Releasing Self-Criticism with Archangel Gabriel

A few weeks ago I had an intuitive reading from a fellow healer who told me that I had to work on forgiveness. I have been receiving that same message in my daily meditations, but I can't say that I am mad at anyone or anything so I had no idea what that meant.

So I asked my friend for clarification and her answer was that I had to forgive myself, be less critical of myself. I laughed nervously, and as my angel reading tutor used to say, if we give an angel message and the person has a bout of nervous laughter, well done!

The message was spot on but I had never thought of forgiveness that way. I do have a tendency to be critical of myself, focusing on what I could have done better in any situation. It's not fun to be around!

Natal Astrology could make it easy for me to blame that tendency on the three big planets that I have in the perfectionist sign of Virgo. But from a self-healing point of view, the idea is to spot character traits that become defects when exaggerated, and to soften those traits.

Virgo Aside: My initial reaction was to think that I should have been thorough and asked for clarification in my daily meditation.

So how do I go about forgiving myself??? My favorite tools are Energy Healing and angel meditations. I usually ask Archangel Michael to send the archangel or guide who can help me heal and release the issue that I am working on, as discussed in both of my energy healing books.

I was surprised to see that Archangel Gabriel turned up. In my mind he was the archangel of pregnancies, intuition and communication, but then I remembered a lecture that I attended at the Kabbalah Centre years ago. The speaker referred to Archangel Gabriel as the angel of judgement, how he is identified in Judaism. Since then I have discovered that Gabriel can help us clear and release judgements that have been unfairly placed on us - in this instance, judging myself.

The past month I have been connecting with Archangel Gabriel to release that critical tendency and honestly, I feel so much better! Coincidentally, Gabriel is also the Angel of Water, which includes the compassionate sign of Pisces. When we talk about healing with astrology, this all-forgiving Water sign sits opposite Virgo on the Zodiac wheel. Water can be used to integrate and heal both polarities so that neither is exaggerated; we need discernment and compassion. Coincidentally, the spheres on the Tree of Life that relate to judgment and compassion are on the same level; it's where we need to clock in to release judgments, or to access intuition.

Here is a meditation to connect with Archangel Gabriel (link). We are in the month of Virgo until the 23rd of September; he can help us balance the Virgo/Pisces polarity so that we can be loving, forgiving and non-judgemental, accepting perfectionists. This leaves room for healing and personal growth. In Spiritual Astrology, Jan Spiller identifies non-judgemental perfectionism as the remedy for the three planets that were in Virgo when I was born, especially the taskmaster Saturn.

Healing with Astrology

If you are new to astrology, the natal chart takes a snapshot of the sky at the moment of our birth and tells us how that energy influences our feelings, beliefs and attitudes.

The Sun Sign depends on the month of birth but the rest of the planets can be in different signs. So you could be born in April, for example, and not feel like an Aries personality - this is one of the reasons why horoscopes can be hit or miss. My Aquarius Sun is more or less outweighed by the three planets that were in Virgo when I was born. You could say that I am an Aquarius with a strong slant in the Virgo healing/perfectionist direction.

Stay tuned for more on astrology! In the meantime, the foundation steps of energy healing and intuition are in my book, Chakra Healing & Magick.

Let's Team Up with the Angels (of the Elements)

Today I'd like to focus on the Elements and how the angels help us awaken the qualities of inspired action, empathy, structure and dialogue in our daily lives. The Elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air are present in the Aura (as discussed in Chakra Healing & Magick) and in our astrology.

Ideally we would balance and integrate all four Elements, becoming well-rounded so that we can spread our wings and fly.

We can connect with the archangel that we are drawn to at any given time, or with those relevant to our Zodiac signs. For example, connecting with Archangels Gabriel and Uriel to strike balance between intuitive flow (Water) and being stable or structured (Earth). Water and Earth are opposites on the Zodiac Wheel, always complementing each other!

The meditations below are designed to help you integrate each of the Elements, regardless of your natal chart. Natal Astrology will be covered in later posts.

The Angel of Fire: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Archangel Michael is the Angel of Fire, better known for his role as the protector. He fills us with courage, faith and strength to pursue our dreams. His light is often seen as electric blue, burning through our fears and filling us with confidence to make it happen. Michael is known as the leader of the archangels.

The Angel of Water: Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces.

Archangel Gabriel is all about communication, language and emotions. She helps us develop our intuition so that we listen to our Heart and communicate our feelings, rather than letting them simmer, or grow into an ocean of watery sensations. The angel of clairaudience too!

The Angel of Air: Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini.

Archangel Raphael is a Healer. He is a rush of fresh Air that shakes us loose and dislodges stagnant energy. Take a deep breath and that oxygen will reach your entire physical body through the heart and circulatory system. Archangel Raphael refreshes our energy. Raphael helps us clear stagnant blocks of energy from the mental layer of the Aura, where thoughts, beliefs and opinions are often held.

