They can appear in many shapes and sizes. Some look like people, others cute animals, while still others appear as a thought, a beautiful flower or a wisp of fresh air. They surround us all the time if we are just open and willing to acknowledge them.<\/p>\n<h3>Spending time with the angels<\/h3>\n<p>What if, every morning you took just a few minutes, a few quiet moments to acknowledge and listen to the angels? At first you might not hear a thing, but if you just open your heart and acknowledge the angels you will feel a sense of peace settling over you. If you wonder if they exist or if they are there for you or if you are doing it right you probably won\u2019t feel anything.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The trick to working with angels is to simply \u2018know\u2019 they are there. I too can doubt and feel disconnected. I can question and in the process ignore and discount their loving, ever-present nature. Just like the air you breathe they are always there, just a thought away.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know that every rainbow is unique?<\/h3>\n<p>Each rainbow is formed from light that hits your eye at a very precise angle. Someone standing next to you will see light from a slightly different angle and therefore see a different rainbow. I love rainbows and no one else can see the same rainbow as me. We are all unique and special.<\/p>\n<p>Believe and know you are surrounded by angels. Feel their love. Or doubt and wonder and feel alone, it is up to you. Practice breathing in love and breathing out love, quiet your mind and listen for the gentle, loving guidance of the angels. It is there, just be still and listen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2011\/06\/welcoming-the-angels-into-your-home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Calling the angels into your home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angels are quiet, gentle beings.
