Angels love nature, and they love you being in nature. They can “talk” to us in cloud formations—this way they can show themselves to lots of us at the same time.
A stunning pink Cloud Angel was seen over South Florida on March 13, 2013, the day the Vatican named Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Francis I, the new Pope. A luminous figure with wings outstretched in a V shape appeared over Royal Palm Beach. Many witnesses took photographs of the angel, which had a halo and a bright channel of yellow-white light running down the center of its body. Many people who saw this Cloud Angel believed that the angels were celebrating the appointment of Pope Francis.
CONTEMPLATE ON A CLOUD
You might have a favorite place outdoors where you go to think and be with yourself: a riverside walk, a seat in your garden, or even a chair by a window from which you can gaze at the trees and the sky.
* Sit comfortably, and follow the grounding, protecting, and opening-up ritual (see pages 9–10).
* Close your eyes and begin to sense your angels’ presence; are gently enfolding you with their wings. Really feel this with all your senses. Let your breathing relax; let your body stay relaxed as you feel your feet firmly grounded on the earth or floor.
Open your eyes gently, and gaze at the sky. Ask your angels to show you a sign. What do you see? Go beyond your vision and sense the cloud shapes and patterns, as if you can feel their texture. You might sense the shape of a feather or the wing of an angel. Perhaps there’s a faint outline of a number (four means angels—see Tip 2). Maybe a feather shape drifts over the heavens.
THE ANGEL CLOUD IN ARIZONA
Tom Lumbrazo began seeing signs of angels several years after he nearly died in a car crash, but was saved by a voice telling him to slow down 30 seconds before the impact. After that time, Tom began to sense the signs of angels around him. One unforgettable morning, he had his first vision of an angel, which was shown to him again in the clouds as confirmation. He says: “I was in awe and excitement as I just could not believe what I saw. It was clearly an angel with a human face and body with huge wings that stretched over his head and down to nearly the ground. It was so detailed I could see each feather with the quality of an HD television picture. This angel appeared in two poses—one standing up with a sideways stance, and the other on a horse, with him turning his head to look at me. I knew he wanted me to see him and to know that he was with me—but still I could not appreciate that this was a real angel.
“After that vision, I could not get those two images out of my head. The next day I felt called to go to Borders Books. I went to the metaphysical section and immediately saw a book on angels. I picked it up and turned to a page at random—and a chapter on Archangel Michael. The image of Michael in the book, showing him on his horse, was nearly exactly what I had seen in my vision. So at that moment, I knew I really did see an angel and specifically which one—Archangel Michael.
“This vision was proven a reality in May 2008 in a cloud my wife, Carol, and I saw in Sedona, Arizona. As we were walking an outdoor labyrinth at a church there, the clouds began to form over our heads, and as we finished walking the labyrinth, we looked up and there was the angel cloud: clearly, Archangel Michael on his horse. I immediately took several pictures of it, and one later became the cover photo for our first book, Journey to the Clouds.* Since that time, Archangel Michael has become woven into my everyday life; I receive messages from him on a daily basis. Now I know that he is always with me to assist me with my life and to guide me.” (* See page 144 for Tom’s website, where you can see the picture.)
