might be bothering the angels, or that what they are asking for isn’t important or spiritual enough. Or that they are somehow undeserving of angelic assistance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The angels want us to ask for help with anything we need. When we do this, it helps to raise the frequency of the whole planet because we naturally raise our vibration when we work with angels.
If we ask for something that is not aligned with our highest good, the angels will still help us but in a different way.
Examples of How to Ask Angels
One form of asking is through prayer. Here’s an example: “Dear Angels, please help me to navigate this situation with love and wisdom. Thank you.” When we pray, it’s good to let it go and be open to the loving response from our angels. You may like to be more specific and address a particular archangel or your own guardian angel—whatever resonates best.
You can also direct a question to the angels, and this is incredibly powerful because questions attract answers. Immediately, by asking the angels, you engage your higher self and subconscious mind to get to work, as well as inviting the angels’ help. Unlike us, angels don’t have free will. So we need to ask. Imagine the superpower of turning problems into questions, then boost it a thousand times by inviting the angels.
Simple first step
Think of something you’d like help with in your life and turn it into a question. Get a pen and piece of paper and write it down. Here are some examples:
-
I worry about money ➔ Angels, how can I feel more at peace with money?
-
My relationship is full of challenges right now ➔ Archangel Chamuel, how can I bring more love into my relationship?
-
I worry about the state of the world ➔ Archangel Metatron, how can I assist in raising the light of the planet?
How I Began Working with Angels
I learned about asking Archangel Michael when I was small. I was lucky to have a spiritual yogi mom who taught me to do this whenever I felt anxious, especially at bedtime. She told me to ask Archangel Michael to protect me with his deep blue cloak of light. At that time, in the 80s, she was learning about ascended masters and reading books by Diana Cooper.
In 1998, Mom and I trained together in Reiki levels 1 and 2, but it was later, in 2007, during a spiritual awakening, that I was suddenly ready to learn and talk to the angels.
At first, it came as thoughts in my mind. They were like my own thoughts, only very loving and clear. I felt certain the guidance was true. It became daily support, urging me to learn about the chakras and balance my energy centres. I read books about angels, bought oracle cards, meditated with them. It became a deep fascination, and I was excited. Each day working with the angels brought new miracles. I joined the Diana Cooper School of White Light in 2009 and soon began teaching workshops on how to connect with angels.
What the Angels Told Me
My angels told me that part of my mission was to primarily to help others connect with them directly, rather than acting as a messenger. That said, of course, messages do come through for others, especially in my 1:1 sessions.
When I started writing Ask Your Angel Guides, it began as an experiment. As a life coach, I already understood the power of turning challenges into questions, and as an angel teacher, the next step was to bring in the angels. I was going to give it a go.
The angels told me to buy a notebook and write down my questions, then channel their answers by writing into the notebook by hand. Initially, I wrote only for myself. My intention was clear: “I want to write an angel book that I would love to buy.” That was my focus. Soon, I began sharing with people, and they were excited too.
How Angels Answer Us
The angels have many ways of answering us when we ask for help or guidance. For me, claircognizance (clear knowing) is very strong, and a thought forms in my mind that comes from the angels. I know it to be true, and I know it is from them because it carries a high-frequency, loving, and wise quality.
Sometimes angels send a sign. A friend told me she was working with Archangel Metatron. While driving, she noticed the sky shifting into a beautiful golden orange and instantly knew Metatron was connecting with her. Answers may also come through synchronicities, a phone call out of the blue, a new opportunity, or even in a dream.
