Healing the Body

Draw three concentric circles. The inner one should be purple, the middle yellow and the outer red. Add a circle for the head and lines for the legs, so you have drawn a representation of yourself.

Now, thinking of any health difficulties you have, with the black marker put a small mark on the drawn body to represent that pain. Keep your pen in contact with the paper and ask Raphael for help. You might say: "Raphael, Raphael, Angel of ease. Help me to understand this pain please"

You should find that your mark is closer to one circle than the other. Remembering that this method is not a self-diagnostic tool at all  it is simply designed to help you to come to terms with the pain or difficulty  note which colour this is:

• Red represents pain which is purely physical
• Yellow usually signifies an emotional cause
• Purple tends to have a more spiritual basis

Sit quietly and draw that colour into yourself  as though you were marking within your body where the pain is. Next mentally flood that part of your body with white light. For the next two days sit quietly and make the invocation to Raphael again.

Repeat the drawing in of colour and the flooding with white light. At the end of that time you should begin tohave an understanding of the causes of your pain and how your body is reacting to trauma.
