The mantra is the rose that weaves each day’s meditation
and practise into the magnificent rosary of holy action.

Blessings to you on this tenth day of this journey.
I promised to share a special ritual of devotion and blessings (puja) with you,
but I ran into technical difficulties with the video of an actual ceremony
which I was going to share. We will add the puja at a later date
in these thirty days.
Today I will share with you the Diksha of the Sacred Heart of Mary.
As you already know, a diksha is the sanskrit word in the Shaktism tradition
of tantra yoga for a blessing or downpouring of Grace from the deity.
As part of my training years as a shakta (as a devotee of my ishta-devi,
Blessed Mary) I was trained to receive and transfer blessings
and healing energy and invocations from the Divine to others.
I have worked with the Diksha of the Sacred Heart of Mary
in group blessings and also with many others in healing work.
I have witnessed instant healing and have many letters
from those who have received it distant and have felt
the benefits.
The Diksha of the Sacred Heart of Mary
The sacred heart refers to (amongst other esoteric meanings) the Secret
Chamber of the etheric heart which contains the three spiritual flames. The fourth chakra
of the heart initiates us into different levels of Love through which we
feel a vast sense of connectedness, compassion and eventually unconditional love.
The Sacred Heart Diksha opens the inner chambers of the spiritual and non-physical heart
and the living waters of Life starts to flow in ever-increasing amounts
creating a infinite well of consciousness that feeds all life.
A diksha can also be called an initiation or blessing.
It initiates the receiver into an aspect of spiritual energy and in this case it the
Sacred Heart of Mary.
The Sacred Heart is comparable to the sacred womb of the Divine Mother, or
the sacred embrace : the place where you find yourself divinely supported and
carried unconditionally.

VIII of Vessels, Miriam the Prophetess
The Hebrew Miriam is the first woman prophet mentioned in the Christian and
Jewish scriptures. In Greek Miriam is translated as Mariam and in English as Mary.
Thus we see that Moses’ sister has the same name as Mariam/Mary, the
Holy Woman in the mysteries of Mary. The scholar Phyllis Trible,
in her piece Bringing Miriam out of the shadows, argues that the
Song of the Sea is Miriam’s song of liberation of the Hebrew
people from Egypt. She and other feminist scholars, make the case
that the Song of the Sea attributed to Moses, should actually
be attributed to Miriam.
Miriam’s Song as a song of liberation is also echoed as the song of
deliverance sung by Virgin Mary as the Magnificat.
This is the start of the Miriamic or Mariamic tradition of the Priestesshood
of the Rose.
The Mysteries of Mary tarot deck start off with Mara, the Holy Fool
whose name is the root of Miriam/Mariam and means the bitter one.
Miriam’s name is also understood to mean ‘Bitter Sea’ (mar-yam) thus evoking
the bitterness associated with Miriam and her connections with water.
The story of Miriam’s well tells of Miriam’s prophetic water
divining ability. She could lead the people through the desert because
she could always find springs and riverbeds.
Wherever Miriam led, her people were assured of having water to drink.
In the sacred Gospel of Mary Magdalene by Tau Malachi we read that
a legendary well appeared in the desert wherever the prophetess
Miriam travelled with her people. In this tradition the well is called
Miriam’s well and it is a direct reference to Holy Mary and the outpouring
of her living waters of consciousness. The prophetess and priestess
of the Holy Mother will always lead others to the living Well of Divine waters.
Daily Prayer
Oh Mary, Mother of All, grant our hearts be filled with love,
compassion and peace no matter the circumstances of our lives
OM
Oh Mary, the Wise, grant to us ever wider eyes with which to see the
true power and beauty of your world and our world. Let harmony and
wholeness be established within all kingdoms.
OM
As it is above. so it is below
When you have said the prayer with intent and focus, pick up your rosary and repeat the daily mantra.
Please complete the rosary at least twice and a 108 bead mala at least once.
As you become more comfortable, or if you are already a seasoned meditator,
then repeat this mantra up to 6 times around the rosary.
For a mantra we use the rosary in the same way as we do a mala or prayer beads :
you move the beads one by one through your fingers, repeating the line of the mantra on each bead.
This mantra is to be repeated daily for seven days. The more we work with a mantra, the more
it vibrates through our cells and energy and transforms our mind and energy bodies.
Om Jai Mata Mary Ma
After the sacred mantra, you can repeat the Meeting Mother Mary meditation.
Sit quietly for a few minutes, just allowing yourself absorb the energy you have invoked.
Enjoy it …… feel the presence of the Sacred embracing you, flowing all around you.
We rejoice in our physical nature, appreciating this time to pause and remember the holy
purpose of our lives. We feel gratitude for those travelling with us on this path of love
and freedom. Feel a smile forming on your face. You are happy to be here in this
peaceful inner place. Let there be peace. Gently refocus on the outer world and carry this peace
with you into the world.
Close your communion with repeating the prayer again.
As you feel your heart filled with peace and gratitude to the blessings received from
Mary, the Rose of the World, you can scatter some of your fresh flower petals, or sprinkle some
of your blessed water, over her image.
thank you
thank you
thank you
And so it is.
