Padma Aon Prakasha - Womb Wisdom: Awakening the Creative and Forgotten Powers of the Feminine

WOMB WISDOM

Womb Wisdom is a book that can reactivate the deep, inherent, often forgotten feminine power within us. Taking Tantra to the next level of unconditional love, appreciation, gratitude, and compassion for all beings, Womb Wisdom reveals the union of male and female through the greatest secret that women have: the womb. Woven within the pages is the intimate true-life account of how Anaiya opened the seven gates and five spirals that eventually led to the full opening of her womb. This book is a hands-on practical approach, packed with tools and ways to integrate this wisdom into your everyday lives. Womb Wisdom is a vital key to dissolving the problems in modern-day relationships and to entering the mystical chamber of the heart in union with the womb, in relationship. Women and men together as one!

MARGOT ANAND, AUTHOR OF THE ART OF SEXUAL ECSTASY

Padma and Anaiya Aon Prakasha have written a beautiful book that teaches us how to listen to the ancient, creative messages hidden deep within the cyclical powers of the feminine soul. Womb Wisdom is a gift of reawakening at this crucial time of great shift upon our planet.

LINDA STAR WOLF, AUTHOR OF SHAMANIC BREATHWORK: JOURNEYING BEYOND THE LIMITS OF THE SELF

Womb Wisdom speaks to the soul of all women, revealing ancient teachings that every girl should receive prior to her emergence into womanhood. Through beautiful poetic writing, the authors describe how the womb not only births children but also a womans spiritual potential, personal healing, and the ability to relate at the deepest level of intimacy. Offering powerful healing meditations, this is an essential read.

Womb Wisdom activates the spiritual knowledge of the sacred union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine within, catalyzing the birth of a harmonious and evolved consciousness. Through the body-based portal of the womb the reader is provided an invaluable opportunity to integrate shadow and light, access the voice of inner guidance, and emerge anew into divine wholeness.

DANIELLE RAMA HOFFMAN, AUTHOR OF THE TEMPLES OF LIGHT

Womb Wisdom brings to the reader and world the hidden (but not secret) power of women, and in particular the womb. Not only is it a profoundly healing read, but it is a delightful read. The authors point to how we hold the power to weave ourselves into the web of life and give us the means to do so. This book offers ancient ways to heal the places within and without where we feel separate and divided. The womb, this book shows, holds wisdom for us all.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my beloved Anaiya for being with me, for loving, and for having the dedication to burn through the shadow of the spirals with love and passion. I thank all the women and men who contributed in some way to this book through their healing and willingness to transform. I thank Laura Re for her initial help and for the piece The Voice of the Womb. Thank you to Jon Graham at Inner Traditions for being open, and feeling what this is all about.

PADMA AON PRAKASHA

I would like to thank my womb for welcoming this arduous, wondrous journey, and my heart for having the capacity to withstand these trials and healings. I would also like to thank my shadow for being such a good sport.

None of this would have been possible without the guidance, challenges, support, and love from my beloved Padma, who walked alongside me every step of the way. It has only been possible through our reverence of the feminine that these paths and maps have revealed themselves again so that every woman has access to this sacred essence within. To all our readers, I say one last thing: Tap in to this loving wisdom, because it is there for you, silently and patiently waiting within the cave of your heart.

Preface

Padma Aon Prakasha

Womb Wisdom: Awakening the Creative and Forgotten Powers of the Feminine presents information that is not new; rather, it represents a resurfacing of wisdom about the hidden power of women that has been lost and forgotten. This book is written from my experience of initiation into many different sacred traditions and lineage teachings about the womb found in the Indian, Tibetan, Gnostic Christian, Egyptian, and Hebrew sacred traditions. This wisdom was originally part of One Teaching practiced thousands of years ago, before its elements were separated piece by piece into different traditions to preserve their sanctity and the transformative power that they hold. These lineage teachings gave rise to direct experience of the womb and were validated in experiential teachings, healings, and openings of the womb shared in retreats and workshops for thousands of women.

In India, this journey is taken through smriti and sruti, learning through traditional initiation and wisdom, and then by receiving experiential wisdom through direct revelation once one has mastered a certain aspect of the tradition. This becomes the mainstay of any sacred tradition, for as the teacher begins to teach, more is given to the teacher by the lineage to share.

I have been initiated over the past thirteen years to bring all these pieces of Womb Wisdom back together again. My journey has taken me to more than sixty countries, to hundreds of sacred sites known and unknown, and to many teachers, most of whom are not known, some of whom even have no names, and all of whom have no wish to be known in the world at large.

These journeys involved the deepest forms of sitting meditation and shamanic ritual in sacred sites, from the heart of the Aboriginal deserts of Australia to the fertile druidic lands of Ireland and from within the stone circles of England. From delving deep into the light and shadow of tantric relationships, to exploring the depths of the body and the power of the life force and light force in Egypt, or becoming aligned to the healing of the heart and soul in the south of France, it has been my role to be initiated into these lineages, to meditate to receive the wisdom of the lineage, so that I might share it in a form accessible and understandable for you today.

Lineage transmissions are not linear. Once one is authentically initiated, ones life changes drastically, and one can receive all the accumulated wisdom of the lineage from thousands of years. This is authorized by the elders of that tradition, many of whom have passed on from their bodies into the spirit world.

Before I could teach others, I had to fully experience. My experiences in the mystic arts began with my initiation at age two into the Brahmin lineage, then beginning to read the Bhagavad Gita at age four, followed by the Koran, the Bible, and the European philosophers by age seven. At age twenty-one, an experience of God Consciousness changed my life forever.

Shortly after this, I was initiated by the Divine Mother in India. In this initiation, I was led to an ancient temple high up in the Himalayas. As I entered the sanctum of the temple and went up to the altar, hundreds of people swarmed around me, chanting
