| "Manifesting with the
Angels" by Doreen Virtue We all manifest constantly. Everything in your life is a product of your manifestations efforts, which are your thoughts and feelings, and your intentions. Is there anything in your life that you'd like to heal or change? If so, then let's purposely and consciously manifest, with the assistance of the magnificent angelic kingdom. The angels seek to help us to fulfill our missions, and they will do everything possible to support you on the path. By doing so, they help us to help others. They help us to fulfill God's will. Because of the Law of free will, we must ASK angels to help us. They are only allowed to intervene into our lives when we ask -- with the exception of life-endangering situations before our time. You can ask the angels to help you simply by thinking the thought, "Please help me," or by writing your request on paper, or by visualizing them helping you, or by saying it aloud. It's not "unspiritual" in any way to ask for and then to receive help. Sometimes, spiritually minded people are only accustomed to giving and helping others, and they are reluctant to ask for and to receive help for themselves. Sometimes, we believe that we don't "deserve to receive." Yet, manifesting isn't about "getting" at all! It's about "giving." Let me explain: Let's suppose that you know you are a healer, or you suspect that healing is your life purpose. You will require support in several ways to fulfill your function: perhaps you'll need education or training; some place to conduct your healing sessions; a telephone; perhaps support staff and certainly, you'll need clients. Is it wrong, or are you undeserving in any way of receiving this help, which supports you as you help others? Looking at it this way, you see that manifesting with the angels simply means that you adopt a lifestyle where you are more able to GIVE to the world. And you deserve to give! When we work with the angels to manifest our life's purpose, we act as a team player. Far from shirking our personal responsibilities, we become a teammate with the Divine wisdom, creativity, love and intelligence that is the True essence of everything. Just as a basketball player depends upon his teammates to help him pass the ball toward the basket, so do we interact with our angels to bring our purpose to fruition. When you ask your angels for help or for answers, you aren't bothering them. Please don't project human ego traits, lack or limitations upon angels. They are egoless, all-loving beings (just like we are, in truth). There is no lack of angels, and no lack of time or energy within the angels. The angels want to help us with every area of our lives, because they want to bring peace to our planet -- one person at a time. If you think that you will feel more peaceful if you receive financial assistance, enter into a great love relationship, or secure a better job, then the angels are helping you with a sacred mission indeed. There is no request that is too trivial or too monumental for the angels. You aren't pulling them off of a more important task when you ask for their assistance. After all, the number of angels available to help far exceeds the number of people making such requests. There are billions of angels who are "unemployed" and bored who would love to help you create a more meaningful and fruitful life. Know that you deserve love, attention and miraculous blessings from God and the angels. They love you unconditionally, no matter what mistakes you may have made in your life. You are just as special as anyone else who has ever lived. If it helps, remember that God made us all equally wonderful. To put yourself down is actually to put down God. The ego tries to convince us that we don't warrant help or attention from Heaven, that we're somehow bad or unworthy. That is the ego's attempt to prevent us from remembering our true spiritual identity and power. Please don't listen to that voice, because it could delay you from working on your mission. And we need the fruits of your mission on this planet. Allow yourself to be open to the messages from your angels. They won't tell you anything that you can't handle. The angels won't try to control your life, either. Their messages always help us to feel safer and happier, and make every aspect of our lives more meaningful. You can call additional angels to your side (or to the side of your loved ones) simply by holding the thought that you'd like to be in contact with more angels. You can voice this response directly to God or to the angels. The result is the same, since the angels are extensions of God. They're literally God's thought-forms of love. Ask for as many angels as you'd like for yourself or another. The angelic realm is filled with angels specializing in every human condition. You can ask for angels to help you find a new home, a soulmate, or to heal your body. There are angels who can help you with parenting, with school, and to be more motivated to exercise. The angels want to help you and give you messages, if only you'll let them. And the more that you allow Heaven to help you, the more resources you'll have