Angels & Archangels

 What are Angels?

 Angels are high spiritual beings that act as messengers or intermediaries from God (or Source). 

Angels live in the 7^th dimension, often referred to as the ‘7^thHeaven’. Humans generally live in the 3^rd dimension and as we evolve spiritually we are able to work in the 4^th dimension and then 5^th and so forth, gradually ascending.

Angels act on behalf of God and therefore they do not have free will like humans do. They act with divine will, or the will of God. When we want angels to assist us, we usually need to ask them to do so. They only occasionally intervene or act without request from us in ways to steer us when an event or occurrence may interfere with the Divine Plan. However, angels have ‘appeared’ in human form in order to influence people when this has been considered the most effective way to intervene or help a person/people.

When we pray for help from the angels they work for God and therefore we are asking for his assistance. There are many types of angels such as angels of peace, happiness, laughter, love, healing, romance, but when we ask for assistance we do not need to specify a type as the right ones will assist when we ask. There are also many Archangels who work directly with God and have many angels working with them on their specific rays.

How Can We Connect with Angels?

 The best way for any human to connect with angels is to behave and act in ways that would be considered ‘angelic’ – with love and peace in your heart. Angels act with total and complete love and compassion and are only able to act in these ways. They are ‘Unconditional Love’. They welcome requests but will not interfere with another person’s free will on the instruction of another human. Permission is always sought from a person’s higher self before they intervene at the request of another person.

As humans evolve and become more ‘angelic’ and pure through positive and loving acts of compassion and unconditional love for each other, we develop energy type wings in the etheric. These can be felt in the aura by others.

Eating organic and natural foods and drinking plenty of fresh water can assist in purifying the body for better connection to the angels and beings of light. Regular exercise and spending time in nature will also assist the process as will plain old practice!

It is worth bearing in mind that things can also hinder the process such as eating meat and dairy products, processed sugars, chemicals, alcohol and drugs, smoking, caffeine intake.

The ego can also act as a barrier to connection, particularly when you have a lack of confidence in your ability to connect and you feel afraid or anxious. If you are angry or judgemental this will also cause a block to their guidance as will the feeling of your own self-importance or superiority.

Any extreme emotion will generally impede progress and a successful connection as it will keep you firmly in the third dimension, unable to connect with those of the seventh dimension.

Feeling the energy of angels

Every human being will have at least one Guardian Angel with them. This is irrespective of the type of person that this human being is – good or bad. 

You can invite your Guardian Angel to touch your aura. You may feel a physical touch or just be aware of a subtle change of temperature or have an overwhelming sense that somebody is there. Often people feel flooded by an energy of love. There may be a particular smell associated with your Guardian Angel/s.

People with psychic ability may be able to see them.

Breathing the colour gold and staying calm will enhance the ability to feel their presence. If a person is distressed or emotional then it may be difficult to feel any sensation at all. It is more difficult for angels to touch a person in that state. If you cannot feel anything, don’t worry – just know that they are with you.

Finding out the name of your Guardian Angel

For some people, this is just given and there is a strong sense of ‘knowing’. However, most people will find out the name of their Guardian Angel/s during meditation.

It is not essential to know the name/s of your Guardian Angel/s but it does assist in building a personal relationship with them. If you call their name it will also help them to be able to enter your energy field faster and easier with the increased vibration of their name. Knowing their name/s also provides a psychic link.

When trying to find out the name, it is important to not try too hard. Open your mind and accept what is given to you. Be relaxed and receptive, opening the right side of the brain. During meditation or quiet contemplation it is important to accept the first name that is given to you. If you receive more than one name then there may be more than one angel working with you. It could also mean that you have been given the name of one of your guides in addition to the name of your Guardian Angel/s.

How can I ask for help?

As mentioned above, your personal angels are with you all the time. However, if you want their assistance you must ask as they cannot intervene without your instruction. You have free will. Even in times of distress they must stand by helpless unless you ask them to help you.

You can call on any angel for anything.   The right angel will respond. But remember, an angel will only act with love and compassion. They will not respond to demands from the ego.

