The Yoni

The Yoni is a temple.
⁣
It holds the pearl of the clitoris with its tent-like hood. You can see it clearly if you gently pull apart the outer labia with the fingers of both hands and draw the hood back. It’s highly sensitive to the touch and needs to be handled with delicate care for the gifts it can bring.

The sides of this hood either end directly or with a connection in the two inner labia. The inner labia also form an oval from the clitoris hood to the yoni opening (entrance to the vagina). A little higher up, you can see the urethral opening.⁣ The yoni is not always welcoming and open as many might hope it would be. In actuality, it varies in its state of openness and being tightly closed. It also depends on the strength of a woman’s muscles in that area.

For the yoni to truly begin to radiate and magnetise energy to it, it must belong to the body of a woman who feels deep self love and loved by others, accepted for sexuality (even if it’s only her accepting her own). Once she is loved, her yoni has a power of depth and passion like nothing else. It works magic throughout her body and throughout whomever wishes to dance with her intimately. opened before it can reveal its full depth and breadth. Deep breathing, sighing and moaning in sensual pleasure across the body grant access to the yoni.

Whether we are young or old, seventeen or seventy-seven, whether we have beautiful or lonely and traumatic experiences, our yonis always keep open pathways to our inner selves and will never be completely closed to us. When we decide to embark on a journey of discovery to the depths of our yoni, it makes no difference where we are in our sexual experiences.⁣ On this journey, we can discover the flower of our femininity and the strength of our independence. A woman who understands her yoni, also is aware of her desires and can express them clearly. This self-awareness and confidence pervade her entire life and are passed into her entire being.⁣

A yoni is as unique as the face is. In some women, the outer labia hide both the clitoris and the inner labia, like sacred little jewels under protection. In others, the outer labia are flat, exposing the proud clitoris and wildly prominent inner labia. Other women's inner labia may be very long, while the clitoris is surrounded by the outer labia. Some inner labia are uneven and express themselves evermore uniquely. Our labia, according to Taoist teachings, contain our fear of opening ourselves and our desire to hide. Both emotions can be released and resolved through Yoni Massage.

The clitoris also stores nervousness, mistrust, impatience and tension, according to these teachings. Again, gently massaging the clitoris can help to clear these emotions, which result in sensual and intimate blockages. Whether you open to allow a practitioner to do this for you or if you bring yoni massage into your own self practice, bring this through for yourself. You may be surprised at just how much tension and fear you can truly clear to make way for reclaiming a powerful, authentic and sensual self expression in life.
