Working With The Archangels, Parts 1 & 2
By Janice Olson
The Archangels can bring you the blessings of the universe and the love The Divine. You don't have to do it all alone. When asked, the Archangels will surround you and can help open the doors of opportunity and illuminate the path to reaching your goals. They can't do everything, however there will be work for you to do!
The Archangels are known as the overseers of the angelic realm and each has a specialty. Here is information on four of the archangels. Before trying the meditations with the Archangels, it's helpful if you are familiar with the chakras and that they are cleared and balanced. Go to the webpage on Chakras for more information. Here's the meditation to balance and clear the chakras.
Archangel Michael
His name means, Who is like God and is also called The Prince of Light. He is very large and holds sword. His halo is cobalt blue mixed with purple. You may see sparkles of these colors when he is around. He's Greatest Warrior Angel of all the protector and guider of light and love. He helps eradicate fear and infuses people with courage. He will intercede for you instantly particularly when a situation is interfering with your life purpose.
Archangel Michael is also the angel in command of Lightworkers, tho Michael will help bring a peaceful end to fights with family member, loved ones, neighbors, agencies or even strangers. Archangel Michael clears negative energy when asked. Before you enter a crowded mall or area, ask Archangel Michael to clear the negativity. He can take negatively minded people (both living and deceased) to the Light of God so that their minds can be healed.
Call upon Michael to assist you whenever you feel the presence of negativity. He can clear negative energy from any space (including your mind and heart.) ask him to clear the energy in your home, office, car, etc. This is especially beneficial after arguments or other negative situations.
Whenever you feel afraid or uneasy, mentally say, Archangel Michael, please protect and calm me now. If you are in an unsafe place or neighborhood, ask Archangel Michael to escort, guide and protect you. In fact, you can ask Michael to be
permanently stationed by your side so you ll always feel safe under his powerful protection. Just mentally say, Archangel Michael, please be my guardian angel in all directions of time. Thank you. And it is so!
Archangel Michael is who to call on when you want to remove negativity and fear from your life. Layers of negative attitudes and limiting beliefs can be cleared and released energetically when you receive an angelic soul clearing. Below is a simplified meditation version of the angelic soul clearing with Archangel Michael.
Performing your own Angelic Soul Clearing with Archangel Michael
Following is a simplified meditation version of the angelic soul clearing with Archangel Michael. Do this meditation if you feel negative and fearful and are ready to release it to the light. The meditation can take from 15 to 30 minutes depending on how thorough you want to be.
Sit comfortably where you will not be disturbed. Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Close your eyes and imagine roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth. Then follow this simple breathing exercise to relax your physical body: breathe in through your nose, hold it.
Tell your Ego-self to move toward your left shoulder. Let the Ego-self know that it's only an observer during the clearing and know this is so. Ask your Angels, Guides and all that you desire to accompany you on this quest to clear now.Ê Ask The Creator to send down a beam of protective white light. The Creator hears your request and in your mind's eye you can immediately envision a beam of light coming down from the universe. Watch it surround you in a protective glow.
Now you are ready to release. Mentally say, "Archangel Michael please come to me now and clear me of all negativity and fear." Archangel Michael is instantly by your side ready to clear you of negativity and fear.
Archangel Michael always carries a sword that he can use as a sort of metaphysical "psychic vacuum. Imagine it going in through your crown chakra (the top of your head) and begin vacuuming out all the negativity in your brain. Close your eyes and guide the vacuum through your entire body (don't forget your fingers and toes). This vacuum will release all your fears and negativity taking it to the light for cleansing and transformation.
Notice what you see. If you notice any darkness or shadows, linger there and make sure it's removed. These areas may correspond with shoulder, neck or back aches because these are areas where negativity commonly latches on. For stubborn negativity or shadow entities, ask Archangel Michael to throw a net of white light over it and immediately take it to the light. Thoughts of old painful memories may also pop up. That's a sign that these memories need to be released for healing and clearing. Do your best to release it.
Once you have vacuumed your entire body (be thorough, especially the first time) ask Archangel Michael to reverse the vacuum and fill your entire body with The Creator's loving, white, sparkly light. Make sure you take as much white light in as possible because nature abhors empty space and negativity and fears and negativity can creep back in). Keep absorbing the white light as long as you can--the more you take in the better. Feel it surround and penetrate your physical and ethereal body. You may feel this and it really feels great!
