Yoni art and nudity often raise questions.

Why paint it? Why show it? Why is it healing?

For me, yoni art is not about provocation or aesthetics.
It is about healing, remembering, and reclaiming the life force that lives in the body.

This is why I paint it – and why it changed my life.

 

Divine Feminine Art – Yoni Art as a Path to Healing, Wholeness & Embodied Life Force

For thousands of years, the feminine body, sexuality, and creative life force have been misunderstood, controlled, feared, and suppressed.

When I look back at my own life, I can see how deeply this collective history lived inside my body – long before I had words for it.

What was once sacred became labelled sinful. What was once life‑giving became something to hide. What was once divine became something to dominate.

Yoni art is not a trend. It is a remembrance.

A remembering of the body as holy. A remembering of sexuality as life force. A remembering of the feminine as a living, creative power.

Sexuality as Life Force – Not Something Separate

In many modern cultures, sexuality has been reduced to performance, consumption, or shame.

But in ancient traditions, sexuality was never separate from spirituality. It was understood as Shakti – the creative life force that moves through all of existence.

This energy is not just about sex. It is the same energy that:

• creates life

• fuels creativity

• ignites intuition

• opens the heart

• awakens consciousness

When this energy is blocked, suppressed, or shamed, it does not disappear. It turns inward. It becomes tension, illness, numbness, anxiety, disconnection, or self‑rejection.

When it is welcomed, felt, and embodied, it becomes healing.

The Yoni – A Sacred Portal

The yoni has been honoured across cultures as a sacred symbol of creation, wisdom, and divine feminine power.

Long before patriarchy reframed it as something obscene or dangerous, the yoni was:

• revered in temples

• carved into stone

• celebrated as the source of life

Yoni art reconnects us with this ancient knowing.

It invites us to see the feminine body not as an object, but as a portal. Not as something to judge, but something to listen to. Not as shameful, but as profoundly intelligent.

Trauma, Shame & the Body Memory

Sexual trauma does not only come from overt abuse.

It can also come from:

• Silence

• Repression

• Religious conditioning

• Being told our desire is wrong

• Learning to leave the body to be accepted

The body remembers what the mind tries to forget.

Shame lives in the tissues. Fear lives in the pelvis. Unexpressed grief and rage live in the womb space.

True healing must involve the body.

Tantra, Kundalini & the Return to the Body

Tantra is not about techniques. It is about presence.

It is a path of coming home to the body, breath, sensation, and inner truth.

Kundalini awakening is the rising of this life force through the body – dissolving old blocks, unearthing trauma, and restoring connection.

This process can be intense. It is not bypassing. It is not light and love only.

It is the sacred meeting of shadow and light.

Through tantra, conscious embodiment, and deep inner listening, I began to heal wounds that lived far beneath words.

How Yoni Art Healed Me – On a Deeply Personal Level

Yoni art became a mirror for me – and one I didn’t know I needed.

A way to see my body without judgment. A way to feel instead of analyse. A way to let what was buried surface gently.

Through painting, I began to meet parts of myself that had been pushed far away:

• Shame that was never mine

• Grief passed through generations

• Fear held in the pelvis

• Suppressed desire longing to be acknowledged

Each painting became a ritual – not something I planned, but something my body led me into. Each stroke a release. Each image a reclaiming.

Yoni art allowed my nervous system to soften in ways nothing else had before.

At some point in this process, something profound happened.

I suddenly realised that I no longer felt that my sex, my yoni, was something ugly, something wrong – or something slightly disgusting.

That belief had lived quietly inside me for years. Not loudly. Not consciously. But deeply.

When it dissolved, it was deeply emotional. Almost shocking.

To feel my body shift from shame to tenderness. From distance to intimacy. From judgment to reverence. From ignorance to profound self-love.

That moment alone released layers of old trauma, I didn’t even know I was still carrying.

And with it, my life force began to move more freely.

Because when we carry disgust, shame, or rejection toward our own bodies and sexuality, our life energy is naturally held back.

How could it not be?

We are taught – subtly and overtly – that pleasure is dangerous, that desire is wrong, that the feminine body is something to control, correct, or rise above.

So we tighten. We numb. We leave the body.

Yoni art helped me return.

Not by forcing anything – but by allowing what was already there to be seen, felt, and loved back into wholeness.

Divine Feminine Art as Medicine

Divine feminine art is not just decorative.

It is medicine.

It works subtly, through the body and in the unconscious. It reminds the viewer of something ancient and true.

Many women (and men) feel deeply moved, emotional, or activated when they encounter yoni art – even if they cannot explain why.

That is the body remembering.

Reclaiming What Was Never Meant to Be Taken

For centuries, feminine power was feared because it could not be controlled.

It was labelled:

• dark

• dangerous

• sinful

• hysterical

• witchcraft

But darkness is not evil. It is the womb of creation.

Reclaiming the feminine is not about fighting. It is about remembering.

Remembering that sexuality is life. That the body is sacred. That pleasure is healing. That presence is power.

An Invitation

Yoni art is an invitation.

To soften. To feel. To come home.

To release shame that does not belong to you. To reclaim the wisdom of your body. To remember yourself as whole.

This is the work of the divine feminine – and it is deeply personal to me.

All that I do in my art – my yoni art,  my goddess series, the more abstract energy pieces – is guided by my divine helpers, the goddesses themselves.

They guide me because they want this truth to be remembered and shared:

That when we suppress, shame, or deny our feminine energy, we are not whole.

We have been taught this disconnection for far too long. Taught to mistrust our bodies. Taught to fear our desire. Taught that our life force should be controlled or contained.

And this teaching has not been neutral. It has wounded us. It has damaged us.

Now is the time to shed what never belonged to us. To release what harmed us. And to remember ourselves as whole, sovereign, and alive. 

Written from lived experience, embodiment, and deep reverence for the sacred feminine.
