Читать книгу An Angel Called My Name: Incredible true stories from the other side - Theresa Cheung, Theresa Cheung - Страница 6

In this book I want to share with you just some of the thousands of compelling true stories I have collected from people whose lives have been touched and transformed by angels over the 25 years I have been researching and writing features, books and encyclopaedias about spirits, ghosts, dreams and the psychic world. The stories range from the inspirational to the comforting to the spine tingling, but despite varying widely in content they all have one thing in common: they are all real-life stories based in fact not fantasy.

I’d like to begin our psychic journey together, though, with some more of my own experiences. I hope that understanding a little more about me and what I have experienced and continue to experience every day will help you get to know me a little better.

I’m a 40-something married mum of two children; my son is ten and my daughter is eight. Although astonishing things have happened in my life – and I hope they will continue to happen as nothing fascinates or delights me more – I’m not a psychic, a medium or a spiritual guru. I do believe, however, that we are all born psychic in one way or other and there are times in our lives when we can tap into this. Many unusual things that I have experienced have been tied up with my work as a paranormal writer, which has encouraged me to reach out and explore the world of spirit, but other things have simply ‘happened’. By sharing my personal psychic journey with you in the first chapter I hope you’ll see that anyone, whatever their age or background, can hear the voice of an angel.

The rest of the book explores some of the incredible ‘angel stories’ I’ve encountered over the years. I’m extremely grateful to all those people who allowed me to interview them and gave me permission to share their experiences and their integrity. A few sent in their own versions of their experiences but in most cases I have written up their stories from what I was told or sent. Everyone who contributed touched me deeply with their truth and honesty.

Many of the people I spoke to were extremely relieved to tell their stories, sometimes for the first time. They wanted them included to show others that angels are always with us, even if we can’t see them. Although names, dates and personal details have been changed at the request of those who wished it, the true accounts from ordinary people show just some of the many different ways those who pass on can reach back into our world. At the end of the day they are all heavenly stories that bring simple messages of support, hope, reassurance and love through angelic encounters and angelic words that transform this life and offer tantalizing glimpses of the next.

As momentarily unsettling as encounters with spirits and angels can be, especially to those who were previously unaware or unconvinced of their existence, I can assure you that the more I’ve learned and continue to learn about the world of spirit, the more comforting, wonderful and fascinating they become – and you will find that the same is true for you.

So save a seat for your angel and prepare to be inspired and astounded – as I never fail to be – by the true stories of people leading outwardly normal lives, but who have been comforted, inspired and transformed by the voice of an angel. Working on this book has opened my eyes to new paths and possibilities and given me a renewed connection to the realm of spirit. It is my sincere wish that reading it will serve as a catalyst for your own belief by proving to you that miracles can happen and that even ordinary people, like you and me, can wake up one day and hear an angel call their name.

May angels rest beside your door,

May you hear their voices sing.

May you feel their loving care for you,

May you hear their peace bells ring.

May angels always care for you,

And not let you trip and fall.

May they bear you up on angel’s wings,

May they keep you standing tall.

May they whisper wisdom in your ear,

May they touch you when you need,

May they remove from you each trace of fear,

May they keep you from feeling greed.

May they fill you with their presence,

May they show you love untold,

May they always stand beside you

And make you ever bold.

May they teach you what you need to know

About life here and here-after.

May they fill you always with their love

And give you the gift of laughter.
