Make Others Smile

 (For website url: http://www.doyoureckon.wordpress.com)

In routine life, I wake up in the morning with certain thoughts in my mind… wait, wait, wait, it is just so boring to go through same old lines which we read in many books often. How about starting it with last evening or night and then reach towards the morning scene, huh! Sounds good!? Ok, rewind, rewind, rewind, last night I was with my friends/relatives/office meeting/day out/out of town/at home, it can be anything. I reached home and got freshen up, was ready for the lovely bed (not all have that lovely bed, but it’s a bed for sure), had a glass of water and switched off the lights, while thinking about so many things, I went off to sleep. Next morning, I wake up (while reading ahead, you should not expect anything…) with a lovely smile and hope which I guess was not there yesterday till I went off to sleep. I started my routines and ready to go to work/school/site seeing… etc… etc…, now here comes the interesting part, I started my routines and ready to go out and what I saw is – “It is all same, nothing new”. It is the moment when you really wanted to feel and think – “Every day is exactly the same”, am I right? Yes, I am. – It’s not just about me, it can also be your story.

Here I would like to drag your attention towards this beautiful song with very realistic lyrics presented by a band “Nine Inch Nails” and the song name is … yes you are right, it’s “Every day is exactly the same”. For Hollywood movie lovers while listening to this song might feel like where I have heard this song? Well, it was used as a movie soundtrack in the movie called – “Wanted”. Still confused? It was used for the hero of the movie who is very frustrated with his life, no money, ugly stupid annoying lady boss always finds him guilty and lazy and always shouts on him, as shown in the movie, next day again when the hero goes to ATM (Any Time Money) machine he finds his account empty and gets upset and start moving towards the office. If you still can’t recall, I will suggest you to watch the movie.

Here is the video, try to listen and feel each and every word of the song and am sure you will feel like – “Oh no! Some way or the other, even I sometimes behave like the character in the song”. If I am not wrong, the counter might reach to around 60-70% of people who have adopted such life styles.

Alright! Alright! I know my readers; stop reading further if you have not watched the video, go for it before you continue.

Really sorry for that video, I never ever wanted such video on here but it was necessary to show you the mirror. So anyways, how was it? Shocked, shivered or at least felt odd, do not worry.

Have you ever thought of spreading happiness to people around you, even strangers and I am sure your answer will – “Yes, I did this, I do that, I always take care” but I think you are not doing it satisfactorily as it is next to impossible if you are not under pressure to do that to stay connected with those people. Think about strangers you come across every day, can you do the same thing for them, do you really care for the person walking next to you on the street, no need to reply as you know the answers. How about putting a smile on those people you never know, you never met. In the previous post named – “Blessing Power”, I have mentioned – Almost people of all cultures believe that – “As you SOW so shall you REAP: Life is like a boomerang. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later much more than we sow”, it applies here also. You make someone smile and one day you will have hundreds of people to make you smile.

What I am trying to say is, if you will try to help others in any form, you will receive the same many many times. I have planned something for all of us, every week I will give you a new idea to make others happy, we will follow that idea whole week. I would like to receive your comments, your feelings and your experiences while practicing the idea so that every week readers will have fun and have interesting things to learn and follow the new idea for the next week.

This is really interesting and fun, once you start doing it, it will be like… “My goodness, it’s awesome, I never felt such happiness before”, so I think you ready to feel the divine happiness and peace, right? Ok let’s go for it.

Archangel Gabriel

ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

A very gentle smile to the readers. It might be boring line to read -“Today we are going to know something very interesting” because we always know interesting things over here. Anyways, mmmm… let me ask you a question – “How do you react a knock! knock! sound on your door? silly question for normal, common people but for the one who feel, notice and want to enjoy each moment, this question is full of excitement with varied facial expressions depending upon the moments one is waiting for. I said varied expressions because sometimes you are waiting for some guest, expected people, sometimes it is about unexpected, unwanted and sometimes it can be a delivery man with your favorite (yummy!!) food.

In our lifetime, we often go through certain situations where we say – “Oh, I wish there is someone to help me out with this situation”, “Someone please ask that person to answer my call”, “Someone please forward my message to that particular person”, etc. I am sure, at least once in your lifetime you have noticed that you were waiting for certain news, expecting someone, waiting for someone to answer your call or any other way you are using to communicate and out-of-blue your wished is ful-filled!!? And the expression on your face – “Yes! I just felt so good!”

Well, our beloved god is just super intelligent, super care taker (I guess no need to elaborate his qualities, we all know that) did a great job for his children by creating another Archangel known as (any guesses!?), yes you are right, “Archangel Gabriel“.

