~Archangels II~

Here is a list of Archangels and some tools on how to strengthen your communication with them. I also included some information about the Archangels that I work with the most. I have communicated with all the Archangels, but there are a few who work very closely with me, so I have stronger relationship with them.

~ Archangel Michael ~ Archangel Gabriel ~ Archangel Raphael ~ Archangel Uriel ~ Archangel Chamuel ~ Archangel Jophiel ~ Archangel Ariel ~ Archangel Raquel ~ Archangel Azrael ~ Archangel Haniel ~ Archangel Camael ~ Archangel Jeremiel ~ Archangel Raziel ~ Archangel Sariel ~ Archangel Sandalphon ~ Archangel Metatron ~

* Archangel Michael~ Meaning – “Who is like unto God.” Michael holds a flaming sword, which he uses to cut away negativity and fear. Michael is thought to be the first Archangel created and he is very powerful! His main qualities are strength, protection, and truth. He is also a supportive force for helping lightworker’s in achieving their life’s purpose, by encouraging us to follow the truth in our hearts without fear. He can also be called on for help with anything electrical or mechanical like, computers, phones, and cars. I also call on Michael if I am feeling threatened in any situation, or if I have been having bad dreams. He always comes to me when I call and he feels so loving, and safe to me. I always feel so much better with him by side and I feel as if he adds his power to my own strength and integrity. I usually see a lot of blue and violet sparkles of light when Michael is near.

* Archangel Gabriel~ “The Divine strength of God.” Gabriel is called the “Messenger Angel” and is known for being the Angel who brought the message to Mary that she would give birth to her son Jesus. Gabriel is the only Archangel that is depicted as being female. She is very powerful and loves to support artists like, musicians, writers, painters, performers, and communicators. Gabriel supports us seeing, and understanding our life’s path. I call on Gabriel to help with interpreting dreams, and communicating with souls who have crossed over. She is great for getting me inspired for my writing projects and preparing for teaching a class as well. Gabriel also told me that she has the ability to grant wishes!  I see silver flashes of light when Gabriel is near. It is important to note that Gabriel also appears as male sometimes too, but when I call on Gabriel, she always appears as female.

* Archangel Raziel~ Meaning – “He who sees Truth.” Raziel appears to me looking like a wizard. He has beautiful, flowing white hair and beard. I see a rainbow of sparkles when Raziel is near me and he always carries a staff with glowing colorful orbs of light in it. Raziel uses sacred geometry for healing and Divine magic when he works with me. He also helps me with all of my psychic abilities, and assists me with astral travel. You may call on Raziel to help you open up your psychic abilities and to understand high level information. He is very kind and he inspires me to be open to new ideas, and encourages me in being an eternal student, always eager to learn more about our unlimited universe.

* Archangel Raphael~ Meaning – “Divine Healer of God” Raphael is very loving and kind! He always speaks to me in a soft, sweet voice and has a beautiful smile. He gives me advise like, the best way to heal myself is to find reasons to smile and laugh daily. I see lots of swirling green sparks when Raphael is near. Raphael is a very powerful healer and supports all forms of healing. I call on Raphael to assist me when I am performing a healing, and he helps me with clearing away any negative debris left behind from a healing. He also helps when you need encouragement to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, of exercise and a balanced diet. If you need healing or support in making healthy lifestyle changes, then call on Raphael!

* Archangel Haniel~ Meaning – “Full of God’s Grace” Haniel is another Archangel that appears as a female when she comes to me. Haniel is an Angel of clairvoyance, and she helps me to see, and understand the visual images that I receive. She also guides me with what kinds of crystals, and stones I should use during a healing for myself, or for a client. She helps me to keep calm in frustrating situations by helping me to see the beauty, and Divine light in everything. If I am speaking in front of a large group of people Haniel always helps to raise my vibration, and to soothe my mind. When Haniel is near I always see sparks of pink, and light blue.

If you wish to call on any of the Archangels here are a few tools that will help you to begin. You may start by putting on some soft music, and lighting a large white candle. When you light the candle, say a prayer, setting your intention to communicate directly with the Archangels. Sitting quietly in front of the candle, take a few deep breathes, to add fresh oxygen to your body, and brain. Then the first Archangel’s name that comes to mind is the one to start your communication with. Invoke the Archangel by saying their name, in a chanting fashion, 7 times. This helps you to raise the frequency of your vibration to match the Archangel you are wishing to communicate with. After invoking the Angel by chanting their name, then just begin your conversation with them, by telling why you have called on them, and asking for their guidance. After telling the Angel what you want help with, allow yourself to get very relaxed, and quiet so that you may receive their subtle messages. Sometimes this will sound like your own voice speaking to you inside your mind, and don’t second guess this, as sometimes in the beginning this how they will sound to you. Always remember to write down all of the thoughts, feelings, visuals, and words you’ve received. End by thanking the Angels and letting them know that you are open for communication with them at any time. Practice this method until you feel comfortable that you have established a strong connection. Remember to allow yourself to have fun with this process. The Angels will connect with you more smoothly if your vibration is high, and happy people have a high vibration!

