Today’s Angel Message

So far this week the angel’s have definitely been directing us to start paying more attention to our own role in how our lives are.  So many of us find ourselves in a place of feeling like we have to just take things as they come, often feeling like we don’t have a lot of power in our lives.  In a logical sense we know that isn’t true and that we can always change our circumstances and make things in our lives better if we don’t like how they are but when we’re in the thick of it, we often forget that.  When that becomes a pattern of acting and believing it can be hard to accept and use your personal power so it’s important to make room for these changes.  That’s what today’s angel is all about.

Angel of Clearing
“Your time of waiting and confusion will soon be over.”

The images and messages that the angels give me when this card comes up have to do with the idea of baggage.  It’s hard to move forward and make room for new things when you’re still holding on to so much from the past.  Whether it’s that idea that you don’t have any power or control or even if it’s fear of what would happen if you did take control, you need to clear out the negative thoughts, the old emotional baggage and such and make room for change.  One of the ways that you can do this is to hold a small ritual for yourself to honor your power and clear out any negative energy that might still be weighing you down.  Here is a small personal ritual channeled from the angels to help clear and cleanse your aura with the four elements while asking for the blessings and help of the angels.

You’ll Need:
4 or more white candles (tea lights are perfect and you can use whatever number you’d like but at least four to have one in each directional point)
1 stick of incense (an astrological blend or a cleansing blend, you could also use sandalwood or frankincense)
A small cup of spring water
A teaspoon of salt in a small dish

Place your candles in a circle, with at least one in each directional point and any additional ones making a circle.  If you wish, you can anoint your candles with an anointing, cleansing or blessing oil, but this isn’t necessary.  Make sure the candles are in a circle large enough for you to stand and then sit comfortably within.

Place your water and salt dishes inside the circle.

Light the candles.

Standing outside your candle circle, take a few deep breaths and center yourself with the intention of releasing any negative or unwanted energies, vibrations or thoughts.  Light your incense and wave the smoke around you from the feet, up your body and over the top of the head.  As you do this do it with the intention that the smoke is clearing away all the negative energy that is trapped within your aura.  Do this three times and each time use the following affirmation:

“I am cleansed of all negativity by the powers of air.”

Place the incense stick in a holder and you can place it outside the circle or bring it inside with you if you’d like.

Step inside the candle circle and take a moment to stand within and feel the power of the fire around you.  Again, focus your intent on burning away all the negative energies that are around you.  With your hands make the motions of reaching down and drawing up the power of the flames around you.  Visualize that as you reach down and pull your hands up that you are able to actually pull up the fire around you like a blanket.  Do this with intent three times using the following affirmation each time:

“I am cleansed of all negativity by the powers of fire.”

Next, sit in the circle and take a moment to focus.  Pick up the water and hold it for a moment.  Visualize yourself standing at the foot of the beach with ocean waves rolling up against your feet and legs.  Feel the cleansing power of water.  Dip your fingers in the water dish and begin to sprinkle water over yourself visualizing the water washing away any negativity.  Do this three times with the following affirmation:

“I am cleansed of all negativity by the powers of water.”

Now pick up the salt and focus on the power of earth to ground and transmute any negative thoughts or energy.  Take a pinch of salt and place it on your tongue and feel the power of earth clearing away any negative energies within.  Do this three times with the following affirmation:

“I am cleansed of all negativity by the power of earth.”

Sit within the circle and feel yourself centered and grounded.  Take a moment to feel the peace that is surrounding you.  Take a moment here to meditate on feeling free of any emotional or spiritual baggage you have been carrying and call on the angels to carry you forward from here:

“With the strength of the angels who carry and protect me, I move forward from this circle cleanse, light and free of all that does not serve.”

Get up and step out of the circle and blow out the candles.  Move on from here knowing that you are cleansed and clear of all negativity, knowing that if you need more energy you can simply call on the angels and ask for the Angel of Clearing and the Angel of Support to guide you.
