1 Trusting the Signs of an Angel

Angels want to talk to you in your everyday world to help and guide you along your true path, and they often do this through angelic signs and symbols.

When you see a feather on the pavement on its own, rather than in a park, or perhaps a tiny butterfly winging its way past your tenth-floor office window, or a cloud formation that seems meaningful (see Tip 41), your angels are connecting with you. You might get a tingling sensation on one side, sometimes just on the scalp or hand, or over your whole body. Those who are guided by angels describe this as a buildup of excitement, the feeling that something intense is about to happen. You may feel a strong certainty about a decision you need to make, or the urge to make a call to someone for no logical reason. These experiences, and many more like them, mean that your angels are guiding you to follow your feelings, rather than what you think you should be doing. Decisions you make according to your heart will take you on the next step of your journey. As messengers of Spirit, God, the Source, the universe, the “All That Is”—angels connect you with your soul purpose.

Winged creatures are often a sign of spirit and your angels drawing closer to you. Not every bird or butterfly is an angelic sign; only the ones you really notice. Your noticing means that you are attuning to angelic energies, and once you notice one angel sign, it feels easy and natural to notice more. However, if you think too much about seeing angels and consciously look for signs, you may temporarily lose your link with your angels because your thoughts are overtaking your feelings and senses. Trust that when angels are ready to communicate with you, you will naturally notice their signs without having to try too hard. You don’t need to take responsibility; your angels will get their message through.

THE SIGNS OF ANGELS

* Sensation: Tingling on your skin, or the sensation of cobwebs in your hair

* Thought communication: People around you saying the word “angel/s,” or seeing it on social media

* Noticing the word “angel” in book titles and other media

* Seeing feathers where you wouldn’t expect them

* Repeating numbers or number patterns, and the number 44 (see Tip 2)

* Seeing “flash” images that don’t feel part of you (see How Do You See an Angel?, Tip 3)

* Finding pennies in the street

* A high-pitched buzzing in your ears before you go to bed or when you wake up in the morning. This is also associated with a rise in consciousness. If you find it too loud, ask your guardian angel (see page 13) to turn down the volume!

* Getting messages from Earth Angels (see Tip 23).

As you practice working with your angels, you will get to know their signs as ways to communicate with you.
