Instruction manual
1
Identify the request with which contact the angel. Analyze it and answer yourself a few questions: will fulfilling the request be useful to your soul? Can you do what you wish for yourself? Would fulfilling a request harm someone else?
2
There is a standard text of prayers to the Guardian Angel. The link to them is indicated under the article. You can read any at any time of the day (and not only at the points indicated in the comments to the prayers). To do this, focus on a mental conversation with an angel and read, reflecting on each word of prayer. Think about your request for an angel at the same time.
3
Prayer to all heavenly forces is addressed not only to the Guardian Angel, but also to other heavenly spirits. The attitude in addressing all angels is no different from the mood of prayer to the Guardian Angel: you should be focused on the meaning of words, invisible interlocutors and your own request. When reciting the text of the prayer and your request mentally or aloud, you must be sure that you are asking for good for yourself and your loved ones.
note
Prayer is not a panacea for all troubles and misfortunes. The fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the request depends on whether you really need what you ask the angels to do.
