5 Steps
This book is an answer to my prayer for a simple solution for people who want to learn how to connect with their angels, who are asking for help, but who arent ready to jump into a class. It illustrates an easy to follow process that if you make the commitment, you will greatly deepen your relationship with the angels.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt
Other than this one occasion, I did not consciously experience any Divine encounters until I was in my late 30s. I heard a voice very clearly guiding me to leave my corporate job saying that it was poisonous for me. My workplace hadnt always been that way, but it had become more and more caustic, and it was time to move on. I drank more than I should (a common method for tuning out the intuitive sense), worked too hard and much of the time ignored what my intuition was trying to tell me. The angels gently altered my course by speaking through my 5 year old son who said (and I quote), Mommy, youre never around! These simple words woke me up and abruptly nudged me to listen. I quit my job within the month. In my new role as a stay-at-home parent, I had more time to explore my passions. One of these journeys was learning about the truth of intuition: what it is, how it works and how to trust it. I worked with a healer who taught me about spiritual guidance and the ability to access my own source of power. Once I opened my eyes and heart to the possibility of using intuition in my daily life, the floodgates opened. I realized there is a whole world of Divine and pure wisdom, advice and knowledge that I now know I could not live without. Its like having access to a 24-hour database of knowledge that is never wrong and is always loving. Everyday is filled with joy and surprises as I follow the guidance from my angels. They help me at the grocery store, reminding me of what I need to buy and what food choices are healthy for my family. They help me decide what books to read and what clothes to wear. They help me parent my children and give me advice in those Oh my God, what do I do with my teenager now? moments. The angels help in business, with family and friend situations. Their abilities are limitless. And now, I understand, are mine. If ever I doubt the angels advice or choose to take a path they dont recommend, I invariably regret it. The angels favorite response when I exclaim after the fact You were right! (yes, Im still human and sometimes, albeit rarely, I doubt my guidance!), they answer, We always are! And its true. Without exception! You may wonder, so is she losing her sense of self by working so closely with the angels? And my reply is a resounding NO! Because the angels truly are an aspect of our higher selves, I am really tapping more deeply into who I am. I know myself now better than I ever have.
Challenge with Approach #1 Though I could go on and on, you may still be skeptical and ultimately only believe that these magical experiences are only attainable by me and other more gifted people. You may not believe this lifestyle of following your heart and your inner Divine voice to be possible for you. Approach #2 I could do research and provide case studies to illustrate more people whose lives have been transformed once they began to strengthen their relationship with the angels. I have students whose lives have opened to what truly makes them happy. They have learned to make choices that truly inspire and empower them like never before. Some have finally left their unfulfilling jobs to pursue their hearts desires and are succeeding! Some have followed their guidance to change their personal relationships and they are yes, succeeding! I could tell you about how my daughter lost her plane ticket when she was traveling alone back from Japan. In a fit of hysterical tears, she went up to the ticket counter and as she told her story to the attendant, a man came up to her, ticket in hand and said, is this yours? You dropped it on the ground back there. And then he disappeared never to be seen again. I could refer you to research people who follow their Divine guidance and live lives of abundance and love, like Wayne Dyer, Carolyn Myss, James Twyman, Neale Donald Walsh and Doreen Virtue (and I could go on and on).
Challenge with Approach #2 Again, you still might not believe it to be possible for yourself.
Approach #3 The angels in their infinite wisdom are suggesting that the most effective way for you to start working with them is simply for you to try. And the only way I can really emphasize this approach is to provide a no-can-lose incentive. From my heart to yours, here is my offer
If, after 4 months of following the complete guidance in this book, you do not feel absolutely certain that you have received messages from your angels and deepened your relationship with them, I will give you not one, but two decks of angel oracle cardsfor FREE! Heres why I believe in this approach. Its not my word thats at stake. Its the power of the angels. And I am so secure in my relationship with the angels and in the unsurpassed abilities that they possess that I know that you will experience them in safe and loving ways. All you have to do is try! Ready? Set? Go!!!