Sit calm and centred (in a quiet space if possible) and ask for assistance. Ask for your prayer to be answered for the highest good. Be clear about what you are asking for, giving specific details and timeframes if necessary.

Can I ask for help for somebody else?

You can ask for intervention on behalf of somebody else. Your requests create grace and allow the angels to form a bridge of light to the other person or people. They can then direct their energy to where it is needed.

You do not need to worry about whether the request you are making is against a person’s free will as the angels work within the confines of Divine or Spiritual Law. Before they can help a person they seek permission from the person’s higher self. This is the same for situations and places.

If the person will not allow their help then they will wait until such a time that their help will be accepted. If this does not happen then the energy will be used to form a pool of light that can be drawn on by higher forces when needed.

Signs from the Angels

The most common sign is a small white feather

Hearing angel songs or music at a crucial time

Shapes of angels in the clouds, trees, rocks, mud etc

Pictures of angels – TV, magazines, etc at crucial times

Birds flying close by and other feathers

Rainbows appearing

Ways in which Angels can help

Angels can help with healing:

They can help heal YOU, Others, Situations, Problems etc

Talk to the angels about the issues that you would like their assistance with. Be specific and then release these issues and requests to them. They may not answer your prayers in the way that you would expect but be sure that they will be working hard to solve the problem for the highest good.

Remember, angels can heal over distance and time! There are no obstacles that can stand in their way but they will only act in line with Spiritual Law.

They can help us to heal situations that are occurring in the world right now such as wars, famines and disaster zones.

As well as healing they can also help to improve and strengthen relationships and situations by promoting harmony, peace and unconditional love throughout.

You can ask them to enhance relationships and situations by invoking happiness, fun, laughter, understanding, respect etc

Ancestral Healing

This is one very fascinating branches of healing that at present gets very little attention. A significant part of our life patterning stems from our genetic inheritance. 

The Importance of the Ancestors

In many cultures, both sophisticated and primitive, a great deal of attention is given to the ancestral family; ancestor worship is one of the most widespread of all religious belief systems. In Ancient Egypt, specific requests were made to the ancestors to help resolve daily problems. The ancestors were seen as having a direct link with the spiritual world and therefore in a position to bring positive benefit to the family. It was perhaps also intuitively realised how directly their energies affected the world of the living family.

Modern cultures have forgotten much of this inner knowing.  How many of them think about or remember their grandparents or great grandparents?  Only some do; but it is more in terms of their achievements, prestige and position in society and the like.

At a spiritual level, time and space impose no restrictions so, in one sense, your ancestors are living concurrently with you. This can be a hard concept to take on board, for the Western mind has become conditioned into thinking only in linear terms. 

Revering our ancestors
Most indigenous cultures believe that their ancestors are a vital force in their lives. This is especially true among Native Americans and the Aborigines. For example, the Navajo honor the perspective of seven generations of their ancestral lineage when making a significant decision that affects their family or community. Even though the ancestor's body is no longer alive, that person's soul is thought to be very much alive.

In his book, Karma and Reincarnation, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, says:

"The parent/child connection manifests as one link in a long chain of ancestral karma that stretches back through time. Your link to your family allows you to be born into that specific line - it is a link that needs to be understood and respected. In this modern scientific age it is very difficult for people to accept the fact that they are responsible to their ancestors, that they are actually liable for the actions of their ancestors if the resulting karma has not yet been dissolved. Many find it absurd to think that the actions of an unknown ancestor could possible have anything to do with what is happening to them today. But time and time again when investigating someone's karma, I find problems that stretch back generations. Their spirit is not just an individual entity, it is also part of the family spirit that births and nurtures it."

In my Indian culture, every male member is supposed to do a ceremony, any time during his lifetime he has to visit Goya and do a 'Pindi Daan' for fourteen ancestral members ... seven generations; but now, you try to ask your parents about your ancestors, nobody knows anything or they are not interested; or don't want to talk about it.

