Yes You CAN Talk to Your Angels!

When I advise someone to talk to their angels, they sometimes reply, "But I can't talk to my angels like you can." Yes, you can! You might not hear their replies in the ways I do, but there is absolutely nothing blocking your ability to talk to them or their ability to hear you. In time you will develop greater ability to receive and recognize the messages your angels are communicating to you.

The first step is to start talking to them. Some people are most comfortable writing letters or journal entries to their angels. You can use your voice to communicate with them, although you might feel silly doing that and it isn't always appropriate (such as when you're around other people). Instead, you can address the angels in your thoughts. Talk to them about anything and everything. They're with you to help you, they deeply care about you, and they are your friends--so talk to them that way!

You may expect to hear their responses as voices, but you might not be ready to develop clairaudient abilities just yet and not all angels communicate that way. Let go of any preconceptions and expectations regarding how your angels will communicate with you, and be open to receiving their messages in many different ways. Voices and whispers certainly are one way your angels can communicate with you, but here are some other ways:

• Intuition: It can be difficult to recognize intuition because it comes to you in your own thoughts rather than a different voice or something else immediately recognized as coming from an outside source. Angels often provide you with new thoughts and ideas, and instinctive knowledge.
• Dreams and visions: When you're asleep you are more open to spiritual communication. Visions are less common but are mentioned in connection with dreams because visions often involve similar imagery as our dreams and learning to interpret your dreams can help you to understand the symbolic visions you might receive.
• Music: If you have a song stuck in your head even though you haven't heard it recently, the lyrics could have a significant message the angels want you to hear. Likewise, you might turn on the radio just because and hear a song that is relevant to your current situation. (In both cases you're also receiving and responding to intuition.) If you associate the song with a time in your life or another person, that could be the subject of the message the angels are trying to communicate.
• Sounds: Angels can communicate through other sounds as well, such as bells, chimes, footfalls, and knocking. This is a clairaudient experience that can be much easier for you to pick up than actual voices, and these sounds all indicate that your angels are trying to get your attention.
• Emotions: When the message relates to emotions, your angels can communicate through your emotions. Pay particular attention to changes in your emotions that don't seem connected to the events around you.
• Scents: Our sense of scent is strongly linked to our memory, and sometimes you may pick up a smell that has no physical source in your environment. Usually it will be a familiar scent that reminds you of a specific time in your life or even someone you know. This is a clairsentient experience and your angels may be trying to communicate a message about your memories or the person the scent is associated with.
• Physical sensations: A feeling of exhilarating (not uncomfortable) chills or tingles is a fairly typical clairsentient message from the angels, usually intended to confirm something that was just thought or spoken. Sometimes you will feel a comforting sensation as if someone has placed their hand on your shoulder or even hugged you, and it's a way the angels may comfort or encourage you.

There are many ways your angels can communicate with you, and you may have stronger abilities to pick up messages in some of these ways than in others. If you start to recognize the messages angels are communicating with you in one of these ways, they will probably begin to communicate with you in other ways too. Be open to receiving messages from them in these ways, as well as others.

P.S. I wanted to share a personal example of how the angels use music to communicate with me. During my first week in Helsinki, I went out for a walk at 4:30 am. I consulted the map before I left, but around 5:00 am I realized I was quite lost! There was no one around to ask for help, so I asked the angels to show me the way. Just as I found the right street to get back home, a Finnish song called "Varjot" by my favourite band, Turmion Kätilöt, started playing on my mp3 player. I still don't know what the words mean, so when that song gets stuck in my head I know the message isn't related to the lyrics. The message is always either that I'm on the right path now or the angels want to show me the right way. Needless to say, I really like it when "Varjot" gets stuck in my head!

I would love to hear some of your stories about how the angels have communicated with you.
