Womb Centered Healing

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

Greetings, I am glad to be here exploring this new platform.

I am a Womb Centered Healing practitioner and the founder of the Womb Centered Healing Temple. I love supporting people of all genders to reconnect with the Womb, the source of all life. My journey with this approach to healing started with my experience of being conceived by a teenage mother in a Catholic family that never spoke about fertility and sexuality. This secrecy and shame around sexuality has caused loads of suffering in my family and I have devoted myself to doing my part to heal this, personally, for my family, and for the world.

My personal healing journey has included therapeutic writing, movement therapies (yoga, dance, tai chi, chi gung), touch therapies (massage therapy, aquatic bodywork), art therapy, vocal therapy, tantra, herbalism, somatic and journeying meditation, dietary change, breathwork, and Womb Awakening practices.

I took a pilgrimage last summer to Glastonbury, UK to connect with my European Indigenous ancestral roots and ask for specific guidance around how to proceed with my online business offerings as the business coaching I had received until then had fallen short of what I was needing. You see, I am quite clear that much of the online business approaches we see today are founded in using psychological manipulation to get folks to buy stuff they may or may not need. Most strategies taught by even the most spiritual seeming business coaches and educators do not question these foundations. I, however, studied psychology in college and am familiar with the research at the foundation of many of these strategies and find them unethical.

So after firing several coaches and leaving several masterminds, I realized that I would need to simply go to the source of my inspiration for my work and trust it would provide guidance to create a whole new approach to business. I received guidance at the Chalice Well World Peace Garden to create the Womb Centered Healing Temple online and build a collaborative platform for other Womb Centered Healing practitioners to support each other in the online business arena.

One of my collaborators introduced me to steemit as an alternative to other social media platforms that also leave these unethical business practices unquestioned. I am pleased to be here and learn more about how we can evolve together into partnership and collaborative models of conducting business and build caring economics back into our reality.

A book I am reading currently is "The Real Wealth of Nations" by Riane Eisler. If anyone is interested in creating a new approach to economy, I highly recommend it and hope to share more of my reflections on this here soon. I would love to hear yours._MG_9037.jpg

Welcome to steemit @samamorningstar! And such an interesting post too:) I also grew up in a Catholic household and to this day, I don't think I've heard either of my parents say the word sex let alone discuss it :) The guilt that surrounds anything sexual is so strange to me now, but it's real for so many I know. Very interesting work you do for sure!

I found you post because @zorank featured you in a Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry; feel free to join us any week with an entry of your own :)

Welcome here on Steemit! I´m very interested in your topics and finding you here. I´m sure you will feel well here.

You've been visited by @nateonsteemit on behalf of the Homesteaders Co-op!

What a great intro! Our founder, @sagescrub has delegated 30 SP to you from our community account here, in hopes that it'll alleviate any Mana/Resource Credit issues you may experience. You've also been added to our auto voter so you'll automatically get support from our community on a daily post we're hoping it can help you grow and succeed here. Steem is a great alternative social media platform, I hope you'll like it. I look forward to reading more about your journey! Here's some information that we give to all the new folks we can find. Hope it is helpful:

Welcome to steem :) We're very glad you're here, and I hope you can dig yourself in and get pretty well established here! You'll find there's a good group of folks here with homesteading and sustainability on their mind. Not the least of which are @sagescrub (creator of @homesteaderscoop), @riverflows (creator of @naturalmedicine), @pennsif (creator of @altlife, the alternative lifestyle show for homesteaders), and @freedomtowrite and @freedompoint (creators of @ghscollective). Those are the ones driving the sustainability bus on steem. Lots of others like @porters, @walkerland, @mountainjewel, @sustainablelivin (@mariannewest's profile for her Sustainable Living Podcast), @squishysquid, @goat-girlz, @senorcoconut, @vanessamidwife, @ppmsilver, @allyinspirit, @makinstuff, @simplymike, @craigcryptoking, @buckaroo, @papa-pepper, @wildhomesteading, and many many more are the ones in the community making it such a great group to be with. They're all well worth a follow. For a more complete list, @pennsif has compiled a directory of active steemian homesteaders that can be accessed HERE and is a great way to network and find Homesteaders near you if they're on here.

Most communities on steem currently meet on discord, so that's a really handy app for steemians looking to get into the swing of things. It offers a simple, user-friendly messaging place where we can all talk and keep up off chain. There are hopeful developments coming for on-chain options, but those are probably a few forks away. You'll learn about hard forks as you grow on the chain a bit. Til then, our three main groups are Homesteaders Co-op, Natural Medicine, and Global Homesteading Collective. The Homesteaders Co-op website is a marketplace built by @sagescrub where we are able to buy and sell sustainably produced goods using STEEM, SBD, and USD as well as gift and barter economics. It's the first marketplace of it's kind, and we're all quite excited about it.