Ancestral Healing
Ancestral Healing involves Healing your ancestors' unresolved emotional issues, problems or trauma. In so doing, it releases you from any energetic patterns that link you to them - patterns that can have an inhibiting or disruptive influence on your life today.

This Healing process is important because we are impacted by emotional and energetic patterns from prior generations in our family. Some of these can create obstacles in our lives, blocking our pathway to joy, abundance, authentic power and unlimited possibilities.

Since energy is never lost, but simply changes form over time, emotional issues or problems that were not dealt with by your ancestors, or not fully resolved, can 'hover' in your energy field today, creating an imbalance or roadblock - also known as a Healing opportunity.

Ancestral Healing can transform energetic patterns that are not in your highest good, or are preventing you from carrying out your soul's mission and life's purpose. If you are experiencing recurring patterns where things get in the way of feeling satisfied, enriched or successful, then ancestral Healing may be the missing link that can free you to attain personal fulfillment.

We carry in our bodies the stories, illnesses, tragedies, pain, and grief of our ancestors. Oftentimes we are unconscious of how the energy of old family wounds informs how we think and act in everyday life. This is why we see patterns of abuse, incest, addiction, poor health and many other traits passed down through generations. From a shamanic perspective, these traits are seen as energetic imprints in our Luminous Energy Field (read Illuminations) which need to be cleared so the ancestral pattern ceases to inform our behavior or health.

Many people with traumatic family histories may need ancestral healing for personal healing to occur.

Ancestral imprints may manifest as:

• A debilitating belief or emotion (eg., patterns of grief / sadness, aggressiveness, betrayal, etc.) which you share with other members of your family lineage.
• A particularly destructive behavior such as substance abuse, addiction, incest, stealing, etc. which runs through your family
• Health problems, accidents or episodes that appear in “themes” along a male or female lineage. For example: men of the family having heart attacks in their mid 40’s or back injuries that befall women of the family at a particular age.
• Patterns of being abused, hurt, unsupported, unavailable or betrayed in relationships.

Clearing Your Ancestral Blocks

Ancestral Patterns

The concept behind this form of healing is quite simple. It suggests that where traumas, problems or strong types of behaviour have occurred with one or other of your forebears, the energy from this experience gets passed on to future generations. This is so even if the experience happens after the direct offspring have been born. Conversely if you heal one of the ancestral patterns it becomes immediately available to your own offspring. The reasons why this should happen is I believe based on 'resonance'. We carry at a genetic level the resonant patterns of our forebears which, like a radio set tuned to our ancestors, allows a transfer of energy or information to take place. Healing this type of situation can be carried out in exactly the same way that you would apply 'distant' healing. You do not need to have a clear picture in your mind of the way that your ancestors looked for the healing to be effective.

In his book "Healing the Family Tree" Dr. Kenneth McAll recounts a case of a woman in her early thirties who suddenly developed a fear of water. Researching into her family patterns she found that an uncle had died in the Titanic disaster. A healing service was carried out in which the uncle was "committed.... to the Lord". Healing this ancestor freed the woman from her phobia. In most cases it is only necessary to deal with your direct ancestors, that is your parents, grandparents and great grandparents, but in some cases, such as the one just cited, healing another relative may also be appropriate.

Sometimes the traumas carried by our ancestors can be very powerful and in these cases it can be beneficial to work with a therapist or friend. 

Ancestral Myths

In the Ancient Egyptian story of Isis and Osiris, his brother Set cut Osiris into 14 pieces. This is a curious number that does not find echo in other traditions. However, it is worth noting that 14 is the sum total of your ancestors back to your great grandparents generation. Adding your parents (2), to your grandparents (4) and your great grandparents (8) gives 14 ancestors in all. It could well be that part of the symbolism of this myth is to do with healing our genetic patterning, through our forebears. In the myth Osiris is reconstructed by Isis which relates to the "love" principle within.

Many of this cleansing and integration is done in an involuntary and unconscious way, but it take up a diverse range of life experiences, and often many incarnations, to be fully cleared up.

