Belief in angels can be inspired or enhanced by time spent in sacred spaces. Such areas do not have to conform to constructions for ritualistic purposes, but rather they can be places where holy beings of spiritual realms are always welcomed. Constantine the Great (306-377 a.d.), the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire, declared that angels have wings. Subsequently, during and after his reign, angel imagery included winged angels in churches, cemeteries, and other sacred places. If you want to welcome angels into your home, garden, or workplace, angel imagery with or without wings can serve your purpose. Hang posters, framed art or calendars, or add angel statuary in a designated place. For example, allocate an area or room in your home, a corner of your cubicle or office, or a protected area of the garden where you can sit undisturbed to reflect and pray. If you prefer beckoning angels while in nature, choose a familiar gulley or a field, a favorite sitting area under a tree, or bank of a lake, river, or pond. Maybe you enjoy sitting amid sand dunes where you can watch blades of grass waving in the sea breeze. Or perhaps you prefer a special rock in a canyon, in the desert, or on a hillside. The point is to find a place that you feel safe, protected, sheltered, and comfortable. That place becomes holy by your presence, thoughts, affirmations, supplications, and prayers. Angel images inspire you to beckon the angels. When they come, welcome them with an open mind, a loving heart, and respect and gratitude for all they do.
Here are some suggestions for creating your sacred space:
• Play peaceful music.
• Display pictures of your favorite religious deities.
• Display pictures of your loved ones, living or deceased.
• Light candles to create the right energy.
• Arrange crystals or rocks collected from meaning places.
• Arrange pictures or statues of angels.
• Find a special journal in which to write.
• Put down a fountain with the soothing sound of water.
• Turn the ringer on your phone off.
After your sacred space is created, set your intention that this is your special place to come, where you can let go, pray, and be open to the gifts and miracles of angels. Each and every time you enter your space, invite the angels to gather and ask them to surround you in their loving light and protection. Ask them to fill your space with the highest vibration of divine white light and energy, and know that with every breath that you take you will become one with this sacred healing light.
Start your day by entering your sacred space, and ask the angels to fill your day with blessings. During the day, ask them to show you what you need to know. Enter the sacred space at night, and release fears and worries to the angels. Offer thanks, gratitude, and appreciation to the angels.
