Womb of Creation

We were all created in our mother’s womb, about fourty weeks of formation in that watery environment of embryonic transformation. As adults, most of us have difficult stories of injuries, loss, and trauma, that have impacted us since we were born. We also possess a rich tapestry of pre-verbal somatic stories, feelings, and deep wisdom from our prenatal womb time. By working on ourselves and attempting to more deeply understand the events that have shaped our current self, we migrate back to the difficult, scary, and overwhelming events to renegotiate who we are in the world in order to be happier and healthier. This is the standard template for talk and somatic therapy, to re-work the difficulties and emerge more whole and alive.

Another approach is to realize that everything is happening in the present moment, that the womb of creation is continual, the morphing, growing and developing self of the womb is an ongoing process and in the background of everything we currently do. So the crucible of creation, the heat, the struggle, and the alchemy of transformation is our life-giving essential process and available continuously.
