What Seeing Angels Means
There are many reasons why someone may see or have contact with an angel.
Most people have two to three guardian angels that watch over them.
Seeing one of your guardian angels may mean they have a message for you or they are trying to help you.
How Angels Help You
Angels assist people in many ways. They may assist people with:
- Love and compassion
- Protection
- Healing
- Understanding
- Abundance
- Intuition
However, when you see an angel, it may not look like the angelic being depicted in works of art or what you may imagine in your mind.
What Angels Look Like
Angels are beings of light and represent the belief of Divine love and light shining down on you.
However, angels usually do not appear as humans, they are genderless, and they are without judgment.
Angels can take on almost any appearance, and there are signs that you are seeing an angel, although it may not be obvious to you.
Some signs that an angel is near you are:
- Numbers – When numbers appear to you in patterns, such as 10:10 or 222, then that is one of the first signs an angel is trying to contact you.
- Feathers – Finding feathers in unusual places could be a sign an angel is trying to communicate with you.
- Coins and pennies – When you find shiny coins, that could be an angel telling you to keep going and that everything will be fine.
- Rainbows – Seeing rainbows without rain is a sign an angel is present.
- Cloud shapes – If clouds appear in shapes of symbols, like flowers or hearts, then those are signs from your angels.
- Feelings of being touched – If you experience a tingling sensation down your spine or feel as if someone is touching you, then that is an indication high vibrational beings are contacting you.
- Scents – If you smell pleasant aromas, especially flowers, that could be a sign from an angel.
- Flashes of light – Since angels are beings of light, seeing flashes or sparks of light from the corner of your eye is a sign an angel is near you.
