One of the most frequently asked questions I get as an Usui Reiki Master energy healer is “How do I connect with my angels and guides?”

Connection with my own angel team started as part of a big awakening, it happened naturally for me, but since then I’ve learned some tips from my angels and guides on how to both open and cultivate a greater connection with angels.

If you are trying to open the channel of connection or cultivate a stronger relationship with your angels and guides here are some of my top tips from an energetic perspective:

Ground your energy, and practice good energy hygiene (clear energy from you that is not yours).
Get your energy flowing with adequate hydration with water, moderate exercise or movement, and/or breath work before you meditate or connect.
Open the line of communication. Begin by stating clearly your intention to communicate and receive guidance from your angels, and to only connect with loving energy. Talk to your angels, or write in a journal, or learn automatic (channelled) writing to be a clear, open channel for their messages of love and guidance. Ask questions, keep the line of communication open from you to them, and from them to you by talking to them.
Schedule time each day to connect. A regular time for connection daily strengthens the relationship fast, it becomes a beautiful ritual and supports the feeling of inner safety.
Make space for it, literally and figuratively. Clutter in our our mind, body, and soul, and outer environment can impede the connection. Since everything is energy, less clutter means less energy interference. A cluttered space or crowded room makes it harder to connect.
Create a sacred space for connection, a place to sit and receive. Angels love the high vibrations and healing energy of crystals, which also raises our vibration, and they love bright colour. So, create a space that is clutter free, has a few of your favourite crystals (cleansed and charged) and some colourful favourite items that create a calming but uplifting, energizing space for you to connect.
Try not to lean heavily on seeking external guidance from outside sources. This signals a lack of trust in your own inner guidance system and innate ability to tap into your inner resources. Insights that come through your inner channel are tailor made for you, and you alone. It is unique to you and your journey, and brings in remembrance on a deeper level than external guidance. It doesn’t mean to never seek external assistance, but to learn to trust your own guidance system more.
Follow the guidance you receive, trust it. The line of communication can go quiet when we are not following the guidance we receive. It’s ok to question what you receive, and we have free will to choose whether we follow guidance, but if we continually ask for guidance but ignore it or don’t trust it, this sends a message that we don’t value or trust the connection, the support.
Angels are your peers, part of your team. As much as you are in awe of them, they are in awe of you, the one living through the challenges of the human experience. Remember to regularly offer your gratitude for the relationship you have with them and the unconditional love they have for you.

Things That Can Impede Connection To Angels

Fear - the emotions of fear, despair, depression, grief, feelings of powerlessness can block the connection. These are the lowest frequency emotions we can experience.
Lack of trust or belief
An overactive mind or overwhelming thoughts and anxiety, connection requires presence, stillness, a quiet mind

I developed the relationship with my angels and guides through a daily practice of oracle cards and self-Reiki. Reiki cleanses and opens the channels of inner communication on an energetic level, and oracle cards are a simple and beautiful visual aid that facilitates asking and receiving messages in a fun and comprehensible way.

If you are looking to create a daily oracle card practice, but don’t know where to begin, I created a resource that may be of help. My “Angels & Oracle Cards Guidebook”.

In this simple step-by-step guidebook I share the methods I work with in my own daily practice. I walk you through everything from how to cleanse your cards, create a sacred space, release fear around connecting with your angels, through to how to begin interpreting card numbers, words, colours, and images. All is designed to help you strengthen your own intuitive abilities and receive helpful insights daily.