Thank Archangel Michael and ask him to protect you from negativity and fears always.
Ground yourself again by remembering the roots from your feet rooted deep into Mother Earth.
Now open your eyes.
You should immediately feel much lighter and more positive afterwards. You may feel dizzy or nauseous. Some people get headaches. This is normal, and everyone is different so some people may feel nothing.
You can do this as often as you like although if you do it too much you may feel weak and lightheaded.
Due to the clearing, you may feel like crying for the next couple days as you are in a period of releasing old fears and emotions. Cry your heart out and then let it go. Things you have not thought about in years may pop up and upset you and make you cry hard. This is a good thing. You have been carrying these negative feelings around too long and it's time to let go!
If you have any questions, let me know. Email me about your experience performing your own angelic soul clearing.
Protective Shield of Love and Light
Each morning upon wakening ask for Archangel Michael to encase you in an eggshell of white and pink protective from people you come into contact with (in all situations). This is especially useful for very empathic people who tend to pick up on the emotions of people around them (positive and negative). If you don't do this each morning at least do this when you are going to a crowded place like a mall, amusement park, etc.
Cutting Etheric Cords of Negativity
Cutting negative etheric cords is important because they can keep us connected to people that drain us. Some people have complained to me that when they talk to certain people, especially ones that always seem to have dramas or constant complaints, they feel tired and drained afterwards. These people, whom we probably love very much, don't mean to drain us but do because they are very needy. Besides being diligent to shield yourself before coming into contact with these people, cutting the etheric cords afterwards is essential.
Each night, before bed, say, Archangel Michael please come to me now. Please cut all negative etheric cords of fear that are sapping my joy, energy and vitality. Please clear me of all negativity and fill all voids with God's loving white light. Thank you!
If you give readings, make sure you metaphysically cut the cord afterwards each time (or ask Archangel Michael to cut it for you). Once I gave a mediumship reading for a woman and her mother came through. Her mother was very funny and chatty. However, that night, hours after the reading, her mother was still chatting to me and telling me to give her daughter important messages. I realized I had neglected to cut the etheric cord to my client and after I did so, her mother was no longer chatting in my ear and I was able to sleep.
Archangel Gabrielle (or Gabriel)
Name means Hero of God or God is my strength. Archangel Gabrielle radiates feminine energy. The early Catholic Church changed Gabrielle into the male angel, Gabriel, when everything was patriarchalized. Even God, who was referred to both Mother and Father in early versions of the bible, was later referred to as male.
Gabrielle has a Copper halo that matches the trumpet she carries. Gabrielle and her legion of angels help people whose life purpose involves communication, including teachers, writers, actors, photographers, speakers, etc.
Call on Gabrielle for assistance with a career or a problem that involves putting forth your ideas and impressions to others. Definitely ask her to be with you when you are asking for a raise or promotion at work.
Mentally call for Gabrielle by saying, Beloved Gabrielle, please help my inner truth find perfect creative expression. Thank you.
Archangel Gabrielle also helps with conception and childbirth. For problems conceiving and holding a pregnancy, ask for Archangel Gabrielle's intervention.
Ask for Archangel Gabrielle's assistance to intervene in any area of your life where it seems stuck. She ll breathe new life into stale relationships and businesses. Ask for her to help you bring about creative ideas and opportunities to get you moving again.
She offers guidance and helps people find their next step in life or their divine mission. When asked for her assistance, she brings joy and grace, clarity, and order into your life. She opens you up to sympathy, understanding and generosity and, like all the Archangels, will help you purify negative emotions and beliefs. She teaches us to take the time to appreciate all the experiences and joys in our daily lives. She can help you to find your life's purpose and offer both inspiration and divine inner strength during times when there seems little to be thrilled about.
Work with Archangel Gabrielle to shine in your communications and creative expression, heighten your intuition and to surround you in joy.
Gabrielle serves as the announcer and harbinger of good news and information. She gives us news of forthcoming events, changes on the horizon and opportunities that lie ahead for us. Many people believe Gabrielle is in charge of dreams, prophecy. In her role as communicator, Gabrielle is known as the great communicator for the Divine, ask for her help in understanding any puzzling dreams. She is especially able to help you access your intuition, as well as provide practical support for effective communications in your outer, day-to-day life. Work with Gabrielle to heighten your psychic abilities.