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you are already receiving messages from your angels. 1. 2. 3. 4. Have you ever had a gut feeling about something? Have you ever just known that something was going to happen? Have you ever heard, felt, or seen a presence that felt loving and also unexplainable? Have you ever prayed for an outcome that initially felt impossible, but your prayer was answered?
So did you? Did you answer yes? I bet you did! Once youve opened the door to believing that the angels exist, trusting the messages you receive from them is the next step. This is not always easy to do and for many is the hardest part of the process. Even if you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be likely that you often let your mind talk you out of listening to these messages. With angel communication, you will learn how to trust your heart.
Clairvoyance
This is your ability to visually see beyond the physical plane. Many people believe that clairvoyance is limited to seeing angels, spirits, auras and/or other energies. But it also includes the ability to see patterns and messages that exist in the world that you see with your eyes, e.g. repeating numbers (11,44, etc.), shapes, animals in nature that you see with frequency, or other visible signs from above. Another aspect of clairvoyance is what you experience in your dreams and other visualizations in meditation or guided journeys while your eyes are closed. And finally, clairvoyance includes visions you may see with whats called your third eye, or minds eye. This happens if you are able to see an image, despite what your eyes are actually focused on. Often times when I am working with a client, the angels will show me an image to help me understand the message they are giving me. I am still looking at my client, but the image also comes into my head, similar to a memory or daydream. Examples of clairvoyance: You keep looking at the clock when its 11 after the hour. When you look at people you see colors around them. For the 2nd time this week, a fox crosses your path. In many cultures, different animals represent different things. Everywhere you look, you see certain numbers. Master numbers are very common forms of angel messages. These are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 and 99. You open a book to a page that has just the message you needed to see. While you are daydreaming, an image of your next house pops into your head showing you what you need to tell your realtor to look for. (I just know it has a red door and a maple tree in the front yard! Ive seen it in my head!) Suddenly everywhere you look, you see books about how to self-publish. Maybe theres a book you need to be writing! Youre in the grocery store and a box of cookies falls off the shelf and smashes the cookies into little pieces. The message may be that you need to reduce the amount of sugar youre eating. You see spirits either boldly or as a shadow. You wake from a dream and you dont necessarily remember all the details, but there are a few things that stand out vividly that you know must mean something.
Clairaudience
This is your ability to hear the voices of the angels. Sometimes the voice will sound different from yours, but many times this voice will sound like your own. Dont worry if this doesnt make sense right now. Over time, you will recognize and understand that angelic voices are coming from a place of such pure love that it feels different from the voice of your ego which tends to hold doubting or fearful thoughts. Some people do hear the angels in a voice that is different from their own. Again, if what you hear is coming from a place of pure love, you know it is angelic. Clairaudience also includes hearing messages through other people. This is one of the angels favorite ways to get through to people who are resisting their advice. Or clairaudience can be sounds, like music, that you hear at just the right time, or repeatedly. Examples of clairaudience: Theres a voice in your head that keeps telling you to take a break, youre working too hard. It seems every time you turn on the radio, you hear the song Calling All Angels For the third time this week you hear someone nearby mention the need to drink more water. You keep hearing people talk about going to the beach. Maybe you need to be near the ocean! Theres a voice in your head that is telling you its okay to trust your intuition. Whenever you think of your mother, you hear a sparrow chirp outside your window. Just when your best friend is telling you something really important, a car drives by and honks its horn as if to add an exclamation point.
