What signature techniques does Brian D Smith employ to connect with angels for guidance?

Two core techniques show up again and again in my work and in the guests I invite on Grief 2 Growth:

• Direct invitation and acknowledgment
  Angels honor free will. I encourage people to say something like: “I acknowledge my guardian angel who is holy and divine. Please help me with ______.” Naming the angel (using the first name that pops in) and saying “thank you” afterward strengthens the bond.

• Quiet listening practices (automatic writing / meditation)
  Drawing from methods like Lisa Jones’ PALS process, I teach people to sit quietly, ask a clear question (“Dear angels, what would you like me to know today?”), then write the first loving, supportive thoughts that come. Over time, you learn the feel of angelic input versus your own mental chatter.

Would you like a short, step‑by‑step practice you can start using today to connect with your angels?