to give back to the world. While suffering does create spiritual growth, contentment does so even more. You learn through peace, and more importantly, you can better teach your children and others when you're in a state of joyful relaxation. You don't need to suffer for growth! God certainly doesn't want you to endure pain, any more than you want your own children to do so. During your manifestation efforts, stay aware of these important four points: -- Don't try too hard to make things happen -- Straining, pushing, or trying to manifest, stems from the fear that you won't receive. The underlying emotion of fear is a form of prayer that asks for the experience of lack. Your thoughts bring your experiences, just like a waiter obediently bringing your order to you. The waiter doesn't argue with you when you order something from the menu that's unhealthy -- he merely nods and brings it to you. The universe is the same way: When you have a strong emotion that differs from what you are visualizing, your emotions are the more powerful request that the "waiter" receives. So, ask your angels to help you align your heart and your head during your visualizations. -- Don't ask repeatedly from a place of fear or worry -- Returning to our restaurant metaphor, after you ask your waiter to bring you a vegetable sandwich, do you then keep telling the waiter over and over to bring you a vegetable sandwich? Do you follow him into the kitchen, making sure that he has placed your order and that he intends to bring it to you? Of course not. Yet, when we repeatedly visualize the same thing over and over with fear, it is a statement to the universe that we don't expect to receive it. Once you get a feeling of peace in your belly and a certainty of the inevitability of your manifestation, stop asking for it. Shift your energy, instead, to expecting it to happen. Then, when you go through the manifestation process on the other side, allow yourself to enjoy seeing your future in a way that is expectant, grateful, and secure -- not from the energy of "hoping" or "fearfulness." With the attitude of gratitude and faith, multiple visualizations of the same intentions are not only fine -- they are a wonderfully powerful way to experience rapid manifestations. So don't fret repeatedly -- instead, EXPECT REPEATEDLY. Remember, you aren't DOING anything when you manifest with the angels. Instead, you are choosing to live in the parallel world where everything is ALREADY manifested perfectly right now. So, you aren't creating from scratch, you're just changing channels to a program that's already in progress. -- Be sure to release your request completely -- When you mail a letter at the post office, you have to let the envelope out of your hands before it can be delivered. Yet, so often, we hang onto our desires and don't surrender them fully to the universe. During the meditation on the other side, the angels will help you to release your intention so that they can become manifest. -- Allow yourself to be aware of guidance that follows manifestation processes AND to follow the guidance that comes to you -- If you are feeling stuck, ask yourself, "What guidance have I received that I'm not following?" Usually, the guidance will ask you to make some life changes, a baby step at a time. The guidance can come in many forms: a thought or idea; a physical or emotional feeling; something you hear; or a vision or dream. Guidance usually comes in patterns; for instance, you hear the same song repeatedly and it has a "message" in its lyrics that speaks to you; or you see the same number sequences or book title many times. In the hours, days, weeks and months that follow, you'll want to be acutely aware of patterns of events that happen around you. If you hear or see the same thing several times in a row, ask your angels, "What does this mean?" Then, pay attention to the impressions you receive. Every one of us is able to receive accurate and clear guidance from God and the angels. You can also receive help in accessing the meaning of the guidance; as well as the courage and faith to follow it. Everything you need to fulfill your purpose is inherently in your reality right now. Recent shifts in the earth's electromagnetic energy field have created an energy in the world that is lighter and finer -- less dense than before -- which means your thoughts don't have to travel through dense material in the atmosphere as they manifest into form. Therefore, your thoughts turn into tangible experiences at an increasingly rapid rate. Where in years past, it took up to six months for your thoughts to turn into reality, today your thoughts can manifest in minutes, hours, or days. Your angels are your teammates who seek to encourage, guide and support you in every way, so that you can fulfill your mission, which is God's will. It is their deepest joy to help you! All you need to do is ask, and then allow yourself to graciously receive. The angels say that our intentions create our experiences. Ask them to help you align your intentions with Love, and you'll experience the Love that truly surrounds you, enfolds you, and IS you, right now.
