Yoni (self)de-armouring

Yoni de-armouring is a practice aimed at releasing physical, emotional, and energetic blockages held within the pelvic area, particularly in the yoni (the Sanskrit term for the female genitalia encompassing the vulva, clitoris, and vagina). It's intended to help individuals release tension, trauma, and stored emotions to foster healing & reclaim sensuality.

Here's a guide to yoni de-armouring:

Understanding Yoni de-armouring

1. Safe and sacred space

   Create a safe and private space where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Set an intention for healing, and ensure confidentiality and privacy.

   
   

2. Mind-body awareness

   Begin with mindfulness practices or deep breathing exercises to ground yourself and connect with your body. Focus on relaxation and being present in the moment.

   
   

Yoni De-armouring Practice

1. External exploration

   Start by gently touching and applying pressure to the external parts of the yoni—the mons pubis, labia majora, and clitoral area. Use varying pressures to explore sensations and identify areas of tension or discomfort.

   
   

2. Internal exploration

   Gradually move to internal exploration if comfortable. Use clean fingers or a body-safe tool to explore the vaginal canal, identifying areas of tension, tightness, or emotional blockages.

   
   

3. Release and breathwork

   As you encounter areas of tension, apply gentle pressure while practicing deep, conscious breathing. Exhale slowly, allowing the body to release tension as you continue to explore and breathe.

4. Sensitivity and response

   Pay attention to the body’s responses - physical sensations, emotions, memories, or discomfort. Allow yourself to feel without judgment, acknowledging any emotions that arise.

   
   

5. Emotional release

   It's common for emotions to surface during de-armouring. Allow yourself to express emotions like tears, laughter, or anger if they arise. This is part of the healing process.
