The ANGEL® Cards are simple to work with and there are an infinite number of ways of using them.
The ANGEL® Cards provide 52 illustrated key words that help you focus on particular aspects of your inner life. The more you think about the quality reflected by the word and picture on a card, the more you will find this quality echoing in your life, whether you pick Freedom, Grace, Abundance or any of the 52 cards.
We call them ANGEL® Cards because they represent pure essences. Meditating on them brings support to help you overcome obstacles and gain greater understanding of your inner self. The ANGEL® Cards can be used in different ways to support your journey. Back to Top Of Document
You can pick a card at the beginning of a new cycle or a new venture; you can choose one with a particular task in mind, an obstacle to overcome, or simply to give you a direction to focus on for a certain period of time. The clearer your aim and the more serious your approach, the more powerful your choice of cards will be. Part of your being knows what you need and will reach for it. This is why it is important to accept and work with whatever quality comes to you, even if you don’t immediately understand it.
Angels come to share their light and to help us with our growth periods. You can request the assistance of the Angels in a variety of situations. For example you can:
- Choose an Angel on your birthday to overlight your new year, or on other special occasions.
- Select a daily or weekly Angel to bring inspiration to work, school, family or relationship.
- Pick an Angel with a friend or relative with whom you would like deeper communication.
- Choose an Angel for a person who is at a distance and in need of assistance. Just think of that particular person and choose an Angel for them. Then picture them as supported by and radiant with that quality.
In most situations, absorbing and working with one Angel quality effectively provides all the support and guidance that is needed. However, when it feels appropriate to draw a second or third ANGEL® Card, feel free to follow your intuitive promptings and use your imagination to explore. Experiment with a variety of layouts and discover your own unique connection the Angels. Back to Top Of Document
Find a quiet place where you can sit down comfortably. Close your eyes. Breathe slowly and deeply and relax. Take time to allow your emotions to become calm, and let your mind be open and receptive.
In this quiet, relaxed state, take some time to reflect on your present life situation. Direct your attention to a particular issue of concern or challenge with which you would like assistance and insight. Focus on one specific situation or goal that is important to you at this time. As you concentrate steadily on this issue, affirm your willingness to accept support and make changes in your life.
Now invite an Angel to join you and allow a contact to be made. Feel a pure stream of light from above entering your being. Allow the comfort of this presence to embrace and surround you, lifting and expanding your awareness. Open to it fully. Take time to let this connection strengthen and deepen. When you feel ready, simply open your eyes and select a card.
Take time to look at the Angel selected, reflecting on the key word. Then move back into the silence and welcome your Angel by name. Open to it unconditionally. Feel its purity and radiance merging with you. Open the lines of communication and allow the significance of the quality to become conscious. Let your Angel speak to you. Listen to your Angel. It may suggest practical ways in which you can express this quality in your current situation.
Affirm your ability to be a clear, open expression for this quality. Visualize it flowing through you and streaming into your life in creative and harmonious ways. Picture yourself giving and receiving this quality with those around you, with radiant results.
Finally, ask for a gift from your Angel and take whatever presents itself - a word, image or feeling. Recalling this gift will summon your Angel and reconnect you with its presence.
Complete the meditation by giving thanks and writing down ways in which your Angel can have greater expression in your life. Write down any messages, impressions or ideas before moving on.
You may wish to return to this reflective, quiet space and dialogue with the Angel in subsequent days, becoming aware of how your goals are being fulfilled. It is helpful to keep a daily record in your journal, noting to what extent you have consciously expressed the healing power of the quality to others, to yourself and to your environment.
When you intuitively feel that it is time to choose a new Angel, begin by acknowledging the contribution the current Angel has made to your life and release it with your appreciation before you begin the selection of a new quality. Back to Top Of Document
The ANGEL® Cards were originally designed as part of a board game which was developed to encourage personal creativity by Joy Drake and Kathy Tyler while living at the Findhorn Foundation. In The Transformation Game, the cards are drawn in response to a particular issue about which the player is seeking insight. The ANGEL® Cards are much more than just cards. They have an energy unto themselves. They can help players expand their sensitivity to inner resources and uncover a deeper understanding of their personal issue.
When The ANGEL® Cards are used outside the context of The Transformation Game, it is equally important to have a clear focused intent prior to selecting an Angel. Back to Top Of Document