Working with Archangel Gabrielle to Develop Intuition
Intuition is an ability that can't be measured by physical sensitivity or lateral understanding. Intuition is also called "straight knowledge" because it's direct insight into higher levels of awareness. Those that liberate their intuition are able to pass through the mundane human ego self and bring truths of future, past and present into their awareness. Shifting perception to a point where someone is able to perceive beyond the illusion of reality is easily attainable but many people are too encumbered by fear to be open.ÊÊ All of us have the capacity to find all the answers to all questions; all you need to do is rely on the truth that is inside all of us.
There are two groups of people, thinkers and feelers. This determines the way they respond to people and life situations.
Thinkers operate from the mental centers. They are more logical, rational and analytical. They usually rely only on their five physical senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, to determine whether something real or not. Feelers, on the other hand, operate from their emotional centers and are more creative, intuitive and expressive. A feeler will listen to their intuition or sixth sense to make decisions and determine the truth.
Thinkers are definitely going to have a harder time opening to intuition. If you are a thinker, any intuitive feelings are going to be questioned and a scientific explanation will be sought. This is a habit thinkers can break by recognizing this reaction and following their intuition anyway. Although I doubt many thinkers are reading this right now anyway as they probably feel this is too airy fairy for them. I say that's their choice and good luck to them in stumbling through their life.
There is so much more to the universe that can't be explained by science or rationality. By trusting more than what we just see or hear we become empowered by knowing about others and ourselves. Life just becomes so much easier when we have answers.
Basically developing your intuition goes something like this. First, formulate a clear question or intention then quiet your mind of chatter (this takes practice, don't worry if it takes a while, just do the best you can). Let go of any resistance or judgment.Ê Trust the first impression you receive then focus on that impression for deeper insight.
To really increase your intuition, use meditation. Meditation is the practice of slowing down the mind chatter. When you are more focused, you become more aware of your aura and how to receive information. You allow yourself to stop and take a deeper look at situations around you. The more you meditate, the better and clearer your intuition will be.
Meditation to Enhance Intuition
Sit in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Place both feet on the ground and mentally prepare for this meditation. Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Close your eyes and imagining roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth. Then follow this simple breathing exercise to relax your physical body: breathe in through your nose, hold it for 7 seconds, and release it very slowly through your mouth. Repeat 3 times then unconsciously continue breathing this way throughout the meditation. Tell your Ego-self to move toward your left shoulder. Let the Ego-self know that it's only an observer during the clearing and know this is so. Ask your Angels, Guides and all that you desire to accompany you on this meditation now.
Ask The Creator to send down a beam of protective white light. The Creator hears your request and in your mind's eye you can immediately envision a beam of light coming down from the universe. Watch it surround you in a protective glow.
Now you are ready to expand your intuition. Mentally say, "Archangel Gabrielle please come to me now and help me open to receiving insight and guidance." Archangel Gabrielle is instantly by your side ready to assist.
In your mind's eye, imagine you are standing before a river. The water is clean and deep and flowing by very rapidly. Turn your head in the direction of the water and watch that far in the distance the river is flowing into a huge, bright light Ask Archangel Gabrielle to take all your fears, doubts, worries, feelings of unfairness, blocks, uncertainties and insecurities and throw them into this river.
See the negativity emerge from your body like a thick, heavy black liquid that oozes forth and falls into the river. Watch as it flows far, far away from you. Washed in the fast moving water, flowing into the light to be cleansed and transformed into positive energy.
As these blocks disappear, feel yourself becoming lighter, lighter, ever lighter, feel yourself releasing, lifting, feel your mind opening and expanding to the space around you, feel your consciousness extend like a bubble or a balloon, blown out of the confines of your previous limitations. See it surrounding your physical body and continuing to expand outwards into the universe. Keep your mind free of interfering thought, as clear as clear can be and then slowly allow knowledge, truth and understanding to fill your consciousness. You realize that you are flying along with Archangel Gabrielle into the bright, white light. Feel this illumination of your perception and follow Archangel Gabrielle into the light and up, up, up until you both are in a bright, pure white, room..
Face Archangel Gabrielle and ask her to illuminate your third eye (between your eyes) with the indigo and purple light of intuition. See the light coming from Archangel Gabrielle's heart center into your third eye. Feel the power of this light as it is absorbed. Let Archangel Gabrielle send you this energy until she feels you have received enough.
