How do I create an angel altar?

An angel altar is an important link in establishing a powerful connection with the celestial realms. It is a tangible focus, a portal to serenity, somewhere you can still your mind and open your heart to the angels. Creating an angelic altar offers valuable grounding to your spiritual transformation, providing an opportunity to explore your creativity, expressing yourself emotionally, artistically and spiritually. Angels are attracted to places of joy, love, peace and harmony.
Choose items for your altar that have been inspired by the angels through meditation or intuition. These angel-themed objects, lovingly gathered and displayed together, focus your intent. You could place anything at all with an angel image on it, angel cards, angel books, carved crystal angels, feathers, candles, etc.
Once you have established a daily routine of attending your angel altar - whether to clean, purify or reorganise it or to change some of the objects or light your candles - it will be much easier to include a set amount of time for meditative thought or prayer.

Which is the best crystal to connect with the angels?

In my opinion Angel Aura Quartz is the best crystal to use for connecting to the angelic realm. The name says it all! Angel aura is clear organic quartz scientifically combined with platinum; this combination produces the most amazing pale iridescent shimmering rainbow effect. They are a joy to work with, carry or wear. Rainbows bring joy, light and optimism. Angel aura is an activator of brilliance on all levels of the body and aura. The shimmering shades of iridescent colours that play within this crystal swiftly attune the senses to the angelic realms of love and light. They purify and uplift your spirit, which floods your energy field with sweet sparkling rainbow bubbles of protection, tranquillity and peace. This crystal transports your awareness to the 'inner temple' of the higher self where knowledge of your guardian angel is stored. This crystal works primarily with your guardian angel and the 'crystal angels' a group of celestial beings dedicated to guiding and assisting those who work with crystals in their therapy sessions and meditations. Angel aura quartz enhances subtle perception as this crystal strengthens all the energy systems of the body.
Placing an Angel Aura quartz under one's pillow engenders sweet angelic dreams. Meditating with one can open the inner doors to an expanded state of awareness.

Do we have more than one guardian angel?

The simple answer is yes, but in the truest traditional sense we only have one. We all have our own guardian angel who will never leave us. Our guardian angel is appointed to us when we first incarnate. This angel has knowledge of our hopes and dreams, goals and achievements. Our guardian angels task is to channel as much angelic light towards us as possible, to inspire us and bring comfort in our hour of need and assist us throughout life.
However, some people believe that we each have several guardian angels. Others believe we all have a guiding angel who works with us as well as our guardian angel. These guiding angels change as you evolve spiritually or need to learn different spiritual lessons.
