“Jealousy is a widely spread emotion. It comes to light whenever you have problems with your self-esteem, or when you think you have to compare yourself with others. You can particularly find this burdening emotion in partnerships, amongst siblings and in the job. You feel disadvantaged and think that other people are better than you. Some people even consciously use jealousy to specifically upset others, to take revenge or to exercise power over them. Therefore, look at yourself carefully the next time jealousy arises, and recognize what you come into resonance with. If you feel like a victim, abandon this role. If someone tries to manipulate you, don’t allow them. If anyone scratches on your self-esteem, concentrate on it, and try to strengthen yourself instead of being weakened. As soon as your jealousy gets less, you know that you have made a big step forward on your personal and spiritual path of development.” Mary Magdalene © transmitted through Ingrid Auer, 2014

“Show interest in other people’s needs, but watch your own boundaries at the same time“
“Over centuries you have been told that you have to care for other people and their problems unconditionally. It is extremely important that we look out for each other in families or in society. But offering help reaches a limit where the person seeking help is not ready to take responsibility for his/her own life and decisions. Or when the person even tries – consciously or not – to get energy from others, to boost up his/her own energy system. This is called neighbourly love, and it is alright for a short time. But in the long run you should watch your own limits, and that there is a balance between giving and taking. Otherwise you are in danger of being weakened and energetically drained, which neither helps you nor others.”
In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: St. Maximin – Mary Magdalene Grotto – St. Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume
“Today’s visit to the Mary Magdalene grotto was surely one of the absolute highlights of our spiritual journey. The weather angel looked out for us as it was supposed to rain, but didn’t. We arrived in Plan d-Aups and walked through a mystic forest, that supposedly consists of trees up to 1000 years old, to the grotto. Numerous kinds, aristocrats and popes walked on this path in the past centuries, because La Baume („The cave“) has been a well-known pilgrimage place since the 5th century. On the walk to the grotto, one also passes a larger-than-life cruxification-scene, which looks quite spectacular.
Standing at the entrance to the grotto, one has an amazing view of scenery of Eastern Provence, a region most commonly associated with Saint Maximin. As legend has it, Mary Magdalene lived in the cave for 30 years, to atone for her sins. The interior of the grotto houses two memorial sites as well as beautiful glass windows which depict scenes of Mary Magdalene’s life. Many of us could feel her energy and were touched by it.
After leaving the cave we drove to the basilica in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baum, which is dedicated to Mary Magdalene and Maximinus who are depicted by the main entrance of the church. The church is one huge commemoration site and depicts Mary Magdalene in various ways through paintings, sculptures, at the altar on carved or painted medallions. Especially noteworthy ist he golden ‚rose altar’ that depicts a view scenes of Mary Magdalene’s life and the carved pulpit.
In the church crypt one can view a sarcophagus that supposedly houses the human remains of Mary Magdalene. In addition, her head is displayed in a glass container behind the iron bars of the altar. The glas container is decorated with a golden mask in front, which can be removed. The reliquary is being carried through town during its annual procession.
Today our spiritual journey is coming to an end and we are celebrating with an evening meditation and dinner. It was a particularly harmonic, intense and transformative time together, during which many new friendships developed and existing friendships were deepend. Each of the participants went through his/her own transformation process during the course of the journey and could proceed towards his/her own spiritual developmental path.
The last few days were very touching and moving for all of us, at the same time we had a lot of fun and laughed together. We enjoyed eachother’s company, the excellent French cuisine and the exquisite French wine. Spirituality has nothing to do with being detached or with askesis, but can take place during one’s life on earth.
PS: Tomorrow, Gerd and I are traveling to Languedoc in order to prepare our Spiritual Journey 2014. …”
In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene: In the Footsteps of Sarah Tamar
“Even though it cannot be historically proven, one can assume that Mary Magdalene’s daughter, Sarah Tamar, together with Mary Magdalene’s family members and companions, was spreading the gospel in the region we are visiting today. The center of the Provence, Luberon, is only 50 km away from the well-known domain of Mary Magdalene.
After we left Gordes, we visited the small church Saint Panteleon, a place to which Gerd developed a personal connection, because in this spot he can get in contact with Panteleon. I went and got the keys from the village innkeeper so that we could see the church from the inside as well. Some of our participants could feel strong energy fields here.
The next destination was Lacoste, which has nothing to do with the brand. Fashion designer Pierre Cardin bought the run-down castle, which was onced owned by Marquis de Sade (1740 – 1814), restored it and transformed it into a museum of contemporary art. The brutality of Marquis de Sade were so legendary that the term „Sadism“ can be referred back to him. But we couldn’t feel anything of this gruel past as we were walking through the beautiful town. This provencial village with its stone-cobbled streets, stone houses and bell towers is certainly one of the sights one has to see if one travels through Luberon.
