A Brief Note on Spiritually Bypassing Survivors
A quick note on personality shaming in regards to sexual + reproductive trauma:
Some harmful things that well-meaning people say when you’re an assertive, outspoken woman who has survived sexual and/ or reproductive trauma;
1. “......but you’re so strong......”
2. “ You are a very sexual woman.”
3. “ It couldn’t have been that bad.”
4. “ Things like that don’t happen to people like you.”
5. “ You are an intense person......”
6. “ If it was that bad then why are you so strong?”
7. “ Everything happens for a reason... it made you who you are today.”
This is for all the ladies out there who have survived (or are surviving) sexual trauma, only to have those closest to them deny their credibility.
Your personality does not need to fit into society’s mold in order for you deserve to be heard. Having trusted the wrong person (or people) does not make you weak.
Remember, these people making comments like this to you are personality shaming. They are literally doing the same thing as responding to a woman who has been raped by asking her what she was wearing. Spiritual bypassing is rampant today while authenticity is rare.

There were times over the past 20 years of being involved with the education of birth care providers and humans who are preparing to give birth that I felt I was mindful of being inclusive to people who have C-sections. However, after having been through it, I now see painfully clear how little I understood or provided in that way. It is in the Spirit of expansion that we offer you our newest Original Instructions certification program, My Sacred C-Section. In it we include training surrounding nutrition, comfort measures, scared tissue remediation, physical rehabilitation, general postpartum care, herbal allies, traditional ceremonial practices, and a road map to recovery for those who give birth via C-Section and their care providers.

Vaginal Steaming DIY + Recipe —> A Traditional Indigenous Herbalism practice
Bottom (often Vaginal) steaming has been practiced since time immemorial by women from all continents albeit in varying forms. Bottom, or vaginal, steaming can be very helpful for passively receiving plant medicine into the labia, vaginal canal, cervix, womb, and ovaries. In addition to receiving medicinal properties from the essential oils and nutrients Which are evaporating within the steam, you are also working to directly heat up the womb center, which is key in promoting fertility.
