The Womb + Throat Connection
There is an intimate physical and energetic connection between our voice and our womb. Ancient wisdom lives within our womb-spaces and wants to be expressed through our voice. The Latin root word “cervix” means “neck.”
The womb is our creative center and the voice is our portal of expression. They are divine mirrors...As above, so below. Sacred twins.
Your throat and your womb have been connected since before you were born. While you were in your mother's womb, there was one cell that spit into two -one half went on to develop the area of your jaw and the other half became your pelvis.
Have you ever noticed, when your mouth and throat relaxes, so does your pelvic floor?
Take deep sighs. Howl. Hum. Moan. Groan.
Notice how that feels in your womb?
When you orgasm, do you naturally sound?
When you don’t speak your truth, do you feel a tightness mirrored in your throat and pelvic floor?
For thousands of years, the ancient Eastern Yogic sciences have charted the subtle connection between the spinning energetic wheels called Chakras. According to these sacred teachings, the power in the energetic center of the throat is found by expressing the deepest needs and desires that rest within the sacral center or womb-space.⠀
The World Needs Your Healing
Women have been systematically shamed in both centers for centuries.⠀
There were times on this planet when wise-women were persecuted just for knowing how to heal; how to live in rhythm with the earth and the moon; how to listen to our intuition; for knowing the ways of the woods.
Within a 300-year period in Europe alone, countless women were killed for being witches. Throughout time, the number of wise-women killings and persecutions are in the millions.
And this still impacts us today. Deeply.
Through subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) programming, we are taught to simultaneously silence our throat center by holding our tongues as we oppress our fullest expression for fear of being shamed or put in danger. We are taught to silence our needs and desires to keep others happy at all costs — we must be the "good girl," be quiet, smile and be pretty — or we will be labeled as selfish, crazy, too loud, or too much.
But the truth is...
The feminine force that flows through each of us is feared because it has the power to both create and destroy.
Just like Mother Earth, the feminine can manifest as flowers or exploding volcanoes.
Our voices, our truth, our desires being expressed — is a part of the healing our world needs.
We have a sacred responsibility.
For ourselves.
For all the women today who are unable to.
For future generations.
For the earth.
It's time we learn to communicate our needs and set-boundaries so that we may co-create a world where all are safe to let their sensual, creative, and intuitive energy flow freely.⠀
With so much love,
Christina

What clients are saying:
“During my 6 months with Christina, I increased my income by 45%, formed an LLC, moved into a new, spacious apartment, came to peace with a personal health issue, found a new sense of style and confidence, and met a man I really enjoy being around after almost 4 years of shallow off and on dating. Most significantly for me, I became more adept at conflict, decision making, and practicing emotional containment and expression.”
