Embracing the Abundance of Spiritual Resources

In the journaling portion of the writing below, I see my own human perspective and some of the challenge on the path. It's hard to feel "spiritual" all the time. Often it's too much for my human mind to truly embrace the abundance of spiritual resources but repeatedly, my guides call me to believe in the wealth of connection available to us all. Simply showing up in my prayer and meditation practice accesses the amazing and inspiring mystical realm. Below is the meditation for February 28th. I hope it inspires you today.

To be a disciple of the spiritual life, you must come to us often.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

Sometimes I feel far removed from my spiritual guides and spiritual center. With all the things to do in a day and in my life, connecting in a real way to my spiritual allies and friends seems like a fictional story and not a reality. I come to Mary and my guides with this apathy and these doubts today. Mary smiles and says,

“Even though you feel far away from us, you are near always in our souls and hearts. We hold you and carry special blessings to you even when you do not know it. We are here always and we love you completely.

Like all things of value, effort and discipline are involved. To be a disciple of our own spiritual unfolding, there is daily practice, focus and discipline. When you meet us daily and moment-by-moment, our connection will be easy and simple to enter into. When you withhold yourself from our daily, regular connection, there is time for resignation, frustration, doubt and self-will to enter. More time is necessary to reenter the realm of ease and communion with us.

There is great self-love that comes from allowing us to bless you moment by moment. From these continued blessings from us, you will give to others from your fullness within.

Come often. Come easily. Come.”

Immediate Gratification

I want immediate gratification and results in my life. I always have and probably always will experience a sense of urgency and restlessness inside. It's one of the reasons that the Four Step Process to a Unique Prayer and Meditation Practice in BLESSINGS FROM MARY is so welcome and special to me. The four steps are:

1. CREATING the CEREMONY with INTENTION followed by

2. AUTHENTIC JOURNALING, then

3. SWITCHING THE ENERGY and last but not least

4. SURRENDERING to the DISCIPLINE and CREATING DIVINITY CIRCLES.

Each step is about honoring ourselves by taking the time to create the space, being honest about what we bring to the process, turning our challenges and ego over to our Spirit Guides and Divine Source and then practicing, practicing and practicing more.

The practice is five out of seven days a week. I am gentle with myself when I miss that consistency and give myself permission to go often to the circle with a candle and sage. I give myself permission for this unconditional love and connection with the Divine.

Taking this time for myself is an act of love and care. We can increase our capacity to love ourselves as we develop consistency with this practice or any consistent prayer practice that we have. Immediate gratification comes over time. We begin to integrate the belief that we are worth the time to take and receive the unlimited spiritual love available to us as we bring ourselves to this practice over and over again.

Love and blessings on your journey, Sally

Allowing yourself to dwell with Spirit is a great act of love for all.

Abundance in Spiritual Resources...

At times I am frustrated with my own focus on me. I want to be acknowledged, validated, heard and judge that I am giving more than I am receiving. I'm embarrassed with my own immaturity and yet I know honesty with myself is the beginning of changing these old thoughts and beliefs. I know there is a Spiritual Solution to this. When I look outside myself for fulfillment, I set myself up for disappointment. If I am committed to spiritual and emotional maturity, then the daily discipline of my own PRAY and MEDITATION practice is the only resource that can really heal these old wounds and hurts inside. Today I am reminded that the Spiritual Resources available to all of us are without end and as I bring myself to my Spiritual Source and allow myself to receive healing, I am able to assist in directing others to this magnificent resource. This is from "Blessings From Mary" on September 6th shared with you in humility.

All that you have to offer others comes first from loving, nourishing and trusting yourself.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

I feel excited today with the stirring of this spiritual connection inside of me, I am given messages and gifts based in my own experiences especially through the challenges and struggles. I bring this to Mary and my guides today.

“Hear us now. We are here for you and our message is to be shared through you.

We say, ‘trust yourself.’ There is a time when the unraveling of addictive tendencies of mind, heart and body is complete and then the beginning of profound spiritual connection occurs. This connection happens with self, with Spirit, with the communities of soul partners and with the masses waiting to hear these spiritual messages.

Do you understand? This is part of your message. These are lessons you are to teach others.

Begin with self. Selfishly focus on self, nurturing sobriety, nurture abstinence and allow the emptiness inside to be filled with Spirit and Divine connection.

Then you will receive the messages to share with others. Your gifts and unique purpose will be made clear and your energies will be used for service. This is the message and lesson you will bestow on those with ears to hear and hearts to receive.

Follow this guidance. Trust this process and the ways in which you are being called. All are called in this way and many will answer this call.

We are here for you. Share this message with others.”

Speaking up or trusting Silence....

It can be difficult to know when to speak up and when our silence is most powerful. Here is the meditation from January 16th to assist in discernment around women's oppression, injustice and how to make a difference.

