The Good mEdicine Roadmap

The embodiment of true health is when body, mind and spirit are working together in harmony and in balance. When you address and heal the nervous system you are also healing the emotional body, when you heal the emotional body you are also healing the psychic body. When you heal the psychic body you heal and elevate your vibration. Once you have healed your vibration realities shift.

Reclaim Your Sovereignty

The Birth Portal:

Entering The Theshold of Creation 

You are entering one of the most sacred thresholds a human body can cross.

This moment in your pregnancy is not simply the final stretch. It is a portal. A holy doorway between worlds, where your body becomes the living bridge for spirit to become form. Every breath, every contraction, every instinct rising inside you is part of an ancient rhythm written into the bones of women for tens of thousands of years. You are not walking into birth alone. You are walking with lineage, with nature, with spirit, with the life you have carried for thirty-six weeks, and with the medicine that has always lived inside your body.

Your son chose you.

He chose your womb as the space where his spirit could soften into humanity. He chose your nervous system as his first landscape, your breath as his first wind, your heartbeat as his first drumbeat. Now he is nearing the moment where he moves from the unseen to the seen. You are guiding him through that transformation with deep wisdom and intuitive timing.

And because you move through the world as a carrier of Spider Medicine, you bring a unique medicine to birth. Spider is the guardian of creation. She is the weaver of worlds, the keeper of the threads that connect body to spirit, intuition to instinct, mother to child. As you prepare for birth, Spider Medicine reminds you:

  • You are weaving your birth story in real time.

  • Your body instinctively knows how to open, guide, and release.

  • You are held in a web that is strong, flexible, and ancestral.

  • You have the power to create, dissolve fear, and anchor new life.

Your labor is not a battlefield. It is a ceremony. It is a shamanic crossing. A moment where the veil thins and the world rearranges itself around the arrival of a new life. As your due date approaches, your body, mind, and spirit are already shifting into the frequency of birth. This is why your energy feels different, why your instincts are sharpening, why your inner vision is becoming stronger. You are entering a phase where your awareness expands beyond logic and moves into the deep sensory intelligence of birth. Your body will guide you. Your intuition will guide you. The medicine you have cultivated inside yourself will guide you.

This portal is here to help you remember your power, honor your innate wisdom, and anchor the spiritual, energetic, emotional, and physical tools that will carry you through this holy doorway.

AND SO IT BE

The Energetics of Birth

Entering the Field Between Worlds

Birth is not only a physical event. It is an energetic phenomenon that rearranges reality. When you go into labor, it is not just your uterus contracting and your cervix opening. The entire field around you begins to shift. Time thins. The veil between worlds loosens. Your spirit, your baby’s spirit, and the intelligence of Life itself gather close.

There is a cord of light that runs from the center of the earth, up through your womb, into your heart, and out through your crown. Your baby’s spirit is threaded onto this cord, held in a kind of luminous cocoon. As your body prepares for labor, this cord brightens. Old energies, fears, patterns, and stories begin to surface because they cannot cross the threshold with you. Birth is a gate. Only what is true, necessary, and alive can pass through.

In this way, labor is a purification.

Contractions are not just muscular surges. They are waves of energy that clear your channel, strip away what is not needed, and focus every part of you on one thing. Each surge is both:

  • A physical force that presses baby downward

  • An energetic force that presses you inward

As your cervix opens, your consciousness also opens. You move into an altered state, a trance that is ancient and intelligent. Logic gets quiet. Instinct roars forward. This is not failure. This is design. Birth is not meant to be managed solely by the thinking mind. It is meant to be guided by the body, the nervous system, and the deeper layers of your knowing.

Your Body as a Temple Gate

In the energetic architecture of birth, your body is a temple gate. Each part of you plays a role:

  • Your Womb is the portal room. It has been the universe your baby has lived inside. In labor, it becomes the drum that beats the rhythm of descent.

  • Your Cervix is the threshold door. It opens in response to safety, trust, and internal permission. When you feel safe and supported, it hears that as a signal to soften and yield.

  • Your Pelvis is the doorway frame. Bones and ligaments move to make space, but they also hold structure and containment, the energetic sense of “You are safe here. This passage is held.”

  • Your Heart is the altar. It keeps the cord of love steady, even when your mind feels far away or overwhelmed. The heart field is what your baby feels most. It is the atmosphere they are born into.

