Signs

Posted on Aug 4th, 2006 by Wendy : Kindred Spirit Wendy
A few days ago, I got the following article in my inbox from the Daily Om. I practiced this meditation last night. This morning, on my run, a feather actually dropped from a tree. How amazing is that??? (I've bolded the part in the article that relates to this experience.) Life is truly wonder-full!

An Invitation To Love
Angel Meditation

Though your host of spirit guides encompasses many diverse beings, all of which willingly watch over you, meditating with angels can be a uniquely insightful experience. The angels stationed at your side are both powerful and knowledgeable-they possess a limitless understanding of your needs and desires, your strengths and weaknesses, and your purpose. However, angels take an active part in our lives only when invited to do so. Meditation allows you to make contact with your angels and lovingly request that they participate actively in your day-to-day life.

To begin, retreat to a solitary place where you won't be distracted by concerns. Incense and candlelight may aid you in achieving a meditative state but are not necessary. However, laying an image of an angel, angel statue, or item symbolizing your angels before you can focus your thoughts. Sit comfortably, breathe deeply, and let yourself relax. When you feel peaceful, invite your angels from the highest of light to sit with you as you meditate. Mentally repeat your request and reiterate that this time together is important to you. Then, in your mind's eye, visualize a bright-white light floating above you. As you breathe, draw this light first into the crown of your head and then into the whole of your physical self. Allow this light to spread through your arms and hands, your core, and your lower body. Repeat this integration of illumination with a violet light.

Once again, ask your angels to be with you. Let the stillness surrounding you enter your soul, and open your heart to your angel guides. If they wish to communicate a message, they will do so now. Allow them to wrap their wings around you and infuse you with their bountiful love. Breathe them in as you did the light. As the meditation draws to a close, you may feel a presence, fluttering wings, or billowing fabric, or you may see an angel in your mind's eye. Thank them for providing you with love and light, and being with you as you meditated. If you don't sense or feel anything, there is no cause for worry-you can be certain your angels are with you. Don't be surprised if you start to see signs throughout the day that your angels are near, perhaps a feather at your doorstep. As you practice this meditation, you will become increasingly adept at recognizing when your angels are near and sensing their presence.

Glad you are a runner!
One time when I was out running, I thought of an insiteful action. It was outlandish, so I told my spirit guides that I needed a sign. Then, about 100 feet further on, a baby turtle crossed my path. That was the symbol for me to explore.

SF - I love it when the Universe sends us signs like these. They are so abundant if only we are open to them! Thanks for sharing your turtle story. Turtles are a sign of good luck!

I've only started to take up running but love it and am hooked!

Yep, the angels need us to ask for their help, thats their job and they love it too. Their loving presence feels like a support, and warmth; they have been there guiding my life, they have send me pictures or told me what i would be doing at certain times in my life;
I can just imagine that when we don't ask for their help they just sit waiting shaking their heads looking at us struggle when they know they could carry us forward…!
Just come to think of it that ur invitation for friendship is one of my angels reminder of its presence…so thank u Wendy for this feather!!

Spirit Flower's comment made me want to share a turtle story about a cosmic sign – I love turtles (especially sea turtles), and at the company where I used to work, people used to bring me little knick-knack turtles from time to time – when I decided to leave that company, I quit with no notice (long story) and didn't tell any co-workers

on my last day, I walked into my office and there was a turtle on my keyboard – and as if that wasn't auspicious enough, at 3 p.m. a co-worker told me there was a desert tortoise just outside our building that was stranded on a concrete ledge – I rescued it and took it a few hundred feet away to a grassy area – it was a very tangible act of moving a living creature from an unnatural environment to a natural one (which is what I was doing by choosing to leave that job) – my “two-turtle day” felt like a really big cosmic affirmation that leaving my job was the right thing to do
