Colorful World of Angels
for the James Van Praagh Special Chat Area
I would like to begin by wishing everyone a very happy holiday season. This season more than any other, brings to mind thoughts of angels. There are many ways angels can enter our life. In times of great crises or great joy they can take the form of a human, although they are not, nor have they ever been, human.
We have all had encounters where looking back upon them, it was "who was that"? "Where did that person come from", or even, "where did they go"? Being human, we would love to remember these angelic beings as looking human, and history has reinforced that vision through ways such as: pictures in spiritual, religious and historical books, or the angel atop the Christmas tree...whatever reminds you that angels exist is wonderful, and angelic encounters are not soon forgotten.
What of the person, however, who didn't see that blonde haired, blue eyed young woman that you thought was an angel. What if they only saw a huge orb of shimmering color? More than likely, that too was an angel. Both visions are accurate, because your angels reflect you. Angels reflect your feelings, thoughts and beliefs. If you need your angels to have wings, they very well may have wings! This has never been my personal experience with angels, however.
For the most part, they show themselves to me as energy beings of light and color. During spiritual or religious holidays such as Christmas, bodhi day, kwanza, or Hanukkah, we tend to become more aware of the presence and significance of something outside of ourselves. More often than at any other time of the year, angels are addressed as having significant importance.
However, angels don't need a holiday or even a religion to connect with us... they are as close as your next thought, as much a part of you as your next breath, and stand by ready and willing to be that gentle voice of reason in the back of your mind.
Tonight I would like to speak to you about my experiences with angels and their language of color. This information I know as my truth.
If it resonates with you as well - wonderful. If it doesn't - that is okay too. Not everyone shares the same beliefs. We are individual and unique, and so are our beliefs. Angels speak to me both telepathically and through the language of color.
As a child we are often asked what we want to be when we grow up. I never imagined it would be and angel interpreter and artist. Had I had any foreknowledge of this ability, I am sure I would have sabotaged it in some way. The angels keep me informed on a need-to-know basis for the most part!
The work with color started at childhood, but it was only about 5 years ago that the angel artwork began. One day while reading for a client, I said to her "i wish you could see your own angels and how beautiful they are". Then, that small voice inside said "pick up a pen and draw us for her". That was the beginning of what is now, an extensive gallery of drawings.
Through thousands of sessions, they have trained me to understand the messages they want to convey, as I am drawing them for their human charges. Each color has a meaning and a flavor, each stroke or direction that the pencil flies, tells volumes. During our time together tonight I will discuss this phenomenon, and how it has affected my life.
I came to know angels through my first nde, a near drowning incident when I was 5 years old. I won't go into detail with this tonight, as previous chats on jvp's site are logged for easy reference and further information. I have had 4 near death experiences, the last being in 1986, when I was giving birth to my last daughter. I don't talk a lot about these experiences, as I feel they are not the main focus of my being here.
Angels and my experiences with them, however, are the very reason I still live today. I sincerely believe that my introduction to angels at such a young age was to teach that everyone could have this direct link and communication to these divine beings.
You do not have to be a mystic, a super psychic, or even spiritually based, to access them. In fact, you don't even have to believe in them! They can exist without your conscious belief, as your higher self (soul) already knows them from eons past.
Many of you have heard me say, that when revived right after my near drowning, I saw aura-like glows around people, much like when you get too much chlorine in your eyes from a swimming pool. Most of us have had such visions, and with a few quick eye blinks, the world is righted and all is well.
In my case, however, no amount of blinking, eye rubbing, or head shaking would clear that vision. I thought I was going blind (now remember, I was 5 years old, raised in the mountains of west virginia, and no one could explain the "glowing globs of color" to me)! What transpired within moments of this life-changing event, were actual movements of the "globs".
It is more than a bit frustrating when you can see something others cannot, especially as a child. Many thought I had lost my mind, or was "touched" (i.e. southern country lingo for mentally ill). Within weeks of the near drowning, those globs began to change form right before my very eyes.
They stood about five to six feet tall around every individual, animal, and sometimes even inanimate things like a mailbox or a car. They would grow taller, wider, shorter, and narrower, based on the person I was speaking to (or whom was addressing me). You could say I had my own private little show going on that others apparently could not see. My "invisible friends" looked very much like the tied dyed shirts that were so popular during that time.
