4 Seasons Healing Meditations with the Archanels by The BArefoot Angel Man

4 Seasons Healing Meditations

Working in Partnership with the Archangels of the Celestial Healing Bagua and Trigram.

Introduction to Meditation.

1) Invite your angel into your mind – spirit – heart.

2) Ask your angel for a message.

After this, you should now light a candle symbolising your uniqueness as a Child of the universe implanted with an angelic nature and a divine spirit of love.

Sit quietly and reflect. Just be yourself and remain silent.
Remember, Silence is the Sister of the Divine!
The Soul Star Mantra
This is activated by a mantra that invokes the power of the Soul itself.

The Soul Star Mantra:
I AM THE SOUL
I AM THE LIGHT DIVINE
I AM LOVE
I AM WILL
I AM FIXED DESIGN

This is a Mantra – not an affirmation.

Each time you recite, you are permanently raising your vibrations to a higher frequency.
As you recite the Mantra, you can enhance the development of the Rainbow Bridge (autahkavava) is a continuation of light and energy that runs along your spinal column into the Earth and corrects you with the planetary energies. It also goes upwards, through your Soul Star, and connects you with brighter – for greater transformation.

FOUR SEASONS MEDITATIVE REFLECTION .
I approach this series of meditative relaxation exercises incorporating the Four Seasons; the five senses; The Four Key elements (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) found in the Angel Bagua, Sacred Placement’s Square and Angelic Healing Trigram .

I dedicate our production, to Metatron and the Four Angel Princes of the Universe. They are: Michael of the North, Gabriel of the South, Uriel of the East and Raphael of the West.

I hope that you will enjoy reading our exercises to spiritual - relaxation with a unique style of combining the elements with seasonal changes affecting our higher self as we travel along the road of our personal faith journey in the presence of our angels.

I would like to take you on a sacred journey of self-discovery and a realization that you are special – loved unconditionally – honoured by the creator - endowed with unique gifts – respected for who you are and not what you have achieved or done with your life. Accepted totally as a cocreator of the Divine – a child of the universe and singled out for your life’s Advent. It begins here and now….

But first, we reflect – take stock – evaluate past and present events, situations and scenarios that may have crippled your spirit and prevent your personal angel facilitating your Advent for tomorrow’s gifting.

We begin by centering our thoughts on our spiritual garden and its surrounding landscape. Gardening is my tool of connectedness to the Divine and our Angels. In the garden I am alone with mother nature.
I am surrounded by many unseen, silent helpers from the 4th. Sphere of angelic servers; known to angelologists as the Angels of the Nature Wave.

From a purely personal perspective, a beautiful garden doesn’t just appear! It is the result of many long hours – weeks – months of sheer hard work. Gardening is a total commitment involving our blood sweat and often tears before the results are seen. When we commit our selves to working in the garden we embrace Mother Nature and the elements. They are our soul mates – they provide the hidden blessings that enrich our souls with delights from her bountiful treasure chest of surprises. But, she ask of us that we be attentive to the earth and respect her at every level.

Each season demands a specific attention to detail. As a gardener I know from painful and personal experience that crops don’t just appear. Before seeds, or seedlings can be sown the soil must be cultivated and in balance with nature. When the young seedlings first appear they need the beneficial properties of the elements for their survival and our sustenance.

We begin our series by applying the same principles of gardening to that of our Spiritual, Sacred Garden our soul. We know that man is made up of three elements: Mind, Body and Spirit. Now lets look at the spirit’s 4 seasons and how we can best use them to help us get attuned with the angelic realm in our Angel Sacred Peace Garden or space. As a committed sacred garden designer I cannot single out any one season at the expense of the rest. Each season compliments the other. The Higher self is akin to the seasons, you cannot separate the spirit from the body or the mind. All three key elements are closely entwined and hallmarked by the creator.

Winter Meditation: No: 1

We now look at our first season for relaxation. It is the season of Winter. The very word WINTER conjures up a bag of mixed feelings associated with cold, snow, ice and dark days and long dreary nights. One can be affected by SAD (Seasonal Associated Disorder)

For the purpose of this meditation and relaxation we consider the following:

The Archangel associated with winter is Michael(Angel Prince of the North)
The key element will be water.
The insence for burning will be Frankincense.
The colour for visualization is Blue.
Crystals: Sapphire, blue topaz.

