Angels 101

#52: Retreat Into the Temple of Your Heart

The most beautiful place to meet your angels is in the temple of your heart. By using your imagination and seeing with your mind’s eye, this temple can appear in the style of ecclesiastical or other types of architecture that you most love, or it can appear simply as a natural setting with flowing water, blooming scented flowers, sheltering trees, verdant meadows, and a quiet cave or sheltered area. Imagine it any way you want that will draw you inward again and again. This imaginary place in your heart is hallowed space, made so because it is where you retreat from the cares of the world to commune with God and your angels.

If you like the idea of using a ritual to start the process of raising your vibration and preparing to meet your angels, conceive of a ritual that you will use each time you go into that temple. Your ritual might involve lighting a stick of incense before sitting or lying down, closing your eyes, and turning inward. Or it might involve sipping an herb tea from a special cup or placing a glass of water before you to be energized by the presence of angels (drink it afterwards). You could drink a little of the water before meditating to symbolize your consciousness sliding down into the inner recesses of your heart, symbolically opening the door of your temple. Or perhaps you close your eyes and visualize energy in a column rising through your chakra centers, along a channel extending from the base of your tailbone upward through the solar plexus (area of your kidneys) and navel to the heart chakra.

As you see the energy column rise, imagine it passing through each chakra vibrating or whirling in the colors of red (at the tailbone), orange (at the solar plexus), yellow (at the navel), and green (in the heart). Rest in awareness there, or move your energy higher where you will see blue at the throat chakra, deep purple at the third eye, and violet at the crown. Whatever ritual you devise, use it whenever you are ready to spend time in your heart temple. You and your angels both understand that when the ritual begins, it is time to join together.
