I remember being 12, laying down on the couch and lifting up my pants to see if I had finally gotten my bleed.
For some reason I was really anxious and excited to ‘become a woman’ and begin bleeding.
In this memory I lay on the couch and I close my eyes, I held my womb and prayed for my bleed to come.
About 2 weeks after, my red thread grandmother (maternal) visited from Brazil, and like a blessing it came. Now with the wisdom I have, I see how my body synched that up perfectly.
As I got older, my bleed was never regular or on time. It became heavy and the pain from cramps would lead me to being hospitalized regularly. This caused my doctor to suggest the pill, to ‘fix’ it.
From 14-24, I didn’t get my period. Sometimes a break through bleed for a day, but the BCP essentially cut me off from my Womb.
Now I cherish this Moonthly release, being pregnant and having a daughter has healed so much within, since implementing Womb healing I have normal and regular bleeds.
Things that reconnected me to my Womb:
-Energetic Womb healing
-interacting with my bleed and honouring it with witchcraft
-Yoni Steams
-Womb focused breathwork
-getting pregnant and becoming a Mother
One of the things I am most excited for is to teach Kayah about her body, her Womb and all of the power she holds within herself, to heal this generation and societal wound around being a Womb Keeper.
What has your bleed Journey been like? Have you stopped to honour this part of your healing as a Womb Keeper?
