  Introduction

  DEAR READER…

  The sun is shining down on the clear blue waters below, leaving a breath-taking glimmer, like diamonds on the waves. It’s not for the first time that I give a silent word of thanks to my angels for anchoring me here in Cornwall, England, at this challenging time on Earth. Many times my husband John and I park our car in the car park above the cliffs so we can watch the bedazzling sunsets: the sunlight splitting into orange, reds, pinks and purples, layering the sky like some exotic millefeuille, and finally coming to rest on the horizon before silently putting herself to bed.

  As I write this I am sitting on a rock overlooking the sea at Tintagel. Tintagel is on the north coast of Cornwall, and is associated with the mystical legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur’s castle itself can be reached by walking down the many steps from the top of the cliff; erosion over the years has meant that a bridge had to be built for locals and tourists to reach this magical place.

  Cornwall is one of the most magical places on Earth and I’m lucky enough to call it my home. The energy of this breathtaking location makes it easy for me to connect with my angels and guides. The blissful feeling I carry with me most of the time must surely be partly associated with this place of magic. Yet angels are everywhere: in the darkest of locations and the lightest of vibrations. They follow us to work and sit with us while we study; they’re with us wherever we roam, though they draw especially close when we request their help. Angels long to assist us as we go about our daily lives. Their roles are to help and protect us.

  In this exciting new book we shall explore together the angels’ roles and purposes; of course I shall illustrate everything with wonderful real-life stories, as I always do. Your very own magical encounters with these beings of light are sent to me from all over the world.

  Angels are real beings, not tales of make-believe. Normal everyday people have experienced moments of comfort from unseen hands holding theirs; a reassuring hug or hand on the shoulder from something invisible… and sometimes even a supportive voice from the darkness that whispers that everything is going to be OK.

  EARTH CHANGES

  Angels have always watched over their human charges, but gather close during times of change. Previously they have assembled in groups as countries have gone to war or during times of earthly tragedies like tornados and earthquakes.

  Our Earth is now going through a different type of transition. The energy of our planet is speeding up to a higher vibration; many of you can already feel this change happening in your own life. Our lives will be forever changed… but in a good way.

  BODY CHANGES

  Lots of us have found we can no longer eat foods that we’ve always been able to. Sugar, processed foods and household chemicals are causing problems in our lives. Allergies appear where they never have before. Our bodies are craving raw, natural, organic and pure foods and products. The less merchandise has been messed around with, the better – the more local a product is, the less distance it has to travel and the better for the environment. Shorter distances mean fewer lorries on the road, less fuel used and fresher produce. The country roads around my home are full of allotments, sectioned areas of land where people have moved right back to ‘growing their own’.

  Many of us are already noticing changes in our psychic abilities. How many times do you find yourself saying, ‘Oh, I was just thinking that too!’ or ‘I knew you were going to say that!’ More and more of our communication will be non-verbal. It’s as if our telepathic skills have been re-awakened. Most other races around the universe don’t rely on verbal communication at all. Ideas will be communicated to you from your guides and angels in blocks of information. Whole ideas will appear in your head in one go, and you’ll be wondering ‘Where did that come from?!’ Humans are going through a developmental change – it’s exciting!

  THE NEW CHILDREN

  Volunteers from around the galaxy have arrived to assist the new Earth. Sounds crazy? It’s real! Bear with me here. High vibrational and pure spirits have chosen to be born into our dense atmosphere here on Earth, because we need help. For too many years we’ve been leading the planet towards tragedy. We blow holes in the ground, poison the land, and experiment with chemicals and processes we have no right to. Waste is dumped at sea or buried on land, hidden but not forgotten. Wars, riots… what are we doing? It’s time to stop. Our extra-terrestrial and inter-dimensional brothers and sisters hold up their hands in horror at the damage we have already done to our precious planet. We will not be allowed to blow ourselves up. Can you imagine the far-reaching effects on other worlds (both seen and unseen
by us)? It’s not just us who will be affected by the damage! If our Earth explodes, it will affect first our own universe, then our galaxy and then other galaxies – like ripples on a pond. Who knows what damage we have already done to the worlds beyond our own?