How many times in the past have I wished that I could see angels with a 10 foot wing span, with beautiful names and glowing faces, and with melodic voices as they sing words of love to me. nope, not me! I get a box of crayons that require a great skill at charades and trial and error in order to comprehend.
I still see them of course; only at this point in my life (36 years after the first encounter) they do not distract me as much...
That is not to say that they have become commonplace for me. how could such a miracle be commonplace? I have merely learned to live with seeing them all the time, and still remain productive in our "real" 3rd world.
I know many of you in this chat tonight are also 'seers', 'sensitives', and have that inner 'knowing'. Becoming comfortable in the current real world, while using your gifts, is necessary to be productive. Yes, each time I go to the market I see the cashier Linda with her 5 wonderful angels helping her, comforting her, guiding her and encouraging her.
I see mack the butcher with his 3 angels... betty in the bakery with her 6 angels... and, they all look basically the same as those I spoke of earlier, glowing globs of opalescent multicolor. That is, until I focus. Then the metamorphous occurs...
...suddenly Linda's (the cashier) angels turn into a rainbow of color! One angel situates itself to her right, and becomes a soft glowing pink and speaks of gentle self-love. Her second angel takes on several shades of green, and hints at a financial change that is coming into her reality very soon, as it stands right behind her.
This green angel's color is somewhat faded, indicating that this financial change is just starting to form and manifest in her life, more than likely in the form of a new job! Then to her left is a glowing red and orange angel. This could mean her passion is coming alive again in the future!
By adding up all the parts of this puzzle together, we can conclude that: linda is bored silly at her job, is beginning to think of putting her own needs first, and is starting to look at future employment opportunities. Two additional angels reside to her left as well.
More often than not, I see 3 angels around people; that seems to be the status quo (if there is such a thing when speaking of angels). There are times in all of our lives that we need a bit of additional attention from the universe. Perhaps we need more support, or love, or direction, or clarity. Whatever the case, linda seems to need them.
These additional angels I call "breezer angels", as they "breeze" into your life and offer their gifts to you until the situation (good or bad) no longer requires their assistance. Then they mist away to return another day when they may be needed.
We have an infinite number of angels to draw from at any given moment. Please never think you are limited to just 3. If you need angelic assistance, simply call them to you - it is your birthright! The 3 angels I speak of, are your 'core group'. This core group interacts with you daily, and being reflective opalescent beings, they reflect the energy you are going through, as well as what is needed in your life.
When I speak about angels and color, oftentimes people think that I am speaking of the energy field that surrounds people known as auras and, I am not. Although they could look somewhat the same, there is a vast difference and a great guide to determine if you are seeing angels or auras.
In my workshops, we practice a little exercise that I will share with you to try, at a later date. So instead of a meditation, as I have done in the past, we will give you this instead:
ask someone to stand against a white colored wall with his or her arms extended. Sit about 10-15 feet away from them.
allow your eyes to either go out of focus, or if that is impossible, focus on their shirt.
in your peripheral vision, you will begin to see an ultra white space surround their arms, their head, their entire being. (Not to worry if you don't get it right off the bat, practice does make perfect). That is what I see when I see an aura.
now ask that person to call in an angel by simply stating "I call forth the angel of *insert name here*..." It could be the angel of communication. The angel of finance is also common. The angel of happiness can also be called.
call each of these slowly, and watch the colors enter the energy field from outside of the person coming toward the person you are looking at. Against that white wall, coming closer into that ultra white space you will begin to see color!
Why do I say this is not an aura change? Simple, it comes in from the outside of the person demonstrating for us. I would think if it was an aura, it would reflect from the person - and it would then move outward. So, as you can see from this very simple exercise, there is indeed a difference.
I completely learned this from watching JVP actually. Some time ago (years) JVP was giving a workshop in Baltimore, MD. He was speaking on stage and preparing to do readings from the audience. I saw a green aura light come out from him and it extended about 30 feet or so. Then a golden light came in towards him. It stayed that way for about 10 minutes as he spoke his presentation. Then I watched a shadow come up behind him and whisper in his ear. He began the reading.
The same way the deceased came into his presence, his spiritual space to whisper to him, so did the golden angel. From the 'outside,' coming 'into' his space. So, now we can see that it is possible that the angels come into us with a great deal of reflective color, (meaning they get their color from that which you are processing, in need of, or giving away energetically).
