How to Make Your Own Queen Yoni Steam

Give Your Womb the Royal Treatment She Deserves

Yoni care is just as important as skin and hair care! It’s important we create time and space to show love and appreciate to our womb space. As women, we carry a magical energy within us; we carry the cosmic energy that creates life itself. Honoring this gift placed within us is apart of our sacred self care routine.

Throughout history, the presence and power of the divine feminine been severely suppressed. Not only suppressed but overused and abused. Take a look at how we treat the ultimate manifestation of divine feminine energy; Mother Earth. We have raped her of her magical energy by polluting her waters and stripping her land all to make a profit and benefit ourselves. The same has occurred with us women, over centuries we’ve been raped and sexually assaulted which has polluted our womb waters (Sacral chakra) all while being stripped of our nurturing gifts and abilities.


So, as the divine feminine energy makes her return it’s important we are on her side. We can honor and support the awakening of the divine feminine by taking care of our oceans and land and also pouring into our own feminine elements of water (Emotions) and earth (Body) within.

Preparing your Yoni Steam

  2. Use your hands to thoroughly mix all the herbs together.
  3. Open your windows and light a sage stick to cleanse the herbs of any outside energy.
  4. Light a Palo Santos or Incense to bring positive vibes. While the smoke is flowing, pray over the herbs and crystal, then set your intentions for the steam. What do you want to let go of or receive from this steam? Ask the divine mother for assistance and speak your intentions allowed.
  5. After you have prepared the herbs and locked in your own energy, measure out 1 cup for your steam, them add the extra to a sealable bag to save for later.
  6. Next you’ll want to boil your pure spring water in a pot or tea kettle and pour the water over herb into the bowl.
  7. Them, use a wooden or glass spoon to mix the steam and WAIT 5 min for the water to cool down a bit. (Be sure to wait for the steam to cool down before continuing to ensure you don’t burn yourself! The yoni is sensitive and should be treated with care!)
  8. Now that your steam is ready you can begin the ritual!

Yoni Steaming Methods

  • Toilet Method – this method is done by placing your bowl over the seat of a CLEAN AND DISINFECTED toilet seat. Then, sitting on top of the bowl and covering your legs with blankets to help trap the steam.
  • Stool Method– this method is done by using a yoni steaming stool (available on Amazon) or creating your own by simple cutting a large hole in a stool, placing the bowl underneath the stool, and covering the legs with blankets to help trap the steam.
  • Bed Method – this method is done by simply placing blankets and pillows on the bed or floor, then, SECURELY placing the bowl on top, and sitting over the bowl on your knees or in fetal position. Cover your legs with blankets to trap the steam.

There are many ways to use a yoni steam; pick the best option that works for you!

Cleansing the herbs with sage
Placing positive energy + setting intentions
Package up the extra herbs
Boil pure spring water
Pour boiling water over herbs
Let sit form5 minutes to cool down before beginning your steam

Yoni Steam Spell/Mantra

Every word we speak is a spell! It is a powerful practice to write down our intentions and speak them allowed during the ritual. Saying this Yoni mantra/spell is a way of calling on our higher self and Mother creator to increase the power of the herbs and lock in our intentions; giving magical results!

With this steam I release all old energy that may be blocking me from fully awakening my divine femininity. May I now honor my womb space, acknowledge its magic, and give gratitude for this gift in me.

Nala

Everything You Need For the Leo New Moon + Lion’s Gate Portal

Are you ready to step into the Lion’s gate 8/8 portal? A guide for the initiation.

What is a New Moon?


A new moon is the breath of fresh air after a full lunar cycle. A lunar cycle happens about every 28 days. A new moon is a great time to hone in on the lessons from the prior lunar cycle so that you can truly integrate them stepping forward into the current energies being bestowed upon you. New moons are also a very powerful time to set your intentions for what you want to implement and learn in the new cycle.


How Does the Moon Being in Leo Affect us?


Leo is the zodiac of the sun itself. In its divine form it is ultimate warmth, unique truth, sacred confidence and a true giver of self. This energy from the sun being in its native sign since July 23rd has driven us back into all of our lions hearts. Illuminating the truths that shine through us straight from our soul.