Blessings to you all!

~Crystals and Stones~

Crystals and stones have been used since the dawn of man on this planet for healing, protection, manifesting, decorating and adorning. For centuries crystals, gems, and semi precious stones have been worn by royalty, high ranking religious figures, and the wealthy, not only to display their social status, but also to protect them from harm, and increase their abundance. The ancient civilization of Atlantis is thought to have used crystals for healing and for drawing source energy to manifest plentiful crops by controlling the weather. Today many energy healers and medical doctors use crystals for healing. Crystals are used in lasers for surgeries, and used to amplify the healing energy of Reiki and all types of energy healing modalities.

Crystals and stones are found everywhere in the world, and come in many different of shapes and colors. Some individuals are highly attuned to, or sensitive to the energy of minerals and stones. They are drawn to them by their powerful vibration, abilities to protect,  amplify,  transform, and  transmute the energies around them. I have collected stones since I was a  little girl. Most of my warm weather days were spent searching for stones and crystals by my parents home. I loved them so much, I was constantly coming home with my arms and pockets filled with them. Now I have a rather large collection in my home. They help to keep the energy in my living environment at high and balanced state. I use them for healing, to amplify my psychic abilities, for meditation, and to support my energy field while I work. They are so beautiful and precious to me and most of the stones that I own have come to be in my possession because they literally called to me. I am especially attuned to their frequency and can hear them “humming” or “singing” to me.

Here is a short list of just some of my favorite stones that I use in my healing therapies:

Clear quartz – Amplifies energy, attunes energy to spiritual purpose and enhances metaphysical abilities.

Rose quartz – Great emotional healer, and opens the heart to unconditional love for all life.

Amethyst – Purifies the aura, encourages selflessness and spiritual wisdom.

Calcite – Calms the mind and balances the emotions.

Fluorite – Draws off negative energy and relieves stress.

Lapis – A multidimensional healer, lapis releases us from all emotional bondage, and heightens clairvoyance.

Selenite – Supports connections to angelic realms, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere and promotes mental clarity.

Labradorite – Helps to strengthen those going through transition. Heightens awareness and releases fear.

Malachite – Great stone of protection. Powerful cleanser of emotional damage from childhood and past lives.

If you are interested in collecting some stones and crystals for yourself, the best way to choose is to hold a stone that draws your attention in your left hand, allowing yourself to feel the energy of the stone. If it makes you feel peaceful and happy, then it is a good stone for you. Make sure that you take the time to learn about all the qualities of your stones and how to properly cleanse and charge them.

Stones and crystals are gifts of the earth. I encourage everyone to have the adventure starting a collection of their own!

Gifts Of Creating And Maintaining An Altar.

Creating your own sacred space, or an altar, doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. An altar is simply a small space, that you create, where you place beautiful and meaningful objects to symbolize your true essence and positive energy. Altars can also focus on manifesting your own personal desires.  For example, in many different cultures and for many centuries, a Wishing Tree or Kissing Tree has commonly been used as a sort of community altar, for manifesting wishes and desires. So going with that magical idea, the newest altar that I am setting up in my home, with my family, is a beautiful indoor tree or plant, surrounded with some of my favorite stones/crystals. Near the tree, is a bowl containing decorative strips of paper and string. The family and anyone who visits our home, will be invited to write down a wish on one of the strips of paper and then gently tie it to a branch of our “Wishing Tree.” The idea being, that as the tree grows all of our wishes are fulfilled! This concept can fill your home with the energy of hope, faith and help to support the belief that a positive frame of mind can produce positive outcomes.

My own personal altar holds flowers, crystals/stones, candles and photos. This represents a sacred space for me to connect to spirit and my higher self. I sometimes write down affirmations for myself and place them on or near my altar to help with reminding me of my own desires and my personal power.

Remember that an altar doesn’t have to be based in any religion or specific set of beliefs or ideas. It should be a special place in your home that displays an expression of you and makes you feel good. An alter is a wonderful way to bring a flow of positive energy to your home and a little bit of magic into your life.

I maintain my altars by spending a few moments every day making sure that they are clean and hold items that are meaningful to me at the present time.  I also spend time everyday near my altars in meditation and prayer. This practice helps me to be grounded, peaceful and serene!

Blessings,

Karen~