  Just as in the TV series Star Trek, there is a code of non-interference followed by all those from other realms; what could our sky-friends do to help without interfering? They couldn’t just appear on the planet – that has been done before and previous generations of humans worshipped these beings as gods. (Look no further than the ‘myths’ and legends of ancient civilizations to discover when and where this happened.) Everything they taught us was misused – ancient technology was always turned into weaponry by the warrior human races.

  They (our soul brothers and sisters from other realms) decided to send in souls in ‘human form’; they have been born ‘as humans’ this time round. It was agreed that this was an acceptable way of making the changes needed to save the planet. These souls enter the body at birth, the same as other souls do. Many of our own children and grandchildren are part of this ‘volunteer group’. I wrote about these children in my book Angel Kids, if you’re interested in finding out more. Even if this sounds far-fetched to you, I feel sure you will sense the truth in what I am saying. This is no new-age mumbo-jumbo!

  Numerous parents, carers and teachers around the world have become aware of their children’s special abilities. These youngsters seem wise and knowledgeable in ways that others don’t. Lots of them have obvious psychic abilities, some simple and some extraordinary. In 1997, a book by Paul Dong and Thomas E. Raffill called China’s Super Psychics really laid out some of the extremes of the new wave of abilities. Many of these children formed part of the first wave of volunteers, testing the way for others to follow. Some of the people discussed in the book were born with their unusual abilities, others had abilities appear after accidents and illnesses (following a near-death experience or as a result of being struck by lightning, for example). Others developed their abilities through regular deep meditation techniques or through qi (energy or life-force) practices such as Qi Gong.

  One young girl was able to ‘read’ written words on pieces of paper zipped inside a pencil case. After seeing the Chinese character for ‘yellow dog’, she imagined outlining the shape, picturing going over it in her head. When the tester opened the pencil case the character had now been written for a second time on the paper… without the pencil case having been opened. A second test using the Chinese characters for ‘high mountain flowing water’ produced the same result with a second version somehow being psychically created by the child on the paper using her mind alone! This is mind-blowing, but it’s just the beginning.

  This story was posted on my psychic children forum:

  ‘My 10-year-old son has had an imaginary friend since he was about three; she’s called Gloria and he still chats to her and plays with her. I have always wondered if it’s his guardian angel or a spirit. Until a few years ago he used to read my mind and his brother’s, and reply to things we were thinking but hadn’t said. It used to scare his brother, but I found it fascinating. He also used to describe a little girl at my mother’s old house, and funnily enough my Nan, who was psychic but has passed now, described the same little girl. He no longer reads my mind but still has Gloria, his “imaginary” friend.’ – HELEN

  Researchers at a college in China’s Yunnan Province worked with several children to see if they could develop their psychic abilities further. After just one week, the group of five was able to read using their fingers, palms, toes and the soles of their feet. They would run their hands over the paper or stand on the words, absorbing them psychically and being able to translate the ‘sense’ of the words into actual words… as if they were reading them! How can a human being ‘read’ by just scanning the words using body parts and not their physical eyes? It seems impossible, yet it happened.

  In another experiment, four girls were given flower vases that were sealed inside containers. They were then asked to ‘pick’ a flower or flower bud (psychically, in their mind’s eye) to place in the vase. When the seals were broken to check on the success of the experiment, the girls had each filled the vases as requested. One girl’s vase contained a winter jasmine bud, another had a tree leaf, the third had a flower bud and the fourth a flower in full bloom! The test lasted half an hour but even more surprising was the fact that one of the testers noticed something unusual about one of the flower buds. He himself was the breeder of a rare type of tea; he had a plant he’d been growing for three years on his balcony at home and it had produced a single bud. When the tester got home, the bud had gone, selected through the mind power of the psychic child and transported psychically to the vase in the sealed container! Naturally he was both excited by the result and disappointed at his loss!

  Other psychic children showed abilities such as being able to open flower buds with their mind alone, bringing them into bloom. In 1993 and 1994 a film crew made a documentary about these psychic abilities called An Investigation of Life’s Extraordinary Phenomena. According to Paul Dong and Thomas E. Raffill’s 1997 book, this documentary became a series and was later made into 13 videos called Developing the Latent Powers of Children.

