It has been a great year in the blogosphere, easily setting a record for highest amount of traffic since RayHemachandra.com replaced the prominently indexed former static site Hemachandra.com, which closed at the end of 2011. (You can still take a limited peek at that site via the cool time travel mechanism the Wayback Machine.) I…
(Below are excerpts from two of my interviews with my friend Doreen Virtue, who also wrote for me as a columnist when I was editor in chief of New Age Retailer magazine. Doreen agreed to write that column for me out of pure kindness, and she always donated her author fees to worthy organizations. When…
(I invite you to read the post Ask Your Angels here, a richer and more recent excerpt from my interviews with Doreen that includes the short section below.) Ray Hemachandra: Would you talk about some of the specific archangels and what they do? Doreen Virtue: Absolutely! Archangel Michael is the angel to call on for…
Ray: Are there negative beings that correlate to angels? Do they exist? Doreen: Certain spirits can cause havoc in people — definitely yes. The main category is called earthbound spirits. These are people who have passed on while in the full throngs of active addiction. The addictions could be to substances, behaviors, or…
Ray: Doreen, you said when we are born angels are assigned to us. How do we develop relationships with these angels? Doreen: The first thing is to ask their names. When you are feeling really relaxed — say you’re outdoors in nature — close your eyes and pose the request to your angels: “Please tell…
Ray: Doreen, what are some signs angels give to let people know they are present? Doreen: One of the most common signs is seeing flickering or flashing lights with your physical eyes. You think you’re seeing Fourth of July sparklers or flashbulbs going off. Some people have had their eyes checked by eye doctors and…
Ray: Do you have to ask for help from the angels to receive it? Doreen: One thing I’ve learned that is basic but bears repeating constantly: You are created with free will. Not even the Creator can help you unless you ask for help. It is up to you to be asking for help continuously,…
Ray: Why do the angels do what they do, Doreen? Doreen: Because they love us. And it’s their assignment. They are direct, pure emissaries for God. Ray: For you personally, what is a conversation with an angel like? Doreen: For me, it’s very practical. I’m talking to the angels continuously, and I have no qualms…
Ray: What are some specific examples of prayers a person might use to call upon the angels for help? How does someone trying it for the first time language things? Doreen: I want to preface my response by saying that the angels don’t care what words you use. They appreciate the engraved, fancy prayers, but…
Ray: How can you first connect with the angels? Doreen: To have conscious communication with the angels — and I emphasize the word “conscious” because I firmly believe we all are continuously and unconsciously connecting with our angels, whether we are aware of it or not — you would start in a place you feel…
