Are you wondering how to connect with your guardian angel? Angelic signs, messages and support are not reserved for the ‘chosen’ few! Don’t believe it’s a complicated process, because everyone in daily life can learn how to connect with their guardian angel. If your interest in angels is just beginning, know that you too can experience direct angel communication. It can be a fun, inspiring and joyful part of your life. All you have to do is start from where you’re at, and with practice you’ll soon be able to recognise and read the signs with ease. There’s a great sense of comfort from knowing that guidance and support is available from the heavenly realms whenever you need it.

I encourage you to approach angel communication with an open mind and heart, feeling confident that it is your divine right to access angelic support. In my experience, and that of so many others, connecting to your guardian angel, and all angels can be the most powerful, profound and loving way to receive spiritual guidance, soul growth, and healing.

The angels are beings of pure, divine light. Their frequency carries only unconditional love and a desire to assist you for your highest outcome in all areas of your life. The best thing to do when you start thinking about how to connect with your guardian angel is to keep your practice short and simple. Don’t overcomplicate or overthink it. Once you become more attuned to the angelic vibrations and familiar with the energetic signature of your guardian angel, you can then begin to deepen your communication. With regular practice you will recognise the presence of your guardian angel and receive their messages and signs with trust and clarity.

The more frequently you call on your guardian angel the easier it becomes. They wait in divine devotion and service to you, so invite them to reveal themselves and bring guidance in a way that feels comfortable and that you’ll understand. Angels will always respect your free will and work for your highest good. Practice throughout the day, even for a few minutes to call your angel in. If at first you don’t feel like you are receiving any signs, your angel will find ways to connect with you through your strongest intuitive ability. It can be as simple as chatting to them, sharing your thoughts and feelings, moments of happiness and gratitude, as well as fears and worries. You can talk to your angel silently, or out loud, whichever you feel comfortable with.

If you get to the point where you’re thinking about how to connect with your guardian angel for more meaningful guidance, messages and reassurance for specific issues, then you  may wish to deepen this connection. This can be done by creating a ‘sacred space’ or angel altar, and setting up a regular ritual to strengthen your channel and communication. Make a dedicated space, and for example, place a candle, crystal, incense, angel representation such as a figure or image, or whatever has importance for you in this space. Your guardian angel is unique to you (you do not share it with anyone else) so how you develop your connection will also be unique. Do what works for you, there is no right or wrong way.

Here’s a few suggestions to get you started with your angel connection. Explore what feels natural to you. The thing to remember is, keep it simple and short to start with. Most importantly keep your practice centred in love, respect and trust. Be light hearted and have fun!

Discover how to connect with your guardian angel with these simple practices and powerful techniques:

1. Morning Prayer
Invite your guardian angel to support and guide you throughout the day.

“Guardian angel, in love and light, I invite you into my day and ask to receive, with certainty, your divine guidance for my highest good. Thank you, and so it is” 

You can use your own words and say the prayer out loud or silently in your mind before you get up.

2. Chat to them

During the day use whatever prayer, intention, invocation, or general ‘chit-chat’ to communicate your interest in connecting with your angel. For example, “Guardian angel (or name if you know it) thank you for being here with me now” or, “Guardian angel, I need help with (………), thank you” Ask them to be with you at any point you’re in need of comfort, direction, inspiration, clarity, healing, protection or support.

3. Ask for a sign

Ask your angel to show you a physical sign to show their presence in your life. Keep an eye out, and an open mind, as signs don’t always show up in obvious ways, such as feather! It can be subtle, and easily missed if you’re not paying attention. One example is the use of music. You may hear a song come on the radio and the words have personal meaning, or have a message, or an answer to your question in the lyrics. Angels may also communicate in a way that is symbolic, not literal.

4. Angel oracle cards

Choose a deck you intuitively feel drawn to. When using them, take a minute to calm and ground yourself with a few deep breaths. Hold the deck to your heart and silently set your intention to receive guidance from your angel in love and light, for your highest divine will. Shuffle the deck and pick a card. If one drops or flies out from the deck, pay special attention to this message.

5. How to connect to your guardian angel with focused connection

Create a sacred space or angel altar. This can help direct your focus and awareness to the angelic realms. Where your awareness goes, your energy flows and you want it to be focused on the angelic vibration.

Light a candle, incense, play gentle music, place a crystal nearby, or angel oracle cards. Whatever lifts your spirits and opens your heart to the vibration of love, joy and gratitude.

