“Earth angels help others remember who they are.”
– Doreen Virtue.
What exactly is an Earth Angel?
Well, in one sense they’re what you might call “lightworkers”; people who’s purpose on this earth is to shine their light, heal others and help humanity to ascend and awaken spiritually.
They’re doctors, scientists, Reiki healers, comedians, teachers and even gardeners.
In the novel One Day by David Nicholls I feel the character of Emma sums up what it means to be an Earth Angel perfectly.
She says her goal is to “Not change the world exactly, but the bit around (her).”
That’s all any of us can really do and it’s important to remember on those dark days when the most empathic among us may feel the intensity of the pain, destruction, war and conflict of the world upon our shoulders.
But I also believe that Earth Angels can be Angels who incarnate and discarnate at will in order to help us.
You might have read stories of people who’ve been visited by Angels and saw a spectacular dazzling vision of light, a figure with halo and wings.
But I believe I’ve been visited by Angels who just looked like normal people.
When I hadn’t long moved to London I decided to go busking.
I’d just done some work with a spiritual mentor and handed over my will and my life to my Higher Power by saying a prayer by the Thames.
Then I crossed the river, whipped out my ukulele and started to play and sing.
But it didn’t feel right. I knew I was in a restricted zone so it technically wasn’t allowed. I saw every glance from passers by as an acknowledgment of my inadequacy or failure.
Then a man approached me, he didn’t look extraordinary, just a middle-aged slightly overweight man in a polo shirt.
Normally when people encroach on my personal space I feel very uncomfortable and nervous, especially when I’m busking.
But a wave of calm washed over me and I felt at complete ease in this man’s presence.
He said, “Why are you doing this?”
I assumed he was some sort of law enforcement and started to stutter my excuses.
He said, “No why are you doing this? You’re not giving it 100%. You’re slouched against the wall. I don’t know if you’re talented or not but you have to give it your best.”
Then I poured my heart out. I said I’d never busked in London before, that it was scary and out of my comfort zone. That I was afraid people wouldn’t like me or my music.
He said “There’s always going to be people who won’t like what you do. But why don’t you just try your best for 10 minutes.”
I agreed, looked away for a few seconds and when I looked back he’d vanished.
Later I rationalised that maybe he’d just walked away quickly and just got lost in the crowd.
But in that moment I knew it was a divinely special encounter.
Another time I was on a train and chatting about my relationship woes to a friend on the phone.
When I got up to leave the train this man came up to me and handed me a note.
He said, “I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation and it’s strikingly similar to my own experience. Have a read of this.”
I was a bit stunned but thanked him.
Later I read the note and it was startling how much his relationship mirrored my own. He’d left his e-mail address and I replied. The system kept saying it was un-deliverable but somehow he received every one of my e-mails even though I’d spelt his name differently each time.
I’m not sure if he was an Angel incarnate but the universe definitely mobilised him in that moment to reach out to me.
There were also various times when I ended up crying in public but someone always came up to me to ask if I was ok and took time to listen to me.
In a city as vast and busy as London, where many would have you believe that humanity is dead, this really struck me.
So be open to the magical encounters you may have in your life and consider, is that random stranger heaven sent or could they actually be an Angel in disguise?
