How Angels Work

Angels work in subtle and natural ways. They work through our thoughts, dreams, music, art, drama and the written word. They also connect with humans through flowers, sunshine and rain. They plant seeds in the mind, guide protect, comfort, inspire, heal and enlighten. Angels come into dreams and visions. Angels make their presence known through our senses, such as a sudden soft breeze or a scent of flowers. Humans might feel goose bumps or a tingling sensation when angels are near. Angels are literally waiting for you to ask and will not interfere with your life plan. They don’t intervene in our world unless we ask them to.
Sophy Burnham says in her book A Book Of Angels (1990), “Angels come as visions, voices, dreams, coincidences and intuition, the whisper of knowledge at your ear. They come as animals or other people, or as a wash of peace in an ailing heart. Sometimes a stranger may come up and give you just the information or assistance you need. Sometimes you yourself are used as an angel. When we ask our angels we open ourselves to a level of wisdom and understanding that is rarely available to us in ordinary consciousness. The angels come into all of our lives in a variety of ways. Some people meet them directly in person or in visions and dreams. Others have felt their scintillating presence or hear them speaking or singing. Still others have experienced them as muses who inspire them creatively for a moment, either knowingly or not, speaking words you did not know you knew. But sometimes these beings come as angels, in the very form that artists show as beings of light."
