Co-Creating with the Archangels

In 2009, I discovered a book that made me take astrology seriously- Jan Spiller’s Astrology for the Soul. It uses reverse psychology to help us find happiness outside of our comfort zone. The path is found along the North Node of the Moon (your soul’s north star). It blew my mind; in my case, I had to be less of an Aquarius and let myself shine. Be more of a Leo. 

I was so enchanted with Astrology for the Soul that I read another book of hers on New Moons. Here Jan teaches us to time our vision boards and affirmations so they correspond with the Moon’s zodiac sign. So for example, if you want to give your love life or social life a boost, you would wait for the Moon in Libra or Taurus, as Venus rules both. The Moon gives us an extra oomph. 

After a few months I went back to the Archangels - they can help us 24/7. I am not discarding moon phases because they can be powerful, but we might as well call on the Archangels to get traction with our plans. There are a whole host of angels that we can call on, today I'll focus on the ones that support our efforts with courage, synchronicities and healing. Enjoy! 



Finding Your Courage

It should come as no surprise that courage is Archangel Michael’s domain. He is the patron saint of armies, police officers and firefighters, bringing courage and also honesty and integrity to professions of service and protection. Michael can give us a friendly push when we are stuck in our comfort zone. Ask him to ground your energy and fill you with courage, direction and clarity. He can also grab our attention when an opportunity arises so that we don’t miss out. If we are doing too much he will give us a time out, as pushing too hard can be counterproductive. Michael can help us find that delicate balance. 

Catching the Wave

As a kid I loved boogie boarding. It's like surfing, only you lay flat on your stomach even after you’ve caught the wave. Being in the right place at the right time often meant catching a big enough wave and riding it to shore. If you were too far out, no amount of paddling would get you there in time. The universe works in a similar way with different forces carrying us forward, or passing us by if we are no where near enough when the wave breaks. This is where I like to call on Archangel Raziel for help. Raziel is the keeper of secrets, especially where universal energy, metaphysics and astrology are concerned. He can teach us to work with these energy currents, bringing them closer so we can ride that wave. 

Archangel Raziel is an expert magician who works closely with Archangel Orion. I have an odd story about Orion. Two years ago I went on a workshop where the facilitator tried to make her job more interesting by poking fun at us during group readings. I left after that session because it made me feel very uncomfortable - in school, we were taught to be mindful of how we did readings in public. Before she began her reading, she did tell me that I had a team of star guides who were popping in to say hello. They wanted to say that I was a Teacher and not to forget them. She suggested I connect with the star Sirius, but when I tuned later, I got the word ORION. 

This was two years ago and I hadn't given it much thought. Last week I went for a power walk before my angel intuition class and the Sirius vs Orion question came to mind. Once again, my intuition pointed me towards Orion, and a few seconds later I turned a corner to see a construction truck with the name ORION spelled out on the side. What a coincidence! A few hours later I went to class. We were connecting with an angel that I had never heard of: Archangel Orion, the Manifesting Angel. He is associated with the Orion belt, and we can work with him to tap into the star power in the Universe. 

According to the Sefer Yetzirah, an ancient Kabbalistic text, angels work through stars and planets to reach us. I believe the team of star guides above were angels of the stars *

Be Ready to Receive

The last point is about feeling worthy of the things we desire, and this is where a lot of us trip up. The good news is we can work with Archangels Haniel and Chamuel, the Angels of Healing and Unconditional Love to boost our self-esteem, our sense of worth and heal our Heart Chakras. Energetically we tend to receive anything "good" through our Heart Chakras, and we can also learn to co-create with the Heart by meditating with pink crystals. Archangel Haniel is also linked with the Moon and we can connect with her to get a better understanding of how our energy stands. You could say that grounding your energy and healing the Heart should be first on our list, without it we risk creating wonderful things and not allowing them into our lives.

Blending Intuition & Logic ... 


Our intuition is the gateway to creativity and problem solving, giving us ideas that we can pursue. Those intuitive visions give us glimpses of potential futures and solutions - but it’s on us to follow through with practical assessments before taking a leap. There have been plenty of times where my intuition gave leads that didn't work out, and I wound up going down another route. At the end of the day, we are each responsible for our lives and reap the rewards of the work and gutsiness that we show. The idea is to blend intuition, logic and action as we take take the lead in our lives.

Archangel Sandalphon: Nature, Music and Prayers

My latest class at The College of Psychic Studies is proving to be more fun than I expected, which says a lot because I have always loved angel intuition. This term we are preparing to give readings from stage (I am slightly terrified about giving readings in the auditorium next month...). 

