Connecting With the Archangels: Just Ask, Trust & Be Open
Sep 24, 2026
The Archangels are a big part of my everyday life. I talk to them, ask for their help, thank them, and trust they are there to guide and support me.
One of the biggest things I have learned over the years is that connecting with the Archangels can be simple.
You can begin exactly where you are.
Ask for help, be open to receiving guidance, and trust that the right Archangel will step forward for your greater good.
How I Connect With the Archangels Every Day
Working with the Archangels is part of my daily routine.
Every morning, I work with Archangel Michael and Archangel Metatron for energy clearing and shielding. I ask them to clear away any energy that is ready to be released and surround me with protection as I move through my day.
Because I work with people, energy, readings, and the Divine, clearing and shielding is very important to me. It helps me stay connected to my own energy while allowing me to be present for the people I work with.
For me, this process is simple.
I ask.
I trust.
I allow.
And then I move forward with my day.
Asking Archangel Raphael for Healing
I also work closely with Archangel Raphael for healing.
One area where I personally ask Raphael for extra support is with my teeth and dental work. Experiences from my childhood created worry around losing my teeth, so this is an area where I consciously ask Raphael to come forward.
When that worry starts to appear, I can acknowledge it and then shift my focus toward healing, support, and trust.
I ask Archangel Raphael to surround me with his healing energy and help me through whatever I am experiencing.
I also believe in taking inspired action. I can ask the Archangels for support while also taking the practical steps needed to care for myself.
For me, the two work together.
Which Archangel Should You Ask for Help?
People often ask me which Archangel they should work with.
There are Archangels I connect with for different reasons.
Archangel Michael is someone I call upon for protection and shielding.
Archangel Raphael assists with healing.
Archangel Metatron helps me with energy clearing and balancing.
Archangel Ariel helps us connect with animals, nature, Mother Earth, and Auric Spirit.
Archangel Gabriel can help with communication and Divine messages.
Archangel Azrael can bring comfort and support around grief, transition, and connecting with loved ones who have crossed over.
Learning about the different Archangels can be helpful, especially when you are beginning your own journey.
At the same time, you can keep it very simple.
If you are unsure which Archangel to call upon, ask the Archangels as a whole.
You could say:
“Archangels, I am asking for your help with this situation. Please bring forward the Archangel I need for my greater good.”
Then allow the connection to unfold.
How Do the Archangels Send Us Signs?
I love talking about signs from the Archangels because they can come through in so many different ways.
Sometimes a sign is very subtle.
You may see an animal at exactly the right moment.
You may hear a song or a particular phrase.
You may repeatedly see a number, colour, feather, or symbol.
You may feel something within your body.
Or you may simply know.
Animals can also be beautiful messengers. I have experienced deer appearing at meaningful times, and those experiences remind me to pay attention to what is happening around me.
When something catches your attention, take a moment and ask yourself:
What was I just thinking about?
What was I asking for?
What did I feel when I saw this?
Your first thought or feeling can often give you insight into what that sign means specifically for you.
Your Signs Can Be Personal to You
Something I teach often is that your connection with the Divine is your connection.
The way I receive guidance may be completely different from the way you receive it.
One person may see.
Another person may hear.
Someone else may feel.
And another person may simply know.
Claircognizance, that sense of simply knowing something, is a very strong part of how I personally receive information.
As you begin paying attention to your own intuitive senses, you may start recognizing patterns in the way Divine guidance comes through for you.
That is part of learning to trust your intuition.
Trusting Divine Guidance When Plans Change
Sometimes we ask for something and already have an idea of how we think the answer should look.
Then life takes us in a completely different direction.
A plan changes.
An opportunity disappears.
Something gets delayed.
A different door opens.
In the moment, we may wonder why things are happening this way.
This is where trusting Divine guidance becomes so important for me.
I have learned that I can ask the Archangels for help and then give them room to help me in ways I may never have considered.
Something that initially feels disappointing may actually be redirecting me.
A delay may be protecting me.
A change may be moving me toward something better.
Sometimes we only understand the reason after we have moved through the experience.
That is where trust comes in.
Ask and Then Allow
When I ask the Archangels for guidance, I try to stay open to how the answer arrives.
Instead of deciding exactly what needs to happen, I can say:
“Please help me with this situation for my greater good.”
Then I pay attention.
What changes?
What suddenly feels different?
What opportunities appear?
What am I intuitively being guided toward?
The answer may arrive differently than I imagined, yet it can still be exactly the guidance I needed.
Gratitude Is a Big Part of My Archangel Connection
Gratitude is very important to me when working with the Archangels.
It is easy to remember to ask when we need something.
“Michael, please protect me.”
“Raphael, please help me with healing.”
“Archangels, please guide me.”
I also make a point of saying thank you.
Thank you for your protection.
Thank you for your guidance.
Thank you for your healing.
Thank you for the signs.
Thank you for helping me move in the direction that is for my greater good.
Sometimes I even find myself saying thank you for an experience before I fully understand why it happened.
That is part of trust for me.
Creating Your Own Connection With the Archangels
If you are learning how to connect with Archangels, give yourself permission to keep it simple.
Start with a conversation.
Ask for help.
Pay attention to what happens around you.
Notice what you feel.
Trust your intuition.
Say thank you.
Your connection can grow naturally over time.
There is so much freedom in realizing that your relationship with the Archangels can be personal. You can learn from others while also discovering how the Divine communicates specifically with you.
The more you pay attention, the easier it can become to recognize those little nudges, feelings, signs, and moments of knowing.
And if you ever find yourself wondering which Archangel you should call upon, remember one of my favorite ways to approach it:
Just ask.
Ask for the help you need, trust that the right Archangel can step forward, and stay open to where the Divine guides you.
