Are Angels Real?
Angels are high frequency fields of light, consciousness, and intelligence
Welcome kind Souls
Are you feeling lost, scared, disappointed, angry or sad? If you’re struggling with what’s going on in the world, maybe it’s time to connect with your angels. I believe that angels are real.
I think of angels as fields of light and consciousness that create manifested forms and who work with us to support, uplift and guide us. These light entities or beings are from Source or God and are at the highest frequency to Source.
Source is One Unity Consciousness and stepped itself down into lower frequencies. These include human beings who are matter forms of energy that vibrate slowly. Living beings are also surrounded and permeated by subtle or invisible energy. Human beings are made up of energy, body, mind, and Soul.
Some people believe that we have Souls or our “Higher Selves” connecting us to Source.
The Soul is said to be an eternal part of the one Great Spirit of consciousness, a bridge between the ego-mind and personality and God.
As Souls we chose to experience manifestation in human form, disconnected from Source, for the experience of this. Angels are not Souls, but they are high frequency fields of light, information, and intelligence that help souls.
Angels, streams of consciousness, God’s will, and power, are the emissaries of Source. They are always around to provide love and support and guidance.
The invisible energy of Homo sapiens or human beings can resonate at the frequency level of the angels, thus connecting us to angelic energy. But for various reasons, many people choose not to shift their energy into the higher vibrations of peace and love.
Traditionally, angels are said to be beings of light and appear as winged people, sometimes with halos. Religions can make children think about angels as being “out there” judgemental winged persons. Angels can be thought to be a handful of ethereal, wispy sprites hanging around, amusing themselves by finding certain people to help.
If you don’t sense angels around you, you might think it’s because you’re not deserving of their help or that you’re not good enough.
But nothing can be further from the truth.
I have experienced angels as beautiful, magnificent, lustrous fields of pure white light, and as sparkles of multi-colored light, as a feeling of profound love surrounding me, and even as singers!
How do Angels communicate with us?
Angels communicate with us according to how best we receive messages, through signs, subtle thoughts, and through our Clair abilities.
When you are highly stressed or upset, frightened or depressed, your energy is low. Your frequency (the rate of vibration of energy waves) is low, but that of the angels is high.
Because you and angelic energy are not matched by frequency, it is hard for angels to send messages to you or to embrace you with love.
Angels can’t change your mental images, thoughts, and feelings. So, if you’re thinking worried thoughts which result in deep, heavy draining emotions, an angel can’t wave a wand and instantly change these to you feeling happy and glad suddenly.
But, the angels are still around.
And if your intention is to be graciously open to receiving help, and to receive help from positive unseen forces, the angels take this to be an invitation to them to guide or assist you or to give you comforting feelings of love.
After a distressful event, you may receive angelic help or meaningful synchronicities or signs. Although you might look back at your life, thinking that nothing big or spectacular happened, it could have been angels orchestrating something that cheered, inspired or otherwise helped you.
One day I was waiting for my sister who was in her car on her way over. She didn’t arrive, but I didn’t feel that anything was wrong. About ten minutes later, I spoke to her on the telephone. My sister explained that her car had broken down on a busy road. Her car lights had flashed and her car began to slow down, and she wasn’t sure what to do.
At that moment, someone stopped behind her to help her. It was a tow-tuck driver, on his way to a job! The angels had orchestrated him to be there at that time, we believe. He leapt out of his truck and helped her push her car over to the side, out of the way.
As I spoke to my sister on the phone, I was happy to hear the man say, “Turn the wheel to the left.” After my sister had got home, I was once again talking to her by telephone. I told her that I had heard what the man said.
There was silence. “You can’t have heard him,” she replied, “because he didn’t say that while we were on the telephone. He said that five minutes earlier.”
It seems that I had astral traveled to another location miles away AND back in “time.” I am not surprised at this because human beings have subtle energy bodies containing their consciousness. In this case, my consciousness was able to transcend space and time via my astral energy body!
Suffice to say that we are confident that there was Angelic or “Higher” help that day, helping my sister.
And my psychic skills helped me too, reassuring me that all was well, by my hearing something that comforted me.
My opinion about “time” may be able to be accessed at the page below. I have been to the future as well as to the past. But that’s another tale for another reflection on “Soul Connexions,” about astral travel and telepathy, coming to you soon!

Regarding direct messages, the angels may send you an indication of the next best step for you or generate support for you via a Clair ability.
The Clair or psychic abilities are clear hearing (clairaudience), clear seeing (clairvoyance), clear feeling (clairsentience), or clear knowing (claircognizance).