This energy has blessed us with the divine confidence to trust our inner guidance and to truly beam our lights fully without fear.


Its really demonstrated just how calculated spirit is with leo coming after cancer, the mother of the zodiac. Nurturing ourselves and going within so that our seed has the endurance to breakthrough and expose itself to the world in leo.


This moon isn’t about perfection, it’s about loving yourself through all your phases ENOUGH to share. To just be is true freedom. Leo is demanding you to be free in all that you are. Spirit created all of us with our own celestial blueprint that ONLY we have. The leo new moon is asking us to STAND in it no matter what phase it’s in.

Alrighty Nerds, Let’s Put Our Goggles on and Get into The Sciencey Scienceness Aspects


The leo new moon is happening on 8/8 at 16° Leo and is in conjunct with Mercury at 23° Leo. Which is when two planets look at each other like “aye you fine, lets be aligned” and they line up directly which blends their vibrations and work together.


The moon represents our emotions, while mercury represents communication, logic and
rationality. With these two aspects working together it gives us an opportunity to look at the emotional truths we’ve told ourselves and decide if they are truly logical when it comes to our core truth.

It also is helping us articulate our emotions and channel them in an outlet to be
expressed. We are recognizing how vital it is to just be so that our fellow humans can feel
comfortable in just being too.


Although Leo is the sign of the self it loves to basked in and to give off its light. Together we
shine much brighter in our authenticity then we ever could apart with masks.

What is this Lion’s Gate Portal Everybody is Talking About?

As you’ve probably heard this moon is on Leo crack because it is aligned with the peak of the
lions gate portal on 8/8. The lions gate portal is the rising of the star sirius, the brightest star in the sky that disappears from our night sky for a period of time before rising and thus activating the lions gate portal.


Sirius is associated with liberation and its rising was linked with the Nile flooding in ancient Khamit. Giving birth to a very fertile time spiritually because Sirius is considered the sun of our spirit. Light codes being downloaded, DNA being activated and consciousness evolving rapidly are all heightened greatly during this time.

The numerology of 8/8 is an infinite energy of success, progress and achievement. Which is
also super aligned with all the leo energy.


This is a time to get serious about what you’re manifesting. This energy is a surge of fertility for our dreams and desires. Make sure it is aligned with your inner truth because the energy is powerful and a great gift. As we know, with great gifts comes great responsibility. Which goes back into how calculated spirit is because in the next couple weeks we will enter organized and
responsible virgo grounding all of the activations from precious and vigorous leo.


A Ritual for the New Moon in Leo


Step one: Write your intentions on a sheet on paper

Step two: anoint the paper with a blessed oil to help activate the manifestation (orange, lemon, & cinnamon are great for emanating leo energy) but use what you got intention is more powerful than anything.

Step three: pick a candle (white, orange or yellow are preferred but again intention is everything.
The most powerful part of this is the flame) (also life hack, dollar tree has multi colored long neck candles great for altar work and rituals)

Step four: put your written intentions under the candle. Say a prayer and light the candle.

Step five: focus on the candle light, project your visualizations onto it gratefully asking the fire to assist in alchemizing this visual to reality. Pay attention to how the flame burns.


Tall & strong: your confidence will bring this to fruition

Dancing wildly: your manifestations foundation is molding to be able to bring this to fruition

Dim: requires more belief within you to manifest


A Ritual for the Lion’s Gate Portal


Rise with sun and meditate with its warming light. Become aware of the light codes absorbing into your skin. Ask it to speak to you. Write and share the messages given. Also visualize it activating your manifestations like crops from the sun rays of father creator.


When night falls, meditate in the light of shining sirius. Imagine your vision in the womb of the night sky growing and being given life to by mother creator.

Journaling Questions for the Energy

What keeps you from expressing your full self?

What people, beliefs and habits keep you from doing so?

How can you release these things without guilt but with love?

What acts make you feel like your full self?

Imagine the person you want to become, hold that image in your head and connect how you would feel as them for at least 1 minute. Write all the details from the vision as if its the present.

If you could live any life you wanted without financial limits or “i can’t because”. What life would you choose? Write it out in the present and remember if you can see it in your minds eye, it’s achievable.

