Who are the Angels? Angels are the highest aspect of us that connects to God and divine wisdom. God created the angels to support humans in our soul’s journey. They are God’s messengers and act as a bridge between God’s energy and our intuition. As human’s we have free will, so we need to ask the angels for support and guidance.
The angels use what I call our Intuitive Vocabulary to send us messages. Intuitive Vocabulary is the ability to know something based on your personal way of interpreting things. There will be associations that make sense to you in a way that is slightly different from everyone else. The more we pay attention to this guidance, the clearer the messages become.
Here are four ways that the divine sends us messages:
1) Clairvoyance means that we receive the guidance or message through some type of image. This image does not need to be seen with our physical eyes although it may be.
One of my earliest childhood memories is of laying in the grass and looking up at the clouds. I would watch the clouds shift from one magical image to another without understanding that there was a reason for the images.
Clairvoyant messages may be shown to you through an animal consistently being seen. I noticed a toad sitting near a plant on my back deck. I knew he had a message for me, but I did not allow time for it to be received or to look it up. That toad stayed on my deck for over a week until I meditated on his message. The next time I went outside he was gone!
Another way you may receive clairvoyant messages is through your dreams. The images or events in your dreams can provide clues to a message for you. It may be a color that repeats, or a person that represents something to you.
You may also see repetitive numbers. This is the Divine’s way of drawing your attention to the significance and vibration of those numbers. Start to notice if there are any numbers that you see on a regular basis.
Maybe you keep noticing something in your environment. Pay attention to what your eye is drawn to when you walk in a room. Or take a few moments to meditate and when you open your eyes notice what your eyes are drawn to as soon as you open them. It could be a picture or an actual object that catches your eye. What is the first thing that you think of when you look at that object? That will be your message from your Angels.
2) Clairaudience, the second way we receive, is any message we hear. Our angels will get creative in how we can hear the message or guidance.
Have you ever had the lyrics of a song stuck in your head? You wake up hearing the song on the radio or in your mind. Every station you change the radio to has the same song playing. Perhaps the chorus or one line plays repeatedly in your mind. This is an example of how the Angels are sending you clairaudient messages.
The Angels will also send clairaudient messages through ordinary sounds. If you are thinking about something and you hear an ambulance, it could be an indication that you need to hurry, to act. Or if there are constant sound interruptions to what you are doing, it could indicate that you need to take a break or that you are heading down the wrong path.
Animals will also give you confirmations using clairaudience. I was in a meeting and we were trying to decide when we would meet next and as we mentioned a time my dog barked. That indicates agreement with the time.
Another favorite way of receiving clairaudient messages is through people that you encounter in your daily life. For example, you walk into a room and you hear someone mention the yoga class they took last night, you turn on the radio and hear a commercial about yoga, and your best friend calls you to mention that there is a new yoga studio opening.
The Divine will also speak to you directly. The voice will have a different sound or vibration than your thoughts. It will often break in when you are thinking of something else. Pay attention to those seemingly random thoughts as they may be your angels sending you a message.
3) Clairsentience, the third method of communication is feeling energy and messages. Clairsentience is how our bodies react to the energy in and around us. It is associated with empathy.
If I am going to a potluck dinner, I ask what food is best to bring. I feel in my body what I want and know that this is what is best to bring. I find that whatever food I was guided to bring is a conversation starter or the only food that someone can eat.
Being clairsentient, or highly empathic, you can feel everyone else’s energy and it can be confusing. I have learned to take a baseline measurement of my energy and how I feel before I attend large events or visit friends, so I know if what I am feeling is my energy or the energy of someone else.
When all the hairs on your arm stand up to make you aware, you are experiencing clairsentience. Our skin is our largest sensory organ and will provide amazing feedback. Notice what you are thinking or experiencing if you get “chills” or goosebumps. Does your skin seem to glow when you are happy? Your skin can provide wonderful clues to what is in your highest good.
You will feel message in your body in a manner unique to you. For example, when something is good for me or it is in my highest good, my face feels flushed or full on my right cheek. When it is not in my highest good then my left cheek feels flushed and full.
We all will experience this wonderful feeling sense in a manner that is special to us. Once you start to recognize how your body sends you messages, you have a built-in radar system to help you make informed choices!
4) Claircognizance or the knowing sense is the fourth way our angels communicate. It is that light bulb that goes off and gives us an immediate answer about something. It is as if someone yelled the answer in your ear or held up a sign except you will feel and know it in your body.
Sometimes the knowingness hits so fast that we can miss it or start to doubt it. Pay attention to those first and powerful intuitive hits as it is the Divine sending you information. Take a deep breath and pause when you get an idea so that your brain can register how your body is reacting and acknowledge the information.
Claircognizance is the sense that you just know deep in your core that something is true. You cannot explain it or explain it away. It is just is.
There is a reason that first impressions are talked about so much. We do have this immediate knowingness about people and situations.
Claircognizant information often will come to us when we are doing something else such as driving or walking. It may feel like a big awareness that comes to you seemingly out of nowhere. It may feel like you just plugged into the universe for a download.
Since I was a small child, I just knew things. I knew if someone was telling the truth, if there was more to the story, if something was good for me or not. I didn’t always trust or follow this guidance, but I knew it. As I started to trust my intuition and divine connection more, I could depend on this Claircognizance sense to make better decisions.
You also, “know what you know”. The more you honor your inner knowingness, practice your faith muscle and trust what you know without needing a reason, the faster and clearer your Claircognizance messages will be.
Integrating the messages to act.
What good does it do to receive the guidance if you don’t act on it? Being present, or Clairbeing, is the integration of all our intuitive senses. It is truly living and being in a receiving mode. Clairbeing is BE-ing present to receive the Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Clairsentient and Claircognizant messages. It is staying in alignment with and being open to the energy flow around us. Clairbeing is faith in our Angels and ourselves to take inspired action on the divine messages we receive.
