What Is An Earth Angel? And How Do You Know If You Are One?

Earth Angels are individuals with a unique spiritual purpose to bring love, light, and positive energy to the world. They are messengers or helpers sent to contribute to the greater good. Does that feel true to you and your purpose?

These individuals often display traits such as compassion, empathy, and a strong desire to assist others. Whilst some might connect the term ‘Earth Angel’ with an actual incarnated angel, or an earthly manifestation of a celestial entity, it is my belief that an Earth Angel is not an actual angel but is a metaphorical angel – an individual who embodies the kindness and goodness of the Angelic Realms. Earth Angels, in this context, are ordinary people who choose to live with extraordinary love and goodness, making a positive impact on the world through their actions.

Earth Angels possess a purpose of spreading love, light, and positive energy throughout the world. Compassion and empathy are their hallmark characteristics, as Earth Angels feel a deep-seated desire to alleviate the suffering of others. Their actions, guided by compassion, a deep sense of empathy and a unique sense of spiritual purpose, are instrumental in uplifting the collective consciousness. Ultimately, being an Earth Angel is about embodying a higher purpose and contributing positively to the collective well-being of humanity.

In my journey as a holistic therapist and spiritual teacher, I've encountered numerous individuals who beautifully embody the qualities we associate with Earth Angels. One client, let's call her Sarah, stands out vividly in my memory. Sarah had a profound connection to the angelic realms, often sharing experiences of feeling guided by unseen forces and receiving intuitive insights. As an adult she was guided to work with the angels as a healer. She came to me to learn more about how to do this.

What struck me most about Sarah was her unwavering compassion and empathy. In our sessions, she demonstrated a remarkable ability to tune into the emotions of others, offering solace and understanding effortlessly. Her healing energy was palpable, creating a serene atmosphere that enveloped those around her. With zero effort, she put others at ease, they wanted to share their innermost thoughts with her and they opened up without her seemingly doing a thing. She clearly channelled the divine love and light associated with the angelic kingdom, making a tangible impact on the well-being of those she encountered.

When Sarah spoke about her life’s experiences, she spoke of transformative moments that seemed divinely orchestrated – a difficult childhood, chance encounters that led to synchronistic connections, and instances of guidance that steered her towards a purposeful path. Her journey was marked by a genuine desire to assist others, not as a duty but as an innate calling she couldn't ignore.

As Sarah navigated life's challenges, she remained resilient and optimistic, qualities often attributed to Earth Angels. Her connection to the angelic kingdom seemed to infuse her with a sense of purpose that radiated in every interaction. Sarah's story exemplifies the belief that individuals can indeed adopt the qualities of Earth Angels, becoming beacons of love, light, and positive energy in the world.

The Characteristics of an Earth Angel

Earth Angels are distinguished by a profound depth of compassion and empathy. Their hearts resonate with a keen sensitivity to the emotions and struggles of others, fostering a genuine desire to alleviate suffering. This compassionate nature goes beyond sympathy; it's an innate ability to truly understand and share in the feelings of those around them. Empathy fuels their actions, creating a powerful connection that inspires healing and support. These are the individuals who may of experienced abusive childhoods or early trauma, giving them a keen, deep empathy and compassion with other individuals.

Coupled with their compassion is an unwavering desire to assist others. Earth Angels feel a calling to be of service, whether through acts of kindness, lending a listening ear, or actively participating in initiatives that promote well-being. Their commitment to helping others isn't merely a choice but an intrinsic part of their character, rooted in a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings.

Embedded within these characteristics is a unique spiritual purpose that Earth Angels carry in the earthly realm. This purpose varies for each individual but generally revolves around spreading love, light, and positive energy. They may act as lightworkers, healers, or messengers, contributing to the greater spiritual evolution of humanity. This purpose guides their choices, actions, and interactions, shaping a life dedicated to fostering growth, harmony, and happiness on a spiritual level. In essence, the characteristics of Earth Angels intertwine seamlessly, creating individuals whose presence enriches the world with compassion, assistance, and a profound spiritual purpose.

Different Types of Earth Angels

Lightworkers: Lightworkers are Earth Angels who channel healing and positive energy into the world. They are often deeply attuned to spiritual energies and seek to bring about a higher vibrational frequency. Lightworkers may engage in practices such as energy healing, meditation, or even creative pursuits that radiate positive vibrations. Their primary goal is to illuminate the path for others, helping individuals awaken to their own inner light and spiritual potential.

Healers: Healers among Earth Angels are individuals with a profound ability to facilitate physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. They may practice various forms of alternative or traditional healing modalities, ranging from Angelic Healing, Reiki and holistic therapies to conventional medical practices. Healers harness their empathetic nature to provide comfort and aid in the recovery and transformation of others, making a significant impact on the well-being of those they encounter.

Messengers: Messengers serve as conduits for divine guidance, wisdom, or important insights. These Earth Angels act as intermediaries between the spiritual and earthly realms, delivering messages that can inspire, guide, or bring clarity. Messengers may express their insights through various means, including intuitive communication, artistic endeavours, or even written and spoken words. Their role is to share divine truths or insights that contribute to the spiritual growth and understanding of individuals and the collective consciousness.

These types of Earth Angels highlight the diverse ways in which individuals can contribute to the well-being and spiritual evolution of humanity, each playing a unique role in spreading love, healing, and wisdom.