Clairsentience
This is your ability to feel energy. For example, when you walk into a room or when you meet someone, you can immediately sense whether the energy feels good or bad. This is often associated with empathy. Clairsentience is also expressed if you hold something close to your heart you will often notice some sort of bodily reaction. (Try thisits really cool!) When the clairsentient sense is activated, some people will feel a sensation in their stomach and others in their chest. Some feel a tingling or a chill when they get that connection. Some even sense through emotions and physical sensations what people around them are feeling. Do you notice that when youre with someone who has a sore throat that suddenly your own throat gets scratchy? Or if your childs ankle is twisted, your own becomes achy? Or if youre around someone whos sad, you suddenly feel sad even if you dont know them? Examples of clairsentience: You hug a baby, you feel blissfully peaceful and your whole body relaxes. As you walk into a large store or mall, your breath becomes constricted. You are about to meet your ex-husband to discuss the issue of child support, your stomach gets tight and uncomfortable. Your friend calls and asks you to go for a walk in the woods, and your whole body heaves a sigh of happy relaxation. Every time youre around someone whos sick, you feel it too. When you hear a song you love, a smile automatically comes to your face and your heart says, yay! Someone gives you a piece of advice, and you feel a pronounced tingling in your body, like the chills.
Claircognizance
This is your ability to simply know what the angels and Spirit are communicating. This is a strong gut feeling that you just cant ignore. The angels say this is equivalent to faith. Claircognizance is a deep sense of knowing. Just as birds know when its time to fly south for the winter, its your sense of what needs to happen and/or what you know is going to happen. It is your ability to assess another persons energy and know whether it is safe for you to be with themor not. Its that sense that creeps forward and when you ignore it, causes you to say I knew I should have____! I just knew it! Examples of claircognizance: You know your mother is going to call you five seconds before the phone ringsand its her. Someone asks you to go to a rock concert and you love the band, but something doesnt sit right with you in your core. You know it is not a good idea. Youre dating a guy who has all the qualities youve been looking for. Hes Mr. Right, is madly in love with you and all your friends love him. Your parents love him. But, you just know it wont work. Committing to a life with him doesnt resonate with your soul. Hes really not Mr. Right. On the other handyoure with a guy who doesnt fit your list of all the right characteristics. Yet, you know in your core hes your soul mate and you are deeply in love. You know your future together is very bright, regardless of appearances and judgments from family or friends. You are driving home from work and just know there is a book you need to buy that will have something important for you to read over the weekend. You want to go on vacation with some friends, but every time you try to plan it something happens. After three attempts, you recognize that this is not meant to be.
Examples of clairbeing: In meditation, you lose your sense of self and feel peaceful in the energy that is all around you. When you are walking in the woods and you allow your mind to drift into distant thoughts and forget your worries. You look up at the sky and watch the clouds transform from one shape to another and all you are thinking about is the beauty of what you see. Your cat is sleeping quietly on the bed and you curl up next to her imitating her graceful and tranquil energy. You drift off to sleep, grateful for this perfect example of Being.
Homework
1. Continue your Daily Workout by saying the My Angel Guidance Manifesto out loud everyday! 2. Exercise to identify your primary clair senses The easiest method for learning where your intuition is strongest is to focus on how you process life. For each of the following scenarios, circle the answer that most fits how you process the moment. Take a significant situation that has occurred within the past week and answer the following questions. When you think about this event, do you: a) See it again in your minds eye? Is your memory a vivid image? b) Recall what you or other people said? Or do you remember any dominant sounds? c) Remember how you felt at the time? What were your emotions or bodily sensations? d) Did you have a knowing for how things were going to turn out? Did you have faith that everything would turn out alright? Take a significant situation that has occurred within the past month and answer the same questions. When you think about this event, do you: a) See it again in your minds eye? Is your memory a vivid image? b) Recall what you or other people said? Or do you remember any dominant sounds? c) Remember how you felt at the time? What were your emotions or bodily sensations? d) Did you have a knowing for how things were going to turn out? Did you have faith that everything would turn out alright? Take a significant situation that occurred a year ago and answer the same questions. When you think about this event, do you: a) See it again in your minds eye? Is your memory a vivid image? b) Recall what you or other people said? Or do you remember any dominant sounds? c) Remember how you felt at the time? What were your emotions or bodily sensations? d) Did you have a knowing for how things were going to turn out? Did you have faith that everything would turn out alright? Take a significant situation that occurred when you were a teenager and answer the same questions. When you think about this event, do you: a) See it again in your minds eye? Is your memory a vivid image? b) Recall what you or other people said? Or do you remember any dominant sounds? c) Remember how you felt at the time? What were your emotions or bodily sensations? d) Did you have a knowing for how things were going to turn out? Did you have faith that everything would turn out alright?
