Archangels to the Rescue!

Imagine having a stream of blessings flowing through your life. Because that's exactly what you can receive if you turn to these heavenly beings for spiritual help. Archangels are powerful spiritual beings of light, high up the hierarchy of light-workers. They can bring joy, peace, protection and healing to your life. For times when you are feeling lost, scared, unhappy or unsure of yourself, archangels can be your protectors. Ask for guidance and you will be shown the light in even the darkest of situations.

Ask an Archangel

Here's how to ask for help from an archangel.

1) Ensure what you are asking for is for good purposes only. Being creatures of light, angels won't answer greedy, selfish or negative requests! Perhaps you're looking for healing, peace of mind, protection, or new direction in life. These are all good requests.

2) Close your eyes and concentrate on your request. Repeat the name of the archangel in your mind. Ask from the heart. Be polite, gracious and honest in your words.

3) Be alert for your answer by being aware of any coincidences or signs that crop up as these may be your angelic message. Be aware that requests may be granted in unexpected ways. Make sure you act positively once you see your sign.