When she is through she turns and begins walking down a long, white hall. Follow her. At the end of the hall there is a door with a sign that says, Doorway to my higher self. When you are ready, open this door and greet your higher self. See your higher self as a radiant perfect being, a reflection of your physical self. Your higher self is a part of you, whatever you have been thinking or seeking, your higher self is aware and wants to share with you.
Ask your higher self for help in the physical realm in developing your intuition. Ask Archangel Gabrielle and your higher self for assistance in strengthening your connection with your higher self. Archangel Gabrielle envelopes you both in an egg of copper light. Sense this copper light transmitting energy of interaction and communication. Feel the bond from your heart center to your higher self expand and strengthen. Committo always being aware of the feelings that are always a part of you. Cherish your sense of instinct and intuition. Allow them to become part of your life from this point on.
Ask your higher self any question you may have. Your higher self will answer you in whatever way it is able. Wait as long as you have to. An answer will come. You will feel the answer inside yourself. Always know you are safe with each question, each answer. Stay with your thoughts. You will feel in touch with this inner messenger and you will trust the answers that came to you.
Thank your higher self for meeting with you and know you are forever connected. Understand that you may always ask your higher self for answersÊ anytime. Now turn and follow Archangel Gabrielle out the door and back down the long white hall. Take Archangel Gabrielle's hand and float back down to the river. Down, down, feeling secure and safe. You are eager to awaken with this new sense of yourself, excited to see how this will become part of your life.
Thank Archangel Gabrielle and ask her to protect you from negative thoughts and feelings that interfere with your receiving intuitive messages. Also thank your Spirit Guides and Angels for accompanying you on this journey.
Focus on grounding and centering yourself by picturing the roots from your feet into Mother Earth and breathing deeply and slowly.
Pause a moment and open your eyes.
If you had trouble hearing answers and information from your higher self, don't worry. Keep trying. Practice makes perfect! And remember, your higher self is just a thought away!
Working with the Archangels Part 2
Archangel Uriel
The Angel of Ministration. This archangel whose name means "Light of God," brings divine light into our lives as he transforms painful memories and releases painful burdens of the past. He helps turn our worst disappointments into our greatest blessings. Uriel assists us in releasing unforgiveness and resentment. When called on, Uriel and his legions rush to bring you peace.
Uriel's goal is to assist you in anchoring yourself in love that is strong enough to withstand negativity. Invite him into your life to assist you in becoming a master of your energies. He is a fiery angel and associated with absolute justice and remorse. When he is around, you may see sparkles of violet, indigo, lavender and silver.
In Christian tradition, Uriel is the Angel of Music, The Angel of Poetry and the Angel of Prophecy. Accepted as an archangel by the Church for many centuries, he was finally removed from the records in 745 AD as the Church became increasingly concerned with the prominence the public was placing upon angels.
Sometimes described as the Archangel of Salvation, Uriel teaches the path of the heart, the fire of pure Love. Ask Uriel to take your pain of the past, he will ease your heart and mind of old unforgiveness, towards yourself and others. Uriel's symbol of an open hand holding a flame depicts a great gift to humanity. It is the flame of Love to ignite the heart in service to God. Uriel holds out the flame of Love towards all souls. The soul by filling with the flame of Love becomes devoted to serving The Creator's plan. Uriel's flame of Love, the fire of God, the Light of God, purifies emotional and mental understanding transmuting the lower vibrations into frequencies that can assimilate Spiritual Understanding. The planet that Uriel is associated with is Venus, the planet symbolizing love.
Uriel is the master of bringing harmony into chaotic situations. He helps to center you in a place of inner peace during a crisis. He is also credited with helping to prevent and minimize danger in natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornados and floods. He will guide you to a safe area during these times.
Ask Uriel to assist you whenever your life seems so chaotic you feel overwhelmed. Say, Uriel, please help me to experience harmony and peace in this situation. I ask that you help to undo the effects of any mistakes that have been made.
Let Uriel soothe your mind and help you keep a cool head when things are going crazy. For instance, if your finances or love relationship feel as if they are falling apart, Uriel can help you think straight so you can find a solution to your problems with a calm, clear, collected mind.
When you are going through a turbulent life change, ask Uriel to smooth the path.
If you are having trouble with bosses, coworkers, or customers, ask Archangel Uriel to help you. He will guide you in miraculous ways. Everyone will soon forget why they were angry in the first place.
