Just before I met Forrist, through the internet, I had found a book describing how to meet and interact with the Angels. I had read about half of it and was growing impatient with it. I felt like connecting with them just didn't need to be that hard.
I decided that I wanted to "just do it" without all the reading ABOUT doing it. So, I laid down on my bed and pretended that I was just going to float up to "heaven" and talk with the Angels. In a matter of minutes, maybe seconds, I could almost literally feel their wings brushing against me as they circled around me.
I felt so loved, so honored, so at home with them. A part of me knew it was my imagination, and yet another part of me was able to let go of whether or not I was "making it up" or not. I stayed with them for awhile, and just soaked in their Love. I asked if I could come home. They smiled and said "No, not yet." I asked them when I could come home. They smiled some more and said that I could come home when I didn't care about coming home, because then I would have learned how to be Spirit in human form.
 I didn't really like that answer. "Sometimes I get so tired of being in human form, can't I just will myself back with you guys?" I asked. They laughed a little, and said that I could come visit them any time, and that they were always with me even if I couldn't feel them or remember how much they Love me. I agreed, went back down into my body, lying on my bed.
Since then I have learned to use my imagination more and more easily. I've learned that Angels and Guides are as near as our imagination. The more we interact with them, the more they are free to help us.
Awhile later I met Forrist by phone first, then in person. During one of our early conversations he asked, "So, can you see my Guide?"
"Well, I see a guy with his sleeves rolled up, maybe he's your Guide." I ventured.
This guy I had seen in my mind's eye, standing next to Forrist during that phone conversation turned out to be Sam. Now we know that Sam's specialty is matching people, resources and situations. Sam brought Forrist and me together. Now, whenever Forrist and I need to get connected with others, a certain resource or a particular situation, we ask Sam to help find them and get us connected.
I have learned so much since those early days. What I understand today is that there is quite a difference between Angels and Spirit Guides. Angels are pure energy and have not been in human form before. Now I know there are many kinds of Angels, so I'm just talking about your every day Angels that are especially focused on serving us. These Angels are great for creating and orchestrating the "how" of our intentions. Forrist and I especially love to ask our Angels to help with our intentions. I like to imagine them hovering around as I describe my intention and then they fly off to weave the energy to bring my intentions into physical form.
Spirit Guides, in this particular context, have been in physical form at least once. So, if you are wanting help with more mundane issues, such as money, work and housing, ask for a Spirit Guide rather than an Angel. I learned how to do this when Forrist and I were starting to create an income from the work I do. We decided that we needed a particular amount of money per week to make our financial lives work. We got very clear on this amount and the actual work Forrist and I would need to do to bring in that amount, then I used my imagination, connected with Source, and asked for a volunteer Spirit Guide to help us out.
In my inner vision, I saw a woman in her 50's, with a pencil behind her ear, wearing glasses on a chain around her neck. She introduced herself as Grace. I asked her how she wanted to help. She said she has bookkeeping experience, so she understands about money. Grace has been with us several years now. She seems like part of the family.
I believe we can have as many Angels and Spirit Guides as we want to have. It's simply a matter of asking for help and using our connection with Source/God and our imagination to experience/see/hear our Angels and Guides interacting with us. Allow your experience to be different than what you may be expecting. If you can hear your own thoughts, then you can hear your Angels and Guides talking to you.
How do you know if you're making it up or if you are talking with another energy? The bottom line is; if you feel better, happier and uplifted after talking with yourself or Angels or Guides, then keep doing it. If you feel worse; depressed, anxious or angry, then stop talking to yourself or whoever you think is your Angels and Guides. Imagine and "X" over that negative experience, and try again with the stipulation that you only want to interact with beings that are higher than your own vibration. The more you practice, the easier the connection happens.
You deserve to communicate with Angels, they are there to serve you. Serving humans is their honor, and when we invite them to serve us, that is our gift to them. We are not an obligation to them. They want to help. It's just like how we enjoy helping others, we like it when people ask for our help and let us know how to help them. The clearer we can make our requests, the more able they are to support us.
