Archangel Raphael
by Janice Olson

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.
