Our womb includes the energetic field of the entire pelvic space. The womb is a container and receiver of energy. It’s also a powerful portal to our primordial life force energy, a place to connect to our power and truth. Following certain traumas and life experiences, our life energy can become blocked in the energetic centre of the womb. When we can bring healing into our trauma, we can bring life force energy into the womb and restore the womb as a sacred space. 

From the perspective of shamanic medicine, our energetic body is a vessel of light and traumatic experiences can result in a shattering of our energy body and a loss of our vital life force or soul energy. When this happens the vital force of the soul (or life force energy) is not connected to the physical reality of life which can have a major impact on the quality of our existence.
