What Is Womb Healing?

Womb healing is the work of becoming whole and sovereign as a woman. Our wombs carry beliefs, stories, pain and shame brought into our incarnation from our own consciousness, passed through our lineage, through our own life, and through a culture that has little respect and even less understanding for what the womb actually is. To heal it means resolving the distortions, restoring its true purpose and truth, and reconnecting it fully with the rest of our system, so that we can feel, hear and implement in our deepest wisdom in daily life.

To do this we need to consider six aspects:

the physical womb
the metaphysical womb
gestation: time in our mothers’ womb
the split of unified energy into masculine and feminine
the collective womb
detox and nutrition

This episode is an overview of these elements – and over the coming few months I’ll be releasing an episode going deeper into each aspect.

THE PHYSICAL WOMB: THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

The menstrual cycle is a whole cycle, and its purpose is to guide us to embody our full range of states of being each month. This range differs during different chapters in our lives. So to restore the true purpose of the cycle, we need to be able to tune into the natural undercurrent of this cycle every day.

At first, it’s with a specific practice, but after a while that becomes second nature, and we can connect the womb with the rest of our system – importantly the heart, the throat and the mind. All powerful centres if they are connected and performing their true purpose.

To be able to feel and then follow through with what this undercurrent guides us to be and do every day, we more often than not need to do some healing and development work.

THE METAPHYSICAL WOMB: THE ENERGETIC WOMB

The blueprint upon which the physical womb forms. It contains all the information about how we feel about being a woman:

generational imprints
subconscious beliefs from other lifetimes and our soul’s journey
cultural & social programming

These beliefs can have to do with what it is to be a woman, disliking the subjugated position we’ve held in society is a big one, deep down for women. It often shows up as not wanting to be a woman, and that needs unblending from not liking the position women have collectively been in.

GESTATION: THE TIME IN OUR MOTHERS’ WOMB

During our time in our mother’s womb, we are alive, we are conscious and our attachment template, brain and nervous system are all forming in response to mum and our environment.

Once we are born, our attachment template has already had 9 months to develop, and so whatever happens after that, consolidates our experience. And so to recalibrate our attachment style, that’s the depth at which we need to work – processing pain and survival terror, and amplifying love.

This process incorporates not only gestation but also:

The place we were at before we incarnated ‘between lives’
conception
landing in the womb
gestation
landmark events
birth

These are all key components of our relationship with ourselves, our parents and the world around us. At the same time we are conscious during this experience, our logic is very primal and our primary orientation is around survival. This is very tender, slow, thorough and transformative work. It really does recalibrate our relationship with self and the way we relate to others.

Remembering where we were and what was happening before we incarnate is also extremely useful as it gives us context to coming here, often dispelling the illusion that we didn’t want to come here, which many people deep down seem to carry.

It also helps us to remember the resources we came with, sometimes our intention for incarnating, and the themes we’re already carrying into this life to understand and resolve.

This is powerful work and I will be releasing an episode solely on this topic.

UNIFICATION OF OUR MASCULINE & FEMININE ASPECTS

I have produced a full podcast on this, so I’ll just summarise it here.

Basically, as women – when we restore our true masculine nature and unify it in the body with our feminine energy, it helps to restore and embody our internal authority, internal structure and ability to bring energy into matter. And it feels fantastic!

THE COLLECTIVE WOMB: RESTORING OUR CREATIVE SOVEREIGNTY

Our metaphysical womb is connected to The Great Mother, to which all wombs are connected. Even if we don’t feel it, even if we don’t want it, have turned away, or don’t believe it exists, or feel abandoned by it, the connection is there.

It’s really common when we get to it, that we don’t trust love. We forget that we ARE love, that there is no separation.

When we restore our connection with the collective womb, we can birth new consciousness for personal and collective evolution.
