You were never meant to evolve alone.
The Universe made sure of it.
Across traditions, religions, and spiritual practices spanning millennia, one truth remains consistent: your spirit has company on this evolutionary journey. From the earliest days of existence, beings have worked alongside us in the unseen layers of consciousness.
These are the Celestial Hierarchies.
They cooperate with the Divine to hold the spiritual architecture of the Universe in place. When we engage in practices like Reiki and channel universal life force energy, we begin to tap into our connection with these celestial beings.
But to make the most out of this relationship, we must first learn what they are.
Meet The Divine Structure
The most detailed account of this spiritual order comes from a 5th-century mystic, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, in his work The Celestial Hierarchy. He outlines nine tiers of divine beings arranged in three triads. Each tier plays a unique role in maintaining divine order and supporting both cosmic and personal evolution.
First Triad: Pure Divine Presence
These beings are the closest to the Divine Source.
They don’t intervene directly in human affairs but hold space for the very existence of light, order, and love.
• Seraphim are known as “the burning ones” and represent divine love in its purest form. Their energy is the flame of transformation, a mirror to your highest spiritual potential.
• Cherubim embody divine wisdom and guard sacred mysteries. They assist the soul in awakening divine intelligence within.
• Thrones carry Divine Will and cosmic justice. Their energy governs universal balance and peace, especially during personal transformation.
Second Triad: Cosmic Order & Guidance
These celestial beings oversee the movement of divine energy from higher realms into structured manifestation.
• Dominions pass instructions from the First Triad to the lower choirs. Their frequency inspires aligned leadership and spiritual authority rooted in integrity.
• Virtues keep elemental and natural balance. Their influence stands behind inspiration, healing, and resilience during transformation.
• Powers guard thresholds and spiritual boundaries. They protect divine laws and can aid in spiritual discernment and protection during challenging energetic work.
Third Triad: Divine Presence in Daily Life
These are the most accessible beings to us because they are intimately involved with human life and consciousness.
• Principalities watch over communities, cultures, and sacred collectives. Their energy nurtures growth in spiritual groups and unified intention.
• Archangels serve as messengers and protectors. They’re powerful allies who support healing, courage, clarity, and energetic realignment.
• Angels are our closest companions in the hierarchy. Guardian angels guide and comfort us through challenges and awakenings.
How Does The Divine Structure Influence Your Spiritual Evolution
Our existence isn’t random.
The deeper we travel into our spiritual practice, whether it’s through Reiki, meditation, or prayer, the more we refine our vibration. With this refinement comes alignment. We begin to perceive influences and feel the quiet support of divine intelligences.
Perhaps the most important part is remembering who we truly are: an extension of the Divine.
The Celestial Hierarchies support our healing and evolution while maintaining harmony between the spiritual and material realms.
This clarity enables us to act intentionally.
Understanding The Celestial Hierarchies Is An Act Of Awareness
This structure has always been there.
Whether you acknowledge it or not, it influences everything from choosing to practice Reiki today to understanding your role in this divine ecosystem. What changes is your ability to consciously participate.
The Seraphim don’t care if you believe in them.
The Angels don’t wait for permission to guide you.
They simply do what they’ve always done: hold space for your evolution, clear pathways when you’re ready to walk them, and reflect back the divine light that lives inside you.
Being aware of this spiritual architecture will empower you with the confidence you need to progress while asking for guidance and support at every step.
It will help you understand that you are never truly alone.
Reiki As A Practical Tool
Spiritual evolution emerges from consistent practice.
You can do this through praying, pilgrimages, or fasting. But Reiki offers practical methods for targeting the energetic body. You get to raise your vibration and clear energetic debris, making it easier to align with higher consciousness.
Through regular practice, Reiki enthusiasts begin sensing the presence of divine intelligence. The more they clear their energy channels, the easier it is to act intentionally.
Peace of mind and self-confidence are no longer random.
They are signs of spiritual evolution unfolding.
A simple way to strengthen this connection:
- Activate your palms with Cho Ku Rei + Sei He Ki + Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen + Dai Ko Myo (to amplify your connection to higher consciousness).
- Place your hands on the crown chakra and set a clear intention to open yourself to divine guidance and the presence of celestial beings.
- Visualize a stream of white-golden light entering through your crown, filling your entire body, and connecting you to the spiritual architecture around you.
- Spend 5-10 minutes in this position.
If you’re a Karuna Reiki practitioner, you can try activating Harth and Rama on your crown chakra. The first connects directly to higher consciousness and accesses deep spiritual layers. The second facilitates the connection with Archangels and higher spiritual beings.
Antahkarana is another great symbol for entering deep states of meditation while accessing superior levels of consciousness.
Start with the basics and grow from there.
You Are Never Truly Alone
This realization helped me in moments of despair.
Those moments when I had nobody to talk. When I felt vulnerable in front of adversity and lost in this thing called life. But gradually becoming more aware of these divine beings allowed me to seek answers where there was only void.
Not everything was immediately clear, and not everything aligned with what I thought I believed. But looking back, it all made sense.
Now, when the path feels uncertain, I know I have guidance.
And so do you.
