Archangel Michael does not suffer fools. Archangel Michael goes straight for the jugular. Archangel Michael will hold you to task. Archangel Michael will tell you to "Snap out of it". Don't be fooled by the above image, depicting a delicate Daniel Stevens-type of Michael. Michael will take your hand, hold it firmly, and squeeze it a bit until you cry "uncle!". Don't worry, it won't hurt you, it will wake you and push you into the light.
We're riding along on New Moon energy right now, the moon waxing and building, so it's a perfect time to build on what you wish to manifest, to grow things, to work on the projects you wish to create and embellish. You build during this time, rather than remove or banish. So imagine my surprise when, during a walk today (in nature, my church), I began praying to God and received what I only can describe as an angelic intervention.
While walking, I felt a swirling energy all around me, streaming up from my feet, through my torso, to above my head. And it whirled and vibrated and energized me to the point of tears. Tears of gratitude. Because this winter season has been tough on me emotionally. I'm very done with the greater Chicagoland area, for many reasons, but especially during the colder months. I hibernate. I withdraw. Hibernating can be restorative, unless it's more "hidebernating". And that's what I'd been doing: holing up under a blanket, in hiding for much of the last 5 months. Which has been interesting, since I'm currently in a play, have been rather active (because of other people, not by my own volition).
Then my mind's ear heard that it was Michael interceding. Michael, not even allowing my usual chat with my guardian angel and spirit guides, but taking a firm stand. Michael letting me know I'm on notice until I shake out of the gloom. Michael letting me know that the work I need to do right now is too important to escape from. Michael encouraging me, like a stern-but-loving parent, to use the New Moon energy to start building and growing again.
The details are too personal to share here, but I will say I was given a mantra to repeat every day. I was given tasks to accomplish. I was given three things to work on, to nourish, to reconnect with. Like the beautiful little flower babies pushing through the dank bed of dead leaves and detritus, it was my time to be reborn. No excuses, no "almosts", but full-out energy, movement, and drive.
And, unlike my usual connections with archangels, he has not left to do other work. He is still present. He won't let go of this connection because he deems it to vital right now. So, my usual conversation with the angels of "stay if you will, go if you must" has been overridden. I am to breathe with this. I am to learn from this. I am to work with this. I have been given absolutely no alternative or choice.
And I am to share this on my blog. Today. Right now.
My request to you: whether you connect with Michael right now or not, find three things you can grow, you can nourish, you can bring to light. Work with them every day, especially during this waxing moon energy, which culminates in a Full Moon on April 10th.
See what wants to push up through the leaves.
