Angels FM: Tuning Into Your Angelic Intuition And Guidance
Article by Sarah Alexander featured in Soul & Spirit Magazine July 2008
Are you aware that you are naturally and divinely designed to be a receiving device? Imagine receiving transmissions on different inner radio channels. One channel is non-stop wise counsel from the higher dimensions -- let's call it Angels FM, the Peace, Love and Joy channel. Your angels are ever-present messengers from Source, relaying guidance and assistance directly from the Creator to you, the Created. If your attention is accurately tuned in to your intuition, fuzzy reception will not distort the message.
IF PRAYER IS YOU TALKING TO GOD, YOUR INTUITION IS GOD TALKING TO YOU
It's said that, if prayer is you talking to God, your intuition is God talking to you. However, Angels FM has to compete with other inner radio channels, all aggressively trying to distract and dissuade you from following your yearnings and true guidance. Every single day, you surf between these higher and lower vibrational frequencies, allowing your attention to wander according to the events of the moment.
The radio channel to which you choose to pay attention is what determines not only the overall quality of your life, but also your ability to receive angelic guidance and assistance with every aspect of it.
For the clearest reception of the most loving, helpful guidance you can possibly receive, you need to stay tuned in to the highest frequency – to make Angels FM your default, pre-set channel, if you like. Seven steps are essential to achieving this.
Step One - Ask a Question
By Universal Law, your angels are unable to help you unless you ask them (except in matters of life-and-death urgency). Consider for a moment: what do you need help with?
You can ask very specific questions, such as, "Is it in my highest good to apply for this job?" or "Is this the right home to buy?" Or you can ask general questions, such as, "What am I meant to learn from this situation?" or "What is my next step in life?"
Every question is heard and answered, and that is very important to remember. Equally important is a question you must ask yourself: "Am I willing to hear the answer in all its truthfulness?"
Step Two - Be Open and Receptive - and Let Go!
Angels communicate easily with you when you are relaxed, open and receptive. If you try to hear their messages, the strength of your effort actually diminishes your ability to do so. Striving and trying makes us tighten and takes us out of the receptive state needed to hear intuitive guidance.
Put your question or request to the angels and then let it go. Letting it go in the absolute knowledge that you will receive the guidance you need is the key to hearing the answer easily. Answers will come to you in such an easy, natural way that you may often think you're simply making it up (but remember – you listen to Angels FM, not those falsely persuasive and misleading radio channels!). Deep in your gut, though, you will know intuitively and undeniably that your much-needed guidance has arrived.
ANGELS' GUIDANCE IS ALWAYS REPETITIVE, TELLING US OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL WE HEAR IT AND ACT UPON IT
People often expect a great flash of lightning and an instantaneous healing of the problem when they ask for help with specifics. Although instantaneous healing can indeed happen, the desired outcome is usually reached by a series of messages that take us on a step-by-step journey. Something you can and should expect is repetition. This is a defining characteristic of angelic guidance: angels will repeat it over and over again until we hear it and act upon it.
Step Three - Understand Your Angels' Route to Your Attention
Angels communicate with us through four main avenues: clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience and claircognizance. Basic understanding of how these work for you can really help your understanding of the message that your angels are trying to communicate clearly to you. We are all able to receive messages in each of these ways, but often we favour particular ones depending on how our minds habitually process information.
Clairvoyance, meaning clear seeing, is the ability to receive mental images, both in your mind's eye and in the world around you. Strongly visual people – those who thrive on art, beautiful scenery and the "look" of things – can receive their answers this way. Clairvoyance also embraces the imagery that comes during dreams, meditation and simple relaxation. These images are the angels' showing us visions of what is right and possible for us.
Visual guidance may also come as things we are drawn to, or which seem to leap out: a sign, a slogan, a newspaper headline, a book, a magazine bought on impulse. One or more of these visual tweaks to your attention turn out to give you all the information you need to answer your prayer. All such visual messages (and indeed all messages) will be accompanied by an intuitive feeling of rightness: "Yes, that's the answer I need."
ALL ANGELIC MESSAGES WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INTUITIVE FEELING OF RIGHTNESS
Clairsentience, meaning clear feeling, is the ability to feel your angels' messages through your body and emotions. People who are very oriented to their feelings can easily pick up what others feel: they can sense the mood in a room and the intrinsic energy of a place. If you sense in this way, you will always receive guidance through those perfectly aptly named gut feelings. Your feelings about something are literally your answers to your questions about it.
