Who is Archangel Raphael?
Archangel Raphael is the patron saint of healing the sick and ill, as well as an angel for all health care workers including doctors.
He is one of three angels sainted by the church, an important position for such a being! His name literally translates to “God’s medicine”, so you can only imagine how important he is.
Raphael is also the angel of travelers, matchmaking, and young people, an overall promoter of health, youth, and a happy lifestyle. He is known to appear as a pleasant, younger individual, often holding a staff as well as traveling clothes.
He is also known to hold a fish, as a very famous tale about Raphael involves him healing someone’s blindness by using a fish.
Healing is very important to Archangel Raphael, and that is why you may call upon him for help.
When it comes to healing, Archangel Raphael often relies on nature. He is an advocate for our environment and the natural world, green being the primary angel color associated with him.
He understands how healing nature can be, and may often be found out in nature, visiting the plants and animals.
Raphael is known as one of the kindest of angels, always willing to help and heal those of us in need. Are you seeking healing or comfort at this time? Archangel Raphael is listening, and ready to help should you call upon him.
How to Recognize Archangel Raphael
Are you reaching out to Archangel Raphael for guidance and support? Are you unsure if you can recognize the signs he might be sending you?
Here are some signs reported from those who have felt Raphael’s presence and communicated with him.
Sparks of Green Light
We have already discussed how Archangel Raphael is associated with nature and the natural world. It only makes sense that one of the most common signs of this guardian angel is seeing sparks of green light in your vision.
Seeing flashes of green or green light unexpectedly can be a sign that Archangel Raphael is near and listening. It may come as a surprise and could potentially frighten you, but there is no reason to be afraid.
In fact, you should feel the kindness and comforting presence of Archangel Raphael in conjunction with the green sparks.
If you find yourself communicating or praying to Archangel Raphael while out and about and you happen to notice many green lights on your journey, this is a clear sign he is listening.
For example, if you are driving and asking Archangel Raphael for advice and the stoplights keep turning green, he is there supporting you!
Feeling Warmth, Tingles, or Chills
Another clear sign of an angelic presence is feeling physical sensations such as warmth, tingles, or even chills. While these sensations may happen to you often or seem common place if they occur while you are thinking about Archangel Raphael they may be a sign of his presence.
Often, our guardian angels exert a presence that can overwhelm us physically. It is not something to fear or be concerned about; it is merely another sign and notion of someone watching over you!
Archangel Raphael has a kind and warm presence, but even such a welcoming angel has enough power to overwhelm most other beings.
A Premonition or Dream Occurs
Are you hoping to reach out to Archangel Raphael with a specific question or concern? Are you struggling with your health or the health of those around you?
Our dreams are often an easy gateway or portal for our angels to reach out and connect with us. If you find yourself dreaming more lucidly or specifically than you usually do, this may be a sign that Archangel Raphael is listening to your concerns.
Everyone dreams differently, and some messages are clearer than others, but more often than not you will find the answers you seek through the dreams brought to you by your angels.
Hopefully, Archangel Raphael makes his presence known to you in a fairly obvious way. What he might tell you in the dream or show you may be a premonition of what is to come.

Connecting to Nature
As we’ve already discussed, taking a meditative walk through nature may be one of the best ways to truly connect with Archangel Raphael.
Many mindfulness practices suggest meditation, and sometimes there’s no better way to meditate than through the peace and quiet found out in nature.

Archangel Raphael loves the natural world and all of its inhabitants. You may find a connection with him more readily while you are feeling connected to some of his favorite things!
Meditation and Yoga
Meditation can happen while you are walking, but it can also happen in your own home. If you have any immediate need or important question to ask Archangel Raphael, meditation may prove the most effective for you.
Deep meditation can be achieved in many different ways. Yoga is often performed in conjunction with meditation, as well as many other more physical activities.
This is an even greater use of your meditation time. Archangel Raphael promotes your health and well-being, so performing yoga or other physical activities allows for even more of a connection with him.
Concentrate on what it is that troubles you while you meditate. Think of Archangel Raphael and call out to him using your intuition and subconscious. Should your mind feel open and relaxed, you may more readily hear a message from your angels!
Create Healthy Habits
Archangel Raphael is always gentle and encouraging. He vouches for your health and well-being, so an easy way to return the favor and invite his presence into your life is to create healthy habits!
Establishing healthier routines might include more physical activity, wellness education or participation, or perhaps changing your diet and other habits. Making a conscious change to your healthy routine and habits will no doubt attract attention from your angels.
It could be something as simple as giving up dairy or something as grand as beginning a new outdoor hobby, but no matter what change you choose to make, big or small, Archangel Raphael will take notice!
He is always watching over our health, as it is his first priority. Perhaps there are changes to be made in your own life that you haven’t yet considered!

A few years ago bad dreams! very bad, evil dreams scared the s out of me! I was petrified! I looked up Saints for help. Decided to talk and pray to Saint Raphael. Later that night, after returning from work a green light was on coming from my child’s headband flashlight. I never even knew that there was a green light setting! I am still amazed and grateful that Saint Raphael the Archangel heard me and
No more nightmares!

I went for my first tattoo few days back and I was very nervous hence while I was otw, I reached out to Archangel Raphael, praying that the pain would be bearable for me. Otw there, I saw angel numbers like 555, 1133, 33 etc and before the tattoo artist started, I closed my eyes and wanted to pray for the last time again. The minute I closed my eyes, I saw green and white lights. I know he heard my prayers and was there with me. True enough the whole process was smooth and the pain was really bearable!

Numerology is actually a sign from the Devil. Becareful with that Angel numbers aren’t real. The way to Heal from Raphael is to Imaging the green on what ever is giving you trouble. If you ever want holy inspirations then read your word. Even seeing green lights could be the spiritual realm tricking you. If you want some advice when you see numbers then don’t do what you think they are telling you to do. Satan is a manipulater and knows exactly how you think.