Take a significant situation that occurred when you were a small child and answer the same questions. When you think about this event, do you: a) See it again in your minds eye? Is your memory a vivid image? b) Recall what you or other people said? Or do you remember any dominant sounds? c) Remember how you felt at the time? What were your emotions or bodily sensations? d) Did you have a knowing for how things were going to turn out? Did you have faith that everything would turn out alright?
If the majority of your answers are: (a) then you are predominantly clairvoyant (b) - then you are predominantly clairaudient (c) - then you are predominantly clairsentient (d) then you are predominantly claircognizant It is not uncommon to have two primary clair senses, so dont be surprised if your answers span more than one option. If you feel uncertain of your answers, then repeat this exercise on another day with different life events. By the second or third attempt, you should be quite certain where your strengths lie.
3. Exercise to assess your level of clairbeing To determine your level of clairbeing, it is important to gently determine how you conduct your day and the choices that you currently are making. For each of the following scenarios, circle the answer that most fits your choices. How often are you able to completely let go and allow yourself to meditate, daydream, yoga, go for a walk in nature or have unstructured time for yourself? a) 30-60 minutes a day b) Few minutes to 30 minutes a day c) Not everyday, but once in a while. d) I dont believe Im able to do this yet. When was the last time you took a moment or two to honor the natural world and watched a butterfly float in the breeze, or a hawk circling overhead or the sun set into the dusky horizon? a) Today b) Within the last week c) Within the last month d) I dont remember. How often are you conscious of what you are eating and honoring where it comes from (e.g., eating a hamburger and thinking about the cow it came from with gratitude)? a) Today b) Within the last week c) Within the last month d) I dont remember. When was the last time you paused and took some deep cleansing breaths to release your worries and feel the nourishment of fresh air? a) Today b) Within the last week c) Within the last month d) I dont remember. Do you have a regular routine practice to help you release stress from your life? If so, how frequently do you follow it? a) Once a day b) 2-5 times a week c) Few times a month d) I dont currently have a regular de-stressing routine.
If 3-5 of your answers are (a) or (b), then congratulations! You are ahead of the pack!! If 1-2 of your answers are (a) or (b), then you are heading in the right direction and have good intentions. Just try to bump it up and set your intention to achieve more (a)s and (b)s. If none of your answers are in the (a) or (b) range, then do not fret! You are not alone! With a little focus and intention, step by step you will get to a point where you have a wellness routine as part of your regular lifestyle. You may think, Theres no way I can add any more to my life! But I assure you that you can. Its just a matter of finding the right method and structure that will work for you. Why is this so important? Because if you are not able to let go of the stresses of modern society and allow yourself to relax and begin to feel at peace with the world around you, it is going to be much more challenging to connect with your angels. Additionally, how you spend your time will likely be less productive. Even if youre feeling the need to get things done, when you spin your wheels you are not working in alignment with your soul. You may still move forward, but your level of resistance to the messages from your angels will be much higher.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero
Any conversation with your angels starts with you! Thats right, the angels already have lots of answers for you, and you began the dialogue without even knowing it. Every time you ask for something in your head or out loud, the angels respond. Every time you pray or send out any message to the universe, the angels answer you back. Huh? you may be wondering. If you want to buy a new car, change jobs, or find your soul mate, your angels are working behind the scenes to make what is in your best interest happen for you. They operate in union with the Law of Attraction, except that they understand exactly what will help you most. For example, you want a new car. You set your mind on a little red convertible and you fall in love with one you test drove at a dealership. Its a little more than you think you can afford, but you are certain that this is the car for you and you wonder if you can stretch your paycheck to make it work. It seems like every where you go, you see a car exactly like it. Its all you can think about. Maybe youve even seen the hit movie The Secret and youre doing everything in your power to attract this car into your life. Meanwhile, the angels are doing their work. They want what is best for you. They know you love the car. Of course they dont want to disappoint you, but they also know that in less than a few months, you will be meeting your future husband who has two young children. You will be very happy in this new marriage, but you will need to help transport his lovely daughters Copyright 2009 Rev. Nina Roe AngelsTeach.com 27
