Sometimes I get signs that there are Angels and some kind of amazing force guiding me and helping me along my journey.

I have always been interested in this sort of thing based on my experiences and the stories I’ve heard from my family.

Regardless of the religion I have been raised I always have felt just really spiritual and connected to something greater than me without really knowing why or what it was, just trusting that there was something.

Gabrielle Bernstein, my mentor is really the one who taught me that in my adult life to pray and that praying really is just a conversation with whatever you believe is out there, guiding you.   It’s not even about any religion – it’s about your own personal spirituality.  Gabby says “praying is asking for help and meditating is listening for the answer.”   So I do that. A lot.  I mean imagine if you could have a direct connection to something divine giving you personal feedback.  Pretty cool right.

I often ask for signs from God, The Universe, my spirit guides and guardian angels (whatever you believe is out there for you) to guide me, to confirm if the path I’m heading down and daily decisions I make are the right ones and to help me make decisions along the way.  I always pray before I create any kind of art, project or blog that I be guided to create something of the highest good for as many people as I can help or inspire and to share my gift with the world. That is why I feel I have been called to write on this topic.

I was watching one of Gabby’s weekly vlogs and she introduced this spiritual medium of whom I have heard before and have seen on Doctor Oz,  Rebecca Rosen.  I clicked, found her book on Amazon “Awaken The Spirit Within”.
And I started to read the preview but was so captivated that I could not draw my eyes away. I had to get the book.

Ever since my father passed away when I was 12 and my grandpa passed away 11 years after that, I am captivated by all things related to spiritual mediums and people who can “talk to those who have passed”.   If I could talk to my Dad or Grandpa just for another second I would do anything.

Planning a wedding, I’m missing my Dad and Grandpa. Making decisions and making moves on my career path, I’m missing them.  In all of the seasons, and all of the holidays, I am missing them.  So I talk to them everyday in my mind and I call them part of my “light team”, my team of people who have passed, including ancestors who are watching over me.  It connects me to them in some way and strengthens the spiritual relationship I have with them. If that is the only way I can talk to them for now, I’ll take it.

I have learned through all the books I have read on this subject that even in death, they never really leave you. Their spirits are always present for you to call upon at anytime.

So, on that note (and after that long introduction) I wanted to share a few things with you that could possibly inspire you or make it easier if you are missing anyone who has passed away.

My family has always received signs that they are being guided, or that someone is saying hello in the form of white feathers and pennies.  Keep an eye out – you may be getting signs in other ways. They are meaningful, don’t just dismiss them.

From the book “Awaken The Spirit Within” Rebecca writes that sometimes after people pass away, family members loose their faith in God, that they struggle to “believe in a God who would allow such a tragedy to take place, ….(and) not just because this tragedy happened to (our) family but because many happen around the world every day to people of all ages and stations in life.”  Rebecca says that sometimes spirits send pennies to remind them to have faith, because on the U.S. coin it says “In God We Trust.”  – Reading that sent shivers down my spine.  Now the pennies we have been finding in our homes right by our feet all these years make sense. (And no they did not just fall out of our wallet)

Rebecca says there are many different types of Angels and that “Angels are highly evolved spiritual beings… who watch over us and keep us safe.”  She says “Within your lifetime, you may have sensed this warm and loving angelic energy around you, felt it guide you or help you heal during troubling times. Angels are very inventive. They send us signs and arrange coincidences or “synchronicities,” as a way of letting us know we are on the right path.” She says to all on them 24/7.

There are so many stories I can tell about things that have personally happened to me and my experiences, so if you are interested feel free to ask.

But on that note, I’ll leave you with one more excerpt from her book.

“Lately, everywhere I go – to the gym, the grocery store, my neighborhood Starbucks – I notice people who look like they are sleepwalking through life. Distracted, disconnected, I see them stumbling around, going through their everyday motions, but not fully awake to their lives.… Both women and men of all ages, from kindergarten teachers to CEO’s, show up at my doorstep lost and confused, like they haven’t yet had their first cup of morning coffee.  They plead with me to give them clarity. They want to know ‘Where is my life going? Why do I feel like I’m running in circles?’ Some show up searching for deeper understanding. They want to know, ‘Rebecca, can I ever truly be happy and fulfilled in life.’ Some boldly ask ‘What is the point of my life? Help me understand what I’m meant to do.’ They are desperate for answers and they look to me to give them clear direction.”

She goes on to say “As babies, we are energetic bundles of divine love and light – pure vessels containing God’s powerful DNA- and yet almost as soon as we are born into this physical world, we begin to forget what we’re truly made of and where we come from. We fall asleep. Or rather our spirit nods off and our mind takes control of the wheel.”

“Ninety percent of the world lives in a mind existence; most of us are stuck in our heads. Given those numbers, odds are that you, too, are thinking your way though life.” …..  Read more here.

So, did you forget your purpose, or are you living fully awake and connected to your divine bloodline and in tune to what you are meant to do? Need help? Just call upon your angels.

As always,
Hope that inspires you
