7 Ways to Ask the Angels for Any Purpose, by Richard Webster

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

You're surrounded by angels who are willing to provide guidance or help whenever you need it. It's sad that so many people don't communicate with their invisible helpers and fail to experience the love, support, and companionship that they're ready to provide.

Your most important angel is your guardian angel, who provides guidance, comfort, and protection throughout your life. Even if you've never asked your guardian angel for help, it will have intervened at different times to keep you safe and protected. Of course, as you have free will, you can make decisions on your own, and your guardian angel won't intervene, unless you're putting yourself in danger, or are planning to do something that isn't in your highest good. No matter what mistakes you make (and we all make plenty of them), your guardian angel will remain loving, supportive, and nonjudgmental.

Your guardian angel will provide help whenever you need it, and may consult with other angels for assistance in your request. You can also speak directly to any of the angels whenever you need specific help. For instance, many people know that Raphael is the archangel of healing. You can call on Raphael for any purpose whatsoever, but as his main interest is healing; he's the perfect angel to call on when you need spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical healing. Michael is God's warrior angel and is the ideal angel to call on if you need help desperately. There are angels for almost any purpose you could think of, from overcoming addictions to eliminating worry. In An Angel for Anything, I included a list of angels who can help with 286 different needs.

There are many ways to invoke, or call upon, an angel. If you haven't communicated with your guardian angel yet, you'll benefit from experimenting with the seven techniques explained here to contact your guardian angel. Once you've done this once, you'll have no difficulty in contacting your angel whenever you wish. If you're already in regular communication, you can ask your guardian angel to contact a specific angel for you. Alternatively, you can use these methods to contact any angel you need.

1. Relaxation. All you need is a comfortable chair, at least twenty minutes of uninterrupted time, and a desire to communicate with a particular angel. You don't have to know this angel's name. Chamuel is an extremely busy angel, and one of his responsibilities is to help people suffering from loneliness. If you're feeling alone and need help, you can call on Chamuel. If you don't know Chamuel's name, you can ask to speak to an angel who helps people who are lonely.

Sit down quietly, close your eyes, and relax. Start by taking three slow, deep breaths, holding each breath for a few seconds before exhaling slowly. Once you've done this, forget about your breathing and allow a wave of relaxation to spread through you. Follow this by relaxing the toes on one of your feet. Once they feel relaxed, allow the relaxation to spread into your foot, and to then drift over your ankles and into your calf muscles and thigh muscles. Repeat this with your other leg. Allow the relaxation to drift into your abdomen, chest, and shoulders. Allow the relaxation to drift down one arm to the tips of your fingers, and then repeat this with your other arm. Allow the relaxation to spread into your neck and face, and to then drift up to the top of your head. Take as much time as you need to completely relax your body. There's no need to hurry. Once you're fully relaxed, focus on your breathing again and enjoy the pleasant, relaxed state you're in. Ask the angel you want to talk with to join you and wait until you sense the angel's presence. Your mind will drift away at times. This is normal. Whenever you notice that this has happened, dismiss the thought, and focus on your breathing again. Once you make contact with the angel, talk silently or out loud, and enjoy the conversation. This could happen the first time you try this, but it's more likely to occur after several sessions.

2. Dreams. Everyone dreams, though some people fail to remember them. Dreams help us evaluate and sort out what is happening in our lives, so we can function well when we're awake. Many people experience angels in their dreams from time to time, but these occur involuntarily. You're more likely to experience an angel in your dreams if you tell yourself before falling asleep that you want to communicate with a specific angel about a certain matter. You also need to tell yourself that you'll remember the dream when you wake up. Do this three to five times before drifting into sleep. Continue doing this every night, until you remember a dream that relates to your angel and your concern. Keep pen and paper, or some type of recording device, beside your bed so you can record everything that you remember before the dream fades.

