Angels, Spirit Guides,
and Past-Life Regression
For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
—Psalms 91:11
Angels and spirit guides have been part of our world for thousands of years. These beings of light have influenced many cultures, both past and present. They have helped to bring a part of Heaven to Earth.
These beings of love and light can also assist you with your own past-life regression work. They will guide you, comfort you, and help to heal you. When you are in an altered state of consciousness, angels and spirit guides sometimes will come to you and support you during your past-life regression experience.
Perhaps your guardian angel will hold your hand and walk with you as you explore a previous lifetime. Sometimes an angel or high-minded spirit guide will take you into a healing garden and communicate with you.
These celestial beings are with you while you sleep and in your astral travels into the heavenly realms. Simply ask for their help, and they will be there for you to help you on your past-life exploration.
What Angels, Spirit Guides,
and High-Minded Light Figures Are
Many people confuse the terms angels and spirit guides when talking or thinking about these light beings. Countless numbers of people believe they are one and the same. Even though these beings work with each other and in some cases perform similar tasks or missions, they are not the same. Angels and spirit guides do not belong in the same phylum or order. The fact is that an angel has always been an angel and will always be one.
These celestial beings are the unique creation of the Creator. They have a divine connection with the Creator and perform numerous tasks on behalf of the heavenly realms. There is a hierarchy in Heaven that begins with God, the Creator, Supreme Being, Universal Energy, or whatever you wish to call it. It is here at the core or center that the Creator, consisting of both male and female principles, radiated divine energy outwards into the universe, the stars, the planets, and the earth. This divine essence possessing intelligence, power, and healing energy permeates both the higher spiritual vibrations of Heaven and the lower physical vibrations of Earth.
It is the angels that move and work in both realms. They are as numerous as the stars, are unique, and have different missions or purposes. Some of these special beings work as guardian angels, protecting individuals during their lifetimes. In fact, many small children can see their own guardian angels and accept these celestial beings with open and innocent hearts.
The hierarchy of Heaven consists of an established order of angels, starting with the archangels who possess wondrous powers and are responsible for all the other angels. The archangels are very close to the presence of the Creator and perform very special missions, taking on the attributes of important divine messengers, miracle workers, great healers, protectors, spiritual teachers, and warriors against the darkness of evil.
Unlike angels, spirit guides have existed in human form in the past. They have lived, felt, and experienced the emotions associated with living in the physical on Earth. These beings no longer possess a physical body and now function in their true essence as souls, possessing higher rates of vibrations than people do.
There is a very close relationship between the human family and spirit guides. Spirit guides, like human beings, come from “all walks of life.” They have their unique personalities and idiosyncrasies, just as with human beings. They are merely souls without physical bodies who have agreed or wish to work with people. This service to humankind is provided for our benefit and so that spirit guides can grow and evolve toward their own true enlightenment.
High-minded light beings are beings possessing extremely high vibrations. Jesus, Saint Germaine, El Morya, Mother Mary, Buddha, and others are examples of these celestial beings that help humans.
They may exist in the heavenly realms but come down to Earth to assist humanity on a regular basis. All of these light beings possess amazing gifts.
How They Help Us and Why They Help Us
Angels can heal, comfort, protect, and guide you throughout your life. These spiritual beings are also heavenly messengers that herald news or bring warnings to people. The word angel comes from the Greek word aggelos, or angelos, which means “messenger.”
Your angels will also work with you in strange and wondrous ways. Gifted healers or persons who have and desire to use this potential will be able to start working with healing angels.
These celestial beings possess healing gifts and can “vibrate down” from the higher realms or lower their frequencies, descending into this physical realm where they will join their energies with your auric field.
There are also angels assigned to people who are about to pass over to the other side. As the person’s body is dying, the individual will start to see or sense the presence of angels, spirit guides, and loved ones. This visitation will normally occur a day or two before the death of the human body.
Spirit guides work in conjunction with the angels. Both share similarities with each other when assisting humans on the earthly plane. Spirit guides perform duties such as guiding, teaching, and comforting people.
Spirit guides, especially the ones in training, come here to learn and experience situations. All people have spirit guides around them as well as angels. And like angels, there are many types of these spirit beings or guides.
How You Might Experience Their Assistance
Certain spirit guides possess skills such as are found in physicians, healers, business managers, accountants, orators, teachers, and so forth. They will work specifically with individuals who need assistance in these distinct areas of expertise.
Some of you will have a few guides helping you at any one time. Others of you will have numerous guides around you to assist in your tasks and life experiences. Wise, loving teachers are assigned to many people in order to help them into more enlightened souls; many angels assist in these teachings as well.
There are some human souls in the heavenly fields who decide to become spirit guides rather than return physically to Earth; in some cases, these souls will be asked to work in this capacity.
