Pathway Of The Rose | A Meditation With Mother Mary

Originally shared during a live Mother’s Day gathering, this gentle meditation journey invites you inward through the Pathway of the Rose and into the loving presence of Mother Mary.

As you move through the spiral of the rose, you are guided to soften, release and reconnect with the love that already exists within you. Through breath, imagery and intuitive guidance, this meditation creates a space to feel held, heard and supported without judgment.

This is a meditation for anyone longing for compassion, emotional healing, nurturing, or a deeper connection to the mother within. A space to rest, receive and remember that every part of you is worthy of love.

And just allowing yourself to exhale as you come back into your centre, Returning inward, Softening into the heart space, Allowing yourself to just sit in the heart and if you need to place your hand on your heart you can and just tap it gently, Perhaps smelling in the fragrance of the essential oil, Imagining the rose oil that I have placed upon my pulse points and my hands and inhaling that. And then just allowing yourself to just sit in your heart for a moment and look around, Use all of your senses and when I say look around I mean with all your senses, What are you perceiving in your heart space right now, Does it feel constriction, Does it feel expansive, Does it feel dark, Does it feel light, Does it feel comforting, What does it feel like, Just observing with no judgement and then we're going to go on a journey together to the back of the heart and so just using your imagination, Don't let your mind grab onto this, Just flow, Just surrender into the energy, It's truly the energy that's doing the work, Not the words, You don't have to understand what we're doing, Just move with the flow of the energy and know that it is doing the work, You may even fall asleep, None of that matters, Just your presence and your willingness and intention to go deeper inside to your love. So making your way now to the back of your heart, Whatever way feels right for you, To a golden door, So just visualising a golden door and as you get closer to the door, The door swings open very gently and you step out onto a path, Look down at your feet, Maybe you observe what is on your feet, Perhaps your bare foot, Perhaps you have slippers, Perhaps you have feet covered in beautiful shoes of light, Crystals, Whatever it is, It's your personal journey, Look at the path itself as it stretches out into the distance, What does that look like, Perhaps there's a texture, A feel, Warmth, Coolness, Lightness, Just observing and take your first steps out onto the path, Maybe you even notice what you're wearing, I feel for many of you, As soon as I said step onto the path, It felt like you stepped onto the path in all of these beautiful robes of light but you can experience it any way that is right for you, Looking down at the path again and observing there are rose petals forming a trail for you to follow, Begin to follow these rose petals and as you touch each one along the path, Something within you shifts, A softening of the heart, A lifting of the spirits, Feeling some joy, Maybe other emotions are arising, This is all preparation to enter the rose, Continue walking and then slowly lift your gaze and notice in the difference a beautiful glowing light, As you move closer to that light you notice that it is in the shape of a rose, A giant rose and as you get closer you notice that there is an entryway between the petals, Between the outer petals, You come closer to the petals and you enter the pathway of the rose and you pause for a moment, You notice the velvety texture of the petals beneath your fingertips, Stretch your hand out and touch, You notice the exquisite colours unfolding around you, Perhaps your rose has a specific colour or it shifts and changes, There is an exotic fragrance of the rose filling the air and beneath it all, The soft whisper of love calling you inward, Your invitation to move into the rose, Beginning to walk gently around the spiral pathway, Moving closer to the centre and as you move deeper along the pathway, Sensations of peace and calm and love begin to surround you, Moving closer to the centre as you walk the spiral pathway, Leaning inward, The journey home to love and as we walk along this path, As you soften and open to this love that is permeating everything, There will be moments where you feel the need to pause and just release, Shedding old pain, Perhaps shifting grief, Moving forward and perhaps pausing and shifting expectations, Moving forward and perhaps coming up against a wall of pressure and just allowing that to drop away and maybe the next pause brings a layer of guilt that is ready to be released, With each moment that you pause, Just take a deep breath in and exhale releasing, Shedding these layers, Gently walking step by step in your own time and rhythm, Letting your heart guide you, Letting your soul call you, Is it time to release old stories, Is it time to release fear, Walking, Calling you home, Love, Compassion, You are held, Maybe it's time to observe the ways you have abandoned yourself, In order to be loved, Perhaps we could release that, Moving forward, Feeling the pull of your soul, The Divine Mother calling you, Calling you home, You are loved, You are worthy, Calling you home, Coming closer to the centre with every step, The energy of love is palpable, And in that energy of love, There is no place to carry these burdens and so perhaps letting these burdens be released, You no longer need to carry, With each step, Allowing another layer to soften and gently fall away, In the distance, Rising up from the centre of the rose, You see the golden stamens rising from the heart of the rose, If you are not close yet, Come closer now, Until you are at the point where you enter the centre of the rose, Observing these large golden stamens rising up from the heart of the rose, Forming a column of golden light, When you are ready, Step forward into the golden light, The column of light, If you feel any pressure, Any resistance to stepping in, Just take a deep breath and know that you are here for a reason, And just allow yourself to surrender and move into that light, You are