When this is done, the karmic residues, stagnated energies of old contracts and dense energies of basic fears and feelings such as guilt, unforgiveness and resentments can get released and healed permanently. 

Making peace Ancestral Healing is based on the belief that what happened in your family, before your current life, is present or alive in your energy field today. Accordingly, any unresolved conflict your ancestors had - including unhealed emotional wounds, damaging judgments and other limitations - may be in your energetic grid, since this is part of the larger energy pattern of your entire family. Ancestral Healing allows us to make peace with the members of our family, going back many generations. From Lily's experience, ancestral Healing usually starts in the 3rd generation, or two generations before your current life - at the grandparent level. Occasionally Healings involve 10 or 15 generations of family members, dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years. How the process works If you are feeling held back, stymied or blocked in some way, and usual methods for clearing or opening up the congestion have not worked, Lily will check to see if any one of your ancestors is 'calling out' for help. If she gets a confirmation of this, Lily will ask you to call in your Higher Self along with the Higher Selves of your ancestors who wish to be healed. Having the intention to co-create this Healing experience is key to its success. Since energy is not constrained by time or space, it is possible to connect with the Higher Selves of ancestors who have crossed over, even if they have since returned to this side, or reincarnated. With Ancestral Healing, you can break any energetic cords or patterns that are no longer serving you, and turn your life around in a most positive way. Ancestral healing involves clearing the imprint from our body by integrating several different shamanic healing methods. Generally this requires several sessions which would include an Illumination, extraction, soul retrieval and the spirit releasing of deceased relatives. Ancestral healing helps us step out of the patterns we have lived so we can walk our path with clarity and make peace with our family histories.

Spiritual Intrusions & Extractions:

Spiritual intrusions are caused by negative thought forms, such as anger, grief or other unresolved feelings, that we have taken into our bodies in response to hurt or a projection from someone else. An intrusion can also begin from chronic self abuse and negative self talk or from a physical injury. The expression of being “stabbed in the back” is more than a simple metaphor. In the shamanic perspective, these are psychic darts and arrows that we encounter when negative thoughts and feelings are directed towards us. An Intrusion can manifest as localized pain in the body, illness or depression. Left untended an intrusion can turn into a chronic illness. Intrusions often appear in situations where our Spirit has been weakened and made vulnerable by soul loss or power loss. A spiritual extraction involves removing and releasing the intrusion, clearing the affected area and is generally followed with a soul retrieval.

Spirit Releasing & Clearings:  (Cutting Chords)

Severe grief or trauma at the time of death can leave a soul confused, angry, or disoriented. Rather than moving into the light these suffering beings remain on the earth plane attaching themselves to people (possession) or places (hauntings).

• Symptoms of possession may include:
• Depression
• Inexplicable mood swings or personality shifts,
• Substance abuse, binges, or uncontrollable addictions

Spirit releasing compassionately helps these souls move to a place of peace and frees the client from the influences of the suffering being.

Illuminations:

Our physical body is surrounded by a Luminous Energy Field (like an aura) which is an invisible matrix that holds the imprint of all our karmic, personal and ancestral memories, traumas and wounds. These imprints can become activated to mirror a personal history that repeats itself by compelling us towards behaviors, relationships, accidents or illnesses that replicate the original trauma. An Illumination is the shamanic clearing of the negative imprints in our Luminous Energy Field, it is an ancient energy healing technique that comes from the Q’ero shamans of Peru, the descendants of the Inca.

An Illumination is helpful when:

• You feel stuck in a behavioral pattern which continues to repeat itself
• You are struggling to heal from traits (health or emotional) that are part of your ancestry
• Emotional traumas of your past continue to haunt you and do not respond well to other healing modalities

In the Inca tradition of Illumination, the imprints to the Luminous Energy Field appear as sluggish energy around the chakras. During the healing, the heavy emotional energy of the imprint is drained through the chakra, then the imprint itself is erased through the use of focused intention and breath. When the imprint is erased, we are no longer informed by the wounds of our past or ancestry.
