    • Q and A with Corin Grillo, Author of The Angel Experiment

      The Angel Experiment is based on a popular 21-day course Grillo has been offering only since 2015, with miraculous results.  It outlines a nonreligious, yet highly spiritual, step-by-step method for working with the angels in just five to ten minutes a day for 21 days.  The book’s guided daily meditations and invocations offer readers a tangible experience of how angels can help hem manifest the life they truly desire. We hope you’ll enjoy this Q and A with her about the book.


      Tell us about your book The Angel Experiment and what inspired you to write about it.

      The angels inspired me to write it. The angels inspire me and guide me to do all of the work that I do because they want humans to know that they are not alone. They want us to learn how to work with them.

      How did you first start working with the angels?

      During a very hard period in my life, I prayed to the angels. When I did, they brought a life-changing miracle into my life and after that moment, it was impossible for me to deny the existence of angels.

      You encourage your readers to treat your book as if they are scientists beginning a potentially groundbreaking laboratory experiment. Why is this important?

      It’s important to keep an open mind when working with angels. Open minds lead to open eyes and humans are more able to see the influence of Spirit in their lives when they aren’t overly skeptical.

      Healthy discernment is ok, but ruling out the possibility that angels exist blocks their magic really quickly!

      Do you believe in miracles? Why or why not?

      Yes. They happen all of the time and come in a variety of different forms. Some are “smaller” than others, but the more you work with angels, the more your heart and mind can perceive and experience life’s miracles in all forms.

      You say in The Angel Experiment that we need to develop the right kind of eyes to signs from the angels. How so?

      Learning to see the influence of angels takes a perspective shift that most of us didn’t learn growing up. In the West, we emphasize and place a higher value on logic and linear thinking. The influence of Spirit, however, lives in the creative, intuitive, and “irrational” part of our minds. Without opening up our spiritual senses, it is challenging to fully experience the gifts that angels and other helpful beings work so hard to offer us.

      Our culture spends a lot of time dismissing and discounting anything that can’t be put under a microscope, and it’s too bad. Many people are missing out on an incredible opportunity to expand in love, joy, health, and wealth by shutting that part of themselves down.

      You say it is important to manage our expectations and to have patience when working with angels. Why is that important?

      Though the angels often work quickly to show us they are real, they will also do it in their own way. Sometimes the way that they show up in our lives is not the way we are hoping for or expecting.

      This is why it’s important to develop your intuitive senses while working with angels.

      Sometimes the presence of angels can be subtle yet potent. If we are looking for just “giant” signs, we may miss the gold that is right in front of us when it comes in more subtle ways.

      It’s also important to know that when we are inviting new outcomes into our lives, sometimes the manifestations won’t look exactly the way that we want them to.

      Learning how to be grateful for anything and everything we are given is one of the keys to expanding into broader miraculous fields.

      You encourage readers to reimagine coincidences when working with the angels. Tell us more about that please.

      Yes, quite simply, “coincidence” and “synchronicity” play huge roles in the way that angels reveal their presence to humans and guide our lives. If we dismiss these events as “just a coincidence,” we can miss the divine intervention that is happening on our behalf and the pure magic that is life itself.

      I beg my readers to stop saying, “that was just a coincidence,” and to start being curious about the possibility that it wasn’t a coincidence at all. What if it is direct communication from your angels? What are the angels trying to tell you? Questions like these keep your angelic magic flowing, as opposed to shutting it down.

      What do you most hope readers will take away from your book?

      I hope that they will experience the magic and the reality of the angels’ influence in their lives, so that they know once and for all, that they are not alone, that they have never been alone, and that they never have to feel alone again. Miracles are real.

    • Double Vision: Wedding Rings After Divorce: Bad Mojo?
      subscribe-horoscopes

      My ex-husband and I divorced six years ago, and at that time, my ex asked for my engagement ring back. He had designed it, and it is worth a lot of money. It really is gorgeous. I gave it back since it seemed to mean a lot to him. I’ve just learned that he is planning on giving it to our daughter as a college graduation gift! For some reason, this feels “wrong” to me – I guess I’m afraid it will bring her bad luck in love or something. Is that crazy? Do you think that wedding rings from failed marriages might carry bad energy? If so, should we be careful with all antique or estate jewelry? Blessings!

