Leadership and Spirituality

May 22^nd                                                                       

Spiritual leadership has all that you want it to contain and all that you resist in your life.

 Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“Leadership is about service. The foundation of sacred and holy leadership springs forth from the intention of service and love. Service and love mean surrendering our wounded egos. We can then hold these wounded places with great care and kindness. 

Leadership requires great humility; knowing we need the Divine for guidance and knowing we are called. It is our unique way to service. Leadership also calls us to bold and often unpopular action. Leadership requires us to speak what we see when no one else is willing and to take the risk of mirroring what no one else will mirror for the good of the greater community.

Leadership requires falling at the feet of the Divine Spirit and proudly receiving the blessings of mercy and the courage to go forth. Leadership has all that you want it to contain and all that you resist in your life."

Tension always precedes transformation and birth. Trust the tension.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

This is a message that I needed and wanted to hear. There are places of tension of in my life today; both emotionally and spiritually. I want clear answers and directions NOW and try as I might for force an outcome, the tension remains. 

In reviewing the original meaning of the word "tension" I learned that it comes from the Latin to "stretch." I have a dream that I have been nurturing for a couple of years now. When I detach from my own struggle around it, I can see how Spirit is stretching me spiritually and emotionally. I am being called to trust, surrender, release, receive and trust, surrender and release some more. 


While there is an outcome that I imagine, I am not sure of the exact direction and actions to take to manifest it all. The one thing that continues to hold me afloat is my own prayer and meditation practice. Daily I pray, meditate, breathe deeply, sometimes throw a temper tantrum, beg or demand; but eventually I come to surrender and survive another day. Recently I've heard an old saying, "When Spirit closes a door, a window will open but the hallway can be hell." 

To this I can relate. The hallway can be dark, smelly and never-ending as well.

Sacred Feminine energy and voice reminds me that "tension always precedes transformation" and this provides me comfort. I remember imaging my beautiful daughter and how excited I was to meet her during a very long and arduous birthing experience. I can rely on that experience to remind me that it was well worth the waiting. 

As women and men, we give birth in many ways to numerous projects, relationships, events, dreams and ways of being. Breathing deeply, doing what we can in the moment and trusting the process helps. 

Blessings to you on your journey. I know there are times and places where the tension has seemed unbearable in your life as well. Knowing there is light at the end of the hallway and that we are not alone always helps!

Lack, abundance and trusting Diving Source....

There is often a challenge to releasing old beliefs and allowing ourselves to experience, new more empowering belief systems. We must first acknowledge our attachment to what is familiar, even when what is familiar in our beliefs no longer serves our highest good. In this ownership, we then have the ability to release and let go; welcoming beliefs that serve our highest good and provide us the energy to share our gifts and contributions with others.

A sense of lack is a lack of faith. There is no lack with Divine Source.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

Hear this now. There is no lack where there is Divine Source. There is no running out of anything where Divine Source lives. There is no lack of money. No lack of food. No lack of time. No lack of energy. No lack of resource of any kind.

Your desire to remain attached to a belief of lack is your desire to remain in control of life and your own self-will. There is no such thing as lack. When you surrender to the abundance of the Source from which we all are connected, you will know this to be true. Abundance will then flow in all ways and flow consistently with lushness and miracles galore.

You must surrender this belief and forgive yourself for any attachment to past. This, too, is how you stay in lack. It is a lack of self-forgiveness, and a lack of belief in Divine plan. As imperfect as you are and have been on your journey, remember that your heart has been given over to Divine Source. We know this. Therefore, you shall claim Divine order and timing in all things.

Believe now in the abundant flow of all energies. Believe now in the Divine order of all things. All things.”

Look within....

It takes immense courage to go within for our guidance rather than seeking without. We must resist outward approval over inward nudging. Coming to a daily prayer and meditation practice assists us in this journey of going within for our guidance.

Spiritual answers come from within.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“You will feel alone at times. It is a solitary journey. There is an answer guiding your way, but it is inner whispers, not outer voices.Your answers come from within, from deep inside where your spiritual allies reside.

You will want to look outwardly. It will provide the illusion of connection and is easy for your ego to attempt to obtain approval from others. To stand with the discomfort internally and continue to look within for guidance, takes great courage and commitment.

Spiritual answers come from within. Wounded and immature ego answers are sought without. We guide from the inside out. We speak from the inside of the heart and you will know our voices as your spirit will be inspired, fulfilled and comforted.

Come inside to the quiet, sometimes uncomfortable tension of not knowing. Be still and allow us to guide you and whisper to you. We are here for you.”

Honoring our own vibration

There is a knowing inside where our soul and spirit vibrates. Honor this knowing.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

Today in my prayer and meditation I was seeking guidance in some projects in my life as well as in some relationships in my life. I am aware of the necessity for daily prayer and meditation so this is a regular practice for me. Interestingly, I found myself unable to relax and then in the middle of this meditation time, I got up and started to walk away. When I realized I was moving from my place, I stopped. I noticed that I was walking away from what was coming through my spirit as I sat still. Here is what my guides were saying to me. They were telling me that I am called to honor the vibration of spirit inside of myself. That I must share this vibration and wisdom for those who wish to receive it and I must let go of trying to "convince" those who do not wish to receive this wisdom.

Loving myself and honoring this passionate, life-giving vibration is my first priority. Nourishing the relationships that vibrate with me is next. Releasing in love those who do not wish to embrace this high vibration of the Divine is also important.

Following Divine guidance will call within us the action of letting go. Letting go of our own attachments to people, places and things. In place of the letting go comes a direct connection to Spiritual guidance and the synchronistic events that point us in the direction of manifesting a Divine, Spirit-filled life of abundance. We have a responsibility, as spiritual seekers, to receive this guidance and high vibrational energy. As we receive, so shall we give.

Blessings and love,

Sally

Self-Love and Rites of Passage

January 31^st

Rites of passage are mostly about loving self and this is a lifelong process.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“Yes, you are right to call this a rite of passage. It is your journey to love yourself when you make mistakes and to take responsibility for your choices and risk hurting those you love. It is your path to own your mistakes without being a mistake. It is your path to own your shadows and to be able to love yourself through these challenging times and wounded places.

When you can have compassion for all of who you are and all of who you are not, when you can care gently for yourself, when your behavior has been careless and without discernment, when you can warmly welcome yourself back into your own arms, when you’ve behaved badly and hurt those you care deeply about, then you can offer this healing mercy to another.

This is your journey, dear sister. It is to love completely every crack and crevice of your soul that is dark and wounded and prefers to remain hidden. This is where the glory lies. From here, you will heal all those you touch.

Come to us. We will love you completely when you are unable to love yourself. Then do the same for others.”

There is no spirituality without discipline....

April 26^th

Spiritual discipline during challenging times will reap grand results.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“Come to us. There are great gifts to come when you honor your discipline and commitment to this prayer and meditation practice. This practice of coming to us and dwelling in our presence will bless you immensely.

Being spiritually disciplined during the best of times and easiest of environments reaps certain results. Being spiritually disciplined during the worst of times and most difficult of environments reaps certain results. The greatness and depth of the gift comes from the energy, focus and depth of intention put into it.

Trust this. Value and magnificence come with effort and intention.

Bless this time with us. Bless your effort, your challenges, bless the internal barriers and obstacles, bless the rewards reaped and received.”
