Journeys with the Archangels: Why This Book Matters
Episode 100, Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
Episode 100 felt too important to simply look backwards.
Instead, I wanted to share the journey that brought me here and the deeper story behind my new book, Journeys with the Archangels: A Practical Guide.
This episode is about my personal relationship with the Archangels, the ways they have shown up throughout my life, and why I believe learning to work with them can help you strengthen your intuition, feel supported through difficult times and build a deeper relationship with your own spiritual guidance.
I also share why this book is not designed to sit untouched on a shelf. It is meant to be used, written in, highlighted, opened when you feel lost and returned to whenever you need guidance, healing, courage, protection or clarity.
The biggest message throughout this episode is simple. The Archangels can support you, but you have to ask, remain open to receiving, and still take responsibility for your own life and choices.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Episode 100 felt like the right moment to talk about Journeys with the Archangels
- Why Archangel Michael became such an important guide in my life
- Why Michael encouraged me to write this book
- Why the Archangels cannot override your free will
- The importance of asking for spiritual assistance
- How Archangels can support grief, healing, courage, relationships, communication, creativity and decision-making
- Why you do not always need to know an Archangel’s name before asking for help
- The 15 Archangels I chose to include and why personal experience mattered to me
- How Archangels can appear through warmth, movement, breeze, dreams, visions, colours and physical sensations
- My experiences with Archangel Michael, Ariel, Jeremiel, Haniel and others
- How Archangels can work together to support specific situations
- Why spiritual support does not remove your personal responsibility
- The importance of taking action after receiving guidance
- Why discomfort can sometimes be part of growth and transformation
- Working with Archangel Azrael during grief and transition
- Why Journeys with the Archangels is designed as a practical guide
- The invocations, meditations, visualisations and journaling prompts included in the book
- Why shadow journaling can help you understand what sits underneath the need for support
- How signs and synchronicities can be subtle rather than dramatic
- How dreams, repeated messages, songs, bodily sensations and intuitive knowing can become forms of spiritual communication
- Why building a relationship with an Archangel is similar to building any other relationship
- How the book can help strengthen your own intuition rather than make you dependent on outside guidance
- Why your relationship with the Archangels does not need to look like mine
- How I want readers to use the book in real life, especially during grief, fear, overwhelm or uncertainty
- Why the podcast and the book ultimately come from the same purpose
- How to use the book intuitively rather than feeling that you must read it from beginning to end
Highlights
One of the strongest themes in this episode is that the Archangels are there to support you, but they are not there to take over your life.
You still have free will, choice and personal responsibility.
You can ask for courage, healing, clarity, protection or guidance, but you still have to participate in the change you are asking for.
I also share how differently the Archangels can appear. Their presence is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is warmth, a breeze, a repeated message, a dream, a body sensation, a song or a quiet thought that seems to arrive at exactly the right moment.
The book itself was created to make these relationships practical. Each Archangel has ways to connect, including invocations, meditations, signs, synchronicities and shadow journaling prompts so you can explore what support you need and how that support may already be showing up around you.
Most importantly, I want you to build your own evidence and your own relationship with the Archangels. Your experience does not need to match mine.
