The word yoni means “holder,” “vagina,” “source,” or “womb.” According to Tantra Yoga, the yoni is the origin of life, the source of the Universe. In Hinduism, the yoni is a symbol of Shakti (the creative force that moves the Universe): hridaya-yoga.com

The yoni then is the sacred source of life. I love to use it in reference to our female anatomy, precisely because it is so reverential in its meaning and it encompasses the whole of our female reproductive anatomy.

Four years ago, I got to train with Tami Lyn Kent, mainly as a response to my own changing vagina & a desire to seek out answers as to what was going happening in my body & why I was suddenly experiencing pain with penetrative sex.

What are the benefits of womb and fertility massage? What can you expect from this form of womb work & how does it help physically & emotionally?

Guest blog by Alison Smith, Astrologer detailing the phases of the moon & how they impact us in our daily life.

“Rhythms …

Have you reflected how the Moon feels for you at different times? Not only at New Moon and Full Moon, of course, but at all times as the Moon moves and creates different ripples of energy. Your reactions will encompass senses, emotions, dreams, physical and all will be individual for you and your rhythm.”

It seems to me that we hold the energy pattern of shame right at the core of our very being – in the pelvic bowl, in the vagina, in the cervix, anus, rectum & pelvic floor muscles, where it sits insidiously, weighing us down, clouding our clarity and keeping us disconnected from this place of our own true, authentic power. It keeps us apart from ourselves, and it keeps us apart from each other – that is its’ nature. It’s a separator.