3. Thoughts, feelings, and hunches. We all experience thoughts and feelings all the time, and hunches, or intuitions, are common, too. All of these can be used to communicate with the angelic realms. Whenever you have a spare moment in your everyday life, think about your need to speak with a particular angel. Let the thought go and carry on with your day. If you do this frequently, you'll start receiving replies from the angel you want to communicate with. You'll recognize these responses as thoughts or feelings that come from some other source, rather than from your subconscious mind.

4. Coincidences. We all experience coincidences, synchronicities, and serendipitous occurrences every now and again. Many people believe that such moments are caused by angels working on our behalf. Next time you experience one, pause for a few seconds, and then silently speak to your guardian angel, or any other angel you wish to communicate with. You can do this at other times, also. A friend of mine talks to her guardian angel every time she sees a feather.

5. Letters. Writing a letter to the angel you want to communicate with is a particularly good way to make angelic contact. You'll need to have a purpose in mind before writing the letter. The purpose might be as simple as wanting to establish contact with the particular angel. Write your letter as if you're writing to a good friend and include information about your family, work, hopes, and dreams. The act of writing forces you to clarify everything in your mind. Finish by thanking the angel for looking after you and attending to your needs. It doesn't matter if your letter is short or long, as long as you include everything you wish to say. You might be fortunate enough to hear from the angel while you're writing the letter. In this case, you can stop writing and start talking about everything that's on your mind. If that doesn't happen, you'll have to "mail" the letter. Place the letter inside an envelope and write the name of the angel you're sending it to on the front. If you don't know the angel's name, write, "To the angel who looks after (whatever your concern happens to be)." Sit down in front of a lit candle with the envelope held in your cupped hands. Think of the angel you're sending the letter to and express your thanks. When you've said everything you want to say, burn the envelope in the candle flame and watch the smoke carry your message to your angel. Collect the ashes and scatter them outdoors. Always keep a container of water nearby whenever you work with candles, in case of accident.

6. Prayer. Praying is another good way to contact angels. The Bible warns against worshipping angels, but that's not what this is about. All you need to do is to pray in your normal manner and during the course of the prayer ask for help in contacting the angel you wish to communicate with.

7. Angel numbers. Repeating numbers are often a sign of an angelic presence. It doesn't mean anything if you look at your watch and see the time is 11:11. However, if you see the same number repeating in a variety of ways over a short period of time, such as on a car's license plate, a house number, the length of a movie, or the page you've reached in a book, the chances are that it will be an angel number. This is a sign that angels are wanting to communicate with you. Angel numbers can be any combination of numbers. 3648 may well be an angel number if it occurs three or more times within a short period. They don't need to be repeating numbers such as 777 or 111. When you sense an angel number, sit down quietly as soon as you can, relax, and silently start talking to the angel.

There are many other ways to gain a connection with the angelic realms. If you're prepared to be patient, and are willing and open to angelic communication, it won't be long until you're conversing with any angel you need to speak with.

My dad passed away December of 2022. Before we knew he was sick, my son told us that Papaw was going to get sick and die. (My son often says weird things and then they happen.) Two weeks later, we found out Dad had cancer. He lived for eight months after being diagnosed. After he passed, I received a text on my phone that would not receive texts. This was two weeks after he passed and it came from my sister's number but was dated for the day my dad passed. It said, Help me find my phone I can't find it where is my stuff someone please help me. My sister never sent any such text. Now the TV changes channels all the time and we hear banging and doors shutting. We hear footsteps like someone in boots is walking. Right before Dad died, we were renovating his room because we moved into his house with him and he wanted it done. Now my husband and I are waking to the sound of someone sanding the walls, which is the next step in that room. My daughter once turned and said, Good night, Papaw, when she was going to bed. I feel him here sometimes and I talk to him daily! I have an overwhelming need to talk to him. So my question is, do you think all of this just my way of trying to cope with losing him and needing to talk to him, or is it really possible he's here? I ask him all the time for a sign that he is here, and once I got what sounded like someone whispering in my ear but it could have been me just needing him to contact me. I was his caregiver and we were very close and this has been so hard on me. I just don't know if all of this is really happening.