Sometimes we create our own problems Uriel can rescue us from these self-imposed crises. He is instrumental in helping us fulfill our goals and dreams.Ask Uriel to be your partner on anything you are working on.He will inspire you with ideas, keep you encouraged and motivated and help to manifest the material supplies that needed for projects.
The Archangel Uriel is traditionally considered the Angel of the Earth and assists in communicating with nature. He can be called on to assist with material and earthly matters. Uriel is the angel of Ecology, the science of the whole Earth and the inter-relationship of all life upon it.
He also supervises the Nature Spirits, those fairies and sprites who inhabit the elements of earth, air, fire and water, and who add so much to the beauty of nature.
Prayer to the Archangel Uriel Glory to God and his deeds,for everything is good and wonderful. Holy Archangel Uriel,protect and look after rivers,their waters we drink,life springs up from them; make vegetation sprout to feed Earth's creatures,make humans yield bread out of the land,wine to enliven his heart,oil and food to give him force.Encourage humans to honor Mother Earth and ALL the creatures that inhabit this planet. Help them to return this planet to its pure state. Thank you for intervening Archangel Uriel.
Releasing Guilt and Forgiving People
Guilt, regret and sorrow can completely hinder you. Forgiveness is very powerful, and not only just forgiving others, but for ourselves. Guilt is very unconstructive and causes negativity and frustration. Make sure you forgive yourself for all mistakes, incomplete promises and unfulfilled commitments.
Forgiveness fosters growth in mind and in spirit. We have all been wounded during our life, just as we have, at one time or another, hurt someone else. Since we're only human, we constantly make snap judgments and decisions that later we live to regret. It's important that everyone tries to do the best they can at the time, even though it may not seem so.
Forgiveness of others isn't easy, but necessary. Forgiveness enables us to be released from the pain of the past. It's is an act of the spirit, a way to let go of the bitterness and indignation we' ve carried for too long.
Forgiving someone who's hurt us doesn't mean we're excusing what he or she has done or let him or her hurt us again. It does mean that no matter how much we have suffered, we're stopping the cycle of pain and guilt with forgiveness and release.
Uriel can help to release emotional toxins that can be healed by forgiving someone. You must be willing to exchange your pain for peace. He has been known to deal out karmic debts to teach us to learn from our mistakes. He helps with issues of stability, ancestral heritage, and prophecy.
Before you go to sleep at night you can say, Uriel, please visit me in my sleep tonight to release this toxic situation.
Forgiveness Exercise People carry way too much metaphysical baggage with them through life. The guilt and hurt doesn't serve you or the person you have an issue with. Don't be self-righteous and wait for an apology that's never going to come. By holding onto the anger and disappointment, you're putting your peace of mind in someone else's hands.
To get rid of any guilt or forgiveness issues you haven't had the courage to deal with, here's a great tool! It takes about an hour or two but is very powerful.
Write a list of EVERYONE [and I mean everyone!] who's ever hurt you in any way. Go all the way back to nursery school until today (your list can never be too long!). Don't forget to add yourself to the list!
Special note for people who don't think they are ready to forgive. Even people that love us very much can sometimes hurt and betray us. Does that mean you have to hold a grudge and carry the bitterness with you for the remainder of your life? I hope not! If you do, think about how you felt when you were forgiven by someone. It's much more painful to look at our own faults and failings than to look at what others have done to us. It's much easier to blame problem on someone else, and who better than someone who has hurt us! But let's face it, we're all human, we all make mistakes.
Then list everyone you have hurt in your life, intentionally or unintentionally (this isn't a blame game).
After you are done, go through the list, name by name. For each person say, I forgive you and release all karmic energy we have together in all directions of time. I send you love and bless you on your way. Ask for Archangel Uriel's help to release the disappointments, unforgivenss and resentment you are feeling.
This takes a while but is very powerful. Free yourself and move on! If you feel like there was someone you still have trouble forgiving, go to Releasing Stubborn Negativity and Issues below.
Releasing Stubborn Negativity and Issues Go out into nature and ask a stone, leaf or nature object if it will take on your negative situation or issue. You will get a yes or no answer.
When you get a yes, thank the spirit of the object and set the object next to your bed and pray for the object to take the doubt,pain, sadness, addiction, whatever your issue, while you sleep.