All of this is pertinent to the soul growth of spirit guides and human beings as well.
Example of Working
with Angels and Religious Figures
Angela had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She called me and booked an appointment for some energy healing work. When she arrived, a scarf covered her bald head. The loss of her hair had been due to the side effects of several rounds of chemotherapy treatment. I doubt if she was much older than her early forties.
Angela entered my office and sat down on the recliner. Since I could see the colors of the aura about her, I started “reading” this human energy field. All living things upon this earth possess an aura, or energy field. The light spectrum from the sun, the chemicals within the human body, the electromagnetic energy, the chemical secretions within, and the emotions all contribute to the aura of humans.
I glanced at the top of her head to see if there was any healing energy ready to work down into her aura and physical body. I then looked at her heart chakra and breast area. “Angela, I would like you to lift your arms up. I want to look under the arms,” I said. Sometimes a person who has a cancer within the body, and is having chemotherapy treatments, will have certain colors swirling here. Usually, the area just over the lymph nodes in the armpits will have darker, uglier lights. I noticed on the right side in Angela’s armpit, and into the right breast, an ugly grayish-green light. It floated just over the diseased area.
I explained it to Angela and told her what I saw.
As Angela put her arms back down and placed her hands loosely into her lap, she nodded and said, “Yes, that is where the cancer is. It’s in my right breast.”
Over the years, I have learned to interpret the colors in the human aura that cover the body and move about like the colors of a rainbow after a summer storm. With practice I am able to diagnose the health conditions of an individual. This is a gift that the Creator gave me in order to allow me to help people. In our world today there are millions of others with similar gifts. These people are sometimes called medical intuitives. Some of these special individuals can actually see within the physical body in much the same manner as an x-ray machine or other scanning device.
Others have the abilities to use empathic skills and sense where the problems are located within the human body. Many gifted healers are able to use this attribute.
Once I scanned Angela’s aura, chakras, and her physical body, looking for any energy blocks and negative colors, I began the energy session. With a gentle voice I guided her into a very deep, receptive state. At the same time, the healing colors from above descended into her crown chakra, and moved downward into her energy field. These beautiful colors of light blue, light green, and white flowed over top of her physical form. These hues moved throughout each one of her chakras, especially her heart chakra or heart energy center. Then I was amazed as these healing lights moved into the right breast and under the arm into the armpit itself.
A peaceful smile graced Angela’s face. In seconds, the lovely face of her guardian angel became superimposed there. The most incredible blue eyes stared at me, or rather through me. I felt like she was looking deep into my eternal soul. This was a profound and humbling experience for me.
I saw a shimmering light within her aura that started to move upward out the top of Angela’s head. I knew that she was starting to soul journey or astral travel. The beautiful lights still danced and swirled around her.
With my voice I directed her to a peaceful garden. Then I asked, “Angela, tell me what you see. What is happening?”
“I’m floating through a lovely garden. I can see and smell the flowers here. I can also hear a waterfall splashing nearby. There are spirit guides who are covered in pretty lights around me. Someone, I think he is male, is holding my hand and walking me up some white marble steps. I’m staring at two brilliant golden doors. The reflection from the sun is almost blinding. My guide is pushing these large doors inwards. He is now looking at me and beckoning for me to follow him inside.”
“Where are you?” I was very curious as I leaned forward.
“I’m standing inside the courtyard of a beautiful building. I think it’s a healing temple. There are white marble columns surrounding the area where I am. A water fountain in the center is splashing softly. I can smell everything and feel the warm breeze here.”
“How do you feel here?”
“I feel wonderful. I’m at peace here. I can feel an incredible amount of energy flowing through my body, especially into my right breast. It tingles in this area.” Angela had a serene look upon her face. Her guardian angel was still gazing at me with those bright blue eyes.
“Just allow it to flow. Enjoy the energy. Describe what you see as well.” I was watching the light show dancing around her. There were lots of green, blue, and white colors moving about. Over her right breast and under her arm, a great amount of these colors swirled. This was an indication that she was allowing true healing to occur.
“Oh! A beautiful woman dressed in a light-blue robe is walking toward me. I know who she is. She is Mary Magdalene, a great healer. She has a big smile on her face.” Tears were slowly rolling down her cheeks as she stated this.
“Wonderful. Let the scene unfold.” I was pleased with all that was taking place. I considered it a gift and blessing to be a witness to this wondrous event.
“I am lying above a patch of grass—just floating. There are huge shade trees above. I can see some sunlight shimmering through the branches. Mary is laying her hands on me. Some beings of light are joining her now. They are putting their hands on me. I can feel great amounts of energy flowing through me. It feels great. I’m sure these are healing angels working on me. All of them are concentrating on my right breast and upper arm. A cool tingling sensation is going into there.”
