What is Womb Healing: 3 Steps to Start Your Womb Healing Journey Today

These days there is a tremendous amount of talk about reconnecting with the Divine Feminine and womb healing as an integral part of that process. This leaves many people wondering ‘what is womb healing and how can it benefit me?’ Well, womb healing is not just a new age “woo woo” practice. In fact, it dates back over 7000 years and was originally utilized to heal any problem that related to the female reproductive system. The womb was viewed as an important command center that heavily influenced the overall health and wellness of womxn.

The womb has long been recognized as far more than simply a reproductive organ. It is the center of intuition, wisdom, and creative power for womxn. This is why womb healing is such a fundamental element to reconnecting with our Divine Feminine essence. Without a strong, meaningful connection to our wombs, we are cut off from our deepest sense of inner knowing and bodily autonomy. Womxn have lived this way for 1000’s of years now and the tides are finally starting to turn as we reconnect with the innately powerful force that exists with our wombs.

Why is Womb Healing Necessary?

As we move through life, we often endure experiences that are painful and traumatic on an energetic, physical, emotional and spiritual level. While we may have processed these hardships intellectually and cognitively, there often remains energetic and somatic imprints or blockages that we are largely unaware of.

The womb is a hollow organ that is intricately connected to our emotional and spiritual bodies. This means that the womb often stores our traumatic emotional memories and negative past experiences. These can physically manifest over time as issues like endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and painful periods.

Intentional womb connection and healing is necessary to combat the adverse effects of these experiences within our bodies and specifically our wombs. As womxn, it is our inherent gift, one that we have often forgotten, to be able to connect deeply with our womb. It is the gateway to our deepest sense of self love, creativity, and healing.

Three Simple Steps to Begin the Womb Healing Journey Today

• Become aware of your womb

In today’s patriarchal and fast moving society, it is very rare that we take the time to focus our attention on our womb. All of us lead busy lives, but even taking just a few minutes a day to bring your awareness to your womb will begin to create a meaningful connection to this sacred area within.

• Release shame

It is very common to find internal resistance towards engaging in womb work. We live in a global society that has taught women to hide the inner workings of their womb cycles. There can be a lot of subconscious shame, embarrassment, and discomfort around connecting with our womb and sexuality. Womb connection provides a lovely opportunity to dig deep into the internalized shame that we may be carrying. Be gentle and kind with yourself while doing this important work.

• Dedicate time daily

It’s important to be consistent with ourselves, especially when we first begin connecting with our wombs. Dedicating time each day, even if it’s only five minutes, to connecting with our womb can have a drastic effect on our healing journey. Set time to hold space for yourself. Your inner womb wisdom is just waiting to unfold.

Womb healing is an ancient practice that we can use today to live a healthier, more holistic, balanced life. Without a meaningful connection to the womb we are cut off from our deepest gifts as womxn. Womb healing allows us to release past and present blockages from our most sacred creative center. It is a life changing practice that leads to greater self love, confidence, bodily agency, healing and Divine Feminine awakening.
