Welcome,
Dear one.
Come exactly as you are.
Find a comfortable position,
Seated or laying down,
And let your shoulders soften.
Un-cleanse the jaw,
And if it feels good,
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
Take a slow breath in through the nose,
And a gentle breath out.
Let's do that again.
Take a slow breath in through the nose,
And a gentle breath out.
And let your body hear this.
Right now,
You don't have to hold anything.
You're allowed to be held.
Imagine you're walking towards your garden in the early evening.
The light is soft.
The world is quieter.
And with each step,
You return to your body.
Too steady?
Patience earths beneath you.
You arrive at the garden gate.
And you sense it.
A subtle shimmer.
That living intelligence that moved through leaves and roots and tiny wings.
See yourself moving into the garden.
Until you arrive in the center of this garden.
And here in this space,
We create our sacred circle.
In the east,
We invite the fairies of the morning dew.
Not loud.
Not fleshy.
Just a clear brightness in the air.
Like clarity returning.
And just hear the whispers.
Keeper of the east.
Bring fresh breath and clear beginnings.
To the south,
We invite the salamanders of the fire light.
Gentle alchemists.
Warmth without force.
Courage that doesn't need to prove itself.
And listen to the whisper.
Keeper of the south.
Bring steady heart and gentle action.
In the west,
Invite the moon moths and night bloom guardians.
They understand emotions.
And they know how to carry tenderness safely.
Listen to the whispers here.
Keepers of the west.
Bring calm waters and intuitive trust.
In the north,
Invite the old tree spirits.
Deep roots.
Quiet protection.
And time-tested steadiness.
And just listen to the whispers.
Keeper of the north.
Bring safety,
Strength,
And belonging.
Above you,
Sense the starlight weavers.
Luminous guidance.
The threat of destiny held with kindness.
And just listen to the whispers here.
Weavers above.
Keep me aligned with what is true.
Below you,
Feel Mother Earth.
Rich soil,
White presence,
And steady love.
And listen to the whisper.
Mother below,
Hold me,
Restore me,
And bring me back.
And feel how the circle is complete.
Soft.
Protective.
Alive.
And in this garden circle,
You can hear the soft pause.
This beautiful,
Majestic cat arrives.
With her magical name,
Mariela.
Maybe she looks exactly as she does in your home.
Or maybe you sense her as her spirit self.
Luminous.
Calm.
Playful.
Wise.
She comes close with the simple cat knowing.
I belong here.
And you belong with me.
She sits near you.
And you can feel her purr.
Not just sound,
But vibration.
A frequency that smooths the air.
Let your nervous system notice.
Nothing to do.
Nothing to fix.
Just being with love.
Just take a moment to be here.
To be with this.
Now connect with your inner hearing.
Receiving her words.
Hello,
My love.
A connection is not by accident.
Just take a breath in with that.
The paths are clearing.
And I was waiting for you.
And let that just land in your heart.
I came to soften the edges of your days.
To bring you back into your hands.
Your breath.
Your quiet.
And you may feel your body respond.
A little more space.
A little bit more ease.
And just connect with here you are.
In this energy.
Of harmonizing.
Feeling that support when tension rises.
To remember there is a balance.
When emotions swell.
And you can move through the home.
And find the small blessings.
And just breathe.
And feel the connection of the garden that you are part of.
The garden that you are standing in.
Feel the garden around you.
Listening.
Holding.
Feeling.
Feel within the garden the mystical ones.
The keepers.
And the old nature intelligence.
Feel it like the weather.
Like music.
And then connect with the heart of it.
Feel how this beautiful cat.
Helps you to rebalance.
Feel how you are standing with one paw in the mystical.
And one paw in the earth.
And let it settle into your belly.
Into your roots.
Mariella offers you four gentle invitations.
Practical magic.
Follow your own guidance to connect with one.
Or two.
Or all four.
Or just let them play their music while you watch.
The first invitation.
Tense the grounding magic.
Imagine your hands in the soil.
Watering a plant.
Touching a stone.
Simple.
Daily care.
Connect with the second invitation.
Let your home be gentle.
See the softer pacing.
Softer eyes.
The sanctuary energy returning.
The third invitation.
Play like it matters.
See Mariella bringing you a toy.
And you saying yes.
Not because you have time.
But because play clears the air.
Because play removes stuck energy.
And the fourth invitation.
Trust the timing.
Feel this truth.
You don't miss out.
You're always guided.
And this beautiful cat comes closer.
And curls into the place where you hold your heart.
Feel her purr moving through your ribs.
Your throat.
The back of your head and down through your belly.
Into your legs and feet.
A steady hand that says,
You're not doing it alone anymore.
And as she purrs,
The garden around you responds.
The fairies brighten the air.
The tree spirits deepen your roots.
The moon moth softens your waters.
And mother earth steadies everything.
Your body remembers.
This is what safety feels like.
This is what harmony feels like.
This is what being held feels like.
And now take a moment and place your hands on your heart.
And whisper,
Thank you,
Maria.
Thank you,
Garden keepers.
Thank you,
Mother earth.
Feel the circle become subtle.
Not gone,
Just integrated.
A gentle,
Slow glow that stays with you.
Take a deep,
Long breath in.
And a slow breath out.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And when you open your eyes,
Do it slowly.
Like returning from a sacred space.
You are guided.
You are supported.
And you are not alone.
Welcome back.
And welcome home.
