Angels and Spirit guides
A few weeks ago, I was invited to a group session with a friend who channels “angels and spirit guides”, (which is a common thing around the world -- some cultures call on guides, or ancestors, or totem or power animals, essences, qualities, moods, or elements). Now whether you believe in this as a literal phenomenon, or you see it as archetypal, or through a psycho-emotional lens, or you are a complete skeptic, is up to you.
Regardless, the session offered one profound truth that has been echoing in my daily life: i noticed that the “angels and guides” only see the best in each person.
Every single person who approached the channel for a message was reminded of their highest and best self. The guides reflected back to each individual their inherent purity of heart and true essence, creating a space where people felt seen, loved, and uplifted. This experience sparked my introspection about my own interactions where I've been less than generous or uplifting.
This “How Angels Talk” insight turned into a simple question: how would an angel talk? And maybe, how would an angel BE?
They would come from a place of kindness, truth, care and sensitivity. Their body language would be consistent with the words: present, open and relaxed, adding to the feeling of love and respect. The voice would be calm and clear.
* Highlight their positive traits or actions, focusing on the individual's strengths, potential for growth, their intrinsic goodness, and the positive aspects of their nature.
* Let them know that they are appreciated and valued.
* Try to see the broader picture of the person’s life, dropping bias and judgments.
* Be reassuring, comforting and encouraging.
* Provide wisdom from your direct experience, without prescribing solutions.
No complaint, or criticism, only upliftment, and see what happens.
I believe in you. Your strength and resilience inspire me. Your (playfulness, creativity, wisdom, discernment??) shine from you. Your courage and authenticity is a beacon. You make the world a better place with your unique light. Even when you forget your true essence, who you really are, I will be here to remind you of your innate goodness.
