In the moments when life feels overwhelming—when grief is fresh or healing feels out of reach—it’s natural to search for something greater. A sign. A message. A reason to hope. Many people report encounters that seem too meaningful to be mere coincidence: a stranger’s timely words, a song that plays at the perfect moment, or a presence that brings peace.
In this episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian D. Smith welcomes Christi Clemons Hoffman, a lifelong intuitive, Reiki master, channel, and Level 3 practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). Christi is also the author of Real Life Angel Encounters, a new book that explores true stories of angelic intervention and guidance from beyond the veil.
This conversation goes far beyond mystical curiosity. It explores how real life angel encounters offer comfort to the grieving, insights to the spiritually curious, and healing to those living with trauma.
Who Are the Angels Among Us? 👼
When we think of angels, we often picture winged beings in white robes. But for Christi, angels are multidimensional beings of pure light who serve as guides, messengers, and protectors. They don’t need to be religious figures—they simply work for the greater good, often behind the scenes.
According to Christi, angels can appear in many forms. They might show up in dreams or meditations. They might be felt as an energy or heard as an inner voice. Sometimes, they work through everyday people—someone who steps in with help or encouragement at just the right time.
“You may be someone else’s angel without even knowing it,” Christi shares.
These unseen helpers remind us that even in isolation, we’re part of something greater—and that guidance is never far away.
The Power of Real Life Angel Encounters 💫
Christi’s book is filled with stories of people who experienced angelic intervention. One woman survived a devastating tornado in Joplin, Missouri after being guided—seemingly by an invisible hand—to safety. Another person heard a voice warning them to avoid a specific road, only to discover an accident had occurred there moments later.
In some cases, angel encounters are subtle. A stranger in a store offers a comforting word that brings someone to tears. A feather appears in an impossible place. A child recalls a “friend” who helped them sleep at night—describing them in ways that suggest more than imagination.
These stories are compelling not just because they’re mysterious, but because they often come at a time of need—grief, fear, or transition. For many, they provide exactly the message needed to keep going.
“These moments are not random,” Christi says. “They’re orchestrated with love.”
What Is QHHT? Unlocking the Wisdom of the Soul 🌀
While angelic guidance often comes from the outside, healing can also come from within. One of Christi’s most powerful tools is Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), a method developed by the late Dolores Cannon. In a deeply relaxed state, clients are guided to access their past lives, higher selves, and even future experiences.
QHHT allows individuals to gain insight into unresolved trauma, current struggles, and their soul’s purpose. Christi explains that many clients discover that current-life pain stems from patterns established across lifetimes.
One client who suffered chronic pain found the root in a past life trauma. Once the story was acknowledged, healing began—both emotionally and physically.
“You already have all the answers,” Christi explains. “My job is just to help you access them.”
QHHT empowers people to understand themselves on a soul level, often providing peace that traditional therapy alone can't reach.
Healing Trauma and Chronic Illness at the Soul Level 🧠
Many of us carry unprocessed emotional wounds—whether from childhood, relationships, or cultural conditioning. Over time, these can become physical. Christi believes the body speaks through symptoms when we don’t—or can’t—process our pain.
In her work, she often sees links between chronic illness and emotional trauma. For example, suppressed grief might show up as chest pain or fatigue. Repressed fear could lead to digestive problems or autoimmune issues.
“The body is innately wise,” she says. “It just needs us to listen.”
By decoding energy and reconnecting with the self, healing becomes possible on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Christi also contributed to a collaborative book, The GAP, where she shares how energy work can bridge the gap between trauma and wellness. The takeaway: healing is not only possible—it’s often closer than we think.
Grief Is More Than Death 💔
One of the most powerful parts of the conversation was the reminder that grief takes many forms. It’s not limited to death. People grieve lost jobs, friendships, homes, health, or a sense of identity.
Grief can also be collective—experienced during events like the pandemic, social unrest, or natural disasters. Regardless of the source, grief asks us to feel, to pause, and to rebuild.
“We are spiritual beings having a human experience,” Christi notes. “And being human includes pain—but also growth.”
Spiritual tools like QHHT, Reiki, and angelic communication don’t erase grief. But they can hold space for it. They help transform it from a weight to be carried into wisdom to be honored.
Do Our Pets Have Souls? 🐾
Many people struggle deeply with the loss of a beloved animal. Christi affirms what many instinctively feel: our pets absolutely have souls.
She describes animals as part of a “soul soup,” meaning their consciousness continues after death. They often reincarnate, appear in dreams, or send signs to their owners.
In QHHT sessions, clients have connected with departed pets who bring messages of love and reassurance. In other cases, pets return in different forms—adopted again in a new body.
“Animals are pure, loving energy,” Christi explains. “They’re here to help us—and often stay with us long after they’re gone.”
Understanding this can bring immense comfort to those grieving pet loss. It reminds us that love doesn’t end—it simply changes form.
How to Connect With Angels, Guides, and Higher Self ✨
Christi encourages everyone to build a relationship with their spiritual team—but emphasizes that we must initiate contact.
Because of spiritual free will, angels and guides won’t interfere unless invited. That’s why asking—out loud, in writing, or silently—matters.
Here are a few ways Christi recommends to start:
Meditation or quiet time – create space to receive
Journaling – ask a question, then write freely
Gratitude – start by acknowledging past guidance
Energy work – Reiki or QHHT sessions can open channels
She also offers classes like “Love Never Dies,” where she teaches people to recognize signs from spirit and connect more clearly.
“You are not broken,” she says. “You’re just disconnected—and connection is always available.”
Forgiveness, Soul Agreements & the Bigger Picture 💡
Why do bad things happen? Why do we suffer? Christi shares insights from past life regressions that suggest many souls choose difficult lives—not as punishment, but for growth.
She references The Little Soul and the Sun, a story about souls agreeing to play roles—both good and bad—so others can learn compassion, courage, or forgiveness.
Forgiveness, Christi says, is not about condoning hurt. It’s about freeing ourselves from emotional bondage. When we remember our eternal nature, forgiveness becomes easier—because we understand life as part of a much larger soul journey.
Conclusion: You Are Not Alone 🌈
Whether you're grieving a loved one, facing a life transition, or simply seeking deeper meaning, Christi Clemons Hoffman’s message is clear: you are never alone. Real life angel encounters, spiritual healing, and inner guidance are available to all of us—no special powers required.
If you’ve ever had a moment that felt like divine intervention, you’re not imagining things. The signs are real. The love is real. And the support from the other side is always just a breath away.
“The veil is thin,” Christi reminds us. “You just have to be open to seeing through it.”
