What's up with all this Womb talk?

There is a great stirring, deep within all of us to return to the origin of creation and birth a new way of being.   A world in which we honor and celebrate the balance of the feminine and the masculine. The healing of the feminine has been happening and we are finally getting to the root.  The darkness has been brought to light as we face our shadows and heal the depths of ourselves.  Within these depths is the healing of the womb.  For it is here, the spirit gateway, that all life comes forth.  We are healing, we are loosening the shame matrix that has kept us disconnected from our own vitality and creative life force.  This is the time to reclaim our sacred temples as a whole and embrace our roots.  

 There is a phenomenon going on right now of womb healing.  Yoni steams are trending on Instagram and showing up in spas.  Womb care products are all over Etsy.  Womb specialists are on the rise as the next biggest wave of healers to emerge.  Why suddenly?  Where has all of this come from?  The healing of the feminine has been happening for many, many years now and has taken on different aspects of her.  Just as we are now hearing empowered voices come through in the #metoo movement, we are also seeing the healing of the divine feminine deep within each of us.  Chakras have become mainstream language and energy medicine widely accepted.  Well now it is time for the embodiment of the whole human being which means healing the divine masculine and feminine within each, finding balance and communication between the two.  We are returning to our roots, the deep grounded place of creation within each of us so that we may gestate and heal that within to birth a new paradigm.    Welcome womb healing.

 Let’s first look at what is all included in the womb, or pelvic bowl as some refer.   The pelvic bowl includes the entire pelvic region from the pelvic basin to the top of the hips and energetically includes the root and sacral chakras.  The pelvis is the foundation for our entire core, holding it all together, so to speak.  Yet this area is left out of most bodywork.  When we address the “core issues,” everything can come into alignment.   We can broaden our sense of the pelvic bowl, beyond just the purposes of actual fertility and see how it applies to our lives in all creative endeavors.   Each of our organs has its own energy.  The ovaries are the creative fire energy within women, literally holding the seeds of creation, potential lifeforce. The right ovary is the masculine energy, the yang, action energy.  What this means is that this ovary holds the fire for taking action with one’s inspirations.  The left side is the feminine, the yin, the place of rest and receptivity.  The two weave their energy in an infinity pattern, meeting in the womb.  True health is knowing when to take action and when to rest and listen.   The uterus is the place of gestation.  Here our seeds of creation are planted and grow till we decide it’s time to birth.  This can be for anything from children to creative projects to visions for one’s future. 

Womb healing sessions can come in many different ways such as Tantra, Energy, Physical Therapy and Holistic Pelvic Care.  Search the internet and find many practitioners offering their own unique take on working in the womb space.  This article will be focusing on the Holistic Pelvic Care model, pioneered by Tami Kent MSPT, who found that postural patterns, emotional stress, energy blocks and trauma can lead to tension and holding patterns in the pelvic region.   These tension patterns can lead to a multitude of physical and energetic symptoms such as incontinence, pain during sex, menstrual irregularities, fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, prolapse, lack of vitality and creative flow, and an overall disconnect from life.  Holistic Pelvic Care addresses core patterns, reestablishing physical and energetic alignment in the pelvic bowl.  Most importantly, the practitioner helps the client to connect and be  present in all parts of themselves.   Where attention goes, energy flows. 

Each session will begin with a very thorough intake including physical, sexual and emotional herstory.  On the table, the sessions can be solely energetically focused such as with pregnant women or move on to a gentle internal and external massage that includes techniques of breath, guided visualization, and musculoskeletal massage.   Did you know the womb has it’s own innate intelligence?  If one quiets and listens, she can be heard.    In a session, one will be guided through breath work and mental imagery to reclaim their own pelvic bowl, clearing, cleaning and beautifying their sacred space, and learning to hear her root voice.    Sessions with me include sound healing with tuning forks, where we begin with ancestral and birth energy and work in toward current time to clear charges in the biofield.  The tuning forks pick up dissonance in the biofield (our energetic blueprint and storyline).  The forks guide us to places of traumatic life events and/or emotions that need to be cleared from the person’s field.   Every life experience has an imprint in our energetic system.  Some have heavy charges which create drag in our system and eventually dis-ease in the body.  The forks clear the entanglements and restore vitality to the person.   This sound healing combined with Holistic Pelvic Care creates an opportunity to heal from the outside in, to the inside out.   

 Is a Womb Wellness Care session right for you?  These sessions are for women who are ready to reconnect with their creative vitality and align with their core wisdom.  For women in need of postpartum recovery so that proper alignment is attained as the body recovers.   For women in need of healing from an abortion or miscarriage.    For women wanting to heal from a traumatic birth event. For women wanting to heal from sexual trauma.  For anyone who has concerns such as pelvic pain, fertility issues, incontinence, endometriosis, pelvic floor weakness, prolapse, hemorrhoids, pain during sex, menstrual pain, menstrual irregularity, or menopausal concerns.   Sessions can even be focused around learning self-massage techniques and understanding mapping of the vulva & vagina. 

Health begins from the ground up.  It is time to reclaim our sacred temple.
