One and Done
I’m still mulling over what we said yesterday about boundaries. I’ve been thinking about what mine are, what I want them to be, where I could do a little tweaking, stuff like that. But I don’t really have anything definitive yet. I do however have a success story!!
So one of the things on my “Radical Self Care ~ Stuff I Need” list is this:
- I haven’t mowed at all yet and it’s JULY!
This is a true story! June is over and I still haven’t mowed even one time! I have a push mower, I have a riding lawn mower… but nothing gets mowed. I hate mowing. I really really hate mowing. A riding lawn mower should make things easy but I really hate getting on it. The whole thing makes me tired just to think about it. The grass is more than thigh high … it’s just stupid to never mow!
But here’s the thing! The mowing situation was the first thing that came to my mind when I was contemplating this project, and an “I Need” box… wondering how it would work. So, I thought about it. And I had two thoughts:
- What if I paid someone to mow?
Which of course is impossible since I live out in the middle of no where and no one in their right mind would want to touch it unless they had a brush hog… Plus the poison ivy is taking over… and most people are allergic… bla bla bla… (That was me talking myself out of hiring someone.)
- What if that someone was me?
I could hire myself!! I decided that if I was paid like… $100 to mow, I’d probably do it. So. I scrounged up 5 twenty dollar bills and handed them to my daughter and said. I want you to pay me to mow my grass. She burst out laughing… but agreed to buy me something cool and interesting with the money and I could have that cool and interesting thing when I demonstrated proof of the mowed grass.
At this point, my granddaughter walked by. She said “I’ll do it.” I said. “OK!” I handed her the money. She said “No I don’t want your money.” I said “But you have to take it or you can’t mow my grass.” And tomorrow my grass is getting mowed.
Now It’s Your Turn
Who can you hire to help you with stuff? What if you hired yourself? How would that look? Would it work for you? Is there anything that would really help you out that you could hire someone to do for you, or ask someone to do with you?
Meditation To Meet Your Guardian Angel
The following prayer should be spoken, mentally or aloud before making contact with your angels. You should change it so it’s one you feel comfortable saying.
Address the prayer to one or more of the following: God, Goddess, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Archangel Michael and the angels, QuanYin, Mother Mary, Mohammed, Moses, St. Germain, Father Wind, Mother Earth, a specific Goddess, Saint or Master.
Thank you so much for your love and assistance.
Amen
Sit in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Place both feet on the ground and begin to mentally prepare for you meditation. Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Close your eyes and imagining roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth.
Then follow this simple breathing exercise to relax your physical body: breathe in through your nose, hold it for 7 seconds, and release it very slowly through your mouth. Repeat 3 times then unconsciously continue breathing this way throughout the meditation. Tell your Ego-self (or lower self) to stand aside. Mentally tell the Ego-self it is silenced now and know it is so.
Ask the Holy Spirit to surround you in a beam of white protective light. The Holy Spirit will immediately respond and beams down a ray of protective white light.
Imagine yourself in a beautiful place, it can be a forest, a meadow, a beach, wherever you will feel comfortable. Find a comfortable spot in this beautiful place to rest and relax.
Now, in your mind’s eye, look around you, and notice a path. It is a beautiful path filled with love. This path is very long; it seems to go on and on—you can’t see the end of it. Keep your focus on this path.
Mentally ask for your Guardian Angel to come forth. Express your interest in wanting to meet him/her. See an illuminated ball of light in the distance.
It may be white or may be a color. Notice the color you see. See it slowly coming closer and closer becoming aware that the light is getting larger as it comes closer to you. Your Angel may decide to make itself known in another form. Just let this happen. Note what the light looks like as it come closer
Now your angel is directly in front of you. There may be more than one as your other angels, guides, relatives and pets may want to connect with you.
Greet your angel. You may get impressions, emotions, and tingly feelings. Its not uncommon for Angels to talk to you in your own voice, so don’t discount your inner voice as your imagination. Feelings of love, encouragement and warmth are most common markers of Angelic contact.