How to Transition to a Plant Based Lifestyle

If we aren’t being taught how to grow our own food, how to take care of ourselves and our families, and how to live without the need for huge governments, banks, and corporations – as our ancestors once did – then we aren’t being educated; we’re being indoctrinated to be dependent  and subservient to the system.

-Gavin Nascimento

1. Find the Drive

Learning about the truth behind food is exactly what I needed to give me a kick start to taking control over my health.

The world is over populating, we are plagued by a fearful energy that causes greed, egos, hate, and lies. Industries can’t keep up with the demands of a growing world. Instead of truly helping heal, most food industries are after more money. Capitalism is killing us. The way the system is set up, the continuously growing population will continue to even out and money will continue to grow because we’re being fed complete bullshit that deprives our health and our pockets. It’s a system; a scam.

According to the post traumatic slave diet, the dynamic of the African American family is broken. Mom and dad are out working all day and night to keep mouths fed and a roof over the family. We need quick, cheap, and easy meals. In my opinion, the fast food industry is capitalizing off the middle and lower class neighborhoods. Offering unhealthy food for an exchange of convenience and affordability. Our ignorance is depreciating our health everyday. Toxic food is cheap and easily accessible. Yet, healthy food is overpriced and only available in certain places.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the sick get sicker. 

We Are Consumers

We buy genetically modified foods; designed to make us sick and need prescriptions. We buy prescriptions; designed to cover up symptoms and  keep us buying more. Man-made drugs aren’t meant to heal; they are meant to temporarily cover up symptoms, while causing more in other places of the body. So, we have to keep purchasing them in order to feel good. 

Stats say 680,000 people die yearly from an unhealthy diet and 72,000 people from prescription drugs over car crashes, homicides, and murders. Even more than tobacco and alcohol; those of which are still legal. It’s okay to sell products which will eventually cause diseases but millions of minorities are in jail for possession of a dime bag? The prison industry is a big money maker too; just saying.

*Sips tea and burns more sage*

The companies that make the most money are selling us toxicity. Then, according to the documentary What The Health, those same companies who sell us food to make us sick, sponsor organizations like American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, and American Diabetes Association to make you think they are out here looking for a cure. 

Many diseases are ultimately the cause of what we put in and on our body. Which is also the only way to cure our body. Get educated and stop the cycle.

EVERYTHING is passed down through genes until healed. We’re talking about our quality of life, our kids, and grand kids  lives now.

The system is built to keep us controlled and dependent on it. Let’s stop letting food and drugs depreciate our health while making a profit. 

Learn a deeper understanding of the vibration food has on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health in my NEW BOOK!

 

2. Re-Program Your Mental Energy

Ignorant – Lacking knowledge or awareness

Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to understanding what we are feeding our body. We grow up on with no knowledge of healthcare; what nourishes us and what heals us. We eat whatever is sold at the grocery store (that we can afford) not once thinking to look at what’s in it or where it came from. We don’t know what makes us sick; we just assume all humans get sick, it’s a normal part of life. Once we’re sick, we depend on doctors to tell us exactly what to take and for how long. Not even knowing what’s in the drug.It’s so easy to control everyone. Through our ignorance, we listen to whatever “the professionals” tell us through the school system, social media, news, and TELL-A-VISION.

Many things we believe we need and desire in food are things we have been taught, conditioned, and programmed to believe. Our subconscious mind has been fed all sorts of ideas around food and our mind has agreed and made those our reality. This has created our relationship with food. Our brain has constructed our eating habits and It’s difficult to change the brain pattern that’s been building our entire life. So, we must re-program our brain to reprogram our relationship with food and our eating habits. 

If you tell yourself “I could never go plant based.” You my friend, will never go plant-based because you can only achieve what you believe.

Everyone is capable of going plant-based; it’s your mind that’s telling your body you can’t. Your entire body, including your taste buds, listens to what your mind tells it. Your body is following what you keep telling yourself. So, as a result, when you attempt to make the switch, your body is feeling sick, feeling weak, lacking nutrients, and craving foods you once ate because you told your body it wouldn’t sustain itself by eating plant-based.

