“Angels are the thoughts, the memory, the sensation of love. They are whatever comes and shifts us from being lost within ourselves, to seeing again, not with the ego, but with the eye of the heart.” * Megan Watterson * Hey friends! Jennifer here from Jen Open Hearts, and I’m so excited to share a little inspiration that hit me recently while I was in the shower (don’t you love those lightbulb moments?). I lit a candle, burned some herbs, sipped on a wheatgrass drink (gotta get those greens in!), and sat down to record this for you. Today, I want to talk about something that’s been lighting up my soul for a long time: the angel frequency. It’s a concept that’s all about love, connection, and shifting our perspective from the ego to the heart. Let’s dive in! What Is the Angel Frequency? I first stumbled across this beautiful idea in Mary Magdalene Revealed by Megan Watterson. She writes, “Angels are the thoughts, the memories, the sensations of love. They are whatever comes and shifts us from being lost within ourselves to seeing again, not with the ego, but with the eye of the heart.” Isn’t that stunning? It’s a reminder that angels aren’t just winged figures tied to religious imagery—they’re the frequency of love that surrounds us every day. For me, the angel frequency is about those moments, people, or even tiny miracles that lift us out of stagnation, fear, or self-doubt. It’s the lightness that helps us see life through a lens of compassion and joy. Whether it’s a kind stranger, a fluttering butterfly, or a quiet walk in nature, these are the angels in our lives. Angels Aren’t What You Think Growing up in the Midwest, I was surrounded by traditional ideas of angels—think halos and harps. But this quote opened my eyes to something deeper. Angels don’t have to fit a mold; they’re the energy of love that flows through us and others. I love calling people “angel” when I feel their warmth and purity—it’s like recognizing the divine spark in them. Have you ever met someone who just radiates that kind of energy? Everyday Angels: Finding Light in the Ordinary Here’s the thing: we encounter angels all the time. Some days, you might be the angel for someone else, and other days, they’re there for you. It’s this beautiful dance of energy that shifts depending on where we’re at in life. When I’m stuck, afraid, or taking things personally, I’ve learned that connecting to this frequency can pull me out of the muck. Take my husband and me, for example. Every winter, we drive our truck camper down to Key West for a little getaway. One year, we met Emilio at the farmer’s market, selling the most incredible Jordanian food. The salt was in the air, the sea was sparkling, and Emilio’s energy was pure magic. He’d say, “I have the best job—I get to feed people!” and beam with joy. He’d bless us with every bite, saying, “Be blessed, be blessed.” That man was an earth angel—spreading love through food and kindness. It’s those encounters that remind me how simple it can be to embody this frequency. Nature as an Angel Frequency Sometimes, the angel frequency isn’t a person—it’s a bird singing, a flower blooming, or the rustle of leaves on a quiet walk. When I’m feeling off, I head to nature, ditch the headphones, and let the world be my medicine. These little miracles shift my state, reminding me of the beauty in life. What’s your go-to way to reconnect with that lightness? Self-Love: The Foundation of the Angel Frequency Here’s the secret: connecting with the angel frequency starts from within. It’s an inside job. When we take care of ourselves—our nervous system, our heart, our spirit—we create space for that love to ripple out. I’ve been through it all—depression, anxiety, even suicidal thoughts—and I’ve learned that while we can’t control everything, we can control how we respond. One book that’s been a game-changer for me lately is Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. It’s all about moving from pain to power by shifting our thoughts and words. Instead of lingering in victimhood, we can step into our hero’s journey. How do we do that? By asking, “What can I do today to love myself? To feel joy?” Maybe it’s brewing a cup of nettle tea for my moon cycle or grounding myself with a walk. These small acts of self-love tune us into that angelic energy. Tools for Spiritual Growth in 2025 We’re living in an incredible time with so many resources at our fingertips—books, teachers, even AI! If I’m struggling, I can ask, “Hey, AI, I’m 36 and feeling lost—help me out!” It’s wild to think we can use technology as a therapist. The point is, we have the power to take ownership of our spiritual growth. Whether it’s through nature, meditation, or a good book, the tools are there—will you use them? Be the Angel You Want to See Here’s the coolest part: when you nurture yourself, you become an angel for others. It’s not about forcing it—it’s about following your bliss and letting that energy spill over. Maybe it’s listening to a friend, setting boundaries, or just resting when you need it. These acts create a ripple effect, lifting others without you even realizing it. I had a psychedelic experience last summer that drove this home. I felt, deep in my bones, that all my ancestors lived and died so I could be here, living this beautiful life. They want us to feel joy, pain, and everything in between—it’s all part of being human. So, how do we honor that? By steering our own ship, forgiving ourselves and others, and choosing love over fear. Living From the Heart Living from the heart isn’t always easy—I can be a grumpy human too!—but it’s worth it. When I notice ruminating thoughts dragging me down, I place a hand on my heart and shift my awareness. It’s a simple trick that brings me back to love. Try it next time you’re stuck in your head—it’s like a little reset button. Your Angels, Your Journey So, I’ll leave you with this: Who have been the angels in your life? What thoughts, memories, or moments have lifted you up? We all deserve that lightness, no matter what’s happening. Life is wild and messy, but it’s also wildly beautiful. Even on the darkest days, the light shines brighter because of it. Take good care of yourself today—make that tea, step outside, or just breathe. You’re an angel for someone, and I’m so grateful you’re here with me on this journey. Wishing you a day full of love and sweetness! This is a public episode.