Afterwards, we continued our drive to Roussillon, a small village that is well known for its ochery houses and the red rocks. A stroll through the town leads us up the hill to a small church, where Jesus and Mary Magdalene are pictured in ist glass windows. Passing red and mustard-colored houses, we reached a beautiful scenic view point, which offers a grandiose view of the Luberon region.
Bonnieux is also one of my favorite villages, which is the reason why we stopped there for our lunch break. Streets and rows of houses cling to a small mountain and a small, simple-looking church thrones above the village. Small stores and restaurants line the street, which leads to Lourmarin. The view over the valley is breathtaking and on clear days, one can see all the way to Gordes. One can also see the tallest mountain of South France, Mont Ventoux, from the viewpoint in Bonnieux. The mountain top is white in the summer as well as in the winter, because it consists of white chalk stone.
I consciously chose the picturesque village of Lourmarin as today’s end destination, because this way we could take advantage of the opportunity to stay overnight in a provencial village (www.moulindeloumarin.com).
Some of us walked through the small side streets and alleys, some made the trip uphill to visit the church or walked to the castle. Others visited the small boutiques and the tyipcal french convenient stores.
In our evening medidation I was allowed to channel messages by Sarah Tamar, Elisabeth, Joseph, Salome and Mary Magdalene. We’ll have dinner in a few minutes and then it’s off to bed – we are all very tired.”
In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Seminar day in Gordes, Provence
„Even though Mary Magdalene has never been to the village of Gordes, because it didn’t exist in her time, it was my heart’s desire to show my group this wonderful place. Aix-en-Provence, where Maximinus was a bishop, is not far from there. The region of Luberon, where Gordes is located, is part of those regions in South France where Mary Magdalene and her companions spread their faith.
After a stroll through the town with its picturesque side streets and old houses, we went to the „La Bastide“ Hotel where our Mary Magdalene Seminar was taking place. In a wonderful seminar room with a view of Luberon, I transmitted live-messages of Mary Magdalene, Easa/Jesus, Sarah Tamar. Saint Germain and the saint patron of the town, Saint Firmin to the group. During the seminar, the participants had the opportunity to recognize and transform blockades and old behavior patterns with the help of the Mary Magdalene Symbols and the symbols oft he Ascended Masters.
Having lunch together on the beautiful hotel terrace was one of today’s highlights. The afternoon and evening were dedicated to relaxation and wellness in our hotel in Gordes. Tomorrow we will continue our journey with a drive through Luberon, because I want to show the group the most beautiful spots of this region
In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Tarascon – Les Baux – St. Remy-de-Provence – Gordes
„Yesterday was under the guidance of Martha of Bethany and her energy was especially strong. We visited the church in Tarascon that is dedicated to her, the sister of Mary Magdalene. In the nave and the chapels of the church we found various depictions of her in oil paintings, statues and a relief shrine. According to oral tradition, Martha’s home stood in the very place where nowadays one can visit the lower part of the church. Many of us could get in touch with Martha in this place.
Across the church one can visit an old castle; we only went in there briefly. The picture made of stone of the „Monsterous Tarasque“, which is located on the shore oft he Rhone was particularly funny to us. This creature terrorized Tarascon about 2000 years ago and was killed by Martha herself.
I also took the group to an abandoned quarry, which has been transformed in a magical world of colors, sounds and pictures. In a grandious lighting and sound show, beautiful pictures of the most famous impressionists were being protected onto the 15 to 10 meters high stone walls. It was a breathtaking spectacle for everyone.
After our lunch break in St. Remy-de-Provence we drove to Goult, a medieval village, which is located on a mountain crest. Just a few days before our tour, Gerd and I discovered a spot where once a Mary-Magadalene church was located, whose engery can still be strongly felt. The wonderful view of the place where we will be staying for the next few days was a beautiful ending to yesterday’s excursion.
The energetic highlight was the evening meditation, where Martha of Bethany announced herself via a live-message to the participants. Her words and energy were so present, so expressive and so overwhelming that many of us felt very strong emotions. I also channeled Mary, Easa, Mary Magdalene and arc angel Michael. Today we are looking forward to a seminar day in my favorite town of Gordes.“
In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Sts. Maries-de-la-Mer – Les Baux – St. Rémy-de-Provence
“Like the sparrows on the roof… today we enjoyed the magnificent view that the church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer offers of the surrounding scenery. Legend has it that around 2000 years ago, Mary Magdalene, Mary Jacobe and Mary Salome, together with Sara-la-Kali, landed in this place – a small village in Carmague – by boat after they were abandoned in Palaestina. This is a nice story that we don’t quite believe, because the group most likely landed in the harbor. The church itself is a memorial place for these four women whose energies can still be felt today.