Theme: Stillness

Having entered our personal sacred space, we start our relaxation exercise by standing still for a moment and centre our thoughts on who we are/ where we are / what we are/ and why we have come here………..Be aware that you are in the presence of the Divine Creator and are surrounded by a myriad of angels under the leadership of your personal Archangel Michael. Ask Michael to assist you now and help you benefit from the experience by inviting him – invoking him – embracing him.

1. Sit comfortably with your spine erect; feet apart and hands resting comfortably on your thighs.
2. Gently rotate your head anticlockwise x 5 and again clockwise x 5 times.
3. Allow the tensed, tired muscles in your head and neck to unlock. Visualize them being unlocked and healed.
4. Concentrate on your breathing now.
5. Be aware of the rhythm of your in and out breaths. Relax. Breath in and hold you’re in breath to the count of 5/ and breath out releasing all of the impurities inside your mind, body and spirit.. As you breath in visualize light energy (angel’s energy being infused into your lungs via your air passages. Repeat this exercise for 5-10 minutes and just be aware that you are slowly being re-energised with the love and energy of the angels.
6. Visualise Michael beside you assisting you at every level of your breathing. Visualize being wrapped in a spectrum of blue light radiating in and through your entire body.
7. As you continue to breath normally, relax. Relax. Now, I want you to visualize the season of winter and you are sat by your patio window staring onto a snow capped garden landscape. The sun is shining, birds are silent as they feed off the bird trays. The water feature on your pond is almost frozen but the rays of the sun has allowed a gentle trickle of water to cascade down the statue into the frozen, snow-capped pond. You can see that the shrubs and tress although bare of their leaves and flowers are a dazzling pure white. The snowflakes are still gently falling creating tufts of what appears like wads of cotton wool balls everywhere. The sun is really bright for this time of day. Its 3pm in the afternoon.
8. Suddenly, you see your guardian angels playing in the snow with Michael supervising them. There is a gentle calling of your name from the garden..It is Michael and he is inviting you with open arms to come and join in the merriment and frivolity of the angels.
9. Everyone seems happy and content and enjoying the snow ball games. You are holding back because you seem afraid of something.. Michael asks you what it is and you want to share but feel afraid. Michael takes you to the bench beside the pond and makes a space for you to sit and quietly relax with him.
10. Suddenly, the angels gather around you to offer you their protection, warmth and love. You feel safe. You are now safe and can share. Relax.
11. Continue to breath in the energy of the angels. Sense the crispness of the air and the gentle warmth of the suns rays on your forehead and face. Be aware of your senses that link you with creation and the elements around you right now.
12. Michael instructs you to collect snowflakes and make a firm ball. You are now holding the crisp snow with both hands and feel the softness of the snow in your hands. You reflect now on all that has upset you; injured you; hurt you in anyway and as you tighten your grip on the snow you firmly make a snowball. Michael instructs you to place all that troubles you into the centre of the ball and stand erect with your head held high and shoulders back….. as you prepare to through the snowball into the universe above your head you are made aware that the snowball represents your negativity and pain. Visualize this and relax. Breathe in the energy of Michael Angel prince of the North and begin to release the snowball ….Aim - Fire the snowball up and away into the universe beyond. On reaching angel space, it is dissolved and you are released.
13. Suddenly, you feel a great weight has been lifted and you fall down with your angels supporting you; cradling you loving you. Their tears have melted the snow all around you and you are now at peace. Your frozen hands and face are made warn by the breath of the angel’s breath.
14. Relax….. Breath in ….Hold it….and out. Relax.
15. After the count of 5 be aware of your surroundings and know you are safe. At the count of 3 open your eyes and be still.
16. You are now free of all that has troubled you, hindered you disempowered you… Michael is close beside you.

