Intercessions - Healing with Archangels & Prayer

Calling on the Archangels: How to do a Prayer Request

You can call on the archangel realms to assist you. They are compassionate beings who stand with us to create a better world.

Twelve major archangels assist the beings of Earth at this time. The Archangel chart above lists their chakra (power center), color, gemstone and flower associations, as well as their special areas of expertise and involvement.

What to ask for

Requests angels love to support involve growth, learning, protection, healing, and selfless assistance to others. The more sincere, meaningful and honorable the request, the greater the results.

This form of prayer request is not a substitute for clearing, which requires a different technique and specialized training.

Experiencing Angels

You are calling on archangel realms, which include angels skilled in asssociated fields.

None of this healing work requires that you see angels. Although you may have a visual experience, that is not the goal. Angelic beings are not focused on overwhelming you by appearing as apparitions. Then they would just have to help you heal from an overwhelming experience. People and angels live in different dimensions and angels generally like to keep it that way unless there is some overriding reason for them to appear to us.

It is more helpful to feel this experience than to see an angel appear. These are no-nonsense beings who are here to help us heal and accomplish worthy goals - angels in work boots. More healing occurs on the levels of emotion, feeling, intuition, understanding, the body and life situations. If you experience an internal shift and changes for the better, the archangel realms have done their jobs.

How to do a Prayer Request

Let's use an example. Perhaps you are having difficulty getting along with a co-worker and would like a more harmonious relationship. With this intention, sit quietly and go through these steps:

Gather your thoughts. Who is involved? What are the issues? What type of help do you need? What outcome would you like to see? Do you need help seeing and accomplishing any internal or external changes for yourself?

Choose some archangel realms. Look through the list of archangels on the Archangel chart above and select your helpers. For this example, you might choose Archangel Gabriel's realm for communication and Archangel Raphael's realm for healing and love.

Light a candle (optional). If you like, light a candle next to you before you make your request. The angels will find you with or without the candle, but it's a nice touch.

Call on the archangel realms. Speaking out-loud, say three times the name(s) of the archangel(s) you have chosen to ask for help, plus call on other possibilities: "Archangels Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel; Raphael, Raphael, Raphael; and any other archangel realms of the Light ..."

Make your prayer request. Speaking out-loud, make your request as specific as you can. Speak naturally. An example: "Please help heal the conflict between me and ________. This is the problem: (state your perception of the problem). Help us work together harmoniously and productively."

Sort through your thoughts during the request. If you start rambling during your request, it's fine. Sorting thoughts and feelings when speaking with angels is part of the healing process. If we had it all figured out, we wouldn't need to ask for help. This is like talking with your best friends. The angelic realms are very loving and supportive, and have a profound understanding of the healing process.

Say "thank you." A heart-felt "thank you" will set any reasonable request into motion.