Transitioning to a plant based diet is very mental. Its unwinding the old beliefs and food propaganda we’ve been consuming since birth. It takes self control, wisdom, patience, and creativity. If we’re not in the right mental state going plant-based is almost impossible. So, we must work on our mind first. Once we get it vibrating higher, our body follows, making it much easier to change and adapt. 

  1. Research – Watch a documentary or read up on plant based nutrition. We must reconstruct our mind to understand the needs of our body through food education.                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-GQYK-UrRQ   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1QDkpUPiI8       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxVR53xemSs
  2. Agree and Affirm – Repeat affirmations to yourself about how you are willing and capable of living on a pant-based diet. Tell yourself you are going to provide your body with the nutrients it needs. In order to change our beliefs and habits we must agree and affirm the new information. 

3. Love Yourself

To have enough self discipline, patience, and drive to transition to plant-based you must put your self love above all else. You must love yourself enough to make the changes necessary and put in the work for a healthier lifestyle. You must love yourself enough to want better for your mind, body, emotions, and spirit. You must love yourself enough to want to break out of the self depreciating cycle you’ve been in.

Ask yourself, “Do I love myself enough to choose not to fill my body with with toxic energy?”

If yes, GREAT.

If no, that’s OKAY. Begin practicing self-love by simply saying “I love myself” out loud. For more self-love practices read my NEW BOOK LOVE STARTS HERE

4. Take it Easy 

Once you make the decision to transition to a plant based lifestyle, be kind to yourself! Take it easy, have cheat days, and shift slowly. Results are better when whining off certain habits slowly; one at at a time and keep building. Cut out one thing, then gradually keep eliminating more things from your diet. 

  • Cut out red meat (pork and beef) consistently for at least 1 month.
  • Cut out poultry (chicken and turkey) consistently for at least 1 month. 
  • Cut out seafood (fish and crustaceans) consistently for at least 1 month.
  • Cut out dairy (milk, cheese, and creams) consistently for at least 1 month.
  • Cut out processed and GMO foods (white sugars, white flours, pre-packaged meals, canned foods, etc) consistently for at least 1 month. 
  • Base your diet around the new plant foods you’ve been gradually consuming for the past 5 months. 

Understand, a plant based diet is PLANT BASED, meaning what we consume is based around plants. This does not mean we can never eat another animal product again. 

Its called balance.

Affirmations and Meditation For Releasing Anxiety

“If you’re depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

Lao Tzu

Anxiety is a very common mental health issue affecting many people of all ages. The common denominator with those experiencing anxiety is a focus of fear toward something in the future; typically based on a past trauma or experience from the past. When we hold onto fears and trauma from the past we can subconsciously create repeating scenarios by expecting, preparing, and fearing they will occur in the future.

Luckily with time and care we can weaken the brain patterns, thoughts, and fears of our future by reaffirming our safety and peace in the present moment.

These affirmations and guided meditation were designed to help us gain control over our anxious thoughts, reaffirm new ones, and find peace where we are now.

Write, read, or listen to these affirmations when anxious thoughts arise.

Affirmations and Meditation For Releasing Anxiety

Whenever I feel that inner restlessness,

that strive for something outside of me,

that urge, and seeking for something to distract me.

When I feel the need to engage in something of the external world,

just to distract me from feeling my inner world.

That is ANXIETY.

An unfulfilled restlessness inside of me,

that seems unable to be distracted.

When I’m feeling this feeling, understand it’s okay.

Understand I can release this feeling.

When I feel this anxiety within, this means I have fear or worry about the future.

I need to go within.

What am I fearful of in my future?

What am I nervous about in my future?

What am I thinking about my future?

As I think about these things filling my mind,

I am taking a deep breathe.

I am releasing these fears.

I am releasing all worry with every exhale.

I understand that the future is perfectly aligned.

The universe, my angles, my ancestors, and all light surround me everyday.

I am guided through my future.

Every situation, every person, and every place is a collection of divinely guided experiences,

Guiding me toward unconditional love.

So, I am releasing all restlessness, worry, and fearful thoughts or beliefs about my future.

I am here right now.

I am safe.

I am joyful,

I am at peace,

right now.

Right now in this present moment is exactly where I need to be.

