Our community is grieving the heartbreaking loss of a young boy's life in a nearby town. It could have been any of our children who ride around town on their bikes and e-bikes. For the kids and families carrying heavy hearts right now, I wanted to share a few simple Pet Medicine tools that can help bring moments of comfort.

🐾 Lean into Touch
When words feel too big, gentle touch can help. Stroking your dog’s fur or holding your cat can release oxytocin—the body’s natural “love hormone”—and remind children they are not alone.

🐾 Breathe With Your Pet
Sit quietly with your pet, place a hand on your chest, and notice their steady breathing. Invite your child to sync their breath with their pet’s rhythm. This simple practice brings grounding and calm to a hurting nervous system.

🐾 Share Stories of Love
Encourage kids to tell their pets what they are feeling—sadness, confusion, anger, or love. Pets listen without judgment, giving children a safe place to express their grief.

🐾 Play, Even in Small Ways
Grief can feel heavy. Following a pet into small moments of play—tossing a ball, watching a fish swim, or even giggling at a silly pet behavior—can offer tiny breaks of lightness when the weight feels unbearable.

Pets don’t take away the pain of loss, but they offer something deeply healing: unconditional love, steady presence, and a reminder that we can keep breathing, feeling, and finding moments of connection, even in sorrow.

If your family is grieving, know that you are not alone. Hold close to one another, and let your animals help carry some of the weight. 🐕🐈❤️

🌑 Today’s New Moon is a sacred threshold—a time to plant new intentions in the fertile soil of your soul. As Gemini stirs your mind and your longing for connection rises, let this be your invitation to return to presence—with your pet as your guide.

This is not about doing more.
It’s about softening into what’s already true:

🐾 Your pet already sees you, loves you, accepts you.
Let that love be your mirror as you call in sacred connection—not just with others, but with yourself.

✨ New Moon Ritual

1. Light a candle and invite your pet close.
2. Set 3 intentions: one for you, one for them, one you share.
3. Snuggle and seal it with love.

Then, ask yourself:
💫 “If I knew love would never cost me my freedom, how would I show up today?”

You are already worthy of devotion. Let the moon remind you.

You’re breathing… but it still feels like you can’t catch your breath.
Your chest is tight. You keep yawning. You try a deep breath, but it doesn’t help.

This isn’t just anxiety. It’s your nervous system asking for safety.
And guess what?
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Your pet already knows how to breathe with ease.
They can help you remember.
This is what I call Pet Medicine. 🐾💛

Let’s explore how to breathe in a way that actually brings you back home to yourself.

The Scorpio Full Moon pulls us into the deep.
It’s not here to break us—it’s here to reveal what we’re ready to release.

Scorpio is the sign of emotional truth, shadow work, and soul-level transformation.
It doesn’t ask for surface-level healing—it asks for honesty, for courage, for trust in the unseen.

And when it feels like too much?
That’s where our animals come in. 🐾
They ground us in love.
They mirror our energy without fear.
They help us regulate when our nervous systems say “this is too big.”

🧠✨ Gate 17: The Gate of Opinions – Shaping a Better Future Through Logic & Vision ✨🧠
From March 26th to March 30th, we move through Gate 17 in Human Design, the Gate of Opinions—an energy that brings clarity, logical thinking, and the drive to share insights for a better future. This is a time for big-picture vision, for analyzing patterns, and for using opinions not just to debate, but to inspire solutions and progress.

At its highest expression, Gate 17 invites us to use logic as a tool for empowerment rather than division. It reminds us that opinions, when shared with openness and curiosity, can spark transformation—but they are not absolute truths. The challenge is learning when to express, when to listen, and when to refine our views based on new information.
🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Opinions & Perspective
Animals navigate life through instinct, observation, and adaptability—they don’t cling to rigid beliefs or get stuck in debates. Instead, they respond to what is, adjusting their behavior based on new experiences.
🐶 A dog trusts its senses—if a new route on a walk feels unsafe, they pause and reconsider.
🐱 A cat analyzes a jump before leaping, assessing the distance with precision.
🐾 They observe, learn, and adapt—without attachment to being “right.”
This is true wisdom—the ability to form an opinion, test it, and refine it based on real experience. Like our pets, we can practice being curious rather than rigid, open rather than defensive.
💡 Paws 4 Mindfulness: Practicing Open-Minded Observation
Try this exercise to cultivate constructive thinking and balanced perspectives:
1️⃣ Observe your pet. Notice how they approach something new—do they hesitate? Investigate? Trust their instincts?
2️⃣ Apply this to your own thinking. Where in your life are you holding onto a rigid opinion? Can you observe the situation with fresh eyes?
3️⃣ Ask: "What’s the best possible outcome?" Rather than proving a point, how can your ideas contribute to a solution?
4️⃣ Practice flexible thinking. Just as your pet adjusts based on their experience, allow yourself to refine your views as new information arises.
✨ How has your pet taught you to see things from a new perspective? Share your reflections in the comments! 🐾💡

