This guide will explore how to do Yoni meditation, its benefits, how to prepare, and steps to integrate it into your daily life. So, get comfortable, and let's dive in.

What is Yoni meditation?

‘Yoni’ is a Sanskrit word that means the entire female reproductive system (including the vulva, uterus, and eggs). It symbolizes the divine feminine energy. During Yoni meditation, we honor this feminine energy through breathwork, visualization, and mindfulness. Although the practice sounds feminine, it’s not gender specific. All humans, regardless of biological sex, have masculine and feminine energies within them and can use this practice to harmonize their feminine power. (So yes, you can invite your boyfriend to join too!)

Yoni meditation comes from ancient Tantric traditions, which view the female body as sacred and connected to cosmic energy. Practitioners believed it could unlock spiritual insights and a deep sense of interconnectedness.

This practice lets us tap into our intuitive wisdom, boost creativity, and foster self-love. The yoni is seen as a gateway to the divine, with the power for physical and spiritual transformation. Think of it as a spa day for your soul and lady bits!

How to do Yoni meditation

Before you begin, creating a sacred, peaceful environment where you can practice without interruptions is crucial. Here’s how to prepare:

Choose a quiet safe where you feel comfortable. You can light some candles or burn some sage/incense to clean the area of negative energies. Feel free to channel your inner artist to decorate the place with crystals, plants or anything meaningful. 

Gather your supplies; don't shy away if you need a blanket, cushion, or towel to feel comfortable. If you’re using Yoni oil, have it nearby. Pro tip: keep everything within arm’s reach so you don’t have to break the zen by searching for stuff. You might also choose to practice nude to feel more connected with your body. It’s your call—comfy PJs or birthday suit; you do you.

Steps to practice Yoni meditation

Find a comfortable position

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. You can sit cross-legged on a cushion or lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

Use Yoni Oil (Optional)

If you’re using Yoni oil, take a small amount and gently massage it around your Yoni. High-quality Yoni oils like the YUMMY Yoni Oil are infused with herbs and essential oils that hydrate and promote increased sensitivity. Massaging connects you with and brings your awareness to the sacred space and brings greater awareness. Ensure you’re using an oil  (such as the YUMMY Yoni Oil) free from artificial preservatives, dyes, and fragrances, as they can harm your Yoni’s natural pH balance. While the scientific evidence may vary, many women report feeling more grounded, centered, and in tune with their bodies after using yoni oils, attributing this to increased vibrational frequency.

Relax and breathe

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Inhale into your Yoni and imagine yourself drawing positive energy into this sacred space. When you exhale, imagine negative and stagnant energy floating away with your breath.

Visualize your yoni

Once you’re grounded and relaxed, visualize your yoni. You can imagine it as a crystal, flower (lotus flowers are associated with the Yoni), or golden light. Feel its power and imagine its energy floating throughout your body, energizing every cell.

Focus on sensations

Pay attention to the sensations in your yoni. Notice any warmth, tingling, or other feelings. Allow yourself to experience these sensations without judgment fully. Notice any emotions that arise. These could be in the form of memories and experiences. Feel them without shame or judgment. 

Yoni Mudra Meditation (Optional)

Mudras are hand, eye, or body positions that facilitate energy flow in the body. Yoni Mudra is a hand mudra believed to invoke the primal energy in the womb. To perform the yoni mudra, interlace your fingers with the thumbs pointing upward and the index fingers touching to form a triangle, representing the yoni. Hold this mudra at your heart or lower abdomen while you meditate. Yoni Mudras have been shown by research to have various health benefits, such as providing relief to PCOS patients and even positively impacting heart disease!

Chant or Hum (Optional)

Chanting a mantra or humming can enhance your meditation. Sounds like "Om" or "Aum" can help you connect deeper with your body and spirit. Feel the vibrations in your yoni as you chant or hum. Bonus points if you can sound like a contented cat.

What does Yoni meditation help with?

Aside from the relaxation and sense of calmness that any meditation brings, sacred Yoni meditation has benefits that extend beyond the physical.

Self-Awareness

Yoni meditation is like a deep dive into your inner universe. During the meditation, we focus on our body’s needs and sensations, unlike during our usual day when we’re focused on the outside world. During the meditation, we connect with the most intimate parts of ourselves and bring a loving focus to the womb space. We connect with the crux of our sexuality and honor our feminine self.

The next step of self-awareness is self-improvement. Yoni meditation can help you ditch those old habits and beliefs that are so last season. With curiosity and kindness, you can spot those patterns that don't serve you anymore and hit the reset button on your mindset.

Emotional Healing

Yoni meditation helps release unresolved emotions and heal past traumas, offering emotional balance. Women often store pain and trauma in their womb space. This can damage creativity and reduce libido, self-confidence, and self-love. Yoni meditation creates a safe space to experience these feelings. During Yoni meditation, we have a heightened awareness of the rising sensations and emotions. This is a normal part of the healing process. When we stay present and experience these feelings without judgment and shame, we help them be processed and released.

Sexual Health

Here’s the benefit that most of you are after! Yoni meditation clears out tension and negative energies from your womb space. It’s a spiritual cleanse for your sexuality. It connects you with your body, reduces shame, and helps you feel and revel in the power of your feminine energy. Some women claim the practice has helped them improve sensuality and sexual pleasure. Try it and see!

Spiritual Growth

Connecting with your yoni can be a profoundly spiritual experience, fostering a sense of inner peace and alignment with your higher self. It’s like finding your inner guru—no yoga mat required!

Remember, sacred Yoni meditation is a personal journey, and having fun with it is okay! Don’t take it too seriously—playfulness can enhance your practice. Laugh at yourself if you need to, and enjoy the process of discovering new aspects of your femininity. After all, self-care should be a joyful and uplifting experience.
