Step
Method 1 of 4: Understanding Guardian Angel
Step 1. Read more about the guardian angel to strengthen your relationship with him
There is a lot of information that you can get through the internet and books. Although many religions believe in guardian angels, each has a different opinion.
- Although many people believe that angels are creatures different from humans, there are also those who believe that humans will become angels after death.
- Catholicism believes that everyone is always accompanied by a guardian angel.
- Islam holds that every believer has two guardian angels, one in front and one behind.
- In Judaism, there are conflicting views about guardian angels. Some experts argue that humans do not have guardian angels, but God will send one or more angels when someone needs them. There are also those who believe that at the mitzvah ceremony, one will establish friendship with an angel. There are also people who say that an angel named Lailah will accompany a person from conception until he dies.
Step 2. Talk to your parents
If you are very young and unsure what religion your family adheres to, try asking your parents. Ask what their beliefs are. Also tell them that you want to communicate with your guardian angel and make sure they agree on what you are going to do.
Step 3. Consult with religious leaders
Ask your parents to help you meet with local religious leaders so they can ask about guardian angels. You can go alone when you're big enough. If you don't have a fixed place of prayer, try contacting a place of worship that interests you. Usually people will be happy to teach their beliefs to others if asked, even if yours is different.
Method 2 of 4: Preparing to Communicate with the Guardian Angel
Step 1. Get to know your guardian angel
Before trying to communicate with a guardian angel, make sure you know who he is and what his special powers are. If you are trying to communicate with a particular angel, take the time to learn more about it.
- To recognize your guardian angel, observe the signs. Pay attention to names and symbols that appear frequently. For example, if you see Michael as your name, chances are your guardian angel is Michael.
- You can also choose the angel you want to communicate with based on the association. For example, Raphael is associated with healing and protection for travelers. So, you may need to communicate with him if you have an illness or are planning a trip.
- Some people think that their loved ones who have passed away are their guardian angels. For example, you may think of your close grandparents as guardian angels.
Step 2. Make the altar
An altar may help you communicate with your guardian angel because it creates a special place for spiritual energy. To create an altar, determine a place, such as a bookshelf or table. Place a cloth over it then give it a candle and an object that reminds you of a guardian angel. Some people include photos, food, herbs, crystals, incense, and water as part of the altar.
- Think about objects, colors, numbers, and other things that relate to your guardian angel when deciding on the altarpiece.
- Purchase a special candle for the altar. Only use this candle when you want to communicate with the guardian angel.
- Put a photo of a loved one who has passed away if you think he or she is your guardian angel.
Step 3. Learn specific prayers
Many people use special prayers to communicate with guardian angels. Some guardian angels have special prayers that you can learn and use when communicating with them. If your guardian angel isn't very well known, try writing a special prayer to communicate with him. You can write a prayer following some of the basic structures used in other prayers to guardian angels:
- Summon the guardian angel
- Mention his special strength
- Mention what you need
- Close prayer
Step 4. Set a time to communicate with the guardian angel
To increase your chances of communicating with your guardian angel, you should set a specific time each day to pray and meditate. Practicing every day will increase the chances of your guardian angel communicating with you.
- For example, start and end each day by praying and meditating near the altar for 5 minutes.
- You can also communicate with your guardian angel in times of need. However, also make sure to communicate regularly with him.
Method 3 of 4: Communicating with Guardian Angels in Daily Life
Step 1. Pay attention to what a strong intuition or “conscience” feels like
Many people believe that angels communicate with us primarily in this way. If you have to make a difficult decision and don't have time to meditate, try asking your guardian angel mentally. Perhaps you will get some guidance through the answers that come to your mind.
Step 2. Take notes
Write down what you think is a message from the angel. Take note of the inspirations that arise during meditation. Memories are often confusing and understanding is easily forgotten. The ability to remember clearly will help you control your thoughts.
Step 3. Remember that your guardian angel is always with you
Feeling never alone and always protected is the greatest gift a guardian angel can give you. Use this knowledge to build confidence when you face difficulties.
Try imagining that a guardian angel is standing behind you when you have to do something difficult. Doing this will give you strength as well as remind you that there is a guardian angel watching over you
Method 4 of 4: Meditate to Communicate with the Guardian Angel
Step 1. Prepare the place
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, such as your bedroom. Turn off all electronic equipment that can interfere with your concentration such as TV, cell phones, or computers. Turning off the lights and closing the curtains will also help.
Step 2. Light the candle
Candles are something that can really help you focus your mind during meditation. If you have prepared an altar for your guardian angel, you may place a candle there. However, if you don't have an altar like this, simply light a candle and place it on the table in front of you.
If you don't want to light a candle, a rosary can also help you focus. Also, listening to natural, repetitive sounds like crashing waves or rain can also help
Step 3. Sit comfortably
When meditating, you should be able to sit still for a while. So don't meditate in a place that makes you want to move. It's fine if you want to meditate lying down, as long as you don't fall asleep.
Step 4. Breathe deeply and calm the mind
Close your eyes or stare at the candle flame. Try not to think about anything for a few minutes, not to think about the guardian angel either. Focus on your breath to keep it calm, long, and regular.
If you start thinking about something else, take some time to accept the thought and focus your mind on the breath again
Step 5. Say hello to the guardian angel
Say "hello" in your mind and say thank you for looking after you. Let him know if something is bothering you and ask for his guidance.
If you have studied or prepared a prayer, read it. You can pray silently or out loud
Step 6. Try listening to the answers
There is no definite sign to know the existence of angels. Signs may include a very soft voice, a fleeting image in your mind, a feeling of warmth, or a sensation like someone is with you.
There are those who believe that angels cannot interfere in our lives unless they are asked to. If you're not sure, try asking to let you know that an angel is with you
Step 7. Bring your consciousness back slowly
Say goodbye, then end the meditation with a prayer. If you close your eyes, open them slowly. Change your position and stay seated for a minute or two while reactivate your mind to return to normal activities.
Step 8. Get in the habit of practicing meditation
Meditation requires a skill that is difficult to master. Maybe you didn't meditate well the first time you did it. Try to practice as often as possible for a few minutes each day, if you can.
Remember, it's good to start meditating for just a few minutes a day. For the next you can increase the time slowly after feeling more comfortable
Tips
- Be careful when contacting spiritual beings, such as angels. There are those who think that you can connect with evil spirits who pretend to be angels.
- While there are people who like to give names to angels, there are also those who don't agree with this. Naming may make you feel more comfortable, but it can also convey authority. You cannot control an angel, although he is always ready to help and guide you.
- Don't despair if you can't communicate with your guardian angel yet. Many people cannot speak directly to their guardian angel.
