Introduction

A ngels are all around us. Their population greatly exceeds our own, and you have at least one with you right this momentno exceptions. In fact, its very likely that an angel guided you to this book, so you could learn more about the plethora of spiritual beings among us and allow them to work with you on a regular basis.

Im not just whistling Dixie; I know from personal experience that angels, guardians, and guidesin whatever guise they present themselvesare real. Although Im not a professional psychic or medium, I have received confirmations from professionals and other psychically attuned individuals more times than I can count. Im just an average person, but my open mind and heart have paved the way for angelic communication. Everyone is capable of the same.

When I was sixteen, I experienced something incredible, but the circumstances surrounding it were as commonplace as could be. One of my teachers had given me permission to leave her classroom, so I crossed a deserted hallway and headed upstairs. Near the top of the stairs, my foot missed a step and I started to fall backwards.

A sudden force on my back shoved me into a vertical position. I gasped, and once I regained my step, turned to see whod saved me.

I was alone on the stairway.

A decade later, I was rushing home from work, and the sidewalk was slick with melting snow. The cumbersome bags in my hands consumed my attention, so I failed to spot a patch of ice. My heel slid and I started to fall backwards. Across the street, a fellow pedestrian screamed. She and I both knew the angle between my back and the pavement spelled disaster.

In a flash, I was lifted and righted in mid-air, then placed back onto the sidewalk. I froze, stunned by the miracle. Then I locked eyes with the woman across the street. She was gaping at me, for shed had a better view of what happened. Id only felt it.

I gave her an awkward smile. She sighed and lowered the hand shed flung to her chest.

Thank God! she exclaimed.

My thoughts exactly.

I believe angels saved me in both instances.

Years later, my husband and I welcomed identical twin boys into our family. They displayed psychic awareness from the get-go and often spoke of angels and other spirits they spotted around the house, in the yard, in the car, at amusement parks, and even at the grocery store.

Like most children, they had more than one dance with danger. Parents know what Im talking about: those horrific, heart-stopping moments whendespite your best effortsyour children tumble down stairs, slam their heads against the pavement, or sink to the bottom of a pool during their first, supposedly supervised swimming lesson. After a number of these experiences, my children described the flying beings of light who instantly appeared to save them.

Onlookers and an emergency room doctor dubbed one such episode a miracle. Just before it occurred, a premonition of danger seized me, and I asked angels to surround my boys with a cushion of love that would protect them. After the drama, I had one burning question: did the angels intervene because I called them or were they just manning their posts?

Maybe youve had similar questions, sparked by natural curiosity or key moments that made you do a double take: a gut instinct proven correct, a strange calm that enfolded you during a crisis, one coincidence too many, or a suspicion that you werent alone, even though you were the only one in the room! Such encounters make us contemplate the nature of the spirit world and how it works.

Guidance, protection, and inspiration are literal godsends, and who among us would refuse them? Life is tough enough without ignoring the divine network that shimmers within and around us. Socrates, Jesus, Muhammad, George Frideric Handel, George Washington, William Blake, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nikola Tesla, Ernest Shackleton, Carl Jung, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Lindbergh had some of the better known experiences, but supernatural support exists for all of us.

Opinions differbased on cultural or religious beliefs, research, intuition, and/or personal experiencebut no one holds a monopoly on the truth. Theres always more to learn, and we should be curious! As the French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once said, We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

The least we can do is look into the matter. The best we can do is keep an open mind, erase some of the question marks, and develop a working relationship with those benevolent beings known as angels, guardians, and guides.
