Have you ever wanted your best friend on tap 24/7? What if you had a direct open phone line with truth, with yourself, on tap? An innate wisdom and sacredness that knows which choices to make, how to move, how to eat, how to sleep, how to breathe, how to walk, how to dress. A wisdom that knows how to respond all of the time, in any given situation, even in new situations that spring up unexpectedly – and, it was absolutely free of charge? Wouldn’t that be remarkable?
Well ladies, you do, we all do!
The cervix is something all women have yet it is not an area of a woman’s body that is commonly talked about in our daily lives.
The cervix seems to be mysterious and mystical – not just to us as women but also to men too. On a practical level the cervix is the neck of our uterus. It is where the swabs are taken for our regular pap smears, which takes samples of cervical cells to check for abnormalities. Connecting to our ovaries, uterus, breasts, and cervix supports us to connect to the natural stillness we are as women which we miss while we are running around in the busy-ness of life. But when we don’t connect to our cervix, it is like the anchor is missing: a fundamental part of who we are as women is brushed aside.
In developing a relationship with our physical body and listening to its signs we can connect to all parts of our body: our toes, our fingers, our breasts, and our cervix. If we are tired, or have over eaten, or not taken care of ourselves, our body shows us, for example, with indigestion, or aches and pains.
As women, energetically our cervix is the place where we hold our sacredness.
The cervix resides deep within our physical body and, when we develop a relationship with it, it can show us everything, by us simply asking ‘what does my cervix say?’.
In consciously choosing to connect to the cervix we cannot ignore what is truly going on in our bodies and in our lives.
More so, we cannot deny the woman that we truly are, or deny what our body needs in that given moment. It is a beautiful compass that is our deepest best friend, and it always knows everything. Connecting to the cervix also brings a deeper acceptance of not only who we are, but where we are in our life.
There is no judgment, simply a deeper knowing and understanding – how beautiful is that?!
The connection with our cervix is also deeply practical – two real daily living examples here highlight the precision and beautiful daily guide the cervix is for women:
“I started polishing my nails again, and when I don’t connect to my cervix it is like the nail polish breaks off easily because I am not moving my hands delicately, yet when I connect to my cervix that really reflects that how I’m using my hands differently and the nail polish stays on longer”.
“There is a lot to change in my practical day to day living, where by asking ‘what does my cervix say?” it can lead the way. For example my cervix takes me shopping – it’s very precise in anything from groceries, to household items or clothes. Now I realise I need a new mattress, new duvet cover and new towels to honour me and my cervix is very precise in what will nurture me.”
In building a relationship with our cervix, and playfully living life and asking ‘what does my cervix say?” in any given situation, it is the best friend we can ever have. It is a beautiful conversation to start amongst ourselves as women. So, maybe the first question is:
What does your cervix say?
