If you do what would you say is a sign any angels are near?

No, I don't believe angel. Do you?

Cherrytree59 our loved ones in the spirit world can also use fragrance as a calling card so it depends on whether you the fragrance that you smelled was one that you identified with your mum or grandmother such as their favourite flower or perfume. If it reminded you of neither and it was a very strong beautiful smell that seemed to disappear as soon as you smelt it, then in my opinion you probably had an angel looking after you on your journey and they were trying to gain your attention. From my own experience when an angel tries to connect with you in this way, its because they can see some form of obstacle or danger someway ahead and they are trying to get you to slow down or stop or simply think more clearly about the actions that you are taking at that time. MiniMouse the illustrations are beautiful, thank you for sharing the link.

I was introduced to Sulamith Wulfing a few years ago, her angel and mystical illustrations are beautiful. This link looks huge and looks like more than one, but it's all one:

Last may I was traveling with my DH to a family wedding in Lanarkshire.
I think we were just before Lesmahagow when my husband said
'Oh dear I think we are going to have to stop your perfume must have leaked'.
As he spoke there was the Strongest smell of a lovely perfume through out the car.
I knew it wasn't my perfume as I had packed my best channel No5 and it was in the case in the boot!
It was a lovely floral aroma that eventually drifted away.
We looked around to see if there was some sort (scent) factory. But just miles of fields
An angel??
My grandmother or mum giving her approval??

Agree Angelwispa

Angelwispa Wed 08-Jun-16 15:32:03

yes I believe in Angels and they can often use calling cards such as feathers or small coins found in unusual places, they often use a beautiful fragrance too. They can appear as small or large orbs of bright silver white light or golden light. They can appear in dreams, meditations, or seem to appear as a physical being, with or without wings. They can often give us messages in dreams, meditations or even as a very audible voice and they also use our 'gut instinct' as a 'direct line' of contact in order to get their messages across quickly especially if it's to warn of an impending emergency. They have given me warnings in 'direct voice' communication which helped me and my family to avoid a serious accident. I can understand why some people may find all of this difficult to believe, because I think until you experience it for yourself, it does sound pretty unbelievable, but if you open up your mind and awareness I believe that it (angel communication) can happen and does happen, probably more often than most people realise.

Ziggy I think most of us who believe have had people who don't agree but it don't bother any of us when our belief is strong enough.

Ziggy62 Wed 08-Jun-16 13:31:40

I believe in angels, signs I notice alot are feathers but also if i'm feeling stressed or have a problem a song will come on the radio or in a store etc which relates to a loved one I have lost. I truly believe in a spirit world. Understandably many wont agree but that doesnt bother me

BBbevan I know my Grandma is always on my left shoulder when I'm driving she is keeping me safe.

BBbevan Tue 07-Jun-16 09:14:42

Well I don't know about Angels, but I would like to. I always think my Grandma is near though.

I've got all the Betty Shine books!

Falconbird Mon 06-Jun-16 18:51:22

practical - smile blue is for healing I think.

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 17:55:24

Disgrun Betty Shine was a healer and her clients used to see lights around themselves and many said there was blue haze in the room

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 17:53:19

Falconb I had aura photo just after me mum died and I had blue all around.
My children buy me angels and angel books.

Disgruntled Mon 06-Jun-16 16:06:47

I think I started a Betty Shine book, years and years ago. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Falconbird Mon 06-Jun-16 15:09:24

I'm a Reiki Healer Level 1 but I don't practice now because life has dealt me a few blows and my energy levels are low.

I was raised RC and there was a lot of talk about angels which was lovely. I've never seen one but I have sensed warm presences at times of stress and the feeling of being borne up if you know what I mean.

Years ago I had my aura photographed and it was purple with about seven white shapes above my head!!!!!

I am a bit sceptical by nature and my dh always said such things were tricks of the mind or the light.

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 14:57:46

Disgruntled forgot to ask have you read any of Betty Shines books?

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 14:56:23

Falconbird Believe it's much more fun than being sensible and level headed smile

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 14:54:03

Disgruntled
I went to see an homeopathic practitioner about migraine and she said will do some healing she was wonderful while she held her hand above my face I could see my 3rd eye to the left and seemed sticky. I did fall off a ladder when I was 11 and I think this was showing me why I couldn't progress as much as I'd like. She moved house, I wished she hadn't because I think I could have made progress there.

Disgruntled Mon 06-Jun-16 14:12:05

Oh, thanks, Practical. What a shame about the Reiki Master. I love it and find it fascinating. I've just treated someone who said she saw golden orbs on either side of her, a purple light going to her forehead, green lights rippling from side to side of her body - and this was her first session.

Falconbird Mon 06-Jun-16 13:43:19

I would like to be sensible and level headed and say no - but I think I do believe in angels. smile

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 13:03:00

marmar01 I find feathers where I don't expect to and usually when needed

practical Mon 06-Jun-16 13:01:33

Disgruntled don't be wary about posting things
luckily this thread is mostly peaceful. I have done Reiki one but the Reiki Master wasn't very nice so I didn't go for 2 and 3.
I am envious about the angel I wish I could see one.

Amira15 Mon 06-Jun-16 10:35:35

I'm not a religious person but I do believe in angels !
