Is my mum my guardian angel?

Is my mum my guardian angel?

Dear Lyn
I've recently been told that my mum who died 25 years ago, is my guardian angel, can you tell me if this is really true?

Throughout my life many close relatives have died and I feel very lonely a times. I've been told that I shouldn't be as someone in the spirit world is always close by me, but I don't feel anything. What's wrong with me,as I feel unable to pick up that someone is close by.

It wouldn't do if everyone was the same with their sensitivities and attitudes. Some people are able to pick up when loved ones in spirit are close, and others can not. It doesn't mean that one lot of people aren't as on the ball as others, they're all just different. Neither does it mean that your loved ones aren't there, just because you may not have that particular type of sensitivity.

The fact is that those who've been close to us in loving relationships here on earth, especially perhaps mothers, are able to continue that loving and naturally spiritual relationship after they've passed to the world of spirit, or the heavenly realms. Guardian angels tend to be appointed from birth, but your Mum would certainly be counted as a guide and helper since her passing.

Sit in a quiet place - a garden, park, or on the beach - and close your eyes. Say a little prayer such as:

Dear God,
Thank you for all the blessings I have received in my life, and the love I have known. Thank you for the mother to whom I was born and for the love we shared and still share. (Then add any other thoughts for others). Then close with 'Amen'.

Staying in that mood, imagine your Mum coming to speak to you. Visualise how she looked when she was well and happy. Allow yourself the emotion. After about five or ten minutes say another little prayer of thanks. You should feel a whole lot better.

Every blessing.
Lyn