In the morning, do not touch the object, take Kleenex and wrap it and take to a nearby ocean, lake, pond or stream and say, I release [issue] to nature to be cleansed and obliterated for eternity. Throw the rock into the water.
Thank nature for taking the issue and it will be done!
Meditation to Release Guilt and Forgive Others
This will be a difficult meditation for some people; however, the peace of mind it will bring you will make it worth your time. If you find it difficult to let go of painful memories, you may want to do only parts at a time. Start with asking for forgiveness from others, then during another meditation, ask for self-forgiveness then the next time, forgive others.
Find a quiet place and sit or lie down comfortably. Don't cross your legs or arms. Close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four. Hold it in for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, and hold for a count of four (this is called the four fold breath). As you do this, visualize all of the stress is leaving your body. Know that relaxation is very much a natural part of your being. If a distracting thought comes into your mind, just release it. Don't strain to keep thoughts from entering your mind; just release them on the next exhalation. Repeat this breathing technique 3 times then unconsciously continue breathing this way throughout the meditation.
Tell your Ego-self to move toward your left shoulder. Let the Ego-self know that it's only an observer during the meditation and know this is so. Ask your Angels, Guides and all that you desire to accompany you on this quest to release and forgive now.Ê Ask The Creator to send down a beam of protective white light. The Creator hears your request and in your mind's eye you can immediately envision a beam of light coming down from the universe. Watch it surround you in a protective glow.
Now you are ready to release. Mentally say, "Archangel Uriel please come to me now and release me of all guilt and resentment and help me forgive anyone I feel has wronged me." Archangel Uriel is instantly by your side ready to assist.
Begin breathing gently into your heart, feel all the barriers and pain that you that you have carried because you have not forgiven, not yourself, not others. Feel the constricting feelings of the closed heart.
Mentally ask Archangel Uriel to help you open your heart. Feel your heart center opening to forgiveness.
Prepare to ask others for forgiveness. Tell Archangel Uriel, There are many things I have done or said that have hurt and harmed others, betrayed or abandoned them, caused them suffering, purposely or accidentally, out of my own pain, fear,anger, and confusion. Show me, one by one, the ways I have hurt others.
Let Uriel show you, in your mind's eye, how you have hurt others. See and feel the pain you have caused others because of your own fear and confusion. Feel and own your grief and remorse. Watch Uriel bring the image of each person in front of you and then say to them, "For anything I may have done, either purposely or accidentally, that caused you pain, I ask for your forgiveness. For any words that were said out of thoughtlessness, anger, fear or confusion, I ask your forgiveness." Repeat for each person Uriel brings to you, one by one. After you have asked for forgiveness, bring everyone together and feel Uriel shower everyone in God's cleansing, sparkling white light. Watch any lingering issues float up to the light and disappear to be cleansed and transformed.
Your body may have tensed up during this remembering, focus on it again. Then take a few moments to feel your emotions and to let them go. Then focus on relaxing and being comfortable. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly. Ask Archangel Uriel to heal any tense or sore areas connected to these memories.
After relaxing for a few moments focus again on breathing into your heart.
Prepare to forgive yourself. Say, Archangel Uriel there are many ways that I have betrayed, harmed, or abandoned myself through thought, word, or deed, knowingly or unknowingly. Show me, one by one, the ways I have hurt myself.
Let Archangel Uriel show you the ways you ve hurt or harmed yourself. Remember these times. Feel the unhappiness you have carried from these actions, and know that you can release these burdens, extending forgiveness to them one by one. Say, "I forgive myself. I forgive myself." After releasing all the burdens say, For every time I have hurt myself through action or inaction, from fear, pain, and confusion. I now extend a full and heartfelt forgiveness. I forgive myself, I forgive myself. Now see and feel Archangel Uriel shower you in white, sparkly, cleansing light. Watch any lingering issues float up to the light and disappear to be cleansed and transformed.
Your body may have tensed up during this remembering, focus on it again. Then take a few moments to feel your emotions and to let them go. Then focus on relaxing and being comfortable. Ask Archangel Uriel to heal any tense or sore areas connected to these memories.
After relaxing for a few moments focus again on breathing softly into your heart.
Prepare to forgive others. Say to Archangel Uriel, There are many ways I have been wounded and hurt, abused and abandoned, by others in thought, word, or deed, knowingly or unknowingly. Archangel Uriel will show you images, one by one. Feel the sorrow you have carried from this past wrong doing and know that you can release yourself from this burden by extending forgiveness if your heart is ready.