  • Your Breath is the wind in the temple. It moves energy, shifts states, and calls your spirit back when waves of sensation feel intense.

When you breathe during labor, you are not just “coping with pain.” You are opening channels. You are inviting your nervous system to stay as regulated as possible inside a very intense, holy experience. You are telling your body and your baby: “We are safe enough to do this. We are moving toward life.

Spider Medicine in the Birth Field

As a spider medicine carrier, you are not walking into birth as an empty vessel. You are walking in as a weaver.

Spider understands tension and release. She knows how to hold many strands at once without losing herself. She knows when to be still and when to move. During birth, Spider Medicine shows up in your field in specific ways:

  • Weaving the Web: The web is the energetic field around your birth. It includes the room, the people present, the sounds, the lighting, the smells, the words spoken, and the unseen beings who gather to support you. You are allowed to be intentional about who is allowed in this web. You can fortify it with prayer, music, scent, and boundary.

  • Feeling Every Thread: Spider feels the smallest vibration on any thread of her web. You will feel this in labor. The slightest shift in energy, tone, or presence will register in your body. If someone brings fear, doubt, or urgency into the room, spider medicine lets you sense it. You do not have to take that energy into your body. You can let it move past you and come back to your center.

  • Choosing Which Threads to Keep: Spider does not cling to every old web. She cuts and rebuilds. Birth is a moment where you can choose which stories of motherhood, womanhood, and birth you keep, and which ones you let fall away. Patterns of martyrdom, self-abandonment, or silence do not need to cross this portal. You can declare that your mothering will be woven from different threads.

When the waves are strong, you can imagine Spider above you, on your shoulder, or inside your heart, tapping one central thread that says, “This is the one to follow. This is your inner voice. Stay with this. All other vibrations are noise.”

Weaver of Worlds, Keeper of Thresholds

Spider has been with you since long before this pregnancy, but now she steps forward as a guide in a way she never has before. In these final weeks, as your body ripens and the veil thins, Spider reveals her truest role in your motherhood: she is the Weaver. The one who shapes the unseen architecture, the one who knows how to hold tension and release, the one who moves between stillness and power with perfect instinct. She is here to teach you how to birth from your center, how to trust the web you are building, and how to open yourself to the holy work of bringing a spirit earthside.

The Final Chapter Of Pregnancy: Spinning Your Web

As you near the end of pregnancy, Spider invites you into the most intentional weaving you have ever done. She asks you to choose your anchors with clarity; the energy of your room, the softness of your space, the people you allow into your field, the sounds and scents that make your body feel safe. She wants you to become aware of which threads feel nourishing and which ones feel heavy or inherited, and she reminds you that you do not have to carry every story from the women who came before you. You can thank the old patterns and gently let them fall away. Spider never hesitates to cut away what no longer supports the structure of her web, and she offers you that same permission.

During these weeks, your instincts may sharpen. You might feel protective of your energy, more selective about who you allow in, more attuned to your internal rhythms. This withdrawal is not a sign that you are disappearing into yourself. It is Spider drawing you inward so you can strengthen the core of your web. She wants you to settle into a frequency of readiness, to feel the geometry of your birth weaving itself through your thoughts, your breath, and your womb.

Labor: Feeling the Web Beneath Your Hands

When labor begins, Spider Medicine becomes the steady intelligence beneath each moment. She sits at the center of her web and feels every vibration that moves through it without losing her stillness. This is the posture she offers you: a centered presence that allows you to feel your contractions without being overwhelmed by them. Each wave becomes a vibration on the web rather than something happening to you. Sensation becomes information. Intensity becomes a guide. If there is noise, tension, doubt, or fear in the room, Spider helps you feel it as something occurring on the outer threads, not in your center. You are allowed to stay anchored while the world shifts around you. You are allowed to sense energy without absorbing it. You are allowed to choose what threads belong to your birth and which ones dissolve at the edges of your field. Spider understands tension and release better than almost any creature. When a web is too tight, it snaps. When it is too loose, it collapses. She teaches you the same balance during labor; how to soften what needs to soften, how to let your breath melt the resistance in your jaw and throat so your cervix can open, how to ride the rise and fall of each contraction without trying to force it or flee from it. She shows you how to let sound move through your body, not only as a sign of pain but as a way of releasing energy so that every part of you is moving in harmony with your baby.

