Energetically, both in nature and in benefits, the initiation has been compared to attunements or activations given in the various healing arts. The difference in this case is that those receiving this gift are being aligned in particular with Michael's energy and abilities.

The third eye and crown chakras are attuned by Archangel Michael's energy during the initiation, potentially opening us to greater awareness energetically and intuitively.

Our inner Sword of Light is also awakened during the initiation, which strikes a chord and sends the resounding message to the Universe that we are ready to stand with the Light and embrace the truest aspects of our beings.

Once awakened within us, this energetic Sword may then be utililized in harmony with Michael's to clear or cleanse, cut through energetic debris or chaos in our lives, focus and empower loving affirmations or prayers, and connect with the Light of the Divine.

The initiation process elevates our vibrations and, since Michael's service extends to the area of Divine Will and Power (in addition to Protection), his initiation aligns our energy with that of the Divine. Part of Michael's intention for the initiation is that it put us more in touch with our life or soul purpose and either lead us onto that soul path or enhance the pathwork we're already doing.

The initiation ceremony shares common elements with energetic attunements as well as ordinations. A detailed description is offered at the event for those attending or by email to participants who are initiated at a distance.

The initiation is a kind of compassionate call to arms as at this time in history we are asked to stand with the Light, to heal the fears within our own hearts through unconditional Love, to bring forth peace and love upon this planet.

Note: Order of Michael is not intended to supersede or replace anyone's religious practices or beliefs. We accept members from all faiths.  Aligning with Michael's light can amplify our most loving intentions for healing and enlightening all.

Open to all who feel called to receive this blessing, the initiation is offered in the Raleigh, NC, area, and OoM Founder Diana Henderson also occasionally travels to perform the initiation for groups elsewhere. In addition, it's possible for those who live at a distance from the venue where the initiation is held to participate. (Details on distance initiation procedures are sent via email after a person registers.)