Watch Uriel bring the image of each person you can ask for forgiveness in front of you and say, I realize you have hurt or harmed me, out of fear, pain, thoughtlessness, confusion or anger, I see this now. To the extent that I am ready, I offer you forgiveness. I have carried this pain in my heart too long. For this reason, I offer you my forgiveness. I forgive you and release all karmic energy we have together in all directions of time. Repeat for each person Uriel brings to you, one by one.After you have forgiven, bring everyone together and watch Uriel shower you in cleansing, sparkling white light. Watch any lingering issues float up to the light and disappear to be cleansed and transformed.
Your body may have tensed up bringing these memories up, focus on your physical body again, breathing very slowly and deeply. Take a few moments to feel your emotions and to let them go. Then focus on relaxing and being comfortable. Ask Archangel Uriel to heal any tense or sore areas connected to these memories. After relaxing for a few moments focus again on breathing into your heart.
Feel the release and ask Archangel Uriel to fill up those empty spaces within yourself with God's loving white light. Feel yourself filing up with this positive, radiant energy. Leave no open, empty spaces for the old angers and pain to return.
Now, in your mind's eye, see Archangel Uriel, holding a heart-shaped gift box. This gift is etherically installed in your heart, serving as a reminder of his connection with you. The heart is a major portal for the flow of beauty and creativity, both outward and inward. This angelic "gift box" in your heart is where you will hold Uriel's energies of forgiveness, beauty, appreciation and creative expression.
Focus on grounding and centering yourself by picturing the roots from your feet into Mother Earth and breathing deeply and slowly.
Then slowly and gradually allow yourself to return to consciousness. Open your eyes.
Archangel Raphael
The name means "God Heals." Archangel Raphael is the archangel that supervises healers and healing for all Earth's population. It's sensible for everyone to call upon Archangel Raphael for his help in healing.
Ask Raphael for help when you are in any kind of pain, whether it be physical, emotional romantic, intellectual or spiritual. He will somehow inspire you with sudden ideas and thoughts giving you just the right information to help the healing. Pay attention to and then follow these angelic answers to your prayers.
When asked for healing assistance, Raphael surrounds and nurtures people with the emerald green light of his halo. Green is the color of healing and clairvoyant people may see emerald green sparkles when Raphael is around.
Except for situations where the person's death or illness is part of their overall divine plan, Archangel Raphael will energetically supply whatever is needed to promote healing. It's important to note He will not always swoop in and heal everything right away. He could let you know that your negative thoughts have created this illness and to get rid of it, you must change your thinking. Hand over old anger to him for cleansing in the light.When this anger is gone, you will feel much more at peace and the effects of rage and anger in your body can be healed.
Raphael coaches and motivates healers whispering instructions into the ears of doctors, surgeons, psychologists, nurses and other caregivers including scientists. His intervention helps scientists in making breakthroughs in medical cures.
Ask for Raphael's participation to promote healing in rocky marriages, addiction, grief and loss, family relationships and stressful lifestyles. Simply say his name or make a specific request: Archangel Raphael, please come to my side and help me feel better about [issue]. Please surround me in your healing energy and guide my actions and thoughts so that I am healed.
Raphael is also the archangel in charge of travel. As you check in at the airport, ask Raphael watch over your luggage, the plane and your travels. Raphael and the traveler angels and can control airplane turbulence, give you directions when you're lost, keep a leaky tire inflated and prevent your car from running out of gas (for a while anyway!).
Ask Raphael to smooth the way in all your travels. Don't forget to thank Archangel Raphael and the angels for their help!
Healing Meditation with Archangel Raphael
You can work with Archangel Raphael and his healing energy using meditation.
To prepare say a prayer to God/dess, to please help you be as open to the healing as possible and to join in the healing work and support you through your healing process.
Sit comfortably where you will not be disturbed. Begin by grounding and centering yourself. Close your eyes and imagining roots growing from your feet into Mother Earth. Then follow this simple breathing exercise to relax your physical body: breathe in through your nose, hold it for 7 seconds, and release it very slowly through your mouth. Repeat 3 times then unconsciously continue breathing this way throughout the meditation. Tell your Ego-self to move toward your left shoulder. Let the Ego-self know that it's only an observer during the healing and know this is so. Ask God/dess to send down a beam of protective white light. God/dess hears your request and in your mind's eye you immediately envision a beam of light coming down from the universe. Watch it surround you in a protective glow.
