How to Connect with & Recognize Your Angels

When I was a child, my Mom told me everyone has a guardian angel. This angel watches over and protects you. I also learned through church that their were angels mentioned in the bible. Even though I had this cognitive knowledge, I didn’t feel angels in my life until I was older. I learned once I was aware and open, I could connect with my angels at any time and any place.

Tips for Connecting with your angels

Here I have listed some general ways to connect with your angels that have worked for me. You may already be doing some of these or perhaps using other ways to connect. Share your methods in the comments down below after you finish reading the blog to help others connect.


Be open- Remember to ask for help. We all have free will. Your angels cannot step in, unless you are willing or specifically ask for their help. 

Trust- Believe and know you are worthy of receiving angelic help. If you don’t feel worthy, act as if you are. In fact, expect help because you are a Divine child of God.    

Express gratitude- Thank the angels for their connection. You can phrase an affirmation: Angels, Thank you for your presence in my life.

Create some positive energy- Positive energy will increase your frequency and help you connect. 

Create a scared space or time. Make sure you are in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Shut off your phone and any other electronics. Light a candle and play soft music. 

Practice a meditation or visualization. Center yourself through your breath and slow your mind down, in order to receive angelic messages.

Pick some angel cards. I often pick angel cards for myself and my clients during spiritual coaching sessions.

Writing. Connect with the angels through writing. You can start by writing out an intention and write down any and all impressions you receive.  Ask the angels a question and allow them to direct your writing instrument.

Prayer. Prayer can be a wonderful way to connect with the angels. Pray to God or address a specific angel with your request. 

How Do I Know It’s an Angel? Recognizing the Signs

Angels attempt to connect with us in a variety of ways. It is often ourselves who are blocked or resistant to the communication, either consciously or subconsciously. Once you learn to be open and receive their communications, you won’t doubt anymore.

You will come to learn each angel has a unique sign to connect with you. In general, these are some tell tale signs of connection after you ask for help. This week notice, write down or record all the signs and synchronicities you receive.
Trust your intuition knows. If you feel or know it is an angel, it most likely is.

Here are some ways angels reach out to contact you.

You receive an idea or inspiration 

Repeating numbers 1:11, 12:34, 3:33, etc.  

Finding feathers 

The message is direct or lighthearted and full of love 

You receive a peaceful feeling  

You hear a word or sentence 

You hear a song with a specific message to you or you hear songs about angels. There are an endless list of songs about angels. Some songs are Send me an Angel, Calling All Angels, She Talks To Angels, etc. (Helpful Tip: You may want to listen to your favorite “angel” song to increase your frequency and chances of connection)  

You see an actual angel   

Some angels have a scent associated to them. You may smell a specific scent after your request for help. 

You have a dream of an angel 

You suddenly meet or see the name of an angel, such as a person named Michael offers you help, after you ask Archangel Michael for assistance.

These are a few of the many ways, angels let us know we are not alone, always cared for and protected. Keep an open mind and an open heart.

When an Empath is Lied To

Some lies alter relationships forever. This can result in the connection ending but for some they chose to rebuild a new foundation of trust. Each situation is unique and depends upon the personal history of both parties involved.


Are Empaths Human Lie Detectors?

Empaths highly value the truth. This does not mean an empath would never lie. However, when sensitive people do not tell the truth, they feel out of integrity and balance, an experience they need to rectify immediately. Overall, empaths resonate with truth telling and those who are similar to them. In fact, they will risk telling the truth, even when it brings them controversy and conflict. I see many whistleblowers as empaths.

Many articles online claim empaths are natural lie detectors. It is true, many empaths can sense when something is off or know when they are being lied to. I don’t feel comfortable using this as an absolute. Claiming this can set up sensitive people to feel shamed when they are betrayed by a lie. We all have blind spots, sometimes you will be lied to and not see it coming. These are most likely your closest relationships or someone you have a karmic connection to.

Please do not question your sense of identity because someone presents a false story. People lie when it covers their self interest. It is easier for them to fabricate “a truth” to suit their needs than have the courage to face reality. Sometimes you will get caught in the aftermath. Even though you may feel foolish, it is their behavior that is foolish. Don’t take on their emotions or responsibility.

Betrayal as a Gift

This past year, I had a couple of instances where people I once trusted, lied to me. In both instances, I felt betrayed and angry. I did confront both parties with what was said and what they did. Despite the truth being told, both parties minimized it. These are not bad people and they did not lie to hurt me but more to avoid uncomfortable feelings within themselves. It was their lack of responsibility that was the factor for me to change how I associated with them.

Emotionally, a betrayal hurts but spiritually it is a call for ourselves to reclaim our power in some area of our lives. There are lessons here, if you are willing to learn. For me, it was a confirmation to trust my inner voice, no matter what other’s say. It is also a reminder of how strong I am as a person. Despite what others do and say, I am still here and I am still going to be who I came here to be.

Rebuilding Trust

Whether you continue the relationship with another or break off the connection, your sense of trust needs to be rebuilt. Trust takes time, make sure you give yourself patience. I can’t tell you if it will take three months, six months or a even a year to heal you. It depends upon the lie that was told, the amount of work you and/or the other person do, and even your past experiences.

