Hysterectomy & Energy

[Guest guest]

Hi--

 

Re: identification with female reproductive organs

 

I think that women have a tendency much like men to highly identify with

their own sexuality. I have had women go through some hard times over

hysterectomies because they were so highly overidentified with them. The

loss was, in their minds, a loss of feminity. I think that is also the

struggle through menopause for most. I think part of the freedom feeling has

to do with dealing with this on a personal level and coming to terms with

it.

POST SCRIPT

 

We as women have been taught from the age prior to puberty that having a

period makes us a woman. So, one eventually tries to reason one's way out of

this statement when it comes to cessation of cycling.

 

There are probably other things that we are taught either verbally or

nonverbally around this subject that have a big bearing on how we view this

change.

 

In order to get through the change, if natural, gives one time to think

through this. When one has surgical removal the time frame is highly

shortened and could cause one to not have time to work through it.

Therefore, if there are still issues surrounding this, then the personal

hiding of those issues would be quite sacred.

 

Dont' feel bad about making some mistakes when it comes to psychic gauche. I

have made some really dumb ones myself. Maybe, this lady needs to feel her

anger over this whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't be knowledgeable about

events sometimes and have to have faith in what was suppose to happen did.

Hi Folks:

 

Been browsing the list more than participating a lot lately as I have been out

teaching and wandering, but I thought I'd throw my pennies in the fountain here.

 

One of the first experiences I had with saying something gauche to someone while

doing an energetic assessment was in a demonstration on a volunteer at a

workshop;

I felt an " empty " area and coolness over her lower abdomen and " knew " she had

had

a hysterectomy. When I mentioned this she grew very upset and got off the

table;

not only had she not divulged that information to me, she had not shared it with

her peers either, and I had inadvertently " outed " her.

 

This made me think a lot, not only about psychic tact but also about our

attitudes

about our uterus and how it can affect us. One thing that is important to

remember is that your energy body carries a memory of your organs even after

they

are removed; this is one reason, besides nerve track memory, that a person can

have phantom pain in a limb that has been amputated. I have also heard women

state

they continued to experience the somatic feelings of their cycles after

menopause

or hysterectomy that didn't physically correlate with what was going on.

 

So for the person who is adversely affected by energy depletion or leaking after

a

hysterectomy, the leak can be sealed and the field can be resonated to the

template in the fifth layer of the aura so that with the exception of

procreative

functions they can feel more " whole " .

 

A comment from the Native tradition about menopause.... as in Pagan traditions,

Natives see women as going through three distinct phases of their lives, the

maiden, the mother, and the elder (or in Pagan tradition, the crone). During

their adult or mother time, they have a monthly that is a time of great power

and

creativity, and they are required to cloister themselves and focus on that

energy,

resting and regenerating in the Moon Lodge. They do not touch weapons, cook, or

even brush their own hair during this time. A young man wishing to marry must

cook a meal for her family to prove he is capable of caring for her during her

Moontime. (Sounds like a good idea to me!) Once a woman reaches menopause, she

becomes even more individually powerful, because all that energy and creativity

that was coming out of her now stays within, creating wisdom. The elder woman in

a

Native tribe has a strong role and is very respected. A grandmother's voice

needs

to be heard before important decisions are made that affect the tribe.

 

So, how does that affect us? I think that we have lost a great deal of our

respect for our female functions and aspects in this society, feeling that we

are

shameful and dirty, feeling embarassed of our natures, and then, when it is all

over, feeling grief and guilt that we are not " women " anymore, which could not

be

farther from the truth. I read an article recently that there are women who are

taking birth control pills without the " break " so that they will not have a

period

at all, a very unnatural and dangerous practice. Where are we going with our

wisdom, with our connection to ourselves and the earth, if we cannot be at peace

with our bodies? This is who we are, and even when, due to illness or accident,

we

lose that small receptacle that lives in our bellies or our mammary glands, we

are

still very much women, genetically, chemically, emotionally and spiritually.