Reflection Reading: Inner stillness(The Universal Christ by Bede Griffiths OSB.
Inner stillness is necessary if we are to be in perfect control of our faculties and if we are to hear the voice of the living spirit speaking to us through our personal angel.
There can be no stillness without discipline, and the discipline of external silence can help us towards that inner tranquillity which is at the heart of authentic religious experience. In meditation we take steps to achieve this stillness. We quieten our bodies and our emotions, then gradually allow the mind to become single-pointed. Stillness within one individual can affect society beyond measure.

Prayer: I call on my angels and invite, invoke and request the powerful assistance of Michael Archangel prince of the North. Michael whose name means “ who is like God” I call upon you now to protect me from the unseen forces that have and will continue to separate me from the Divine Universal Light and Life force energies emanating from the Creator through His angelic servers. I thank you for hearing my prayer and for being with me now. Thank you Archangel Michael.
MEDITATION EXERCISE NO: 2 SPRING.
Our second meditative reflection is based on the Season of Spring. Having been dormant during the winter months we very often need a boost to give our spirit that kick start to get us motivated. For me, there is no greater season, apart from autumn than that of springtime. There is an assault course upon our senses in every sense of the word. We respond joyfully and graciously towards life at this favourable time of the year.

Now let us set the scene for our second meditation. For the sole purpose of this relaxation exercise we consider the following pointers:

1. The Archangel associated with the Season of Spring is Uriel, the Archangel prince of the East.
2. The key element will be: The Fire element.
3. The fragrance / incense / oils to burn are: Hyacinth, Violet, Rose geranium.
4. The primary colour is Orange / yellow.
5. The crystals for your prayer corner are: Amethhyst, Azurite.
6. The Theme for reflection is: The awareness of life.

There is a real joy for all gardeners during springtime. The garden that was dormant from late October suddenly changes and everywhere new life is springing forth. Nature is alive and kicking. The animal kingdom too rejoices at the dawn of spring. The elements beckon mankind to rejoice at the opportunity to share in the mystery of new life. Suddenly the veil that dulled our five senses throughout the winter months has been removed; now we can see the hand of the Creator at work again in our sacred angel peace garden of tranquillity.

Our higher self too is comparable to the garden landscape. The period of dormancy and enforced isolation has suddenly been overcome by a sense of rebirthing of Karma, Chi energy within our spirit and we respond lovingly, joyously and graciously to the Divine presence in and around us.

We begin now by quietly taking hold of our thoughts and emotions and experience the tranquillity around our sacred space.

We find a suitable place in our sacred space where we can be alone and one with nature and the Divine.

We now invite our Angel prince of the East who is the Archangel Uriel known as the fire of God, invoking and requesting his help to support us in this time spent alone with the Creator and our personal angel.

Having prepared our small alter we light a candle to represent the presence of the divine and the Archangel Uriel beside us.

We sit comfortably and ensure that we are relaxed, with our back straight, feet slightly apart and both hands resting on our knees with palms facing upwards in readiness to welcome our angel.

Firstly, let us concentrate on our breathing. We begin by taking gentle breaths that are effortless. We concentrate on the rhythm of our in and out breaths. To reach a relaxed state it is a wise move to hold you’re in breath for several seconds and gently release your breath, known as you’re out breath. Once you have exhaled, count to4 then repeat the cycle of breathing in and holding your breath before letting it out.
Visualize the Archangel Uriel standing next to you assisting you to breath in his energy and love. When you let go of the stale air from your breathing visualize that it is negative destructive energy that has kept you in a dormant, sleepy state.
Now relax and again breathe normally and effortlessly in the knowledge that Uriel is beside you supporting you at every level of this relaxation.
Experience all the tension in your feet and ankles, lower legs, knees, thighs, pelvic region, lower abdomen, chest wall, lumbar spine, upper chest, hands, wrists, lower and upper arms, shoulders neck and head receiving an injection of renewed energy from the attentive administrations of your personal archangel Uriel. He is there holding you in his arms and visualize this as he invites you to go with him up into the mountains. Yes, your spirit has flown with Uriel. You are now in the arms of your personal angel. You have been taken to a restful place situated on the edge of a mountain peak in the Wicklow hills. There is nobody there only the two of you. Your breathing is relaxed and all the tension and stress has gone from every limb.
Uriel has set a special area aside for the two of you to relax and be one with nature; one with creation; one with the Creator; one with your self and your shamen; angel; soul mate. Uriel has singled you out to enjoy friendship and companionship at a deep, meaningful, spiritual level.You now feel loved and special. Archangel Uriel knows that deep within your soul you are fearful, lacking in confidence and afraid of heights.