Relax, become present. Use your breath to move your awareness within. Let go of expectations and outcomes. Surrender and trust your ability to receive angelic frequency.

Focus on your pillar of light. Visualise/think of a tube or column of divine white light coming down from God/Source/Creator to the crown of your head, down to your heart, your root chakra (base of spine) and into the ground. Allow this divine light to flow down and back up, rooting you in earth energy and reaching up to divine source, creating a channel of light and communication with the angelic realm.

Call in your guardian angel in the highest divine light and love, to join you now. Be open to receiving angelic energy and guidance according to your divine will and highest good.

Focus on your breath, bringing yourself to a calm and gentle awareness of your body, breath and the energy around you. Let your senses tune in to the frequencies beyond the physical. You may feel a loving, calm energy, or feel a sense of peace. Physical sensations may be experienced such as warmth, or tingling. You may even see colours, or a shape in your minds eye.

Sit in this space for a few minutes until you feel the connection coming to an end. Close by thanking your angel and bringing your awareness back to your physical body. 

6. How to connect to your guardian angel with automatic writing 

Think of it as a letter from your angel. Before you begin write down the question you have for your angel, or the reason you’d like to connect.

Focus your intention as above. As you sit quietly with pen and paper, let yourself write whatever comes through without overthinking it. You might write one word, a few sentences, some doodles. Let it flow. When you’ve finished get up and leave it for a few minutes. When you return to it, look for any message. You may be surprised! 

When you learn how to connect to your guardian angel, angelic guidance can bring a huge amount of comfort and reassurance during challenging times, but remember you can also make your angel connection fun and fulfilling. Share your wins, the joy and good times. They love to celebrate your achievements! The more you practice, the stronger your intuitive ability becomes. There are unlimited benefits your angel can bring and knowing your angel is by your side every step of the way can enrich your life’s journey in ways you could never imagine. In addition to your guardian angel, there is an infinite amount of other angels and Archangels available to help and support you. Get to know them, invite them into your life too.

Chakra Healing

When you discover chakras and their secret to healing, it can offer an important spiritual tool to guide you through life. Working with the energy of the chakra system can reveal a lot about the state of your physical health, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. There’s a whole new dimension to self awareness and development once you begin to understand chakras and their secret to healing. 

Think of chakras as spinning wheels of energy positioned along the spinal column, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. They are linked to the nervous system and are closely related to the endocrine system. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel and chakra healing has been understood and respected by ancient cultures for thousands of years.

Each chakra influences the health of our body systems and the emotional and mental aspects of our lives. If the flow of energy to one or more of the chakras becomes imbalanced (too much or too little) then illness and disharmony within the body and/or mind can develop.

These spiritual energy centres, or wheels, store divine life force energy and can tell us what we need to heal in order to restore vitality to our chakra system and all levels of our being. When we practice chakra healing and the system becomes balanced, we can live our best lives.

If we learn to tune in to the chakra energies we can increase self-awareness and begin to understand the cause of disharmony and dis-ease within our bodies, our mindset, emotions and relationships.

The chakras help us to access spiritual wisdom to clear and heal energy blocks that have been created from past or present traumas, inner fears, pain, limiting beliefs, karmic ties, inherited conditioning, and negative experiences. Our chakras are as unique as our fingerprints. They hold the energies we are born into as well as the energies of the life we have been living. This means they can show us the parts of ourselves that need the deepest inner work. If we accept their invitation, we can begin the healing transformation that will then be reflected back out into all aspects of our life.

Think of chakras as a map for wellness and creating abundance in our lives. They tell us exactly what we need to focus on to create the life we desire.

When we work towards activating and aligning the chakras we move towards living life in the fulness of our potential, becoming more soul aligned and satisfied with who we are. We enjoy an abundance of well-being:

• good physical health and stability
• joy, creativity, and passion
• positive emotional health and harmonious relationships
• motivation and confidence to achieve goals
• authentic self-expression and effective communication
• learning and expanding intellect
• creating space for self-awareness and spiritual connection.

Chakras are a complex energetic bridge between our physical world and the spiritual dimensions. Once we unlock the secrets held within the chakras we can begin to understand and express our truest selves and find real purpose. Balancing and healing the energy of the chakras is one of the greatest self-care gifts we can give ourselves.

Chakra healing offers us a deeper awareness of every aspect of our being. It can offer support, insight, and perspective on the experiences, meaning, and purpose of our life. We truly begin to know ourselves.

