The Erotic and Womb Healing

“The Erotic is our birthright,”- Adrienne Marie Brown writes in Pleasure Activism. When we have nothing left and everything is stripped away, in the face of systemic prejudices that thrive on our suffering, choosing pleasure is the healer that transforms us from the inside out. Choosing pleasure that roots down in our vulvas, titillates the clit, and grows a light of radical self-love that fills us up and overflows is how womb healing and the erotic work together to disrupt patterns of oppression internalized and around us.

Using the expansive container of energetic modalities to shape the way my medicine shows up for women and femmes, I would be playing myself and those who see me by not naming and honoring the sacredness of sexual energy and its role in healing our minds, bodies, and spirit. Intentional practices of masturbation and sensual touch, yoni gazing, and breathwork can be added to our preventative medicine bag to lower our chances dis-ease and imbalances of the womb space. These sexual energy practices move energy to prevent physical stagnation (like fibroids and cysts), awaken the Bao Mai channel that connects our cervix to the heart to transform any emotional stagnation and stir the creative energy of our womb space so that we create a life of pleasure beyond the sexual. 

Stress and Libido 

The labor of being a woman or femme-presenting person navigating patriarchal systems that make parenthood, career, relationship, and community building harder than it should be can create additional stress on our bodies. This stress can directly impact our libido and sex drive, which in turn affects our overall happiness, joy, and contentment with life. Couple that with hormonal birth control, “that can be bad for our sex life because it switches off the testosterone you need for libido (Briden, Period Repair Manual).” 

Too many of us have accepted a life of adrenal overwork, keeping us in constant fight, flight, freeze, or fawn and away from our divine center. When we operate from our center, we are in tune with our needs, express them, and calibrate our nervous system and mind to be open to receiving the resources and support to meet them. There are many ways to rewire our minds, bodies, and spirits to operate from our center, including seeing an ancestral healing practitioner, therapy, developing a spiritual practice, food, and plant medicine. 

Herbs and plants are medicine from Mother Earth that can support our libido by helping our bodies combat stress and find our center. The food we eat can provide us with so many vitamins and micro-nutrients; if that isn’t enough, we can seek out supplements to give an added boost. These nutrients include:

B Vitamins- found in nuts, seeds, meat, fish, eggs, and leafy greens can help calm stress by preventing dopamine and serotonin breakdown

Magnesium- found in foods like almonds, avocados, and dark leafy greens can reduce anxiety and depression and support testosterone in the bloodstream

Omega 3 Fatty Acid- found in foods like salmon, walnuts, sardines, and flaxseeds balances hormones supports the release of dopamine and serotonin, and promotes better blood flow.

Probiotics- found in sauerkraut, tempeh, and kombucha and support gut health, which is linked to increased mood and mental health
