The Wandering Womb

The womb is a hollow, suspensory, detoxification organ that moves in and out of optimal position.

The womb moves to expand with childbirth and menstruation, and many factors affect its placement. 

When the womb is in a non-optimal position, it will affect other related systems of flow. These important systems then don’t get the nourishment they need to be in their healthiest and full divine expression as organs and as collaborative systems. 

This is an underlying contributor to many of the symptoms related to menstruation such as PMS, pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, PCOS, severe cramping, painful intercourse, lack of sensation during sex, numbness, ovulatory pain, infertility, chronic miscarriages, difficult perimenopausal, menopausal symptoms and so much more.

To understand optimal womb placement, you must understand some simple things about the womb as an organ, both physically and energetically. 

The womb is held by ligaments within the pelvic bowl. Many lifestyle factors affect the alignment of your womb including nutrition, stress, aging, high-impact exercise, accidents, and injuries, which all impact the strength and health of the ligaments inside the pelvic bowl that hold the womb in place. 

How is the womb a detoxification organ? 
Your menstrual cycle can be read as an indicator of your overall health. This does NOT mean your womb is dirty, rather it reveals what happens when you have poor nutritional intake or experience excessive stress.

The effects are shown in how your menstrual cycle presents itself, through the quality, color, and smell of your menstrual blood and the symptoms associated with your cycle. 

Energetically, as a hollow organ, the womb can hold our undigested emotional experiences as well as ancestral trauma. 

You were an egg inside of your mother when she was in her mother’s womb. The effects of their internalized traumas can then be passed down through the womb to you. 

Trauma affects womb placement because it creates physical and energetic armoring that can cause pain, numbness, disassociation, disconnection, and difficulty staying present during sexual experiences, as well as manifest as the symptoms listed above. Trauma experienced by the womb can also include difficult pregnancy and labor, sexual trauma, gynecological trauma, miscarriages, and abortion. 

The womb wanders in and out of optimal placement based on all these factors.

How do I know if I have a wandering womb?
The best way to tell if you have a wandering womb is to begin tracking your symptoms and cycle over three months. 

It is from there that you can interpret your womb’s placement based on what you’re experiencing, such as pain or ease with your menstrual cycle. 

I will be highlighting the many placements of the womb, and the symptoms associated with them, in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

What do I do to treat a wandering womb?
Just as easily as the womb can move out of alignment, you have the power to coax the womb into optimal position through womb massage. 

Wise Womb Ceremonial Massage is a method I developed through studying the healing arts for hundreds of thousands of hours and working with 60,000+ clients over 30 years. It is from this lifetime of study and experience that I developed my own style of womb massage that is unlike any other modality out there. 

When the womb is in optimal placement, it is in the center of the pelvic bowl. In my studies, I realized that no form of massage was actually reaching the womb. Wise Womb Ceremonial Massage works in partnership with a person’s body, rather than doing something to the body, to reach the womb and coax it into optimal position.

Massaging the womb into an optimal position feels amazing and eases the emotional, spiritual, and physical symptoms associated with non-optimal placement.

In Wise Womb Ceremonial Massage, we also massage the breasts because they are the gateway to the womb, but I'll share more about that later.

You can learn how to do Wise Womb Ceremonial Massage on yourself, to help coax your womb into optimal position.
