Climbing the stairway to heaven

Hello Darling,
In this blog, I explain a little bit about communicating with the angelic realm. Many people get frustrated with themselves, or with their angels and spirit guides, when they cannot get a clear connection and are unable to get the messages and guidance that they so desperately want to receive. They don't understand why their angel can't just appear in front of them and talk plainly. They don't understand why some people have a stronger connection than they do. There can be many reasons for why we struggle with spirit communication but the one reason that it is NOT is because your angels are not trying to communicate with you.
Your angelic team are ALWAYS at your side, constantly guiding you, nudging you, steering you away from harm. They cannot interfere with your free will though, so if you're determined to get yourself in harm's way, you'll do just that. Your angels will then work to get you the help and support you need to get out of it -- if you choose to!
As far as communication goes though, the reason why we can't simply see and hear our angel friends in the same way that we can our human friends is that they exist at a completely different frequency.
To give you an analogy, imagine a heavy rock sitting at the bottom of the ocean floor. In this environment, the water is thick and heavy, movement is slow but the pressure of the deep water is no problem for the rock. Now, imagine that this rock wants to 'talk' to one of the seagulls flying high in the sky above the sea. This bird is light and swift, gliding on the warm and cool currents of air. Swooping through the air, the bird is agile and moves with a free fluidity. This beautiful creature is not better than the rock at the bottom of the ocean, it is simply existing in a completely different environment.
We humans are like the rock and the angels are like the graceful seabirds. To bring the two closer for better communication, one must rise and the other must lower and slow down. It is not easy for either as they are created to exist in their respective environments. If the seagull does manage to dive into the water, it can only go down so far and only stay down so long before it must go back up for air. If, somehow, the bird was taken to the bottom of the ocean where the rock easily exists, the pressure of the water would kill it.
When we get frustrated with our unsuccessful attempts to 'hear' the messages of our angels, it is like rock sitting on the ocean floor getting upset that it cannot 'hear' the flapping wings of the seabirds flying high above the ocean.
So what is the answer for humans seeking angelic closeness and communication? It is an ongoing process of becoming 'lighter'. Sloughing off the 'heavier' energies of depression, anxiety, greed, vanity, blame, anger... through personal self-healing work. As you release these denser energies, your frequency lifts. Divine energy can more easily flow through your chakra and meridian system. This opens your communication channels to higher realms. The more you 'lift your spirits' the more you open yourself up to these realms.
There are a number of techniques you can use to help you lift your vibration, many of them I teach on my angel workshops (email me at zoehenderson@hotmail.com to find out about upcoming workshops near you). Here though, are some exercises to get you started. Practise an exercise like the below daily:
1. Sit in stillness
All you do is sit comfortably, ideally with your back straight, your eyes closed, with no disturbances. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Spend that time just observing your breath going in and out. When your mind wanders (and it will), simply notice it, smile and go back to your breath. 
2. Sit in the power
Again, sit comfortably, set a timer for 10 minutes, close your eyes and imagine taking your consciousness about 300 feet above your head. Imagine a bright ball of beautiful light. Go into this light. Let it infuse your whole body. Imagine yourself sitting in this ball of bright light and see it extend six feet around you in every direction. 
3. Tune in to your body
​Your whole body is like an antenna for energy. This is why, when we quiet our thoughts, we feel things in our heart, our bones, our stomach. If you need guidance about something in life, allow your angels to communicate through your body. Quiet your mind, think of this thing and notice the sensations in your body. Does your stomach clench with anxiety? Does your breathing speed up, which is a sign of stress? Does your heart feel brighter and joyful? Do you get goosebumps, aka 'truth bumps'? Do you get a tingling up your spine? This is all communication. Ultimately, your heart knows the way, run in that direction. 
4. Do more of what makes your heart sing
When we 'lift our spirits' we are closer to the angels. For example, you could spend time with an animal, you could lay on the grass and watch the clouds, you could laugh with friends or play peekaboo with a baby, you could be creative (art, pottery, baking, crafting, painting, knitting, writing) or you could move your body (cycling, walking, motorbike riding, dancing, rollerblading...). What in life makes your heart feel lifted? Do more of it. 
Let me know how you get on! Leave me a comment below.

Lots of love, Zoe xx