Thank your Angel for all the times that they have helped you, comforted you and protected you. Mentally invite the intervention, guidance and assistance of your Angel in your life from this point onwards.
Ask your angel the name they wish to be called. Angels’ true names are unpronounceable by us. They will either make up a name or let you choose one. If you don’t get one right away, don’t worry. You may get a color or a musical note, every contact is different. Just know that whatever you receive is correct for you.
Ask your angel to communicate any messages to you. Absorb any communication such as thoughts, visions, knowingness and feelings, love and emotions.
Ask your angel any questions you have, one at a time. Note the answers. Don’t doubt the information or emotions you are given, just let your angel communicate to you in their own way.
Now say the following prayer to your guardian angel:
Now ask the Creator to bless you and your Angel. See the both of you showered by the Light and Love from the Divine
Thank your Angel for meeting you in this meditation. Let your angel know you look forward to contacting them again soon Know they are always by your side.
Focus on grounding and centering yourself by picturing the roots from your feet into Mother Earth. Pause a moment and open your eyes.
Did you get a name? If not, don’t worry, sometimes just feeling your angel’s energy is enough in the beginning.

How Do Angels Communicate With Us?
Angels help mostly by by communicating directly if you are able to receive or indirectly with omens (i.e. a book they feel you should read may fall off a shelf in your path for example). Out of nowhere, you may suddenly have a desire to contact someone or go somewhere.
They can also send information in dreams and as compressed energy that unfolds over time—you’ll have a knowing but won’t be able to verbalize it or explain it for a while as the pieces of the puzzle come together. They can also send you very high-level healing energies and healing. If you are able to feel subtle energies you may feel this as warmth or tingling pulses of energy moving through your body.
After asking your angel for assistance, watch for repetition of words you see, hear or think. Notice patterns like repeatedly hearing a song, seeing a bumper sticker or having a friend unknowingly repeat the very same message your angel gave you. Keep asking until you feel you completely understand the answer.
My personal experience is that I will find a feather when I am making the right decision or on the right path. I have found feathers in unexpected places, such as in an elevator… at the grocery story on a shelf… even found one once on the floor of a Walmart.
As you begin to get to know your angels, you will begin to have an idea of how your angels communicate with you. Everyone is different and we experience Angel energy differently, so stay open to all the possibilities.
Angels On The Way
A 3 pack of worker angels is waiting to visit any person who comments on this post inviting them to come. All you need to do is post a comment and say something to the effect of “My name is (your first name) and I’d be happy to welcome the three angels to my home on (date) at (time).
These angels come from a shaman-in-training who received them from a healer in Mexico (or maybe Brazil–that story was a little hazy). You can ask them for 3 wishes, or you can get guidance, help and support.
From previous messages it is reported that the energy of the angels is subtle at first, then very present by day 3 or so. You receive the angels after dark on day one, keep them for another 5 days and send them on to 3 more people after dark on the 6th night, not counting the night they arrived.
Here is what you need to do to receive them:
Prepare a table with 3 white candles in glasses, a bowl of white rice (cooked or uncooked) with a cinnamon stick, 3 flowers, 3 pictures of angels or angel objects of any kind and 1 small jar of honey. At the appointed time you open your window, light the 3 candles, open the honey and welcome them into your home.
On the last night, send the angels to 3 people by opening your window and telling the angels who to visit.
What to ask for:
This is entirely up to each recipient. Here are some ideas: one person asked for clearing of her physical, emotional and home space, another wish included being physically balanced and grounded during the re-wiring of her spiritual expansion and one angel to work on abundance in all its forms. Someone else asked, “One to help me be, another to help me do and one to help me receive.”