Now visualize that you are now not alone but in the company of a dear friend who has asked you to come and see the beautiful gifts handed to you as a free gift of sonship. Uriel takes you gently by the hand and sits on the rock face y the sloap of the mountain to survey the valleys, rivers, lakes below. The time of day is 12 noon. The sun is strong but the gentle breeze is healing and nurturing your spirit. Relax and be still. Know that you are loved.

Breathe slowly and remember that as you breath out you let go of all that negative energy that has crippled your spirit. As you now breathe in you are taking in angel light and love energy sustaining your higher self. You are now beginning to sense the change-taking place throughout your whole mind, body and spirit.

As you are sat on the rock with Uriel, your personal Archangel and friend you can hear sounds coming from far in the distance. Springtime is evident to your senses as you can see the daffodils and wild hyacinths springing up in the meadow below. You can hear the sounds of young newly born lambs looking for their mum for their next milk feed. You can see them excitedly running to and fro with other newly born baby lambs. The atmosphere is peaceful with the sounds of wildlife rustling around you. Relax. Be still and enjoy the rebirthing of your once tired rejected, spirit. Continue to breath normally now, concentrating only on the present moment. You are free……you are safe……you are loved………..

You are feeling excited and overjoyed at having witnessed so many beautiful scenes. Your senses are saturated to the full and you now need to relax awhile. Your spirit is full of inner peace. Your soul has indeed been reawakened with a new sense of meaningfulness and a renewed purpose to let go and be yourself. Relax………… Continue to breath in the angels light, love and energy. Relax. You are now safe and dearly loved. Uriel is beside you along with your guardian angel and a host of unseen silent angels who are administering to you daily.

As you quietly relax on the mountain slopes, the angels of the nature realm and animal kingdom continues to oversee the Creator’s presence in all of the universe – your universe. You are indeed a son of this universe.

You are beginning to feel a chill from the easterly wind. Your friend Archangel Uriel assists you to light a small camp fire that will provide you with some warmth in readiness for your return flight home later on in the early evening. You are safe now and your spirit is aglow with the protection and love from Uriel’s presence.

As evening falls, the sunset to the west is stunning. You can hear the songs from the blackbird bringing the curtain down on another day and praising the Creator for life. The elements support you in the arms of your friend Uriel who now takes you back to your sacred space where you belong.

You feel invigorated, renewed and happy. You are at peace now and sense an inner joy and peace that only the Creator can give you.
Nightfall has arrived. Uriel asks your permission to take his leave and return along with the other angels to attend another important mission. Your angel embraces the spirit within you and confirms that all is well. Your breathing is relaxed; your weariness has gone; your spirit has been energised with a springtime rebirthing of angelic and divine love. You are now safe; loved and whole. You are smiling inwardly and rejoicing.
You thank your Archangel Uriel prince of the East and remain still . Continue to breath normally and relax………………

At the count of 5 open your eyes and be still. Be aware that the lighted candle is affirmation that the Divine is and will remain with you always.

Reading: “ The Awakening of life.”(The reasons of the heart by John S. Dunne)

When hope does awaken, an entire life awakens along with it. One comes fully to life. It begins to seem indeed that one has never lived before. One awakens to a life that is eternal in prospect, a life that opens up before one all the way to death and beyond, a life that seems able to endure death and survive it. Wherever hope rises, life rises. When one first enters the spiritual adventure, hope rises where there was no hope before, where there was a life of ‘ quiet desperation’, and life rises too, the life of the spiritual adventure, the sense of being on a journey in time. There is something to live for where before there was nothing. Yet, it proves not to be enough. One’s heart is kindled, and yet there is residue of darkness in it that remains unkindled. That dark residue is touched only when one discovers a new and unknown life in another person. Where one finds the other, a new hope rises and one seems now to have someone to live for, but that hope is disappointed. The dark residue in one’s heart has been heated but not to the kindling point, the ‘fire-point’ after which it will burn by itself. It reaches the kindling point only ‘when we dead awaken’, when one discovers a life that is able to live through death and loss. When the hope of living through death arises, then a life arises within one that appears to be the very life one is hoping for, the life that is spoken of in the words of promise ‘ and whoever lives and
believes in me shall never die.’