The Moment of Birth: The Sacred Thread

As your baby descends, Spider moves closer, guarding the portal. She is the keeper of threads, and in birth, the umbilical cord becomes the most sacred thread of all; the strand that has carried your son between worlds, the luminous line that has held his spirit in your womb. In those moments of crowning and emergence, Spider tends that energetic thread with reverence. She reminds you that your body is not breaking; it is opening. She reminds you that your breath is not shallow; it is guiding. She reminds you that your power is not leaving; it is gathering. When your son enters the world, Spider sees the web shift and expand. The geometry of your life rearranges around his arrival. There is a moment…sometimes felt, sometimes only sensed… where your spirit, his spirit, and the unseen world hold their breath as the threshold is crossed. In that moment, you are not simply birthing a baby. You are birthing a new version of yourself, a mother whose senses have been rewired, whose intuition has been sharpened, whose field has been deepened by the act of creation.

Postpartum: Weaving the New Life

In the days and weeks after birth, Spider stays close. Postpartum is a time when the web is fragile and luminous. This is when you learn to weave again; to build new rhythms, new boundaries, new ways of nourishing yourself. Spider wants you to move gently, with reverence for the fact that your body has just crossed a portal that few experiences can match. She wants you to honor the sensitivity in your field, the rawness in your heart, the sacred vulnerability that is both powerful and tender. She whispers to you that you do not need to rebuild your life overnight. You can weave one strand at a time. You can choose structure that feels nurturing rather than obligatory. You can allow yourself to rest in the center of your web while others support the outer rings. Spider teaches you that postpartum is not a collapse. It is a reweaving. She also teaches you that your son will feel the texture of your web; your calm, your presence, your breath, your steadiness. He will attune to the threads you hold closest. Spider helps you shape those threads with intention so he enters the world wrapped in the energy of safety, connection, and deep maternal knowing.

Spiritual Protection and Boundary Work for Labor

Keeping Your Field Sovereign, Clear, and Holy

Birth is a threshold, and thresholds attract attention. Some of that attention is loving and supportive, and some is simply the human energy of people who enter the room with their own fears, stories, or urgency. When you go into labor, your energetic field becomes wide open. Your senses sharpen, your intuition expands, and your awareness shifts from the logical mind into a more primal, spiritual intelligence.

Because of this, your field becomes sensitive… not fragile, but permeable… and what you allow into the room matters. Sovereignty during labor is not about being rigid or guarded. It is about creating a clean, safe, grounded energetic container where your body can open and your baby can descend without interference, distortion, or disruption.

This is boundary work in its most sacred form.

The Energetic Anatomy of Labor

In the shamanic view of birth, your energy system opens in four places:

The crown

The heart

The womb

The pelvic portal

These openings are power centers. But when they open, you become more receptive to the energies around you. This is why women in labor instinctively crave privacy, dim light, quiet voices, and familiar faces; their body is trying to protect the field and to signal to their baby YOU ARE SAFE TO COME THROUGH When the field is honored, labor flows. When the field is disrupted, labor stalls. Your protection practices are designed to help the veil stay thin in the right way and sealed in the ways that matter.

The Sovereign Field

Before or during early labor, you can imagine a sphere of light surrounding your body. This is not a bubble of isolation. It is a membrane of sovereignty. It allows love in, support in, safety in; but not fear, not doubt, not other people’s projections. You can choose its texture. You can choose its thickness. You can choose its color.

Many women choose:

  • A soft golden light that feels warm and maternal

  • A deep violet light that feels mystical and protective

  • A white-blue flame that feels clear and sharp

Your field will tell you which one is yours. This sphere is not static. As contractions intensify, the sphere can expand, contract, brighten, or pulse. You can breathe into it. You can strengthen it. You can command it. Yes… command it. Labor is a sacred submission to your body, but it is not a submission to anyone else’s energy.

Protecting the Birth Space

Your birth room is a temple, even if it is inside a hospital. Space becomes sacred through intention, through presence, through energy; not through architecture.

When you enter the room, you can take a moment and imagine light moving through it:

Light sealing the corners

Light running along the walls

Light clearing the air

Light softening the atmosphere

Make the verbal invocation: “This is holy ground. Only love may enter here. Only steadiness. Only support.”