✨ *“The body breathes even when the mind forgets.”* ✨

Curled beside me is a quiet teacher.
Soft fur, steady breath, eyes full of knowing.
Whether it’s a gentle wag or the purr of presence, my animal companion reminds me:
I don’t have to figure it all out.
I just have to be here.
Now.
Breathing.
Trusting.
Letting life move through me like they do—naturally, effortlessly, with love.

🐾 Inhale…
🐾 Exhale…
You are safe. You are held. You are home.

🔥✨ Gate 36: The Gate of Crisis – Growth Through Challenge ✨🔥
From March 12th to March 17th, we move through Gate 36 in Human Design, the Gate of Crisis, a powerful energy that drives transformation. This gate carries a hunger for new experiences, pushing us into moments of challenge so we can evolve. The discomfort of crisis isn't here to break us—it’s here to teach us resilience, adaptability, and emotional wisdom.

🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Growth Through Challenge
Have you ever seen a puppy navigate stairs for the first time? Or a rescue animal slowly learn to trust again? Animals instinctively embrace new experiences, even when they are uncertain or scary. They don’t resist growth—they lean into it, step by step.
From our pets, we learn that:
🔥 Struggle leads to strength—each small win builds resilience.
🔥 Crisis is temporary—with patience, the storm passes.
🔥 We don’t have to do it alone—support makes all the difference.
💡 Paws 4 Mindfulness: Moving Through Challenge with Your Pet
The next time you feel stuck in crisis, try this exercise:
1️⃣ Move with your pet. Take a walk together, mirroring their steady, curious energy.
2️⃣ Breathe through discomfort. When your pet faces something unfamiliar, notice how they assess and then move forward. Can you do the same?
3️⃣ Reframe the challenge. Instead of asking Why is this happening?, ask What is this teaching me?
4️⃣ Celebrate progress. Whether your pet learns a new skill or overcomes fear, they celebrate. You should, too!

🌿✨ Gate 22: The Gate of Openness – Embracing Grace & Presence ✨🌿
From March 6th to March 12th, the energy of Gate 22 in Human Design, the Gate of Openness, encourages us to be receptive, present, and full of grace—both for ourselves and others. This is a time to deepen our ability to listen with empathy, hold space without judgment, and embrace life’s unfolding with an open heart.
🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Openness & Grace
Animals are masters of presence. They don’t judge, interrupt, or impose expectations—they simply exist with us, offering their love and companionship unconditionally. A pet doesn’t demand you to be in a certain mood before they greet you with excitement or snuggle up next to you in stillness. They accept you as you are.
By observing them, we can learn to:
💛 Be fully present in conversations, truly hearing what others are saying.
💛 Give grace—to ourselves and those around us when emotions fluctuate.
💛 Stay open to the flow of life, trusting that each moment holds wisdom.
💡 Paws 4 Mindfulness: Practicing Openness & Presence
Try this practice with your pet:
1️⃣ Sit with your pet in a quiet space. Watch them breathe, blink, and shift their body weight naturally.
2️⃣ Mirror their presence. Slow your breath and notice the sensations in your body without rushing to change them.
3️⃣ Reflect on openness. Where in your life can you listen more deeply? Where can you offer yourself more grace?
4️⃣ Hold space without expectation. Like your pet, simply be—allowing yourself and others to show up exactly as they are.
✨ How has your pet helped you practice patience, grace, and openness? Share in the comments below! 🐾💖

🔍✨ Gate 63: The Gate of Doubt – Transforming Uncertainty into Curiosity ✨🔍
From March 1st to March 6th, we are guided by the energy of Gate 63 in Human Design, the Gate of Doubt. This energy urges us to question, analyze, and seek clarity, but it also presents an opportunity: to shift doubt into curiosity rather than fear. Instead of getting stuck in uncertainty, we can lean into it, trusting that doubt is not a stop sign—it’s an invitation to explore.
🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Doubt & Trust