A great tool for steem interaction is @ginabot. A splendid notification service that works through discord to let you know about steem interactions on chain. She'll let you know when you're mentioned, when people send you money, when certain folks make a post, or when posts are made with your favorite tags. Very very helpful, and I think most steemians use Gina.

One thing you'll find is that there are a lot of interfaces with the steem blockchain. There's steemit.com, busy.org, steempeak.com, partiko.app, d.tube, and many others that all boast different features and benefits. In any steem link, you can change out those sites and get the same post in different formats depending on your preferred interface. I prefer SteeemPeak and Partiko, but it's a fun learning experience to try a few for yourself, as the Steemit interface is a very basic interface that leaves much to be desired. Thats an intentional situation though, as Steemit Inc (Stinc) has bigger things to worry about.

I hope this little introduction can help you a bit. Things like this weren't being done much during the hectic time when I joined steem. As changes have been made to the chain and how it works, this kind of thing has become very important to help people stay engaged on the platform. With the price of steem being down (you'll find nobody cares terribly much about that), things have calmed down and many of the spammers and uninterested parties have gone inactive. As have many other good people, but (in general) the people you encounter here are the ones that truly desire to be here and see promise in the platform. We're here for the long haul, and we hope you find value here as well. :)

Welcome,

Nate and the whole sustainability community of steem.

Ooh, and don't forget to use all five tags! It'll help get more publicity by helping more people see your posts. As you learn, you'll find the more popular tags that are applicable to you.

Thank you for the support. I am not sure what all of this all means and how steem works yet, but grateful for the welcome and generosity.

It's a lot to learn for sure, but you'll get there, trust me!

Do you have any specific questions? I'm more than glad to help.

I noticed you're already on the NM discord, which is really awesome, I was excited to see you join.

I am actually needing help with SteemConnect which I gather is a somewhat necessary additional app to use all the things steemit has to offer. However, no matter how I try to login after signing up, it won't acvept any of my keys. It says they are invalid, but I copied and pasted directly from my key page. Is there any way you know of to get help with this?

Oh yes, you're probably not properly revealing your keys.

When you go to view your keys in your steemit wallet, the key is not the one that's shown. There's a button below what's shown that says "show private key." When you click that, it will show your actual key.

Posted using Partiko Android

I did notice that and I tried to use the private posting key to sign in to steemconnect but it didn't work. None of my private keys seem to work on Steemconnect. They work for signing into Steemit and my wallet. Any thoughts @nateonsteemit?

Very cool! I’m inspired to hear your approach and happy you found steem! I’ll be following for more. Thanks for the book recommendation 💙


Welcome to Steemit @samamorningstar!

How does Steemit actually work?

Oh yea, I have upvoted you and followed you. Many blessings!

Beautiful journey you're taking. I came in earlier in the week to give you an upvote since I knew I might not make it back in time. (I'm one of the judges at Pay it Forward...)

I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Glastonbury. It's a great place isn't it? I love Chalice Well, though it's been a few years since I was there. I lived in Wiltshire for awhile - one of the highlights was getting to attend rituals in Stonehenge. Just awesome!

There's also a bunch of us who do a "tarottuesday" feature that you might be interested in. We also have a Discord group for that if you'd be interested. Anyway, welcome to Steem.

I found you because @zorank featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation Contest. Keep up the great work!

Welcome to the community, @samamorningstar!

I hope you find a happy place here. The main trick is to keep on pushing and understand that on the first few months, it's very probable that you will only earn a few cents per post.

Congratulations on being featured by @aggamun in an entry for the Pay It Forward Contest

Howdy! You've been visited by @nateonsteemit on behalf of Homesteaders Co-op, the free, international marketplace for sustainable goods on steem!

I appreciated your post and featured it in today's second edition of our plankton support curation initative!

Stopping by again. I know I already commented once, but wanted to let you know that, out of your recent posts, this is the one I picked to highlight because of it's relevance. Enough people are not raised knowing about their sexuality and it's functions. I think it leads to a lot of unnecessary stress in our modern culture.

Healing

I love what you are doing. I love the concepts of seeking after healing, natural remedies, via yoga, prayer, meditation, gardens, etc. Sometimes, in life, you may have to fire people or say no things. Sometimes, you have to let go and change things up. That's hard to do but you did that and that is fundamental and very beneficial. Good work. I'm Oatmeal. Upvoted. Resteemed.

Thanks for your encouragement and for resteeming.
