THE ANGELS OF THE HEALING ART

The healing angels under their mighty head, the Archangel Raphael being filled with love for their human brethren, pursue their work continuously. Their presence by the sickbeds of men is a reality, though the minds and hearts of the majority of those responsible for healing of sickness are closed against them. Many who suffer and have suffered, know them well. They stand in their thousands on the spiritual and mental thresholds of every sickroom, in hospital or home, eager to enter in. Hitherto, but few have succeeded; the barriers upraised by human minds are often insuperable; should they break through these in spite of opposition, the precious healing which they bear in outstretched arms would be lost, dissipated in the effort to overcome resistance.

Hospitals and sickrooms could be filled with healing angels and healing power, if man would but spiritualize the healing art and regularly invoke spiritual and angelic healing help for the sick. If human minds can but be opened to these facts, the angel beside the bed of pain might become a far greater and far more living reality, whether in the private home or in great hospitals; and the whole work of healing and medical research might receive a tremendous impulse as the Archangel Raphael and his hosts descend amongst us and assist both in the healing of disease and in medical research.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this book is to bring into focus the simplicity, serenity and beauty of angel healing. An excellent way to draw close to the angelic worlds and enjoy regular communion with the angels themselves, so that we begin to enjoy the innumerable benefits that such contact confers, is to actively engage with the angels in healing ourselves, one another and the planet. Angels are task-based, and the best way to invite them into our lives is to begin to work with them on a well-defined and practical basis.

As humanity attunes ever more deeply to the spiritual spheres, it will discover that the treatment of illness from the orthodox point of view, where the malaise is separated from its human context and bombarded with aggressive chemicals, becomes less and less satisfactory. A much wider scope of knowledge of our holistic being is required. The healing angels bear this knowledge, coming to us on exquisite colour rays which are aspects of consciousness itself. When we attune to the healing angels through simple and serene ceremony and ritual, healing floods our being on every level and releases us from the imprisonment of our sickness. We can then understand that the manifestation of our illness was a refusal, a blocked conduit, or a lack of understanding of the spiritual light which is our true essence.

My own experiences of communion with the angels led me to write my previous two books (Summoning Angels and Your Guardian Angel). I subsequently gave workshops on what I had personally experienced and learned in this field. The enthusiastic response and the number of spontaneous healings and angelic manifestations that took place during these workshops encouraged me to expand and intensify my focus on the path of angel therapy that was opening out before me, and I became eager to share with others the simple methods and procedures that the angels themselves were revealing to me. They are so easy to learn, so liberating and rewarding in their application and effects, it seemed to me that anyone could make use of them, even those among us who do not feel particularly attuned to the angelic realms!

There is nothing complicated about the healing rituals. Anyone, whether experienced in the subtleties of regular angelic contact or not, can put these simple healing ceremonies into operation at once, for their own benefit and the benefit of others. Although crystals, fragrances, flowers, coloured candles and other angelic correspondences are sometimes given in the text as an integral part of the healing ceremonies, the angels reassure us that our imagination is the key to successful ritual. You do not need to arm yourself with material paraphernalia before beginning to work with the angels.

I have made a point throughout of bringing to the fore certain methods of procedure which the angels themselves have requested, and which are essential in procuring and maintaining a strong, clear, highly functioning link with them. Many of these healing implementations spring from communications which I have received directly from angelic sources; others are the inspiration of that great angel seer, Geoffrey Hodson, one of the earliest of our present-day iconic angel teachers, to whom this book pays tribute. His teachings have always clarified and directed my understanding of my own communion with the angels.

The gentle techniques of angel healing outlined in the following pages will appeal to all those who seek deeper realities in the living of their lives than a purely materialistic philosophy can provide. Here is proof, growing ever clearer and more evident on a day-to-day basis as the healing rituals are put into practice, that angels do indeed exist and bear healing and transformation on their wings for the uplift and blessing of straitened humanity.

CHAPTER ONE

THE ANGEL OF THE POINTING HAND

In his book, The Brotherhood of Angels and of Men, Geoffrey Hodson gives us an evocative image of an angel pointing upwards the angel of the pointing hand. This image comprises the first lesson that the healing angels bring to us. We need to bear in mind always that the healing, inspiring, life-renewing domain of the angels cannot be entered at the level of ordinary, everyday awareness. We need to aspire heavenwards, to reach upwards in consciousness to the most exalted heights of which we can conceive. Simultaneously, we need to maintain a balance by realizing that our communion and cooperation with the healing angels takes place on the simplest level, in everyday circumstances, and, if we are to benefit fully, should indeed be a daily occurrence.

How can we reconcile these two apparently conflicting truths? Perhaps we can do so by embracing a new understanding of what we might term our everyday awareness. Whilst we always need to be properly grounded in order to fulfil our earthly lives and to engage with mundane tasks, our corresponding mundane consciousness can be lifted many times throughout each day into a beautiful awareness of the angelic realms, so that communion with these beings becomes as natural as breathing, and our vision of life is no longer compressed into airless and stultifying compartments of dull materiality, but is shot through with the rainbow hues that are the dynamic joy and the soaring song of the angels.