7 Habits to Include in Your Morning Routine

Your day is pretty much formed by how you spend your first hour. Check your thoughts, attitude, and heart.

Make your morning routine a space to fill your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical energy bodies with love.

1. Meditate

dsc03187

First things first, start your day off with a morning meditation. Grab a few crystals, light some sage, or even light an incense. You can sit in meditation a space with nice blanket and pillow for comfort if you wish. Or, use this space to stretch, do some yoga poses, and breathing techniques as well! f the sun shining position yourself to receive its beautiful rays and sun gaze. Morning meditations are life changing when we make them a priority before the day starts. Here, you express can gratitude for the unique and beautiful day ahead, set intentions for the things you want to complete, and find clarity in the stillness before all the noise. You can say, “today I make it my intention to be in a state of peace amongst chaos around me”. It all depends on your daily schedule and what your heart is telling you.

Here, you can also do some praying; ask for clarity, guidance, and assistance from Spirit. Then, close your eyes (keep them open if you wish) and meditate. Meditations can look different daily; sometimes you may want to listen to a guided morning meditation, a frequency, play a singing bowl, or I’ll opt for complete silence. There’s no time limit for meditations (unless you have a tight schedule to keep); this is where you just let your own spirit guide you to whatever emotion, inspiration, clarity, or creation is for you to see and to feel. Let your thoughts flow if they want to, create certain thoughts, or find stillness. No matter what, here is where you can always leave with inspiration, guidance, ideas, and or gratitude for the day ahead.

This is where you find your center, your peace, your sacred space, and fill your spiritual energy with love. Be patient with yourself, meditation is a practice. With time, you grow.

2. Journal

Release whats on your mind! Journaling is a major self-love practice. It gives you a clean and safe space to truly release!! In your journal you can write whatever is on your heart; lessons you learned, clarity you gained in meditation, questions you desire answers to, feelings you feel, and whatever thoughts you want to capture! Your journal is your own personal venting space where great healing can be found. It can also be a space for more than just writing, but drawing, daily art, whether you consider yourself an artist or not is extremely healing. Art sends a message from our subconscious and allows us to see what our spirit is carrying. Your journal can also be a place to record your dreams. As Dreams are also windows to the subconscious mind and send us very symbolic clues we need on our healing journey!

3. Affirmations/Music

dsc03106

Take this opportunity to gather your mental energy which includes all that you see and hear. You can sit still or move around while doing this. Tidy up your space, make your bed, while at the same time fill your thoughts with positive affirmations. Our mental energy is connected to our atmosphere; so let your mind hear and see things that take you to the mental space you need to be in. Use affirmations to pour love into your mental before the rest of the world sets the tone for you.

Listen

An easy and effective form of affirmations is listening to them. You can listen to morning affirmations pieced together by other creative artist or listen to your own personal affirmations. Making your own can be a lot more personal, familiar, and effective. Do this by create a recording on your phone of you saying your affirmations aloud (in present tense “I am”) with a binaural beat in the background.

Although listening to affirmation is easy and effective there are other ways to incorporate this practice in your morning routine!

Write

Writing is another easy an effective form of affirming. Your pen is your wand! The power of writing is very real! We call it spelling because each time we write we are eating a spell! What you write down is very likely to manifest, especially when we write it down multiple times. Write affirmations! Get in tune with what you want to manifest and/or affirm within yourself and create new affirmations in your Journal.

When you’re done writing, keep these written affirmations in special place! You can even organize them down into specific categories such as hair affirmations, affirmations for the mind, and career affirmations. These are also what you can read from to create voice recordings.

Read

Pick a page of your own or one from our Digital Affirmation & Mantra Booklet ; whatever flows. Begin reading those affirmations saying them aloud or just reading them in your head. Speaking affirmation aloud is a very powerful manifesto tool! Just like your pen is your wand, YOUR WORD IS BOND. What you speak has power over your DNA, your day, your essence, and your whole reality! Either way, say all of your affirmations with power, positive emotion, and faith; like you truly believe them, not like your just saying them for fun. But, attach and feel an emotion you receive from that affirmation and imagine yourself embodying, acting on, or possessing that affirmation.