We also get to prepare lectures for class, and today it was my turn to introduce Archangel Sandalphon, the Angel of Nature, Music and Prayer. Like Metatron, Sandy is one of two angels who is said to have had a human existence. That incarnation is now so ancient that he's transcended the identity of "Elijah" and would rather we connect with his energy as it is now. 

Archangel Sandalphon is known as the Guardian of Earth. He is associated with the lowermost realm on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, which corresponds to the physical world and the form spirit takes whether its a tree or a human being. For the same reason is connected to Nature and we can work with Sandalphon to increase our awareness of spirit around us from a “oneness” point of view, but also the distinctive characteristics that can be found in particular herbs, plants, or people. We are carved from the same stone, but with unique functions.



Sandalphon also suggests that we use Nature as a gateway to connect with the Divine. We are that much closer to it. He can also help us embrace a grounded approach to spirituality so that we feel safe and loved in the world, we enjoy it while being aware of our spiritual nature and power. We can strengthen our connection to Nature and to Archangel Sandalphon through the Earth Star Chakra, located beneath our feet in the ground.

Sandy is said to be the prayer courier, taking our requests up to Heaven where they'll be taken care of. He can help us ground our energy and clear our mindfs so that we are able to hear the response, especially if the answer comes as intuitive guidance.  Read: 7 Ways to Make your Guardian Angel's Job Easier, via OM Times. The suggestions work with all angels =) 

The Angel of Music (and Nature)

Archangel Sandalphon is said to be the Patron of Music and initially, I was very curious about the connection between Music and Nature. A few months ago I attended a workshop on manifesting and creating with your Heart Chakra, and one piece of information made a huge impression. Musical notes are mathematically aligned with Nature through the ancestry of the male bee, and we can see it on a piano's white and black keys... 

This is how it works: a queen bee can give birth to a male bee all by herself, but to have a female baby bee, she needs a partner. As a result, male bees have only a mother whereas female bees have a mother and a father (weird, huh?) If we take a male bee and draw his family tree, the male to female ratio of the seventh generation mirrors the ratio of black (male) to white (female) keys on on a piano, considering one set of DO-RE-MI-FA-SO-LA-TI. Not only that, but the number of bees in each consecutive generation reflects the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical pattern that can be found over and over again in Nature (seashells, flowers, bees), referred to as God's Fingerprint. 

Finally, we also have seven Chakras, each resonating with a different note on the musical scale: DO for the Root Chakra, RE for the Sacral and so on. We can balance, heal and free our energy by listening to tunes that hit these notes. One of my blogger friends laughed when I mentioned this, because in theory, when we listen to classical music our chakras enjoy it more than we do LOL. I believe that art, music and emotions and are the language that the soul uses to talk to us, and we have the bees/maths to prove it too =) 

Bees and Musical Keys 🐝🐝🐝 

The real message was not about Fibonacci numbers or musical notes, but about the world's bee population, and Archangel Sandalphon was crystal clear on this point: bees are vital to our survival on this planet. They are responsible for cross pollinating most of the fruits and vegetables we eat. And yet, they are also dying off in alarming rates thanks to our negative influence on the planet. I find that the more we connect with Nature intuitively, the louder the message becomes whether it is saving the oceans or the bees and ultimately ourselves. 

Prayers and Special Requests

When I first connected with him, Archangel Sandalphon used the example of a waiter in a restaurant to explain his role. Sandy goes round each of the tables taking down orders and relaying them to the kitchen, though he can also give us a little guidance on what we might enjoy most. Let's say you want a new job and you're looking at the career section of the menu. We can ask him about a particular dish (an accounting job that we applied for) and Sandy can tell us "yes that's delicious" or maybe, he'll suggest that it's not worth the price - putting in weekends, added stress and possibly heart trouble. He can draw our attention to another option, which could be appetizing as well, though ultimately we rely on our intuition, our personal affinities and our cravings to choose it.

We will also have a better time it if we take the time to dialogue with our angels, instead of being distracted by modern life and the gadgets at our disposal. Let's switch off our phones and think about what we would like to order. There may be moments when we are sad or down and don't feel like eating, at these moments he suggests physical exercise to get our blood pumping again.

Another approach would be to specify what we crave emotionally, leaving it up to the cooks to send us the perfect dish. We can also personalize our requests but keep in mind that some dishes take longer to cook. If salmon isn't available, Sandalphon will be on hand to suggest alternatives. The more attention we pay to the waiter, the clearer our options and smoother the delivery.
