I didn’t give much thought to angels growing up. I left church at twelve because the Catholic teachings made me cringe. So you can imagine my surprise when a psychic told me in 2003 that I had angel dust coming out of my hands. What?

I wasn’t amused, but in a way it planted a seed in my mind that earth angels might exist, just not me. 

Fast forward a year or so and I decided to train in reiki. I attended a reiki one workshop and a girl who trained with me claimed she was an earth angel. She was bitter and quite negative and she monopolised the attention of the group for the entire weekend. I wasn’t impressed. If that was what an earth angel looked like, I didn’t want to meet any. 

Then I came across Doreen Virtue’s books on angels. She had severa: Angel Therapy, Healing with the Angels, the Lightworker’s Way, and even one on Earth Angels. She also produced the most exquisite angel oracle cards. I have several of her decks. But that did not convince me either. It was just a nice idea. And I hadn’t met an earth angel yet either. 

It is only a few years ago, as I was walking the streets of London with a person I know very well, when suddenly, I looked at her back and saw wings. Energetic wings. This took me by surprise for two reasons. The first reason is that I don’t consider myself clairvoyant and very rarely see things, so that was definitely something unexpected. The second reason is that the person I saw with wings was not a lightworker, a healer, or a psychic. They are a highly regarded professional in the corporate finance industry. And the New Age movement certainly never talks about earth angels having these sorts of jobs. I liked it. I like a good paradox, or at least something that commands you to think differently. 

As you can imagine, from there, the idea that there could be earth angels presenting as lawyers really appealed to me. I just had to wait to meet one. 

So what are the signs that someone might be an angel in disguise (for real)?

  1. They are here to serve humanity (although they might not know it themselves)
  2. They can have compassion for people that you and I really struggle too feel compassion for
  3. They have brilliant energies that can shift a room
  4. They love to help people with no strings attached
  5. They always look for a better way to do things
  6. They always see the good in others
  7. Being in their presence instantly uplifts you
  8. They want everyone to win
  9. They don’t like to be the centre of attention
  10. They are very bad at asking for help and often neglect themselves

But they are also human and make mistakes. And for them, being human is way more challenging than for us because Earth school is rough. 

I have a job for you. I want you to observe around you to find out if you know an earth angel from the list of points above. And if you do, I want you to go give them a big hug. And then I want you to go to my article on Medium that asks whether lawyers can be angels, and in the comments share a story about that earth angel with us. Here is a link to my profile on Medium
