Invite Divine Guidance Into Your Everyday Life
Based on Episode 34 – Spiritual Awakening with Shaz Podcast
When you start your spiritual awakening journey, you want to invite divine guidance, and most people start with the archangels.. These powerful, high-frequency light beings are often called upon for protection, healing, guidance, and support.
This blog offers an overview of the 15 archangels commonly worked with on Earth. Each one has a unique energetic purpose and is associated with specific colours, animals, and crystals.
What Are Archangels?
Archangels are considered high-ranking spiritual messengers and protectors. While there are many archangels in existence, spiritual teachers like Doreen Virtue have popularised the 15 main archangels most commonly called on in daily spiritual practice.
Every human being is also believed to have a guardian angel who remains with them throughout their entire life. In contrast, archangels come and go depending on our needs and whether they are invited in.
Why Archangels Need to Be Invited
Unlike spirit guides or ancestors, angels cannot interfere with free will. They are beings of service, but assistance must be asked for. Whether you seek support in your health, emotional healing, relationships, work, or protection, the key is always to invite them in. A simple prayer or intention is enough.
How They’ve Helped Me Personally
Many years ago, a life-changing spiritual encounter occurred during a hospital stay. At the time, it was not recognised as divine intervention. However, through years of connection and validation, it became clear that Archangel Michael had stepped in to save my life.
Since then, angelic presence has become part of my everyday life – from calling in protection during travel, to asking for parking spots, or requesting calm in moments of chaos. When guidance or peace is needed, the archangels always show up – when asked. You too can have this access when you invite divine guidance from the Archangels.

How to Invite Divine Guidance and Call in the Archangels
To work with any of these beings, simply set an intention or speak a direct invocation. For example:
“Archangel Michael, please protect me today and clear any heavy energy around me.”
“Archangel Raphael, bring healing to my body and balance to my mind.”
“Archangel Raziel, help me uncover the truth and deepen my intuition.”
Use this general invocation to call the Archangels:
“Dear Archangels, I welcome your guidance. Please surround me in light and help me see, hear, and feel your presence in ways that serve my highest good.”
Final Thoughts
You will only feel the presence of the Archangels when you invite them. Asking for their help can shift energy, support clarity, and offer divine intervention in even the smallest aspects of daily life, such as parking spots, traffic, or calming an anxious mind.
Over time, individual episodes will explore each archangel in greater depth, with personal stories, invocations, and energy techniques to support your connection.
To support your own angel journey, I’m currently creating 15 personalised invocation cards, one for each archangel. These will soon be available on my website for $1 each or $15 for the full set.