The Angels sing
I have a good sense of clairaudience (extrasensory perception via hearing) and once I heard angels singing.
I was listening to a song called “Merkaba Spin” and suddenly the music volume went up by itself super loud. Then I heard the most sublime chant of angelic voices possible.
The voices were singing just one note and to me it was like being in Heaven. After about 30 seconds of this, the singing stopped and a voice spoke to me in a language that I didn’t understand.
No, I wasn’t psychotic or on drugs or imagining it. It was an ordinary day, when I was in my twenties, just sitting around listening to an album.
Although I couldn’t translate the words I intuitively knew that it was about my purpose on Earth and that I would know it subliminally.
Was this angelic guidance? Yes, because it gave me strength and reason to keep on living. At a deeper level, the chant and the voice inspired me to believe in what I was doing. Hearing a choir of angels sing is experienced by few people, and I appreciate that I did. It is an experience that I will always remember.
Invoking angels
Jenny Smedley says in her excellent book, “Angels, please hear me,” that for angels to connect to you, you need to have “smooth” energy. This means stable, balanced, and gentle emotions and positive thoughts.
Angels can’t work with negative energy.
However, if you believe in angelic power and sincerely invoke it, even if for a split second during or after or in between stressful outer circumstances, you will receive angelic help in some form and at some time.
The help may not happen the way you expect or want it to do so.
For example, instead of your partner, or a family member or a work colleague being nice to you, whereas before they weren’t; help may come in the guise of shoring up your self-worth so that you’re aren’t so impacted by people who aren’t so kind to you or understanding of you.
For example, somebody else may praise you for something, which makes you feel worthwhile. Or you could come across an opportunity to be creative and the satisfaction from that removes the “lower” or dense energy felt when you were upset.
Seeming coincidences or happenings could be orchestrated by angels. If you look at your life from a higher perspective, as a “time-line” or a series of energetic experiences, you should be able to identify many moments of saving grace.
These are experiences where “fortune favors the brave,” to use a best idiom. Whether it be a lucky web of completely random occurrences, like the tow-truck driver happening to be there when my sister broke down, or angelic intervention; our serendipity is to be appreciated.
And if we reciprocate or actively show our gratitude by paying good things forward, including maintaining a calm or centred and positive attitude, more “good” things come our way.
How is it possible that angels can help?
These angelic powers or forces can take on a shape or form that people like and can best connect with. Hence, someone may “see” an angel as an outline of a white form similar to a person, with or without wings. Others may perceive of angels as orbs of white light or as sparkles of diamond light or multi-colored light.
In her book, “The Angelic Origins of the Soul,'“ Tricia McCannon says that angels are luminous, brilliant high vibrating fields of light. Furthermore, she states that angels serve or create in one of the four elemental kingdoms of earth, air, fire, and water. In addition to creating and supporting the purpose of these, some angelic energies descend into souls.
We are tuning into or tapping into our angelic origins when we invoke or call upon help from angels.
One day I was able to zoom out of my body and to see the entire globe as people and living beings in stories that are inextricably connected. For example, the material resources that I use are possible due to taking matter from the Earth and to the myriad of people and processes world-wide that contribute.
The impact was that I realized just how inter-dependent we are. With this zoomed out view, it’s easier to perceive that what any one of us does, what energy someone puts out, can have a ripple effect beyond what is obvious.
And when you understand that everything is made up of energy, including our physical bodies and the energy fields surrounding them and permeating them —it’s not such a stretch of the imagination to view the creative energy/frequency of angelic forces infusing and manipulating matter forms.
They do this to make us feel loved and to orchestrate supportive and uplifting experiences for our highest good.
Think about angels as intelligence that knows how the human and physical world operates. It is the energy of angelic forces that works through quantum fields to create happenings that support us “out of the blue.”
Where are the Angels when you need them?
Many well meaning people will say angels will only help you if you ask them to help you, unless you are in danger and it’s not your time to go.
They cite human beings as having free will as the reason for angels not helping you of their own accord. Apparently angels can’t intervene with your free will or help unless you literally and specifically ask them to, according to many people.
But this doesn’t ring true with me. What about the poor child who doesn’t care about, think about or know about angels? If she or he doesn’t verbalize, i.e. say out loud, “Angels please help me,” is she/he doomed to not receive angelic assistance?
Of course not. I am Australia’s oldest intercountry adopted person. I was born in Malaya in 1963, before Malaya became the Federated States of Malaysia.
