In early medieval England, angels weren’t just distant heavenly beings — they were active participants in everyday life. They guided, protected, and occasionally tested people, offering subtle yet profound interventions. For those living in a time defined by uncertainty and hardship, the idea of an unseen force offering wisdom and protection was a source of comfort and empowerment.
But here’s the twist: angels aren’t limited to ancient manuscripts and stained-glass windows. If you look closely, the same concept exists today, albeit in a different form. For high-performing individuals navigating the chaos of the modern world, unseen forces are still at play. Only now, they show up as habits, mindsets, and lifestyle choices that either guide you toward success or lead you astray.
Invisible Forces in Modern Performance
- The Angel of Sleep: This guardian whispers at night, urging you to put down your phone and rest. Ignore it, and you pay the price with fatigue, brain fog, and diminished resilience. Honour it, and you unlock sharper thinking, better mood regulation, and faster recovery.
- The Angel of Movement: This one nudges you to stand up, stretch, and move. In early medieval texts, angels were often described as messengers in motion — swift, purposeful, and dynamic. Isn’t that the very essence of what your body craves? Honour this force, and you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned.
- The Angel of Breath: Medieval angels were believed to carry messages on the wind. Modern research tells us that breath is the key to reducing stress and enhancing focus. When life becomes overwhelming, the angel of breath is waiting — a few deep inhales away from clarity.
Listening to the Whisper
The early medieval mindset understood something profound: ignoring these unseen forces came at a cost. The same holds true today. If you’re grinding through life, burning the candle at both ends, and constantly putting health on the back burner, you’re out of alignment with these guiding forces.
In coaching high performers for over 20 years, I’ve seen how transformational it can be to heed these subtle messages:
- A CEO who reclaimed energy by prioritising morning walks.
- A professional footballer who turned his career around by mastering recovery.
- A corporate executive who doubled productivity by implementing mindful breathing techniques.
They all listened to the whisper of these modern-day angels — and their lives changed for the better.
A Conversation Worth Having
In medieval England, people sought guidance from wise monks and mystics when they needed clarity. Today, high-performing individuals need a different kind of guide — someone who understands the science of health, performance, and resilience.
