You’ve likely heard of Archangel Michael – he’s the most widely recognized of all the archangels. But what many don’t know is just how supportive Michael can be for empaths, sensitives, and those on a healing path. He helps us hold our own energy, especially when we tend to absorb the emotions or energy of those around us.
Michael has been a lifesaver in my own life, and I want to share not only who he is, but also a personal story of how I came to know his presence in the most unexpected way.

How to Call on Archangel Michael
You can invoke Michael’s presence at any time with a simple intention or prayer. Here’s one I use often:
“I invoke the blue light of Archangel Michael to surround me and protect me from any negative energy or entities, seen or unseen. I ask that I be a channel of divine love and healing to everyone I cross paths with. I ask for courage, strength, and faith so that I may walk this earth with an open heart and an open mind. Thank you for the true and perfect guidance that surrounds me each and every moment … and so it is!”
As I say this, I visualize a shimmering blue bubble of energy around me – my spiritual forcefield of love and protection.
A Life-Changing Encounter
I first met Archangel Michael – truly felt him – when I was just 13. My younger brother Shad, only five years old at the time, had been born with the ability to see into the spirit world. He described his angel friends as colorful shapes with wings – triangles, circles, and squares. They were always with him, and while I couldn’t see them, I could certainly feel their presence.
One night while babysitting Shad, things took a dark turn. He started crying, saying his usual angelic friends had disappeared and been replaced by frightening ones – dark shapes with no wings. I felt a heavy, unsettling energy I couldn’t shake. I did what many would do in a moment like that: I prayed. Hard.
Eventually, our mom called a friend named Leo – a psychic – to come bless the house. I was skeptical, but I joined her and my mom as Leo called in Archangel Michael. I expected fireworks or flashing lights – anything that would make it feel “real.” I didn’t see a thing.
But then Shad came running in. “Mommy! There’s a great big blue bubble around our house!” His words floored me. In that moment, my brother saw what I could not. His pure connection became my validation, and I knew something powerful had happened.
What I Learned from That Night
The angels always respond to your call. Whether or not you see them, they are there. That night taught me not to demand proof, but to trust the experience. I learned that intuition looks and feels different for everyone – and that’s okay. I had been clairsentient all along. Once I embraced how I received messages, the doorway to even deeper connections opened.
So if you’re asking for signs and feeling disappointed by what doesn’t show up – pause. You might already be receiving exactly what you need.
Final Insight
When you call on the Archangels, they respond immediately. Don’t worry about how it looks. Just trust the moment, stay open, and allow their presence to surround you in ways only your soul can truly feel.
