Today's episode is extra special.  

It's a meditation that I'm going to listen to every morning and every night.

I did something similar before I met Tah...  And so it felt appropriate to do it again. 

And so I sat with my alters items, some sweet grass brought together feathers from the Q'eros nation from the Huni Kuin and other gifts fro many of my teachers.

Maybe it inspires you to utilize it or create your own.

I found there's nothing more powerful than hearing my own voice. Calling in. And using the words that resonate from my heart. So today's episode is my meditation, my affirmation, my manifestation for calling in my baby. 

The meditation emphasizes openness, love, and readiness to welcome new life, blending natural imagery and deep emotional resonance.   00:00 Introduction to a Special Meditation 00:21 Creating a Sacred Space 01:16 Morning Affirmations Begin 01:41 Embracing Presence and Possibility 04:59 Invoking Energy and Readiness 05:19 Reiterating the Call 06:26 Final Affirmations and Conclusion
