Overcoming fear and opening to new experiences
The last year has been full of surprises, one of the most life-changing was for me to have a very brief but powerful encounter with Archangel Michael.
Now, I had never met an angel before. I’m not actually sure I believed it was really possible, or that I believed angels really existed.
But I also heard other people share their experiences with angels, and I was definitely curious and open in that direction.
Before writing this post, about meeting Archangel Michael, I have maybe mentioned this encounter to one or two people because I notice that I still have a lot of fear around spirituality and these kinds of experiences, which I’m only overcoming now (this was in 2023).
But reflecting back on the last year and already feeling the experience fade, though it was so intense when it happened, made me realize that I would like to write it down.
I want to remember it for myself, but more than that, I would also like to use it as an opportunity to be vulnerable and brave and to encourage other people to trust what they experience and to not be afraid to share it with other people, for fear of possible ridicule.
Beginning to trust my inner voice and to allow for the things that are beyond what is rational and scientifically proven has been the biggest relief, joy, freedom and emancipation yet.
Coming out as someone who trusts themselves and their experience more than what is generally accepted by mainstream society has been a lot harder than coming out as a lesbian or queer person for me personally.
But I love it. I’ve never before felt so healthy, vibrant and myself.
And I know meeting Archangel Michael was just one of so many fantastic and surprising encounters waiting to happen – once we open up to the possibility.
I’ll open comments on this post too (to allow for even more possibility), so if you have an experience you’d like to share or a question for me, you can leave that in the comments!
Here is how I met Archangel Michael:
I was laying in bed and had a hard time falling asleep. Too many thoughts, too many ideas, and I decided to just ask: “What can I do to fall asleep now?”
And the answer was immediate: How about Archangel Michael?
And while I was still thinking that that is definitely nothing that I would have ever come up with by myself, or a combination of words that I had noticed in my consciousness before, it felt like a big white wing was coming down over my eyes, tears running over my face, and I’m still crying thinking back to that moment.
I instantly felt more at peace than I had ever felt before and fell into the most beautiful peaceful sleep.
Thinking back, I’m still so touched. It was literally like all worries and fears were wiped away and just pure beautiful bliss remained.
Peaceful emptiness and pure existence.
I can still remember and feel it now, and I hope I will be able to do so for a long time.
Very grateful.
How about you?
Have you had any similar experiences? What was it like for you? I’d love to hear from you!

It was a Sunday years ago. Someone was using an axe to break through my flat door. I immediately called for archangel Michael as I knew I was in immediate danger of death or at least serious bodily harm. He appeared with vivid blue but surrounded in white, at least twice my height, with a glissening sword and shield. The wings were folded in tight. It was like he was saying turn around and face the door and leave the rest to me. I turned around to face the door and my fear was all taken away. I felt him move through me from behind and the feeling was so over whelming. I saw an image move through the door and then the screams of the intruder as he ran off. Before I turned round to face the door, Michael’s face was blanked out, just pure white, no features. A true spiritual experience. The intruder was later caught that day, charged and imprisoned.
That’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
Greetings,
I encourage you to keep listening to that inner voice. Especially noticing how images and or intense feelings show up in your mind when working with St. Michael. I have many stories I would like to share about St. Michael Archangel.
Thank you for your encouragement, I wrote this a few years ago, so a lot more has come up since. What are your experiences with this Azrael? 🧚♀️
I have never encountered mighty Saint Michael myself, although I have a great devotion to him. I can tell you this though, I have one of the stones from his shrine in Mt Gargano Italy, and I keep it by my bedside and carry it with me everywhere I go. I can attest to the fact that when I have it with me, I feel more spiritually empowered against temptation than without it. As well, a few weekends ago I was in a situation where I was really afraid of something bad happening, and it did not, later when I got home, I was still freaked out about what could have happened, and I had completely forgot that I had packed the stone into my daypack. When I unloaded it out of my pack, I remembered why I carry it with me everywhere I go in the first place! If you have not read about the events that transpired there in the 1600s, I recommend you check it out. I have never travelled outside the US, but Mt Gargano is the one place I must visit before I die. Saint Michael the archangel, defend us in battle!
