I haven't been blogging so much this year. There's a good reason for it too: I'm halfway through the 1st draft of my next book! Yay! Its coming along slowly, I started in December and writers block got in the way most of the winter. Or maybe I just needed a break. Since then I've been scrawling away (literally) and I've got about 50 thousand words down on the first draft. About 40% through my outline, though I'm sure I'll end up cutting a lot of it later.
What's it about? Well ...
I'm rewriting this blog as a memoir, from scratch. Not sure exactly where it starts. Maybe when I quit my job in Mexico in 2008 to go travelling and somehow found myself moving to London. That was when I discovered healing, astrology and eventually, psychic development. I'm thinking back to the early days: what it was like to get the first impressions, to wonder if I was imagining things or if I was really getting signs. Its been 4-5 years and so much has happened. So many interesting people along the way.
Fingers crossed I will be done with this first draft in the next month or two and then I can put it down for a while. I have been wanting to write a fiction story with a supernatural slant, and that interlude could be a good time to do it. I'm still thinking about the Flower Fairy I dreamt up last year (see here).
Here's my 1st draft: handwritten to get past the writer's block =)
This is our third and final instalment on the Archangels, you will find the 1st post HERE. Just to recap, the archangels are higher up in the angel hierarchy. They help with different spheres of life whether its communication, healing or understanding our life purpose. Today we are going to talk about Archangel Metatron, Chamuel and Azrael.
The Angel of Love: Chamuel
We can call on Chamuel to dial up our experience of love, especially our ability to give, receive and feel love. He can also help us feel unconditional love and compassion. From this point of view, love can be romantic, platonic or familial. To connect with Archangel Chamuel sit quietly and feel his presence.
The Angel of Grief: Azrael
Azrael’s main purpose is to comfort souls when they pass away and to help the families who are left behind. He facilitates the grieving process. Azrael is one of the angels who steps in even if we don't ask for his help. If you are having difficulty getting over a loss, you can call on Archangels Raphael and Azrael for healing. Of course in these situations it will also be useful to see a counselor or a healer for specific help.
Past Lives & Integration: Metatron
Metatron is one of two Archangels who is said to have lived as a human before ascending to heaven. He was a scribe in ancient times and in the spirit world he is also in charge of record keeping. Archangel Metatron looks after the Akashic Records, where we can find information on our past lives, including skills and abilities to tap into. We can work with Metatron and with Archangel Raphael, the Healing Angel, to let go of past or present life experiences that could be tripping us up now. If you're interested in exploring your past lives, look up Denise Linn's book, Past Lives, Present Miracles. She includes lots of wonderful tips for exploring and healing past lives. Fab book!
Metatron is also associated with Sacred Geometry and with The Chariot in Tarot. These two are closely linked. The card depicts a Chariot being pulled by two horses, one black and the other white. The horses want to go in different directions and its up to the driver to reign them in and keep their momentum under control. I like to think of the Chariot as a Marathon Runner who needs to bring both mental and physical stamina to a race. The card is about pulling ourselves together and making a big push before we get to the finish line. Also about bringing polarities together so that we can harness their potential. With Archangel Metatron’s help, we can leverage sacred geometry to accomplish this. I’ll go into sacred geometry another day, probably need to research it some more! So far my experiences with it have been limited.
Note: Archangel Metatron is usually linked to Ascension, not integration. Maybe it's just semantics, but I associate Ascension with escapism. I prefer to think of integrating, grounding and self-healing for a happier and well adjusted existence on Earth.

Today we are going to talk some more about the Archangels! Just to recap, the Archangels are higher up on the angelic hierarchy. They each intervene in different spheres of life, whether it's communication, motherhood, ecology, healing or helping us find our life purpose.
There are at least 7 to 12 archangels depending on who we ask, but likely many more than that. I tend to connect with six or seven of them regularly in meditations. Last week we discussed the main four: Archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - known as the Protector, the Healer, the Messenger and Spiritual Guide (Part 1).
Today we are moving on to the next group - the archangels of magic, mystery and beauty in life!
