all is well

What I see whenever I look at this card, it's very hard to avoid the colour of the angel depicted on this card. Archangel Jeremiel is depicted as a golden colour, and gold, for me, is all about prosperity and success. This is telling me that you may not feel that things are going the way you expected them to go, but all is well. If you ask Archangel Jeremiel to help you at this time, whenever things may not seem to be going as you would like them to, he will help you towards the success and prosperity that this is actually leading to. He will help open your eyes and walk you out of the darkness.

Archangel Jeremiel is depicted holding a torch and it's almost like there's a cosmic energy coming out of his torch and it's lighting up the darkness. And that's exactly what Archangel Jeremiel does. He comes with this torch and, if we're feeling like we're going through a really dark time; we may have asked the Universe, we may have asked the angels for help and support, and we feel we've been let down and that help and support isn't coming because things just don't seem to be happening and we feel we're in this really dark place, Archangel Jeremiel will come with his torch and he will light the way, he will open our eyes so that out of the darkness we can see light. He will change our perspective so that we can see that, actually, what may not look as being positive at the moment, there's actually a reason behind it. As it says here: "hidden blessings you will soon understand".

You may have asked the angels and the Universe for support and guidance and you may have felt that it hasn't come but sometimes, in order to get to the next place, you have to unravel and break down what is already existing. And that can be quite a difficult experience and quite a dark experience. But you need to have trust and have a connection with the angels.

The colour purple, on the card, represents angelic connection. Create a connection with the angels and trust that the Universe and the angels only want what is best for you. They don't want you to be hurting. They don't want you to be walking through the darkness.

Sometimes, however, whenever we've asked for help and we feel it hasn't come or things seem to, all of a sudden, fall apart because they need to be built up anew, we don't always see that in the present moment.

What Archangel Jeremiel can do, is help us change our perspective so, whenever we look back in a month's time, in 6 months' time, in a year's time, in a couple of years' time, and we see how far we have actually come, we'll understand what has happened along the way and we'll appreciate that what has happened is just that. When you're in the present moment, when you're in the here and now, and things haven't miraculously changed for you overnight, it's sometimes difficult to realise that it is working out, that Divine intervention is at play, and things are starting to come together.

Like the card says: "All is well". The Universe, the angels, they're not here to see us suffer. That doesn't make them happy. But sometimes when things are a little bit dark and difficult, whenever we can see the light, or at least make our way towards something brighter, along our path we will learn so much, we will grow so much, we will become better people, happier beings. But it can be difficult when you're in that darkness, whenever you feel that things aren't progressing as you would have liked them to progress. Then ask Archangel Jeremiel to come in an help you, to shine his light.

Archangel Jeremiel is also the angel of forgiveness. He brings with him the flame of forgiveness. And that can mean forgiving yourself and forgiving other people. Forgiving is not letting people off the hook, it's not saying "what you did to me is fine, I'll live with that". That's not what forgiveness is about. It's about changing your perspective and your perception. Again, this is all about perspective. What forgiveness is about is saying, "that person, that event or whatever it was that happened to me in the past, I'm not letting that keep me unhappy for the rest of my life, I'm not letting and I'm not allowing that to impact my life, I am not allowing that to stop me walking forward". It doesn't mean to say you've let that person off the hook, it doesn't mean to say you think it's okay that somebody treated your badly. What you're doing is you're looking after yourself, you're changing your perspective by saying, "that's not going to hurt me anymore. I'm sending too much love to myself to let somebody else hurt my life like that". That's about forgiveness, and it's also about reminding us that all is well. And that is what Archangel Jeremiel is doing through forgiveness too.

When we ask for help, when we ask for support, when we want things to change in our life, and they may not be changing as fast as we think they should, it can sometimes bring up things that we really should forgive in ourselves or others. You may not feel that Divinity is on your side. That's something you should maybe forgive. You may not feel that the angels are supporting you. That's something, for you to move forward, you would have to forgive.

Archangel Jeremiel changes your whole perspective. He lets us see things through his eyes, through bright eyes. He guides us with his flame to a brighter tomorrow so we can see, even while we are walking this path which may feel like we're walking through darkness at the moment. He can shine his light and guide us. We can see the light. We can move towards the light. And then we can change our perspective as we look back to see how things have actually fallen into place, to see how we have got to the here and now. Whenever we look at that past and asked for that guidance and thought we weren't getting it, we can, today, through his flame, through his eyes, we can look at things differently and we can start to put the jigsaw puzzle together. Even though we thought we weren't actually getting the help, we can now see just how much help and guidance we have received since first asking.

So. When you are in a place of darkness, ask Archangel Jeremiel to come to you, to bring his torch; his flaming torch of forgiveness and his flaming torch that will shine light in the darkness and help you see things from a different perspective. Because all is well. You may not feel it at this precise moment in time but, through brighter and different eyes, you will be able to look back and understand why things have happened the way they have, that maybe things had to be broken down so they could be built up anew.

All is well, lovely soul. Trust in the angels and trust in the Universe.
