As contraversal as the topic of angels might be, everyone seems to agree on a few common points. They are divine, they protect us, they inspire us and they are an endless source of love and companionship. And of course, angels are portrayed to have wings. When referencing the Archangels, Gabriel or Michael, the image is one of tall, strong, almost statuesque-like beings with wings as long as their body and with incredible span. Guardian angels are given more delicate features, with smaller, more gentle wings. Even Cupid, or Hermes, had wings to swiftly carry them on their missions. So, do angels really have wings?...Yes and No. Through meditation and hypnotherapy you can deeply relax and enter an altered state of mind. This altered state, or alternative consciousness, feels wonderful. You feel alive, loved, humble at the greatness and vastness, and your body resonates with the energy of this love. The more experienced meditators, psychics and intuits, are able to feel the energy of the higher self, the energy of the soul collective, the energy of the earth. With practice, your body is better able to handle the abundance of energy. For beginner meditators, the initial shock of this powerful energy, especially felt when connecting with spirit guides, angels or spirit healers, is interpreted as the force of wings. With more practice and allowing the energy to flow through you (as opposed to you holding on to the energy) the source of the energy becomes clear. It is the love energy, the oneness, that emits from our spirit world. A closer look at" wings" allows a clear distinction of the aura and of the messages transmitted by the aura. Each energy "wing" is distinct and specific to the individual, thus each message is a reflection of their personality.
When first experiencing this energy, a natural reaction is to hold on to the energy. The source of the energy is limitless so there is no need to absord the impact because it could be overwhelming. The energy must flow through you in order for you to be part of it. If you confront it like a wall, the sensation could be painful. Your body might shake, you could hear your heart pound, your stomach appears to fall into a black hole, and the sound of the force is similar to that of jet engines. I have experienced these sensations and it was very confusing for me. How could such higher power be painful? As I continued meditating and practicing, I expanded my own energetic capacity and became a witness to the love energy, not the target of it. By letting go of my control, I expanded my conciousness and was able to see angels for the beautiful, helpful, divine beings they are. Such amazing beings are super-charged and emit a great source of energy. What once were wings are now love energy with the specific personality of the being. As such, archangels have much energy, concentrated towards the tasks that are entirely theirs, and their "wings" are more stern and impose more authority. Guardian angels, who are more gentle and willing to hold our hands when we are afraid, have softer, cloud-like "wings", indicative of their understanding and their empathy.
Meditation is the easiest and best way to experience the love energy of the universe. It is so abundant and powerful and we all have access to it. Meditation and breathing exercises are also great ways to practice grounding so that your ability to process and handle energies increases.
