Meet the 7 Archangels: Guardians of Light, Healing AND GUIDANCE

Each time I teach a class on the Archangels I like to purchase a dozen roses as a way to express my gratitude for their unwavering presence of unconditional love. There was one time, when I went into a store to purchase the flowers (right before class) and decided not to buy them (the price was a little higher than expected). I thought to myself, I will go somewhere else. Then as I was leaving the store, the owner tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a dozen roses.

Archangels are chief messengers of God. They reside in the celestial realms making their presence known to those on earth through unexpected surprises, moments of awe, signs (e.g. rainbows) and messages. You can communicate with Archangels both verbally and telepathically (through your thoughts and intentions).
