If I were to ask you what it means to live from your love, what would you think of? Would you think of a person? A spiritual connection?
It's a powerful question, isn't it? One that invites us to pause and consider where we've been searching for that elusive sense of wholeness and connection.
The desire to experience and understand love resides deep within you.
After all, we've always been seekers. This is an intrinsic aspect of our humanity. Although our collective quest is for more meaning, deeper peace, and greater inspiration, our primary desire is to find, experience, and maintain love.
But here's the thing most of us miss.
Our core love relationship is one with self—not from a place of ego or selfishness, but from recognition of the divine spark within. This relationship is the fertile soil in which we grow the garden of our lives, experience by experience.
Our inner terrain must be tended to with the utmost care.
The preparation of our soil with nourishing elements is imperative for our intentional seeds to grow.
The gentle removal of unwanted weeds by their roots allows us to bear the full bounty of fruits in our sacred gardens
Throughout history, our outward search has often led us collectively down a path of disconnection, dis-ease, and in many instances, vast destruction. In this time of great awakening—both personal and planetary—humanity is called to a new journey.
The path forward is through.
The direction is inward.
The doorway is through your heart.
The Divine Feminine Rising: Mary Magdalene's Call to Live from Your Love
The most precious and profound aspects of healing come through connection with the Divine Feminine. For each era of planetary awakening, there is an aspect of the Great Mother that ushers forward to illuminate the way forward. Mary Magdalene specifically represents this essence. She personifies the divine feminine in its most radiant and tangible form, teaching us the mastery of love, trust, surrender, and the sacred union of opposites.
Mary Magdalene beckons us to discover the infinite love within ourselves, replenishing our own cups first and transforming our relationships with the world. As a tangible aspect of the Goddess, she serves as an ally that encourages our inner feminine to RISE.
The rising of the divine feminine calls us to express our leadership, creativity, sensuality, and empowerment in ways that honor both our individual essence and our interconnection with all life.
This rising energy asks us to reclaim the aspects of the feminine that have been distorted, suppressed, or forgotten:
The fierce lioness that protects what is sacred
The nurturing mother who tends to all with compassion
The wise woman who carries ancient knowledge in her bones
The lover who celebrates sensuality as divine expression
Sound familiar? These aspects exist within all of us, regardless of gender.
The Sacred Breath: Your Doorway to Divine Presence
There is a Sioux saying that the longest distance is from the mind to the heart. The journey is not linear or logical. To live and love with an awakened heart requires clear intention and consistent practice.
The breath serves as our most immediate connection to spirit—to the life force that animates all beings. It is both ordinary and sacred, mundane and miraculous.
Breath draws you swiftly into presence, where there is no past or future, simply one moment ripe with possibilities.
Encapsulating all phases of the life pulse: expansion, contraction and stasis, breath is also both a source of liberation and fulfillment.
Carpe Diem. Try this Love Breath Practice now:
Take a gentle breath and an even deeper exhalation and invite in your intention of love. Repeat this at least twice. (A longer exhalation than inhalation activates your parasympathetic nervous system, calming your body and mind to a more restful and receptive state.)
Place your hand on your heart and listen. Can you hear the call from within? It is beckoning you inward to the Temple of the Beloved, your inner palace.
Close your eyes and envision yourself nestled comfortably within your heart. What does your temple look and feel like? Is it encrusted with jewels like rubies and emeralds? Is it a vibrant color? Does it smell like ancient woods, spices, and flowers? Or is it more sparse and zen?
Feel the unique beauty of your temple. Now, with your hand upon your heart. Affirm, “In my sacred human heart, I feel and receive my love.” See, feel, allow yourself to be bathed and blessed in love, from the inside outward. Immerse yourself in this beautiful, nourishing energy for 3 more breaths or until you feel complete.
The image that comes to you is a reflection of your spiritual nature in this moment. There is no right or wrong way for your inner sanctuary to appear. Whatever emerges is uniquely yours—a sacred space where your humanity and divinity meet.
Does it feel inviting, spacious, light, and free? If so, celebrate with a breath of gratitude and know that there is even more joyful wonder to explore and experience within you.
If not, honor it with a breath of acceptance and then release, letting go of the heavy burdens, emotions, and disappointments of the past. Stay with the longer exhalations. Know that in this moment, you are creating a new way forward through your breath. Imagery is a powerful tool of transformation, and your temple can be transfigured and adorned through your intentional practice.
The interesting thing about this process is that it bypasses the intellectual mind and speaks directly to your cellular memory. Your body remembers what your mind may have forgotten—that you are, at your core, divine love incarnate.
Mary Magdalene's Essential Teachings: Trust, Surrender, Sacred Union
Mary Magdalene exemplifies the path of love in action through her teachings of trust, surrender, and sacred union. These principles offer us a way to move beyond our conditioned responses into a more authentic expression of love:
Trust begins with trusting yourself—your intuition, your body's wisdom, your heart's knowing. When we develop trust in ourselves, we can extend that trust to others and to the divine order of life.
Surrender is not about giving up or giving away your power. It is about releasing the need to control outcomes and allowing life to unfold in its divine timing. Surrender requires courage—the courage to let go of our attachments to how things "should" be and to embrace what is.
Sacred Union (Tantra) is about the sacred union of opposites—masculine and feminine, human and divine, earth and sky. Mary Magdalene's teachings on tantra invite us to see all of life as sacred and to approach all our relationships with reverence.
These teachings help us reclaim our authentic power and reconnect with the strength and wisdom of the feminine, embracing both the fierce lioness and the gentle nurturing spirit within us.
The Divine Science of Love: Where Spirit Meets Form
From a scientific perspective, your heart has a complete neural network of over 40,000 sensory neurons. Similar to the neurons of the brain, they think, feel, sense, and remember, independently of the brain.
This is where science begins to touch the mystical—your heart literally has its own intelligence, its own way of knowing that is different from your mind.
The heart cannot reconcile the pain of past grief, betrayal, or sorrow through thinking or speaking alone. Although this process can be deeply therapeutic, it is not complete. The heart must feel the way through, though the path is not linear as one might wish.
When your heart becomes cluttered like a forgotten room filled with debris from the past, there is no space for joy, passion, and love to enter and consistently find a home.
Still not sure if this matters? Consider this: at the end of our lives, what we remember most vividly are the moments of deep connection and love we've experienced—not our accomplishments or possessions.
Your Next Step on the Journey
As you begin to reconnect more deeply with your divine essence through Mary Magdalene's teachings, you may notice subtle shifts in how you perceive yourself and the world around you. These shifts are signs that you're beginning to live from your love.
The journey of reconnecting with your divine essence is ongoing. Each breath, each moment of presence, each act of self-compassion brings you closer to embodying the love that you are.
In my next post, I'll share more about "Trust, Surrender, and Sacred Union" and how these principles form the foundation of Mary Magdalene's teachings. Until then, I invite you to spend a few minutes each day with the Love Breath Practice.
Can you think of anything more important than reconnecting with the love that you are?
