Calling all angels

Most kids, I think, at some age believe in angels and fairies in some form or the other. Be it a tooth fairy or a guardian angel, most parents like to tell such tales to their kids to give them a feeling of assurance and safety in trying times. But I wouldn’t say this belief ends with childhood. Though, having learnt lessons in practicality and logic, most adults would always show skepticism when dealing with subjects like these but I guess a part of us always believes in such miracles or at least wants to believe in them.

As a believer myself (I haven’t always been one, but at some point in my life certain situations made a believer out of me) I’ve had a keen curiosity about the subject and have read a number of books and spoken to several people regarding the topic. A very well written book on this topic is “The Valkyries” by Paulo Coelho and in this book he talks about his own experiences when he heads out in search of his guardian angel. He talks about how easy it is in fact to get in touch with one’s own guardian angel, just by believing that they exist one can summon them. He also mentions in his book that one can talk to angels, ask for their guidance and their help and in certain situations it is even possible to see them.

I’ve heard of several workshops being held across the world in the last few years in which the speaker coaches the attendees on how to get in touch with one’s own guardian angel. I couldn’t really say how many of these workshops are genuine, but an increasing number of people are now showing interest in this subject. It isn’t really surprising then when we come across countless number of people sharing their experiences on how they were guided and protected by what they claim to be an angel. Most people report that they feel overall warmth and a feeling of being safe and cozy when they believe an angel is round. Some people say they get a tender feeling of someone lovingly touching their arm or cheek, some others say that they just hear doves flying.

In certain cases people have reported of hearing a voice inside them telling them what to do, or telling them what path to go on through a dream. All of us at some time have had a dream that we thought was indicating towards something vital but most of us are too busy and skeptical to pause and consider the possibility or even to think about what it might mean. Most people I speak to believe in energy or a force that’s above our understanding, some like to believe in it as God, some like to name it as angels and some others might like to believe in it in another form that they might be comfortable with.

There can never be a clear answer to mysteries like these, beliefs could be in any form and whatever force may be out there people like to adapt to it in their own way. But it’s always good to have some faith, whether it is to feel safe or to seek guidance, faith always helps.