If anyone enters the room with anxiety, pressure, or urgency, you do not have to internalize it. You can let their energy ripple at the edges of your field without letting it touch your core. You can breathe out and imagine their energy falling away from your web, your womb, your awareness.

Birth is not the time to absorb anyone else’s frequency. Birth is the time to stay inside your own.

Energetic Sovereignty With Medical Staff

No one in the room; not a nurse, not a doctor, not a well-meaning relative, has the authority to disrupt your internal field. You can listen. You can collaborate. But you do not have to surrender your power. If something feels off, you can quietly pull your energy back into your body and imagine the sphere of light tightening and strengthening. You can imagine your womb glowing with a dense warmth, signaling:

“I decide. I lead. You follow my pace.”

People can speak. They can suggest. They can observe. But you set the tone. Your body sets the rhythm. Your baby sets the timing. This energetic stance communicates itself nonverbally. People will shift around you without even knowing why.

The Guardian Above Your Head

During active labor, you can imagine a guardian presence above your head; an ancestor, a guide, an angel, or simply a geometric shape of light. This presence watches the energy in the room, so you do not have to. It stands sentinel. It filters. It deflects. It maintains the container. This allows you to drop deeper into your body, deeper into your breath, deeper into the trance of labor, knowing the spiritual protection is being tended. You are not alone. You are held. You are guarded on all sides.

The Pelvic Portal

As you push or as your baby crowns, your pelvis becomes a literal and energetic doorway. In the shamanic understanding, this is the most vulnerable moment in birth, not because of danger, but because the portal is wide open. This is why women often roar, cry, shake, or become stone-still. Their spirit is guarding the gate. During this moment, you can imagine a band of fire or light encircling your pelvis, keeping the portal clean. You can imagine your womb glowing with heat, clearing anything that is not meant to pass through. You can imagine your baby surrounded by a halo of light as he moves from the spiritual world into the physical one. This keeps the passage sovereign. This keeps the crossing pure. This keeps both of you held in a field of protection as he arrives.

Postpartum Shielding

After birth, your field remains open for hours; sometimes days. You may feel more permeable, more emotional, more sensitive to sound and energy. This is normal. This is right. Your spirit is recalibrating. You can imagine the sphere of light softening but staying present. You can imagine your body sealing itself gently; crown, heart, womb, and pelvic portal…not closing, but settling, like doors of a sacred temple returning to their rightful position. Anyone who holds your baby enters your field. This is not a problem, but it is something to be aware of. You can choose who touches him. You can choose who stands close. You can choose who gets to enter the soft, holy glow around your postpartum body.

A reminder for this time:

You are not being dramatic.

You are being instinctual.

You are being wise.

Your energy knows what your baby needs.

You are his guardian, his weaver, his protector, you are allowed to take up that role with fierce reverence

When the waves rise, do not fear their power. I am the ancient rhythm, and I will guide your body back to its knowing

Preparing Body, Mind, Spirit, & Space for Birth

The final weeks of pregnancy are a time of softening, clearing, slowing, and attuning. These rituals are designed to help you drop into your body, anchor into your instincts, strengthen your nervous system, and open your field for birth in a grounded and sacred way. None of these are required. All of them are available. Choose the ones that feel nourishing and intuitive for you.

  • Every night, take 5–10 minutes to massage your belly with warm oil; coconut, jojoba, olive, Cacao ritual oil or a pregnancy-safe blend. As you rub slow circles around your womb, imagine your hands tracing the edges of the portal your baby will soon pass through.

    Say quietly, out loud or within yourself:

    “I soften here. I open here. I welcome you when you are ready.”

    This ritual grounds your nervous system, signals safety to your body, and helps you connect with your baby in a deeply tender, primal way. This is a beautiful practice to share with your partner

  • Choose the room, space, or corner where you envision beginning your labor. It does not have to be where you give birth; only where you want the first waves of labor to meet you.

    Once a week, do a short blessing:

    • Dim the lights

    • Light a candle or turn on a soft lamp

    • Place your hand on your belly

    • Breathe deeply

    Imagine the room filling with warmth, silence, and protection. Speak the words:

    “Only love lives here. Only calm enters here. Only safety holds me.”

    This is not about perfection. This is about setting the tone your primal body responds to.