      – Mary

      Dreamchaser:

      I absolutely believe that some objects can hold on to energy. I believe that we leave “energy trails” everywhere we go. When we walk into a room, we feel a “vibe.” That is the combination of everyone’s and everything’s energy in the room. You can also feel “vibes” from individual people or objects.

      I think that whenever we bring ANYTHING into our house, be it new or old, we need to bless it and cleanse it with whatever method we feel is best. Just because something is new doesn’t mean that lots of people haven’t touched it and left energy trails on it. Objects will hold the energies of EVERYONE who comes into contact with them, and usually, that’s a whole lot of people.

      I usually just put my hands on an object and ask the Universe to please cleanse and bless it, but you can ask God, the Goddess, or your own term for a higher power. I thank the Universe for bringing it to me, and command that it can only be used for love, light and good. I personally consider it blessed at that point. Some people may want to do more or less – whatever works for you is the right way for you.

      I do not believe that your ex-husband giving your daughter the ring is bad luck. The ring did not bring you bad luck; the marriage ended because you two had done what you had come together to do. It was time to end the relationship. The karma between you two had been fulfilled.

      When you received the ring, you were in love and had high hopes for the future. A whole lot of those hopes did come true. You two did have a very successful relationship and marriage. Its ending doesn’t nullify the success of this relationship during the years you were together.

      The ring means something completely different to each of you. Your ex sees it as a sign of hope and love and joy. He also thinks it’s the most beautiful thing he owns, and the most precious thing he can give his daughter. You see it quite another way.

      I will give you a solution that will work for you all. I want you to get very comfortable in a chair or lying down. Picture the ring in your head. Allow all the feelings you have about that ring to come up to the surface. Do not suppress any of it. When you are done cycling those emotions, say out loud something like, “I ask of the Universe that this ring only carry love and joy with it from here on out.”

      Then you will have protected it and cleared yourself of some emotional baggage, though you obviously still have issues about that relationship. I hope this is a first step toward new healing for you.

      I wish you all good fortune.

      *****

      Astrea:

      The reason you feel wrong about that ring going to your daughter is because it is an inappropriate gift for a girl her age. Your main fear is that she won’t realize its value, and she’ll lose it.

      While I feel this ring belongs with your daughter, until she really gets out into the world, it’s likely she’ll lose it. If she will accept the ring and then let you put it in a safe deposit box for her until she’s older, then that’s different. Maybe she could tell her dad that she wants to keep it in a safe place until she gets married, and that you will do that for her.

      When I read about your situation, I got the feeling that your ex feels he HAS to give it to her now. He may have a new girlfriend who is ponying up to get that ring from him, and since he’s not in love with the girlfriend, he doesn’t want to give it to her. Truly, he would LIKE to give the ring back to YOU, for he feels like a jerk for asking for it back in the first place.

      Now he figures as long as he keeps it in the family, he’s doing the right thing. In a backhanded way, he’s trying to make some things up to you through your daughter. The poor guy thought you would be thrilled that he was going to give the ring to her. It never crossed his mind that she might lose it. I’m not saying she would be careless, but it’s an awesome responsibility for her to try to keep up with that ring right now.

      I know how difficult it can be to talk to an ex. To talk him out of doing something he wants to do when it’s a gift for your daughter is even harder, because even though you’re trying to talk sense into him, you may come off as small and petty.

      Talk sense to HER instead of with him. Sit down and explain to her that you don’t want it for yourself, but want to be sure she still has it when she’s ready to actually wear it. Though your daughter isn’t old enough to care for it yet, she IS going to get the ring. It would mean so much more to her if she was wearing it at her wedding than it would if some future roommate took it and pawned it for the rent! Tell her you’ll keep it safe and she can visit it any time she wants.

      As far as bad vibes, you’re right, but what you’re sensing more than anything here is that it will VANISH. Anyway, all you have to do to cleanse jewelry is place it in a white dish and set it in a window with a full moon shining on it overnight. I do that with all used jewelry, just in case. I figure it can’t hurt, and it just might help.

      Insist on doing that if she decides to keep it – it might even protect her from losing it, at least for a while.
