Welcome to Healing From Within with your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit which share stories of spiritual awakening spiritual communication healing energies miracles and ways to begin to know your intuitive sixth sense and connection to Universal Energy. Sheryl is delighted to welcome Elaine Clayton a return guest to the show to discuss her new books A Little Bit of Angels and A Little Bit of Fairies which shares the magic of life forces that bring love and beauty to our hearts and help us find our path to remembrance.
As listeners of “Healing from Within” are so well aware my guests and I share our intimate experiences and awareness of metaphysical factors that may not be readily seen but are felt and known by many of us as we begin to quiet our minds and allow Universal Energy to reconnect and remind us that we are spiritual beings having a physical exchange with the universe in hopes of refining our energy. We are also learning to develop a greater working relationship with our mind body and spirit for evolving into a higher vibration of love and rediscovering our magnificent personal power for creation.
In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Elaine who is a writer illustrator artist and gifted psychic will show us how angels warn us, protect us, and will share ways for angelic intervention with practical advice for working to foster empathy creativity and forgiveness. We will learn how to distinguish between angels and fairies and how fairies came to be as we discover the co-existence of animals and fairies in nature. We will share much information about the many angels and their personal qualities that help us to advance our own personal growth.
When Elaine is asked to remember her earlier life and think about a person place or event that is still meaningful in the work and lifestyle of her adult life, she writes, “I cannot recall a time when I did not believe in angels. Certainly my conditioning in early childhood included an awareness of angels, for which I am grateful. Growing up with a sense of some kind of atmospheric “other” I was open to the presence of divine helpmates even though they were remote or for the most part, invisible. For example the wind blowing a door open for me at just the right moment was really an agent of the wind or an angel’s hands aiding me. I reflect on the days of my life and see how I imagined the unseen not only within us but within the spaces between us between each other and objects to be filled with a force of love.”
Sheryl says “In the book I am working on New Life Awaits I share many stories of people who have had challenging moments and have been aided by what they find out to be living angels who were there to help when needed and then suddenly not there when we try to find them again. In readings I share with clients as an intuitive medium I have felt and sensed in my inner vision angels of various sizes emanating colorful rays of light warmth protection and peace as well of course overwhelming love.”
There really such things as angels and a person can begin to become aware of them in the ways that Elaine shares with us. Elaine suggests flipping the pages of her book and letting your finger fall on a word. Do this three times and see if the words relate to an issue or concern of yours. You can do this of course with any book but nice to do it with this angel book which holds the energies of Spirit as they wish it to be observed. This is a way to become aware that your angels are watching and willing to help with inspirational suggestions for your well being and those you love.
Elaine writes, “Angels are real and you’ve got one. In fact, you’ve got many. You have an angel for anything necessary which means you’ve got different angels according to different phases and needs throughout your life.”
Sheryl says, “Over the years intuitive people have floated into my life and given me messages that aided my spiritual development. When at a workshop in Toronto many years ago I was told that my guide to help me with writing was Joshua, an Amish man, and this medium, who told me that, even drew a picture of Joshua. Later when I returned to teaching in an inner city school another medium told me my guide was Jackson and one day there was a dangerous situation with several older students engaged in a brutal fight and I just screamed out in a voice that seemed unlike my own “Stop that!”they immediately stepped away from each other. They seemed stunned or shocked. I was amazed and so grateful to have the strength and help from Jackson. Our angels are our guides and teachers and if you reflect on the challenging times, most of us will remember being helped in ways that seemed mysterious and indeed almost heavenly.”
Sheryl says to Elaine, that whether defying Earth bound scientific laws of nature or working through those same laws happenstance and blithe providence is the prediction of angels for the benefit of humankind. Elaine tells us one of her interactions with her angels. She tells of being a passenger in a car on a lonely Georgia highway and the car spun out and ended up in a ditch. When she climbed out on a deserted road she saw a tow truck approaching at the very moment it was needed. When this large red headed man got out she says that she felt this was an angelic presence. There are many accounts of people who show up suddenly during a crisis then seemingly disappear before they can be thanked for saving a life or rescuing someone from a dire situation.
Sheryl says I have had many clients in hospice and at my office where I do energy healing sessions tell me of these miraculous events. There was Gregg who was in a car crash where the car was totaled and a woman approached his car and said to stay calm that help was on the way. When the ambulance arrived he looked for the woman and she was nowhere to be found.
