Présentation de l'éditeur
Angels have been with us in every time and culture, and in many religious traditions. Ask Your Angels vividly chronicles how they are currently reaching out to every one of us in a totally new way, bridging our physical reality with their pure spiritual energy. From historical writings and widespread contemporary experience that includes their own workshops, the authors show us how we can draw on the power of angels to reconnect with our lost inner selves and to achieve our goals, whether they be better relationships, healing an illness, or recovery from addiction
To align with the angelic energy field, you will use five simple steps, as well as exercises, meditations, and visualizations, to learn how to talk with your angels—in your mind, in letters, in dreams, on a computer—and ask their guidance in matters from the inspired to the mundane.
From Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel to the angels of birth and death, from the Earth Angel to the guardian or companion angel who is your personal teacher, comforter, and intimate friend, this guide will introduce you to humor, wisdom, and companionship that come from contact with angels, for they are a doorway to the Divine within us.

Prologue
You are driving on the interstate across the great southwestern desert. It’s night. In the focused beams of your headlights you see a large metal tire iron falling from the tow truck thirty yards ahead of you. It bounces once and hurtles straight for your windshield. Feet away, it simply disappears.
It happened to Carolina.
You’re traveling in your station wagon with a friend beside you. It’s late, you’re tired, and you’ve been driving hard for hours. The snow has stopped falling, but there are slippery patches of ice on the road. Suddenly, while you both watch, frozen in horror, the eighteen-wheeler in front of you jackknifes. Then everything seems to be happening in slow motion. You, your dumbstruck companion, and your heavily laden station wagon are sailing out over the median, right over the two opposite lanes of oncoming traffic. You’re deposited on the other side of the freeway, so gently that nothing and no one is damaged, facing back in the direction from which you came.
It happened to Sara and her friend.
Joe never could explain it, however many times he’d run it through his mind afterward. Something about the entire event made him feel acutely uncomfortable, as if he’d been wholly, unreasonably privileged. Saved for an unspecified destiny.
It happened in Vietnam. Joe was working in a shed in the camp’s ammunition dump when an enemy mortar scored a direct hit. The shell demolished the dump. One hundred and eighty-four men died—but Joe walked out of it untouched.
Three true examples of mysterious happenings—incidents that defy rational, logical explanation. Our culture would have us believe that angels don’t exist. But Carolina, Sara, and Joe know that angels do exist. Angels saved their lives.
Angels don’t only show up in life-threatening situations. They’re with us all the time. Polly saw an angel in her kitchen, on a sunny afternoon when she was baking cookies for her kids. And Ben’s been talking to angels since his grandmother first told him about them in 1957.
Perhaps when you were young, you were in touch with your invisible friends but weren’t believed and learned to keep silent after that—and forgot. Almost everyone has had a mysterious, unexplained occurrence in his life. Your story may not be as dramatic as the first three examples we’ve given. Or you may not even think you have a story. But the angels come into our lives in different ways. If you’ve picked up this book, the angels have already touched you. And this is the beginning of your story.
