There is a part of a woman’s body that is not given much positive attention, and that is our “womb space.” Our womb space is fundamental to unlocking our feminine energy, ecstasy and empowerment. It is the place we create life from. It reminds us of the cycle of life month after month, for most of our life. It gives us strong feelings of intuition that are related to our survival and communication with others. In short, it is our powerhouse. However, this powerhouse has been diminished by our culture, which doesn’t understand the wisdom that resides there. It has been diminished with contraceptive pills, with hasty hysterectomies, and with misinformation about what this extraordinary organ can do. Its time now to take back that power, and to learn how to feel and follow the wisdom of our womb. BEING FEMININE REALLY IS HOW YOU MOVE AND EXPRESS YOUR ENERGY, NOT HOW YOU LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE OR WHAT PARTS OF YOUR BODY ARE NO LONGER PRESENT.
The Dantien
We each have a physical body, which consists of our bones, muscles, blood, etc., and an energetic body, which is the life force, or chi, that runs through and around our body. According to all healing, martial arts, and yogic traditions, one of the most important energetic centers of our body is suspended in the womb (the lower abdomen for men). Most martial artists, Zen practitioners and yogic call this energetic center the “Dantien.” In Chinese Qigong, it is known as the “Lower Dantien,” in Korean yoga, the “Dahn-jon,” and in Japan, “Hara.” This energetic power center is located in the center core of the body approximately 3 inches below the navel, inside the body. One of the Dantien’s functions is to ground and receive Yin energy from the earth. It acts as a storage place for heat and energy and is the cemtet for physical strength and stamina. What is most fascinating is that this area has its own consciousness beyond the physical, and that consciousness leads us directly to our authentic power.
The Dantien is considered to be the “house” of physical communication, sensory awareness and feelings. When something is going on in our environment or another person, we have the ability to feel that in our own body. When i am listening to my surroundings not just from my logical brain but from my womb space, i can get accurate information from what i am feeling in my body. This is why we often say, “i have a gut feeling about this.” These feelings from the Dantien are subtle, but the more you pay attention to your womb space the clearer the communication will become.
Becoming more aware of your Dantien can have very practical applications in your life. If you listen to this intuitive communication while you are on a date, for example, you will save yourself a lot of time and possible pain. When you meet someone for the first time, don’t just listen to your head’s judgments about the person, listen to your womb space also. Your head may say, “he’s a great catch – go for it!” because his credentials look good on paper, but your womb space may pick up that he is not to be trusted in relationships or he’s presenting a false persona. Listen to your womb space when you are considering working or spending time socially with someone. We don’t always see what the body knows.
POWER OF THE WOMB
There is no power greater in the world than the womb. It houses our ability to create life. Truly feel that for a moment… THE POWER TO CREATE LIFE. This is a godlike power of creation, to make another being in “our own image” – this genetic copy of ourselves and our partner’s, not only our DNA and cellular memories but of all our ancestors’ DNA and cellular memories that have gone before us, back to the beginning of time.
Epigenetic shows that we can “switch on” coded information and remember the past lives of our ancient mothers and fathers. Our DNA is not fixed; it is more like a vast biological internet that shifts and adapts and is modified according to our life experiences and emotions, and those of our ancestors. We are always connected as if by an invisible string of molecules, and we imprint ourselves again and again through the immortality of this womb portal.
Just as we do not fully understand the true function of brain or of the heart, less so do we understand the true function of the Womb. It is more than a physical organ, it is a multidimensional doorway, a holographic imprint of Cosmic Womb that birthed all Creation. It is a gateway through which new life steps into this dimension, where a life spark of consciousness and genetics information takes form. It is also where new idea take form. We birth and rebirth through the womb. It holds the power of life and death — and beyond that, the mysteries of entire cosmos.
Daily Practice: Take some time every day to place your attention and your breath on your womb space. One minute here, one minute there will do wonders. Feel the energetic power center that lies there, and notice what it feels like. If you already meditate, then i must say to you to become even more aware of this area during your meditation sessions.