The Angel of Earth: Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo.

Archangel Uriel is the Angel of Earth. His primary interest is helping us find our path in life while making sure that our material, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs are met. This makes him a wonderful companion for the practical and goal-oriented Earth signs. He also takes the weight of the world off our shoulders.

Archangel Ariel's Fertility Tips

A few weeks ago I met up with friends to give them Angel Readings - homework for my intuition class. The reading for Jenny, one of my pals, was enlightening and with her permission I would like to share it here. The word fertility came to mind before I got there, spelled out in big white blocks not unlike the decorations you'll see in a newborn's room. The theme wasn’t a surprise because I knew she and her husband want kids. However, we didn’t expect Archangel Ariel because she is usually linked to flowers and nature, whereas Archangels Gabriel and Raphael look after moms, children and pregnancies. Archangel Ariel's connection with Mother Earth means she is concerned with children, families & harmony.

A Cosmic Adoption Process

It’s been said that we choose our parents based on our life purpose and the skills, handicaps or lessons that we are meant to overcome. During the reading, I got the feeling that harmony and "energy compatibility" will be deciding factors, and that when a soul is ready to be born they are placed in close proximity to potential moms and dads so they can feel their vibes. Our angels and guides shepherd the process (though logically I don't know how this relates to accidental or teenage pregnancies). I got the feeling that Jenny & Hubby were going through this process now and that they just had to be "patient, relaxed and happy" to keep their energy receptive. I also heard the word "conscious baby" but again, not sure what it means. Crystal or Indigo?

Energy Clearing and Balancing

I tend to sense Archangel Ariel’s energy as silver or pink light. It’s easier for us to sense her when we are sitting in a garden or a park: flowers, vegetation and even bees are part of her allure. Her first suggestion was for Jenny to sit in her garden and just ask for her energy field to be cleared of urban muck. The more stressed, hurried and cloudy our energy is; the less appealing it appears to spirit.

She suggested Jenny surround herself with light pink and orange: flowers, jewelry, crystals, clothing or cushions. The colors we wear leave a temporary imprint on our Aura. Pink has a soft, loving feel whereas a orange is linked with the Sacral Chakra (female reproductive organs and fertility) and a pastel orange would have a softer more appealing vibe than a bright orange. No need to do wall to wall pinks and oranges, just a few details here and there. Certain crystals also make the atmosphere more welcoming for the baby; Selenite and Rose Quartz stones have soft, loving vibrations.

Ariel also suggested Jenny drink natural Rose Tea to clear her energy from the inside out, potentially using Reiki or Healing to activate the color healing aspect.

The home environment could also be cleared once a week, to keep the vibes upbeat and happy. Music is great way to do this; listening to classical music balances and clear the Chakras as each musical note resonates with a specific chakra. Ultimately listen to music that you enjoy as like attracts like.

Don’t Pick a Name Just Yet!

Names have a resonance and not everyone wants to be Richard or Anne (even if both are lovely names). Archangel Ariel suggested Jenny & Hubby keep their options open and receptive by waiting before choosing a name. If the first-born is going to be “so and so the third” they may have to wait for “so and so” to appear but otherwise, wait and let your intuition choose the baby’s true name.

Call on Your Joy Guides!

Sleepless nights may be just around the corner. Enjoy yourself, don't stress and let life run it's course. Archangel Ariel suggested that Jenny call on her Joy Guides to add an extra dose of laughter to their lives. We all have Joy Guides, they often look like kids even though they're old souls. If Jenny sensed a child like energy around her it could very well be her Guide - joyful and mischievous.

Practice Detachment

The most consistent advice was for Jenny to practice the art of detachment. Being highly intuitive, she had already begun to sense new energy around her. Archangel Ariel suggested that she let the process follow it's course and that if this wasn't the "one" another would come along. Sometimes we can block ourselves by focusing too much on the experience we want to create. Ariel's parting advice was for Jenny to enjoy herself, clear herself and stay detached.

It's worth mentioning that my logical side kicked in at the end and I suggested Jenny follow up with her doctor just to be sure there weren't any physical considerations to address. Readings aren't a substitute for medical care and there will always be other practical and physical elements to consider.

On a side note, this reading also stood out because I got my first foreign language word. Towards the end of the reading, the message came back to the Cosmic Adoption Process and I got what I took to be a word in Spanish (aclimatizar) that I hardly ever use because I find it hard to pronounce. I mumbled my way through it, only to find out that it’s very close to the German word for the same concept. Jenny and Hubby are both German and intuitively, this "word" was their take on the matter. They were in a “climate testing” stage, getting to know each others energies, etc. The word served as confirmation for them.