  The psychic power of these children is real, tested and proven, and although testing to the same extent seems not to have been carried out in other parts of the world (as far as we are aware), parents everywhere will tell you it’s unnecessary – they already know their children are psychic! This next story was also posted by a reader on my website:

  ‘My nine-year-old son has told me that he “knows things” about people, and he sometimes knows what’s going to happen before it happens. On meeting new people he instantly likes or dislikes them based on a feeling he gets. He has reported that he sees “funny people” walking around (and I don’t mean the neighbours!). I quite often feel the same way, however I have never spoken to him about any feelings I have.’ – SUZIE

  OTHER CHANGES

  People are now returning to exercising and meditation where once they spent their time on pursuits such as watching TV or playing computer games. It’s time to start moving our bodies once more, walking instead of taking the car.

  Many of my friends have become one-car families instead of the more usual two in my part of the world. More of us are conscious of saving electricity and gas in our homes. When we leave the house we try and remember to unplug our plugs at the socket; did you realize that even if your electrical item is switched off, it will still use electricity if it’s plugged in?

  More of us remember to recycle or take our own shopping bags to the supermarket, saving millions of pounds on manufacturing plastic bags, as well as the energy saved in production. Can you squeeze out that last bit of paste from the toothpaste tube, or cut the end off your bottle or tube and use up that final blob of cream? Can you wash out and re-use the jam jars? Can you collect seeds in the garden to create new plants?

  The recession has taught us many things including how to use less and how to need less. Things that we once thought were important are no longer so. Many recall earlier, leaner times and understand this ‘new’ way of living very well, having lived it previously. Can you mend instead of throw away? Can you change the colour rather than buy new? Polish shoes, re-spray waterproof coats and sew those buttons back on?

  As spirits we need none of the ‘comforts’ of earthly life… although we certainly have become accustomed to them! As we pass through the gate of heaven we recall that the whole reason for living was not to acquire things or gather wealth; how far off-track we have come!

  Why are we here? We live to LOVE; to love one another, to love the animals on the planet, to love the very Earth itself. It’s time to fill your mind with positive and loving thoughts. Naturally people who do not resonate at this new higher vibrat
ion will fall away. You will no longer feel connected to people of a lower vibration. People who cause you angst and stress will no longer form a part of your world. Let them go with love. What is the meaning of life? LOVE – it’s as simple as that.

  You’ll find yourself more drawn to people who lift you up, and to work that fulfils you. As well as changing your diet you may well find you wish to dress differently, and certainly take better care of your body. Enjoy this journey into a simpler and purer way of living. Fizz and crackle with energy as you re-claim your real self.

  ANGELS

  And so the angels have come. It’s time to awaken to our one true purpose, to recall our missions on Earth. Why are we here? We’ll examine this a little more later on, but of one thing I will reassure you, you are not alone. Even if you sometimes feel lonely, know that you are supported by your guardian angel and, at this time, many other beings throughout the universe. Exciting times are ahead, so hang on tight and enjoy the ride!

  How to Use This Book

  This book is split into three different sections. My readers always love to know what’s been happening in my own spooky life, so I’ll share a few experiences of my own since I wrote for you last. I meet loads of lovely people in my work so I will concentrate on some of those kinds of experiences in particular! What have I been up to? Read Part One to find out… or you can jump right to Part Two if you prefer.

  Part Two is all about angels. What are they? How can you work with them in your own life and what is happening on the planet right now? Of course I know you’ll like some fun tips on connecting with your own angels and guides, so I have included a little inspiration for you in this section.

  Part Three is full of your real-life angel stories. I remember once a fan picked up a copy of one of my books to take away on holiday with her. A couple of years previously she’d read another of my books and, following this, had e-mailed me to share an angel story of her own. Even though I’d written to tell her I would be including her angel experience in my next book, this woman had forgotten all about it. Imagine her surprise when she came across her own experience by accident in the new book she’d just purchased! When she got back from holiday she immediately wrote to me again. ‘Now I know the stories are real,’ she explained. ‘You wrote up my story exactly as I had shared it with you!’ So there you go – the stories are 100 per cent real!