The name means “Hero of God“, “God is my strength“. Many of the beliefs says that Archangel Gabriel radiates feminine energy and later on it is declared that Archangel Gabriel is in male form. In my “Archangel” post I have already mentioned that – “Here, we are just going to learn about the known facts without falling into any messy debates or arguments.” (if I forget to mention this line in any of my upcoming posts, please forgive me and avoid any arguments), so we are going to describe this Archangel as a masculine identity.

Archangel Gabriel, who typically serves as a messenger to humans from God, also known as Angel of Revelation and Spirit of Truth, the exalted Messenger of God. It is also said that Gabriel announced the births of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. He has a copper halo that matches the trumpet he often carries. Many times when comes to us, he might be holding a lily or be wearing a robe of light covered with a fleur-de-lis (Plants with sword-shaped leaves and erect stalks bearing bright-colored flowers composed of three petals and three drooping sepals) design. Archangel Gabriel and his legion of angels always help people whose life purpose includes communication, teaching, writing, acting, photography, speaker role, stamp collector, etc. He is ready to help you for any of your career problems or situations where you have stuck yourself, you can call upon him to stay with you when you are going for any kind of interview or wanted to discuss about your promotion. He also helps with conception and childbirth, problems conceiving and maintaining pregnancy, you can ask for Archangel Gabriel’s intervention. You won’t believe he can literally “breathe new life” into stale (like spoiled or messy) relationships and business and he will help you have new creative ideas and opportunities to get you moving smoothly.

Archangel Gabriel will bring joy and grace, clarity, he will open you upto sympathy, understanding and purify any negative emotions and beliefs. He will teach you to take the time to appreciate all the good and bad moments in our daily routines. Find your purpose of life with his help. He can make you go brighter for every important communications you make, develop your intuition. He serves as the announcer and harbinger of all good news and helpful information. With his super power he will give you all the news of upcoming events, changes and opportunities in your life. Archangel Gabriel is also said to be the in charge of dreams and prophecy (Knowledge of the future, usually said to be obtained from a divine source) and he can make you understand your puzzled dream. You can work with him to develop your psychic powers. Archangel Gabriel is also the bringer of resurrection and the knowledge that nothing ever dies but simply changes to a different form and is born anew in other realms of existence, he has been known to bring messages of good cheer and hope as well as words and dreams of warnings. Think carefully about what you are say to others and what they are saying to you. Do these words serve you or hinder you in your life? Are they positive and uplifting or do they focus on negativity and lack? Like all the Angels, Gabriel will never judge you for anything you think or say! Yet he will urge you to focus on those things that bring you a sense of joy, peace and gratitude for the great mystery that is all of life.

According to Muslim religion and beliefs, Gabriel dictated the Koran to Mohammed over a period of 23 years and also accompanied the Prophet on his Night Journey.

Alright! Alright! I am coming to your favorite part – “Know his presence”.

Car horns you hear with increasing frequency – be alert for the good news coming your way which is very important if you act upon it.

“Increasing E-mail list”, e-mail with very similar content in all of them, e.g. regular e-mail about getting paid, promotions or sometimes even about poor health. Anything and everything comes to you as a message is from Archangel Gabriel and the Universe!

Starting of certain thoughts popping into your mind that can surprise or even shock you, ask for further validation and simply watch to see what comes. Try to notice what others say to you that fits with what you have been thinking about. When you ask Gabriel for confirmation that what you have been pondering is true he always acts swiftly so heads up!

You may feel more inclined to spend time in meditation or reading inspirational books. Gabriel is encouraging you to do so for he knows how important it really is to fill our minds with positive words for they shall spill out into every aspect of your life.

Archangel Gabriel loves affirmations for they inspire us, fill our minds and hearts with hope for a more positive present and future, and support us manifesting the most wonderful life we can think of! You may choose to read a few pages of an inspirational book or similar content from other medias each day, one of my favourite things to do. It is amazing, how one’s life can change for the better when we focus on the good that life has to offer! (JUST LIKE THAT!!)

You can also write down a single question that is most pressing for you at this time. At the end of each day, reflect back at all that happened. Was there anything that sticks out as a possible answer? Chances are you will begin to note a thread that runs through your day, this is Gabriel’s way of giving you your answer!

Women hoping for heavenly assistance in trying to conceive children have reported benefits from keeping an Angel Gabriel novena candle burning in the home. (Lighting-up a candle is always a harmless thing to do, I have not tested this so cannot talk about its effects. If I found it ok, I will update the conclusions here)

It is my hope that the following prayer to the Archangel Gabriel will be of use to all, and will find service among those who request the intercession of this great and powerful heavenly being.

