During these challenging times, we are Blessed that Joan of Arc has stepped forward to share this and we are Blessed that you have opened up to recieve the message and willing to share it. I recieved much more than I expected. I find it difficult to describe the experience, except to say that it was a Sacred Moment and I am honored. Zena Briggs Sarasota Women's Meditation Group What a meditation we had on Friday night! 55 women came to hear Mary Magdalene channel and author of The Heart of Love - Mary Magdalene Speaks, Gail Swanson lead us in a golden diamond light of initiation. Many declared this was the most powerful and meaningful meditation we've every experienced as a group. The synchronicities in planning and the visual journey that Gail led us on could not have happened without a guiding power behind all of us. On Friday night Gail led us in what many have called "the most remarkable and powerful meditation we've ever experienced." It was a Mary Magdalene Initiation called, "Journey of Remembrance." Given the extraordinary coincidences that occurred leading up to Friday's meditation it does go down in the journals as one of the most powerful experiences in our three years of guided meditations. Our altar was the completed Crystal of Peace Mandala, along with 10 of the children's mandalas. Pink, yellow, and red rose petals from our rose garden decorated the the altar and area around the mandalas. Our rose bushes haven't bloomed in months but this past week, dozens of roses blossomed giving us more than enough petals for the altar. Interestingly, this morning only two rose buds are left to bloom. Upon arriving, Gail exclaimed when she saw the altar, "Are those rose petals?" She said, "You'll see why the roses are important when we get to the meditation." Carrying the "rose theme" further and without any planning or coordination, Madri who's been blending essential oils for each session, said she was compelled to bring "rose" essential oil. With Patricia Cockerill toning each woman with the chant of Om Tare Tu Tare, Madri annointed each person's palm with rose oil. Then Gail began with a Magdalene prayer setting our intentions for the meditation. The meditation itself was visual, descriptive and experiential. Everyone could feel the arrival and presence of the essence of Mary Magdalene who was crowned with roses. Without giving too much away, Gail's voice gently described the channeled information she'd been given as we experienced the collective consciousness of 55 souls joined in the unmistakable sensory feelings of a Divine Feminine initiation into our golden diamond prisms. Throughout the meditation some reported smelling roses or experiencing tingling in the crown or third eye chakras. Others felt movement of air whooshing by their heads or shoulders as the Archangel Michael essence was invoked to remove old patterns which no longer served us. Coincidentally, the initiation took place as the full moon's emotional lunar energy entered the intense mystical sign of Scorpio on Friday night. After meditation there was a collective pause as everyone sat still, not wishing to change the mood, atmosphere or vibration in the room. Then spontaneously we began to sing Amazing Grace. It was truly Amazing Grace for the many who came to this amazingly powerful and grace-filled meditation. Jo Mooy visionary artist, co-leader of Women's Meditation Group The Mary Magdalene Meditations are heart opening and transformative on many levels. Gail reminds you of your own sacredness and soul remembrance with warmth and spiritual power, an initiation into the feminine that every woman's soul not only needs, but requires. Gail Condrick You have such a beautiful gift to be able to share with us and help us. I feel so strongly that you have inspired me and changed my way of looking at things and dealing with things in a positive way. You introduced me to a new dimension of life and it was well worth it. Carolyn Davis Thank you for the very rare opportunity you offered to be in the shared space of such unconditional, pure love. Wow...I quickly felt able to safely open myself to it, to experience it directly from my deepest core, to BE that essence again...what a gift. All the ego facades dropped away and we were reduced to our childlike selves, trusting, open, joyful & loved/loving. It lasted too! I'm still feeling the profound effects. Your example set the tone, it was clear that your genuine wish & excitement was about sharing the material and energies that would come through, knowing how evocative that would prove to be for everyone. What an awesome being you are/we all are! I hope many, many others will get to have that experience with you too. Sheila Burns Thank you for a wonderful experience. All I had to do was close my eyes, take a deep breath, and through the vibration of your voice I was able to travel through time and space to connect to who I am. Judy Moger I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I deeply appreciated being invited to join this group. I really felt and still feel privileged to have been a part of whatever we were doing there (I don't even know how to describe it with words!). I also felt really privileged to be doing work with such wonderful, beautiful souls as the group of women we had coming back each week. I have never done any energy work that intense or powerful before in my life (and I have done some pretty intense things!). I certainly experienced a great deal of healing, even if a lot of the time I had no idea what the heck was going on! I've also not really been very in touch with my feminine aspect most of my life, so this was really a blessing for me (despite the "growing pains" each week). Not only did I get to access and tune in with my own feminine side through the Magdalene energy, but I also got to connect with the divine feminine in myself, the other women in the group, and also in bringing in the essence of the Magdalene herself. Thank you so much. Andrea Shay I'm writing you regarding my experience with the meditations and attunements. I would have written my testimonial sooner, but was unable to do it due to temporarily not having a home computer. I guess it worked out for the best, because it's been over two weeks since the fourth one and I'm still experiencing it and can write you about it. Whereas, if I'd writen sooner, we wouldn't know that it could last so long. It's literally the Gift that keeps on Giving. The Peacefulness I felt didn't end with the sessions. In situations where I might usually have gotten upset, I was able to remain calm and I found that my reactions had changed. Therefore, I believe that I've changed form the inside. Not only that, but you've given us tools that we can use forever, i.e. The Path of Forgiveness meditaiton can be done whenever we need it. Thanks for taking the time to both learn and share this.
