Yoni is a Sanskrit word defining the entire female genital system and meaning "sacred place". The yoni is a mysterious and magnetic cavern of delights. It is a powerful gateway, through which, if entered in the spirit of sacred reverence, one can find oneself in a land of unimaginable states of pleasure, peace, ecstasy, even cosmic enlightenment!
A journey into the yoni can be a journey into the centre of the universe. However, many women sadly have developed a somewhat less than positive perspective on the yoni.

Some women have grown to associate the yoni with shame, grief, pain, loss and fear. This warping of the relationship to the yoni has come about through both external and internal circumstances; for example repeated negative sexual encounters, childhood abuse, rape and other wounding sexual experiences. Also to blame is the consistent message from the media and society in general that sexual women are 'dangerous', the vagina is inherently 'dirty' (note the constant barrage of new products for 'sanitising and 'deodorising' the vagina), overt sexual behaviour is 'bad', and chaste humility is 'good'. There are so many mixed messages from the media bombarding young girls today it's a wonder any relationship between men and women begins, let alone survives.

Just like any part of the body, the yoni can 'hold' any number of painful memories within its walls. The imprint of these wounds can be so strong that a woman will detach from her yoni, causing a numbness and lack of responsiveness that inhibits her experience of pleasure completely. The yoni is abandoned. It is a tragedy that so many potentially powerful and gloriously sexual goddesses have become shut down and repressed.

Another factor in women's unconscious relationship with their yoni is lack of awareness – basic ignorance brought on by our culture's lack of ability to teach our children what is normal and acceptable, both physically and emotionally. Our twisted society perceives innocent and natural expression of sexuality as 'wrong'. A woman expressing her sexuality in an overt way is called a 'slut', a celibate nun is deemed 'spiritual and religious'. These are limiting perceptions that cause much damage to women's self-esteem and confidence.

This planet needs a revolution. Not a political rally, nor another war. The planet needs an awakening – a 'remembering' of our divine right. It's time for women to be healed, to become whole and loving and open. The sanskrit word "Shakti" means "feminine creative force". Shakti's true nature is to be a source of creativity and inspiration, to demonstrate unconditional acceptance, to heal, to nurture and to love.

Through yoni healing, a woman can re-awaken her feminine Goddess power. She can discover the profound wisdom hidden within this mystical cave. A woman can find her way home through yoni, dance the dance of life through yoni. The yoni is one of God's greatest gifts to humanity! One example of a miraculous treasure contained within the yoni is the clitoris which comprises 3000 nerve endings dedicated to pleasure. It is the only organ in the human body existing solely for the purpose of experiencing pleasure!

Yoni healing is a subtle combination of massage, visualisation, dialogue and hands-on healing in a safe and nurturing environment. Some of the benefits reported after yoni healing are increased energy levels, greater self-esteem, healthy sexual liberation and a sense of 'oneness' with the world.

Testimonial

"From the outset, Kavida was relaxed and clear, and she really listened to me. I surrendered to the process and was taken, with great compassion and understanding, on a journey back into my teenage experiences with love and sex. I knew that with her I could be utterly myself. She helped me to let go deeply, dissolving hardness, withdrawal and resistance. She was soft and completely appropriate and respectful.

Afterwards I felt freed up and connected throughout my body and old internal pain had gone."