If you are moving forward on your own or in a relationship, communication with yourself needs to be restored. Listen to your inner voice, journal, sit with yourself, meditate or pray. You need to process, go within and seek guidance.

To heal yourself, spend time in nature. Nature does not lie. Your soul can be soothed by the natural rhythms and truths found here.

If you are in a relationship, communication is key. You need to talk about your feelings and what happened. You may want to seek out couples or individual therapy to learn better ways to communicate.

Time will tell, along with people’s actions. Do people do what they say? Maybe this person is a compulsive liar. In this instance, trust can never be rebuilt, unless the other party does some serious work on themselves.

How do you cope with lying behavior?

Be Aware of Other’s Arrogance- Leo Full Moon

Empathic helpers often have difficulty communicating their needs and wants. With great sensitivity comes a tendency to become triggered by lower vibrational energies, such as other’s arrogance.

Today, I am writing and including a video reading about the Full Moon Leo, which starts February 5th.

Listen deep within during this time.

Leo Full Moon

Leo is the sign of the lion. It is known for ambition, determination, taking center stage, and the heart. Since the full moon can accentuate emotions, now is the time to watch your ego. Don’t go over the top or let pride get in the way, especially around people who act arrogant. Your buttons may get pushed by them. Work your creativity this moon cycle, channel any anger or fear into your art. You will not only heal yourself but maybe someone else. Surrender pride to the divine, remember we are not in control much of the time. You can control your behaviors.

During this moon, meditate to soothe your emotions. Meditate every day, especially around the moon to ease tension and stress. Write down your impressions.

How Archangels Help Empaths Protect and Utilize Their Sensitivity

Most empaths and empathic people feel spirits and angels around them. This is because sensitive people have the ability to sense unseen supports and positive energy. As a highly charged energetic being, you can express a deep creativity and appreciation of beauty. This gift also puts you at risk for fatigue, anxiety and depression. Luckily, you can become empowered with the Archangels, who help guide, support, heal and protect you and your energy.

What is The Difference between Angels and Archangels?

Let’s start with some definitions. Both Angels and Archangels have a strong vibrational energy and work for the Divine to help humans navigate through Earthly life. Angels work more on an individual basis, such as your guardian angel. Archangels, being closer to God, have stronger powers than angels because their consciousness vibrates at a higher level. This allows them to work with groups of people, such as empathic helpers and artists, at the same time.

We all know the world needs empathic helpers and artists to hold the space for themselves and others. Each time a sensitive person heals and shines their light, they become an example for others to do the same. The Archangels want to help people with sensitivities succeed because this is what will heal humanity and Mother Earth.

The Help Archangels Offer

Guidance- Archangels want you to find your life’s path and purpose. Anytime you feel lost, uncertain or insecure, call upon the Archangels. You were designed by the Divine to vibrate your unique frequency in this time and space.

Archangels often will offer their guidance through messages, signs and symbols. Each archangel has its own unique signature. A few of the many ways Archangels guide you is through a special song, numerical signs and a variety of synchronicities. Archangels are not limited in their communications, however at times you may become blocked to receiving. The good news is you can learn how to receive their messages more clearly and consistently.

Support- Archangels support the sensitive, when you ask. You can learn a variety of ways to tune in, ask for and receive the support you deserve. You can feel their support through a feeling of peace, joy, a warmth or even a new person or information enters your life, at the right time. Archangels want you to know you are never alone and they have your back.

Healing- Archangels love to heal. They restore health by clearing and rejuvenating your energy. Some people have even experienced miracles when working with the angels. When you receive a healing from the Archangels, you could feel a lightness, a warmth or relief from symptoms.

Protection- Archangels know how important it is to protect your energies and give you a sense of safety. Their protection comes to you in many forms. You may feel a strong intuition to not be around other people or in certain places. Sometimes your prayers are not answered because you are being protected from an aspect that you cannot see yet. You may hear a loud voice warning you to stay away.

No matter what type of help you receive from the Archangels, you will feel better.

I am excited to share this announcement. I am hosting my emailed 7 week course, Archangels for Energy Protection, Rejuvenation & Creative Inspiration starting this February. If you want to get more specific on which Archangels can help you protect your sensitivity, open up your creativity, and receive the guidance you need, you will want to take this class.

Give Yourself Permission to Rest During the Holidays

The holiday season is a complex time, emotionally, physically and mentally. Compassionate people often take on more responsibility than they should, leaving them feeling pressured and exhausted.

Feeling types want to create a comfortable experience for everyone. This thought can lead you to hold unrealistic expectations. For the only person you can make happy is you. There are many reasons why some people, no matter how hard you try will not be satisfied with what you do, give or make. This is the reason why we need to learn how to let go of other’s critical voices. Sometimes that critical voice is your own! Remember, when there is an increase in stress, old family dynamics come into play.

Others can’t wait for this time of year to be over because it reminds them of psychological pain, loss and sadness. Our society doesn’t make room for grief during the holiday season. Where ever you find yourself on the spectrum or perhaps in both worlds, it is important to honor yourself and make time to rest.

