Learn visual messages from your guardian angel

Although guardian angels are constantly in the vicinity, they are usually invisible because they are spirits without physical bodies. When you contact your guardian angel through prayer or meditation, you usually won't actually see your angel, but sometimes they will physically manifest in front of you or send you visual signs or shadows of their presence with you.

Your angel will appear or send visual signs whenever it is necessary to better communicate the messages. Here are some ways you could see your guardian angel or clues to their presence as you pray or meditate:

Pure light
Most often, your guardian angel will appear visibly in the form of light, since angels contain energy that works within the light rays. Seeing flashes, streaks or spheres of incandescent light as you pray or meditate can indicate the presence of your angel.

Guardian angels usually appear as white light, the color you will see most often when communicating with them. However, another light color may appear. This may be because your guardian angel is sending you a visual message using a symbolic color of something you are communicating about, or because your guardian angel is asking another holy angel who works within the ray of light corresponding to the topic you have discussed to answer your prayer or meditation.

Here is what the different colors of the light rays represent:

Blue: power, protection, faith, courage and strength
White: the purity and harmony that derive from holiness
Green: healing and prosperity
Yellow: the illumination that God's wisdom brings to people's souls
Rosa: love and peace
Red: wise service
Viola: mercy and transformation

Shadows
You may see the shadow of your guardian angel while you are praying or meditating. Shadows usually appear as the outline of a nearby figure.

Symbolic images
Your guardian angel could send you a visual message about what you discussed causing an image that symbolizes a certain meaning to show for you in a vision. For example, if you prayed or meditated on one of your children, your guardian angel might send you a vision of that child to encourage you.

Pay close attention to the symbolic images that your guardian angel sends and ask your angel to clarify the meaning of those images to make sure you understand the messages they intend to convey. Keep in mind that specific numbers, colors, shapes and shadows you see can have symbolic meanings.

Dream images
If you spent time in prayer or meditation with your guardian angel before falling asleep, your angel may continue to communicate with you while you sleep.

Your angel may show you symbolic images, such as those you may see in visions while awake, or your angel may appear in your dreams. Usually, when your angel appears in your dreams, you will recognize the angel, even if you've never seen them before. You will have a clear and profound understanding that the figure you see is your guardian angel. Your angel can appear in your dreams in human form - as a wise teacher, for example - or in heavenly form, with a glorious and angelic appearance.

Physical manifestations
When your guardian angel is trying to communicate something particularly important to you, your angel can fully manifest himself in the physical realm and appear as a human being or as a heavenly angel, perhaps with wings.

You might be surprised if your guardian angel looks different than you might have imagined it. Let go of any expectation regarding your angel's size, features and clothes, so that those details don't distract you. Concentrate on enjoying the blessing of a visit from your guardian angel and the visual message that your angel wants to communicate to you.
