Welcome to your Daily Feminine Medicine.
Each day offers a small field of reflection to help you align with the rhythm of the cycles around us, and within.
Within this page you will find the daily Guidance, astrological influences and more on how the cycles affect us our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies.
I also share contemplative prompts, and embodied inquiries that support deeper listening to the Feminine wisdom within you.
Allow the practice to unfold naturally and take only what resonates.
Thank you for walking this path of Feminine remembrance.

Daily Reflection
Lunar Medicine Daily Reflection
As the ascending cycle enters the Solar Gateway, the Medicine Woman begins awakening within your Feminine Soul. Here, the creative life force cultivated through the Sacral Gateway begins transforming into embodied wisdom, personal power, and healing presence. Sovereignty is the acknowledgement of your capacity and your power, realizing the power inherent in your consciousness and what you choose to focus on and give energy to.
Today invites you to remember that your passion is powerful, directing your focus and attention. Your passion is also transformative and medicine– not only for your own life, but for the collective field we all share. Let yourself feel the power of your passion, allowing it to guide you as you choose where you put your attention today.
Astrological Influences
LIBRA — Keeper of Sacred Relationship
Feminine Lens: Harmony · Reciprocity · Beauty · Relational wisdom · Balance · Cooperation · Mutuality
Patriarchal Distortions: People-pleasing · Conflict avoidance · Loss of self in relationship · Dependence on external approval
Libra reminds us to bring greater balance, beauty, and harmony into the arena of our own power and sovereignty today. Perhaps we can remember to balance our passion with the passions of others, and our power with the power of those around us. Learning to be in relationship with another’s power in a way that does not diminish or disempower us, but instead expands our own passion, presence, and sovereignty.
To do this, we are invited to move beyond polarized thinking and courageously honor both our own needs and power, and those of another, without abandoning either.

Gateway
Solar Gateway: Sovereignty- Medicine-Healing
As the waxing Yin current continues its rise, the energy deepens within the Solar Gateway, inviting you to expand your sense of agency and power. Here you are reminded that you are the medicine—the medicine that lives within the qualities of your soul: your wisdom, creativity, love, joy, truth, and mystery. As you embody more of your whole self, you gain access to the healing and guidance already present within you. In this way, the Solar Gateway awakens your sovereignty, revealing that true fulfillment arises through intimate relationship with yourself and the divine dimension of your being.
Shadow Of the Gateway
Shadow of the Solar Plexus Gateway
From Self-Hatred (Solar Plexus Gateway) to Empowered Medicine
This shadow is the most violent, turning the wounds of the world inward. It is the internalized persecution that once came from church, state, and culture—now wielded against ourselves. Self-hatred feeds on powerlessness, comparison and the illusion that we are unworthy of our own power. It is the fire turned against itself—the sacred force of selfhood made toxic through distortion.
The Medicine: When transmuted, self-hatred becomes the embodied knowing of your true power—your essence, your sacredness, your rightful place in the web of life. It is the remembrance that you are not broken; you are the medicine. This is the Solar gateway’s fire restored to its purpose: to alchemize, to transform, to shine with unapologetic soul force. When we reclaim our sacred power—not as dominance, but as divine presence—we awaken the capacity to heal, to transmute pain into purpose, and to walk the path of inner mastery. This is not about perfection. It is about sovereignty.
Affirmation: I AM THE MEDICINE.

Written Embodied Meditation
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.
