Yoni Eggs and Whole Body Nourishment
Yoni Eggs…
What’s all the hype about? Where did they come from?
Yoni eggs have been around for over 5,000 years traced back to Empresses and concubines of the Royal Palace of China, as the gemstones supported awakened sensuality, accessed sexual energy and enhanced vitality in the body.
Fast forward to modern day life …
Research has shown that using yoni eggs can support pelvic floor health, urinary health, digestive health, sexual health and overall well-being in the body.
Some of the many benefits that can be gained from yoni egg practices include:
-Gain control of the perineum and all groups of pelvic floor muscles
-Improve bladder control and bladder health
-Reduce PMS, menstrual cramps, breast discomfort; as through regular practice it can increase blood flow to pelvic organs and help move stagnant energy.
-Support Orgasmic Health: including vaginal, cervical and uterine orgasms
-Regular practice stimulates the bartholin gland inside the vagina that is responsible for producing lubrication. One of the first effects women experience is feeling juicier, which can ease vaginal dryness during intercourse
-Stimulate reflexology points of all the major organs in the body
-Can help to release stored emotional and energetic imprints, as the vaginal tissue holds onto these psychological blockages
-Overcome traumatic experiences, as it can promote and encourage a sense of trust back in the body
-Cultivate and enhance a deeper and more loving relationship with one’s body
-Awaken creative energy, passion, libido and sexuality
Let’s spend a few minutes together here, and have a chat on Yoni Egg and Womb Wellness 101.
I invite you to fix yourself a cup of tea and get nestle in to explore this.
‘Yoni’ is a Sanskrit word for the womb and means ‘sacred space’. This is the center that supports creativity, flow, fluidity and love. A woman’s womb and yoni is her inner sanctum, a place to access her wisdom and her power.
Before you stop reading this because you find yourself saying ‘Honey, my womb was removed a long time ago’
Stop.
You will always have an energetic connection to all of your beautiful organs and this energetic connection is just as powerful in developing a deeper connection with your yoni.
The pelvic floor is a large group of muscles that form a ‘basket’ or a diaphragm which supports all of our internal organs. It is said that life force/prana can leak through the pelvic floor and be lost if those muscles are weak.
This life force energy is essential for maintaining energy levels and longevity in the body.
Living our busy lives, we do not engage the pelvic floor muscles. This leads to loss of sensitivity and sensation in the vaginal area, reproductive health problems, urinary health, PMS, disempowerment, decreased libido and a disconnection to our sacred feminine energy.
Studies show that the main culprit of reproductive dis-ease is lack of blood flow to this area of the body.
According to the Yale University School of Medicine, women overall have an up to 60% rate of incontinence and 50% rate of POP (pelvic organ prolapse) postpartum today.
What are Yoni Eggs?
Yoni Eggs are also known as Jade Eggs, and can come as Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Jasper, Carnelian, Green Aventurine, Clear Quartz and many other stones..
These stones are carved into an egg shape and polished to be worn inside the vagina or can also be used externally to cultivate and deepen a sense of trust, safety and communication with the body.
How do you a use Yoni Egg?
Inside the vaginal canal there are reflexology points which connect to the heart, lungs, spleen, liver and kidney.
By using the Yoni Egg, these points are stimulated increasing their functions, which works in a similar way to acupuncture.
One you feel that you are ready to insert the egg, place it with the larger end next to the entrance of your vagina and start moving the egg in slow circles, slowing inviting her to move inside. This is a practice in learning to listen to body and honoring when she is ready to receive the egg. It is never done with force.
**I advocate working with a drilled vs undrilled egg, which means that the egg is threaded with a soft string that can be used to gently pull the egg out when finished with the practice.
Once inserted, practice flexing and contracting the muscles.
Yoni eggs will only build physical strength if you do the work!
Just like holding a free weight in your hands without moving it won’t necessarily build arm strength, the same principle stands for working your yoni muscles!
Will the egg get stuck??
No! Don’t worry that the egg will get lost in your body. It cannot pass through the cervical walls!!
To give you peace of mind, opt for a ‘drilled’ egg. This means there are two tiny holes drilled on the bottom the egg. You can thread string through these holes, and then once inserted into the body, the strings remain outside the body. The string will enable you to control pulling the yoni egg out of your vaginal canal. This can be helpful to use when you are getting started with your yoni egg practice.
How Long do I use the Yoni Egg?
Begin using the egg for just a few moments a few times a week both internally and externally. This will acclimate your body to it, while building strength in vaginal muscles, trust in the connection of the body and confidence in this new and empowering practice.
How do I remove the Yoni Egg?
Lay down and relax, push out a little. Let your yoni muscles relax and the egg will come out.
You can also take a low squat position. Inhale and then exhale, gently release and allow the egg to slowly move out of the body.
If you have used string with your egg, then that’s the time to use it – gently pull the string and release egg from your body.
**Be mindful of your body’s needs – keep the egg in for as long as you are comfortable. Practice keeping the egg in for just a few moments at a time when you begin to work with it.**
Create Sacred Space to work with your egg. Tuck yourself away from all distractions.
Light a candle. Turn on soothing music. Tune into you!