It sounds to me like there is plenty of evidence to suggest that your father's spirit remains in your home and is regularly sending you affirming messages. For centuries, people have dismissed legitimate signs from their deceased loved ones by attributing them to grief or imagination, so both the signs you're experiencing and your skepticism are very normal.

First, I encourage you to give yourself permission to acknowledge these events as real. I think we insult the spirit world when we shake off spirits' attempts to connect with us as wishful thinking. I can only imagine how frustrating this may be for the spirits involved.

It's clear that your son and daughter are highly in tune with your dad's spirit; they even openly acknowledge his presence. Your son was able to intuitively predict his illness long before anyone else was aware of it. Children are much more psychically open and expressive of what they sense. Please encourage them to continue to honor their intuition/sixth sense.

The events you speak of are true blessings. To see so much evidence of your father's spirit around you must be a great comfort. It does help that you are living in his home, where he can easily make his presence known. As his caretakers, you and the children would naturally be the people he is closest to.

Your father remains a very strong presence in the home. I find it quite amusing that you are waking to the sound of sanding in his room, for it is as if he is reminding you to finish up the work he started. With so many signs that his spirit continues to reside in the house, you should feel free to speak to him whenever you like. Though you may not receive obvious or immediate responses, sharing your thoughts, dreams and memories with him will fill you both with joy.

He will continue to watch over you and your family in a protective way. At some point, you may feel that his presence is fading. This is natural as he adjusts to his new form and prepares to begin a new life in the spirit realm. However, you can trust that he will always be there when you need him, just as he was when he was alive.

I do have one note of caution for you: A remodeling project in an older home can sometimes awaken the spirits of other individuals who have lived in the house. If you ever get the sense that these paranormal events are not connected with your father, or if negative events start to happen, you may need to do a cleansing or call in someone to clear unwanted entities. From your email, I do not feel that this is what has been happening, but it's something you should be aware of.

I'm sorry for your loss. What a loving daughter you are to have been your father's caregiver, and to have set your own life aside and moved into his home to care for him. It can be very stressful to juggle caring for a sick parent with sustaining a marriage and raising children!

Losing your caregiver role so suddenly and unexpectedly was another big adjustment. You had momentum going, and when it screeched to a halt, you had to shift gears and deal with all the tasks that accompany the death of a loved one. I feel certain you've been a good role model for your children, and have helped them see that illness, dying, grief and change are all part of a messy, imperfect and wonderful life.

Often, there's a rebound effect after caregiving. If you were unable to honor your need for rest as you went along, it probably caught up with you when the job ended! You may still need some down time to replenish yourself and to appreciate how well you responded to the call for action created by your father's diagnosis.

While stress and a lack of sleep can make us vulnerable to misperceiving and misinterpreting what's going on around us, there is good reason to assume that your father is still around. The abruptness of his passing was probably a shock for him, too, and he may not be ready to let go and move on.

It's common for the dying to have regrets about things they did not do or complete in their lifetime. Your father may feel a sense of incompletion about the room renovation. You might remind him that while the room and other projects went unfinished, there were many things he DID accomplish in his life.

Tell him what you loved best and appreciated most about him. When a loved one passes without warning, we are usually left with things we wish we would have shared but didn't. Though he has left this world physically, you can still do that; in fact, it would be healthy for you to talk to him now.

I invited your father to guide me in choosing two tarot cards. The one for you is Guardian, Woman of Crystals. It depicts a contemplative woman holding a beautiful gem, surrounded by many more. Your father clearly treasured you and your loving care. The message of the card is to focus on the positive, count your blessings, and guard against negative thoughts.

The card for your father is Seer, Sage of Wands, which is the highest card in the spiritual suit. It depicts a wise guide or teacher. You can rest assured that your father is with you in spirit, and you can always turn to him for strength and wisdom both now and when he finally moves on.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
