About This Session:

A shamanic healing session to connect your womb space with the womb of our Earth Mother. You will be guided on a journey to learn how to clear trauma, remove negative energies and distorted patterns of the Patriarchy that interfere with your Divine Feminine Powers in birthing new forms. (That may be a business, a project, a relationship, a child, an artistic creation or dreaming a New World into being)

welcome, everyone.
I'm Sandra Lloyd, and I'm speaking to you from California, San Francisco, to be specific. And.
And I'm here today to talk about the element in fire, of fire, even though I am a total air sign, five
planets in Libra, what can I say?
But I'm here to talk about fire in the belly.
And, you know, the reason that I chose this is because it's very much related to the work I do.
I'm a shamanic practitioner and a depth hypnosis therapist, and I work primarily with women
during the arc of their perinatal period of trying to get pregnant, getting pregnant, maybe not
wanting to be pregnant, being afraid of birth, going through birth, stepping into the initiation of
motherhood, pregnancy loss.
There's a whole arc of.
Of powerful events that can happen there.
And so, you know, my.
My interest and also the wisdom that I've been collecting, paying attention to, and practicing
comes from witnessing side by side, so many amazing humans giving birth and having that
privilege to welcome new beings onto this earth plane.
And one of the things that I discovered was I've been doing this for more than 20 years, and one of
the things that I've discovered which surprised me is a lack of connection to the womb.
The place where, you know, the sacred fire actually is in us.
The place of creation of more than just a human, of all endeavors, you know, all the many ways
that we can bring our projects, our ideas.
Yeah. Our powerful visions into the world.
And, you know, it surprised me, actually, that women weren't talking to their wombs.
They weren't listening to their wombs.
They weren't asking what their wombs needed or. Yeah.
Or what information the womb had for them, as well as what's happening with their baby inside
their womb.
So that got me very curious because I guess I felt like perhaps I've always been able to talk to her,
but I didn't know that that was not common.
So, you know, what's important here is the womb herself is a receiver of energy.
And she, you know, not so kindly can be called like the junk drawer for everything that's out there,
but we are receivers.
We take in energy from.
From everywhere, and we.
We hold that in us.
And it's from that that we're meant to create.
And it's pretty hard to create from violence, negativity, repression, and, you know, the millions of
ways that women have been mistreated and abandoned, abused and actually killed over the
millennia.
And so it's hard to remember for us that there was a time when our Bodies were revered, our
wombs were understood, is going way back of course, but our wombs are understood to be the
holders of this divine feminine wisdom, that it was necessary, you know, we were seers, we could,
you know, we could bring information from the earth herself and from the sun, moon and stars and
beyond to be able to help our communities and the individuals in it.
That we could bring healing, that we could help our communities grow in ways that maybe hadn't
even been imagined.
So we were a vital force, we were sought for our wisdom and respected.
And we of course have seen what's happened over the many, many hundreds and probably
thousands of years that the patriarchy has taken hold.
And that's another whole big subject for another day.
And so it has affected us so profoundly that we have lost touch with who we actually are and where
our power lies.
And I pay a lot of attention working with my clients, working with individuals to how they hold
power.
And this comes out of my shamanic training about how people give away their power, how it's
stolen from them, how power gets lost and soul parts get lost through trauma, in people's lifetimes,
through, you know, accidents, death, many, many things that are challenging to one's soul and
spirit and also all of the energetic interferences like the ones I'm talking about that are residing in
our wombs.
So the, you know, the womb is holding our former lovers, our family, ancestral DNA.
We, you know, it's holding a lot of, a lot of stuff that really doesn't help us thrive and keeps us
disconnected from our divine deep feminine wisdom that at this point on the planet is so
necessary.
And you know, we can look at why heal the womb?
Well for one, it will improve our health, it'll improve our relationships, it can help our self esteem, it
will definitely blossom our sensuality and our sexuality, our pleasure, our joy.
So yes, that made me feel good just to say that.
So we have this dilemma that we have forgotten who we are.
We have lost touch with the ancient wisdom, the ancient ways that we were in touch with things
from the non ordinary realm, the unseen, as well as the earth realm herself.
