I also found out that in most Indic languages the word<br \/>\nfor Thursday is <i>Guruvar<\/i> meaning guru day. I love trivia like that.<\/p>\n<p>Who invented God and angels? Who am I? Why am I here? Those are the kinds of questions that have used to run around in my brain. When I asked those questions as a little girl the responses were often far from reassuring or loving. <\/p>\n<p>As an adult I have found that actually there are no words to describe what it feels like to have a conscious connection with the angelic realms or with God. It is a feeling beyond love, totally free of judgment, expansive, nurturing and totally and completely safe. <\/p>\n<p>How do you achieve a personal relationship with the celestial realms?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nWhen I decided to have a conscious connection with God one of my mentors told me to make sure my definition of God was loving and as he put it, &#8220;Someone I could do business with.&#8221; Letting go of all my old liiting beliefs about God certainly helped me a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The same was true when I began working with angels. As long as they were WAY up there and I was WAY down here we couldn&#8217;t become friends and believe me having God and angels as friends sure improves the quality of your life drastically.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to my mentor I began talking with God and angels like they were my best friend. My prayers became loving, open conversations and I always made sure I allowed plenty of time to listen.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you connect to the angelic realms? How often do you talk with God? So, if you don &#8216;t want Thor to shoot thunderbolts at you maybe today is a good day to start talking, said lovingly and with a big smile.<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/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<br \/>\nYour Shoulder<\/a>  part of your daily routine and share it with a<br \/>\nfriend!
