What do you call your Yoni? (Or your female partner’s yoni?)
Pussy. Foofee. Vagina. Private Parts. Cunt. Vulva. Honey Pot. Nishy. Cooch. Vajayjay. Hooha. Poonanee.
What do you call your yoni? (And for my men friends - what do you call this part of a woman?) Or do you not call it anything - just gesture to it when necessary saying vaguely down there…?
What is your relationship like with your yoni? (or the yonis in your life?) Have you ever thought about this relationship at all?
One of my favorite moments came at the beginning of a recent interview I did with Tami and Rachel from Rise TV when the two ladies, who have been friends and work partners for many years now, turned to each other with surprise and laughingly exclaimed, I don’t know your word for it!?!
All it took to open that conversation was that simple question, What do you call your yoni?
These two women have dedicated their lives to self care and self growth, but had never discussed this important part of their bodies with each other. I have seen this over and over in workshops and with one on one clients. So much wuwu, spiritual and self care practices focus on the heart, and intuition but leave the yoni out in the cold! (And yonis do not like to be left out in the cold ;-) )
Now this is not really surprising, given our culture’s relationship with femininity and women’s bodies. I could write a dozen books about that, but that is not my point.
My point here is that yonis are an incredibly important part of womens’ bodies, that have, at the very least, received a ton of negative energy over the years.
If you are a woman - I ask you just to think about your relationship with your yoni right now. Ask yourself:
What do you truly, honestly feel and think about your yoni? Do you think she is pretty or ugly? A source of pleasure and creativity or a dirty source of pain and discomfort?
What negative messages has she received over the years?
Has she received any positive messages? How did that feel?
If you are a man - I ask you to think about your relationship with yonis in your life current or past. As yourself:
What do you truly, honestly feel about yonis?
Do you ever use the word pussy to mean someone is weak? How does that feel to you?
What sort of relationships have you seen between the women in your life and their yonis? Are they generally healthy or not?
How does this whole email make you feel? (Next week I will be sharing a special offer for men, in case you are feeling left out in the cold ;-) )
Every relationship begins with a Get to Know Each Other phase, including your relationship with parts of your own body. Start with where you are. Take an assessment of your relationship with Yoni. Try not to judge yourself if the relationship is not so great right now. Again, given our society and cultural conditioning, that is really normal.
Let me know what comes up for you with this inquiry.