It was best to let the events continue for a few minutes. She needed as much healing energy as possible. The ugly grayish-green color that was originally present over her right breast and armpit was changing to a lighter and prettier color. I noticed vibrant light green, light blue, and white energy swirling into this area. An amazing amount of this Divine Energy or Universal Energy was working into the breast, the tissue, and the cells. These healing colors from above were working right into the cellular level in order to heal the tumor. I knew something special was happening.
Angela was allowing her body to be healed. The angels, Mary Magdalene, and the Divine Intelligence from above were all working together in harmony. I thought of a symphony creating great music together. All were necessary to create the desired results. It was my hope for Angela that a true healing would be the result.
She described how Mary Magdalene and the healing angels worked on her soul form. Angela could still feel a tremendous energy flow.
“Now, they are finished. The angels are leaving. Mary is taking my hand and leading me to a stone bench. We’re sitting there together. She is talking to me.”
“Can you tell me what she is saying to you?” I was fascinated as I looked at her.
“Mary Magdalene is telling me that I am healed. My breast cancer was caught in the very early stages. She says that when you catch a disease at this stage, you have the ability to heal yourself if you believe. Mary and a few healing angels will continue to provide healing energy on me at nighttime while I’m sleeping. They will be doing this for several weeks. I’ve been given the opportunity to stay here on the earth for several more years. I am to make the best of it.”
“Let the scenes continue. Ask Mary to let you see a previous lifetime, one that affects you now,” I suggested gently to her, in hopes that she would also experience an important past life.
“Oh. Mary Magdalene is holding my hand. We are floating over hills and slowly descending to a beautiful forest. There is a large lake nearby. I can feel and see brown shoes on my feet as I am walking along a path. It is warm and peaceful here.”
“Let yourself explore this place. Keep walking around and describe what you see and how you feel,” I directed in a soft voice.
“I’m walking alongside the lake, and as I glance in the water I can see my face and what I’m wearing. My hair is brown and long. I’m quite pretty here. There is a light blue dress on my body. I must be around forty years of age.”
“Allow it to continue. Let the next event unfold.” I sat back and waited to hear what would happen next.
Angela’s breathing started to get heavy. Her eyes were moving very rapidly back and forth under her closed eyelids. The peaceful look on her face had been replaced with worry and fear.
“I can hear the soldiers on horseback galloping toward me. I know they are after me. I’m very scared. There’s no place to run. I’m trapped. I don’t know what to do. I’m running away from the lake and into the forest. I hope I can lose them.”
My client’s breathing was still labored. Her face was twisted up as she continued with her tale. “No. Oh, no. I can see them now. They are on all sides of me. Some of them are riding their horses down from the hill on my left. The king’s soldiers are everywhere. I’m surrounded. All of them are closing around me with their swords drawn. One of them, the leader, is yelling at me that I am an evil witch and must die. He says it is the king’s orders that I and others like me must die. People like me are an affront to God-fearing people.”
She continued, “I’m crying now and begging them to let me live, to leave me alone. I am innocent. I’ve done nothing wrong but heal with my hands and use herbs from the forest. They don’t care. The leader is getting off his brown horse and walking toward me with his sword drawn. I can see the hate in his eyes.”
I instructed Angela to allow the scene to continue and told her that her guardian angel was there protecting her. She was safe here as she watched the terrible event unfolding.
“He’s stabbing me in the chest with his sword. The pain is horrible. It hurts so much. The front of my blue dress is covered with blood. I feel weak and I’m falling to the ground. My breathing is heavy. Blood is oozing from my mouth. I can see the soldiers looking down at me and laughing. I can see the blue sky and clouds just above. Everything is starting to go dark. I can feel a funny tug inside me.”
“All right, Angela, I want you to see the final moments of that lifetime. Allow yourself to float above the scene and tell us what you see,” I said. (I refer to “us” rather than “me” in these sessions, because I know that angels and spiritual helpers are also a part of all this.) I guided Angela with compassion, knowing that this moment was important for her in the healing process.
Her face became more relaxed as well as her breathing. “The pain is all gone. I’m floating above the forest and looking down at my dead body on the ground. I can see the blood all over the blue dress. The soldiers are starting to ride off. My fear is gone. I’m starting to feel better inside.”
I leaned forward and said, “Move on from that lifetime. Go to a healing place. Tell us what is happening now.”
“Mary Magdalene is back, and a beautiful angel is with her. They are both taking my hands and guiding me to a peaceful and pleasant garden. We are all sitting on the grass here holding hands. Mary is talking to me and telling me it was important for me to see this past life. She says that the sword stabbing my chest on the right side in that lifetime is partially related to the cancer in my right breast. Between the healing that she and the angels did on me and the release of this past incarnation, I am healing my body.”