Elaine writes “ It is humorous and fun to play with the thought of an angel materializing from Spirit form to an earthly looking guy. Impossible as it may seem, the effect is still the same and therefore, “angelic—my plight was drastically improved, as if by magic.”
For me there was a young man named Timothy who came into my mother’s Intensive Care unit and told me not to worry he would take care of her. Days later when she was moved to another room in another part of the hospital with a feeding tube inserted in her nose Timothy walked in and I ran to him and said “She’s not doing well.” Timothy walked over to the bed and said, “You don’t need that feeding tube you can eat on your own.” The next day when I returned to the hospital the feeding tube was out and my mom was eating a little jello. I ran through the halls and to the office to find Timothy and there was no Timothy on staff. After my mother passed whenever there was a challenging time I would meet a Timothy and know Spirit was standing nearby helping me or those I was concerned about.
It seems Sheryl says that every great discovery in science music art and literature has been inspired by the messengers of the Universe guides angels holy vibrational beings God or the Divine as we are never separate from that source of connection to the creative force. They surround and support our human journey and if we allow them accept them and surrender to the divine plan we are infinitely healthier, more joyful, productive and dynamic, as our soul is free from the many fears and restrictions of illusion. It is only in allowing our physical world, societal training, religious differences and economical pursuits that we form this barrier of separation and lose the divine thread of interconnectedness and love that is our birthright.
We discuss the global idea that positive and negative angels do exist and Elaine says that in western Abrahamic culture we look to ancient Judaism for origins of the notion of angels in Torah which greatly influenced the Christian and Islamic concept of angels and ways of interacting with them.
Kabbalah taught that there is a structure to the universe and that angels are an integral part of this system. They guide and send us messages and facilitate the circulation of energy throughout the universe having a direct impact on everything that happens in the world, no matter how big or small. Justin Beck teaches that there are both positive and negative angels at work Some of the best known angels according to ancient Jewish mysticism have existed forever: the Angel of Death Archangels and Guardian Angels.
According to Kabbalah a guardian angel escorted your soul into this world at birth and travels at your side until your death. This being is a friend teacher and spiritual partner steering you back on track when you stray. The more you open yourself to his or her influence the more Light you can bring into the world. These Guardian Angels help us attain levels we couldn’t achieve acting individually. Just as your Guardian Angel encourages your spiritual growth your Negative Angel acts as your opponent, drawing you toward destructive behavior and pressuring you to indulge your ego. Your Negative Angel brings your strengths and weaknesses into full view. As a result your Negative Angel gives you the opportunity to better your life and expand your consciousness. Angels are ever present tools for transformation.
Elaine tells us something about her second book A Little Book of Fairies a topic that most people are not as familiar with as Angels.Many regard the tales of fairies as superstitious fancies but fairies like angels are very real and natural parts of our existence. There is a heartfelt way of living that recognizes that everything and everyone is interconnected, and this meaning is the profound sense that we are not alone in our struggle to survive. Nature and uncanny events are familiar and common, Living with a sense of innate oneness proves that there are unseen helpers permeating our natural world urging all of life to thrive.
Fairies are known to be a good people: a hidden and ethereal race of beings who appear as 3-D as any human or as hologram-like (colorful and mostly transparent) forms of all sizes. Luminous and airy, they may even appear quite fully human, although often smaller or in some subtle way a bit different than the average human. Fairies are somewhere in a spiritual stratosphere between humans and angels. We might sense them but not see them or see them and question whether we actually did see them. They confound us
Sheryl says she remembers when one of her granddaughters was about three and used to continuously tell her about the small pink grandmother that lived in the yard across the street in a tiny pink house. Sheryl was so curious and believed her. One day she showed her a picture of her mother who had passed and the child said, “No that was not her pink grandmother.” Children are very open to the energies that exist in nature and in spirit.
Elaine writes…”Children sense that life is not at all as it seems on the surface until we coax and condition them to more practical applications. They understand that our propensity and habit of labeling and identifying nature is superficial ….they feel the exciting air of enchantment of unseen fairy folk…they are aligned completely with their imagination knowing it is very much a part of this great expanse of the life force and the pathway to the playscape of fairies. They know that there is a dream happening, and we are in it.”
Fairies and angels are different. Elaine writes…” All of creation every particle of matter is impregnated with abundant spiritual endowment, and both angels and fairies are in cooperative roles to bring about the most potential with that irrepressible forces of life. Fairies are the delicate link between earthly life (that which is physical matter) and spiritual life (that which is ethereal) and they are to a degree subject to the same laws of nature as are humans. They can slip into human like 3-D form and cultivate life that is in 3-D form and then disappear into the purely spiritual dimension unbound by matter.
