A yoni egg is an egg-shaped stone or crystal used to insert inside the yoni (vagina) to heal your sacred sexual center physically, energetically, and emotionally. The egg can help to strengthen, tone, and release the entire pelvic region. (Read on to learn how to best use the egg safely) Many women are cut off from their pleasure and sexuality and therefore their power. Yoni eggs reconnect you to your womb, your creation center, create sexual and sacral healing and awaken your lifeforce.
It is recommended to see a pelvic floor physical therapist at least once regardless of your age or stage in life to assess the health of your pelvic floor. An overactive pelvic floor or hypertension in your pelvic floor may benefit from releasing these tight muscles before strengthening. For many years I suffered from a hypertonic pelvic floor that caused several symptoms such as constipation, low back pain, and, bladder urgency. There are many ways you can use a yoni egg but the gentlest way to start is to insert the yoni egg and see if you can utilize the tactile feedback of the stone to bring sensation and awareness into your womb space.
Before insertion, bring your egg to your heart and set an intention. When inserting lie on your back with some pillows behind your back. Take a moment to breathe deep and center yourself. Be gentle and go slow, do not force it. Inhale, release your yoni like a flower opening and allow its petals to unfurl. Press the smaller end of the egg to your yoni opening and slowly insert as you exhale. As you exhale envision the petals of your flower closing and feel as if your yoni is plucking the egg and pulling it up and in.
Center yourself and tune-in. Sit in silent meditation, inhale and relax deeply, exhale and ever so gently hug the egg with your yoni. Can you feel the egg inside of you? It is important to fully release on each inhale, so as not to create more tension. Can you feel the release when you let go? If not this may be a sign you need to solely focus on pelvic floor relaxation for a while.
