Lie down (it is important that you lie down on your back with your arms at your sides for this exercise) somewhere where you will feel very comfortable and will not be disturbed. You can put on some soft soothing music and light a candle or two if you wish. Try to calm your mind from the day’s chatter and make your self feel completely relaxed. Keep a pen and piece of paper next to you and jot down any thoughts that may pop into your mind.

Once you feel that your mind is completely relaxed and any mind chatter has faded then take in up to 10 – 20 deep breaths. Draw these breaths into your upper chest and take note of your upper chests movement and your breathing pattern.

Say out loud or in your mind, “Archangel Raphael, I call upon you now. Please come to my side and send your healing light to me. Please help to heal and relax my entire body completely. Thank you”

Imagine that the Archangel Raphael is now standing by your feet. What do you think the Archangel Raphael looks like? Picture him as clearly as you can. Take special note of his kind and loving eyes, his facial features, mouth, hair, clothes, wings and how he looks.

Give Archangel Raphael permission to begin the healing and relaxation exercise. See Archangel Raphael’s had begin to glow with heavenly white light. Feel the warmth as he slowly and gently holds his hands just above your feet. He is not touching you but you can feel his touch and his warmth. Notice as that breath taking heavenly white light flows straight from Archangel Raphael’s hands and into your feet. Notice that your feet and toes are becoming more and more relaxed.

As the Archangel Raphael sends healing and relaxing light to your feet, say out loud or in your mind, “What message do you have for me feet?” Notice if you hear any words or see any pictures in your mind. You might hear the word bunion and know that your feet are asking you to get that bunion sorted out. Or you may hear the words, ‘take it easy’. You will know that your feet are telling you to take things more easily and not take on too much.

Once your feet feel completely healed and relaxed see the Archangel Raphael move to your ankles. See him place his hands just above your ankles and watch as heavenly white light fills with in your ankles. Notice how your ankles are becoming more and more relaxed.

As the Archangel Raphael sends healing and relaxing light to your ankles, say out loud or in your mind, “What message do you have for me ankles?” Notice if you hear any words or see any pictures in your mind.

Once your ankles feel completely healed and relaxed see the Archangel Raphael move to your ankles. See him place his hands just above your ankles and watch as heavenly white light fills with in your ankles. Notice how your ankles are becoming more and more relaxed.

Continue with this exercise until the Archangel Raphael has healed and relaxed your entire body. Once done thank the Archangel Raphael for his love, relaxation and healing. Once completed the meditation, record your thoughts, feelings, experiences and any messages that came to you in your psychic journal.

The next step in learning to channel our spirit guides is to learn to focus and concentrate. While performing readings for people it is so easy for our minds to wonder. When this happens we loose the connection and flow we had with our guides while performing the reading.

As soon as you loose this flow you will find that you hit a mental block and begin to struggle to finish off the reading. When we perform readings our guides are standing right by our sides sharing with us information for the reading. It is vital to keep that information flowing in strong. If your mind wonders then you loose the flow of information, and in return hit a road block in the reading.

This is why learning to focus on one thing at a time and strengthen our concentration, is vital in order for us to perform helpful and accurate readings. The 6 exercises below will help you to strengthen your concentration and focusing skills.
