Working with Archangel Raphael

Article by Deborah Lloyd, Reiki Master

All the Archangels and Angels have unique, individual vibrations; and, we are able to access the strongest, appropriate vibration for any problem or issue that we face. Archangel Raphael is the Angel of Healing and is available to Reiki practitioners in their work, and in their own healing journeys.

Raphael’s guidance is available to every person who works in the health care field and/ or in complementary modalities. By simply invoking his name, and stating the intention of bringing healing to the recipient of care, his energies will be present. Reiki serves to enhance his energies, as the practitioner is in an open, meditative state, already connecting to the Universal Life Force Energy. Since Reiki can bring healing to the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person’s being, Raphael can assist in channeling and strengthening the energies directly to the root cause of an issue. An example is a Reiki client who is suffering from migraine headaches. Raphael assists the Reiki energies to heal the emotional blocks resulting from the person’s lack of confidence in his career. The fears are released and confidence returns. Soon, the headaches dissipate.

Raphael primarily works with the Heart chakra, the center of love, truth and healing. Love and truth go hand-in-hand. It is not possible to know the truth of Divine Wisdom, if a person does not accept – and know within himself – the fact that he always has been, and will always continue to be, unconditionally loved. He must know that no matter what negative actions, or thoughts, he has had, all will be forgiven – all he has to do is ask. As his self-love grows, then he will feel called to bring this kind of unconditional love to all the people in his life. Intimate relationships will be taken to a deeper level of understanding and acceptance. Joy and peace will be evident in our homes and communities again.

As healing occurs on the individual and close-relationship level, it will soon spread outward to other people. When one has experienced what true love is, there is only one choice – to bring it into the world. This manifestation of love for all peoples is possible. In fact, it is vital in healing our earth. As long as greed and the wrong use of power exist, our earth cannot heal. Wars, poverty and depletion of natural resources will continue. But, we have the power to change it.

Raphael offers us a beautiful choice – the choice to bring joy and peace back to earth. Each Reiki session that we do for others – and for ourselves – takes us one step closer to achieving this goal. This is not some pie-in-the-sky dream, or an impossible feat. It is possible, if we believe that it is!

If you think your work is not important, or you cannot make a difference, then please examine your thoughts, and ask Raphael to assist you in your healing. You are needed to bring light into the world. Raphael, and all the angels, are among us, simply waiting for an invitation to be part of our daily experience. Their goal is to act as messengers from the Divine, and to assist us on our healing journeys. Simply ask.