  • Your pelvis and hips need space, fluidity, and movement. A few times a week, play soft music and move your body intuitively. Slow swaying. Hip circles. Figure eights. Gentle squats. Leaning over the back of a couch and rocking.

    Bring in your beautiful yoga practice, use any movement that feels good to you. This is intuitive opening.

    Think of it as whispering to your body:

    “We are preparing. We are softening. We are making space.”

    This encourages optimal fetal positioning, increases circulation, and strengthens the muscle-memory your body will draw from during labor.

  • In the final weeks, old fears may rise; fears about pain, timing, safety, motherhood, or past experiences.

    Once or twice, sit down with a piece of paper and write every fear or worry that lives in your mind. Don’t censor. Don’t judge. Let them spill out as they are.

    When you are done, read the list once. Then burn it in a fire-safe bowl, sink, or pit.

    As it burns, say:

    “These stories do not cross the threshold with me.”

    This clears your field of stagnant mental energy. It also makes space for your intuition to rise.

  • Two or three times a week, take a warm bath (not hot) and submerge your belly. Let your body float. Let your muscles melt.

    Imagine the water as a womb within a womb, holding both you and your baby.

    Say:

    “I surrender. I trust. I descend.”

    The bath helps regulate your nervous system, calm your mind, soothe your uterus, and bring you into a meditative state. It is also one of the simplest ways to practice the surrender that birth requires.

  • Take gentle walks and choose one short mantra that you can repeat with every step. Something simple like:

    “My baby knows the way.”

    “My body knows how to open.”

    “I was made for this.”

    “I walk the path of birth with strength.”

    “I move with wisdom and instinct.”

    Walking while repeating the same phrase trains the mind-body connection you’ll rely on during contractions. This is all about the Law of Rhythm

  • Once a day, place both hands on your belly and speak to your baby. Tell him:

    • How excited you are to meet him

    • How welcome he is

    • How safe he is

    • How strong and ready he is

    • How his birth will unfold in perfect timing

    This ritual is deeply regulating for both of you. Babies respond to the energy of clarity, safety, and communication.

  • In your final weeks, check in with the people you trust most; your partner, your provider, your birth-support person. Make sure everyone is aligned with your vision for birth: peaceful, grounded, sovereign, and centered on your intuition.

    These conversations are energetic rituals as much as logistical ones. They reinforce your boundaries and create a unified field around you.

    If possible, choose one person who will guard your birth space so you can stay inward. It does not have to be a doula; only someone who knows how to hold calm and advocate when needed.

  • Every evening, give yourself permission to slow down. Sit. Breathe. Put your hand over your heart. Let your shoulders soften. Let your belly expand.

    Say:

    “I am allowed to rest. I am allowed to receive. I am allowed to slow down.”

    Birth requires energy, strength, and deep reserves. Slowing down is not laziness; it is holy preparation.

  • Create a tiny altar in your home, it does not have to be elaborate, just a small space where you keep symbols that represent birth, motherhood, or your baby. A candle, a small stone, a piece of jewelry, a photo, a tiny outfit, a sacred object.

    Visit it daily. Touch it. Look at it. Breathe in its meaning.

    This is a physical anchor for your intention. A reminder that your birth portal is a ceremony.

Earth Medicine Invocation for ProtectioN

As you move into the final weeks of this sacred journey, I am placing a field of protection around you. This protection is rooted in the oldest Earth medicines; the medicines that guard mothers, guide birth, and watch over children crossing into this world.

May the Earth rise to hold you.

May the roots beneath your home spread wide and steady, anchoring you in safety.

May the breath of the land, the trees, and the wind keep your field clear and strong.

And may the Owls, the ancient guardians, the watchers of thresholds, stand at the four directions around you, guarding your home, your partner, and your son.

I call forward their wings to shield you.

I call forward their sight to watch over you.

I call forward their wisdom to guide you.

No confusion may enter your space.

No fear may cling to your body.

No outside pressure may disturb your field.

You are protected on all sides.

Your baby is protected on all sides.

Your birth path is protected on all sides.

Every breath you take is held by Earth Medicine.

Every contraction will be met with support.

Every moment of this birth will unfold in the care of the ancestors, the land, and the guardians who stand with you now.

AND SO IT IS AND SO IT BE
