Let Archangel Sandalphon Help You Attune to Your Soul's True Mate

When Sandalphon came forward to be featured in this series on Archangels, I thought of his role in helping us align with higher self. “There is more to write about me,” he insisted. (While I refer to Sandalphon as a “he”, angels are a sexless species.) 

I went into the quiet place where I could attune to Sandalphon. He explained that he wanted others to know about his ability to help with finding a life mate and with acquiring a healthy attitude toward nature.

Romance is Divine in 2009

In my workshops and discussions with clients, attracting one's soulmate is a priority. The energy shifts over the last several decades are settling down, allowing many to regain stability and enjoy the new lifestyles they have created. Whether you are a courageous soul who has hung on to a mate through difficult times, or an equally brave one who has let go of a relationship which impeded your life path, it is a great time to seek companionship with a mate who supports your transformation!

Information about Sandalphon comes from the mystical traditions of the Midrash, Kabbalah and Talmud, as well as Babylonia and Islam. Recorded visions of Sandalphon describe him as extremely tall, his head reaching to God while his feet are planted upon Gaia, the planet Earth, his height described as a “500 year foot-journey”. I recently attended a basketball game of the Tulsa66'ers with my cousin. Those guys are tall, but that version of Sandalphon sure outstrips them.

Visions include symbols. In these early appearances to ancient sages, Sandalphon explains that he was providing a visual metaphor for his role in helping humanity. Put simply, Sandalphon helps us to “flesh out” who we truly are. He supports us in aligning our bodies, and our actions, with our Greater Self.

Sandalphon sees our vibration as distinct musical compositions, with a unique vibratory signature. In fact, Sandalphon is associated with music. It may be said that Sandalphon brings us into alignment with the music of our souls.

Because our physical expression is his focus, Sandalphon is said to be instrumental in determining the gender of an embryo. Sandalphon understands how our True Self, with all its gifts, knowledge and desire for expansion (e.g. new learning) will best be expressed and served by being a woman or man.  Our sexuality is therefore well understood by Sandalphon, and he understands   how having a compatible mate helps us to recharge. He also understands the spiritual aspects of sex.

“To be entwined with one's soulmate is to be everything you are and more,” Sandalphon says. “One plus one is more than two,” he explains, “for when two people are truly supporting one another multi-dimensionally [that is to say, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically], they unfold into who they truly are. The effects of this are widely felt, the benefit to the planet, great.”

Here is how multi-dimensional compatibility looks:

*   Spiritual. A spiritually compatible relationship means everything from enthusiastic sharing of the same path, to tolerance of one another's journey. This will show up as, (1) Genuine interest in what your partner’s spirituality means to him or her, and the same in return; (2) Considerate respect for one another’s beliefs, and support for pursuing associated activities. A client came to me telling me that she had manifested a great love. This person was everything she had hoped for except that he did not share her spiritual beliefs, and had a tendency to ridicule them. The relationship had all the other three components in spades, so she married him anyway. Over the years, they grew farther and farther apart. Although eventually they separated, they are working to restore their relationship by fostering better understanding of each other’s spiritual connection. They are making great progress! It’s important to value this important aspect in a love relationship.

*    Intellectual. Many couples report their soulmate will say something they were just thinking. Other evidence of close mental compatibility are studying similar subjects in school, similar interests, compatible hobbies, long conversations on several topics in depth. Intellectual support will entail keen interest in one another. Dr. John Gottman calls this developing a “Love Map.” We start creating our love maps from the first conversation. It includes knowing your mate’s favorite color, favorite foods, whom he took to the high school prom, where she was the day of the ice storm. This body of knowledge about your beloved grows to massive proportions in a truly caring relationship, for we tend to remember the details of someone's life when we are genuinely interested in them. 

*    Emotional.  Being emotionally compatible means being a good listener, knowing how to respond to your partner with what she or he needs in affection and support. There's no way to fake this. You either have that connection, or you don't.  Skill in this area may grow over time, but the basics are there from the beginning, or they are not. Honor yourself by making sure this important aspect of your relationship is present (both from you and to you) when considering a commitment. Emotional compatibility can mean anything from knowing whether to quietly reach out to hold your lover's hand when she feels blue, to redirect the conversation to a more positive reframe, or both, or to give another response that she will appreciate. It may mean the ability to stay positive and focused because neither of you wish to be a tender shoulder to cry on all that often. Either one is ok! Just know who you are and what you need, as well as what you can give. Realize that there’s a place in every good relationship where two become blended, as well. The degree and style will vary, but it’s always there where a great relationship exists. Make sure the balance is what is right and satisfying for both of you. Be willing to talk about it and make adjustments if not.

*    Physical. This covers the issue of sexual chemistry as well as energy levels. It can mean sharing a vegetarian lifestyle, hiking together for miles, preferring warm weather to cold, being early risers, these are areas of physical compatibility which can help support the whole. Chemistry is also something that is usually present from the early stages of a relationship, or it never will be. Relationships which demonstrate the presence of the first three traits without a good sexual connection may still be soulmate relationships, but it’s not advisable that they become romantic ones. Honor your needs and wait for compatibility here as much as you insist on the other three. For those who do share a powerful attraction, try to clarify whether the other three are present.

Sandalphon strongly advises those who are seeking a soulmate to, “Joyously wait to meet someone who opens their heart to you and to whom you open your heart in all four of these dimensions.” Where all four of these are present, there will be good communication, fairness, friendship, affection, affirmation, and many other hallmarks of compatibility. The phrase about lovers “making beautiful music together” is definitely how Sandalphon sees it!