How can you tell what angel is working with you? Simple. Look around. Now, I want to stress again to those coming in late to the chat tonight, that what I am sharing with you is my truth. Each of us has an inner bell of truth. If it rings true with you keep it as your own newfound knowledge; it is does not ring true with you, toss it away.
Because angels are a race unto themselves, they do not act and/or perform as humans do. They do not carry on as guardian spirits (which can be your deceased that have chosen to work with you), or even as a spirit guide(s) (may have lived before but were assigned to you to assist in your life growth opportunities). They speak in other ways, with their own languages.
Sometimes it can be a sign (i.e. every time you look at a digital clock it says 11:11, or 12:12 or 2:22 or 1234, etc.) we get messages everyday this way. The simplest way to interpret the angels is by noticing the color around you. What colors may have quickly become your favorite, or what color(s) suddenly does nothing for you?
Let's look at the angel's language of color. Over time and through thousands of drawings, I began to receive knowledge of what colors mean what energy as I channeled them during the consultations with my clients. I found that each drawing is interpreted by color, stroke action, and where the angels are positioned on the paper. I will only cover color tonight, although this is only a small part of each drawing and each reading.
Being clairaudient, I ask my clients to say the alphabet. This allows me to ride upon the waves of their voice into their vibration. I begin to focus on only that person and their angels. They begin to turn to color, to shape, to form.
First there is the "hue", or the main color. This is the main strength of color. For example - blue. Then there are the 'tones' or 'tints'. These are various shades, which mean various things. Let's consider a blue angel in one of my drawings.
If they tell me to add tones that are more of a navy blue, this often means there are legal issues and/or something governmental that they wish to discuss. (Remember where the angels are drawn on paper, also tells volumes as it indicates if this was the past, present or future events).
A royal blue tinting or tone, would tell us our client communicates very well and would do very well with writing, sales, public speaking and perhaps even channeling. A light blue speaks of healing energy, perhaps the client has been ill, or do they themselves work in a medical setting?
Although many people associate green as the healing color in auras, because of its association to the heart charka, the angels have selected light blue to reflect either healing taking place, or that the client has the ability to tap into the energies of being a healer. A teal blue indicates openness and compassion (when mixed with a shade of peach).
So you can get a quick idea that with every color meaning something, angels can get very specific. Imagine mixing, light blue (medical or healing), teal blue (openness), and shades of royal blue (communicator)... can you see that this could be a doctor, or perhaps a hospice nurse who teaches families to communicate in a better way?
Granted this is just a glimpse at a few pieces of a very colorful puzzle, but nonetheless we can begin to see the pattern.
I am going to give you a brief listing of what some of the angelic color fields are:
Green - finance
Lime green - new financial growth
Forest green - rich in knowledge and finance
Yellow - intelligence
Yellow/orange - happiness
Light yellow - contentment
Red (blue toned) - passion
Red (yellow toned)- temperament
Red & blue mixed - friendship
Brown (yellow toned) stability
Brown (red toned) travel
Hot pink - children
Hot pink & Kelly green - teaching children
Hot pink & light blue - healing children
Now, this is a very small listing of some of the information they have shown me.
At this point, begin to take a look at your own world. Did you redecorate your bedroom recently? If so, what color(s) did you surround yourself with? Your car? (It is known that more geniuses choose a dark (forest) green car than any other). Are you being drawn to a certain color of clothing right now? I myself have been purchasing brown shirts, pants, purses, etc. this is for the first time in my 41 years! This was a huge swing for me.
Now the tones I am choosing are the browns with red tones meaning - travel. I think I am preparing my psyche for more travel. So, changes are significant when discussing color, and especially when we are addressing how angels use color to communicate with us.
If you visit my website, take a few moments to view my art gallery, there about 300 or so of my drawings for clients. Each one is unique and says something. Take the information you learned tonight and see if you can begin to interpret the colorful world of angels.
There is so much more I would love to tell you about the angelic color fields, but I will leave you with this - we are completely made up of color, it is a universal language. After all, we are called - "hue-mans". Angels are very literal - when you say it they think you mean exactly what you are saying. Thank you so much for allowing me to speak to you tonight about my favorite subject, angels.
May each and every one of you have the happiest of holidays!
