Archangel Michael

Archangel Michael is the best known and most often called of all the Archangels. He serves on the First Ray, the sapphire-blue ray of divine will, and he is the one to whom people in every culture have turned when they are afraid. His presence is unmistakable: steady, direct and very strong, yet never harsh.

Michael has never lived a human life. He is an overlighting intelligence of the angelic kingdom, and he is able to be fully present with any number of people at once. No request is too small for him, and no one who asks for his protection is ever refused.

Role in the Ascension

In the work of ascension, Michael is the guardian at every threshold. Each time you move into a higher frequency, something older and heavier has to be left behind: a fear, a loyalty to suffering, a cord to a person or a time that is finished. Michael is the one who helps you set it down.

The teachings describe his sword of blue flame as an instrument of release, not of battle. It separates what is truly yours from what you have been carrying for others. With Archeia Faith he also strengthens the quality that makes the whole path possible, which is trust in your own I AM Presence.

When to Call on Michael

• Protection of yourself, your home and those you love
• Courage when you must speak, decide or begin
• Cutting cords to old relationships, places and agreements
• Clearing fear, dread and intrusive worry
• Clarity about your life purpose and the next step on it

Signs That Michael Is Near

• Flashes or sparkles of cobalt or electric blue light, especially at the edge of vision
• A sudden warmth across the shoulders and upper back, as if a cloak had been placed there
• A clear, brief inner voice that speaks to the point and does not repeat itself
• An unexpected sense of steadiness in the middle of a difficult moment
• Finding that a fear which felt enormous has simply become smaller

How to Work With Michael

1. Stand or sit with your spine upright and take three slow breaths.
2. Say his name aloud three times. The spoken word matters, because the Archangels honor free will and wait to be asked.
3. See a sphere of sapphire-blue light forming around you, an arm's length in every direction.
4. Name plainly what you are asking for. One sentence is enough.
5. Thank him, and then act as someone who is protected. The asking is completed by the trust.

An Invocation

Archangel Michael, stand before me.
Archangel Michael, stand behind me.
Archangel Michael, to my right and to my left,
above me, beneath me and within my heart.
Seal me in your blue flame of faith,
and free me from all that is less than love.

A Word From Archangel Michael

You ask me to fight for you, and I tell you there is nothing to fight. Fear is not an enemy. It is a room you have been standing in for so long that you have forgotten it has a door.

I do not come to make you safe from the world. I come to remind you that you were never as small as the fear told you. Call me, and then walk through the door.
