The Womb Empowerment Back Story
About 15 years ago, I found myself starting to look deeper at my life. In a sense, as I was reflecting upon aspects of my outer and inner world. I was coming into a greater knowing about the power of visualization, affirmation/mantra and manifesting. I started pulling pieces of things that led me to a feeling state of empowerment from various sources both named and unnamed. And the practice evolved and refined.
You could call the printed version affirmations or mantras; however, the power of these is within each and every woman’s ability to both deeply feel and internalize these words into a feeling state generated from their womb.
Here I offer you this beautiful printable downloadable version of the Womb Empowerments
How to Use Yin-care®’s Womb Empowerments for best results
Now … a few invitations to help you get the most out of this offering. See what resonates. Take what sounds interesting, pleasurable, or good to you. Leave the rest.
- Bookmark the video. Watch it once a day for a month … and see what happens.
- Print out the poster. Place it on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror, in your car, or anywhere you’ll see it regularly.
- Put the poster someplace secret and private. Fold it in half and put it in your purse. Slip it between the pages of your bedside book. You don’t need anyone to know what you’re doing but you.
- When you see the words in your living space (or hear them in the video) breathe them in. Really feel them, if you can, in your wombspace. Set the intention to generate peace, joy, and reverence for yourself while you say these words.
- Gaze at the womb image in the poster. It’s been designed to help you bring your womb wisdom more online. See what happens when you let your eyes really take it in.
- What if you don’t really feel like these affirmations are true? That’s OK! You don’t have to already feel radiant, whole, or courageous for these phrases to do good work inside you. (And you don’t have to already FEEL strong to already BE strong. Just sayin’.)
- Create a mini-ritual of looking at the poster. Right before bed. In the car before heading to work. In the morning before the kids are up. Our nervous systems love rhythm and ritual. Moments matter – even mini moments.
- We made the poster beautiful because beauty matters. It reminds us of the beauty in the world. And even in moments you don’t feel particularly beautiful, trust me, you are. How else can you breathe in a little beauty today?
- Can’t feel love, radiance, or wholeness in yourself right now? Try visualizing someone or something that makes you feel that way – your child, your grandmother, even a beloved animal or corner of your garden. Bring up those feelings of love in yourself before reading the affirmations. You’ll be opening a pathway of love for yourself.
- Keep a tab open to the meditation (or poster) on your phone or computer. Pull it up before a stressful meeting or whenever you feel a little discombobulated.
- Take scissors to the poster – it’s yours to play with as you like! Cut out phrases you most connect with – or most WANT to connect with. Place them in your sightline.
- If you find some words or phrases challenging, take some time to reflect on them. Journal about what they conjure up for you. Maybe set a timer for 10 minutes and just write, stream of consciousness, until it dings. You might be surprised at what comes through …
- Cycle through which sections you want to work on throughout your days, your month, the seasons, the year. Notice your own pace and rhythm and flow through it with honor.
- Play some lovely music that inspires you and let your body move however it wants to as you gaze at the womb image. Notice what you feel.
- Take the Womb Empowerments on a walk with you, outside in nature if you can. Listen to the meditation through headphones as you move. Walking is such a quietly powerful practice for grounding and regulating – this way, you’re co-regulating with Nature as you bring the meditation more deeply into your body, into your movement, into your cells and bones and tissues. You are alive! Let this meditation support your vitality.
- Be on the lookout for shifts – in how you feel, how you relate to yourself, what qualities you notice in your life. Adopt an attitude of reverent curiosity.
- Speak the affirmations out loud. How does this feel, to use your own voice? What do you notice in your mouth, your throat, your heart, your wombspace?
