Archangel Raphael is known as the angel in charge of physical healing, the patron saint of travelers, and the angel of happy meetings.

Archangels are spiritual light beings that oversee the angels in general. Working with angels and archangels to guide your path, support your endeavors, protect you and your loved ones, and heal your life can be as simple as calling upon them and asking for help.

Review the following ways Archangel Raphael can be utilized as a spiritual support system.

Healing the Body

Archangel Raphael is heaven's physician. His name means "Whom God Heals," and he is readily willing to take your worries, fears, and concerns about your physical body and transmute them into love, health, and positive energy.

You can ask Raphael to surround your body in general or a specific area with his loving, emerald green energy to promote wellness and heal imbalances. Archangel Raphael also works with healing professionals to assist them in their careers and life purposes.

Healthful Eating and Habits

Adapting a healthy lifestyle is sometimes challenging. You may know what's good for you, even to the point of receiving divine guidance about unhealthy habits, but you may not feel you have the inner strength or willpower to change.

Call upon Archangel Raphael to cut your cravings and boost your internal power to regain control of your eating habits, energy level, weight, and overall mood.

Deep Breathing

Learning breathing techniques can enhance your sense of well-being and decrease stress. When you are overwhelmed, you may take shallow breaths or even hold your breath. It is during those times when deep breathing exercises can help you re-focus, breathe peace into the situation, and release old patterns or negative energy that no longer serve your purpose. If you feel tense, go outdoors for some fresh air, and ask Raphael to help center your breath and oxygenate your mind, body, heart, and soul.

Safe Travel

In Saint Catholicism, Raphael is the patron saint of travelers. It is written that the archangel guided the young Tobias on a long journey and helped him return home safely to cure his father's blindness.

Ask St. Raphael the Archangel to guide and protect you during trips and to send joy and healing to all aspects of planning, traveling, and returning.

Matchmaking

Among Catholics, Raphael is also considered the patron saint of matchmakers and can be petitioned by those who need such services. In the Old Testament, Archangel Raphael guided Tobias in choosing a virtuous wife and can be invoked to influence happy meetings, especially with respect to finding the perfect marital partner.

Raphael is a powerful archangel that works to heal the challenges that life presents. Ask Archangel Raphael to help balance your body, establish healthy habits, release any worries through breathwork, protect you in your travels, and arrange happy encounters.