Write A Letter To An Angel
Here is something that might be fun. Write a letter to your Angel. You can address it to a Patron Angel, your Guardian Angel, angels in general, or a specific Angel. Write it on white paper with gold or purple ink. Place it on your Angel Altar, or other special magickal place.
Here’s a sample form for a letter to an Angel that I have used in the past. Please feel free to add to it or change it.
In the name of the Almighty (or any name for God that you prefer),
I ask you great Angel (insert name of Angel)
To: (state your need)
I honor you and thank you for receiving my prayer,
As is your holy duty,
In the name of the Almighty,
Thank you.
Note: If you don’t know the name of the Angel, you can always address it to the “great Angel of… and then insert whatever special abilities you require. For example, if you are having car problems, you can call upon the “great Angel in charge of auto repairs.” For healing, you can ask for the “great Angel of Healing,” etc.

Looking For An Angel
Finding an angel is not too hard. There is only one requirement – you can’t be kidding around when you call an angel. First, I’d like you to sit back and think seriously about why you want to contact the angelic realms. Be honest with yourself. Is there something you want to improve within yourself or your lifestyle, or is there a rough spot in your life that you would like to smooth out? Are you merely curious?
Take your time.
Got it?
Good. Now, get a piece of paper or an index card and write a want ad for your angel. I kid you not. Sit down and compose an ad as if you were looking for a teacher, a friend, someone who has a service you would like to contact, etc. Here are two sample want ads:
WANTED: Angel from the celestial realms. Seeking an angel who can help me improve my self-image. Need one who can get through my stubborn streak.
SEEKING: Angel who is willing to help me with my money problems. Seeking loving assistance to help me create peace and prosperity in my life.
When you’ve finished the ad, hold it in your hand, close your eyes, and concentrate on bringing a being of light toward yourself. Read your ad out loud if you think it will help. Don’t worry about not doing it right – there is no wrong way to ask an angel to help as long as you use good manners. If you would like to say a little prayer, be my guest. Here’s a good one:
Angelic hosts please hear my call
Bright blessings I extend to all.
East and south, west and north
I circle round and call the forth.
Invisible friend, messenger of love
Send me aid from the realms above.
When you are finished, tuck the card in a pocket or pin it someplace on your clothing where no one can see it. Don’t announce to everyone you know that you’ve just placed a want ad for an angel. We don’t want anyone’s negative thoughts interfering with your project.
After help has arrived and you feel the need to share the information with someone who can use it, then by all means do so. If you have friends or family you know will scoff at you, don’t bother. An old magickal adage is: “Teach not the mysteries to fools.” Others will find their way on their own time without using you as a stepping stone.
Don’t expect your angel to appear to you with trumpets of glory and lights of gold and silver. Angels are often subtle in their work. You may receive a job offer from an unexpected source. A friend may call to pull you out of your doldrums. You may pick up a book and find the answer you were looking for there. When angels are around, there is no such thing as coincidence. It is your job to heighten your sensitivity.
If you open your mental eyes, you will see angels everywhere.
Can the Archangels Help?!
Here, we have an interesting exercise to call in the big cavalry – the Arch Angels, Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel.
First, we have to orient ourselves in space. Figure out where due south is from where you are facing right now. It doesn’t have to be that accurate, roughly right will do, and if you really can’t figure it out, make a decision right now as to where south is going to be for the purposes of this exercise. The Arch Angels are very forgiving of human fallibility and won’t hold this against you ☺
- In the south resides Arch Angel Michael.
So now, stand up, turn to the South and ask in your own words Michael to help you out, for whatever you need help with right now.
When you have made your request, give a bow and turn to your right.
- That’s west, and here we find Gabriel.
Ask Gabriel for help, give a bow and turn to the right again.
- This is the north, and Uriel.
Ask Uriel for help, thank it with a bow and do the last right turn.
- Now you are facing east, and that is Raphael.
Ask Raphael for help, bow.
For a moment, stand in the center and breathe deeply, then thank them all globally and – return to Earth!