Prayer: Archangel Uriel thank you for your presence in my faith journey and for walking with me during this meditation. Bless my life now and never let me become estranged from the Divine creator and his angelic messengers who are now true friends.

The Third Reflection / meditation Season “SUMMER”.

When we hear the name summer we turn to sunshine, holidays, respite from work, spiritual retreats; even relaxed hobbies alone or with friends. For most of us, the summer season is now affected by global warming and we often find a mixed bag of all four seasons thrown into one. For the gardener it is not always as relaxing as one would imagine. The time spent planting bulbs, seed, young summer plants in the late spring have now taken root and demand considerable attention, namely watering every day, often 2/3 times depending on the warmth of the sun’s rays.

Summertime is a healing season in many ways. For those of us affected by arthritis, skin disorders etc, our body’s benefit from the warmth of the sun. Anybody affected by depression like myself et a real injection of serotonin from the sunny days.etc. Too much sun can have disastrous effects upon plants as well our skin. Summertime is a healing season.

For the purpose of this relaxation and meditation we consider the following:
1. The Archangel associated with the season of Summer is Gabriel, known as the Angel Prince of the South.
2. The key element is Earth.
3. The fragrances/incense/ oils are: Myrrh, Cedar wood, Patchouli, Jasmine.
4. Crystals: Hematite, Tiger’s eye, Bloodstone.
5. The key primary colour for visualization is Green / Crimson.
6. The theme of this season is: Universal Love.

There have indeed been occasions when having worked as a nurse on night duty I was ready for my 2 weeks summer vacation. The ordeal at airports, rushing for this and that and the first day back at work gave the impression that one never really had a holiday.

The season of summer is a time for reaching out to all three key components that make us who we are before the Creator. Because we are Mind / Body / Spirit we need to take time out and rest. Taking a retreat literally means re-treating from the maddening crowds and spending time alone with our Higher self – with our Creator – with our Angel or Shaman.

This exercise is suitable for those who are unable to sit, stand still because of a disability. So we will do this exercise lying horizontal.

Firstly, we create the setting by ensuring that we have opened a window for ventilation. One can play quiet relaxing music in the background. Burning incense or oils will help create the scene and invite our Archangel and angel helpers to assist us mentally, physically and spiritually to relax and unwind from the pressures that have overwhelmed you.

Whilst walking around your sacred garden, you are aware that you are feeling tensed; uneasy and stressed. You desperately need time away from your mobile phone which occupies every waking moment of your busy life. Your garden satisfies your immediate needs but not your long-term needs . You are now searching desperately for an escape route. Whilst sat in your garden you become aware of a presence stalking your every move. Then you realize that you have an unexpected visitor who has seen your distress and introduces himself to you as the Archangel Gabriel. You suddenly realize that what you are now seeing is not a mirage or a dream but a real person who is genuinely interested in you as a person and not because of a business deals that he needs from you.

Gabriel sits besides you and asks you simply what your needs are right now. Gabriel invites you to seek his help. You are overwhelmed with a sense of why me………..Gabriel assures you that you are precious and loved by the Creator of all the living. You are embarrassed to ask help but decide to take the bull by the horns and swallow one’s pride. Gabriel reaches out towards you and embraces you in love. You ask that if only you could find inner peace and a childlike trust again. Your angel prince of the South turns to you and smiles. You feel safe. The angel’s smile and the beam of radiant light from his eyes empowers you to trust in your angel and relax.

It is agreed that you will permit yourself to take time out alone.
As you are now alone, free from distractions, telephone, children, friends you can now begin your escape to a lost paradise miles from home. The scene is a faraway secret island in the sun.

Gabriel escorts you there on his wings. You are firmly secured in his gentle embrace as you fly across vast continents and oceans. The winds are your turbo engines taking you safely to your hidden retreat where no mobiles can be used.

