Sheela-na-gig – Irish Celtic goddess of protection, birth, death, fertility, joie de vivre and feminine power.
Around 2000 years ago, there were still goddesses like the Celtic Sheela-na-gig, who offered her womb as a magical place of worship and adoration, or the Greek Baubo, who, as the personified Yoni, made everything around her laugh with her humorous and juicy jokes. Today, more and more women complain of abdominal pain or feel cut off from their abdomen, suffer from vaginal inflammation or even struggle with uterine cancer. Our once sacred womb space has become a place of struggle, a place full of anger, pain, resignation and grief – and all too often without us even realizing it. Where has our laughter gone? Our joy in a fulfilled sexuality? Our lust that flows naturally and beautifully from us?
We women carry the legacy of the women before us in our wombs, and with it the legacy of our cultural history, both positive and negative. Not only does the humor of the Baubo dwell deep within, but also the pain and tears of generations of women who have experienced oppression, violence and struggle against the feminine.
Our womb demands healing. Many abdominal illnesses are a desperate cry for attention, for attention to our story and its healing, and to our deeper longings.
A Yoni healing massage offers the opportunity to bring light into the darkness of the womb, to cleanse the dross of history and reconnect with the essence of our femininity. Through the loving and mindful touch in the outer and inner area of the Yoni, old blockages can be released, pent-up feelings can be brought into flow and numb spots can be reawakened. The Unconscious thereby comes into consciousness and dormant memories are released. When our womb space is freed from old burdens and cleansed, we regain access to what the Yoni is at the core of its being: a place full of magic, beauty and depth, full of desire and vitality, full of laughter and love. I wish that the Yonis of the women of the world remember their laughter again and that their bellies begin to glow.

Touch, the most forgotten language – Osho
Massage is something you can probably start doing, but you’ll never be done with it. It goes on and on and the experience goes deeper and deeper, higher and higher all the time. Massage is one of the most delicate arts of all. It is not just a matter of expertise, it is much more a matter of love. Learn the technique first. Learn the technique and then forget it.
Then just feel and move from the feeling. When you go deep into learning, 90% of the work is done through love, 10% through technique.
By touching alone, a loving touch, something in the body relaxes. If you are loving and feel compassion for the other person, and if you feel their innermost values, if you don’t treat them as if they were a mechanism to be fixed, but an extremely valuable energy; if you are grateful that they trust you and allow you to play with their energy, then you will gradually feel as if you are playing an instrument. The whole body becomes an instrument and you can feel harmony forming inside the body.
This will not only be healing for the other person, but also for you. Massage is necessary in today’s world because love is no longer present. In the past, just the touch of lovers was enough. A mother touched her child, played with his body and it was massage. The husband played with his wife’s body and it was massage; it was enough, more than enough, it was deep relaxation and part of love. But that has been lost in the world today. All we know is hectic and stress. Gradually we have forgotten where to touch, how to touch and how deep to touch. And really, touch is one of the most forgotten languages.
(…) So be devout. If you touch the body of a human being, be devout – as if the Goddess herself were present and you were simply serving her. Flows with total energy. Whenever you see the body flowing and the energy creating a new harmony, you will experience a feeling of happiness like never before. You will fall into deep meditation. When you massage, do nothing but massage.
Do not think of other things, for they are distractions. Be in your fingers in your hands as if your whole being, your whole soul, were present. Don’t let it be just a physical touch. Your whole being flows into the body of the other, penetrates it and relaxes the deepest layers. And make a game out of it. Don’t do it like work, make it a game and have fun with it. Laugh and let the other laugh too.
