Out of nowhere, someone came to me and asked my name. When I
told her my name, she held my hand and brought me to the place of my Mama’s
friend. She sent me inside the house and I got so preoccupied about seeing my
mother. When my mother turned to thank her, she’s nowhere to be found.
Since then, my belief about angels and guardian angels have
always been strong. That incident may be purely human but I know that working
behind the incident were angels sent by the Divine.

A first Meet your Angels Workshop in
Davao is happening on April 5 to 6 at the Lispher Inn Hotel with Dorothy
Llariza-Tome, an Angel Card Reader certified by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh
Valentine. The workshop is a step-up activity of I (Heart) Events by Princess Evelyn Buendia and
Imagine Life a Workmanship of the Divine (I.L.A.W.O.D.) lead by Atho dela Cruz.
“The concept of angels has been present all over the world
since ancient civilization,” say Buendia. “To some, the encounter with angels
are associated with religious affiliations or spiritual encounters. While for those
who are sceptics, angels reveal themselves through psychological or scientific
appearances.”
According to Buendia, the labelling of angels is not really
a problem. She says that many individuals have
experienced something that cannot be explained by logical reasoning. “And it is
with this occurrences or help that we find reference to a higher power. For many
of us, we call them angels.”
“The word ‘angel’ means messenger which comes from the
ancient Greek word ‘angelos,” says Atho dela Cruz. “In many references to the
bible, we noticed how the angels reveal so many insights to the Biblical
characters; when Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce that she is
conceiving a baby who will be the son of God. Another instance was when the
angels told Noah to build an ark, and even to Joseph the Dreamer.”
Dela Cruz furthered that even in this modern times,
connecting with angels will prove to be very helpful to strive for balance in
life. He said that while these days, people seem to be so preoccupied with the
material aspect, the help of the angels will bring clarity as to what is truly important
and what are the things that should be let go in the journey of life.
“A lot of us wonder how do we really connect with our
angels,” says Dela Cruz, “Actually, we know how to connect with them. Only, our
minds have been much clouded with skepticism and material concerns that we
refuse to acknowledge that inner knowing deep within.” The workshop, he says,
will help the students remember that capacity to reconnect with angel guides. “And
they can even meet their guardian angels – as we personally have our angels who
are assigned to us the moment we came to this world.”
The Meet Your Angels workshop is open to limited slots. In
the upcoming days, the workshop is geared to tour across the archipelago. For
questions and clarifications, you can call or text Princess Evelyn Buendia at +63925
