As human beings we have the real need to find a source of wisdom and compassion that can help us better frame our worry, anger, fear and jealousy into more useful expressions of our feelings. For me the guidance I need often comes from the angels by way of one of my most earthly loves – flowers.
The angels, guides, and spiritual teachers both visible and invisible have been the source of guidance, inspiration and learning through every major religion and every sincere spiritual practice. Guidance wasn’t a new concept when I discovered the powerful and uplifting messages coming through flowers from the angels. I’d had other meaningful and life-shifting experiences with guidance from the invisible world of Sprit. But this energy from the angels was different. It was creative at the same time it was direct to the point of healing our lives as we struggle with how to live in a loving and compassionate way with each other and with our Mother Earth.
The understanding that flowers are the messengers of the angels came to me one morning as I stooped over my bed of vibrant pink, red and white peonies deciding which to cut for the house.
As I studied each intricate flower with its multiple layers of ruffles, I found myself feeling uplifted and inspired in a new way. Suddenly I knew the guidance coming through these flowers was from a form of energy closely aligned with God’s message of love for all of humanity—I recognized the energy as coming from the angels.
Angel guidance is offered in a clever way because it asked us as human beings to study the flowers closely enough and with open hearts so we can understand that through the colors, shapes, design and growth patterns we find symbolically the guidance for our own lives—what is out of alignment—and how to bring it back into alignment with our goals and dreams.
The guidance to me that morning from the peonies, for example, was to concentrate on the many overlapping layers of joy and happiness that were available to me—to pay more attention to the positive then the negative events in my life.
Angelic Messenger Cards were born that day and I went on to study the flowers around me intently, to listen, to learn what the angels were revealing through this incredible source of beauty. Over the years thousands have gotten the guidance that they need to live their lives in more awareness. Jennifer is a perfect example of the power of the guidance God gives us through the flowers.
Jennifer was furious with her partner. They had disagreed over a seemingly trivial issue and it had escalated into a major break-down in their communication. As she drew an
Angelic Messenger Card the following morning, she drew the card
forgiveness. It suggested that the issue she was facing was
accepting responsibility for your life; releasing blame and the judgment of others.
She related later to me that as she read the words of the message she found her heart beginning to open a little. She felt a little softer and more available for communication and reconciliation. As she closed the morning reading on forgiveness, she wrote down the phrase from the book that seemed the most significant, a phrase that she could continue to repeat throughout the day to relieve the suffering of her heart. The phrase was
I forgive you, and I forgive me for being caught in the process of change and for our being unable to see each other clearly.
Each of us has the opportunity to receive guidance like Jennifer and to change our lives day to day to be more open and loving. You too can make contact with the angels who guide us through flowers. Here are some things I know to be true:
- Begin by accepting that you are already in contact with your angel. The times you’ve been helped and steadied, the insights, wisdom, and unexpected answers that you’ve received, all come through the energy current of Divine Love.
- Angels carry most directly the primary God-ordered current that is Love. Even with those life experiences where you’ve been unable to move out of harm’s way, your angels have often helped mitigate the extent of the trouble or damage, or have encouraged the healing forces to come to you more directly and immediately.
- To experience your angel, become more like an angel and feel, think, and act increasingly as a conduit for Divine Love.
As you work with the guidance in the
Angelic Messenger Cards you will find that you become more attuned to your intuition and more readily open to the useful guidance available to help in your life.
Readers have shared so many stories with me of how they seem to draw the exact card each morning that speaks to their life situation. This will happen for you too. Why? Because when you draw a card you are aligned with your heart’s desire to understand what is best for your life and to draw the best guidance to you through the beauty and wisdom of the flowers.