PRAYER TO ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Alleged to Help in Communication and Conception

Beloved Gabriel,
Glorious Messenger of the Court of Heaven
and most excellent Saint and Archangel,
first minister of God,
interpreter for Daniel the Prophet,
instructor of Zachary the Priest,
enunciator to our Holy Mother Mary,
bringer of the word of truth:

Please favor my devotions and
help me to love and serve you,
and, through you,
to love and serve the Lord.
O Gabriel Archangel,
grant me what I most earnestly desire
and humbly ask for with this prayer,
for the honor, glory, and fulfillment
of my soul.
Amen.

When a divine spirit grants your wish, it is customary, to give an offering of some kind in return. Because Archangel Gabriel, the Messenger of God, is generally depicted with white lilies or a trumpet horn, it is considered appropriate to make an offering of white flowers or to play music before the altar a thank-offering.

Prayer for those who are going for any kind of interviews or going to work in any fields: (short & capacity prayer given below.

Beloved Gabriel, please come to me now and help me express myself in the best light. Thank you!

Archangel Raphael

 (For website url: http://www.doyoureckon.wordpress.com)

Archangel Raphael

Hello readers, how are you, today? have you smiled a lot, today? today, is it your best day ever? and the answers to all such questions, I believe you know it. Everyday, we try to work hard to work, to earn huge amount of money and we all believe that at the end of the day if we have money we have everything, I will ask you to raise your finger if you get agree on it whole-heartedly. Modern lifestyle we live today is sometimes very dangerous as our looks and food habits are getting worst day by day, all the lovely, tasty, delicious, YUMMY! food is very less nutrient now a days, so the effet of all such things on us will be ‘illness’ in all possible ways. Almighty god created everything in the universe including the ‘super-brains’ on earth called human beings and for sure the god was knowing about the things we are doing today regularly, in order to overcome those illness and other similar problems, the god gifted us his another best man on job – “Archangel Raphael“, “It is God who heals“, “God Heals“, “God, Please Heal“, “Doctor of Medicine“.

Here is the interesting thing when we talk about Archangel Raphael, unlike other archangels, this archangel isn’t shy or subtle in announcing his presence, he always wants you to know that he is there with you. The supreme healer in the angelic realm and chief role is to support, heal, and guide in matters involving health. His color is emerald green. When people ask God to send Archangel Raphael to heal them, they might see bright green lights with their naked eyes (as I have mentioned in my archangel michael post – do not worry if you cannot see anything, just try to feel the energy). You can also visualize emerald green light around the person or bodily area in need of healing as a way of invoking Archangel Raphael’s presence and healing energy. Some people see Raphael’s emerald green light as sparkles, flashes, or waterfalls of color. He knows that by his glowing green light, you will start feeling relaxation and will feel much better. Raphael also shows a brilliant sense of humor in his displays of help. He always have different unique style to show his presence and I am sure that once you know a bit of his certain styles to reveal his presence you will really start believing your intuitions.

Let us see some of his unique styles through which he tries to make you fell his presence:

• License plates (one of his favorite sign)
• Sign board – with his name, angel, archangel and other similar ones
• Hot ‘n’ Cold feeling
• Vibrating effect
• Finding books or certain literatures in your home / shopping bag, you never bought
• Song on radio comes on the chart as soon as you are thinking of getting help from archangel raphael which can help to get relaxed

Archangel Raphael frequently answers prayers by whispering suggestions that you hear as thoughts, feelings, dreams, and visions. When you get a strong hunch to take positive action, know that this is an answered prayer. Follow your hunches and they’ll lead you to renewed peace.

Parishes(a local church community):
Saint Raphael’s Cathedral, Madison, Wisconsin, a Catholic parish in Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Saint Raphael Catholic Church in Koloa, a Catholic parish in Hawaii, USA
St. Raphael’s Cathedral (Dubuque, Iowa), a Catholic parish in Iowa, USA
St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church, a Catholic church and school in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

You can do prayer for different purposes:

Prayer for Healing

Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.

I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the “medicine of God” I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (here mention your special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

God, with great wisdom You direct the ministry of Angels and men. Grant that those who always minister to You in heaven may defend us during our life on earth. Amen.

————————————–

Prayer Before a Trip

Dear St. Raphael, your lovely name means “God heals.” The Lord sent you to young Tobias to guide him throughout a long journey. Upon his return you taught him how to cure his father’s blindness. How natural, therefore, for Christians to pray for your powerful help for safe travel and a happy return. This is what we ask for ourselves as well as for all who are far from home. Amen.

