Below, as an example, I've selected Vehuiah with the intention of Spiritual Develop and experiencing the Presence of God.

With the intention of Spiritual Development, you might invoke Vehuiah.

Vehuiah (1st Angel of the Shem HaMephorash) is associated with willpower and new beginnings.

Recite the associated Psalm verse (Psalm 3:3) with one of the several translations: "But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high."
In Hebrew: Ve’attah Iodhevauhe magen ba’adi; kevodi, umerim roshi.

3. Meditation and Visualization

Enter a meditative state, visualizing the light of the Angels enveloping you.
Feel their presence and the divine energy filling your being.
Spend several minutes in silent contemplation, allowing insights and feelings to arise.

4. Closing Mantra

Chant the closing Mantra: YOD, HEH, VAV, HEH,
or EE-AH-OH-EH
