Healing the Womb

"Beating the drum assists in holding
the power of the Spirit of the Womb."
Sitting at my computer, deadline quickly approaching, thoughts
of my next article begin to flow as I listen to didgeridoo meditation
music. The Great Mind of Ma said, “The Spirit of the Womb
must be healed.” That was my cue as to what my Higher She
had to impart.
Many women are in toxic, intimate relationships. These relationships
do not allow women to honor themselves, their family, their community
or the world at large.
In various Medicine Woman cultures, when a woman has been molested,
sexually abused or simply ending an intimate relationship that
has run its course, she cleanses herself with a fertile egg,
Saying prayers and affirmations into the egg to release the hurt,
the pain, the anguish and to bless the situation, she then passes
the egg over the aura of her yoni to absorb the negative energy
from her womb, making it an offering to the Great Earth Mother,
that She may transform the energy into one of a joyous rebirth.
After cleansing the Spirit of the Womb, one would ask the Mother
of the Earth permission to enter into her Sacred Body in order
to bury the egg and seal it with salt and ash, as is done amongst
the women of the Dagara people in West Africa. This type of ritual
cleansing is done four times; four consecutive days, four weeks
or four months. Each time another egg is used and the same process
of burying the past, is ceremoniously performed. In other Medicine
Woman cultures, they break the egg in running water after such
a cleansing.
One can also use crystals instead of eggs. I recommend red, orange
or clear quartz crystals for this work. The Earth Mother gives
us crystals and gems to work with that we may heal ourselves
but She too is in need of a healing and by giving away a crystal
to renew and refresh ourselves, we are also helping to renew
and refresh Mother Earth.
There are many womb dis-eases that must be healed. It is in this
healing that self-love takes place. Women who have experienced
womb loss can take that experience and turn it around. When I
speak of womb loss, I am talking about any violation that has
taken place. Placing your hands on your belly, spiritually reach inward and
become one with your femaleness. Send healing love energy to
and acknowledge the vulva. You may very well find yourself becoming
poised and powerful. Center yourself by holding your belly, humming
your inner song. This simple daily ritual will assist you in
your healing process.
hurry. Running here and there, too busy
to slow down. We do not take time to honor our Sacred Womb Space.
It is imperative that we make time for a simple ritual that will
bring us into a new awareness of ourselves as women. Healing our
collective womb, we can begin to journey, exploring the deeper realms
of our femaleness. What a joy!
Meditating on the Sacred Vulva while playing a drum to the rhythm
of your heart will send rushes of electric impulses to the wounded
womb. Beating the drum assists in holding the power of the Spirit
of the Womb. The energy from the drum will feel warm like the Sun
or cool as river water. Whichever sensation you feel, know that it
is doing the work that it was called upon to do. Yin and yang have
a complimentary purpose.
Recently, I purchased a small drum and placing it between my legs,
I closed my eyes and felt the rhythm of my yoni. I played what I
felt and the sound flowed through me taking me into a hypnotic trance.
It was good. I’ve since played many different beats on my drum
and each session sends its own healing vibration and rhythm through
my body. I enjoy playing my Yoni Healing Drum and recommend it as
a practice for those women who have an affinity for the drum. You
won’t regret it.
The Spirit of the Wounded Womb is yearning for healing love. It has
known pain of various degrees. It knows that tender loving care,
is a catalyst for being made whole in the Spirit of Love. The Womb
Spirit knows and understands the true essence of you and who you
are born to be. It wishes for you to remember that as you connect
with the Universal Mothers to gain the wisdom so needed in these
days.
Become one with your Sacred Gateway. Hold your belly, make a joyous
noise and continue the healing process.