————————————–

Prayer to St. Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings

O Raphael, lead us towards those we are waiting for, those who are
waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand
towards those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their
movements, be guided by your Light and transfigured by your joy.

Angel guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet
of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and
tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need
of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so
that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of
the concerns of our country.

Remember the weak, you who are strong–you whose home lies beyond the
region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene, and
bright with the resplendent glory of God.
Amen.

————————————–

Prayer to St. Raphael: Patron of Travelers & Bearers of the Good News

St. Raphael, archangel, you protected young Tobiah as he journeyed to a distant land. Protect all travelers and most especially those who go about near and far preaching the Gospel. Guide and inspire modern apostles who use the communications media to bring the Good News of Christ to many souls. You also brought healing and joy to all you met. Help those who bring the Word of God to souls, that they may be as instruments in God’s Hands to draw many to lives of Christian holiness. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

————————————–

For the Choice of a Good Spouse

St. Raphael, you were sent by God to guide young Tobiah in choosing a good and virtuous spouse. Please help me in this important choice which will affect my whole future. You not only directed Tobiah in finding a wife, but you also gave him guidelines which should be foremost in every Christian marriage: “Pray together before making important decisions.” If through prayer we keep God as the “third Partner” in our marriage, we will have the strength and grace we need to always accept and do His will. Amen.

————————————–

You can dedicate this prayer for any of your known people for their happiness, wellness and to heal them. You can ask for help on their behalf and you will surely get positive results.

May god bless you all for all your good wishes! Amen!

Archangel Michael

 (For website url: http://www.doyoureckon.wordpress.com)

Archangel Michael

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

The very first creation of the god is Archangel Michael, he is said to be the leader of all other archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth and integrity and he also protects us physically, emotionally and psychically. His major task is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the fear.  His weapon, a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative entities.  When he’s around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light, do not worry if you can’t see anything because only highly clairvoyant (perceiving things beyond the natural range of the senses, foreseeing the future and the very comman meaning is to see energy fields which cannot be seen with our naked eyes) people can see it.  You can always call on Archangel Michael if you find yourself under psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and dedication to your beliefs, courage, direction, energy, vitality, self-esteem, worthiness. He always helps us to realize our life’s purpose and he’s invaluable to light workers helping with protection, space clearing and spirit releasement.

Well, there are many different beliefs in varied cultures but he is referred to as the greatest of all angels in writings throughout the world, including Jewish, Christian and Islamic.

Major shrines (A place of worship hallowed by association with some sacred thing or person):

• St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral, in Brussels, Belgium
• St. Michael’s Cathedral (Toronto), Canada
• St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery in Kiev (Ukraine)
• St. Michael’s Cathedral (Izhevsk), Russia
• St. Michael’s Cathedral, Qingdao, China
• St. Michael’s Mount, Cornwall, UK
• St. Michael’s Basilica, Miramichi, Canada
• St. Michael’s Cathedral, Coventry, UK

• Chudov Monastery in the Moscow Kremlin
• Archangel Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin – a World Heritage Site
• Monte Sant’Angelo sul Gargano, Gargano, Italy
• Skellig Michael, off the Irish west coast – a World Heritage Site

I think above mentioned details are fair enough to know Archangel Michael, without falling into further discussions let me take you to his prayer section. As mentioned above, one can call on Archangel Michael to fight against fear, doubts, psychic attacks. Archangel Michael will provide you protection and will give you strength to overcome your problems.

Note: I have tried to give meanings of some words which might not be familiar to certain readers. You cannot use those meanings given in brackets while praying, those meanings are just for your understanding and to get the exact feeling of the words used in prayer.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend me from battle;
Be my safeguard
against the malice (The quality of threatening evil) and snares (catch in or as if in a trap)
of the negative seen or unseen energy forces.
Rebuke the negative energy forces oh God
I humbly beseech (Ask for or request, in serious manner) you,
and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host,
by the Divine Power of God
thrust into the darkness,
all the negative seen and unseen energy forces,
and all of the ugly spirits who wander (Move about aimlessly or without any destination) about the world
seeking the ruination of souls.
In Jesus Christ’s name I pray,
who lives and reigns with the Father (Father term is used for supreme god, highest of all) and the Holy Spirit
One God
forever and ever.
Amen (Expression used at the end of prayers, meaning So be it)

You can dedicate this prayer for any of your known people if you find any problems with them often. You can ask for help on their behalf and you will surely get positive results.

May god bless you all for all your good wishes! Amen!
