Before addressing the ideas you might pick up as part of divine guidance, it might be helpful to think about the differences between spirituality and religion (as they relate to interpreting divine guidance). Religion offers a specific set of beliefs and rules for people to follow and be inspired by. Spirituality is more about your own personal relationship with the divine. Religious dogma might dictate an avoidance of all things psychic or paranormal. Certain spiritual practices will incorporate a suspension of disbelief about the celestial world and contact between beings of that world and the human species. Religion and spirituality can merge or diverge; neither is right or wrong, good, or bad. There are many pathways that will lead you back home to God, where you can feel a deeper connection with the divine.
Begin noticing the details of your environment, especially in your physical sacred space where you have invited angel contact, but also at work or when you are spending time in your home, in your yard or garden, at the homes of friends, at church, at school, or elsewhere. And just as you notice the minutiae of your outer world, increase your powers of observation of the inner world; notice such details as the subtle sounds you hear, hot and cold sensations or points of pressure along your spine where the energy vortexes are found in the ethereal body, any unusual tightness in your throat or heat at the throat chakra, colored or clear light before your inner vision, and so forth. Here are some other possible intuitive, or psychic, impressions or details you might receive as divine guidance:
• The angels might show you a past memory from childhood as an answer to a prayer.
• You might hear the angels giving you directions while you drive to avoid an accident ahead. For example, “slow down,” or “move over to the right.”
• You might get a sick feeling in your stomach when you meet a new business associate, a sign that aligning in some way with that person might not be healthy for you or the business.
• You might see your future home or future soul mate in detail during your meditation.
• You might have a dream about a past life that is giving you insight into a present situation.
• You might get a feeling that someone is going to pass into heaven very soon, or perhaps you will have a dream with many symbols such as a coffin, graveyard, headstone, and the like that suggest death (although such symbols might also mean death of an old way of seeing something).
If you begin to receive these intuitive or psychic impressions and you feel nervous about getting this information, ask your angels to comfort you. They will reassure you that everything is okay. You would not be receiving this information if it wasn’t meant to be. If you are unsure about the information, ask the angels to give you confirmation that this information is coming from a divine source. They will do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable and safe.