Have you ever watched a dog or cat encounter something new? Instead of resisting, they sniff, observe, and explore—curious but cautious, assessing without immediate judgment. They don’t overthink whether they should trust an experience; they engage, using all their senses to gather information before deciding.
We, too, can embrace this approach—acknowledging our doubts without letting them paralyze us. Doubt can actually be a powerful tool for discovery, prompting us to ask deeper questions, refine our direction, and make more aligned choices.
💡 Paws 4 Mindfulness: Exploring the Unknown with Your Pet
This week, practice curious exploration with your pet:
1️⃣ Observe Their Process: Watch how your pet interacts with new situations. Do they pause? Sniff? Step forward cautiously? Mirror their behavior as you face a personal doubt.
2️⃣ Shift from Worry to Wonder: Instead of fearing uncertainty, ask: What could this doubt be showing me? What new perspectives or opportunities might be hidden within it?
3️⃣ Take a Small Action: Just like your pet eventually moves forward—whether to investigate or walk away—take one small step toward clarity instead of staying in overthinking mode.
4️⃣ Celebrate Curiosity: Whether your pet finds a new favorite spot or decides something isn’t for them, they embrace the process. Can you do the same?
Doubt isn’t here to hold you back—it’s here to help you refine your truth. By staying present and open, like our pets do, we can move through uncertainty with greater ease and confidence.

From February 23rd to March 1st, we move through the energy of Gate 37, the Gate of Friendship, in Human Design. This transit highlights the importance of creating and maintaining peace through healthy communication and strong boundaries. Gate 37 reminds us that true harmony comes from mutual respect, emotional balance, and clear, loving connections—whether in friendships, family, or community.

🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Friendship & Boundaries

Our pets show us the beauty of unconditional love and companionship, but they also teach us the importance of healthy boundaries. A cat who walks away when overstimulated, a dog who signals when they need space—our animal companions know when to give and when to step back. They remind us that strong relationships are built on trust, respect, and the ability to honor our own needs while showing up for others.
💡 Paws 4 Connection: Strengthening Your Bonds
This week, focus on nurturing relationships with the wisdom of Gate 37:
1️⃣ Observe your pet’s natural boundaries. Notice when they seek closeness and when they need space. How can you apply this awareness in your own relationships?
2️⃣ Reflect on your friendships. Are you communicating openly? Do you set and honor boundaries that support your well-being?
3️⃣ Practice mindful communication. Before responding to a text or conversation, pause. Are you speaking from a place of peace, respect, and authenticity?
4️⃣ Strengthen your bond with your pet. Set aside time for undistracted play, cuddles, or quiet companionship—just as we should do with our human connections.
Healthy friendships thrive on mutual respect, emotional balance, and the ability to communicate honestly. By aligning with this energy, we create stronger, more fulfilling bonds.

🌊✨ Gate 55: The Gate of Abundant Spirit ✨🌊
From February 18th to February 23rd, Human Design invites us to embrace the energy of Gate 55, the Gate of Abundant Spirit. This transit reminds us that true abundance isn’t found in material things but in our spirit, emotions, and ability to trust life’s flow. Gate 55 encourages us to release fear and scarcity, opening our hearts to faith, gratitude, and the unseen support always available to us.

🐾 What Our Pets Teach Us About Abundant Spirit
Our pets embody unshakable trust—they don’t question if they’ll be fed, loved, or cared for. They simply receive, give, and exist in the present moment. Their joy in the simplest moments—a belly rub, a sunbeam, or a favorite toy—reminds us that abundance is a feeling we cultivate, not something we chase.
💡 Paws 4 Mindfulness: Trusting in Abundance
This week, practice embodying abundant spirit with your pet as your guide:
1️⃣ Sit quietly with your pet & observe their presence. Notice how they trust life without fear or resistance.
2️⃣ Breathe deeply & reflect: Where are you holding onto fear, doubt, or scarcity? How can you soften and trust?
3️⃣ Shift into gratitude. List three ways your life is already abundant—big or small.
4️⃣ Share your abundance with your pet. Offer them extra love, a longer walk, or a moment of pure connection.
By embracing the energy of Gate 55, we step into a life of faith, gratitude, and emotional richness—just like our pets do every day.

✨ How does your pet remind you to trust in the spirit of abundance? Share your reflections in the comments below! 🐾💖
