Maria Maddalena & I

A Journey of Devotion through the centuries

As I set up for tonight’s yoga class, let me take you on a little journey… this is the story of how Mary Magdalene and I work together. It’s a heart collaboration and a remembering of the wisdom she passed on to me throughout many lives.

Today is July 22nd, and for many people around the world, this is the day we celebrate our beautiful Lady, Maria Magdalena.

A couple of months ago, I was thinking about how to celebrate this day, what I could offer to my community and if I wanted to do something different.

Then times passed, while I was moving through very deep healing, and last week, out of the blue, I remembered that I hadn’t organised anything yet.

I looked up the day on my calendar and noticed that this special day was going to be on Tuesday.

What can I organise on such short notice?

Then I stopped, placed a hand on my Heart, and went back to my breath.

And I remembered learning to sit in silence in Her presence many years ago to receive her and her message.

The teachings about Mary Magdalene, I received from other women, were all about the Sacred Womb.

Reflecting on those experiences, I attempted to design a yoga class with the womb in mind. But I couldn’t find anything that I liked and felt aligned with this day.

I knew my connection to Maria Magdalena had been changing. I knew her teaching was transforming, and I could sense that her presence in my life was going to be different.

The teachings I received (although beautiful and sacred) were not the ones I had to bring forth.

Our connection is all about the Heart.

I know that the moment I take the step into the day I’ll reach menopause, she’s going to guide me even deeper in the cave of my Heart. But for now, her presence comes and goes.

So I left it! I asked and surrendered, letting Her work through me in any way She wanted.

From then to this day, I didn’t have to do anything. Every detail, what I wanted to offer, had already been planned by our Lady.

This morning, as usual, I woke up at 5 a.m., sat on my bed, and began meditating. I felt straight away there was something unusual because I couldn’t focus. It took me about 30 minutes to finally surrender.

The moment I did that, she came through, and my Heart started to expand; its energy moved through every part of my body, and I felt her presence in my body and my energy.

During the afternoon, I felt a bit tired, and so I took a nap and while sleeping, She came to me and gave me a key and a name I had to remember for many different reasons.

This evening, in my fully booked “Yoga for Women’s Health” Class, I’ll do something different.

She asked me to wear white, to buy white flowers and create an altar, not for Her, but for all our Hearts. This day we’ll celebrate Mary Magdalene in Sisterhood, from the Heart. We’ll bring forth the qualities of the Heart and surrender to its energy.

We journey through the labyrinth of this sacred place and bring forth Love, Unity, Harmony and Peace, not just for ourselves, but every living being on this Heart.

With Mother’s Grace & Love
