Hello friends!

You will definitely want to get to know Archangel Zadkiel. I haven’t spoken or written much about this Archangel, whose name means Righteousness of God, but it is time to rectify that.

Like the other Archangels, Angel Zadkiel specializes in an area or areas of expertise specifically to help humans. As such, he is the master of forgiveness and memory.

Have you heard the experts say we need to forgive others for their transgressions against us, for our own good? Apparently, no matter what minor or major things others may have done to wrong us, no matter who they are, or why they did whatever they did, we need to forgive them - truly forgive them - within our own hearts and minds.

Why? So we can stop holding on to all that negative anger and resentment. So we can release the heavy burden, finally healing within, and moving on with our lives, with our precious peace restored. Otherwise, that negativity and indignation cause constant stress within us that can make us bitter and lead to illness. It’s like a sore that scabs over, but then painfully cracks open, again and again, with no hope of repair or restoration.

Okay, forgiving others for our own good makes sense. But it’s easier said than done. When we’re itching for their punishment…for karma to wreak havoc on them, how do we suddenly turn the other cheek and truly forgive them? For most of us, it’s darn near impossible to achieve that goal.

That’s where Archangel Zadkiel comes in. He is the Angel of Forgiveness. He is just waiting for us to ask his assistance in forgiving others, as well as forgiving ourselves. Yes, he even helps us forgive ourselves for things we’ve done in the past, which can be harder on us, and do more inner damage, than we can imagine.

He helps us to better understand those kinds of painful experiences in a more logical manner, instead of strictly from an emotional, ego-driven point of view. And that improves our spiritual maturity and empowers and strengthens our ability to forgive, even if we never forget.

​​Images of Archangel Zadkiel often show him wielding his violet flame, which is a sacred fire as well as a powerful force for true enlightenment, healing, and forgiveness.

God, in his infinite wisdom and love, created the Archangels specifically to assist humans, and to be a bridge between Him and us. It’s what the Archangels live for. And these Divine Best Friends of ours absolutely can’t wait to help you in any given situation.

But it’s up to you to remember to ask for their help, which isn’t always easy, especially when you’re in the middle of a challenging situation. Yet that’s precisely the right time to call upon them.

In the heat of the moment, though, when you’re scared, worried, nervous, distracted, or ill, it’s easy to forget that the Archangels are right there, ready to calm, guide, protect, or heal you. This is especially true when you’re just beginning your relationship journey with the Archangels.

And when you do remember to call upon them, you may be so flustered, you forget which Archangel to call. You may wonder, “Is it Angel Michael who heals, or is that Angel Raphael? Is it Angel Uriel who lights up the darkness or is that Angel Raziel?”

Luckily, it isn’t necessary, especially during a crisis, to call upon the “correct” Archangel, to benefit from their expertise. You may simply call out and say, “Archangels, please help me!”

Trust me, they will know how to arrange for you to receive the help you need. 

​Recently, my daughter, Jill, experienced this very thing. A busy journalist, she was traveling for three weeks in Southeast Asia. One day, she took a six-hour motorcycle tour of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam, and really enjoyed the experience, learning a lot from her guide who drove the motorcycle.But toward the end of the tour, in the late afternoon, Jill began to feel ill. She became light-headed, nauseous, shaky, and weak. She had never passed out before, but she realized she was close to doing so.

She didn’t know if it was the high temperatures and humidity, the overwhelming smell of fuel exhaust, or dehydration that was causing her distress. But she knew she was in trouble.

She also knew that she had to hold on, somehow, with weak and sweat-slick hands, to the motorcycle’s grab-bar behind her for another fifteen to twenty minutes in order to meet up with the tour bus at the appointed time.
​
Thank heavens, all my nagging and reminding over the years, to call upon the Archangels if she was ever in trouble, paid off. She quietly called out, “Help me, please, Archangels. I’m not sure I have the strength to hang on and I’m scared I’ll faint or fall and be run over by other vehicles in this traffic. Please protect me.”

​As I explain in my book, “How To Chat With Archangels,” when we embrace a relationship with our Divine Best Friends, our lives are enhanced in so many incredible ways!

I want to thank all of you who have reached out to me from all over the world! And thank you, in advance, to others who will reach out with questions and messages regarding my free workshop, “How To Chat With Archangels.”

I am looking forward to growing our “How To Chat With Archangels” community and sharing more Archangel stories, information, and guidance with you.

One of the questions I recently received was:

“Hello Debra! I am finally starting to hear some messages from the Archangels during chat sessions. At first I didn’t hear anything at all, even after I did all the steps you explained in your book and workshop. Now, after 7 days of trying, I’m receiving some words and phrases that make sense. That is so exciting. But how do I hurry this process and hear them even more clearly?”

Here was my answer:

“Congratulations to you for embracing your relationship with the Archangels and opening up to communicating with them! That’s the first important step!

"Believe me, I understand how you’d like to hurry the process along and hear them more clearly. That would be awesome. But it’s not something that can be hurried. As hard as it is to accept, we must be patient with this process. Like everything in life, we must practice for as long as it takes in order to improve our new connections to Divine Beings.

"You are already making a lot of progress, even if it’s not evolving as quickly as you’d like it to. Continue your chat sessions as often as possible. Remember that if you’re not feeling well or if you’re distracted, your connection will not be as strong, and you should wait until you are feeling better and can focus."

Here’s an idea…take a walk with the Archangels!  

As I explain in Chapter 19 of my book, deepening our sacred relationship with the Archangels can be done in other ways outside of our journal chat sessions. One of my favorites is to call out to them and then picture them joining me for a stroll through our neighborhood or on a trail in a park. As I walk along in all types of weather, I imagine them walking next to me, surrounding me. I even visualize the color of their robes, the glow of their wings, and their loving faces.

I fill my heart with the golden light of love and as we walk, I speak with them as I would to my truest best friend, because that’s who they are. I tell them what’s on my mind, good or bad. I cry sometimes. I share my frustrations. I ask them questions. And then I observe what messages I may be receiving or impressions I’m getting. I keep my eyes open for signs of confirmation.

I always, always feel a sense of peace and calm during and after those walks. What an incredible way to deepen my precious connection with my Divine Best Friends. Try it and let me know how it went!”

I look so forward to hearing from you! Please reach out to me with your questions and comments!
