I believe in angels.

I feel them.

I see them–in a way, it’s like with my mind’s eye, but sometimes there is almost a form. It feels like a dense block of energy, like the air is heavier sometimes over people’s shoulders. That’s how it is for me. I know everyone’s experience is different.

I talk to them, they talk to me.

Talking about angels can seem taboo, too woo woo for some, but I honestly find them to be the most approachable of all the spiritual things–especially when so many people I work with, via one-on-one coaching or at a live event, are in a place of transition with God or their “religion.” Angels are a good neutral third party to the DIVINE that don’t evoke as much STUFF.

As I’ve thought A LOT about the messages I feel called or WANT to share, one thing on my heart has been ANGELS.

I want to just come out more boldly and tell you they saved my life. When I’ve been too hurt, mad, traumatized, confused or too sad to trust in, talk to, or want anything to do with God, angels held me. When I didn’t want to be on this earth anymore, they convinced me to stay.

My grandma’s have surrounded me, my friends who have passed have assured me they have an eye on my kids. My friend John who died so tragically and suddenly makes jokes with me and sends me nonsense songs ALL THE TIME.

I got really into flowers again when the angels showed up. They took me to the flowers, they knew the flowers could heal me, keep me on the earth, and help me find purpose and joy after a year or so of the darkest inner hell.

I’m not sure how little or much I want to share about my personal experiences, but I do want to tell you my PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS of how Angels operate. AND share some resources I’ve loved that have helped me draw closer.

Here’s what I know about how Angels work:

ALL OF THIS IS **GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ALISON** MEANING TAKE WHAT YOU WANT AND LEAVE THE REST!

1. IT’S ALL ENERGY BABY!
   • I adore Quantum Physics because I can’t quite understand it, but it FEELS true. HA! BUT everything is energy. You cannot destroy energy, it transfers, it transforms. I believe angels make sense because I believe in life after death and a caring creator, but ALSO because I believe in energy.
2. YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTHY
   • I don’t think you have to be sure about God, Goddess, or have some level of KNOWING to “earn” or be “worthy” to have access to angelic guidance. Meaning, if you don’t feel like you’re “allowed” to try to access angels because you’ve left your religion…GOD DOES NOT CARE. Sorry, this is my gospel, and that’s what I’ve found. God, Goddess, the Universe THEY ARE FOR YOU, they want Truth to bring you to your FULLNESS. So why on earth would they punish you for not finding them in a certain place? Angels are like Divine teammates, they are ALL ROOTING FOR YOU.
3. ASKING IS THE ONLY REQUIREMENT
   • You have access to angels based on ONE SIMPLE THING: ASK.
   • Ask for them, ask for their help. Ask for a sign, ask for a confirmation. Tell them you’re open. Look for them. If you ask, THEY WILL RESPOND. If you do not look for, or try to hear them, you might miss it. But that doesn’t mean nothing happened. Ask. ASK AND LOOK. That’s it.
4. ANGELS ARE NOT CREEPY STALKERS
   • Listen, I think free agency and privacy are important, and I KNOW angels do too. They are not going to spy on you, watch you do icky things, or invade your space. If you do not want or allow them in your space, they will keep their distance. I don’t know all of the logistics, GEESH, but I just feel like this is common sense. Don’t be stressed that you’re giving unfettered access.
5. ANGELS ARE FOR YOU- BUT NOT YOURS TO WEILD
   • I think a lot of people freak out over things like Tarot Cards, Angels, or even mediums because they see it all as some way to “tell the future” or control events in a specific way. I do not see it that way. I see symbols, messages, or inspired ideas as tools to understand complex topics. Symbols can invite us into a new understanding or thought. It’s the way the earth can communicate. Letters are symbols of sounds, which represent words. Nothing is EXACT, it is symbolic–so we can transcend physical limitations.
   • I do not believe that accessing angelic guidance is us mere mortals trying to play God or take His place. I see it like this: your Divine Team wants your FULLEST expansion of self. For you to be all you can be. They cannot stop your suffering, but they can be there with you in it. They will not go and smite someone for you, but they might be able to open your heart to insight so you can better understand.
6. ANGELS HAVE SPECIALTIES
   • I believe the gifts people have in life go with them. When I have needed help completing a project I have felt the presence of people who have passed who were experts in that thing. When I give a keynote and I’m freaking out about my makeup I talk to my Angel Whippy, who in life was a makeup artist. I ask her to inspire my hands and skills so I can feel more confident. I feel her with me. Telling me “Alison, you shine no matter what.” I don’t transform or embody her, I simply feel her encouragement.

AHHHHHH I have so much more to say, but I REALLY want to know what YOU guys know about angels? PLEASE SHARE! OK MAYBE I’LL wait to add my resources until I see if anyone has any questions or ideas to add?

Alison
