Womb Care: An introduction To Yoni Eggs

Grab your tea. Let’s talk…

Yoni eggs are a sacred and sensual way to reconnect with your womb, honor your body, and nurture your feminine energy. They offer a unique pathway to self-discovery, emotional healing, and physical strength, inviting you to explore the depths of your sacred center.

Why Use a Yoni Egg?

While yoni eggs aren’t necessary for spiritual growth, they can be a beautiful addition to your self-care practice if used intentionally. These polished, egg-shaped crystals are designed to be gently inserted into the yoni (Sanskrit for “sacred space” or “womb”), offering a range of benefits, including:

• Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles

• Enhancing bladder control

• Supporting sexual vitality

• Increasing sensitivity and more intense orgasms

• Deepening your connection to your feminine energy

Just as the Earth’s womb formed these crystals over billions of years, your yoni holds the potential for deep healing and transformation. When used safely, yoni eggs can serve as a powerful reminder of this sacred connection.

Choosing the Right Size

Yoni eggs typically come in three sizes – large, medium, and small. Many women prefer to start with a larger egg as it’s easier to engage the pelvic muscles, then gradually work down to a smaller size as their strength and awareness increase. You can also choose between drilled and non-drilled eggs. Drilled eggs have a small hole that allows you to attach a string for easier removal, while non-drilled eggs offer a more natural connection without the need for additional material.

Choosing the Right Crystal

Not all crystals are suitable for internal use. It’s essential to choose non-toxic, high-quality, certified crystals to avoid potential harm. Here are a few popular options to consider:

• Rose Quartz – A gentle stone for the heart chakra, promoting self-love and emotional healing

• Clear Quartz – Known as the “master healer,” amplifies energy and intention

• Green Aventurine – A harmonizer for the heart, promoting emotional balance

• Jade – Traditionally used in yoni practices, associated with vitality, fertility, and physical healing

• Amethyst – A stone of spiritual protection and emotional clarity

• Black Obsidian – Known for deep cleansing and releasing old trauma

Cleansing and Charging Your Yoni Egg

Before using your yoni egg, it’s essential to cleanse it both physically and energetically. You can do this by:

• Washing it with warm water and a gentle, natural soap

• Boiling it briefly (only if the crystal is safe for heat, like jade or rose quartz)

• Smudging it with sage or palo santo

• Charging it in the sunlight, moonlight, or with sound (singing bowls or chimes)

• Holding it close to your heart and setting a clear, loving intention

Inserting Your Yoni Egg

When you’re ready to work with your yoni egg, create a sacred space. Light a candle, play calming music, or burn your favorite incense. Make this a moment of deep connection with yourself.

• Start in a squatting position or lie down in a comfortable, relaxed space

• If needed, use a natural, body-safe lubricant

• Insert the egg with the wider, rounded side first, allowing your body to draw it in naturally

• Breathe deeply, and take your time – this is a practice of presence and self-love

• If your egg has a string, ensure it’s secure and clean before inserting

Yoni Egg Exercises

To strengthen your pelvic floor, you can do Kegel exercises while wearing your yoni egg:

• Inhale as you engage your pelvic floor muscles, gently lifting the egg

• Exhale as you release, allowing your muscles to relax

• Repeat for a few minutes, building strength and awareness over time

You can also combine your yoni egg practice with meditation, breathwork, or even gentle, sensual dance to awaken your divine feminine energy. Some women choose to sleep with their yoni eggs or wear them during daily activities, while others prefer to reserve their use for more intentional, meditative moments.

Caring for Your Yoni Egg

After each use, cleanse your yoni egg again and store it in a sacred, clean space where it won’t be touched by others or exposed to unwanted energy. A silk or velvet pouch is a beautiful way to honor this sacred tool.

Where to Buy Yoni Eggs

Quality is everything when it comes to choosing a yoni egg. Look for a trusted, certified source like Ashley’s Naturals or a local crystal shop that you feel connected to. Your yoni deserves only the best.

Reflective Prompts for Your Practice

As you work with your yoni egg, consider journaling on the following prompts to deepen your connection:

• What do I want to release as I work with this sacred tool?

• How can I honor my body as a sacred space?

• What intentions am I setting for my healing journey?

• How can I be more present with myself and my feminine energy?

• What old stories or beliefs am I ready to let go of?

A Final Note on Intention

Remember, yoni eggs are just one of many paths to self-discovery and healing. They are tools, not requirements, and their power lies in the intention you bring to your practice.
