Good evening,
Friends,
And welcome to this peaceful bedtime Archangel meditation.
Traditional bedtime prayers included the following invocation.
May Michael be at my right,
Gabriel at my left,
Uriel in front of me,
Raphael behind me,
And above my head,
The Holy Spirit or divine feminine presence.
This is one of my favorite meditations and it works well for adults and children.
As a meditation,
It can be used to develop a sense of protection,
Comfort,
Healing,
And security.
Let's begin.
Close your eyes.
Begin to relax your body and breathe in your own rhythm.
Allow your attention to focus on the experience of your body and the movements of your chest and stomach around the breath.
Are your breaths long or short,
Shallow or deep?
Just notice.
And as you do,
Let your body relax more and more knowing you have nowhere else to be right now,
Nothing else to do.
And all is well right here and right now in the present moment.
And on your next in-breath,
Take a few slow,
Deep cleansing breaths.
Visualize,
Pretend or imagine that you're breathing in the peaceful,
Positive energy all around you,
Breathing out and letting go,
Whatever that means to you.
Breathing from way in to way out.
Nice comfortable breathing.
Feel yourself dropping down from your mind into your physical body.
Feel the weight of your body sinking into the surface you're resting on as you become more comfortable and relaxed.
You're breathing nice and deep and even.
When we call upon the angels to be with us,
We tap into an infinite resource of goodwill.
It's as if we plug into the magnetic core of the earth to keep ourselves centered.
Archangels represent the God center of the universe and they draw nourishment from its infinite supply.
As you continue to breathe easily and effortlessly,
I'd like to call upon your guardian angels and guides,
The archangels,
The ascended masters,
God source creator of the universe and all his holy beings of light to assist with this meditation.
I ask that any guidance,
Insight or wisdom you receive throughout this meditation be for your highest good and the highest good of all concerned.
And soon you'll be receiving a visit within and so much as you would prepare your home to welcome a special guest,
Let's take a few moments to clear your mind and open your heart as you prepare to welcome the archangels.
Start by imagining a soft shower of golden light being sent down toward you from heaven.
See,
Feel and sense the light sparkling shower falling all around you and through you,
Clearing your energy field,
Lifting your spirit and leaving everything sweet and fresh as it would be after a light summer rain.
Now imagine a warm current of love softly pulsing in the center of your chest and your spiritual heart.
As this love continues to pulse,
Your heart becomes warmer and softer and begins to open like a flower in the sunshine.
As your heart opens,
Everything seems to fade away but love and love begins to fill your whole being with this warm,
Soft feeling.
Then your love begins to overflow and spread out from you in every direction.
And as your love continues to expand,
It meets another outpouring of love that's coming down from heaven.
And where your love and this heavenly love meet,
A radiant light begins to appear manifesting in the air and drifting softly down around you.
This light represents the divine energy of the angels.
The light surrounds you with love,
Support and peace.
Down they float,
Settling all around you and bringing you the sweetest scent and the most wonderful feeling and a blessing of peace.
Take a moment to receive this blessing as it continues to help you open and expand your heart.
Breathe in your own rhythm.
And as this blessing unfolds,
The archangels come closer and closer so that you can begin to feel them unfolding you with their love.
And now,
Soft as a whisper,
The archangels are with you.
Know you are surrounded by heavenly light.
Now bring awareness to the right side of your body.
Let yourself imagine that you can feel a presence along the right side of your body and the right side of your face.
It can be like a subtle pressure,
A tingling,
A vibration.
You could sense heat or coolness or some other sensation.
If you cannot feel anything,
Simply know that this presence is on your right side.
Give this experience on the right side the name Michael.
The archangel Michael is often viewed as the messenger of God.
Whatever this may mean to you,
Pretend or imagine that the messenger of God is totally present on the right side of your body.
Be with this experience for a moment.
And when you are ready,
Let yourself imagine another presence on the left side of your body.
Feel the pressure,
The heat,
Or the tingling,
Just like on your right.
This is the archangel Gabriel,
Who is known to represent the strength of God.
Visualize,
Pretend or imagine that the strength of God is totally present on the left side of your body.
Stay with this experience for a moment.
You can now experience both sides simultaneously.
The messenger of God on your right and the strength of God on your left.
And now allow yourself to sense a loving energy behind you anywhere along your backside,
Particularly supporting you as you're sitting or lying down.
Imagine this is part of what's holding you up.
This loving energy is the archangel Raphael,
Generally known as the healing power of God.
Enjoy this experience for a moment.
The healing power of God at your back.
And you can now experience all three simultaneously.
Michael the messenger on your right,
Gabriel the strength on your left,
And Raphael the healer supporting you from behind.
Now imagine a light shining ahead of you in front of your face.
Allow it to be as bright as you can.
This is the archangel Uriel,
The light of God.
Feel yourself surrounded on all four sides.
A messenger,
Strength,
Healing,
And light.
Finally,
Imagine a warm,
Nourishing energy of love hovering above your body.
This is the archangel's Shamuel,
The angel of peace.
Allow this energy to slowly descend down,
Surrounding you completely with love,
Enveloping you with tender protection,
Cradling you in the softest,
Most peaceful state of mind you have ever experienced.
Be with this angel for a moment.
Surrounded by the angels,
You are also in the arms of infinite kindness,
Absolute security,
And safety.
And when you are ready,
Slowly allow this radiant sweet energy to rise up again,
To hover over your head.
Begin to release the angels one by one,
Thanking them for their presence,
Guidance,
And healing.
Uriel in front of you,
Raphael behind you,
Gabriel at your left,
And Michael on your right.
Ensure they don't go too far away,
But give you freedom of movement.
Know that you can call upon these archangels whenever you wish,
And they will be by your side in an instant,
Keeping your eyes closed and your body relaxed.
Bring your attention back to your breath,
Back into the room where your body's been resting.
And before you fall asleep,
Take some time to reflect on your experience and enjoy your body in this relaxed,
Peaceful state.
Goodnight!
You
