Healing the Womb: Accessing Your Ancestral Portal

Healing is never linear. It's a never ending road with twists and turns at every corner. For womb-men, this journey is sacred. The womb is equally a physical space as is an energetic space; a portal, a place of creation, intuition, and memory. Within it lies not only the potential to bring life into the world but also the stories, pains, and triumphs of generations before us.

But accessing this portal, the gateway to your truest self, requires preparation. It’s a conscious commitment to do the inner work.

And that work is far from easy.

Many of us carry generational trauma, imprints of pain, fear, and limiting beliefs passed down through our lineage via our DNA. These burdens were carried by our mothers, grandmothers, and even those who came before them, their experiences etched into the DNA we now embody. Others are the result of societal conditioning, cultural expectations, and personal wounds.

Often, we are unaware of how these unspoken, unseen forces shape our lives. They may show up in physical symptoms like heavy periods, painful periods, or fibroids. They might emerge as emotional imbalances…sadness, anger, or a sense of unworthiness. They can even manifest mentally, as self-doubt, perfectionism, or the constant urge to shrink yourself to fit into the world’s expectations.

Personally, I didn’t realise how much trauma I carried until I started working to heal my body. My initial goal was simple: to ease my heavy periods. But as my healing journey moved along, the healing got deeper; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I began unlocking parts of myself I didn’t even know existed. I discovered that my body had been holding onto memories and emotions that were causing all sorts of physical problems.

Each layer I peeled back brought me closer to my essence, the true woman inside before the world told me who to be.

Healing is More Than Physical

We often believe that healing begins and ends with physical symptoms. That if we fix the pain, the problem is solved. But the womb, like the rest of the body, speaks a language that goes beyond the physical. Heavy periods, fibroids, endometriosis, or any other womb-related condition are not just annoyances, they are messages. Messages from your body, your ancestors, and your soul.

Healing the womb requires us to listen to those messages. It asks us to be still and present, to ask questions like:

• What have I been holding onto that is no longer serving me?
• Whose pain am I carrying? Is it even mine?
• What part of myself have I abandoned in an effort to survive?

This work requires patience, courage, and honesty. It means facing parts of yourself that you’ve avoided for years, parts that might make you uncomfortable or even afraid. It means grieving losses you didn’t know you carried and forgiving people who may never apologise.

But it also means freeing yourself.

Every step you take toward healing allows you to reclaim the parts of yourself that were lost or hidden. It creates space for joy, creativity, and the kind of self-love that isn’t conditional.

Your Womb as an Ancestral Portal

The womb is a portal that connects us to the women who came before us and to the wisdom of our lineage. When you heal your womb, you don’t just heal yourself, you heal the generations that follow.

Imagine this: every time you release a limiting belief or shed an emotion that isn’t yours, you shift the energy within your ancestral line. You create ripples of healing that flow both backward and forward in time.

But accessing this portal means being ready. Healing the womb requires you to slow down, to listen, and to honour the messages your body is sending you. It requires you to nurture yourself, body, mind, and spirit.

When you do, you unlock a deeper sense of who you are. You begin to see that you are not defined by your pain or your trauma. You are not the labels the world has placed upon you. You are a powerful, creative force, a living expression of every woman who came before you and every woman who will come after.

An Invitation to Go Deeper

Healing is an ongoing journey, not a destination. And it begins with awareness. Today, I invite you to take a small but meaningful step:

Write down three things you believe to be true about yourself.

Now, take a moment to sit with each one. Ask yourself:

1. Is this belief truly mine, or was it given to me by someone else?
2. Does this belief serve me, or does it limit me?
3. What would my life look like if I let this belief go?

Be honest with yourself. There is no right or wrong answer, only truth. And the truth will always set you free.

As you begin to question what no longer serves you, you create space for what does. You begin to rewrite the story of your life, on your terms.

Remember, healing takes time. Be gentle with yourself as you peel back the layers. Your womb, your body, and your soul are your allies in this process. Trust their wisdom.

Just know, you are part of an unbroken chain of women who have loved, struggled, and risen again. And as you heal, you’ll honour them.

So begin today. Your ancestors are waiting. Your healing is their liberation, and theirs is yours.
