Not so long ago, I did not believe in angels. In fact, I’m still slightly unsure as to their exact nature and purpose. Nonetheless, I have definitely been convinced that they exist.
I used to think that the angels were nothing more than spirituality’s answer for Gods. I was very sceptical of everything associated with them and decided to myself that they did not exist. In my eyes, there was only one higher power… the divine energy that flows through everything and everyone. Through meditation and the silencing of the mind, I connected frequently with the divine source, which drastically improved the quality of my life.
When people told me about the angels, I did not take much notice, because I did not want to worship or pray to higher entities. I thought that angels were just human versions of the divine source, much like the Gods of other religions. I simply did not picture God to be a human-like entity… I envisioned it to be more like Christianity’s Holy Spirit, or “the force” from Star Wars. An energy that flows through everything, connecting us all in every way.
But when I began to practice Reiki, everything changed. Firstly, my faith in energy healing was strengthened. And secondly, I sensed that other beings were joining in with the sessions…
Whether I was giving or receiving the energy, I felt something other than my connection to the divine source: ethereal hands that tickled my cheeks and nose, or handcuffed my wrists in the air, or a strong presence that sent a chill up my spine. I have experienced such things on many occasions now, and I quickly came to the conclusion that angels were responsible. When I called for their help during healing, they immediately made their presence known, strengthening my flow of energy and guiding my hands to where they needed to go.
Since then, I have realised that angels are not there to be worshipped like deities. They are here to help us, whenever we call upon them for help. There are many stories surrounding the nature of angels and other higher beings, but I remain quite dubious about them. For me, the background of the angels does not matter, only that they are here to help.
