White feathers

How often have you stumbled on a white feather in your path? What are your assumptions about its origins? Such feathers may represent many things including, the presence of angels, a heavenly dove, or even a process of your own return to consciousness. Consider how often you seem to stumble upon white feathers and the significance you create inside your own mind.  Where do you find them?

Shamanism is the most ancient approach to healing.  It draws from feathers and spirituality.  They empower us to get rid of problems and to reframe health, wealth and happiness. Feathers are one tool that influences our connection to inner energy. White feathers in particular enable ideas to appear in our minds as revelations.  What might a beings of light be drawing your attention to now?

More than a glimpse in a crowd

Some people believe you can send out energy into the universe and something comparable will come back to you.  Perhaps you don't think this is so strange?  You may hope for a special person to enter your life or, for a more compassionate boss to take over from where your previous boss had been. Will your wishes come true? And if so, why might conditions you desire seem to appear out of thin air?

Nothing comes from nothing. You have some impact on everything that happens and even on everything that doesn't happen.  You create the life you lead as the result of your choices.  Even invisible helpers help bring you what you ask for, whether or not you realize it.  How might they hear your call? Which sorts of situations seem to happen as you think of them? Actions and events can be extensions of thoughts and things beyond you.

For example, today, I experienced a multicultural festival.  Over 68 countries were represented by musicians, cuisine, and creative arts arranged in and around tents and stages in a park.  As I explored, I lingered to listen to a gifted Welsh harp player.  I bought her CD and continued to discover other parts of the grounds.  All-the-while, the mingling crowd was growing from ~50,000-150,000 people. 

After pasing through different tents, I figure ~30 minutes passed before I was inside the Polish cultural tent. To myself, I had been thinking how great it would've been if I had asked that Welsh musician to sign my CD.  Lo and behold, she appeared and willingly signed it.   I sensed her presence meant more to me than a glimpse in a crowd, so I asked her a few questions.

Connections evolved as I inquired about her last name.  She told me it was native to where my father had grown up.  She knew the coastal town I'd visit within days and it appeared her relations had attended university with the friend who stood beside me.  This harp player also knew a world famous harp maker known personally by the friend who was standing with me.  Some people are content to say "small world."  I tend to believe in far more than that.   What you learn from apparent strangers may not reveal strangers at all. 

Not what you thought

"A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends." - Thomas Aquinas

Many a time, you may set out with particular plans and assume you're meant for a particular path.  Yet, how often do events unfold such that circumstances were not what you initially thought?

Its possible that your guardian angel is gradually revealing things you need to know.  This angel leaves you clues to piece together to remind you what you already know, but forgot.  Its possible that you're not prepared or even ready to receive all the details of your purpose all at once.

At this moment, you may sense what you feel destined to do, but you may not stop to think who or what has influenced the evolution of your perception.  External influences may cause you to diverge from your real path.  Never fear.  All experience is helpful.  This is an opportunity for you to learn more about life and yourself. 

Timing is everything.  As you reach certain levels of self-understanding and acceptance, you will see doors open for you that you never imagined. How do you evolve to recognize them? What would you like to see? Which doors would you close?

Your point of view and the way you sense the world around you changes with your sense of self.  An angel can be a friendly reminder.  Will you reach out to realize life is not what it seems?

Ask and answers will come

Have you ever prepared for sleep with a situation on your mind and you desire a resolution? How often have you lay down for bed with unanswered questions spinning out of control? You may not have realized that sleep offers a way for you to get in touch with deeper parts of yourself and also your guardian angel.   You may be amazed how your angels respond as you invite them in.  You have the freedom of choice to listen or not.  Open-minded people will listen to varied possibilities.

You may have heard the idea that all the answers you seek actually lie within yourself.  People have the tendency to talk with other people when awake, to reach out for assistance.  This may  be useful if it enables you to listen closer to yourself and not simply do what someone else would for the sake of it.  Whether or not you realize it now, connecting with angels is a way to connect with your innermost self.  You may not realize you have answers already or where within you can find them.

Some people train themselves to ask a question before they go to sleep so that it percolates in their mind and the answer comes to them during the night.  How does this happen? You can condition yourself to self-reflect yet, another force may be leading you to where you store answers.  Your angels know exactly where you are in your personal development and they can guide you to greater clarity in any area of your life.  When and how you choose to connect will be completely up to you.

Police officer or something else?

Many people believe it's a blessing to encounter an angel. At times, such beings are said to appear to humans in disguise. At some point, you may have sensed an unusual presence and yet, been unable to place it. What about when strangers have reacted in notable ways? Could this have been an angel? Do you ever ask why a certain person appears at a certain time?

Very recently, I felt drawn to approach a person I sensed was a female police officer. She wore a uniform and stood smoking outside a building near a concrete building. The strange thing was I began talking to her as if I knew her, though I had never seen her before. We knew we hadn't much time. She was cordial and I struck up a conversation. Of course, it may not seem unusual. You may have chatted with a stranger while waiting for a bus or train.

My discussion with this police officer stood out. We didn't talk about the weather. I sensed her presence with my back to her as I read a book seated on a concrete seat. I turned, made eye contact and felt drawn to her from a distance. I approached her and gazed into her eyes which had dark circles under them. She immediately began talking to me in depth about life and death, from her perspective, almost as if she knew me. She talked about weapons observed on police and the general attitude toward using them.

Then, she did a curious thing. She revealed some of her deepest fear to me. She spoke about the abrupt death of her father in a car crash a week previous and feared she would be able to deal with the scene of a car crash. She seemed relieved after telling me these things. She actually thanked me, stamped her cigarette butt and ran off around the corner. I smiled back and walked in the opposite direction toward my previous seat. Yet, not long after, I peered around the corner of the building. Curiously, I saw no person walking down the road at all.
