3 Ways to Connect with Your Womb’s Wisdom in 2025
Usha Anandi. 16 | DECEMBER | 2024
Feel like your womb is calling out to you? There’s a deep-seated reason for that.
For centuries, the womb has been recognized as a center of creation, intuition, and wisdom. A place worthy of devotion.
In a world that rarely allows space for this kind of nurturing, starting the new year by honoring your body can feel like a revolution.
2025 is around the corner, and if you’re fed up with feeling depleted and disconnected, I have some advice for you.
Start laying down the foundation RIGHT NOW for what your new year is going to look like.
Set your intentions now, and ease yourself into a rejuvenating 2025 with these 3 rituals.
1. Abhyanga for Grounding & Vitality
There’s a reason why the word “Snehana” means both love and oil in Sanskrit…
Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm oil, is an ancient Ayurvedic practice and one of the simplest ways to reconnect with your body.
Picture warm sesame oil on your hands, gliding across your skin, with a gentle rhythm that brings you fully into the present. This practice relieves tension and deeply nourishes, grounds, and hydrates the body. Perfect for the cooler months.
After the busyness of the holiday family gatherings, endless errands, and the flurry of social events, I invite you to recenter yourself. A daily Abhyanga practice is a gift for you to yourself that you won’t regret. Read more about Abhyanga here.
At our Womben Wellness Retreats, we perform this practice together against a lush tropical backdrop, surrounded by an intimate group of other women just like you.
2. The Power of Breath and Release: Horselips
Let’s be honest: womanhood can feel like we’re playing the game of life in hard mode.
If you’re under constant stress from your rushed lifestyle, tension can build up and settle into the body, rearing its ugly head in a bunch of different ways.
If you’re grinding or clenching your jaw at night, this can be a signal from your body that something needs to shift. TMJ, teeth grinding, and pelvic tension can all point to areas in need of release…
Enter: horselips.
Loosen your lips, relax your face, and let out a soft “brrrrr” (like a horse might). I use this practice everywhere: in airports (yes, I’m that weirdo), when stress kicks in, or with pregnant mamas preparing for birth.
Horse lips help release tension, especially in the jaw and pelvis, areas deeply connected by our body’s fascial network. This small practice can create big shifts by softening patterns of stress held in these parts, especially the womb.
By embracing horse lips as a ritual, you’re inviting relaxation into your jaw, which ripples down to the pelvic floor, promoting harmony between the womb and throat.
During our live retreats, we explore breathwork designed to relax the pelvic diaphragm, the energetic seat of our womb space.
3. Give Your Blood Back to the Earth
One of the most transformative practices I’ve experienced is the act of returning my menstrual blood back to the earth.
Our blood carries the story of our health, revealing insights about our body’s needs and rhythm. Menstruation, as a process of death and renewal, can become a sacred offering when we recognize it as such. Giving our blood back to the earth is a way to honor the cycle of life.
This new year, choose a journey back to yourself. Learn how to properly give your blood back here.
If you feel drawn to practices like these, know that during my in-person retreats, you’ll be among women who understand.
