Daily Lunar Medicine Cultivation
BreathWork
1.      Place your hand on the corresponding physical location of today’s gateway. Feel the energy of your hands activating this gateway, as you slow down your breath and become present of your inner world.
2.     Notice whether today is yin rising (front body) or yang descending (back body). Begin today’s breath rhythm, and focus the breath on the gateway either toward the front or the back of the body, Breathe slowly and mindfully, letting go of all other agendas, worries, judgments or concerns… giving yourself time to just be with your breath.
3.     Continue this breath until you feel merged with the breath cycle, where the breath is breathing you—can be 5 min, 10 or 15 minutes.
Voice Activation
4.     Pause for a few seconds as we shift into voice activation. Continue your hand placement in the corresponding gateway.
5.     Gently begin to sound directly into the corresponding gateway, slowly… allowing the sound to move you. This is not performative, so it does not need to sound any particular way—no judgment, no good or bad. Allow your sound to come from deep within, organically, slow or fast, loud or low, high tone or low tone.  
6.     Continue the vocalization, until you naturally feel complete. Then allow yourself to pause and come into silence. Notice what has shifted; mentally, emotionally, physically somatically. Let yourself just observe—not making any conclusions.  Allow yourself to be present, in silence, for a few minutes, just noticing. 
Integration: Humming, Vision, Breath
7.     Become aware of the body of the moon, at today’s phase.
8.     Envision the body of the moon at the corresponding gateway in your body and allow yourself to breathe into Her.
9.     With each breath, envision the body of the moon grow expanding larger and larger within you.
10.   As you breathe, add in gentle humming with each exhale—allowing yourself to fully merge with Her body.  Breathing slowly, humming gently and envisioning the moon growing with each breath.
11.    As the moon grows, allow it to encompass your physical body completely, and grow past the physical boundaries of your body. Slowing and gently, through breath and humming, the moon ends up holding you—as you see yourself sitting within the body of the moon.
12.   Continue a few breaths here, until you feel completely dissolved and merged with Her. 
13.    Allow the body of the moon to completely surround you, hold you, and nourish you.
14.   After a few minutes allow yourself to come into completion, bowing in gratitude, to the moon, the Universe and Source Mother all around you.
15.   Allow the gratitude to expand through your heart… and out in to the world.