Music

When your finished pouring love into your spiritual and mental energy body, creating intentions and affirming your own ideas into your well being. Play music! Good, Soulful, and uplifting music sets the vibe for the entire day and has the ability to just put anyone in a good mood. Music has a strong connection with our emotions, it can make us feel deeply, and also allows us to flow within those feelings. Music with a empowering message fills our emotional body with love because it allows us to find comfort and joy in FLOWING. Giving our bodies rhythm to dance (which activates love in the physical energy) and also, activating our throat chakra to be free and open with high vibrations at the start of the day. This is also another way to fill your mental energy with love by what you’re hearing. Have a morning music playlist which consist of upbeat, positive, and grateful energy.

NEED A MORNING PLAYLIST? WE HAVE CAREFULLY CRAFTED ONE FOR YOU! ALONG VARIOUS OTHERS TO MATCH YOUR MOOD.

LISTEN

NEED AFFIRMATIONS TO READ, LISTEN TO, OR WRITE DOWN? WE HAVE OVER 350 AFFIRMATIONS CATEGORIZED INTO SPECIFIC INTENTIONS FOR YOU!! Check out our Digital Affirmation & Mantra Booklet!

4. Self–Care

dsc03133

SELF-CARE IS NOT SELFISH!!! This is YOUR time to show self love and care to your physical energy. Take your sweet time with this. Your morning self-care all depends on your own personal hygiene and beauty routine. This should consist of cleansing, teeth brushing, skin care, and hair care. During this time show yourself mad love in whatever practices you incorporate! Speak love, admiration, gratitude, and beauty into your cells while rubbing those butters and oils into your skin and running that brush through your hair.

5. Drink Water/Tea

The first thing you should put in your body is water; a cleansing of physical and emotional energy. Water is life, it conforms to the vibrations around it; so, speak words of love into your water and ask it to cleanse and purify your physical and emotional energy.

After you’ve rehydrated your vessel from fasting all night, have some tea! Whether it’s just warm lemon water, ginger tea, turmeric tea, or a special herbal blend, tea is an absolute must in the morning before the adventure of the day awaits! Morning Tea is your hot cup of magic! Speak life into the herbs and water used to create this nourishing gift! Let the warmth cover your aura like a hug from the universe. Flowing through your body and cleansing your organs. Leaving you feeling refilled and refreshed by mother nature. Warm nourishing liquid in the morning helps reset your body, raise your metabolism, and increase your energy for the day!

Along with your morning water and tea, this is a great time to fill your body with your own personal vitamins and minerals before any foods. Try Black Seed Oil, Chlorella, Spirulina, a Turmeric and Ginger shot, Vitamin B-Complex, bladderwrack, or Irish Sea Moss.

6. Eat Fresh Fruit

dsc03102

Breakfast looks different for everyone, some choose intermitted fasting, and some choose to EAT. Regardless of when you choose to fill you body, the first solid food that should hit your stomach is FRUIT!! RAW Fresh fruit carries life force energy, it is the highest energy available as it has not been tampered with or heated, causing it to lose key vitamins and minerals. Fruit is also the most DETOXING food! Our bodies do the most detoxing over night and in the morning so its important to aid that process by filling our bodies with alkaline, detoxifying, and life force fruit. You can choose a fresh bowl of fruit, a smoothie and/or a fresh pressed juice to truly fill your body with a high vibration.

7. Go Outside

Now that you’ve filled your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical energy body with love in many forms, GO OUTSIDE!!! Nature is a sanctuary for healing. With the earth, water, fire, and air elements outside, you can absorb energy and give thanks to all these elements at the same time! Even if you step outside for a quick second, allow yourself to feel the sun on your skin, charging your whole essence. Allow yourself to feel the ground beneath your feet, charging you with electrical energy.

This is YOUR morning routine!! So be honest with yourself! Choose what habits resonate with you! Choose what practices are beneficial to your well being! And REMEMBER sometimes none of this happens, you’ll skip some steps, or do everything out of order. Every morning does not go perfectly planned; sometimes you oversleep, wake up in a bad mood, or simply don’t feel like partaking in such a long routine. However, that’s the beauty of life, embrace it!

Try some of these steps in your morning routine and see what what they do for you!

PEACE AND LOVE.