January 16^th

There is a time to speak and a time for quiet. Come to us and we will guide you from within.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

Sometimes I ponder the challenge of women in spiritual leadership in our culture. The shadows and conditions around gender oppression that say, “Women should be quiet, nice and not cause trouble. A woman who speaks her mind likes drama and is considered a bitch.” I bring this to Mary and my guides. Mary says,

“Yes, you are right. There are additional challenges to bringing the Feminine Power into view for all to see, to taste and to grasp. As you are called to be one of these messengers, you have a fire to walk thru and are a target of projections and anger of others; those not yet ready to take responsibility for their own shadows and projections around feminine power and voice. This is your sacramental rite of passage. You will find many challenges and you will navigate through different situations in order to be heard and not persecuted in the process. You are learning which battles to choose.

You are learning when to speak and when your silence will make the greatest difference. You are learning how to speak from power sourced by the Divine and you are letting go of your own ego. This will influence and shake up the tightness of people’s beliefs and thoughts.

Your wisdom comes from allowing the fire walking of your journey to light the way for discernment.

You are trusting the guidance from within and though there may be some burns from past choices, you are learning how to walk the journey with our protection and guidance.

Come to us. We will guide you on your rite of passage and let you know which principles shall be spoken aloud and which must be allowed to mature more on their own. Honor our nudging and trust our guidance. We will teach you how and when to speak, how and when to watch and how and when to shine a light.”

A life of magnificence....

January 7th

In quiet stillness, there is great power.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

I feel in awe of this time with my guides. I just never knew that they wanted to speak to me in this way. All I am doing is showing up and sharing myself and then I receive such wisdom and gifts for my soul. Today I am so grateful for this and I bring that gratitude to my guides.

“Is it possible there is a life of magnificence for which we are all called? If it is true, how exactly do we heed the call? How do we answer yes to this life of our dreams and deepest desires?

This answer is to come to us. Come to the quiet, breathe deeply and invite your guides to speak, to whisper, and to soothe. In your quiet stillness, there is great power. In your simple intention to listen and connect, there are profound stirrings and transformational happenings.

You have a life of magnificence waiting to be bestowed upon you. It is as simple as sitting, it is as simple as asking, and it is as simple as receiving.”

January 1^st

All the angels, saints and soul partners in the universe are waiting to respond to your requests.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

Today I have this strong sense of being held and loved by my spiritual guides and soul partners. They just wait to love me and respond to my requests. As the beginning of the year unfolds, I connect with them and with my own difficulty in receiving. I give this over to them.

“Sometimes it is hard to imagine that the entire universe responds to your request. It is easy to doubt that the angels and saints of old and present are waiting with excited ears and hearts to respond when you reach out. It seems unbelievable that the great beings of heaven and earth are available to serve you. I know it is difficult to believe, but it is true. We love you. We are here waiting for you to reach out. Our energy and purpose is to respond to your pleas and we delight in doing so.

To be of such value, such worth, such beauty and to command such power, this is true greatness. You are this greatness. You are the Creator’s creation. Your purpose in life is to discover this pearl of Divine wisdom and profound power and use it with your intention to fully love and serve.

As you allow us to love and serve you, you learn how to love and serve others. It is the spiritual cycle of life. Come to us. Let us bless you abundantly. Let us shower you with the fullness of love and care.”

Challenges on the Spiritual Journey

December 7th

There is nothing more to do than come to us daily and follow the threads of intuition and action we provide.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

My husband left yesterday to go overseas. I wanted to act out and overeat, but I did not. I miss the trees, the water, and the sky of the Northern land and have felt the depression, again, of leaving and returning to a hot city. Also, I am concerned about my books and their success or lack thereof. I also must say that I am sick and tired of my ego worrying about all these things. I bring this all to my meditation today.

“My child, this is your path. Spiritual seekers, those who make the greatest difference, ask for reassurance most often. This is not a sign of weakness, of fear or of shame. It is a sign of your deep and profound connection to Spirit and your wisdom in knowing you are sourced by souls and energies greater than yourself.

There is nothing more to do than what comes to you each day. Pay attention to the angels sent to assist you on your path. Follow the threads of action and the intuitions that you are being given. Pay attention to the vision you see and the spontaneous flashes of light.

We are with you. So many soul and spiritual supporters surround you. Let us bless you with clarity, assistance and action to take. Deep inside, your path resonates in your soul. This is to be guarded. This is to be honored. This is to be defended and protected above all else. Pay attention to the ways that we speak to you in this place deep inside.

You are on the path of sacred living. Your Divine purpose has been made clear. Teach others to do the same. Teach them how to find their purpose and manifest their unique gifts to the masses.

The ease may come, but only after the challenges are met and barriers embraced. You have earned the ease. You have honored your call.”