safe, You are surrounded in love, You are now entering the rose temple, As you step into the golden light, Perhaps the light is very bright, But as you become accustomed to the light, You look around and you see yourself in the rose temple, And that rose temple will appear to you in whatever way feels right, There is no right or wrong, But there is a beautiful circle, A place where it looks like you can go and join the circle, And you do so now, And as you place yourself in the circle, You feel the nourishment, The safety, The belonging, And perhaps that itself brings up emotions, For maybe you haven't felt like you've belonged for a very long time, You are being welcomed exactly as you are, And you know in this moment that you are in the right place, Take a moment to orientate yourself here, Enjoy the moment of belonging, Safety and love, Breathe it in, And as you sit here gazing into the middle of the circle, You feel a shift, A change, A slight altering of the energy, A presence emerges from the circle towards you, The shades of softest blue, Azure, Aquamarine and sapphire emanate in rays from this divine being, You are worthy of being here right now in this presence, There is no ego here, A gentle cloak of light settles around your shoulders in the exact shade of blue that you need, You feel sensations of immense peace, Immense calm, Immense love, She has come to bless your tears, She has come to listen to you, She is here to give you permission to cry and to feel, You are worthy of love, And every part of you is worth loving, It is though Mother Mary herself meets you, Eye to eye, Heart to heart, You stretch out your hands towards her, She takes one hand and she places it on her heart, She takes your other hand with hers over it and places it on your heart, She looks deeply into your eyes and she speaks, For a moment you don't understand how the words are forming, You take a moment to realise that she is speaking straight into your heart, And as you breathe in the words begin to crystallise, You are here today beloved ones, Children of my heart, For your heart has been called to show others how to love, You have walked the path of the rose and you are now initiated, For you were called here today for this mission, It begins with you beloved, My dear child, For it is time for you to understand the depth of my love for you, That you have always been loved, When your tears fell I was there, When you were angry I was there, When you were lonely I was there, When you were lost I was there, You have never been alone and you never will be alone, I am here, I will always be here, For I am a part of you, I am you, I am compassion, I am love, I am strength, I am power, I am truth, I am integrity, I am security, I am safety, I am you, Remember, Remember, Remember who you are, For I only see your magnificence, I only see your courage, I only see your truth, I only see your love, For that is all we are and our essence, At times we have forgotten and I am here to remind you, I am here to show you, In this moment, Your true magnificence, Allowing those words and any other words that are now to come for you as an individual, To be received into your heart, Not your mind, Not your ears, Your heart, Breathe in her blessing now and open your heart and receive, Receive the awakening, The remembering, The returning home to love, Perhaps something shifts within you, Perhaps veils that have been covering you slide away now, Revealing your light, Your truth, The truth of who you are, In front of you now is no longer the image that you first saw, It is a brighter light, A more magnificent light, And that light is you, You are no longer gazing into Mother Mary's eyes because she has become you, You are Mother Mary, Look into those eyes and see yourself, She is revealing you, She is your mirror, Do not look away for that bright light is you, Do not be afraid, Do not be afraid, Do not be afraid, And as you gaze into that light and now merges with you, You feel it in your heart once again, And then the image of Mother Mary returns, And in her hands she is holding a gift for you, Perhaps it is a rose in a particular colour, Perhaps it is a symbol, Perhaps it is a word, Colour, A message, A feeling, It is a blessing for you to take home, Look down into her hands and notice now, Receive the gift and place it in your heart, Place your hands on your heart and hold it there now, And if your mind is saying I can't see it, I don't know, Just relax and breathe, It is in your heart, You will know, You will know when the time is right, What that symbol is, What that gift is, It could be a feeling, A moment, A memory, A colour, Do not overthink it, Just receive, Taking this with you as a reminder of the love that already lives within you, Mother Mary steps away into the middle of the circle, The light starts to dissipate, But the energy, The frequency remains, For it remains in each and every one of you, Take a moment to sit in this now, To integrate, Perhaps taking a breath or two, And now you notice that people are slowly standing and leaving the circle, And this is a returning, You walk back through the rows, But it is not a walking away, It is a returning home, Continue to walk, It is a faster walk, Gently moving through the circle, The spiral of the rows, Leaving the rows now and seeing the path ahead of you, And seeing in the distance the light of the golden door, Moving towards that door, Returning to the heart, Moving all the way there through the door and into your heart, Returning, Returning, Returning, And as you sit in your heart, Breathe in and out of your heart, Allowing the energy to fill your room as you breathe in and out of the heart, And through the breath, The returning to the breath, Following the breath, Feeling the sensations of the breath in your body, As your diaphragm expands, As your heart expands, Returning to body, Feeling your body sitting on the chair, Feeling your body, Perhaps moving and adjusting, Feeling your body, And whether there's been any changes, Do you feel different? Just wriggling your fingers and toes, Maybe giving yourself a little hug, And just before you open your eyes, Just remember that gift, Bring that gift into the room as you open your eyes, And gently now, Coming all the way back,
