and How to Use Them

My friendship with Gwenievere Maria has been a source of inspiration and joy over the years. In addition to observing her spiritual journey, I have had the pleasure of meeting her Alaskan shaman mentor and her Filipino healer teacher, and I recall her return from the Amazon rainforest where her sacred calling was fully revealed.

All of these adventures, and more, are discussed in this stirring narrative, a book that is not only sublime in its message but also practical in its application. It contains meditations and rituals that Gwenievere designed to empower and encourage her readers, facilitating their search for their own personal ministry.

One of the metaphors used by Gwenievere is that of alchemy, an esoteric practice that had its origins in Egypt. During the Middle Ages, alchemists were hired by royalty to turn base metals into gold.

This quest was unsuccessful, although alchemists were responsible for developing homeopathic medicine, porcelain, and a variety of metallic compounds.

These advances allowed the more philosophical alchemists to disguise their true mission, the transformation of their own base impulses into noble objectives.

On the other side of the world, Chinese martial artists, Tibetan lamas, and Indian yogis often spoke of inner alchemy and developed a series of meditative exercises to bring this about.

Gwenieveres ceremonies and rituals have been designed for the same purpose. Once her readers accept her invitation to begin their inner transformation, they will find that her eloquent passages can be read and re-read. The activities she recommends can be repeated and savored anew. One often returns to a beloved recipe so that a favorite delicacy can be enjoyed again; in much the same way, readers can return to the portions of this book that provided enjoyment and enlightenment.

In the Heart of God also helps its readers to find their own spiritual path. The chakra metaphor is especially suited for this search, and Gwenievere beautifully describes the role each of them plays in the dance of life. She prepares individual souls to unite with the soul of the universe, and points out how negative and positive forces in her readers lives can be transcended to attain wholeness.

This book can serve as a centering for people of any religious or spiritual philosophy, reflecting Gwenieveres deep wisdom and evoking ways of knowing that many readers did not realize were part of their repertoire.

This is a book that can be savored at many different levels, because it reflects the essence of humanity while it discovers and celebrates the songs of the cosmos.

In the Heart of God
A Journey Beyond Healing
Into the Sacred Realms of Creation
is your return home to the infinite and intimate
relationship with yourself and
your Creator.

I invite you to journey deep within, to where your soul finds harmony with its Creator, to that sacred place where true communion speaks to you through the same eternal vibration that creates the universe-that sacred place where the flame of spirit resonates in union with the vibration of your soul.

In the Heart of God takes you into the mystery and reawakens the memory of your soul. It is written as a sacred guide that will embrace you as your own inner alchemist, so that you may unify your life journey into a tapestry of magnificent beauty. You will be supported to awaken to your souls vibrational signature and transform your life experiences and cellular memories into inner healing medicine, wisdom and light.

As you journey through the narrow, winding path of the seven chakras, you will be called upon to choose your soul first. And as you do, you will find that your life destiny will unfold before you.

Then you will know that the Creator lives within you as a harmonic alchemy of love and, within this infinite presence, there is nothing to heal.

Imagine

Can you imagine living in a world where your thoughts,
dreams, and life experiences were necessary ingredients to
your own wholeness?
A world where attention to changing them
was not the key,
but instead receiving and allowing each necessary ingredient
to enhance and awaken the inner light within.

Rediscovering the Infinite Presence of Love

The universe and all of its beauty is within you as a harmonic frequency of love-a vibrational communion of pure energy. When this vibration is unified with your body, mind and spirit it naturally brings you back to the very essence of who you are.

This harmonic field of love is your unique soul vibration -the song of your soul. It takes you beyond healing, beyond fears of loss and emptiness, through the illusion of limited consciousness and into the Sacred Realms of Creation-where all things are held in the Infinite Presence of Love.

To receive the full benefit of this book, I invite you to read from your heart, and listen to the vibration of your soul, so that your inner truth can unfold before you. Then you will find that the messages written are already within you, just waiting to be realized.

In the first part of In the Heart of God, I share with you the heart of my journey and my story, as a metaphor and literary guide, for the sole purpose of supporting you in awakening to your own sacred path.

Part two will prepare you for the heart of your own journey, using the universal principle of the Eternal Flame-F-I-R-E, a four-step alchemy to enrich your DNA with the frequency of your soul-to integrate infinite presence, reverence and everlasting light.

The final part of this book will guide you through each of the seven chakras, with archetypal meditations and personal ceremonies to transform your fears and limitations into the Sacred Realms of Creation.

The words inscribed in this book are given to you as an integrated balance of guidance, structure and the heartfelt poetry of lifes rhythmic song.

May you feel embraced in the intention of each word, story, meditation and ceremony, and may the heart of your journey gently dance with the rhythm of your soul and guide you home.

Gwenievere Maria

The Heart of My Journey

The Heart of My Journey

It had rained all night and I awoke feeling the moist and virgin earth holding me. My journey alone, lost and afraid in the jungle that night, ended with a deep and profound wonder of life breathing through me.

I breathed-and in this one profound conscious breath-I found myself. I felt my body and I welcomed this life-giving breath moving through me. I, who I truly am, was the breath of life that found me and brought me home.