Call Archangel Raphael, either mentally or out loud and ask.
Archangel Raphael please come to me now and assist me in my healing. If you like, also invite in your Higher Self and your own Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels. You don't need to know their names, just say "Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels, please join Archangel Raphael in my healing session."
In your mind's eye, picture Raphael standing over you with his hands outstretched over your head. See the healing energy in the form of green light flowing from his hands down into your body through your crown chakra (the top of your head). Try to relax and feel the energy. You may not be able to feel the energy at first, but after doing this a few times (if needed), you will probably begin to become more sensitive to the energy. Most people feel the healing energy as warmth or tingling. Others feel a soft and loving stream running through their body. Whatever you feel is right for you. The first time, let this energy flow through you for a while,opening you to Archangel Raphael's curative energy and preparing you on all levels to accept the healing. This initial step can last for several minutes or until you feel that it is time to move on to the next step.
Now change the focus onto specific parts of your body. Picture Raphael's hands over these areas and feel and see the green light flowing through his hands to your injury or area of illness.
When you are through, thank Archangel Raphael, and ask him to protect you from negative thoughts and feelings that manifest into health problems. Also thank your Spirit Guides and Angels for assisting in the healing.
Focus on grounding and centering yourself. Again, picture the roots from your feet into Mother Earth.
Now open your eyes.
It does not matter if you are good at visualization, or whether or not you can physically feel the healing energy from Archangel Raphael and your intentions are what you are healed by. This method works with injuries and illnesses equally well.
You may repeat this work several times a day if necessary, or whenever you feel you need it.
Once you are used to healing work with Archangel Raphael, your Spirit Guides and Angels, you can ask them for quick relief and healing. This is especially helpful for chronic conditions they regularly work with you on such as pain relief.
Please remember to thank Archangel Raphael, your Guides and Angels for their help. It's not necessary but they really appreciate the acknowledgment that you know they are their working with you. You can also take the time and opportunity to talk with them, either telepathically in your mind or softly out loud. They do hear what you say and acknowledge in ways that they can, even if you can't hear their responses back to you in words.
Healing Others with Archangel Raphael's Energy
You can also work with Archangel Raphael to heal others. We are all beings of lightand anyone can work with the healing energy and assist in another person's healing. You do not need any special training to do this type of healing work. You just act as a channel for the healing energy. All that is needed is your intention to help the other person in their highest good.Archangel Raphael, your Higher Self and Spirit Guides, and the Higher Self and Spirit Guides of the person you are doing the healing work with are directing the healing being done. Your main job is support for the person, or receiver, and to facilitate the healing work.
Make the person you are going to work on comfortable by having them sit in a chair or lay down. Together, ask your ego-selves to move toward your left shoulders. Let the ego-selves know they are only observers during the healing and know this is so. Ask your Angels, Guides and the receiver's Angels and Guides to accompany you on this quest to heal now. Ask God/dess to send down a beam of protective white light. God/dess hears your request and in your mind's eye you can immediately envision a beam of light coming down from the universe. Watch it surround you and the receiver in a protective glow.
Both of you say, out loud, Archangel Raphael please come to us now and assist in the healing in [Healer]'s highest good and that [Receiver] accepts the healing in their own highest good.
Of course, all of this can be done silently. The person being healed doesn't have to participate in the prayers and invitation. But it is helpful if they do take an active role in the healing.
Place your hands on or above the person's head. Picture Archangel Raphael standing behind you and working through you. Try to envision or feel the healing green light energy flowing from Archangel Raphael into your hands and then into the crown chakra of the receiver. Your hands may become warm from the energy.
After several minutes of this, move on to specific areas of the body where it is needed the most. Trust your own feelings and guidance on the length of time to spend on each area and where to place your hands.
You could be guided to work on areas that have nothing to do with the areas of the symptoms, disease or injury. This could be underlying causes or just a separate need for healing in that area of the body. Just follow your intuition.
When you are through, don't forget to thank Archangel Raphael and the spirits involved.
Working with Archangel Raphael and his healing energy is very easy. The healing is done by your intention and willingness to work with the Beings of Light ministering to you and the people that you are working with.