We begin by concentrating on our breathing. Lets start by taking several deep breaths. Sense the rhythm of your breathing. Be aware of how you breathe in and breath out. Try relaxing now and start the process of winding down from a stressful occupation or home life. Enjoy the surroundings. Allow your five senses to run riot and marry them to the elements around you.

You are alone, lying on a comfortable sun-lounger with your body completely at ease. You are situated under a palm tree and out of the direct sun. You are sheltered, you feel safe; you are relaxing into the rhythm of your surroundings and you’re breathing. Your are beginning to unwind and relax.

Visualize where you are now. Yes, you are lying comfortably under an old palm tree that is shading you from the direct sun. The gentle breeze through the palms has a cooling effect on your limbs and on your face. You feel relaxed and now beginning to enjoy time spent alone away from the noise of city life .
Your senses are satisfied with this enforced retreat. The smell of coconut and sea spray in the gentle breeze has a soothing effect. In the near distance you can hear a rustling - it is caused by the air rushing in and around the palm groves and tall grasses. Sense the warmth of the sun on your weary torso……let it penetrate through your body and every fibre of your being. Feel relaxed now and know that all is OK.

Sense the gentle breeze and the warmth of the sun’s rays on your feet and lower limbs. Your weary and sore feet now benefit from the gentle heat. Sense this warmth slowly circulating in and around not only your toes, ankles, legs, knees and thighs but entering your spine affording you real respite from pressures. Continue to breath normally and be aware of the rhythm of your in and out breaths. Relax………………….

As you lay there relaxed you are invited by Gabriel to turn over and rest on your tummy. The other angel helpers help you relax further by massaging your neck, shoulders, arms, upper and lower back; upper and lower thighs, legs ankles and feet. The aroma of myrrh that has been massaged all over your aching body has enabled you to sleep and rest in the gentle arms of your angels. Gabriel sees to it that you rest and recoup all of your lost strength.

You awake to find Gabriel standing next to you with a glass of tropical fruits squeezed into a tall glass. Your taste buds are invigorated with the flavours and textures in this drink. Minutes later you decide that you feel well rested and invite Gabriel and the angels to take a swim in the nearby crystal waters of the lagoon. You feel relaxed and safe now.

The waters have replenished lost energy and enabled you to look at being assertive with your time. Gabriel assures you that time is a precious commodity and necessary for your survival just like oxygen is for the brain cells and the entire body.

It is time now to return home on Gabriel’s wings. You are now feeling energised, refreshed and spiritually renewed. Breathe normally and sense the peace of where you are. Be still and relax……………

At the count of 6 open your eyes and sense your bearings. Feel safe. You are now safe in the knowledge that you will now be OK and ready to lead a normal life. You thank your personal angel Gabriel who blesses you and promises to return again when required.

Reading: Universal Love…(A Serious Call to a devout and holy life by William Law.

Our power of doing external acts of love and goodness is often very narrow and restrained. There are, it may be, but a few people to whom we can contribute any worldly relief.

But though our outward means of doing good are often thus limited, yet if our hearts are but full of love and goodness we get, as it were, an infinite power because God will attribute to us those good works, those acts of love and tender charities, which we sincerely desired and would gladly have performed had it been in our power.

You cannot heal all the sick, relieve all the poor; you cannot comfort all in distress nor be a father to all the fatherless.

You cannot, it may be, deliver many from their misfortunes or teach them to find comfort in God.

But if there is a love and tenderness in your heart that delights in these good works and excites you to do all that you can, if your love has no bounds but continually wishes and prays for the relief and happiness of all that are in distress, you will be received by God as a benefactor to those who have had nothing from you but your good will and tender affections.

The Fourth Relaxation and Meditative Exercise is for the season of AUTUMN.
We begin now by looking at how we respond emotionally when we enter the season of Autumn. Next to Spring this has got to be another of my favourite seasons. The dramatic changes in foliage leaves me breathless. The spectrum of colour across the globe varies distinctively at this time of year.

In America one celebrates Autumn with the holiday Thanksgiving. Here in the UK we celebrate Harvest festival, thanking God the Great Provider for providing the elements and sufficient crops to sustain us for another year.

