ck to fulfilling your unique life's purpose.

First of all, the Archangels want you to call on them for help. Don't worry that you are overburdening them Archangels can help people simultaneously. They also have armies of angels working under them to assist you in all ways. You can call on them whenever you need powerful and immediate assistance. They will be at your side right away. No job is too large or too small for the Archangels to take on.

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!
