Archangel Uriel

Archangel Uriel serves on the Sixth Ray, the purple and gold ray of peace and ministration. His name means Fire of God, and the fire he carries is the kind that gives light and warmth in the middle of the night: a lantern, not a blaze.

Uriel is the Archangel to call when life has become dark or tangled and you cannot see the way through. He does not usually remove the difficulty. He illuminates it, and the next step becomes visible.

Role in the Ascension

The Sixth Ray governs the solar plexus, the center where human beings hold anger, fear of conflict and the urge to control. Until this center is at peace, the heart above it cannot stay open for long. Uriel and Archeia Aurora work here, drawing off agitation and teaching the difference between true peace and the mere avoidance of trouble.

The Sixth Ray is also the ray of service. Uriel shows that real service flows from fullness. It does not exhaust the one who gives, because it is not driven by guilt or by the need to be needed.

When to Call on Uriel

• Peace of mind in a crisis or a sleepless night
• Resolving conflict in families, workplaces and communities
• Releasing anger, resentment and the need to be right
• Insight into a problem that seems to have no solution
• Serving others without burning out

Signs That Uriel Is Near

• Deep gold, amber or ruby light, like firelight or sunset
• A settling sensation in the stomach and solar plexus
• A solution arriving quietly after you have stopped struggling for it
• Sudden calm in a room where there has been tension
• Vivid, meaningful dreams in the hours before dawn

How to Work With Uriel

1. When you are troubled, stop and place both hands over the solar plexus, just above the navel.
2. Ask Uriel to fill this center with golden light and to draw out everything that is not peace.
3. Breathe slowly until the area feels warm and still.
4. Then ask: what is the one thing here that is mine to do?
5. Do that one thing, and leave the rest in his keeping.

An Invocation

Archangel Uriel, angel of the purple and gold ray,
bring your light into this hour.
Still the storm within me and around me.
Show me the step that is mine to take,
and make me an instrument of peace.

A Word From Archangel Uriel

Peace is not the reward at the end of your struggle. It is the ground you are standing on while you struggle. Look down.

I do not ask you to stop caring about the world. I ask you to care from stillness. A lamp helps no one by shaking.
