Chapter 3: The Path of Strength and Courage
Rennes le Châteaux, France
January 10, 2020
I left Carcassonne with a feeling of protection and adventure. Protection because every minute of the journey so far had been orchestrated by a Higher Power. Adventure because I was ready to do whatever I had to do to achieve my goal. I was fearless and empowered by Purpose. I had understood the cause of sadness.
I had not met many people so far. However, like the Reiki practitioner in Carcassonne, those whom I met were purposeful encounters. These beautiful beings were like signposts. They indicated where I was on my journey, giving recommendations on where to go or how to get to certain places. Isn't it that those we met in our life journey are lessons or angels signposting our path?
The next stage was Rennes le Châteaux and Montségur, Cathar Country. The only way to visit this region at my own pace was by renting a car. That was an adventure —not easy to drive in a foreign country and let alone in a mountainous area.
Driving uphill to Rennes le Châteaux was an absolutely courageous act. The winding and steep road up to the village was a challenge. Many times, I wondered why I was challenging myself so hard. I had not driven a manual car for a long time. Was it first or second gear to go uphill? Do I press down the clutch and on the gas alternatively? Phew!
Rennes le Châteaux is a village dedicated to Mary Magdalene. There are about twenty-four inhabitants. Most of them are artists and writers. During my trip around this area, I was there twice. On my first visit, I found myself in a deserted village with no one around. I was intrigued once again that most of the places I had visited so far in the south of France were deserted, just for me. Yet, the feeling was good and inviting to go inside my heart quietly in silence. I was not afraid. It was fun to walk around a deserted village all by myself.
Every time I arrived at a place like this, church bells started to ring. It happened in Lourdes, in Carcassonne, in here, and also, in St Baume. Halleluiah! Every time, I felt as if I were welcomed to enter a sacred space like in a higher dimension. A combination of celebration, being on the right path at the right moment and being welcomed by a Higher Realm.
The second time I was at Rennes le Châteaux a couple of days later, I had the privilege to attend David Bailey's meditation dedicated to Mary Magdalene. He is a pianist who channels Mary Magdalene through his music. Since then, I've used his music to meditate, do energy sessions on clients or connect with Magdalene.
Activation: The Code of Strength and Courage to activate your Soul Purpose
I walked around the village. Everything was closed. The only café, the bookstore, the gift store, and the church were all closed. I sat down in an open area next to La Tour de Magdala. A magnificent and breathtaking view of the Pyrenees. It was cold and windy but sunny. I took my Heart of the Queen Litios crystal pendant out of my purse, took a deep breath, and asked:
"What am I doing here? What do I need to learn or experience?
This is an amazing place, but I haven’t come here only as a tourist. It is cold and deserted. I want to go back to the car. Please, I am open to listening."
I then felt the Heart pendant activated. My whole body got warm. I perceived that something important was going to happen. The warmth in my body was strong enough to keep me there, expectantly, sheltered from the cold and windy afternoon.
I was shown the Codes of Strength and Courage were being activated in me. My Heart chakra activated and expanded. A reddish Magenta Ray came through my Crown Chakra into my Heart, down to my Sacral Chakra, and then up to my Liver.
Magdalene showed herself in front of me. She was wearing a reddish magenta gown, the same colour as the energy moving through my chakras. She was holding a Golden Chalice. She handed it to me and told me to accept it as a gift and hold it in my Sacral Chakra. So, I did.
Magdalene speaks:
"This is the Golden Chalice. At this Now moment, at this stage of your Journey, the Golden Chalice I am gifting you with symbolizes Courage and Strength. Your Sacral Chakra, your Uterus, is your Creativity center.
By having Courage and Strength, the Creativity center is activated, and you can co-create and manifest your Purpose. It is from this center where Purpose is gestated in Union with your Heart chakra, Unconditional Love, and your Liver, which represents Action. When you feel you need Courage and Strength, close your eyes, take three deep and relaxed breaths, feel the Magenta energy coming through your Hara tube, expand your Heart, expand your Sacral Chakra, recharge your Liver and place your intention in your sacred Golden Chalice. See it grow and get stronger. Feel your Strength and Courage. Remember, you are the Golden Chalice, you are Strength and Courage.