At fifteen months of age I was taken to Australia into an English-Australian family. Formally adopted at age three, my life has been full of challenges and trauma.
I was terribly confused and distraught. My parents and school taught me that I had to be good in order to go to Heaven, and angels were as far away from my mind as believing that the Moon is made from green cheese.
Yet, one evening when I was at the height of my turmoil at only eleven years of age, I felt myself out of body. I was standing beside my bed and a being of light was in front of me. It took on the vague shape of a human being and held my hands. At that moment, an unutterable sense of peace washed over me.
If that energy, which I believe was an angel, had not assured me that I was okay, I wouldn’t be around today. The stress would have been too great.
I am open to receiving positive, supportive “other wordly” help always and in all ways. Underneath the incredible mental and emotional stress that I was feeling when I was that child was FAITH or UNDERSTANDING that somebody or something would help me. You could say that I put out a silent call or cry for help with the confidence that I would receive help.
So, because I usually have the “smooth” energy that Jenny Smedley talks about, and a belief that I could or would receive “other worldy” help, I invoked angelic assistance. And I received help when I direly needed it.
I think that asking for help includes believing and thinking genuinely that “angelic” help is on hand and being open to receiving it.
This is something which many people who talk or write about angels miss out telling you.
Yet, if you want help with something very specifically, of course you can speak to the angels (silently or aloud with intent and sincerity) and ask for specific help.
Jenny Smedley, in her book, “Angels, please hear me,” says that sometimes bad events are something we have to endure and learn from.
However, by having “smooth” energy or being calm and positive as much as possible, even through trying times, angels will do everything possible to help you get through trauma or difficult situations.
If your final time has come, a genuine connection with angels will help your passing and fast-track your soul crossing into spirit.
And connection is the crux of the matter.
You may have an unemotional or half-hearted thought that maybe there are angels around or you hope that there are angelic beings here and there who can step in and help you.
But if this is a fleeting thought or wish or purely a mental construct, more a wish than a belief, you need to build or strengthen your connection to the angels day by day. Sadly, many people call upon angels to help them overcome an illness of themself or a loved one, but the health condition is not overcome.
If you are calm and gracious (i.e. appreciative of and accepting of your opportunities) and a positive person usually, then your energy is “smooth.”
If you cultivate an open mind toward asking for or inviting in angelic help, you can receive support and guidance from angels. Jenny says that it is a sad fact that some “bad” events happen, which actually are right for the souls undergoing them, for reasons we humanly cannot understand or readily appreciate.
Of course this is not to say that it is quite alright for “bad” things to happen.
Some say that at the Soul level, every human being goes through 3-D or physical outer “events” or happenings, in accordance with certain milestones, to experience overcoming things and / or to give out certain energies as values that we learn or can pass on.
How do Angels Help?
Every person can ask their Soul / “Higher Self” and the Angels to help them clarify what their life purpose is, in terms of modelling and living certain positive values through themes (i.e. earthly vocations or activities).
We can all ask our Soul and / or the Angels every day, “What is your guidance for me today? And you can ask the angels for protection and safety and to shield you from negative energy, on a daily basis.
The hardest part can be hearing or receiving the messages, without expectation.
Angels don’t live by linear time, so their help may not come until some time later. Their help may be subtle nudges or a clear and strong knowing or impulse to do something that is helpful for you.
The key is that whenever you feel, see, hear, or know something clearly and strongly, that supports and uplifts you; whether it is your rational mind, your Soul or an Angelic message, follow it and trust it.
Whether you are led to coincidences or activities via your Soul or an Angel helper (rather than by your rational mind) doesn’t really matter. It could be either source and over time you may learn to discern which one it is.
Of course, you are free to believe that neither is likely or possible.
Physicalists believe that matter and the body is all that there is. In the absence of clear scientific evidence, some claim there to be no such thing as the soul or angels. But would they agree that there is some “force” or a network of energy and consciousness that everything interacts with and that impacts us and vice versa?
Due to so very many things in our complex human 3-D world of materialism and disconnection, I lived decades of not being in tune with messages from my Soul and Angels to look after myself. Even when a friend told me that her Spirit Guide was telling her to give me a message that it was critical to love myself, I ignored the message.
It is my tendency to want to always love or support others, and to have high expectations of myself, even to want perfection.
And this along with not feeling good enough because I was abused, neglected, ridiculed and hurt over decades, propped up my not caring about myself.
Although the angels guided me toward the numerous healing modalities, online courses, groups, research, meditations and people in my 60 years of life that have kept me going; I ignored the signs whenever my health was compromised.
