Angels watch over us; sometimes ancestors
FROM THE EDITOR
MI R A C L E S HAPPEN every day. Recent ly a f r iend of mine told me a s tor y
that “classifies” in the miracle category. She was bereft over her finances and wondering how to
pay a certain bill that was due. She tossed and turned for many nights, stressed out about how to get the funds to pay what was due. One night she dreamed that
she was back at her old home, sit-ting at the dining room table with her father Frank (long deceased.) She was fretting in the dream about her lack of money to pay all the bills due. Then—in a light bulb moment—it came to her that she was living with her dad and she
could ask him for help. She wanted to show him the bill, but couldn’t find it and was feeling frantic. He said to her, “It’s all taken care of.” She said a huge burden was lifted
from her and she woke up feel-ing free of anxiety and concern over the issue. She told her hus-band about her fears and about the dream; he said to her, “Frank will come through for you.” Prior to her husband’s leav-ing work that same night, his boss slipped him $50, a bonus for a job well-done. Since he now had a little extra spending money (at the time he only had $2 in his pocket) he decided to stop at a local bar near home and get a beer. He played a video slot machine and BOOM! …he won a $900 pay-out! My friend was sleeping when her husband got home but he was so excited he woke her up to share the news. He said, “Frank came through.” They not only paid the bill that was due but a couple of oth-ers nearing deadline. Certainly a miracle! Ask the angels and they’ll see to it that miracles occur for you!

T’S A simple truth. It’s even printed on currency. We are blessed with Divine Guidance, two of the forms being angels and the gift of
intuition. When we listen to and act on our guidance, we transform the zero-sum “survival of the fittest” mindset. We grow stronger spiritu-ally and come closer to manifesting our Divine Purpose, our luminous gospel light that is inside every one of us. For many individuals, Divine Guidance, infinitely wise and all-knowing, is a language of feel-ings. When we experience a subtle or strong instinct, our guidance is speaking. Choose to ignore it and the folly of our choices will be apparent, each and every time—perhaps subtly at first and then increasing exponen-tially until the impact forces us to act. In other words, to resist is to repeat.
BEGIN WITH BIRDS AND BEES Recognizing Earth as sacred and that living things are the con-duit between heaven and earth, our ancestors maintained that winged
entities represented creation, pres-ervation, and regeneration. The Neolithic people of Catal Huyuk venerated birds and bees as the mes-sengers of divine deities, since they were free from the gravity of earth and able to soar. The spiritual aims of pre-Christian traditions included transformation of consciousness through rituals with winged god-desses and frame drums (repre-senting heartbeats, the sustaining rhythm of life). Eventually, the winged Neolithic and Paleolithic goddesses were rewritten as subser-vient Judeo-Christian angels.
SPROUT SEEDS IN EARTH Because the language of the universe is not literal, your under-standing and cultivation of how the Divine specifically speaks to and guides you is fundamental to your personal clarity and evolution. Mak-ing the most of your gift depends on your ability to listen and trust. For example, when the element of frus-tration or dis-ease enters any area of your life, the Divine is tapping you on the shoulder. By quieting
your mind, resting your eyes, and breathing, you’re synching up with your intuition. Additionally, what captures your attention throughout the day as you read, see, and listen are clues to you about your life, your Divine Purpose, your dharma. By discerning the information you receive and trusting the feeling of wholeness, contentment, and ease, your life takes on new meaning. Numerous traditions assert that we are accountable for our thoughts, words, and actions, and provide parables that teach us to access our higher awareness. An Algonquin story tells of Tchakabech climbing to heaven on a tree to be enlightened by the sun. The Jacob’s Ladder Biblical story describes our continual ascending and descending a metaphorical ladder planted on earth that reaches heaven. The pro-cess of accessing Divine Guidance is a form of the ascent to heaven, yet it is only half the journey. The descent implies continuing the transforma-tion within and for the benefit of your community. Because, in keep-ing with Buddhist teachings, even

the sacred lotus is rooted in wet soil on Earth. Accessing guidance of the Divine is a process of trust. It might be unusual at first, yet on the wings of birds you soar serenely, pur-posefully through the ascent and descent. Net result? Feeling secure
in the world, discovering your dharma, and living with humility, compassion, and gratitude. Not to mention, the spectacular vista of our Sacred Earth from top of the tree surrounded by lotus blossoms cre-ates a plus-sum journey that makes your heart smile.

