Here is a short excerpt from my book on angels. How could anyone fear them, judge them or not embrace them?<\/p>\n

Angels and archangels are spiritual beings whose primary
\nfunction is to act as intermediaries between mortals and God. Angels have
\nfascinated human beings for millennium. The are usually depicted as very
\ngraceful and beautiful beings with wings. When someone says, “You’re an angel”
\nthey usually mean you are a blessing and have probably been very helpful. <\/p>\n

Angels are always willing to be of assistance. They love you
\nand they want you to be happy. They will never interfere in your life unless
\nyou ask for their assistance. Angels can’t do anything for you, but they can
\nguide you, make suggestions, and help you avoid potential obstacles. In return
\nthey simply ask that you deepen your connection with your spirit and open your
\nheart to the powerful forces of love and gratitude.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surprisingly the angelic realms are structured and have
\nhierarchies. Depending on the tradition there are many levels and numerous
\ncategories. The term archangel comes from a Greek term archangelos<\/i> which
\nmeans chief or eminent messenger. They are also known as the ‘Holy Ones.’<\/p>\n

When you are working with the angels take sometime to get to
\nknow them. Each one has a unique personality and each one has an area they
\nexcel in. Once you get to know them you will instinctively know who to call on.
\nAllow them to become your friends and become familiar with all of them. Once
\nyou develop the habit of calling on them you will find it becomes almost second
\nnature to acknowledge their presence and welcome their assistance. They are
\nmore than willing to help you so why not let them!<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n

Make Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend! <\/p>\n
