“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda
I had quite an Epic pilgrimage yesterday to the "Secret" Divine Union Temple on Gozo's Eastern shore. I left the house at about 4 pm, and arrived at the Temple at 5:55pm, with just enough time to prepare to be in ceremony during the heart of the Eclipse.
The energies at the Temple were very nurturing and serene, and it was very powerful to be alone in nature on a New Moon night, and with the ecliptic energies. I stayed there until about 10pm, and didn't get home until about midnight. It was a full on adventure.
One of the potent pieces for me was the intense hike out of the location, which I did in the dark. I was gifted all manner of opportunities to work with being present and working thru fear, and I was reminded of the title of an insightful book I read years ago, called the "Fruitful Darkness" by Joan Halifax.
Which I felt was a relevant theme, to touch on in this transmission, at first sometimes we have to touch on the hurt places inside ourselves before we grow into what is longing to be created thru us. Sometimes we need to learn to sit in the dark and just listen, opening ourselves to receive, and learning to trust even when we are in the unknown.
Because this special place in nature is so tucked away, we’ve found that it is a safe place for emotions to naturally arise, it’s a place to pray, and do ceremony with all aspects of ourselves, learning and healing with the codes and revelations the earth so abundantly offers.

“The secret of life,” say the Ute Indians, “is in the shadows and not in the open sun;
to see anything at all, you must look deeply into the shadow of a living thing.”
― Joan Halifax
Before you Begin the Meditation:
I invite you to set up a personal Altar of Love, with elements that represent the Feminine & The Masculine, and any other items, that represent to you where you are at in your Journey with Love, Sexuality, and Relationship. Also place an item on the Altar that represents your inner child, and a few items that represent what you are currently creating or wanting to bring into form.
Questions to Explore and place on your Altar of Love before you begin the meditation.
What aspects of Feminine energy can I more deeply embrace?
What aspects of Masculine energy am I integrating at this time?
What shadow aspects am I now ready to embrace, letting love into the places I previously felt were unloveable?
What am I seeding into creation at this potent juncture of Beltane?
How can I serve the earth, inviting in, deeper an Eden on Earth, of Love, Joy and Innocence?
“love is the key to understanding of all the the mysteries.”
― Paulo Coelho
Before you Begin the Meditations:
Please find a comfortable quiet place in private to sit or lay, where you can deeply relax and receive the transmission undisturbed. Perhaps prepare a small altar with a candle, or bowl of water and some flowers. Take a few minutes to energetically connect with these sacred islands, and with the great seascape of the Mediterranean Sea, consider your intentions for your time spent with the recording and what you might like to receive while listening. When complete, if you like you can offer the water and flowers to the land where you are.
The Meditation/Transmission
This Transmission includes an Introduction to the site recorded live at the Divine Union Temple Site during the Heart of the New Moon Eclipse on Beltane Eve, 2022.
The Guided Meditation, is inspired by my time at the Temple and the Guidance that came to me in the following hours after my pilgrimage, in this recording I invite you to create your own Altar Of Love, guiding you on an inner journey to a safe nature temple sanctuary, where under the soft velvet mantle of night you have the opportunity to explore the “fruitful darkness” and your wounds of love, to return renewed and in more alignment with the Masculine and Feminine balance with in. Invoking the 5 Tantric Master Couples to help us in affirming a renewal to what we are creating at this time of earthly conception and fertility, while working with the earths Kundalini energies to anchor clear insight to what Path of Relationship we are committing to at this juncture in the Sacred Wheel. Blessed Be. Swaha!
To support these explorations this meditation on Sacred Union from my friend Miguel might also be enjoyable to listen to.
This picture captures the current of stone and earth energies in the Meridian that leads to the Divine Union Temple site lower in the valley and out into the sea for that matter. Then you can also see the alignment with Comino Island and Malta in the distance. It was an overcast evening, so this image doesn’t do the color justice, on a sunny day the Sea is a beautiful aqua color. But it does capture some of the grandness of the expanse of this area.
