Silver Ray of Illumination
Our journey with the energies of the moon continues today with the presence of Archangel Haniel, whose name means “Grace of God” and in other interpretations “Joy of God.” Archangel Haniel is also connected with the Silver Ray of Illumination and, as noted, the energies of the moon.
The message of this card is: “Enjoy a practice that supports you to trust your inner guidance and spark new passions.”
Thus, we are again invited into a daily practice of connection with self through our hearts. This connection may be made during silent meditation or reflection or, for those of you that struggle with the silence, through active meditiation and your intention. With daily practice, our connection to our inner divinity becomes more natural and habitual. It replaces our indoctrinated conditioning and what we have learned from others. Said another way, it allows us to come out of the external and fear into a relationship that honors ourselves with inner peace and connection to our souls.
Take the time today to connect with your heart space and call forth the presence of your guidance team. You are invited to specifically call forth the presence of Archangel Haniel. As you surrender into the energies of their love and support, ask the angels to assist you in connecting with the voice of your soul.
What do you hear, see, sense, know, feel, or imagine?
Is this voice loving, supportive, and positive?
Is this voice critical, judgmental, externally directed, or dramatic?
What do you notice as you continue to listen to this voice?
This exercise will assist you in garnering discernment about which voice you are hearing or sensing as you encounter each circumstance within your day. If the voice is critical, judgmental, negative, or dramatic, this is the voice of the ego-mind. If the voice is loving, supportive, positive, hopeful and direct, this is the voice of your soul.
Intend to connect with and follow the guidance of your heart - your inner divinity - as you go through your day, rather than the ego-mind. What do you notice in your experience? If you feel you have disconnected from the guidance of your inner divinity, close your eyes and take three deep breaths focusing on your heart space and intending to reconnect. How does this practice impact your experiences?
The final message and invitation of this card is to repeat this affirmation:
“I bless myself with loving kindness, every time I listen, trust, and follow my guidance.”
As you continue to practice this exercise, it becomes easier and more natural - this is the discernment that affords us freedom and choice as we walk through each moment of our lives.
