As Your Spiritual Journey Unfolds Eliminate Spiritual Bondage By Learning How To Protect Yourself
This is a short lesson on how to continue your spiritual path from your heart center.
The expansion of your soul is important, however, it is important to expand with protection.
Here are some of the Archangels you can call upon:
Michael - #1 in command
Gabriel - Governs emotions, calms doubts, and helps with confidence
Raphael - Healing oversees energy on body, mind & spirit
Uriel - Grounding vibration, multitasker. Patron of music
Metaron - Powerful even though he is the youngest. He was Enoch in human form, thus he can grasp human concepts for us
Azrael - Helps people cross over when they transition making sure they do not suffer
Zadkiel - Helps with memory functions, and important information we need
At times our ego can take control if we are not focused. Here are some guidelines for the difference between Ego and True Guidance.
EGO
Wears a mask, yes a spiritual mask.
Gives us an enemy to oppose.
Limited in source - Conditioned, leading us back to what is familiar to keep us comfortable.
Works with worry, always.
Its tendency is to distrust Divine Order.
Lives in regret.
Can make us believe that our outside circumstances must change before things are different.
TRUE GUIDANCE
It is always clear, with guidance.
Has a positive vibe.
It comes quickly, never leaving us guessing what the message is.
It is consistent with the message.
Helps our spiritual growth or others.
It never flatters us, never demeans us in any way, and never puts us above or below anyone. This is not its purpose.
It always feels right, and if we have doubts, we can get clarification on the matter.
It does not procrastinate, never puts us off, or allows us to do it at a later time. Again, not its purpose.
My personal favorite: Speaks in the second person using you. (Like a loving parent giving positive advice for your highest good).
Love Yourself - Embrace Your Soul, the Wise Wisdom and its Loving Approach
Your soul knows all of the lifetimes you have ever lived, even when you were in spirit form. Let it step forward and claim your true power.
In time, you will learn how to liberate the ego from its self-imposing pain and integrate it with your spiritual awakening and growth. They work together compassionately. It is for our highest good.
How to Summon Protection
When you sit quietly for meditation or to be still, know that you are accessing Source - the Power of Spirit, which can also leave you open to lower energies. Ask and give yourself protection from your angels. It is best to start asking the Archangels for protection.
When you inhale to take a breath, you draw in heavenly power to heal, and when you release that breath with an exhale, you release toxins, stress, or anything that disturbs your inner peace, and you also allow yourself to be filled with the presence of Spirit.
Relax and let spirit do the work, especially if you have been unsuccessful with guidance.
Take a slow deep breath in, through the nose, and out through the mouth, but slowly.
If this feels good, move on. If you are feeling stressed, do 2 or more of these breaths.
Close your eyes gently and say:
My Archangels (feel free to name them if you work with them, call them by name. Or call on the ones above for now) I call upon you now to fill me and protect me during this time with you. Please shield me and protect me from lower energies. Archangel Michael, please allow ONLY High Energy Guides to surround me so that I am aligned with:
Divine Source
Divine Realms
My Higher Divine Self
Please surround me with your Divine Light of love and protection and speak to me. Tell me what you would like me to know. Please let me be a clear channel to receive your wisdom, insights, and healing.
If your mind wanders, let it pass as if it is on a train watching it disappear. Come back to your center, and take a breath in and out to put yourself back in meditation mode.
Ask your question or what message they would like to give you today.
You can also ask Spirit to help you increase your faith and trust to benefit from Divine Guidance.
PRACTICE * PRACTICE * PRACTICE
I do this for the most simple things (parking up front) and the most difficult (now what do I do with this!) or the most challenging things (change, I want change with this, etc...) going on in my life. I do this for my protection or protection and healing for anyone asking or needing it.
On your journey and with time, what works best for you in asking for protection will come and
strengthen your growth.
Because you have free will, you must ask. They cannot intervene without a request.
