REGIMEN

Greetings of peace to all. My name is Nyambura , mother of the Ethaga the rainmakers, daughter of Njaũ and Wanjirũ from the Ambũi clan, those born to seek knowledge and people of medicine. I came into the genetic pool of Thũmbĩ, people of the crown, through my grandmothers’s house, Njikũ wa Ng’arĩka and I walk the path of a medicine woman. The last time I created a post on here was in 2012, right my grandmother’s passing and so much has happened in the way of growth and expansion since. Something shifted deep inside my spirit after I experienced my grandmother crossing to the other side in my presence and I eventually responded to the constant calling within me to carry the ancestral gifts of my lineage and it has been initiation after initiation especially in the last six years since 2019. I was first initiated on the altars of the south as a Gobela which loosely translates to a teacher or a guide for the gifted ones which aligned perfectly with my natural ability to reflect the unseen gifts back to those who are led to seek my guidance. My journey this far has felt really supported by those who came before me in my bloodline and I have managed to create a relationship with them despite living with aphantasia meaning I’ve been unable to receive messages through vision so I mostly rely on my claircognizance and bodily sensing. Because of this perceived limitation, whenever I have needed more guidance than I felt I was receiving, I have always sought the services of different diviners and it has turned out to be exactly what I needed at that particular time. My latest appointment two days ago on 8th September 2025, the day after the Blood Moon eclipse in Pisces, was with a geomancer who I did not go searching for but rather was brought into my awareness by divine happenstance as with all the diviners I have interacted with at a personal level. Our session turned out to be one of the most in depth readings I have experienced in a while and my people really called me out for slacking on my spiritual hygiene and not having a defined regimen as a practitioner. One thing about my people, they will call you out but they will also have very clear guidance on what to do next, but even though I stand guided, it is still up to me to put in the work which feels very difficult for me because I struggle with routine and I prefer to follow the rhythms of my own body. I guess this is why I came with my Saturn in my 6th House of Routine so I really have no choice but to learn the lesson of structure and discipline if I am going to be able to stick to a regimen. This has felt like a dire situation for me for some reason and it makes sense given yesterday was 9/9/9 symbolizing a closing out of old cycles and endings of patterns that no longer serve us to usher in newer versions of ourselves. So, I’ve been mulling over this regimen thing for the last two days and how to go about it and as I was wondering if I am really resourced enough to go through with it, I was reminded that in my early twenties, I was a staunch Muslim for five years after being a Christian my entire life. I prayed five times a day, I fasted during Ramadhan, I practiced Taraweeh, I learnt how to read the Quran in Arabic, I literally built a whole new lifestyle and stuck to it. That is spiritual hygiene. That is following a regimen. I have the capacity to follow a regimen, a younger version of me made sure that this version of me that is emerging has the tools to expand into who I’ve been called to be in this moment even as my path unfolds before me with every step I take in trust of myself and my people. For this I am grateful.