to school a few days a week. Long story short, this car is not suitable for carting kids around and therefore not a good idea for you at this time. And so it doesnt happen. Or the reverse can happen and you suddenly are offered some part time work you hadnt expected and have extra money to buy the car easily. Who do you think helped you find the extra work?! While manifesting an abundance of your souls desires with the angels is very achievable, there is a process called ask, believe and co-create. With asking, you must be very clear and be aligned with your path of service. With believing, you must know that you deserve abundance and that what you desire can be fulfilled. With co-creating, you must be able to hear the messages from the angels who are lovingly guiding you towards your answers and then make choices that feel right in your heart. Deliberate manifestation with the angels is a more advanced topic than what this book includes, but is an excellent direction to pursue, once you are comfortable with your angel connection.
Using a new deck of cards Before using a new deck of cards, hold them to your heart and bless them as follows: I ask the angels to bless these cards, which are a tool for communicating with you, the ascended masters and God/Spirit/Creator in a more complete way. I ask that these cards give me the clear and loving messages that are in my highest interest. I ask that the energy of these cards be grounded only in love, clarity and compassion. Picking one card 1. Choose the deck that feels best to you 2. Hold the cards in your hands and shuffle them while saying out loud or in your mind a) Angels, please show me what I need to know today about [whatever situation you would like help with] b) OR more generally, Angels, please show me anything I need to know at this time. Thank you! 3. Fan the cards out on a flat surface and run your non-writing hand (left hand for most of us righties) over the cards 4. Choose the one that you feel most strongly pulled to 5. You can also just pick one from the bunch without fanning them out as a group Once you have selected your card: Look at the card and pay attention to: o Not only the words in the card, but what you first notice in the illustration as well as the wording. The words are sometimes superfluous to the message. o What emotions did you feel immediately? Did it make you feel sad? Or glad? o Did the card remind you of something or someone? o Did you suddenly feel a sensation somewhere in your body? o Notice everything! You may know why you chose this card immediately. Or, it may not be clear until later. It is not typical, but sometimes the message in the card may not clear for a while. In this case, simply make a mental note and see if it comes clear later in the week. Over time, you will understand. You may struggle to trust the message that you are receiving and thats okay. Dont judge yourself. Simply allow the message to come to you, write it in your journal and see what happens. As the truth of the message reveals itself, you will feel assured of the presence and power of your angels. Picking multiple cards This is accomplished the same way you pick one card, except that you do it multiple times. The order and position of the cards hold additional meaning. The number of cards you select is determined by what is called a card spread. Each position in a card spread has a different meaning and adds depth to your interpretation of the card. You will learn what this means as you practice. (See sample spreads below.)

Homework
1. Continue your Daily Workout by saying the My Angel Guidance Manifesto out loud everyday! 2. Enhance your Daily Workout with this additional step. Begin a practice of picking an angel oracle card every morning. Pay attention to what you notice right away. Revisit the card at the end of the day and see if you gain further insight. You can purchase angel cards: at our online store [Click on: http://www.angelsteach.com/products/ ], find them at most bookstores, or use our Ask the Angels online card picking tool. [Click on: http://www.angelsteach.com/asktheangels/ ] 3. Gratitude exercise For the next week, pause three times a day for a moment of gratitude. Deepen your breath as you mentally list all the things that have happened in your day for which you are grateful. I have a friend with a clock that chimes each hour. She uses it as a reminder to experience gratitude. Whenever it sounds off, she counts her blessings! Before you begin the week, take note of how you feel about life. Once a week has passed, take note again. How have things changed for you? This is a wonderful exercise to weave into your everyday life. 4. Pick additional cards - optional As you are inspired, pick cards for other reasons. If you are looking for insight into a relationship, a situation at work or whether or not you should go to the Caribbean or skiing for your winter vacation, pick a card. The angels always have your best interest at heart and know exactly what will match your intentions.
