Womb Meditation

After the light has filled your body, you imagine a strong golden cord growing from your womb, down through your yoni and into the earth. With each breath you guide it through the layers of rock, sand and lava until it reaches the luminous core of the planet, where you can fasten it. It is the image the meditation uses to leave you grounded, present and connected.

With your hands on your womb, you take deep belly breaths. As you inhale, you gently squeeze your yoni muscles, as if drawing in the earth's essence like a mouth. As you exhale, you let those muscles relax completely. On the in-breaths you breathe in abundance, grounding, unconditional love and nourishment.

Twice in the body scan, and three times in the womb section, you breathe in deeply and let out an audible sigh of relief. In the first round, the sigh helps attention leave the body after the back is softened. In the womb section, you breathe into any stagnant or heavy area and release it with the sigh.

You're invited to observe without judgment, simply noticing what is there. Near the end, the guidance asks: what do you feel, where do you feel it, and what is this feeling telling you? You then listen for any whispers of wisdom, since the womb is described as the home of your intuition.

The heart is described as the bridge between heaven and earth, joining the higher and lower chakras. With one hand on each, you breathe the golden light from your womb up into your heart, which seals the energy circuit the session has built. It closes with a list of sensations to feel, from relaxation and trust to the love that is you.

While golden light spirals clockwise around your heart, you are asked: are you open to receive love, are you happy with the love you give, and how could you open your heart more? They are not meant to be answered neatly. They are prompts to notice what comes up while the heart feels open.