CAVORTING WITH ANGELS
ANY YEARS ago I read Doreen Vir-tue’s little blue book called Earth Angels describing different
soul origins. Doreen is very angelic herself and connected to her Earth Angel origins. In looking back, one idea that I really seemed to connect with regarding soul origins of the angelic realm is that Earth Angels generally have difficult relationships with the opposite sex. It was helpful for me to take a look at this aspect and get a better understanding of why. The simple version or answer to this question of why, is that the quality and degree of love which emanates from an Earth Angel’s heart draws in those who are wounded and need love, but cannot always receive love. Others see our glow and really fall in love with that light. It is our gift to teach and dem-onstrate to these beings that this light resides inside of them as well and that we are simply the reflection of that light, i.e., the mirror affect. We may, if we choose, love them into healing those wounds and
learning to trust in love once again. We may, as well, learn discernment and choose what is ours to partici-pate in by paying very close atten-tion to what feels right and enlivens us and what feels wrong and holds us back. We are not responsible for saving the world. Please discern all your involvements.
IDENTIFY THE EARTH ANGELS BY THEIR SWEETNESS From my experience Earth Angel souls usually appear much younger in physical body than their biological age. They have a sweet-ness about them. They are drawn to expressing themselves with blonde or light colored hair and almost always have very bright eyes. It is as if the stars are shining through their eyes. Many of them have been blessed with an angel name. Many angel names end with, begin with or include the letters el in their names. El is also an indication of resonance with the Elohim which is an aspect of the creator god/goddess angelic realm. Examples are names such as Rachel, Michael, Isabel, Ella, Sam-
uel, Mirabelle, Jewel, and Eleanor. Earth Angels are drawn to my energy practice because I am an Earth Angel myself, but also because, I teach Integrated Energy Therapy practitioner courses and healing angel classes. IET is a heal-ing modality which directly inter-faces with the Healing Angels of the Energy Field. These angels are Ariel who is the overseer of IET, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Celes-tina, Cassiel, Sarah, Daniel, and Faith. Each Angel works specifically with a chakra area or an organ sys-tem or both. In an IET session, we release the emotions of guilt, shame, distrust, threat, shoulds, heartache and betrayal, anger, resentment, stress, disempowerment, and fear. We imprint the energies of inno-cence, trust, worthiness, spiritual confidence, support, unconditional love, freedom, forgiveness, ease and empowerment, and safety.

THE MESSAGE: JUST ASK! I have been blessed to have met many Earth Angels in per-son. As I have become more and more familiar with the energy of the heavenly angels, I have been gifted with the ability to chan-nel in a reading setting. In this setting, the Angels have spoken to me these same words repeat-edly. “Please ask all the Earth Angels to call on us. Please tell them that we cannot help them unless they ask. Please tell them that it is the asking which makes us joyful and enlivened as heavenly angels. When the Earth Angels ask us for help
or guidance we are ecstatic because we have agreed to be here for this pur-pose. It is so much easier to be an angel on the heav-enly realms than to be embodied as an Earth Angel. We are here to help as that was our agreement before you incarnated. So, please remember to ask and ask and ask. We feel you, see you, and love you so much. We are here spe-

cifically to help you. It is our joy and our pleasure. Remem-ber our agreement, remember to lis-ten, and remember to ask. We are all in this together. We thank you for agreeing to take on the difficult job of incarnating as
Earth Angel beings. Our hearts are wide
open to you in love, joy, and gratitude. It is
you who has stepped up and out into the realm of
Earth and we are your helpers. Please know this and act upon this knowledge.”—In Gratitude with Love, Bonny Kraus (aka) Vohnnye Kaye

Angels guide us from peace to power
CAVORTING WITH ANGELS
E STILL. Breathe deep to connect to that peace. Peace dwells in the heart of
silence. Do you remember when you are in a tense con-versation or situation that you don’t have to respond or react? You can take a breath and make a choice as to what you want to do this time. You always have a choice. Peace brings stability into your life.
HOW CAN YOU BE STABLE WITH ALL THE CHAOTIC SITUATIONS AROUND YOU IN THE WORLD? Stability is easier if it comes from within and if you recognize that no one can shift you from that place unless you let them. The Angels have shared that we are so used to people controlling us that we just allow the same situations to have the same outcomes— even though we may not like the outcome of these encoun-ters. Choose not to be shifted.

