Guardian Angel, Walk Angelward

Guardian Angels

We each have an angel assigned to us, a guardian angel, who accompanies us along our paths through lifetimes. Our angel has an overview that it is not possible for us to have. Angelic awareness sees, takes in, and remembers everything for us. As the carrier of our higher self, our angel can remember what we have been and who we want to become. Angels listen to our thoughts. Our angel’s eyes radiate love, recognition. To become aware of one’s angel is to feel oneself to be watched over, seen and deeply recognized.

 The Angel In You

   Rose Auslander

Elihu Vedder, The Sorrowing Soul Between Doubt and Faith

The angel in you

Rejoices over

Your light

Weeps over your darkness

Out of his wings whisper

Words of love

Poems, tender affection.

He watches over

Your path

Direct your step

Angelward.

 But our angel and the spiritual world have given all of us a particularly precious and important gift—our freedom. Nothing is determined. Opportunities are presented to us. Our angel may gently suggest through inspirations, thoughts, atmospheres, will impulses. But whether we respond, or not, and how we respond, is entirely up to us. How we play our life’s music is our choice.

How can we strengthen our connection with our own angel? How can we work in community with the world of the angels? Every quieting of feelings of irritation or anger or envy or fear creates space for our angel’s clarity of conscious and overview to enter our souls. All our efforts at meditation, all religious practice, contribute to this. (It is not important whether we judge ourselves to be successful or not in these endeavors; what angels can make use of is the strength of our striving; it is the activity itself that is of use to them.) All these help us in walking with our angel; they are ways of ‘directing our steps angelward’.
