How To Have An Angel Encounter
By Dr. Doreen Virtue 

We all have angel encounters continuously, but many people aren’t aware of these occurrences. They can be subtle, that’s for sure. So we’ll explore how to bring your heavenly connections to the level of conscious awareness. When you are aware of the presence of your angels and deceased loved ones, you’ll enjoy and benefit from them more.

If you desire to have contact with your angels, deceased loved ones, or an ascended master, here are some tips

Most people have some ambivalence about contacting heaven. On the one hand, they desperately want to see an angel or departed loved one. But they concurrently fear seeing a frightening image. "Will I be opening myself up to seeing dark beings? Or will my deceased loved one look ghoulish?" they worry.

Ultimately, this is a fear of losing control, along with a fear of being frightened. But most heavenly encounters are positive, happy experiences. You won’t see frightening images when your angel or deceased loved one pays you a visit. While it is true that there are "unsavory" beings in heaven, they are a slim minority compared to all the magnificent angels and guides constantly swimming around us on the etheric plane.

One of the greatest angels of all, Archangel Michael, can prevent you from having a frightening encounter. All you need to do is mentally ask him, "Archangel Michael, please escort away from me, anyone who is not my angel, guide, or a being who expresses God’s Divine light." Michael needs to receive this sort of explicit request, because God’s Law of Free Will prevents Michael from helping us unless we ask.

It is important to clear fears out of the way, because they can prevent you from having a heavenly encounter. Ambivalent people are putting one foot on the gas pedal, and one on the brakes simultaneously, which keeps them from moving forward.
