Some of you know I am working on a book about nature medicine for thriving under oppression. I have some personal experience with this! As the political climate become more hostile I find this information is relevant to more people. Along with plant medicine, I discuss animal medicine, including snake.

My daughter and I did a plant meditation with the Sacred Mysteries of the Serpent essence from Star Essences with my daughter and wanted to share it. A special thank you to Star Riparetti (in photo) for sending me the essence to try! You can watch our conversation here.

Meditation:

My daughter's experience (she is 14): "There were wildflowers growing along the edges of my uterus, and green grass growing over the top and front of it. There were wildflowers growing up my fallopian tubes, and pink lilies growing out of my fimbriae–I watched them blossom. Then there was water, like from a stream that started by going down my fallopian tubes and into my uterus. The water made a pool there. Then it came out of my cervix and vagina as liquid gold (NOT pee)."

My Experience: I felt a large snake coming out of my mouth. It was emerging from within me. It felt good, powerful, strong and self-guided. The snake energy moved around my mouth and out. The kundalini presented Kali tongue through me. The message I got was ‘what happens when the snake comes out your mouth?’ And then something along the lines of, 'experiment with telling more people what to do for you. Let's see what happens with that.' Empowering! Strong. Using the voice to direct the energy developed within.

Thoughts:

I suggested my daughter just meditate with a focus on her uterus, rather than 3rd eye, because it can cause health problems to raise the energy up during menstruation. What a gift from snake, who is all about cyclic shedding and growth, to have this impression of your own cycle! This made me so happy. I wish I had this type of attitude about my period when I was younger.

After contemplating my meditation with snake essence I have decided to share animal wisdom information that I am writing about in my book through videos, letting the snake out of my mouth so to speak! So look for that in the future. Subscribe to the newsletter in the footer OR subscribe to Brown Bear Herbs' YouTube channel to be notified of future videos. I do have a hard time telling people what they can do for me, I tend to be bad at being a boss (more compassionate than directive) and just don't have a lot of rollmodeling for making healthy requests or seeing my needs met. I appreciate supportive energy from snake saying 'Let's grow out of that too tight enclosure.' Haha! That's a thing I do my daughter finds so annoying, whenever I give her work to do, I say "Let's do this." instead of "I want you to do this". Busted! I will have to watch my language when making requests too.
