Kim's Angel Stories:

Angels of the Sea

(Submitted to Doreen Virtue for possible inclusion in an upcoming book)

Some of my earliest childhood memories involve mermaids. When adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I mainly answered, “A mermaid!”, although sometimes I would change it up by saying, “A siren”. I loved being in the water, so much so my family likened me to a fish. As a kid I would spend hours in the ocean or sitting at the bottom of a pool. I truly believed I could breathe underwater and communicate with whales and dolphins. I found such peace being immersed in water. Being a mermaid was as real a goal to me as any other. That is why I crushed to discover that humans didn’t actually believe in merpeople. The mermaid, like the unicorn and other magical beings, was relegated to the domain of fairy tales. My connection with the mystical mer realm diminished with time until I had all but forgotten my ‘childish’ whim.

Many years later, I was visited by angels, and they directed me to Doreen Virtue's Angel Therapy online show. I quickly discovered, to my utter delight, that Doreen was a fellow mermaid at heart. At this time, old memories began to surface of previous incarnations as a mermaid, most notably in Atlantis. I went on to become an Angel Therapy Practitioner®, and now I work with angels of all realms, including the beautiful sea angels called mermaids. I was thrilled to discover than my mermaid career goal was indeed realistic. That is why I happily share my mermaid story with my clients as a way of demonstrating to them that magic is real, and that our childhood memories, no matter how improbable, hold the key to our life’s purpose.

Archangel Ariel Helped Create Our Healing Centre

This is the first in Canadian Angels: By Your Side, by Karen Forrest.

Archangel Arial was instrumental in helping us establish our healing centre. When it looked as though we wouldn't get the necessary development permit, Kim called on the angels for help. Suddenly, floating above the head of the town planning officer, appeared Archangel Ariel in all her splendour. The planning officer suddenly switched gears; he went from arguing against our proposed healing centre to arguing in favour of it.

Lesson: Don't be afraid to call on Ariel for help with your own holistic, spiritual or artist ventures.

Archangel Raphael Helps Overcome Fear of Dentists

This story appears in Doreen Virtue's Archangels 101 book on p.p. 32-34.

Two weeks ago, I visited my dentist for my semi-annual cleaning. I wasn’t looking forward to this appointment given that my past few check-ups left me near tears. I am fortunate to have been blessed with beautiful teeth, but my gums have started to recede in recent years. As a result of exposed roots, I experience a lot of pain during cleanings. On top of that, my diligent brushing and flossing seemingly have had no effect on stemming the onset of peritonitis. To add insult to injury, my flossing habits are always called into question by hygienists. Having to repetitively prove that I floss after every meal, and then demonstrate that I floss correctly, is frustrating. So, as the appointment date approached, my anxiety level rose, and I started feeling ill. I seriously considered cancelling the appointment, changing dentists, or just not going to the dentist ever again; instead, I chose to call on Archangel Raphael, the healing angel, for help. I asked for a pain-free cleaning; a sympathetic hygienist, one who would actually believe me when I told her I flossed; and most importantly healthy gums and teeth. I really felt these wishes were pie-in-the-sky dreams, but I thought, “What have I got to lose?”

The date of the appointment arrived, and I set off with trepidation. I was told when the receptionist called to remind me of my appointment that they had relocated to a new building. As I entered their new locale, I was struck by the beautiful décor. The staff was very upbeat and the energy felt much better. I kept praying silently to Raphael to help with the appointment, and I could feel his presence and see his green energy nearby. Then, a hygienist, whom I had never met, entered the lobby, and I thought, “She looks so kind. Please Raphael, let her be my hygienist.” Sure enough, she called my name. I felt hopeful as I followed her down the corridor to her new office. She was soft-spoken and had a gentle, soothing manner that I found reassuring. It was only when she started to clean my teeth that I felt my anxiety return. I braced for the pain….and braced some more…but no pain was forthcoming. Eventually I allowed myself to relax. After she polished and flossed my teeth, the hygienist asked me about my flossing habits. Certain that she was going to question my credibility, I tensed again; instead, she complimented me on my flossing and brushing routine, and told me my gums were looking much healthier than my chart indicated. I was elated! For the first time in four years, I received a ‘passing grade’ at the dentist’s office. I felt the presence of angels, and heard them whisper to me that my hygienist was an Earth Angel. I asked her if I could request her in the future, and she said yes. I knew in that instant my dental woes were over! Archangel Raphael had fixed my gums and alleviated my growing phobia of dental care. Thank you, Archangel Raphael!

Lesson: Ask Raphael to heal you of all your emotional, mental and physical ailments.

Your Angel Stories:

Angel Names

I am a great believer in angels, and years ago, my mom told me that if you ask, you will find out what your angel's name is. Of course, I didn't believe her, but one quiet afternoon, I asked, "Guardian Angel, what is your name?" Well, clear as a bell, I heard my angel say " It's Pierre". I tried to distract my mind, and ask a couple more times, but the same answer was always clearly heard. Since then, I have asked the names of my children's angels names. They too came to me clear as can be.

The uncanny thing is that at one time, when we were living in Halifax, I asked for a Guardian Angel for my daughter. She was attending university, and there had been some assaults at night near the university. When I asked for hers, I said, “OK I need a very powerful angel for Renée...a bouncer...someone strong”. Guess what name was sent to me? Archangel Louis. "Oh my God", I thought, "My prayers are really heard. She will get an Archangel". I knew the Archangels were a cut above the regular angels...right? LOL!

My husband said he didn't think it would work for him to ask for his angel's name. He wanted me to ask for him. So when I did, it came out "Angel Luc". Later, on a trip, I wanted to drop into this little Church in Quebec, called St Anthony's, my buddy, my favourite Saint. (That’s another story.) The doors were locked. As we were walking away, a woman came out of nowhere, down the little hill, and asked, "Did you want to go inside?" We said, "Yes, we'd love to". She unlocked the door, and disappeared. Inside, the first thing we saw, up above, on the left, were 2 stained glass windows, with two Saints. Guess what their names were? Saint Luc and Saint Pierre, side by side. The names of *our* two Guardian Angels. I knew I had heard the names, loud and clear. Isn't that something? I now call them all "Archangels".

I know Archangel Louis is protecting Renée. This year, she hit a patch of black ice, on a curve. Her car plunged down head first, on a rock abyss, her car was totalled, and she escaped unhurt. This reminds me to start asking for the name of our four grandchildrens' angels.

Another time a friend really wanted me to find her angel's name. I said, "Well, you ask and so will I". I was so surprised later to find out we both heard the same name.

Archangel Michael Brings Message About Dying Father

"We often see orbs, blurs, shapes, lights, and lately images of animals. We live on a farm where the animals are ethically treated and loved. I created an animal awareness and rescue group also. Nature spirits abound here. Many people have had ethereal experiences here on the farm in the woods. A couple of weeks ago, my husband woke up in the middle of the night and looked out the window because he saw a bright light. There was a 10 foot angel on the woodpile. Kinda freaked him out at first but brought him a healing message about his dying father. We think it was Michael....the big guy himself. He was no little cherub that's for sure. None of this stuff makes us uncomfortable, we actually love it. Makes us feel blessed and safe. Course some people think we are odd but we're used to that."
