Are All Angel Meditation CDs Spiritually Safe?

A Catholic woman seeks advice about two CDs that may not follow her religious beliefs.

She states her teachings are also based on “

The Law of Attraction

.” The Law of Attraction was first found in ancient Hinduism. Through the centuries it has been adapted in many ways by different groups. Today it is prominent in New Age thought.



Jan Yoxall also incorporates an ancient tradition known as

chakra

which originated in the

Vedas

, the oldest written tradition in India. The word "chakra"' is Sanskrit for "wheel" or "disk" and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body.  The crown chakra is the seventh energy level, and it is considered a tool to communicate with our spiritual nature and to connect us with the universal consciousness, sometimes referred to as our God Source. Jan Yoxall integrated angels into this belief system.



Some pick and choose ideas from The Law of Attraction and the Hindu chakra system. Although these ideas are said to work with people of any religion, they are in opposition to traditional Christian and Catholic doctrines.



Is there such a name as Channael or Hannael that refers to a fallen angel? I spoke to a man who teaches from an old Hebrew text, and when I told him of an unusual dream I had, he said I was blessed. He said God was giving me the name Channael. I asked him what it meant and he said, "God's Brace."

When I researched that name, I couldn't find it; I found different names for a fallen angel. I thought the man may have spelled it wrong. How can one be blessed with the name of a fallen angel? A friend helped me look up different spellings of the name, and we found Chaniel or Haniel. I wrote the man an email asking if he meant to spell Chaniel. He said he had spelled the name correctly, and a fallen angel had been given grace back. He did not repeat that the name meant "God's Brace."

Now I don't know what to think of this guy who teaches old Hebrew texts. Is there a Channael who is a fallen angel? Does the name really mean "God's Brace"?

I did extensive research, and I was unable to find the name Channeal in any of the lists of angels in ancient or current religions and traditions. I do not know what “old Hebrew text” the man you mentioned is using, but there is no indication that he is using the Hebrew Scriptures, Kabbalah texts, or any other recognized Hebrew texts. I do not think there is any reason to put credence in anything he tells you.
