I’ve worked with angels in my practice for a while, mostly for things like saying a quick protection prayer or clearing the energy in my home. To be honest, I’ve never felt a particularly strong personal connection to the archangels. It’s not that I doubt their presence, but in my own spiritual life, they’ve felt a bit distant. The general angels, on the other hand, have been wonderful allies, especially when I’m charging my crystals. There’s a gentle, supportive feeling there that just works for me.
One thing I truly believe is that we can’t force higher beings to help us. It’s more about being open and asking. For example, there have been a couple of times when I felt Jesus step in to offer comfort or a solution, which was surprising since I don’t consider myself Christian. Other times, when I’ve consciously asked for help from a particular ascended master, I’ve felt their support come through clearly. I think the guidance we receive often matches what we actually need in that moment. Sometimes a general guide is perfectly sufficient, and there’s no need to call on a more specific archangelic energy.
I also remember buying some aura cleansing sprays years ago that were infused with the energy of different archangels. Those sprays had a unique strength to them! They felt incredibly potent and effective, much more so than other similar products I tried later. It was a good reminder that spiritual tools, like those sprays or the beings we call on, really depend on that sense of alignment. What resonates and works for one person might be different for another, and that’s perfectly okay. It’s all about finding what supports your own path.
