How to care for your Yoni: A Journey of Sacred Self-Care
Firstly, what is Yoni?
At Feel, we like to use the term Yoni, a Sanskrit term for the female genitalia. We like to use this term because it not only speaks about vulva, vagina and cervix together as a whole, but also emphasises sacredness.
Let go of shame
In our modern world, this intimate part of the female body is often shrouded in shame, taboo, and neglect. By reclaiming the yoni as a holy temple and practicing sacred self-care, women can cultivate a deeper relationship with their feminine essence and awaken to their full vitality and potential.
Understand historical Background
The worship of the yoni can be traced back to ancient civilisations across the globe. In ancient India, the yoni was celebrated as a symbol of the divine feminine, the creative force of the universe. Yoni sculptures adorned temple walls, and yoni puja (worship) was a common practice. Similarly, in ancient Egypt, the yoni was associated with the goddess Isis and was seen as a source of mystical power and fertility.
However, with the rise of patriarchal religions and social structures, the sacred status of the yoni was diminished. Women's bodies and sexuality were increasingly controlled, suppressed, and demonised. This legacy of shame and disconnection has had a profound impact on women's relationship with their yonis, leading to a host of physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances.

By treating your yoni as a sacred temple and practicing regular self-care, you can cultivate a deeper relationship with your feminine essence and awaken to new levels of vitality, pleasure, and power.
