An Invitation To Healing With Archangel Raphael Archangel Raphael is the Archangel of Healing. He wishes to extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to work with him for their own personal healing, or for that of another. Each person is capable of healing themselves and assisting others to heal. Mother/Father God supports you in your intentions of healing and there are many Angels and Masters who can assist you directly with healing and guidance, if you ask them. All that you need to do is be open to their help and loving energy. Each person can readily work with Archangel Raphael and all of the Archangels, Angels, and Masters here to support us. They have unconditional Love for us and wish to help us live our lives to our highest potential. Asking your Higher Self to join you in the healing is a very important component. Your Higher Self is your soul, who you are on a spiritual level. Working in unison with their energies and intentions can expedite the healing process. Please note the when you do a healing on others it is always with the help of their Higher Self, whether it is a hands on healing, or a long distance healing. To work with Archangel Raphael and your own Higher Self and angels all you need to do is invite them in and state your intentions. It is best to ask for healing in your highest good. That way any underlying problems are healed and you are not just concentrating only on the symptoms. The best way to ask Archangel Raphael and your angels to work with you is from a meditative or quite state of mind. To prepare you might want to take a few slow deep breaths and say a prayer to Mother/Father God to help you be as open to the healing as you can and ask Them to please join in with the healing work and support you through your healing process. When you are ready to begin the healing say Archangel Raphael's name either in your mind or softly out load and ask that he come in to assist in your healing. At that time you can also invite in your Higher Self and your own angels. You do not need to know their names, they are very aware of you, all that you need to do is direct your thoughts to them and say "Please help me heal" or "Please join with Archangel Raphael in my healing process". To Work With Archangel Raphael for Your Own Healing After getting into a relaxed or quite state of mind and inviting Archangel Raphael in: Try to picture Raphael standing near you with his hands outstretched over your head. See the healing energy in the form of White Light flowing from his hands down through your body. Try to relax and feel the energy. You may not be able to feel the energy at first, but after you work in this manner for several sessions (if needed) you will probably begin to become more sensitive to the energy. Most people feel the healing energy as a warmth, or a tingle. Some people feel it as a soft and loving current running through their body.

It is best to do this overall healing first to open you to the healing energy and prepare you on all levels to accept the healing. This initial step can last for several minutes or until you feel that it is time to move on to the next step. You can now work on specific areas of your body. If you can, place your hands over the area that you would like healed, picture Raphael's hands over your own and see the White Light flowing through his hands to your own and on to your injury or area of illness. Your hands may become very warm from the healing energy when you do this. If you cannot reach the injured part of your body visualize Raphael's hands over that part and picture and try to feel the energy flowing there. It does not matter if you are good at visualizations, or whether or not you can physically feel the healing energy, your intentions and the assistance of Raphael, your Higher Self, and the angles that you are working with are what enables you to heal. This method works with injuries and illnesses equally well. You may repeat this work several times a day if necessary, or whenever you feel that you need it. In many cases once you are use to working with Archangel Raphael, your Higher Self, and your Angels in this way it is easy to establish a good connection with them fairly quickly for relief and healing. This is especially true if the situation is chronic and they work with you many times throughout the day or week for healing or symptom management such as pain relief. But even when you are use to working with them throughout the day it is best to go through the process and picture White Light flowing to the area that needs healing. Your conscious participation in the healing work is very helpful. Find what works best for you. Some people like or need the extra focus and visualizations each time. Please remember to thank Archangel Raphael, your Higher Self and your Angels for their help. They really appreciate the acknowledgment that you know they are their working with you. You can also take the time and opportunity to talk with them, either telepathically in your mind or out loud. They do hear what you say and acknowledge it in ways that they can, even if you cannot hear their responses back to you in words yet. Working With Someone Else For Healing Anyone can work with the healing energy to assist in another person's healing. You do not need any special training to do this type of healing work. You are offering your assistance by acting as a channel for the divine healing energy. All that is needed is your intention to help the other person in their highest good. You cannot do any harm. The healing energy can only help. Raphael, your Higher Self and Angles, and the Higher Self and Angels of the person you are doing the healing work with are directing the healing. Your main job is to be a physical conduit for the divine energies. Ask the person you are going to be working with to either sit in a

chair or lay down. It is very helpful at that time if both of you take a moment to take a few slow deep breaths and say a prayer to be open to the healing energy and to the highest help and support from your Higher Selves and the angels that you will be working with. It is also very helpful to include in the prayer a request to Mother/Father God to join in the healing work, and for support for the person throughout their healing process. When this is done take a few more minutes to ask to be readied to accept the flow of the healing energies through you. As you are stating your wishes your Higher Self will begin to open your chakras so that you can be a more efficient channel for the divine energies. When you are ready to begin you can both invite Archangel Raphael and your own Angels, and your Higher Self to begin work with you. State your intentions clearly for the healing. You can include a statement that you wish to assist in the healing in the person's highest good and the person being healed can state that they accept the healing in their own highest good. All of this can be done silently, if you like. The person being healed doesn't necessarily have to participate in the prayers and invitation. But it is very helpful if they do take a more active role in the healing and know that their own Higher Self and Angels are participating at their request. It is also important that they know that they can call in those Beings of Light at any time themselves for healing or symptom control such as pain management etc. The first step when assisting someone in healing: Place your hands on or above the person's head. Picture Archangel Raphael standing behind you working through you, or in front of you working with you. Try to picture and or feeling the healing divine energies flowing from your hands to the person you are working with. Your hands may become warm from the energy. After several minutes of this you can move on to specific areas of the body where it is needed the most. Trust your own feelings and guidance as to the length of time to spend on each area and where to place your hands. Don't be surprised if you feel that you should work on areas that seemingly have nothing to do with the areas of disease or injury. Sometimes there are underlying causes in other areas of the body, or even an unrelated need for healing in that area of the body. Working with the healing energy is truly that easy. The healing is done by your intention and willingness to work with Raphael and the Angels ministering to you or the people that you are working with.
