«You can pray to angels, and they will hear you, but the best way to summon them, I was told, is through laughter. Angels respond to joy because that is what they are made of.»
Michael Jackson
Our spiritual guides and guardian angels have many ways they use to convey messages to us.
Below I have listed those through which I have received answers from higher powers: from my spiritual guides and Higher Self.
Use any of them, or better yet, all of them, to establish a connection with the higher powers.
8 Ways to Recognize Answers from Higher Powers
I have counted 8 such ways. I don’t rule out that there are many more.
If you communicate with higher powers using other channels, please share them with us; we would be interested too.
Way 1. Repeating Numbers
The simplest and most common way angels communicate with us is through repeating numbers on clocks (11:11, 02:02), on car license plates.
If you know the meaning of the numbers, you can decipher the message.
In the articles How to Use Angel Numerology and What Car License Plate Numbers Mean we offer the meaning of each number.
Catch the thought at the moment you see the repeating numbers, read the meaning. And you will understand that this is a direct message for you, and maybe even a ready-made answer.
If you encounter the same numbers repeating too often, perhaps the angels are simply showing you that they are near and that you are on the right path.
Way 2. Signs
Another way to get answers from higher powers is through signs that you can define yourself.
At the initial stage of establishing a connection with spiritual guides and strengthening the belief that they are helping you, this method works well.
You ask a question to your Higher Self or angels, define a sign that will serve as a positive answer, and a timeframe within which you should see it.
If your answer is positive, you will see what you wished for.
Be honest with yourself and prepare for any answer. Choose a sign that is not encountered everywhere and in all circumstances.
It could be a natural phenomenon, a specific person, an action, anything, but something that actually exists and has a probability, albeit low, that you will encounter it within the time you have allotted.
You cannot deliberately search for signs or manipulate circumstances. Otherwise, you will deceive yourself. Allow the angels to give you the answer themselves.
In my time, I requested, in response to my question, to see a rainbow within a week for a positive outcome. If I didn’t see it, it meant it wasn’t worth investing energy into realizing that goal.
I did see the rainbow, even though it is a rather rare phenomenon.
Way 3. Books, Songs, Snatches of Phrases from TV, Radio, from Random Passersby
Sometimes you are tormented by a question, and then you accidentally hear a song on the radio or a snippet of a passerby’s phrase. And it’s as if you are jolted by an electric current.
Something seems to force you to hear that exact phrase.
Or, seemingly by chance, a certain book catches your eye in a bookstore or falls off a shelf, which later becomes decisive in your worldview and self-development.

5 Stories of How Angels Help in Life.
A few years ago, I went through a difficult period, you could call it a life crisis. I was in such despair, I didn’t know how to go on living.
I mentally stated that I was ready to work through the situation from start to finish using any acceptable method, but so that the kind of events that were happening to me would never occur in my life again.
I had a list of books I was planning to read, and my gaze fell on the book «Radical Forgiveness» by Colin Tipping.
I opened it and gave myself my word, even without knowing the methods it offered, that I would do all the exercises and apply in my life whatever the author advised, just so this string of misfortunes would stop.
That book became my salvation back then. That’s how my spiritual guides tried to reach me.
Now it’s clear that they had been sending me signals before, but I listened that particular time.
Often some insignificant event or even a single word can become a turning point in your life. I’m sure something similar has happened to you too.

Method 4. Receiving Messages in Dreams
Often the answers from higher powers come in dreams. Sometimes randomly. You wake up and realize you dreamed about something significant, something special.
But you can consciously use sleep as a way to communicate with angels.
Formulate a request, preferably in writing, so you don’t forget what you asked about after waking up, and go to sleep.
In the morning, try to remember what you dreamed. It might not work the first time, especially if your connection with angels isn’t established yet.
But after some practice, you will begin to receive answers from higher powers through dreams. And this method might become your favorite.
Method 5. During and/or After Meditation
This is one of the direct methods of communication, when you go into meditation with a specific request. In a meditative state, the mind slows down, and you can hear the voice of the soul.
If the mind is too restless or the question is burning, the answer may come after meditation, for example, within a day or a few days.
Sometimes angels need to create conditions for you to perceive the message.
Use any of the group meditations to establish a connection with your soul, your Higher Self.
Method 6. Insights
Any new thought, a flash of insight — is a message from above.
If a thought or idea that comes to you inspires you, and you feel it differs from others in its vibration, then it is the voice of the soul or angels.
In the normal waking state, the mind dominates. And the mind is guided by past experience; it cannot produce anything new.
When you expand your consciousness, you gain access to everything new — ideas, insights, discoveries.
Consciousness expands only when the heart is open. And the heart is a direct channel of communication with your higher aspects and spiritual guides.
Keep it open, and your connection with them will not be interrupted.
Method 7. Direct Contact with the Higher Self or Channeling
Some directly communicate with their higher aspects and spiritual guides, feeling them physically.
But there are people who receive channelings from higher spiritual entities.
We often refer to predictions from channeling sources: Ronna Herman and Celia Fenn (channels of Archangel Michael), Lee Carroll (channel of Kryon), Steve Rother, Lauren Gorgo, and others.
Most likely, such souls planned before incarnating into physical reality to become channels for higher angelic entities and transmit information to people.
This is one type of planetary service.
In other cases, if we do receive channelings, it is from our own higher self.
Method 8. Creativity
A more common way than the previous one to receive answers from higher powers is creativity, creating something new.
Nothing that a person creates belongs to them alone. All achievements in science, culture, inventions, and creative results are given to humanity from above.
A person who creates a work, like a channel, lets it pass through themselves and gives the world a result colored by their unique vibrations.
All creations are intended not only for their creators but for the whole world. This is how the universe and higher powers share their wealth with us.
The same music, work of art, or poem is perceived by each person in their own way, and they find their own answer, their own healing.
Communication through creativity is a universal tool that higher powers use to communicate with people. And it doesn’t matter whether you create yourself or are an admirer of others’ creativity.

As you can see, it’s all quite simple. We look for a miracle, but it has long been part of our reality.
It doesn’t matter which way you communicate with your spiritual guides; the main thing is that you feel from within that the incoming information is true, and you can catch the feeling of absolute knowledge — it’s unmistakable.
This is the true sign of feedback from higher powers and your Higher Self.
