Are You a Human Angel?
Your angel wings are a sign of personal and spiritual growth
Many humans are starting to awaken the angelic origin in themselves — my life is full of ethereal and human angels. There are so many synchronicities about angel wings that come to me over and over again. Even as I’m typing out these words, my eyes start to get misty and my chest starts to swell with profound gratitude.
Many of Us Are Incarnated Angels
Remember the popular American Drama series — Touched By An Angel? Even though nobody in my typical Asian family in Singapore shared about the concept of angels when I was a child, somehow seeing these angels on TV just felt so natural and profoundly touching to me. My heart cracked open with love and compassion at the end of every episode whenever the angels help a new person see the Light through every hardship.
Later, in my early twenties, I went into a mini existential crisis and found my way to various New Age modalities. Doreen Virtue’s books introduced me more to the concept of angels and Ascended Masters. It pains me that she has turned to Christianity and denounced all the New Age books a few years ago, but I still resonate very much with what she shared about the various Earth Angel Realms, in particular, the Incarnated Angel.
“An Incarnated Angel is filled with wide-eyed compassion and love. The reflection of some personal pain is evident in the eyes, but it’s outweighed by the look of Divine Love…
One Incarnated Angel said, “There’s a part of me that wants to fold my angel wings and hide my true identity sometimes. This manifests as sometimes not doing my healing work or missing deadlines for advertising my practice.”
Yet, when Incarnated Angels spread their wings and fly, it’s sheer beauty to behold.” ~Doreen Virtue
Incarnated Angels see the true potential in other people and are always eager to help others. Sometimes, they forget that they’re no longer ethereal and thus unable to help huge masses of people at once, so they overgive and deplete their limited energies.
Allowing Your Inevitable Transformation Helps Unfurl Your Angel Wings
As an energy healer, I offer intuitive energy healing sessions to help unwind physical, emotional, and spiritual pain.
My client couldn’t figure out what was happening to her. She felt physical pain in her shoulder blades as if something was trying to push its way out through her middle back, but she was so scared that she kept resisting this force with all her might. It felt so painful that she would tear up sometimes.
Her intuition told her that this problem has an energetic root cause. There must be some energetic misalignment that caused this, so she believed that I might be able to help her as an energy healer.
Seated next to her, I allowed myself to be still within, then I tuned into her pain. The energies were intense and chaotic. Indeed, it felt like they wanted to be pushed out!
But as I observed this energetic movement with a sense of childlike wonder, this energy soon emerged out of her shoulder blades, and expanded itself into huge and gorgeous angel wings!
I couldn’t see it energetically, but I felt the transformation with a strong sense of inner knowing.
“Do you know you’re growing angel wings right now?” I asked her gently.
Quietly, as if she couldn’t believe it yet couldn’t deny it too, she said, “yes, I feel it.” Just like that, her pain was gone. A childlike grin and sparkling eyes appeared on her face.
That angelic encounter happened more than 8 years ago. I’ve experienced a similar transformation in some of my clients since then.
It’s Not Easy Being an Incarnated Angel
Incarnated Angels are not ethereal angels. We need to have the right balance between the angelic and human aspects in us. My client in the previous example was trying too hard to be a regular human while repressing her angelic side.
I had the opposite problem. As a child all the way till my late twenties, I was trying too hard to revert to life as an ethereal angel, helping others without taking care of my energetic boundaries. It’s funny how when you’re in ethereal form, it’s so much easier to be everywhere at the same time. I just can’t do the same as a human.
I was so ungrounded that it took being a stay-home mom in my early thirties, being very hands-on in nursing, diapering, and doing all the necessary caretaking activities to tend to my babies to feel more human. But I also became so dense as a human that I didn’t and couldn’t connect to my divinity for a long time. It has been such a transformational journey returning to more of my core self.
Now, in my physical and also energetic body, the best way for me to acknowledge my human life and help others at the same time, is to keep doing things arising from pure joy and compassion, and to stop any actions arising from pure guilt and obligation.
Witnessing those energetic angel wings on my clients’ backs catapulted me to a state of empowerment and awe. This radiating power has nothing to do with our mortal achievements, but it has everything to do with how we radiate our natural presence and doing things that are aligned with our presence.
Embodying Spirituality Through My Wings
Just late last year, a local friend, Betty Kang, who’s a master in dancing with flow props, especially silk wings, came to be my teacher. Betty helped me purchase my first pair of silk fan veils, custom-made from Canada, and taught me how to dance with these gorgeous veils. I’ve no doubt that she’s either an Incarnated Angel or a more playful incarnated fairy.
I was so moved to be dancing with these beautiful fan veils, it’s a dream to physically move my ‘wings’ that way!
One day, as I was walking in my favorite park and felt so free with the cool breeze blowing at me, I wondered what it would feel like unfurling my energetic angel wings and letting them flap freely. Whoosh!
My back felt so open and free; my chest softened and overflowed with compassion and gratitude. I took this opportunity to dance with my ‘physical’ wings.
The dance was filled with wrist, elbow, and arm rotations, body undulations, and extensions. The soft movement of the fan veils made it easier for me to see energy in motion, and to create the energetic flow that feels harmonious for me. This group of Banyan trees with their gorgeous hanging roots and I delighted one another through this beautiful exchange.
Through my human self, I’m embodying spirituality, immersing myself in this deep interconnectedness with nature.
Aimée Gramblin’s Novella Series of a Family of Angels
An entire young family growing angel wings came to me through Aimée’s novella series on P.S. I Love You.
I burst out in tears towards the end when she wrote this in Part 18:
“I’m going to give you a gift that will make your wings invisible to humans. There are more of you, you know. You need to find them so you don’t feel so alone.”
This is such a powerful validation to me. There are so many of us with angelic origins. We’re stepping into the angelic realm and the human realm. Both realms are equally important. The human realm can be so dense, but we will thrive when we keep maintaining our high vibrational state of childlike wonder and honor how we’re all here to help one another.
Closing Notes
In these recent times that seem to be filled with a sense of loss, desperation, and grief, if you’ve ever felt this strange pressure or pain in your shoulder blades that might trigger fear and panic in you, ask your intuition if you’re sprouting angel wings, or unfurling your wings further. If a sense of childlike joy and anticipation of magic starts to instinctively arise from you, try softening your chest and shoulder blades, and allow your transformation to unfold with ease.
Our wings inspire and empower others when we start to move them from the core of our being, being balanced in receiving for ourselves and giving to others.
I love you, my fellow angelic friends. Please come say hi!
P.S. I fully acknowledge that any kind of physical pain might be a symptom of physical medical issues. Please seek professional medical help if this is what you’re suspecting too.