At home here in the UK we are reminded of Armistice Sunday. A poignant day where we remember those who gave their lives freely so we can live in peace. Autumn is a season of preparedness for the Winter months that lie ahead.

On a personal note, autumn is my Spiritual Advent; a period of reflection on what needs pruning so that my liberation can proceed seasonally from one year to the next. As a gardener, autumn is a necessary season for getting one’s garden ready for winter. Pruning, burning rubbish, staking plants, bushes and the relocation of frost tender plants to a place of safety from the harsh elements are all part of our preparation for winter. The spirit too needs a period of pruning / staking / reaffirming / relocation / renewal / protection from harm / removing old ways are all part of the Spiritual Advent that is so necessary for our Higher Self to survive.

For the sole purpose of this meditation and relaxation we now consider the following:

1. The Archangel associated with the season of autumn is Raphael, the Angel Prince of the West.
2. The key element will be Air.
3. The fragrance/incense/oils to be used are: Rose, Bergamot, Melissa.
4. The primary colour for visualization is: Red, sage green and soft pink.
5. The crystals to be used are: Watermelon tourmaline, Rose quartz, Emerald.
6. The theme of this exercise is: Confidence in the Creator Spirit/God.

We begin by just standing still for a few moments. Stretch both arms away from you and pull them in towards you just like as if you were rowing a boat. Gently move your head to the right and left. Repeat several times. Lift your shoulders up and down slowly several times.

Gently repeat the above.

We are now feeling the benefits from this gentle workout. I want you to now fully concentrate on your breathing. Observe how you breathe in and out. Remember to take nice deep breaths. As you breathe in hold your breath and count to 4; then breathe out very slowly. Hold it. Repeat exercise times 12. Visualize now if you will that when you breathe in you are breathing in the universal life force energy of the universe. When you breathe out you are ridding your Mind, your Body, Your Spirit of all negative, destructive feelings and emotions.

Sense your personal angel Raphael, known as Angel who heals the Earth and its inhabitants. Invite him, invoke him into your sacred space and be guided by Raphael’s powerful intercessory powers.

Firstly sit yourself in a comfortable chair with your back straight, head up and feet apart with both hands resting on your knees. Welcome Raphael to come and join you now and be present during this time of discernment and healing. Visualize your celestial friend Raphael sat next to you holding both your hands in his. Sense the power and warmth of his firm yet gentle grip on your hands. Continue to relax and breathe normally. Be aware of your surroundings. Relax………..

I want you now to feel the light and love energy permeate / saturate your entire body beginning with your head, neck, face, shoulders, hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. Be aware that you are in the presence of your Angel Prince of the West The angel Raphael. Continue to breath normally and sense the healing energy like electrical currants radiating down your body from your upper back, chest, lower abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower thighs right down into your knees, lower legs, ankles feet and all ten toes. Be aware of a radiant glow of universal life force energy encapsulating your very being.

You are feeling relaxed. You are relaxed now and your breathing is gentle and steady as it should be. Be aware of where you are and who is there with you right now. Raphael is now standing behind you with his wings outstretched and now visualize both wings closing in and around you offering you protection, safety, and warmth from the autumnal air.

You feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you are indeed loved and special.

As you continue to relax and take long deep breaths, I want you now to permit Raphael to escort you to the local bonfire at the end of the forest.

You would never have walked alone late at night through the woods. But now with Raphael holding you by the hand and the encircling wingspan of his massive wings you can do almost anything now. You are not afraid of the enemy who has threatened you since childhood.

As you enter the entrance to the woods you are aware of certain sounds that is echoing through the woodland. The cuckoo is letting the animal kingdom know of visitors. You are that visitor. Part of you senses danger ahead… Raphael reassures you that no harm will come to you. He asks that you continue to breath normally and relax. The stillness within the woods is daunting. Suddenly you are aware that there is a large obstacle before you. At first you visualize it is a monster and are scared. Raphael senses this and assures you that it is OK. Your breathing is normal now and you feel safe in the arms of Raphael protection. Immediately before you there is a huge bonfire ablaze. The air is creating a smoked filled atmosphere and the winds have now created a ferocious fire burning brightly, lightening up the midnight sky.