“Does she have any other messages to pass on to you?” I asked with great curiosity.
“Yes. She loves me very much and so do all my angels and spirit guides. She wants me to have a wonderful, long life. I’m to help others in any way I can. If all of us work together, we can heal this planet and create a heaven on Earth if we wish. She is giving me a big hug now and so is my angel. I think she is my guardian angel. They are smiling at me and waving goodbye. It is time for me to return to Earth now.”
After hearing that, I guided Angela back and told her to focus on her body and the room. In a few moments, the colors around her decreased and she opened her eyes.
I asked her how she felt. Her reply was, “I feel great. I’m at peace. I don’t feel so lost anymore. I know I’m being looked after. I also was told that the cancer is gone. I can still feel some tingling sensation in my right breast.”
Angela left after thanking me for the session.
Many people have had similar experiences as Angela when they explore their own past lives. Mary Magdalene, the Master Jesus, and other religious figures will visit them and interact with them during their past-life recalls and astral visits to the heavens above. This type of event greatly enhances the person’s past-life recall and affects each and every one of them for the rest of their lives. May we all be fortunate enough to experience the wisdom and healing from spirit helpers such as Mary Magdalene and other high-minded spirits.
Exercise: Connecting with Your Light Spirits
The following exercise is designed to help you connect with your angels and spirit guides. You can do this exercise anytime you want.
Begin by finding a quiet room to relax in. Try to remove excess sunlight from coming into the room. Put on some incense such as sandalwood or frankincense. Light a few white candles and place them in a few places throughout the room.
Now, find a nice, comfortable position to sit in; either a chair or the floor will work. Take a deep breath into your lungs and hold it for the count of five. Then release it slowly either through your mouth or nose. Take another breath in and hold it again for the count of five. Once again release all of the breath slowly and evenly out your mouth or nose. Then take another deep breath in for a third and final time. Again, hold it for the count of five and then release it slowly as before.
By taking in three deep breaths, holding them for the count of five, and finally releasing the breath slowly, you have relaxed your mind and slowed down your brainwave patterns. You have succeeded in placing yourself into a light alpha state of consciousness. This is the state needed to be able to connect with your light spirits.
The next thing to do is to ask for angels to come into your room for protection. Imagine the four corners of the room occupied by angels. Feel their presence and their unconditional love filling your heart and your room.
Now ask for spirit guides and high-minded spirits such as Buddha to enter the room. It is your choice whom you want to connect with. Some of you may want the strong, feminine energy associated with Mother Mary or Mary Magdalene to come to you. Feel their presence within the room.
As you are sitting there in a very calm and relaxed state, visualize or imagine one of these spirit guides floating just above your head. Take your hands and lift them above your head and then bring your hands slowly down. Let your hands move down both sides of your head, your neck, and then into your body. Once you have brought the hands down to around your shoulders, place them gently in your lap.
Wait a few moments and then repeat the technique, raising both hands above your head. As last time, bring your hands down past both sides of your head, past your neck, until you reach your shoulders. Finish this by putting your hands back into your lap.
There is one important thing you must do when you raise your hands above your head. Feel and sense the presence of a spirit guide or a high-minded spirit descending from above your head, into the top of your head or crown area. Feel this loving presence entering into your head and your body. You should feel a slight warmth or pressure on the top of your head as you do this. Also, you might feel a pleasant, cool sensation covering your face.
This is a sign that you have connected with one of your spirit guides or high-minded spirits. In essence, one of these light beings has descended into your aura, through the top of the head, and into your physical body. Just enjoy the experience for a few moments.
Let yourself relax and listen to any impressions or words that come into your head. If you have a question that needs answering, feel free to ask either with thought or with quiet words.
Know that the answer you seek will come to you sometime in the near future. You may get your answer when you least expect it while you are in an altered state.
Once you feel that you have experienced the connection with your spirit guide or high-minded spirit long enough, take in another deep breath and thank these beings of love and light for coming to you. Feel gratitude and love knowing that they have connected with you. Then imagine them leaving the room, but know that they can always come back to visit and communicate with you whenever you wish.
From this point, just return to normal breathing and extinguish the candles. Let yourself return to your normal life and go about your business.
Each time you attempt this exercise, you will notice more love and energy surrounding you and filling the room. You will start to experience more pleasant sensations on your head and face. This will help you to become more peaceful and awaken more of your spiritual gifts.
Angels and spirit guides are the bearers of love, light, comfort, and reassurance for many. Without these beings of love and light, our world would be a sad place of mere existence; no one would truly “live.”
