Womb Breathwork 🌸 Reconnecting to Your Feminine Power Through the Breath
Hello beautiful soul,
We live in a world that often values the mind over the body, logic over intuition, and constant doing over the quiet power of being. But there was a time when we lived in rhythm with Mother Nature — attuned to her seasons, her stillness, and our own inner knowing.
To reconnect with this deeper, more feminine wisdom, we are invited to shift our awareness from the head into the body — from thinking to feeling. This is the essence of embodiment, of breathwork, of sound, and many more practices. These practices aren’t here to fix us — they’re here to remind us of what we already carry within: deep connection, softness, and power.
As women, we hold so much in our womb space. Emotions, memories, energies — not just our own, but often those we absorb while nurturing others. Over time, we press it all down. Our womb becomes a storehouse of untold stories, held traumas, and ancient wisdom — from this life and beyond.
Through gentle, conscious practices, we can begin to clear, soften, and awaken this space again. When we release what is no longer ours to carry, we make space for life to flow more freely through us — creativity, vitality, abundance, and sensuality. This is the journey of coming home to your womb. Of reclaiming your inner power.
There are many ways to work with the womb — and no one path looks the same. Even repeating the same practice can lead to entirely new insights each time. The womb, after all, is not linear. She is cyclical, mysterious, and wise. What remains constant is this: when we reconnect with our womb, we reconnect with our own source of healing.
Today, I want to share one of the simplest and most powerful ways to begin: Womb Breathwork.
What is Womb Breathwork?
Womb Breathwork is a gentle yet powerful practice of deep connection. Using a circular breathing technique, it helps us drop out of the mind and into the sacred space of the womb — a space of intuition, emotion, creation, and ancient wisdom.
This practice connects us to the womb space both energetically and physically. It invites us to ground, soften, and return to the body — to listen, feel, and remember. While often associated with women, this practice is not limited to those with a physical womb. The womb is also an energetic center that lives within all beings, a space of creative life force and deep knowing.
The practice 🦋
Begin by finding a quiet, safe space where you can sit or lie down comfortably. I recommend lying down, so your body can fully relax and be held by the earth beneath you. You might want to place your hands gently on your lower belly — the womb space — or one hand on the heart and the other on the womb to connect both centers.
The womb breath technique:
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, imagining the breath flowing down from your heart into your womb space — like a warm, golden stream of healing energy.
Exhale softly through your mouth, guiding the breath and any tension back up from the womb through the heart, and out.
Repeat this circular breath for several rounds, allowing your body to soften more with each breath.
After a few rounds, exhale fully and completely — releasing all the air from your lungs. Then, pause in the stillness of the empty breath. This is the moment to bring your full awareness into the womb space. Feel, sense, and listen. Stay here for a few moments, resting in the spaciousness of the exhale.
Next, take a deep breath in and hold the breath at the top, lungs full. Feel the energy expanding and moving through your body, your heart, and your womb space. Let yourself be fully present in this fullness — in the aliveness.
When you’re ready, release the breath fully — like a soft sigh — and gently return to the circular breathing. Continue this cycle, allowing each round to guide you deeper into connection with your womb space.
You may repeat several rounds of this breathing, moving between circular breath and breath holds, depending on your intention and the time you have.
Below, you’ll find a short video of me demonstrating the Womb Breath technique, so you can follow along and experience the rhythm and flow of the practice.
Why Practice Womb Breath?
Womb Breath is a gentle and conscious practice that invites us to soften, clear, and awaken the womb space — whether physical or energetic. As we breathe into this center, we begin to release what no longer belongs to us: tension, old stories, ancestral imprints, and stagnant energy. In doing so, we create space for life to move through us with more ease — awakening creativity, life force, and sensual pleasure.
By reconnecting with the womb, we reclaim our inner power. This sacred space becomes a vessel for healing, remembrance, and release — not only from this lifetime, but also from past lives and ancestral lineages. We return to our bodies and to the wisdom of the feminine within, nurturing ourselves with presence, breath, and love.
Womb breathing always invites you to slow down and listen — especially to your womb. It’s a moment of intimate check-in: What do I feel? What do I need right now? This practice is less about doing and more about being. It’s an invitation to honor the ebb and flow of your inner rhythms and to respond with care and compassion.
Womb Breath helps us come home to ourselves — to the body, to our feminine essence, and to the deep knowing that lives within.
Heart Womb Connection: Bao Mai 🤍
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is an energetic pathway called the Bao Mai, which connects the Heart and the Womb. This ancient channel is seen as a bridge between our emotional and spiritual center (the heart) and our creative, intuitive center (the womb). When this pathway is open, love, wisdom, and energy can flow freely between the two — allowing us to feel emotionally balanced, deeply connected, and in tune with our feminine essence. Womb Breathwork mirrors this ancient wisdom by guiding the breath from the heart into the womb and back again, gently reawakening the Bao Mai and restoring the flow of energy, connection, and inner harmony.
When Not to Practice Womb Breathwork
While (Womb) Breathwork can be deeply healing, the circular breathing technique used in this practice is activating for the nervous system and may not be suitable for everyone.
Please avoid this practice if you are:
Pregnant
Experiencing high blood pressure, epilepsy, or a highly sensitive/overwhelmed nervous system (e.g., due to burnout or chronic stress)
Recovering from recent physical injuries or surgery
Living with severe mental health conditions or taking major medications
Instead, opt for gentle, grounding breathwork, such as slow, deep belly breathing.
Breath holds (retention) — included in this practice — create internal pressure in the body and head, and are not recommended for those with:
Glaucoma
An active migraine
Severe or frequent headaches
If you’re unsure whether this breathwork is right for you, please consult with a qualified medical professional or healthcare provider before beginning.
