What is a guardian agel and how do you identify it

[majour ka]

I believe every body has gardian Angels.
I have asked to meet my gardian angel in meditation and meet him I did. Identifying a gardian Angel I would say totaly depends on how the communication is made i.e if you visit a medium and your dead grandfather for example may come through and wanted you to know he is acting as your gardian Angel. Some gardian Angels may well be a bieng who has never been an incarnte human bieng, it would depend on you as an individual. Other Angels are also attracted to people who are doing creative things or healing or helping people etc.

I feel very lucky to be able to say I have seen a few Angels, a couple of them have looked no diffrent from a normal person (sorry best way to describe them) but have had wings as you might expect , I presume so I understood that they might be acting as a gurdian Angel as appossed to a guide. I also know that our guides and Angels look out for us, and help us in the most subtle ways with out having to ever directly communicate with them. Dont Know if that helps any? M.Ka

I have actually met mine in real life. I was about  6 years old and lost in a hotel and this "man" helped me to the front desk so i could find my parents. He walked me up and said i was lost. But later on when my parents came the man and woman at the desk said that i wondered up on my own and they assumed i was lost or something. It is totaly bizzare for me to think about. I have never tried to meet him in the astral, i might just try it sometime.

Is there something other than a guardian angel? I remember once, when I was younger, I had awakened in the middle of the night and there was a young girl standing in my room. Later on, when I was telling everybody about it, they were telling me it was a guardian angel. Of course, if it were, then why had I covered my head and become afraid of seeing her?

[holy reality]

aside from the hotel story (which was cool) how do you guys that think you have guides or guardian angels, etc, TELL that they are REAL and not just creations of your minds?

i can ask for a guide and tinkerbell will appear, and i can tell by the nonsense she tells me that she isn't real..

(okay this really happened, she showed me a picture of "Clementine" from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I thought it would be a good idea to try and reinact the movie, only it was rather boring to do)

Yes, they're real allright.

There's been more than enough mediums with spirit sight who have seen them, as well as regular people who have also seen them when required.

Often our own higher spirit self will be regarded as a guardian angel, because if you were to meet your spirit self, there's a good chance you won't recognise it as being you. I refer to my higher self as my "primary guide", and I am able to listen to its voice on occasions when I need confirmation of something with regards to spiritual matters.

Here's an excerpt from the book "Meet and Work with Spirit Guides" by Ted Andrews (more widely known for the book "Animal-Speak" that should shed a bit of light -

"Every child knows of guardian angels, but much about them is misunderstood.  We are all under the watchfulness of the group of angels who assist us while not doing for us.  As we yearn for the greater spirituality and begin to work more consciously for it, we will come under the guardianship of a single angelic being will serve as a teacher and initiator through the ordeals that lead to greater spiritual maturity. In the ancient Hebrew tradition, this guardian angel comes from the group known as the Malachim, angels of healing, light and miracles."

Hope that helps. []

James.

Hi,

Some of my dreams have had spiritual beings in them. I identify them as that because they bring messages to protect a person from harm. The one that I have seen near me(which protects me in the dreams) radiates an intense light. I have seen others which are "light beings" in my dreams, but not like this. The interesting thing is that mine radiates the colour red? I don't know what it means. It's very gentle with me (warm), but extremely protective in the dreams.

In the dreams I know what it is (red one), but I can't see it (most times). It's just a familiar presence.

[Parabola]

Is the dead are our "guardian angels" and they are roaming earth, then why do they care for us to live? Not in an evil way but give this a thought. The dead are not suffering and if they are able to live after death why would they want us to live? Life is nothing but a temporary journey until eternaty. If I was dead and found the bliss of an afterlife, I would try to offer and help the living die so they can share my bliss. Not prolong a pointless life.

If we are here, alive, than there is a point in that!

I am confused as to the difference of "guardian angel" and "spirit guide".  Could someone elaborate?  thanks.

I found this for you - hope it is of some use:

"If you want a clear and concise message from your angel," Graham says, "you must ask a direct question. Your angel will always answer your questions. You must ask your question out loud. Clear, concise questions will get you clear, concise answers. Answers will always be tangible and explicit, something you can put your hands on. The answers I've gotten I could pick up and examine. Asking a frivolous question will get you a silly answer. The universe will match your level of sincerity."

Angels are always willing to help us, according to Doreen Virtue in her article "Calling All Angels" on beliefnet, but we have to be willing to accept the assistance since we have free will. "To ask for angelic assistance, you needn't conduct a formal invocation ceremony," Virtue says. The methods she suggests are likely to be much more familiar and comfortable to most people, including:

writing a letter to your guardian angel - spelling out your problem and your need
visualizing - "see" protective angels around you in your mind's eye
call them mentally - think your plea to the angels
speak aloud - state your case verbally
"Connect with Your Angel" suggests yet another method: meditation. "Make yourself comfortable, sitting or lying down. Be aware of your breathing... Let your body become limp and relaxed. Empty your mind; create space, just as though the whole of the universe was there, inside you. Now just be. No doing. Only being. Communicate to your angel that you wish to connect with her/him. Wait in peace. Be aware of what happens. It may not seem much at first. Be patient. Subtle changes will occur. You may see light, colors or form. You may be aware of a presence. You may feel tingling sensations. You may feel emotion. You will feel love."

Anyone know. Do you have a guardian angel.