The last time I was in hospital in 2019, as I lay there in bed with three drips in my arms, and with little sleep and horrendous continuous loud assorted noises all around me, I said to myself, “No more.”
Because I was calm and accepting of my four-day hospital stay (although of course I didn’t like it, accepting or acknowledging is not the same as liking something), the Angels helped me go out on a happy note.
I remember that I wanted to go home but had to wait for a medical certificate from a doctor. I patiently waited, noting that it was taking a lot longer than what the nurse thought it would. While I waited, a lovely nurse came in and told me that I might as well have some lunch while I was waiting.
And so I ate one of the best lunches that I’ve ever had in my life. It was delicious and something that I will always remember. I think that the angels orchestrated my having lunch that day so that I left the hospital with gratitude and a happy memory.
We live and learn. Angels help us with our mindsets and with our approaches to life, bolstering our attitudes and ways of thinking which help energize us to reach our goals, to have our needs met and to live the best we can.
Angels can show you their love and support through signs like white feathers, repeated numbers appearing suddenly or often, and by other physical signs that uplift you. Positive vibes from unusual happenings or sightings are likely to be from angels if you are open to their support or ask them for help.
Your Guardian Angel and Archangels
Rachel Scoltock in her book, “My Life with Angels: How to access the Healing and Wisdom of the Angels,” says that every person has two guardian angels. They know and see you at the Soul level and from a physical and emotional perspective. They guide you and send you love.
I think that Guardian Angels are individual energetic streams or fields of love, light, consciousness, intelligence, and power that we are connected to through our angelic origins.
We tune into or sense these beings when we invoke them or ask them for specific help. In return these light entities tune into us.
We can speak to our “guardian angels,” requesting support or help.
For example, in a peaceful space you could ask:
“Angels [ or Guardian Angel ] please give me support and love.”
“Angels [ or Guardian Angels ] please help me / show me how to [ your situation ]”
Specific examples are:
“Angels, please help me to be confident with this job interview.”
“Guardian Angels, please help me with my work situation today.”
Some people say that Guardian Angels can manifest into physical form. There are numerous stories around publicly about angelic interventions and even about angels seeming to physically incarnate in order to help people.
There’s more to things than the physical visible world. There are thousands of angels. Some angels are said to be Archangels or Master Path Angels. The Archangels are said to work individually and together to guide and protect the world and its inhabitants as a whole.
Archangels usually go by traditional names and embody particular qualities and properties. For example, Archangel Michael is personified as a winged person with an electric blue cloak and a sword. The sword is a metaphor for this angel’s ability to cut invisible energetic cords that bind people together unhealthily.
There is no set number of Archangels or Master Angels because human beings have made them up in terms of the highest frequency angelic light that “oversee” Guardian Angels and the world.
Their names are just for convenience and to make it easy to speak to these angels. But you could, for example, use the phrase, “Angel of Protection” for Archangel Michael and still invoke this angelic stream.
You may be able to sense or intuit a personal name for your own Guardian Angel, by connecting to and asking for a name. But if nothing comes to mind strongly or you aren’t sure, your angel won’t mind you using the expression, “Guardian Angel” to make a connection!
Practice making your energy “smooth" through faith in Source, self-forgiveness, moment to moment self-awareness of how and why you interact with others (judgmentally / critically or neutrally) and calmness and receptivity. Learn how to relax in the moment, through self-awareness and self-management. There’s often no need to be up-tight or on high alert, with imaginary dangers around.
Be confident in yourself as a capable, competent and worthwhile person. Relax.
With calm and positive energy, angels can reach you readily with visual signs or a feeling of love and support. Or they can help with synchronicities or with guidance via strong clear thoughts, images, feelings, or knowing, or even with verbal words that you hear.
If you ask for guidance, the angels may show you the next step, as long as you’re not blocked from receiving or noticing the angel’s help. And the next step could be a reinforcement of what you have already decided or a prompt to look at different options, or to adopt a different approach or attitude / mind set.
For example, you may have a sudden thought like “look for the silver lining in anything.” If it’s not a thought that you would typically think, it will be from an angel.
Jenny Smedley can channel your Guardian Angel portrait for you and ask your angel for a name and a message! Jenny’s book, “Angels please hear me” gives an excellent guide on how to manage your energy for angel communication.
Jenny intuited and painted the angel that you see at the top of this article. It is a personification of one of my Guardian Angels, whose name is Merope. She represents resurrection or the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
Merope is helping me with my current path, which is about renewal, regeneration, and rebirth after decades of challenges.
