Mother Mary by Leandro de Souza reknown Master Carver from Brazil on altar cloth made by Cheri Melton
I feel grateful to have had the energy of MariEL come into my life. And so blessed that my guides and MariEL mentors want me to teach this, and to bring it out into the world again. This beautiful carved stone statue lives with a dear friend and MariEL heart-worker who also channels Mary.
She shared this message from Mary for me to share with you:
Greetings, my beloved. The winds of time are blowing. Change is imminent. You are flowing with the change. Know you are blessed and carry on. Bask in the light flowing down and around you. Know yourself for you are beautiful, a beautiful reflection of the Divine. Sparkle with the radiance of the timeline you transverse. Be mighty, but gentle. Be firm, but kind. Be love!

Sourcing MariEL
MariEL was founded by Ethel Lombardi, who was one of the original 22 people made Usui Reiki masters by Ms. Hawayo Takata. Ms. Takata brought the lineage of Usui Reiki from Japan to the west, and thanks to her it has become worldwide. Ethel was working with Usui Reiki until she was visited by three beings dressed in cloaks in the early 1980’s. She called them “the Monks” and they brought her this healing modality that channeled the combined energy of the Divine Feminine and the Elohim. The energy of Mary was strong as a Divine presence, and the Elohim that she described were “Angels of Divine Presence” that can be imagined as Divine Source’s builders of form who’s loving light supports everything in the multiverses.
My teacher, Cheri Melton, received attunements and notes with the symbols under the names of MariEL Healing and MariEL Reiki, from two former students of Ethel’s after Ethel’s death, but there was little teaching. Cheri’s contribution has been the re-dreaming of MariEL. She channeled additional information that blossoms MariEL into a modern modality that benefits the time and space the New Earth is birthing herself into, and that humankind is becoming. She brought in energy medicine techniques from her shamanic training and through channeling was shown additional ways to use the symbols and new variations of them. She created a manual that works like a guidebook which she offered at no cost. I have been using and teaching from the manual for the past ten years with her blessing. The manual’s purpose is to offer us access to our personal source of self-healing, nourishment and sacred power. Take what works for you and leave the rest.
Why is the manual open to all and free? The MariEL’s want it to be. They know how much healing is needed now for humanity and Gaia. As you tend to yourself and raise your consciousness - you bring others with you just by proximity. As within - so without. The energy of MariEL has a wisdom of its own and comes to those who are open.

Receiving MariEL
Because the manual is free, you can download it and start working with the symbols and methods right away. However Cheri found that the crown symbol is not fully activated until one has an attunement. And attunements from others who have had attunements amplifies the connection and energy so much! So I do offer a workshop in MariEL, where we go over much of the manual, but I also share additional information and an additional symbol of Ethel's that came to me from one of her students. It is also an opportunity to become part of a community of practice and to connect with others who live from their MariEL hearts.
I offer this on a donation basis by request, and sometimes in a group workshop a couple times a year.
The Divine Feminine and MariEL Medicine
From an article I wrote 11/27/2017
Anyone can work with the Divine Feminine. She is in everything. When the Divine Feminine comes into your life and wants to work with you, it is a call to your heart. I was always open to Her, even though I got very little of Her at the Lutheran church my parents took me to when I was a child. Mother Mary seemed to play such a bit part in the bible studies we had, but I was able to connect with Her later in my studies of Eastern theology and European Wicca. I explored Goddesses in all their forms and archetypes, and read wonderful spiritual authors like Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Caroline Myss that delved into Her myths and mysteries.
I was primarily working with the mental plane with information though, I did not know how to really connect with Her on a spiritual level until I started training in energy work with an intuitive teacher. In our classes my fellow students were connecting with their guides and Spirit all around me, but I wasn’t getting anything I could clearly relate to. On the last morning of the four-day class, before I left the house I asked my Spirit guides to please connect with me so that I could know they were there. On the way to the class driving down the highway, a car decided to move into my lane while I was still in it. As that happened, some force immediately took the steering wheel and moved my car out of the way and it missed me by inches. Heart still pounding, I related my story to the class, and the knowing that my guides were with me right then, but still such a mystery to me. The teacher then had me get on the table and began a demonstration of how to use crystals in energy work. As she rolled two quartz crystal balls up my legs and torso I got the sense of being filled with a pure white light that was blinding. A powerful yet loving feminine presence surrounded me, I could sense Her and I knew She was the source of all Goddesses and Divine Feminine energy. Tears streamed down my face as I knew Her and could hear Her speaking to me.
I did not have another experience as powerful as that with Her until I took a class and attunement in MariEL Medicine. My Usui Reiki teacher, Kelly Jackson, recommended MariEL to me when she felt my bond to the Goddess energy. Two amazing things happened when I took the MariEL class. First, I was introduced to the Divine Feminine in a healing form that anyone can open a spiritual channel to by having an attunement and working with the symbols. The second was that the teacher, Cheri Melton, became a dear friend and mentor to me in spiritual work.
Although MariEL Medicine describes perfectly what I learned from Cheri, I added the “Reiki of the Divine Feminine” to it to reflect the Usui roots of its founder, Ethel Lombardi. She was a student of Hawayo Takata, the woman who brought Usui Reiki from Japan to North America. Ethel was in a deep meditation when she was gifted with the healing modality of MariEL brought to her by three beings dressed in cloaks which she called The Monks. She taught it as a heart centered, feminine practice that channels the energies of Mother Mary and the Elohim, which are said to be part of the Godhead who assisted in the creation of the universes. Cheri channeled additional information in part from Mary and Ethel in a re-dreaming of the modality for the modern times, as the Divine Feminine is rising and the earth and her inhabitants are shifting into a new vibration of potential.
As I look back to that first experience with Her in that class twelve years ago, I can only marvel at the workings of Spirit that brought me to where I am today. I feel honored that I can offer the teachings and attunement of MariEL Medicine as part of my devotion to loving service of the Divine Feminine. It has deepened my spiritual bond with Her, and opened my heart to the river of compassion and strength that flows out from Her. For that I am truly grateful.
