In most cases Angels do not directly act upon the earth plane. It is necessary in most cases for a human to be directed to action or to another's aid by a guardian or a messenger angel. That is why, if you remain open to being directed, you will have an urgency to pray for someone or feel directed to someone or some place. If you pay attention to that urge you may be directed to some place where you have never been before. Once you get to that place the angel will also direct you to a more specific place where someone might be in grave danger, trapped or drowning, hurt or being hurt. If you need greater help than you alone can offer, many times people with specialized skills will be directed to you by their guardian angels. It is not a coincidence that the right people show up at a terrible scene just at the right moment. It is a highly coordinated effort by angels working through human contact and with human prayers.

When angels interact with us on the earth plane they are not regulated by our earthly time; they can explode through time. That is why many times we feel that time stood still, or that it flew by in a crisis situation. Because they operate at such a higher frequency and vibration, the speed with which something is accomplished is at a lightning speed compared to our limited time capacity. If you are open to their presence you can talk to them and begin to hear them as you further develop you can also sense them physically and even see them. Often times people cannot see them because angels are vibrating at a high frequency and we are usually not that purified or clear to vibrate at a frequency which allows us to discern them.

On occasion, I have sensed an angelic being, and on two occasions I have had visions of two angels. On one occasion I just sensed her presence. I was in a period of great distress, and I felt so alone and isolated, and I was weeping with my head down. I felt this very gentle touch on my hair and my shoulder. I was being consoled by this gentle female presence. The softest female voice said to me. ?My beautiful baby. My precious little girl. Shhh. I'm here.? After some time, I felt loved.

The first time that I clearly saw a male angel was a time that I was working in a Reiki Circle and I was giving Reiki to a black man named Joseph. Joseph was quite beautiful, and he had a goatee and long braids. I stood behind Joseph and I felt the angel envelop both of us. I had my hand on Joseph's shoulders. At that moment my hands were covered with great big hands and I felt the angel step up behind me quite close. There was a huge sweep upward through my body like a warm breeze and this gentle but consistent feeling of being embraced by a tremendously kind being. Then I saw these massive arms with a massive torso of the being. He had a perfectly formed male body. But he was about eight feet tall. He was stunning brilliant white with huge billowy wings. I could see and feel the awesomeness of him. He spoke this very clearly into my ears so that I thought the other people in the room could hear: ? This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. He carries a great message.?

After we had finished the Reiki circle I was filled with great joy. I spoke to Joseph and told him what I had seen. I don't think that he believed me. I don't think he thought that he was worthy. I was taking a photograph of beautiful foliage with red and orange leaves in up state New York, and I was really filled with joy. When I developed the picture, there was this column of light for no apparent reason. I believe it was an angel making its presence known to me.

Angels can also physically intercede in times of great tragedy, and desperate moments when every available human resource and technology has been exhausted. The television show It's A Miracle described a man who was drowning in choppy waters and no one was able to reach him. He had gone under the water several times and the waves and current were very strong. The churning water soon overwhelmed him and he began to plunge down, being caught up in seaweed as he struggled. As he was fully under the water and losing his last bit of air, he described a person who suddenly swam very swiftly towards him, pulled him free from the seaweed and hauled him up to the surface. This young male swimmer then swam with him, carried him to the shore and brought him five feet up the beach. Even though the drowning man was speaking to the young man, the young man never said a word. The moment that he was laid down, the rescued man opened his eyes and looked around to find that he was all alone. His friends ran about a hundred yards down the beach to him. His rescuer had mysteriously disappeared. Bewildered, he asked his friends where the young man had gone and no one could answer him or say how he was pulled out. Some of his friends thought that they had seen him washed up on the shore. Others said that they heard him crying out further down the beach, and that is what caught their attention. He is still here to tell his story because an angel interceded on his behalf.copyright 2006 Yoga Kat