Excitement and passion will draw us towards people and activities that are meant for us; feelings of heaviness and constriction will warn us about those that are not. Where a choice of action is being considered, your angels will suggest imagining how you would feel when following one course, and how you would feel if you did not follow it. Positive bodily feelings signify the right choice.
Clairaudience, meaning clear hearing, is the ability to hear the still, quiet voice of your angels, as well as auditory messages from the world around you that you are specifically meant to hear. Musicians tend to find clairaudience easy. Hearing the voice of an angel whispering to you means that you have attained the quietness of mind necessary for this. More often, you will pick up auditory messages by overhearing conversations, by receiving earthly guidance (requested or not!) from other people, or even by hearing yourself give "guidance" to others. Turning on the television or radio often results in your hearing something that was "meant" for your ears. As noted above, these messages will be accompanied by that intuitive feeling of rightness.
Claircognizance, or clear knowing, is the ability to receive answers directly into your mind through ideas and thoughts that "just come out of the blue". We don’t even know how we know these kinds of things. People to whom this form of guidance comes easily are naturally intelligent thinkers who like to analyze, think things through and consider all options before making a decision. They will receive guidance as a series of steps to take one at a time.
All angelic guidance will be positive, empowering and for the highest good of all. When you take the recommended steps, it always feels good and right, and you know intuitively that you are acting in alignment with your higher purpose.
Step Four - Quiet Time!
Your mind wants to be active all the time, leaping from one thought to another in a way that is completely predictable despite all its activity. To receive your angels' guidance, you will need to take some time every day at least to relax and quieten, and preferably to meditate. Sorry – this does not mean sitting in front of the television with a glass of wine.
It means going to a place where you can be undisturbed for at least ten minutes and preferably 20 - 30 minutes. There, you will allow your body to relax and let go of tension by focusing on your breath. Your breath should gradually deepen into full breaths that gently go all the way down to your abdomen; laying a hand there helps you to feel this. In this full breath, your angels can transmit energy and guidance to you.
People who meditate daily are able to receive guidance more easily because they are used to bringing their minds to quietness and stillness. It doesn't matter what form of meditation you use as long as you are stilling your mind in some way.
During quiet times, call in your angels. If you need immediate guidance, ask the question and see what comes to you there and then. You will receive an answer, although you may need some time to recognise it.
Step Five - Take Time Out in Nature
We all spend a lot of time indoors nowadays. Being outdoors automatically changes your perspective and improves your mood; you are more open, relaxed and able to think clearly. Your angels can readily take advantage of this more receptive state to transmit guidance.
Exercising outdoors is even better. You will naturally take deeper, fuller breaths, and can easily receive intuitive messages during and after exercise. Brisk walking or jogging is all that is needed to make you breathe in a way that opens you to your angels' transmissions.
Step Six - Eat Lots But Eat Lightly
The heavier your diet, the more you clog up your reception of Angels FM. Lots of red meat, dairy products, sugar, chocolate and caffeine, and taking alcohol or any form of so-called recreational drug (including cigarettes) will make it difficult for you to hear guidance.
Fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and other light foods such as legumes and seeds help you to maintain your vibrational clarity and receptivity. If you feel an intuitive need for meat or fish, ensure that you eat organic meats and ocean-caught or wild fish, which are of a higher vibration themselves than "regular" or factory-farmed products. By lightening your diet, you will not only be more open to angelic guidance, but you will also be giving your body a huge boost towards looking and feeling better.
Step Seven - Trust and Act upon It
This is perhaps the most important step. Your trust in the guidance you receive is key to your success at co-creating your desires with your angels. If you are unsure of what messages you are receiving in response to a certain question, ask for three clear signs that show you exactly what you are to do. (Remember that guidance is always repetitive.) Be open to how these signs may come to you, and note them when they do. Most importantly, act upon them!
Some people appear to be very swift at receiving and following their angels' messages. They are the ones who are willing to trust the information enough to act upon it with total faith, even if it appears to take them down a different path to the one they were expecting.
All it takes to hear your angel’s intuitive guidance is willingness to listen, willingness to trust what you are given, and willingness to act upon the information you receive. The big question is whether you are willing to select and hold your angelic channel in the first place?
