Hi Megha - firstly, I'm there with you!

What pops out of your sharing is that the energy with you is more a conduit - a resonant connection back to the source, as you traverse the darkness. So it feels more angelic rather than Ascended Master.

The Ascended Master energies are as "tillers" on a particular frequency - bringing it alive. But the angelic realm are more connective, helping your authentic vibe find its way through the darkness.

That's my sense of it. Watch for the angels!
