Archangel Remiel & Argonite

Rest

We bring you the gift of rest. We ask you to reflect on what you truly need. Do you need a break for an hour or so now to relax and recharge? Or do you need to change your lifestyle to more regularly include rest so you sustain your vitality, sense of wellbeing and creative energy? Do you need rest that is active, that helps you switch off your mind and come out of your head into your body? Do you need rest that is physically still, to deeply replenish your energy reserves at a deeper cellular level? Do you need mental rest, to let go of worry and stress? Or emotional rest, to let you off an emotional rollercoaster and into some simple acceptance and happiness for a time? Rest can happen in different ways and on different levels. We bring the gift of all types of rest and ask that you choose that which will feel best for you at this time.

Being productive and getting results requires work. If you want to manifest big dreams or radical transformation, then that is probably going to require lots and lots of work! Without adequate rest along the way, you will compromise your ability to go the distance, endure transformation and continue to be a loving light on our planet for a long, long time.

Modern culture is often afraid of surrender and finds it difficult to respect and trust in the wisdom of nature (which includes cycles of activity followed by cycles of rest, repeated over and over again with wondrous results). This fear can create suspicion and judgment about rest, turning it into something we consider a sign of weakness rather than wisdom, of laziness rather than intelligence, of lack of productivity rather than a way to regenerate our creative energies.

However, if you want to create and manifest big beautiful divine dreams in this world, and continue to do so for the rest of your long, loving life, then you will need to claim your right to rest. Make it sacred. Make it part of how you show your love for the body that has given to your spirit to use as it chooses this lifetime. Then your rest will be reverence. It will be pleasurable. It will feel meaningful and easier to practice. In that case, the regeneration, healing and inspiration it can offer you shall increase substantially. You’ll get more return on the investment of your time in restful reverie.

How you rest, what kinds of activities, or lack thereof, and which will best replenish you, will vary. It will vary from person to person. It will vary for one person from day to day, hour to hour. Some days you might need much physical activity to discharge an excess of mental energy and help you clear your mind and feel refreshed. On another day, that same level of activity might exhaust your body and compromise your immune system! Instead of feeling energized, you’ll feel as though you are pushing yourself too hard. It is better then to step back and try something different. On yet other days, whilst lying down for a nap worked once before to restore your energy, you will feel the need of social connections with others to restore you to balance.

Experimenting with what works to bring you rest and replenishment is part of your path of self-love and personal development. To take the time to learn how you rest best will bring you better health and wellbeing, whilst also triggering personal development and spiritual growth. You may wonder how this is possible, but to learn how to rest well is an art. It requires that you learn to listen to your body so you can feel when something is working or when you need to change your approach. This in turn develops your intuition and connection between body and mind. It requires that you develop compassion and patience, two advanced spiritual qualities, so that rather than getting frustrated or angry with yourself when you need to rest, you have the strength instead to choose to be kind and respect yourself enough to learn how to meet your needs.

If you are a particularly creative or sensitive person, your needs for rest may be many and varied. Trust that this is not weakness. When one is blessed with the gifts of creativity and sensitivity, one also needs to take responsibility for them. No matter how difficult it may be to know how to rest, or to just give yourself unconditional permission to rest when needed, know that, like any skill, it becomes easier with practice. The gift of rest from the Crystal Angel of Aragonite and Archangel Remiel will help you find how you can best rest.

Healing Process

To integrate this guidance, you may like to say this invocation now:

I call upon the Crystal Angel of Aragonite and Archangel Remiel who love me unconditionally. Thank you for the divine healing gift of rest now. I choose to see, know and feel that rest is a way to serve love, to honor the gift of my body and mind, and to express love for myself and respect for the loving creative intelligence of the divine feminine that moves in cycles of creation and rest, again and again. I give myself permission to rest, and this is a mature, wise and loving decision that is easy for me to act upon now. Through my own free will, so be it.

If you wish to further integrate this guidance, hold the oracle card with the mandala image facing towards you and resting at your sacral chakra (at your lower belly, beneath your belly button). Rest and breathe in and out several times.

Then say aloud:

I choose of my own free will, through this and any lifetime, and through all layers of my entire being, to release any fear, resistance, guilt or shame about my need to rest. I now choose of my own free will to give myself permission to rest. This is a way I choose to honor life and receive the energy I need to manifest my full divine potential as a radiant being of love upon this Earth. Through divine grace and unconditional love, so be it.

Hold the oracle card flat between your palms so you can place your hands in prayer position with the oracle card between them.

Bow your head and say:

May divine love bring satisfying rest to all, so that every being can manifest their divine potential and be happy and free. According to divine compassion, so be it.

You can finish your healing process with this affirmation, say aloud three times:

I love myself and I rest my body and mind to increase my energy, peace and productivity. I lovingly receive the gift of rest.
