An Unexpected Encounter with Archangel Jophiel

I recently received a pink heart-shaped dish as a gift when I did an angel reading for someone. I was surprised and appreciative of its beauty, as it was the colour of rose quartz. I had a little vision of taking a picture of it being held in front of my heart, so I followed through and had my husband take several shots until I got the one I wanted. 

Then I went to work at one of my favourite hobbies, photo editing, and added some effects to the picture. I ended up changing the colour of the bowl to a striking coral-pink and was very happy with the results. In the back of my mind was the Grinch-phrase about his heart growing three sizes that day, and I thought that was a nice sentiment.

The day after I made my photo, I went in for a routine mammogram.  Women know that this procedure is slightly preferable to a PAP test and not quite as much fun as a dental appointment. After I had my “pictures” taken, the technician stepped out to show them to the radiologist. I waited. I waited a little more. Finally she came back and said there was something on my left breast and I was to go for a sonogram. Okay.

Soon I was having this second procedure done. I noticed the “Please don’t ask the technician for results” sign shortly after I’d asked the technician if she was able to see the results. I was told that a report would be at my doctor’s office within two days and that I could go home. 

I left feeling reflective and curious. So apparently I had a cyst on my left side. Hmmm. Interesting. As I walked to my car, I wondered which angel I should call on. Immediately I thought about the photo I had just taken. Was it a coincidence that I portrayed myself with a deep pink heart over my left breast only the day before? Jophiel, the angel of beauty, had guided my hand and my mind in an experience of foreshadowing.

The ultrasound technician had said to me, “There is a lump there but don’t freak out.” I said, “Oh, it would take more than that to freak me out.” And that was true to my core. I felt no fear at all, just peace, calm and acceptance. I asked Archangel Jophiel to put her brilliant pink hands of light on me and I knew on a very deep level that no matter what happened, I was going to be okay.

I allowed my mind to wander, and imagined for a moment that I received a diagnosis of cancer. Many women do, including some of my closest friends. If I were to join that group, I decided, I would be okay. I imagined that I would continue to live my life, trust in the divine plan, and watch things unfold in front of me. I went home that evening and told no one about my day, not even my husband. I didn’t see any point in causing concern to my loved ones when I had no idea of the state of the cyst. I was in a very good mood and I remember laughing a lot.

In the morning, I called my doctor’s office and soon learned that the lump or cyst or whatever it was, was “benign”. I was told not to worry, but to schedule another mammogram in one year’s time. 

What this experience taught me, or should I say confirmed for me is:  there is no point in worrying and projecting, there is no need to create drama, there is always angelic assistance, and most important of all, I am okay. I am always okay. 

If you study AA Jophiel, you will not find it written anywhere that she is there for women’s health issues, but for me, I know that is exactly what her purpose is. When I see the photo of my pink heart, I am reminded to ask Jophiel to continue to surround me with her warm beauty and feminine energy. Making personal connections and relationships with the angels is one of the most magical and fascinating experiences of all.

I feel confident that next year, when I go for my mammogram, there will be no trace of the cyst. If I am mistaken, then I will deal with things moment by moment, in love and trust. I will remember how Jophiel offered her help before I even knew I needed it!