 I decided to ask Sandalphon to expound on the concept of soulmates. Here is the answer that I received.  

 “There are twin flames for every soul on earth, with only rare exceptions. However, you sometimes get off course and lose track of one another. This is all within divine order. All works out for the highest and best good. Fortunately, there are a number of soulmates for every being who incarnates. No one incarnates alone. Everyone comes as part of a group, a pod and related pods.  Those who are from your pod or a neighboring pod are your soulmates, and among these, there will be fitting mates.”

 Relationships are like flowers, requiring nurture in the form of small acts, such as setting aside time to talk, laugh and appreciate one another. Also, like flowers, aspects of our relationships go through seasons. How to know whether your flower is in the midst of winter hibernation or completely dead? The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, by Dr. John Gottman's is a gem for helping you to know what to look for in a relationship. Books by Robin Norwood and Harriet Lerner also offer insight on relationships. I strongly recommend you start with Gottman. Better yet, let both of you read it and compare notes.

Sandalphon‘s Music

 Sandalphon helps us to ground in our bodies, allowing us to fully express our true intentions, personality, and life purpose. Use beautiful music to meditate as you ask Sandalphon to join you, a magnificent symphony or moving new age composition. The sensation of Sandalphon's presence is like a strumming of the heartstrings or a delicious knowing that one is in tune with great beauty. You may see, hear or feel Sandalphon's wings, noticeable for their strong cadence, beating in time to a celestial symphony. You may sense Sandalphon as a vibrant spiritual presence, who brings anticipatory joy. Ultimately, Sandalphon will bring you back to appreciating the beautiful being that you are.

 In my “Talking with Angels” workshop, I have taught many people to sense and work with angels. I also teach about vibration and the law of attraction. No other archangel is as attuned to vibration as Sandalphon, how Consciousness creates every atom and every experience. He is the ultimate archangel for the quantum physicist.

 To call upon Sandalphon for finding a compatible and loving soulmate, you might try this simple prayer. Pray it as often as you like. It will help you re-align with your positive intentions and lift you out of despair or loneliness.  The more you use it, the more you will find it helps you.  Use your own words as you fill in the blanks:

 Sandalphon, I affirm with you my unique needs for love. Please help me to be true to myself as I seek romantic love with another person. Help me to recognize my soulmate, help us to find one another. I affirm with you that I am worthy of great love with one wonderful person, who is supportive of me emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I am excited about meeting someone with whom I share ________  and __________. Someone who is ___________  and __________ , and any other qualities you know that I require. (Please add as many qualities as you like here. This is your time to be as specific and detailed as you wish!) I leave both of us in your capable hands.   Thank you, Sandalphon!

 
Sandalphon’s Help with Grounding Ourselves, Earth Activism

 Sandalphon’s connection with earth and all her energies means that he is great at helping us ground. As you grow spiritually, ask Sandalphon to help recalibrate your body, so that you can integrate new expansion. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself inspired to make dietary changes and/or to exercise. Our cells carry both old and new energy. Working out, being in nature, and eating healthfully help us to detoxify ourselves of the old, unwanted stuff. The angels know this is important to our progress.

 Sandalphon is also keenly interested in how we act as caretakers of our beloved planet Earth. The recent planetary shifts have caused some weather shifts as well. While I do not personally believe global warming is solely caused by human intervention, global warming is a fact, one which we would be wise to manage and respond to.  Ask Sandalphon how you can assist with making a difference. This Earth Day would be a perfect time to help out with community organizing efforts designed to clean up and beautify the environment. Get the children involved, too! Movies like Arctic Tale, are a great way to expose children to the issue in a positive way.

 Sandalphon's interest in earth extends to our interaction with animals as well. Emissions caused by animal farming, cattle, pigs, chicken,, etc., add more to planetary pollution than our vehicles. Sustainable farming and sustainable eating lowers planetary warming trends more than many other activities.

The need to treat animals well is both physical and spiritual. A quote I love, often attributed to Ghandi, goes like this.

 "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” 

 Please know that an entire day’s protein requirement is met by 3-4 ounces of meat.  Let us send light and love to all people associated with the industry of farming animals. Kudos to those farmers willing to opt for alternative methods of farming. Visualize all farmed animals being treated well, with their basic needs for food, water, sunshine, grass, exercise, and air, adequately met, living good lives.

 A last concern Sandalphon would like to address is that of animals which are killed on the roads. Sandalphon urges us to consider slowing down to the speed limit as we drive. Many animals have grown up to gauge the speed limit of a road they live near, and are only struck when someone speeds. In some towns and cities, tunnels are installed underneath roads expressly for the purpose of allowing slower animals, such as muskrats and turtles, or larger animals like deer, to pass safely beneath the roads as they travel their necessary food foraging routes.  Using electronic collars to keep pets within safe range of the house and yard, is an easy and economical way to ensure safety.

 Can you imagine the impact on our lives, our general well being, and our outlook, if we as a planet were to honor the animals? 

Sandalphon’s Response

Remember that angels don't judge, they don't criticize, nor do they create hatred or panic. To angels, mistakes are for learning. What they encourage is positive change.  

The wonderful archangel Sandalphon has many gifts to share. Reach out to Sandalphon with your mind. He will answer in the form of signs and synchronicities, coincidences that come to you as people or circumstances which lead you to new experiences, or as a still small voice or a song in your head or heart which directs you to make positive improvements. Be willing to listen, make small steps, and enjoy the doors that open, and even the ones that close, for all is a response.
