An Archangel is like a supreme commander of a group of wonderful light beings who assist and guide us. They are beyond the physical realm and work on rays of light. The are messengers who are here to help us create a better way.

Here are some of my favourite Archangels. Each one has their own characteristics and qualities in which to foster within yourself. They each have something unique to offer just as you do and working with them directly brings everyday miracles into your life. Humans often like to personify things as this helps us to understand. Whether you think of these as beautiful beings sent to help guide us or qualities or aspects of yourself to foster and grow, the experience of inviting them into your life will help you in many ways.

Archangel Michael is my number one go to guy for most things. He is the archangel to call upon for guidance, protection, and strength. He emanates the Creator’s awesome qualities of  love, power, strength and unwavering faith in humanity.  He is the guardian of the earth realm. He is always ready to stand by with his leagues of helper angels to remove lower energies, cut the cords that can bind us to people and the past as well offers love, courage and strength to anyone who calls upon him. You might see dark blue sparkles of light and/or feel flush cheeks when you are working with his light. He opens your heart with spiritual fire and invokes love and healing as he washes away all that is transient and unnecessary.

Archangel Gabriel is the messenger angel and he is often thought of as the Archangel of Communication and Creative Expression.  This archangel often overlights writers and those who communicate messages of love and healing. Ask Archangel Gabriel to help you express yourself  and guide you to lovingly, truthfully and clearly speak your truth. Tap into your inner wisdom and let it be your strength and guide. Remember that worry becomes a prayer that you can attract to you, so carefully choose the thoughts and words you use for yourself and others.

Archangel Raphael is the archangel of healing. He can assist you on all levels, physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual of healing. He is the angel of the heart chakra and says that love truly heals all things. Ask for this beloved healing angel to be with you and help you to heal. He will bring you to the right people and places to make that happen. He is also the one to call upon should you wish to embark on the journey of a healer. He will guide you to teachers, classes, and the assistance you may need.

Archangel Zadkiel is the archangel for mercy, forgiveness, and benevolence. He is a great teacher of living in higher ways. He is the perfect archangel to work with if you have stuff you need to understand, release, transform and let go. He is ready to help you walk the path of light and transform your life.  He loves to teach by showing you what it is you need to know. He will use repetitive messages if you do not see what is right in front of you so pay attention when you choose to work with him.

Archangel Uriel works on the ray of wisdom and understanding. He is the energy of illumination and divine inspiration.  He can help you to unlock the mysteries of the Universe as well as guide your everyday life with moments of inspiration upon which to act upon. If you want to take your spiritual understanding and teaching to a higher level, then call upon Archangel Uriel and the wisdom angels to further your path of enlightenment. When the student is ready, this teacher will come.

Pick one Archangel and begin your journey in a new light.

Your Angel Guidance is to work with your favourite Archangel everyday for 2 weeks:

Pick your favourite Archangel and commit to inviting them into your life for 2 weeks. Each morning and night do a little ritual, have a little conversation, or think of ways you can utilize the qualities each one can bring into your life.

After your two weeks are up, notice any changes in that area of your life. Then, choose a different one to work with and allow the aspects and characteristics each one embodies to enhance your life!

Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xoxox