Many helpers feel resting is wasted time because you aren’t accomplishing a task or goal. I have wrestled with this myself. To do something feels as if you are valuable and worthy. Yet, you don’t have to do or say anything to be valuable and worthy because you already are!

Rest is essential for the health of your body, mind and spirit. Each instance you get still, it allows your brain time to process, your heart space to feel, your spirit connects to the Divine and your physical body has time to breathe.

Rest-defined

First let’s look at what rest really means. These definitions are from Merriam Webster 2022-

REPOSE, SLEEP

specifically : a bodily state characterized by minimal functional and metabolic activities

freedom from activity or labor

a state of motionlessness or inactivity

peace of mind or spirit

How to rest

When you think of restful activities imagine acts that slow down your nervous system, in order to restore body, mind and spirit. Do gentle activities you enjoy. Less simulation is best, but I do understand those with very active minds sometimes need something to focus on. I have combined a list of ideas below:

Sit or lay and that is it!

Listen to a meditation

Listen to music (without words)

Sit and watch nature

Do a five to ten minute, easy walk

Take some slow deep breaths

Focus on your five senses in this moment

Doodle or scribble

Take a bath

Can you trust your instincts, gut knowingness and intuition?

Many in the spiritual community, including myself, encourage others to trust their instincts, gut knowingness, or intuition. Even though these terms are often talked about, some people don’t know what each term means. First, let’s start with some definitions.

Instinct is a survival mechanism built into every human and animal being. It is an impulse that senses, often without reason, that something is wrong and propels you to fight, flight or freeze. This is associated with your first chakra.

Gut knowingness is a feeling in your gut. Did you know you have a second brain? There are brain cells in our digestive system, just like our brain. It makes sense when someone says the expression, go with your gut. Tune into your digestive system, what is it telling you about a person, place or thing? This is associated with your second and third chakra.

Intuition is a sixth sense. A knowingness but on a spiritual level rather than a physical gut knowingness level or rational mental level. This is associated with your sixth chakra.

What throws off people, especially those who rely more on thinking than feeling, is that all of this is not based on facts or anything tangible you can prove. Yet, there are many instances of people who say they listened and followed this guidance. It even saved their life!

When does following a sensation get you in trouble?

If you are in a habit of ignoring your instinct, knowingness or intuition, you will no longer trust it. This isn’t something you can turn on and off at will. These skills require practice, an openness and willingness to listen. If you decide, I am all of a sudden going to trust this sensation out of no where, you may not recognize it and mistake it for a thought or feeling.

If you are a person who is not connected to your feelings or numbed out, you will have difficulty connecting. In this instance, you would need to start with connecting to your feelings and body, trusting in those first.

Some people use the terms of instincts, gut knowingness and intuition but really are only projecting their unconscious biases onto others. It is not okay to discriminate against others based on racism, sexism, ageism, etc., and tell others you got a bad feeling about them.

Can you trust your instincts, gut knowingness and intuition?

To answer this question, which is also the title of this blog, is up to each individual. I would tell you the more healthy and balanced you are, yes, you can trust your instincts, gut knowingness and intuition. Does this mean you won’t ever make a mistake? No. You might trust an unconscious feeling or thought or you might ignore an important signal to keep you safe. The bottom line is, you can work on becoming more healthy and balanced every day, which includes trusting in these sensations.

How to Create Stability- Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus

Empathic helpers often have difficulty separating their energy from others. With great sensitivity can come a tendency to become stuck or frozen in place. This can cause you to not move towards your goals or get caught up in other people’s emotions. Today, I am writing and including a video reading about the Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus, which starts November 8th.

The Taurus Full Moon Eclipse

The Full Moon

The full moon is a time to surrender and release. Let go of whatever you no longer need, outdated fears, limitation, clutter, etc. forgive, release negative energies. Great time to smudge or have an energy session.

Taurus is the sign of the bull. It is known for being independent, dependable, hardworking and dedicated. This is the energy we want to work with. Watch for any stubbornness or getting fixated/stuck. Be flexible and practice the pause, especially if you feel triggered by what others say or do.  Value yourself during this moon.

The Eclipse

We not only have a full moon but also a lunar eclipse. Eclipses come in pairs. Below is video 2 of 2 with tips for creating stability during these unsettling energies. The last video was about the solar eclipse in Scorpio. There is an increase in drama and intensity around eclipse energy. You may not understand the full story of what is happening or happened until after both eclipses. This is a good time to journal about your life and then go back and read it in a couple of weeks after this full moon

Eclipses are karmic, fated energies that feel out of our control. Events can feel out of your hands. Work within the darkness of yourself and others. The full moon eclipse is about sudden endings or conclusions. Let go and go with the flow. If you are letting go of someone or something, know it is the right time, even though it may be very difficult for you. No matter what you will experience a change. How you view that change is up to you and how you think about that change.

Listen deep within during this time.

Let’s pick some cards to see what we need to focus on during this full moon Taurus eclipse.   This reading resonate with you b-day in Taurus or Scorpio, moon sign or rising sign. All empaths, no matter what your astrological sign because you are sensitive to energies.
