Rite of the Womb
I am so grateful to also have received the Rite of the womb and grateful to be able to share it with other women. To give birth to this rite to the world, to all women who are open to receive it and find it essential to their healing.
You can send me a message if you would like to receive the Rite in person or together with a beautiful circle of women. This half day workshop will include the Rite, meditation, ceremonial and creative work.
Origin:
Nearly two hundred women gathered in ceremony at the Omega Institute on Saturday, October 11, 2014 to be the first to receive an energetic transmission-a rite-from a lineage of women from the Amazon jungles. With a half circle of men drumming and chanting, each woman walked a metaphorical path through the fallopian tubes and into the uterus, where they were met by a female shaman who administered the 13th of the Munay Ki-The rite of the womb-intented to heal women of the suffering they carry in their belly. Marcela Lobos was the first to receive the Rite, a 12 year journey she never could have foreseen in 2002, when she had a dream that started it all. In this dream she was pregnant with a dead baby. Having grown up in Chile, fear was always on Marcela´s doorstep and in her dream, four midwives in white helped deliver her dead baby while men with guns waged war outside the door.She sensed that the dream was significant but did not understand its meaning. Two years later, one of her journals fell on the floor and opened on the page describing her dream.After a cursory read she set it back on the shelf when a brutal knockk came at her door. As happens with post traumatic stress syndrome, Marcela was transorted into the past of war and she spiraled into a panic. She heard a voice say:"Marcela, apply what you know". Just then, a female jaguar spirit appeared."I will teach you the way of the luminous warrior. Focus on your light." Everything looked black but as she applied the principles she´d learned light filled the room. The four midwives from her dream appeared and said to her: "Now it is time to deliver that dead baby" In that moment Marcela understood that her "dead baby" was the fear she had carried deep in her belly for almost three decades. A lineage of women came forth, laying hands on her womb and helping with the release of that fire to the fire. Later, dancing in celebration these women told her:"Now you have understanding and you have the right platform to give this message to the World. We´ll be near you and keep teaching you." For ten years the lineage of women strenghtened and supported Marcela in her shamanic training and stood by her side as she led journeys into the Amazone and to the Andes. But it wasn´t until March 2014 that Marcela was told it was time to share the Rite of the Womb.She was leading a group of women to work with the female shamans of the Shipibo Nation into the jungle.During a shamanic journey with them, Marcela again met the four midwives who told her:"Marcela, your womb is readyto offer the 13th Rite of the Munay Ki for women. We´re going to give you a transmission." And the women proceed to transfer bright green juice from carefully chosen plants into every vein of Marcela´s body. When this green juice of life surrounded her womb it became a neon sphere of energy. "This was a purification of my body and psyche" Marcela said "And in giving me the medicine, they gave me the Rite and I was told to give it to as many women as possible, that it would heal men and heal life"
They said to Marcela: "The womb is not a place to store fear and pain. The womb is to create and give birth to life"
Marcela was told that the very first person she needed to offer the rite to was her mother. And she also visualized her mother and their wombs became one. She whispered the rite to her mother and saw the vibrant green of her own womb transferred to hers.A week later she gave the Rite to another 200 women in California and to another 200 in Miami.
Now it is up to the lineage to keep growing this healing to the four corners of the world, and in this way, bring healing to our earth. To become women who freed themselves from suffering. To keep nurturing the rite until there is no more fear or pain in our womb.
