Angels and Spirit Guides

Archangel Raguel, angel of relationships and harmony speaks to us about forgiveness. He reminds us to recognize our feelings and thoughts regarding any situation where our heart, mind, and body bridge our past memories of disappointment and hurt to something in the present.

For instance, you may have seen your parents get frustrated and angry about money issues when you were a child and that memory triggers feelings of fear surrounding money for you today. Forgive your past and any person, place or situation related to it. Holding on to old pain from the past is likened to a slow and painful death. We end up creating more hurt and pain for ourselves instead of creating the joy and well-being we really want. Release the past and welcome the new.

If you are having trouble forgiving and releasing a certain situation or person, archangel Raguel asks us to see the perfection in any situation. He assures us that in every situation a gift of opportunity awaits. We only have to look at the situation with angel eyes to uncover it. Practice seeing perfection in yourself and in others, daily. Open your heart center to the light within for it shines even brighter when we are conscious of our connection to each other and all of creation. Below is an easy exercise to forgive and release.

Forgiveness and releasing exercise:

• Sit in a comfortable upright position in an area where you will not be disturbed.
• Light a white candle and gaze into the flame.
• Take a deep cleansing breath in and exhale any tension. Imagine you are inhaling beautiful white light and exhaling any concerns, tension and pain.
• Once you feel you have found your center or the calmness within, make a list of any person, situation, company, animal, etc... that has hurt or disappointed you in your life up to this moment.
• Then take a deep cleansing breathe and hold the intention of opening your heart to the first name on your list.
• In your mind's eye, see the first person and or situation on your list and remember the feelings and thoughts related to it. See yourself walking over to the person involved and ask them if you may give them a hug. After you hug them, look at them and say "I forgive you, I forgive myself." Notice any feelings, thoughts, or impressions that come up. See the light within their being and know that their true essence is love, just as it is also your true essence. Feel the warmth of this loving light embrace you both.
• Now make the decision to release this situation and any pain surrounding this memory to the angels. See this memory as a purple ball of light coming forth from the two of you. Watch it go up to the heavens and invite archangel Michael to carry it away for recycling.
• Now take another deep cleansing breathe and move on to the next name on your list and so forth.
• When you have completed your list burn it in a safe bowl. Place the ashes in the ground for the earth to recycle. Thank archangel Michael for his assistance.

Each time you find yourself thinking or feeling a past memory that brings up pain or disappointment hold this person and/or situation in pink light. Choose to feel only love.

In forgiveness we release our past of disappointment and pain to our angels and the Divine Universe for cleansing and open ourselves up to new experiences of joy and well-being that shape our memories and new blessings! And so it is.