As you approach nearer to the bonfire there you can see many angels talking and sharing news. Their relaxed smiling faces empowers you to take the next step forward and place the small bundle of rubbish onto the bonfire.

Visualize now that previously you have been intimidated by someone, or something in your life. This presence has stalked you from childhood, impeding your personal and spiritual development denying you many opportunities benefiting your MIND BODY SPIRIT -progress; emotional contentment; personal fulfilment; a possible healing; a release from a dangerous person or chain of events; possibly a form of abuse or maybe religious fear, bigotry or a deep hidden secret that has left you in fear of God / your angels / your self!

Now, its time to let your personal angel Raphael assist you in being set free for once and for all time. Raphael being aware of your years of oppression and guilt invites you to your own release party. Raphael reminds you that for every object thrown onto the bonfire represent a personal injury sustained by you and suffered in silence for many years.

Visualize now that you have picked up a small wooden object, which now represents your greatest fears, and that you are now being escorted by Raphael and his angelic helpers from the Air Realm to the fires. You are apprehensive but not afraid. Relax and continue to breath normally despite the smoke filled atmosphere. Raphael takes your hands and with his two hands assists you in throwing the objects onto the flames. You are witnessing personal fears, deep hurts, pains and memories that have almost destroyed your peace now burning your demons. Sense the freedom. Sense the calmness and stillness as you stand there watching all that has robbed your inner peace, Karma. Raphael instructs you to Be free….. You are now free. Relax and know that you are truly free.

At the end of this initiation ceremony, Raphael takes you back to your sacred space and hugs you. You thank him for your release and new life.

You can see your angel Raphael disappears into the autumnal skies. You sense a great abiding inner peace . Relax and be still.

At the count of 8 be aware of your surroundings in your sacred space.

After 3 open your eyes and breath normally. Relax.

Reading: Confidence in God.(Living Love and Our Father by Ruth Burrows).

When we pray ‘ thy kingdom come’ we are inviting God to come and do in us all he wants to do. We are affirming that we want him to be our God and Father, to love us into fullness of life. We are praying that his great plan of love for his creation be accomplished. Nothing else can satisfy the human hearts he has made for himself……

We are utterly confident that the Father wants to give us his kingdom and he will leave no stone unturned to do so. There is therefore no need for strain or anxiety. There is no mysterious art to be mastered, it is all there before us at each moment. What God asks of us we can always accomplish. There is nothing to be afraid of. It is not a chancy thing that might not come off.

Be happy to feel that you cannot control your life, that there is so much in you that you seem unable to cope with. Trust yourself to him, take each moment as it comes, for each moment holds him. Let him have the say, let him take charge, even though you are feeling no one is in charge.

Dispossession of self is the reverse side of God-possession.

I hope that you have benefited from reflecting on the four meditations and relaxation exercises. I pray that as you enter Nature’s sanctuary, your faith journey will be enriched by the Seasons; the elements and the guiding hand from our 4 Angel Princes of North, South, East and West.

Angels are the guardians of Hope & Wonder;
The keepers of magic and dreams.
Angels watch over you wherever you go,
Keeping each day perfect and
promising a bright new tomorrow.
The motto of all angels is “it’s a wonderful life.”

Wherever there is love; an angel is flying by.
Angels help you carry the ball, carry a tune,
Carry your weight and carry on.
Your guardian angel knows you inside out and
Leaves you just the way you are.
Angels keep the world safe for humming birds,
and butterflies and rainbows in Spring.
Angels keep it simple and always travel light.
Angels love whispering secrets and whistling in the dark.
Whenever you hear music, an angel is speaking to you.

Remember to leave space in your relationships
So the angels have room to play.
Your guardian angel helps you find a place
When you feel there’s no place to go.
Keep a spare angel in your pocket.

Angels carry high-beam lights to help you
Through the darkest hours.
Whenever you feel lonely,
a special angel drops in for tea.
Angels know that love is the only Four letter word.

We are always “angels on call” for a friend.
Every time you hear a bell ring,
Another angel has earned its wings.
Angels are with you every step of the way
And helps you soar with amazing grace.
After all, we are all angels in training;

All we have to do is
“Spread our wings & Fly.”