Angels guide us from peace to power
CAVORTING WITH ANGELS
Choose a different outcome. Then you can have a more stable life. Sta-bility brings light into your life. Where there is light, there can be no darkness. Even a little light can make a darkened room bright. Do you feel like you are a light in the darkness? Just remember you are never alone. Your Angels are a part of your Soul and are always with you. To connect to them, think of them or call them forth. They cannot be sepa-rate from you so they will be there that instant. Connecting to your Angels raises the light that you nat-urally shine in your aura every day. This is a blessing to you and a blessing to all who come close by you, touch-ing your spiritual space. Light brings love into your life.
THE ONLY WAY TO LOVE OTHERS IS TO LOVE YOURSELF We love our families. We love our friends. But do we? By having peace, being more stable and expand-ing your light, you may see things differently. The Angels share that the only way to truly love others, is to love yourself. Do you love yourself now, this moment? Ask your Angels
for help in learning ways to love your-self more. Little things we change in our inner lives like this make huge changes in our outer world. Love brings power into your life. This power isn’t egotistical or controlling. This power is through the essence of love. The more you love the more of this kind of power flows through you. You can speak words of affirmations and they manifest in your life quickly. You can think and change the energy of your feelings instantly. You can make clear choices of what your experiences will or will not be and who they will or will not be with. You will not only think that we are all connected as One but you will know it.

CAVORTING WITH ANGELS
Artist paints angels and says “if you listen, they are speaking”
FTER 10 yea r s of pa int ing g ua rd ia n angel portra its for people I call myself “The Angel Artist.”
WHAT STARTED THIS EXCITING, REWARDING, AND WONDERFUL GIFT THAT I RECEIVED FROM ABOVE? When I was 20 years old, I had my first near-death experience (NDE) and traveled down the tun-nel and saw the very bright light sur-rounded with a peach color. Coming toward me were many people that I loved and had missed so much. “I am so happy to see you, and you, and YOU!” I said to all of them. It was so wonderful to be with them again! Then, came an angel with a beautiful box. She told me that I had to go back and do my mission. “No! I don’t want to go back”—but back up the tunnel I went. The angel said I won’t remem-ber my mission and I didn’t. I went on to have two more near-death experiences. I had to return to do my mission. Finally, shortly after my third NDE at the age of 60, a psychic
told me my mission: I was to paint the guardian angels for terminally-ill children in the hospitals. So, finally I knew and paint I did! I painted over 2,000 free angels for these wonder-ful children. Each child recognizing their angel. Finally, I broke down and decided I had to paint for all the peo-ple who asked for their angels done, too, but weren’t sick. I’ve painted more than 6,000 angels now. Here I am, doing what I truly love more than anything else in my world!
HOW DO I DO IT? I simply ask your angel to come through me and draw herself/him-self and they do! They tell me their name and give me a message for you that is pertinent for right now. The angels truly help us to connect to our higher self and give us guidance when we are at a loss. When you talk to them, you give them permis-sion to act for you and accomplish miracles where you couldn’t. ( Don’t forget to always so “Thank you” whenever you ask for something from your angels!) The angels have written a book and I have illustrated it. It’s called
How to Talk to Your Angel.....The Easy Way. It tells you just that. Also, it suggests a day of gratitude. Saying thank you for everything you take for granted and limit the amount of negativity that day. You will raise your vibration so that you can attract only the good things you desire so much. Try it one day. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but it defi-nitely will make a difference in your life.
PAY ATTENTION, YOU WILL HEAR THEM SPEAKING I am an artist and I channel angels. We all can talk with our angels. Just open your mouth start talking!! (That’s what it says in the book) You talk with them just as you talk to your best friend—because they are you best friend. They never criticize and always love you. What could be better? Listen to your angels by noticing the little things—a ringing in your ears or a knowing in your heart. Some people actually hear words, most of us get a “knowing.” Pay attention to that and as you practice paying attention, you will truly become “in tune”