Traditional prayer is defined as the act of communicating to a deity In our present society, prayer is often taught as the practice of reciting something that is already written. It is an act of speaking either out loud or silently to God and the angels without much expectation of a direct or immediate response. Prayer is truly a two-way, interactive form of communication. Some belief systems have a foundational value that it is wrong to attempt to listen to messages from God and the angels directly. I hold no judgment, for each of us was born to experience different ideas, yet I cant help but wonder if God and the angels made us, why wouldnt they want us to be able to hear them? Prayer is no different from dialogue with the angels. When you say, I pray to the angels that [fill in the blank], your angels are on the other side of the table replying Yes, I am listening and here is my advice. The question is, are you able to hear the answer? The element of prayer that needs to be emphasized here is the art of listening. If you ask for help from the angels, then you need to be able to recognize the response And there is always a response. This is defined by the Law of Attraction. What you put out to the Universe always comes back to you no exceptions. If you dont learn how to hear the messages from the angels, then it is no different from talking to your husband, child or friend and not hearing any response.
Pause for a moment and imagine a conversation on the phone with your best friend. You keep talking, but the line has gone dead. You may have just asked her for advice with buying a new house, but you never heard her answer. Not very helpful! And what if your friend was trying to tell you that the school system in the area is fabulous or that the water quality may have issues and you cant hear her comments? Its challenging for you to then make an informed decision. Asking without being able to hear the reply is simply not an effective or constructive form of communication. Communicating with the angels is no different. Once you ask a question, or say a prayer, you must listen for the response and then hold gratitude in your heart when you receive it! And your angels have so much wisdom and guidance to share with you!!

Once youve identified your strongest intuitive senses from Step Two: Trust What You Already Know, its important to strengthen that muscle. Its no different from lifting weights. You must do this everyday!!! 1. Continue your Daily Workout: Say the My Angel Guidance Manifesto out loud everyday! Pick an angel oracle card 2. Exercise to strengthen your primary clair senses Today is your day to start a journal. Make it fun and go to the store and buy a new one that really inspires you. This is your new beginning! For the next 30 days, you will be exercising your intuitive muscles and strengthening your clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience and claircognizance (we will be addressing clairbeing separately). Each day, write down 1-3 angel experiences that you have for each of your clairsenses. It doesnt matter whether you understand the underlying message yet, just begin to notice. You may know an experience is a message because you have that strong sense that it is. Initially, that may be all you know! Just take note and wait for clarity. For example, if you see a deer cross in front of your car and you know in your heart that this is a message and must mean something, then write it down. Most of the time, the message will become clear within a short period of time. Here are some pointers and things to look for Clairvoyance Begin to notice the kinds of visions or patterns that you are seeing. Also notice certain animals that you might see repeatedly, dreams you are having or numbers you keep seeing. Anything you notice with your eyes or your third eye and feels significant is your clairvoyant sense. Clairaudience Begin to listen to the messages you hear and pay attention to the advice you are receiving. Listen not only to what you hear with your own inner voice, but also the words of those around you. Often times, the angels will speak through other people especially if its a message we may be rejecting ourselves. Notice songs that might come on the radio and draw your attention or other sounds that seem significant. Clairsentience Begin to listen to how you feel about situations. Does going to a movie with your friend on Saturday night feel good? Or does it feel slightly wrong? Does going to the movies with your friend at all feel good? Or maybe its going to a movie on a certain Saturday night that doesnt feel right. Pay attention to your feelings about choices that you are making. Do you get a tingly feeling when you talk about certain subjects? Or do you get a knot in your stomach? Your angels speak to you through your body through your feeling sense. Copyright 2009 Rev.

