Archangel Raphael: The Archangel of Healing
There are many archangels, but four of the most recognized and written about throughout history are Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. While I connect with all of them frequently, as a healer, I feel especially connected to Archangel Raphael.
Raphael's energy feels subtle to me—not as forward as some of the other archangels. He is quieter and more reserved. He comes in on the emerald green ray of healing, with an energy that reminds me of nature: gentle, peaceful, and restorative.
Calm. That is the word I would use to describe what I feel whenever Raphael comes in.
Archangel Raphael is known as the Archangel of Healing. In my work and spiritual understanding, he is also connected with the third eye chakra and with health, wealth, and abundance. Raphael is traditionally associated with travelers and safe journeys, which is why I often call upon him whenever I am preparing for a trip.
Raphael is featured prominently in the Book of Tobit, where he accompanies Tobit's son, Tobias, on his journey and ultimately helps bring healing to the family, including the restoration of Tobit's sight. At the end of the story, Raphael reveals his identity and declares that he is "Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand in the glorious presence of the Lord.”
I call upon Archangel Raphael whenever I am conducting an energy healing, sending healing prayers to someone, or seeking healing for myself—whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
In my psychic and mediumship readings, the third eye chakra is also foundational to the way I receive and interpret information. It is where I tune into my clairs—clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, and other intuitive senses—to perceive and understand energy.
A Message from Archangel Raphael
The Third Eye & Intuition
I am aligned with and oversee the third eye chakra, where your intuition lies. Your intuition is one of the most important aspects of being human. It is a protector of sorts, guiding you and helping you understand which direction to take. It is that inner voice—the voice of reason, guidance, and protection.
I help heighten and illuminate it when you need it most. The third eye also helps illuminate your clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, clairalience, and clairgustance.
In times of anxiety or uneasiness, I often call upon Raphael. His message is:
You can call on me for immense healing—not only physical healing, but deep mental and emotional healing as well.
Raphael's Emerald Green Ray
Archangel Raphael is most often associated with emerald green, the color of his healing ray. Emerald, green aventurine, jade, clear quartz, and other green stones can be used as symbols of his energy. From my own channels, I have come to understand that Raphael works with above and uses jade.
Some archangels are believed to have etheric retreats or particular places on Earth with which their energy is strongly associated. In my spiritual understanding, Raphael has a connection with Fátima, Portugal, a sacred place associated with apparitions of the Virgin Mary, whom Catholic tradition honors as the Queen of Angels.
What Does Raphael Want Us to Know?
I work with people in the healing arts—healers, therapists, doctors, and those who dedicate themselves to helping others. But you do not have to work in a healing profession. I work with anyone who lives in service to others.
When you think beyond yourself and give back to others, you attract immense abundance. Not simply riches, but true abundance—a life filled with things far more meaningful than material possessions. That is true abundance.
What Is Important to Raphael?
I want people to feel calm and serene. I am not flashy. I oversee the East and the mental plane, helping clear the mind and bringing clarity.
Be clear. Be at peace within yourself.
Open your heart. Surrender to love, and watch how peaceful your life becomes.
Meditation to Call Upon Archangel Raphael
Raphael's energy brings to mind the natural world—the sea, green grass, rolling hills, and beautiful expanses of water. If you would like to connect with him, begin by finding a quiet place for meditation or prayer.
Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.
Imagine yourself surrounded by beautiful rolling green hills. Perhaps there is a deep green sea or peaceful water in the distance. Allow yourself to become completely still.
Begin releasing the anxiety, tension, and stress you have been carrying.
Let go of what you have been holding onto emotionally.
Let go of what you have been holding onto physically.
Release it all.
Now imagine a gentle wave of emerald green light washing over you. Allow it to move through your body, your mind, and your heart.
Continue taking slow, deep breaths.
You can pray the Rosary, say a traditional prayer, speak directly to God, or simply offer words of love and gratitude. Prayer does not have to be complicated. Giving love to God and praying for people throughout the world is prayer.
Prayer can change the world.
Take another deep breath.
Let it go.
Release. Relax. And know that Raphael is there.
Imagine him gently covering you in emerald green light and allowing a subtle wave of peace to wash over you.
Stay there for as long as you need.
When to Call Upon Archangel Raphael
Call upon Raphael:
When you are seeking healing—physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
During times of anxiety, stress, or tension.
When you need calm, serenity, and peace.
When you feel trapped in your thoughts and need mental clarity.
When the endless chatter in your mind will not stop.
When you are praying or sending healing energy to someone you love.
When you are traveling or beginning a journey.
When you are seeking greater abundance or a better outcome in your life.
Raphael's final message is beautifully simple:
“We want you to live a fruitful life.”
Healing is not only about the physical body. It can be the healing of the mind, the heart, the spirit, or a situation in our lives. Archangel Raphael reminds us to release what we are carrying, surrender what we cannot control, and allow ourselves to receive God's healing, peace, and love.
Call upon him. Breathe deeply. Visualize his emerald green light surrounding you.
And let yourself receive.
And so it is.