Our great mother with that huge fire in her belly that we can connect to and ground ourselves and
be fueled by her immense energy.
All she wants to do is push up thriving life.
It's all great mother knows how to do.
And we are of her, we have that capacity.
We are creators, we can't help ourselves.
So this time that we're in right now is so critical and I know we're all feeling It, I feel like the babies
coming in at this time are a special, special group.
I mean the last few years I feel like they're coming in with medicine for these times.
And we're all witnessing the crumbling of culture, the crumbling, thank goodness of the patriarchy.
But it's not without a lot of suffering, pain, resistance and harm.
So this is the time for us to rise.
The ancient ones predicted it.
You know, in the Peruvian shamanic tradition that I've been trained in with Don Oscar Miracasada,
the Pachacuti Mesa tradition.
You know, the predictions from many indigenous cultures said that this was the time when this
would happen.
When the out of control of people putting greed property, getting ahead way over the earth herself
and the well being of people that live on it and as well as the animals and any other creatures that
are here.
So we're being called.
This is our time.
This is the Pachacuti, the, the world reversal, the things getting turned upside down.
And we've been waiting for the rise of the divine feminine again. Why?
So she can bring things back into balance.
So that the masculine can come back into his perfect divine masculine self and take his rightful
place in balance with the divine feminine that lives in all of us, each of those.
So that means we have work to do and we can't do it from a clogged up system, from a womb that
has lost its ability to freely create, to be able to tap into the deepest knowing and essence of our
sacred fire.
So that's where I'm starting from and I want to offer a meditation today.
And you know, I want to say that many of you may have already been doing a lot of womb work
and womb energy clearing and many of you out there may also be engaged in that as your
professions.
I'm offering just a peek into it, a beginning so that you can start to ask the right questions, you can
start to learn, more importantly to listen.
Just like we're being asked now to listen to our mother, our earth mother, who has the answers that
we actually need.
And we women, being so deeply connected to her, are able to bring that information into the world,
into our, you know, our cities, our families and the culture at large.
Because we're the ones.
It's up to us here to bring some of that magic that's needed for this world to change.
So I want you to be aware of, well, first of all, don't listen to this while you're driving a car.
But also I want you to be sensitive and gentle with yourselves that this, you know, can bring up a
lot of big energies and big emotions.
So just, I'm trying to do this in as careful a way as I can with this bigger venue here.
But I just want you to pay attention to what's feeling okay for you and be kind to yourself if you
don't get in touch with her right away.
Just being present is really enough.
So what's needed when we do this? It's important.
You know, when I do shamanic journeys, when I do any kind of shamanic healing, intention is key.
So we want to always set a strong intention for what are we doing here?
Why are we, you know, why are we engaged in this?
Why are we doing this?
Practice and you know, just so that, well, number one, we're attracting the energy that will be
helpful.
And number two, so that we can understand the messages that come to us and know that they're
meant for us specifically, not sort of random information that we kind of feel like we know.
So we're doing this work with the womb to really initiate a process of clearing old energies that
don't serve us.
And you know, to do that we are always asking for light to come.
We want to be held in light.
And we also have an awareness that we're not doing this alone.
We are not disconnected, we are not separate from the all.
So we're calling on all the universal forces from the above and from the Earth mother below.
We're going to be connected to her.
And I want to honor anyone that listens to this today, knowing that you are in this greater circle
with all the other people who are listening here that you know, once this circle is created, it can't,
you know, you know, it's not destroyed.
It's always going to remain out there in non ordinary reality and you can always tap into it
whenever you need to.
So let me make sure I've said what I need to say before we get started here.
Yeah, just, I want you to be able to be in a safe, comfortable place and just use this as a
springboard to perhaps begin to investigate how you can best listen and how best you can give
your attention to what your womb needs and how you can invite the energies of light and love that
are needed to clear away anything that no longer serves you.
So I'm going to, I'm going to show you something here.
I'm just bringing up this. Whoops.
I'm bringing up this picture so that you can focus on what I'm just calling like a sacred fire, the fire
in the belly.