Claircognizance Begin to listen to your gut. What do you already know in your core about relationships that are troubling you, or a work situation that is challenging? Even if you are currently unable to see that change may be necessary, just allow what you know deep down to come to the surface. You dont need to take any action today, tomorrow or even this year. Just allow it to float to your conscious awareness and write it down. 3. Exercise to strengthen your clairbeing sense The exercise for clairbeing is slightly different because it operates by using different impulses. Clairbeing is more about surrendering to the will of the angels and communicating with them solely on their terms, versus on terms that are more familiar to us like the four other primary clairs. To build your clairbeing muscle, your assignment is to do one of the following things every day for 30 days and write in your journal about your experience. Its fine if youd like to mix it up and meditate one day and go for a walk the next. Here are some options: a) Do a guided meditation of your choice. b) Meditate for at 5-15 minutes. If this is challenging for you, it may be that you just need to try it for a few days. Or, start out more slowly with 5 minutes/day for a week and then increase it to 10 minutes/day for the second week and then work up to 15 minutes/day. c) Walk alone in nature (or as close as you can come to it) for at least 20 minutes. Try not to think about things you need to do or get done, but rather let the thoughts come to you from the angels. This is not a time to make a mental grocery list. Just set the intention of using this time to receive from the angels and allow your thoughts to wander. For homework items #2 and #3: Because life happens, if you are unable to do either of these exercises some days, forgive yourself. Do your best to make it part of your daily routine. If you miss several days, you may need to start over. A healthy guideline is that if you are not able to do these exercises 23 out of 30 days, then you will need to begin again. I give you this advice because I have certainly had days and periods in my life where daily meditation seems impossible. Invariably, however, you will get out of this experience what you put into it. Whenever I fall away from my ritual of prayer, something happens to remind me how important a habitual practice it really is. Keep your intention focused and know that you are doing the best you can!

Do you already know how to eat? Of course you do! But when you decide to go on a diet, you make a commitment to change what you eat. You may allow yourself to indulge in a dish of raspberry sorbet or a chocolate cookie from time to time, but otherwise, you are dedicated to doing what is necessary to lose those extra pounds. Only with focus and dedication do your eating habits stay healthy. Communicating with the angels is a practice. It is as natural for you as eating, but it takes effort to make it a regular part of your life. As part of this program, you must exercise your Angelic Intuition everyday. Now that you have finished with Step Four, you can practice on a more in depth level. When you have a question for the angels, try exploring with multiple card spreads. Experiment with friends. Spend time with like-minded people and explore your spirituality!
Homework
It is said that it takes 40 days to change our belief systems. You have already established a healthy practice for over a month. So for the next month, take what you have learned and deliberately begin to weave what you can into your daily life. 1.Continue your Daily Workout: Say the My Angel Guidance Manifesto out loud everyday Pick an angel oracle card 2.Do what you can to incorporate the clairbeing habits you have begun into your everyday life. The angels believe that this is the most important clairsense to exercise. They believe this for two reasons. First, it carries a thread through all of your intuitive sense and ultimately leads you to living a more peaceful existence. Second, clairbeing is how you can most impact the world around you. Like the Butterfly Effect, your peace and well-being is contagious and can impact everyone around and even all over the world. As each of us moves closer to this state of compassion, our world heals. Its a ripple effect! 3. Begin a practice of doing multi-card spreads on a regular basis. I like to do a spread at the beginning of each week to give me a sense of what to focus on and what to expect. Its a wonderful way to ground and set your priorities. 4. Experiment with the guidance you receive. Track the outcome when you follow your angels advice and when you dont. What happens? Start with the small decisions and go from there! And have fun!!
