Guardian angel?

WHO IS MY

Everyone has a guardian angel

“In the West, you call this protection having a 'guardian angel', while in India, we call it the family deity or the deity of the individual soul,” says Indian spiritual philosopher, Sri Chinmoy (srichinmoy. org). “Again, the protecting guardian can be one or many deities. Normally, however, one person is connected with only one deity, apart from the divine. The divine is all protection for everyone, far above and far beyond any guardian angel. But each individual soul will usually have a guardian angel. These guardian angels try their best to protect the individual soul. These deities or guardian angels also try to illuminate the consciousness of the human being. They do not have omnipotent power, however. Therefore, in spite of the very fact that the guardian angel tries hard to protect or to save the human being, the angel may fail. The angel does have considerable and abundant power, though, and very often we see the success of an angel or angels.”

Forming a connection

“Everyone has at least two guardian angels – though they may not present themselves both at once,” says Radleigh Valentine, co-author of Angel Tarot Cards and a specialist in giving love-related tarot card readings. “We all have a primary guardian angel who is the most likely to show up in your awareness first. Other guardian angels may have special purposes for your life and therefore might not introduce themselves to you until you need their particular gifts at a certain time. Next time you do your meditation practice, let your angels know that you are ready to meet them. Start off very simply by asking your guardian for signs that they are around you and then pay close attention in the following days. Common signs that they are presenting themselves include spotting feathers, pennies, doves and butterflies. Next, you might ask your primary guardian angel for their name. You may hear or just know a name immediately. If so, that’s their name! But if you do not, then pay close attention to everyday events. Did you notice you were driving down Danielle Street? Then see a sign for Danielle’s Diner and then a few minutes later get introduced to a new person named Danielle? That’s a very common way that your guardian angels might be getting your attention. Good luck!”
