BE YOUR OWN FATHER

My work is deeply focused on the divine feminine, hence the “Mama” of Mama Medicine. I feel we’ve been collectively out of balance with our masculine and feminine energy for decades and I’m here to do my part in trying to restore that balance. In the coming weeks though, I’m working a bit with Divine Masculine energy because I live in the northern hemisphere where the sun is reaching his mighty exultation, shining brightly to fully support growth.

All of us and all of nature have both masculine and feminine energy. We are in balance when we can allow our action-oriented masculine energy to support our intuitive feminine energy. And it is through the empowerment of our masculine energy that our dreams help us grow, reaching towards the potential that will later give cause to celebrate.

This is the time to honor and acknowledge your own divine masculine energy and the divine masculine archetypes and talismans that have shown up for you; Dad, Sun, Brother, Partner, Mountain, Friend, Pointy Stone and Spiky Plant. He has helped you make things happen in your life; get yourself out the door, prepare for the future and take action on all the things your feminine wisdom has inspired you to do to be your own healer. He has helped you to know yourself in the confidence of compassion.

ritual for being your own father

This week, take time to show gratitude to a powerful father figure in your life. My favorite way to do this is to be sure to spend the week waking up slightly before the sun, getting outside somewhere that faces east and creating a Sungazing Ceremony. This is a wonderful practice to do alone but can also be powerful to do with willing members of your community. The practice of Sungazing reveals why waking up early can make you feel like you can accomplish anything…
Wake up slightly before dawn and find a place to sit or stand comfortably while facing east.
As the sun rises, softly open your eyes and gaze into it.
When you need to, close your eyes and take a little break. Then, open them again.
Repeat for about ten minutes then keep eyes softly closed for ten minutes of meditation, feeling the rising sun on your skin.
Mist yourself with some of the New Moon Love Potion you made last week.
Notice how you feel.
