Oh my goodness!! I am so excited!! Over at Soul Embrace, our Splash Blankets and Yoni Eggs are here!!
Women’s health is something deeply important to me. Especially women’s sexual health.
Our whole lives we are bought up to believe sex is for marriage and procreation. But no one ever really taught us that sex is for fun!
We are told not to have sex until we find ‘the one’. Yet I don’t know that in my days of growing up many boys were told to wait for ‘the one’??
For a lot of women, sex has always been something we have been made to feel shame for. ‘Boys will only want you for sex.’ Made to feel dirty for dressing sexy, or even worse, at fault for other behaviour because we may choose to wear a short skirt or low cut top.
So much conflicting information in our growing minds, it’s no wonder by the time we are somewhere between our 20’s and 30’s some of us are a little over sex and wondering, why isn’t it fun??
Well, I think the first step back to fun is learning to love ourselves. Accept ourselves, our bodies, our fantasies and our desires. Learn that it is ok to be turned on by certain things and not by others. Let go of ‘obligatory sex’ and have sex because we want to. Because we enjoy it!
But where do we begin to learn to love ourselves if we feel damaged? If we have had horrible experiences, with sex, with birth, with our reproductive organs. I’m sure there are many more reasons we have to be disconnected from our pussies and our sexual energy, but for me, they were the three!
After my hysterectomy 3 years ago, I knew I would want to reconnect to my sexual energy. Something that I hadn’t been able to for so long due to a disease and pain invading my womb space. My womanhood. My uterus was causing me unbearable pain, everyday. There were days I wanted to drive my car into a wall just to not feel the pain, or end up in hospital on enough morphine that it didn’t matter anymore. I was so angry at my body. I had shame for my body, for my uterus, my ovaries, my vagina. I hated it all. All I ever felt was that these parts of my body caused me nothing but pain. And I guess in reality, they did. But I had forgotten all the good stuff.
In 2019 I was introduced to a page on Instagram (by a beautiful friend of mine x) called Yoni Pleasure Palace. I was instantly immersed in 2 of my favourite things combined into one! Crystals and ‘sex toys’. The gorgeous products I found here, these pleasure wands, are designed to sooth and awaken your body at the same time. To heal and arouse. It’s an amazing philosophy! One that Sigmund Freud had back in the 1800's when he experimented in treating women with mental issues/hysteria by inducing orgasm. What a thought.
But that release. That real release. It’s pretty damn special. And I can see how that can be healing.
Now imagine healing your body that way with the help of beautiful crystals.
I purchased my 1st Yoni egg in 2020 and spent about 6 months deciding whether to use it or not. Then one day it just called to me. I followed the guide that comes with the egg and did my first ever ‘yoni yoga’. Wow! I felt sexy and alive. There was certainly a part of me that was awoken. That sexual energy I had been waiting to return to my body was coming back. But being a busy mum, I only used the egg now and then.
Then to my shock, I experienced a post surgery bladder prolapse. Thankfully it was mild, but was on the way to being moderate and my doctor wanted me to go straight back and see my surgeon. More invasive procedures and the looming thought of surgery, I just couldn’t believe it. In all the areas I was trying to love again. I just didn’t want to go through that anymore.
I remembered reading an article Rosie Rees wrote and I started using my yoni egg daily for 20-30 minutes doing yoni yoga. And then sometimes just when walking around at home.
Just like I knew when my body needed a hysterectomy, I knew this little crystal egg could help me. And it did. I no longer need to see my surgeon.
A wise woman once told me, ‘do your Kegels each time you stop at a set of lights’ and I still do that to this day. But my body birthed 2 babies vaginally, has been through reproductive complications and trauma and needs a little extra help to stay in shape. And the added bonuses of using a gorgeous crystal to heal my body, have just continued to come. But more about that later…..
For now, ladies I highly recommend buying one of these gorgeous little eggs and filling it full of love and intentions and allowing it to help your body and soul to heal xx
We all need a little healing sometimes ~xx~
(This is my story and may not be the case for everyone. Please always consult a doctor if you believe you are having a prolapse of any kind)