Just as a visual and you don't need to keep staring at it, but I'm just asking you to just look into it
for a moment and, you know, see if you can hold this image a little bit in your mind's eye as we
begin to work with the meditation.
And so I invite you to get comfortable, whether you're sitting or lying down, and just taking a
moment to begin to settle in and closing your eyes, just taking a deep breath.
And as you release, just letting yourself settle down, just finding yourself, sinking a little more
deeply into your awareness of the surface that's under you.
Finding a way to allow your spine to lengthen a bit.
Becoming aware of your breath and just noticing where it goes as you breathe in and where it goes
as you breathe out.
Allowing yourself to sense or feel or imagine that your body is softening more, sinking down.
Just noticing that you can fully let go to those places beneath you that are supporting you.
Noticing the crown of your head, your face, soft and relax the sides of your neck, the back of your
head, your shoulders, soft and heavy, the chest and upper part of your back.
Softening, releasing, letting go your belly and lower back, softening, feeling deeper and deeper,
relaxed, noticing your bottom, your perineum, your thighs, your knees, your ankles and feet.
And as you feel yourself supported in this way again, noticing where your breath is.
And allow yourself now to breathe into your heart, feeling that breath circulating in so you can
actually feel your own heart breathing, feeling its pulse and inviting now, calling in all of the
energy, all of your energy to this time, this place, for your own healing and transformation.
Allowing yourself to connect more deeply with the sacred feminine that is within you, that's within
every cell of your body, within every heartbeat.
And to allow the sacred feminine energy to be able to heal you at your very core.
So call back now all of your energy back from wherever it's been out in the universe, in your
relationships, in your life, situations in the past or the future.
Calling all of your energy here now.
Surrounding yourself with light, inviting the sacred feminine energy to come down into your space,
asking for the deepest healing that can be allowed now.
And calling in, inviting your guides, your masters, teachers, the angels, the directions, the
elements.
Inviting all of your allies to surround you and offer your prayers for your own healing.
And bringing your attention to the earth below you, to the fire at the core of the Mother, her holy
womb.
And just sensing or imagining that you can allow roots to grow from your feet, luscious, gorgeous
roots to grow down into the earth.
Reaching for the core of the Mother.
And you'll just be pressing down through the building where you are, the cement, the grass, gravel,
the dirt, past the little creepy crawlies, the crystals, the stones, past the water, past the bones of
your ancestors, and just allowing those roots to reach out and spread.
Looking down deep to the heart of the mother, going as deeply as you feel safe.
And if you can reach the center safely, then just allow yourself to find a spot that you can kind of
hook that root into.
Allowing now for your breath to reach down through your roots to the core of the mother and start
to draw up that fire from the center of our earth Mother, Mother Gaia Pachamama.
And just notice how you can draw that up through all the layers, up through your roots, up into
your feet, your legs, your pelvis, your womb space, back up to your.
Your chakra of your self, will that third chakra, and then up into the fourth chakra into your heart.
And just letting that fire come up and circulate within your heart and just let that transmuting
power of that fire just kind of look in there, looking for anything that maybe needs to be released,
any wounding or any places that you're holding that really don't suit your life right now.
And just breathing that down, breathing that down all the way down through the roots, back into
the mother and let her transmute that for her and just experience that for the moment.
And I'd ask you now to gently place your hands over your womb space.
And you know, you can try making your thumbs together and your forefingers together as a
triangle, pointing that triangle down in the ancient symbol of the womb just below your navel, if
you choose to do that.
Otherwise, just letting your hands rest there.
And just begin gently breathing into your womb, letting her know that you're opening space for her
to release whatever she's ready to release.
Become aware of her heartbeat.
And whether you have a womb or not, this space can still speak to you.
It is a center of consciousness.
And breathe in deeply, as deeply as if inhaling and exhaling from this womb space.
Imagine her filling up with liquid light, liquid light coming from your breath.
A cascade of liquid light.
And your womb is drinking it in.
And as your womb drinks in this light, notice you're opening a channel of communication with her,
inviting her to start to relax and gently open, just breathing into this womb space.
Inviting the womb space to begin relaxing and receiving your intention.
