Angel Invocation for Protection

This is part of the bedtime Shema, the prayers and meditations before sleep, found in the Siddur after the evening service, Maariv.

One of the most ancient names of G-d is "El" - and we see that name in the names of the angels.

The first angel is Michael - like G-D - right side

The second angel is Gavriel - the Gevurah, power of G-d - left side

The third angel is Uriel - the Or - light of G-d - in front

The fourth angel is Rafael - healed by G-d - following

The fifth angel is Shekhinat El - the Shekhina - feminine presence of G-d - above the head.

The breathing sounds are reminders to take deep, full breaths as you do the meditation, through the nose, holding slightly as feels comfortable.

This meditation brings great protection and comfort, and can be used as a mantra anywhere, anytime.

In Jewish thought, angels are not independent beings; they are simply messengers of the creator. This is called an "Invocation," but it is not really calling anything into existence that is not already there - the protection is always there, it is our birthright...