Archangel Haniel - The Feminine Healer. Haniel has lovely, soft energy. She’s also a healer, like Archangel Raphael and we can call on both of them to balance our masculine and feminine sides. Haniel’s energy is very gentle, like moonlight. We can ask her for help understanding our emotions, developing our intuition and working with lunar cycles in. I tend to feel her energy as silver with a little bit of pink. She’s a Star.
Archangel Jophiel - The Angel of Beauty. Jophiel can help us bring more beauty into our life, especially into our thoughts, speech and feelings. He can teach us to recognize beauty inside and out. I like to call Jophiel he teaches us to appreciate imperfect beauty, as well as beauty that is not so obvious in today’s “media driven” world. I first sensed Jophiel’s energy during one of my Reiki Attunements. One of the Tibetan Master symbols has a strong artistic feel to it and I sensed Jophiel’s presence at that point. He is an Artist.
Archangel Raziel - The Keeper of Secrets. He’s the angel for mystics, manifestations, and secrets revealed. Raziel is said to be the “guardian” of the Tree of Life. Raziel can teach us about the laws of cause and effect, and manifestation. But he lets the secrets out of the bag only when we’re ready for them. And when our heart and our intentions are pure so that we only use his knowlegde for the highest good.
The idea is to get to know the Archangel individually so that we can reach out to them when we need their help. I find that they work as a team, but it can be very supportive and comforting to sense their individual energies. You will also get an idea of where you’re stuck, by who shows up when you ask for help. If you would like to connect with them personally, the meditation below introduces Archangel Haniel 💖
Take turns reaching out to your guardian angel and to the archangels. Once you become familiar with their energy, you’ll notice them when you’re out and about. They love popping around to say hello!
This is a follow up from last week’s radio show where we learned how to open up and sense our angels. I like to connect with the Archangels as well as with my Guardian Angel. Think of the Archangels as beings with extra oomph!
There are at least seven Archangels, each with it’s own specialty, whether it’s grief counselling, healing, children, the animal and plant kingdoms or life purpose. We can ask them for help when we’re stuck in a particular area of our life. There are at least 7 Archangels: today we'll cover the first four on the list:
Archangel Michael - The Soldier: may be the most popular archangel these days. He’s the patron saint of armies, soldiers, police and servicemen and women. We can call on him for courage, protection or an extra oomph. You can also ask him to clear and protect your energy. I’ve asked for his help at work, when our team was at an impasse. And would you believe it? The ball started rolling that very same day! He is great with conflict resolution too. Michael is often seen as navy blue in color.
Archangel Gabriel - The Messenger: He is known for stimulating communication, creative expression and fertility. I'm not particularly religious but I have heard the Bible story where an angel appeared and told Mary and Joseph that they'd have a special baby. Also, some people see Gabriel as more of a female energy (though angels aren't really male or female, strictly speaking. Gabriel is related to both the Throat and Sacral chakras because of their creative and vocal applications.
Archangel Raphael – The Healer: Ask for his help with healing on any level. He can also intervene on your behalf with your medical doctors, to help them be at their sharpest and most intuitive. If you ask! Raphael has strong male energy. During healing sessions, I tend to call on both Archangel Raphael and Archangel Hanael. Both healers. Hanael’s energy is very feminine, and working with both angels can help us balance our masculine and feminine sides. We’ll talk about her next week! She is connected to healing, intuition and moon energy.
Archangel Uriel - The GPS Angel: Uriel guides us towards our life purpose. He is responsible for lucky coincidences. His energy is faint, hard to discern. It might help to ask him for a visual cue. Take that as a sign that he’s around. In psychic school we asked for Gold Ringlets. =)
So those are the main archangels! Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel. We can connect with them directly in guided meditations, such as the ones on my YouTube Channel. Here is one with Archangel Rafael:
It helps if we take turns reaching out to our guardian angel and to the archangels. Once you become familiar with their energy, you will notice them when you are out and about. They love popping around to say hello =)
You'll find meditations with each of them on Youtube HERE.