Angels on the other hand, are not subject to our laws of nature and function as spiritual advocates arriving to help us cope with these terms of natural law such as gravity, growth, death, illness and increments of time. Fairies are coping in their own way a bit differently than humans and need our cooperation as they require (for their own well being) respect from the elements seasons the land we inhabit and all aspects of Earth Life. Angels may peer into our world, see our life situations and even appear as human or animal to aid us: however they are not of our world. Fairies are bound to our world, yes in some essential ways, they experience it uniquely.
There are so many types of fairies: Elemental fairies…earth wind water and fire and Imps Changelings Elves Pixies Dryads Gnomes Sylphs nymphs ( when you have a desire to love and be loved Nymphs will draw near and then there are also Mermaids Sirens and Sulkies who all express a sexual fecundity.
Sheryl found the water fairies interesting as she is a Reiki energy healer and as humans we consist of a very high percentage of water. Elaine wrote, “Water fairies surround us while also working closely with our physical systems to heal us. They may enter all seven chakras to balance and swirl health into you when you are not we. The water fairies appear as luminescent and often the color of sea foam or sea glass They tingle like champagne bubbles and can massage you like hefty ocean waves. Water fairies want us to be in the flow of life. You say you once had a meditation at a time when you felt stuck and heard an inner voice teach you, by saying “ Don’t be like the water. Be the water” This allowed you to feel yourself moving over rocks through sticks downstream and flowing with the current. Fairies of the Water know that we need to keep a fluid sensibility to endure life, that our deep roots of established habits and attitudes need water wisdom and to be aware of the tides of our attitudes which is vital to the way our life functions and unfolds. Water fairies urge us to float and play with the stream of life. Struggling against the currents and tides only exhausts us.”
Elaine would like readers to take away with them after reading A Little Bit of Angels and A Little Bit of Fairies that when we communicate with others angels are present. It is as if we are communicating with them. They listen when we communicate through social media and we are sending an immense amount of energy by words and actions. To counterbalance all we do in the way of communicating we dream….this is so we may have a chance to learn through our own unconscious as well as though spiritual astral experiences. The angels will speak to us the way we speak to others. Your angels may be helping you resolve some emotions that claim your spirit in some way, some hurt, or lack of worth or even sense of preciousness that needs healing. The angels are also constantly trying to let us know they are right here with us. The angels will help us whether we realize it or not but life is way more interesting when we not only believe in angels but seek them and seek to understand their ways.
You might see visions of angels or synchronistic signs like:
- Your favorite number pops up.
- The person you just thought of or spoke of calls you at that moment.
- Your favorite animal in the wild darts nearby
- What you dreamed shows up in waking life.
- You say a word, then turn on the TV and a character says the same word.
- You want something and out of the blue someone offers it to you.
- You ask a question in your mind and not long after someone answer the question for you.
Sheryl says..The more you pay attention to the synchronistic events and coincidences even miracles which are messages and guidance or divine intervention the more regularly will it happen as you will be more in alignment with higher energy and your Higher Self which is interconnected to the angels and divine levels of life.
Elaine Clayton author of A Little Bit of Angels and A Little Bit of Fairies has shared beautiful insights and accurate research into the age old question that has captivated many of us for all of eternity, “Who supports us in this physical world?”: Our need to find the esoteric spiritual and magical forces of energy and beings that help guide and love us as we explore the issues and emotions of human life lead us to the angels and fairies.
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” we have discovered what perhaps we have always know that life is not random and we are not alone for like children who have parents teachers and leaders to guide them to maturity and self –awareness, the Universe or Divine provides us with the Universal Laws of Energy and beings angels fairies and guides who help us along the way to discover we can move through the challenges of this three dimensional physical reality and it is not necessary to suffer or worry, just to ASK for help and pay attention to the messages that come into our thoughts and hearts when we most need a helping hand. We are equipped with everything we need, within, at the time of our birth, for a successful healthy life journey, but simply need to recognize or acknowledge once again our soul divinity and flow in the stream of life, not with resistance and struggle, but with trust and hope that all is well.
Elaine and I would have you begin to remember your dreams coincidences and feelings in your body that alert you to the presence of our celestial helpers and awaken you to the joy and love that they bring to each of us, no matter what state of mind or difficulty we face. They are there and very much hoping you discover them.
