The power of the womb

I’ve never felt too much of a connection with my womb. For many years when I was growing up I actually wanted to be a boy. I refused to wear dresses and went to swimming class with just shorts. I feel no shame writing this, because it was part of my journey. Womanhood has definitely caught up on me. Now I own many dresses and love being feminine in my own way. I think I only started embracing femininity when I realized that there’s no one way to be feminine, but everyone has their personal ways. For me it is slowing down, nurturing myself, cooking, walking around in the garden and doing some witchy magic. When I realized that’s just as feminine as wearing make-up or spending the whole night chatting with girls, it was like a weight fell off my shoulder. I’m feminine after all.

Day by day, I started enjoying being feminine more. And as I did, I became more interested in one of the main things that makes us feminine: Our womb space.

But the womb is also the place where you can deeply connect to the earth. It’s the place where you can really feel like you belong and where you can find home within yourself. Because when we are truly grounded, we’ll feel like we can connect to the earth and connect to other people around us. It’s like we can fully stand on the two legs we’ve been given and energy can flow in and out of us. So the womb is also the place to find the grounding within yourself. And with grounding comes security and a feeling of relaxation. A feeling of ‘I’m good where I am’.