On our way back to the hotel in St. Rémy-de-Provence we stopped in a small medieval town named Les Baux, which is situated high up on a rock formation. The view over the Provencial wine region is especially picturesque and made up for the fact that, due to technical reasons, we could not visit the Carrierres des Lumieres („Quarry of light“). If we do get to it tomorrow, I will certainly talk about it.
Before we’ll have dinner, we will get together for a meditation and channeling evening in order to process today’s impressions, exchange our thoughts and experiences and to listen to the messages of Mary Magdalene and her companions. We’re looking forward to a delicious dinner from the hotel’s excellent kitchen.”
In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Marseille – Aix-en-Provence – St. Remy-de-Provence
“Today’s trip was under the special guidance of Mary Magdalene and Lazarus, the first bishop of Marseille. Therefore, a visit to the crypt of Saint Victor, a place where Lazarus is being commemorated, was one of our main priorities. As we climbed down the stairs tot he crypt, where the first Christians of the Provence were baptized, we felt deeply connected with Mary Magdalene, her companions and everyone who lost his/her life for their belief. The crypt houses an impressive stone relief of Mary Magdalene and Lazarus, as well as a statue of the Black Madonna, which is being carried through the city during the annual procession. This statue symbolizes the „Mary, who came from the sea and who brought the gospel with her.“ We obviously knew which Mary it referred to. Afterwards, we had to hike up the steep hill to the basilica „Notre Dame de la Gare“, because our bus driver claimed that he couldn’t drive up the hill with the bus due to the narrow streets. The impressive square around the basilica offered a wonderful view of the city and the offshore islands. The interior of the church is decorated in the byzantine style with beautiful gold colored mosaics. On our way back to the bus we were surprised by an intensive thunderstorm and some of us got soaked. However, the storm could not diminish our good mood.
In Aix-en-Provence we got lucky with the weather and visited the Holy Spirit church as the sun was shining. The church windows display Mary and Mary Magdalene surrounded by the apostles. We also went to see the cathedrale Saint Sauveur, which houses a baptismal font from the times of Mary Magdalene’s immediate anchestors. Her companion Maximinus was actually the first bishop of this city.
In St. Remy-de-Provence we settled in a gorgeous hotel for two nights. The hotel’s winter garden was transformed into our meditation room, where we gathered before the delicious dinner. Before we started with the meditation and the live messages of MaryMagdalene, Lazarus, Salome, Mary and the „Angel for Effortlessness and Joy“, the participants discussed their personal experiences of the day. We look forward to tomorrow when we will tour Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.”
In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Meet & Greet… The Journey Begins
“This spiritual journey in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene is for me, personally, a journey with dear friends. Thus, I prepared every detail of this journey with love. Each of the participants, upon arriving at the hotel, received a welcome note, the new Mary Magdalene symbol cards, as well as a journey-symbol, specially made for this trip.
Because we’ll be staying at different hotels throughout our trip, we will encounter suitable seminar rooms to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, we took our basic equipment for our daily evening meditations with us, for example the hand-crafted original symbols of Mary Magdalene and her companions, as well as the angel and Master Aura Essences.
Last evening, Conny Wolf perfectly described our week together: „This spiritual journey is comparable with our life journey. Unforseeable things will happen, we will adjust ourselves to new and unplanned situations and we can look forward to all the things we will discover within and around us.“
This evening, the travel group met in the seminar room of the Best Western Airport Hotel to meet one another and complete an evening meditation. After everyone introduced themselves, I forwarded messages by Mary Magdalene, Simon Petrus, Anne and Sarah Tamar via a live channeling. The energy of the ascended masters was within our grasp. We are excited to see what the upcoming week is going to bring.”
In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: Our team is complete
Thankfully, Gerd and I checked the hotels personally one more time before the journey started – otherwise we would have experienced some unwelcomed surprises in regards to the seminar rooms and the food. The pictures show the little provencal town Lourmarin where we will be staying overnight next Thursday. (Check my Facebook page for more photos). Today in the afternoon, Lutz Mueck and his wife Conny Wolf arrived from Austria at our hotel in Marseille. Lutz will help Gerd and I with the organization and execution of the trip. He is also responsible for the energetic support of the participants, because we will definitely dive into old and sometimes intense energies (e.g. the crypt of St. Victor in Marseille, where the first Christians were baptized…). Certainly, some participants will feel those energies and strong emotions will come to the surface. As an experienced energy practitioner and seminar attendant, Lutz will make sure that all the participants will safely work through their individual processes.