To release all that she is able to release right now, breathing into your yoni, anchoring your breath
in your womb space.
And let her receive the light of your breath, you might notice some movement or expansion in your
body.
Just keep breathing, more relaxation coming into her.
And just notice how all of your senses, your inner senses, are widely opening.
And just notice what is she ready to show you.
Give a moment to listen and let her speak to you with words or images or an impression.
Just from your sixth sense of knowing, just notice how it feels physically as you're breathing into
the sensations, the feelings, the memories.
Just breathing in and allowing yourself to trust that your womb space can be restored to her
original blueprint, her full potential to create.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Breathing in and keep breathing in your attention for clearing and healing anything that's willing to
be released.
And when you sense now or feel or imagine that your womb is showing a willingness for the
journey of clearing and healing.
Just breathing deeply now, bringing your attention to the crown of your head, allowing yourself to
open and connect with the energy from above the vast sky, our sun, the stars, planets, the distant
ancient galaxies and even beyond to source light.
And notice also that you become aware of the energy from below our girth, Mother Gaia.
And just noticing how you are like a tree, a conduit between the two.
And ask now to receive the exact right frequency of light that is perfect for your womb.
What your womb needs in order to release.
Feel the energies from above and below, mixing into your hands that are resting on your womb
space.
You might experience it as a beam or a crystal, a color, a shape or a form, a diamond light or a
luminosity or another form that really makes sense to you.
And just allow this energy of this light to move into your hands, collecting it almost.
If you want to cup your hands, feel free to do that.
And just allowing your hands to be the conduit for this brilliant light in whatever form it's coming to
you.
And just let it stream through your belly into your womb, directly to the center of your womb, this
gorgeous healing light energy coming from your hands, your fingers, your palms, your wrists.
You can even circle your hands a bit in front of your womb.
Just sending more and more of this diamond light, crystal light, let it circulate throughout your
womb space, allowing anything that needs to be cleansed or purified or released to now be allowed
to move straight down through your perineum, deep into the earth beneath you.
Just keep breathing in your fresh breath, expanding your womb, breathing out and releasing
anything that does not belong there, that no longer serves you.
And again, you don't need to force or push this.
Just allowing or noticing, just noticing how things move in this space, no matter how small the shift
may be, know your breath can pick it up and move it out.
And anything stagnant or toxic, that energy melts right into the earth below to be transmuted and
transformed.
Finding yourself breathing in new life, filling up with natural vitality and creativity, and breathing
out everything that doesn't belong here, just letting it release deep into the earth.
And as you continue breathing deeply into your womb space, this time, as you expand, extending
your breath, allow this breath to move up into your heart space.
Notice how this breath can move from the womb to the heart in a circular breath.
Womb to heart and breath back to womb space.
Womb to heart, heart to womb.
And feel the pulse of your womb, the heartbeat of your womb, the breath of your womb connecting
to your heart.
Womb wrapped in the beautiful healing light, heart connected.
And placing a hand on your heart and one remaining on your womb.
Just breathing in this divine connection.
Allow a moment to give gratitude to Great Mother, to Spirit, to the guides that have come to
support you today in this healing, to the circle of women that are standing with you and will
continue to support you in the days and weeks ahead as you deepen your connection with the
power and wisdom of your womb.
Just taking a moment now, knowing you can return to this place anytime you need.
Just setting the intention for that to be so and preparing now to begin to come gently back, back to
the place where you started, back to your breath, coming closer to the surface and just becoming
aware gently of the surface that's beneath you, noticing where the surface meets the different
parts of your body.
Coming fully back into this present time, into this space, into this reality, back to the room where
you are.
Maybe rub your hands together a little bit just to fully come back in to your own body, feeling total
embodiment from the journey you've been on.
Wiggle your fingers and toes, take a breath and stretch a bit.
And whenever you're ready, opening your eyes, remembering everything.
So I thank you for being here.
Today is an honor to be amongst you and I hope it'll encourage you to spend more time in
connection to learn more about your own deep wisdom.
And if you're interested in knowing more about what I do and the work that I do primarily with
