Your Guide to the Archangels
An angel can be your best friend. Angels have been known
respond to prayers that contain the phrase "Hey, somebody,
anybody up there HELP!!!" but they come quickest when addressed
politely by their Christian names. Like a friend, as opposed to
a servant, an angel also doesn't like to be bossed around.
Angels are to be treated like guests who are invited into your
heart...like most guests they tend to leave or ignore
enviroments that are filled with aggression, anxiety anger and
hostility. So before you call on an angel, it is important to
meditate, and picture your own heart as a soft, tender and
heavenly place ... a place you'd want to visit if you were a
astral being. So before you call on an angel to do you a favour,
it is important to meditate and maybe light a candle that is
attractive to that particularbeing. So the first thing you must
do, when you call upon an angel, is prepare your heart to
recieve its presence. Speak the angel's name out loud. Talk to
the angel like you would a treasured friend .. not like a
withholding parent or an evil fairy that won't grant your wish.
Don't demand immediate gratification and don't be so rude as to
interrupt if you start to hear a message. If you are silent,
respectful, fervent and loving, an angel will always give you
the answer you need to solve your problem. You wouldn't ask a
plumber to fix your car, so it is important to know which
archangel is best at fixing which kind of problem. Each angel
has a job, and exist on astral planes that correspond to
different light rays. Make your request specific, and visualize
what you would like if you can, but don't be attached to the
outcome. Angels are agents of the Lord and like God, they work
in mysterious ways... Here is a list of the Seven Archangels,
their functions and corresponding light rays: The ARCHANGEL
