Womb Healing & the Maternal Lineage: Returning to Wholeness
Womb healing isn’t just about healing menstrual cycles or preparing for fertility. It’s about remembering who we are, and who we come from. It’s about reclaiming the power that has been passed down, lost, and reshaped through generations of women.
When I first began tending to my womb, I had no idea it would lead me to my mother. And then to her mother. And then to the places inside myself that were still holding on to stories that didn’t even start with me.
You were once in your grandmother’s womb It still blows my mind: when your grandmother was pregnant with your mother, your mother’s ovaries were already forming. That means the egg that became you was already there. You were physically inside your grandmother’s body—carried within your mother as she was being carried.
This is more than poetic. It’s a real, biological transmission. And energetically, it means your body remembers things your mind might not. It means womb healing doesn’t start with just you. It starts with recognizing the lineage that lives in your cells.
There is no real separation in the beginning One of the most powerful teachings I’ve received comes from the book Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith. In the early stages of life, there is no “me” and “you.” A baby and mother share one emotional field, one nervous system. We are fused.
Eventually, we learn to walk away, go to school, grow up. But that energetic fusion? It doesn’t always break. Especially for daughters, the emotional and spiritual ties to the mother can stay sticky. We carry her pain. We try to love for her. We shape ourselves to not disappoint her. And sometimes, we become afraid to fully shine or take up space—because we don’t want to “leave” her behind.
The root and sacral chakras are shaped here Our root chakra—the one responsible for our sense of safety and belonging—is formed in this early bond. So is the sacral chakra, which governs creativity, boundaries, and emotional flow. If our relationship with our mother was overly close, inconsistent, or filled with unspoken tension, we can develop blockages here. That can look like:
People pleasing and fear of rejection
Guilt when you succeed or outgrow your family
Suppressing your voice or sensuality
Attracting emotionally unavailable or codependent partners
Womb healing brings you back to you I used to think healing my womb was just about soft rituals and steaming. But it turned out to be a radical act of sovereignty. I had to feel what wasn’t mine. I had to grieve the love I didn’t receive the way I needed it. I had to forgive not by forgetting, but by choosing me.
Calling back your power doesn’t mean cutting off love. It means choosing truth over enmeshment. It means stepping out of guilt and into grounded compassion. It means becoming a woman your mother may not recognize—but one your lineage desperately needed.
When I healed, my relationship with my mother changed We used to be so close that I felt like I couldn’t breathe without worrying about how she felt. We loved each other so deeply—but it wasn’t always healthy. There were unspoken expectations. Silent guilt. And a fear of becoming fully myself in case I’d hurt her.
It wasn’t easy. But through deep womb work, inner child healing, and learning how to listen and speak from love—not blame—we found our way back to each other. Healthier. Freer. Still close, but no longer fused.
Your healing is hers too Even if your mother never does this work, your healing ripples through time. It gives her soul permission to rest. It opens the door for softness, for a new kind of love that isn’t based on duty or guilt—but on respect and choice.
Womb healing is lineage healing. It’s where you call your power back into your body. It’s where you decide that love doesn’t have to come with sacrifice. It’s where you remember that your body is not just yours. It’s your mother’s. Your grandmother’s. And yours to reclaim.
Want to start? Try placing your hands on your womb tonight. Say aloud: “I release what is not mine. I return to my center. I am safe to be me.”
That’s where it begins.