Root Chakra – Muladhara. Red Colour, Base of spine

This is the chakra that gives us essential foundation and support. It affects how safe and secure we feel in our inner and outer worlds. The root/base chakra is all about survival consciousness and our belonging in the physical world.

When this chakra is balanced we feel grounded, safe, strong, and independent. We’ll enjoy good vitality and strong physical health. There’ll be an openness to financial abundance and we’ll trust that all our basic needs will be met. We will experience stability in our home, finances and our place in the world.

If the root chakra is unbalanced, we’ll feel anxious, depressed, insecure and fearful. We may feel restless and disorganised.

Physically it relates to the adrenal glands, legs, colon, and skeleton.

Sacral Chakra – Svadisthana. Orange, lower abdominal area

The energy here affects our desires, passion, enjoyment, and sensuality. It is the centre of our creativity, emotional intelligence, and connection. 

When the sacral chakra is balanced, we have creative flow, healthy desires, flexibility, and freedom. 

With an imbalanced sacral chakra we feel emotionally withdrawn or stuck, guilty, disconnected from our passion and purpose, and fear intimacy.

The reproductive organs, lower back and kidneys are associated with this chakra.

Solar Plexus Chakra – Manipura. Yellow, upper abdomen.

This is the centre of our identity, power and confidence. This chakra holds our will, self-worth and personal strength.

If we have a balanced flow of energy to this chakra, we feel calm and confident, motivated, purposeful, and have a positive sense of self. We are able to assert ourselves and deal with challenges and pressure.

If we have imbalanced energy in the solar plexus, we may have low self-esteem or be competitive and aggressive. Self-control can be lacking and we may be inactive and indecisive. 

An energetic block in the solar plexus may manifest physically in the pancreas, digestive system, metabolism or muscles.

Heart Chakra – Anahata. Green, centre of the chest

The heart chakra is the bridge connecting the lower physical chakras with the upper spiritual ones. Its essence is love, compassion, resilience, joy, and forgiveness.

When we have a balanced heart chakra, we are loving, kind, content. Forgiveness and compassion come more easily and we enjoy the love of self and others and have healthy relationships.

If the energy flow in the heart chakra is out of balance we may become selfish, jealous, lonely, anti-social, isolated, unforgiving, disconnected, lacking in self-love, reject love from others.

Physical illness or disharmony may present in the thymus gland, respiratory system, heart, chest.

Throat Chakra – Vishuddha. Blue, base of throat

This is the energy centre that determines self-expression and communication. The ability to be heard and acknowledged. It’s how we give a voice to our identity, ideas, feelings and dreams.

When this chakra is balanced we have positive and authentic self-expression. Communication is easy and effortless. We are honest, empathic and speak our truth lovingly.

Out of balance, this chakra may cause poor communication. It can make us fearful of expressing or standing up for ourselves. We can feel misunderstood or invalidated. There may be a tendency to gossip or lie.

The physical areas of the body associated with the throat chakra are the throat and neck, mouth, thyroid gland.

Third Eye Chakra – Anja. Purple, just above the middle of the brow

The energy centre of intelligence, wisdom, memory and intuition. 

A balanced third eye offers mental clarity, intellect, a sense of oneness/higher power, clear intuition.

If this chakra is out of synch there may be a lack of concentration and imagination. Intuition is poor, prone to judging self or others, nightmares.

The third eye is associated with the pituitary gland, the brain, the base of the skull and the eyes.

Crown Chakra – Sahasrara. Violet, top of the head

The crown chakra is the connection to Source/Universe. It opens up a deeper understanding of ourselves beyond physical awareness. This chakra develops a higher state of consciousness. 

A clear crown chakra is an open channel for spiritual connection, divine wisdom, insight and higher purpose.

We may be overly logical and feel no sense of spirituality or purpose if this chakra is blocked. 

The physical is linked with the pineal gland, top of the skull, nervous system and skin.

The energy exchange (in and out) through the chakras is always flowing and changing. The energy flow may be too much (excessive) or too little (deficient or blocked) in one or more of the chakras. With regular energy clearing and chakra healing (meditation, reiki and other spiritual practices) balance can be restored.

We might however need some imbalance in the chakras for our spiritual growth. Certain experiences, health issues, relationships, and challenges may need to be faced for our soul contract. Regular chakra healing helps to clear unwanted energy and process difficult situations and emotions.

Aromatherapy is a lovely way to practice chakra healing and bring balance to the body and mind. Essential oils can easily be used to help with emotional, psychological and energetic healing.
