The Beauty of God

by Tatiana Scavnicky

When I tuned into my angels for guidance on this month’s message, Archangel Jophiel popped into my head. This is another Archangel I experience as having more female characteristics. The name Jophiel means “beauty of God” sometimes known as Iofiel and Zophiel. She’s been nicknamed “the Feng Shui Angel.” Being that she nudges us to get rid of clutter and beautify our environments, this flows naturally with Feng Shui which is the ancient art of encouraging and shielding negative energy in our homes and workplaces. In the practice of Feng Shui, the flow of energy around your house affects major aspects of your life.

Recently I began having the urge to clean out my basement and really get organized around the house. Some of my friends were also expressing the need to get rid of stuff, like donating clothes and household items to charity and just taking inventory of what they had. I believe this was Jophiel at work gently encouraging us to get rid of things we no longer need as we slowly get closer to beginning a fresh and brand new year.

We all know what it feels like to clean out a closet that’s basically been a place to throw things. As much as we might not enjoy cleaning our houses we really are beautifying our environments. Our homes are our sacred space. Doesn’t it feel good to release and clear!

The stones associated with Jophiel are pink tourmaline and ruby. Her aura color is deep dark pink, almost cranberry. She’s also known as “the Patron Saint of Artists.” Hmm …artists? You don’t say?! I write music and I am an artist. I like to think I know a little about decorating. I have to see beauty wherever I look in my home. My living room has a cranberry accent wall. The light went on when I first learned about Jophiel. She has been on my spiritual team and I didn’t even know it! I love the creativity she inspires in me by sending messages to keep my sacred space pleasing and inspiring. This creates an energetic vibration for me, which supports all the artistic projects I am involved in.

Jophiel’s specialties are negativity and chaos. Call on her to clear the clutter in your energy too. When you are feeling stressed, tense and overwhelmed reach out to her. A great technique she has guided me to practice is to take your right hand and circle it above your head. Set the intention to clear away any cluttered or frustrated energy there. I have found this to give me instant relief. I use this technique on my clients as well and they say it leaves them refreshed, clear and centered.

Winter can get pretty dreary, another reason why the timing of this message is so appropriate. Jophiel is the little voice that whispers “Open the front door. Let the sunshine in. Open the windows.” I work out often in my home, but she encourages us to walk outside in the fall and winter months if the sun is out and it’s not too cold.

If you are someone who feels impacted by the dreariness of winter’s depleted amounts of sunshine, call on Jophiel. It is my belief that it is not just the sunshine we are missing, but the fresh air too. We need to be outside in nature, the beauty of God. The energy of the trees, plants and colors stimulate us. The fresh air uplifts an d refreshes us.

Don’t delay in calling out to Jophiel today, right now to de-clutter your environment, your personal energy, and to make a brand new fresh start this year!
