Munay Ki Tenth Ceremony丨Introduction to the Womb Ceremony
This article is an introduction to womb rituals, part of which comes from Marcela Lobos’s books, and is self-translated by joya. Please do not reprint, copy, etc.! The spiritual world has its own laws~

What is the womb ritual?
The rite of the womb The rite of the womb is one of the Munay-Ki rites, a traditional initiation rite from the secret Andean and Amazon shamans.
This gift of healing and life belongs to every woman in the world who desires to receive and give life, and to every life that is born through the womb. Remember that we are not brought into this life to suffer, but to be part of the lineage of creators of our deepest desires and destiny. These female bloodlines are freed from suffering. I hope we remember:
- The womb is not a place to store fear and pain; the womb is a place where life is created and nurtured. The Womb is not a place to store fear and pain. The Womb is to create and give birth to life. *
After embracing this ritual and nourishing its truth, the womb no longer holds memories of pain and sorrow. The forgotten wisdom of the womb is restored and we become the creators of the world we desire for our children and grandchildren.
This ritual is available to any woman who desires to remember this important truth in her body. Once she undergoes the rites of the womb, she becomes a member of the bloodline of the womb guardians.
When we become guardians of the womb, we also become stewards of life. Our children are no longer children of fear and conflict, but children of light, with a natural inclination to become guardians of the earth.
The Womb Ceremony is also called the Thirteenth Ceremony because women have a cycle every 28 days, 13 times a year, following the cycle of the moon, and 13 is also a sacred number for women.
joya will perform a womb ceremony during the full moon of each month~ Welcome to participate!

Origins of Womb Ritual
In 2002, Marcela Lobos probably could not have imagined that in October 2014, she would gather nearly 200 women to pass on the energy enlightenment ceremony from the women of the Peruvian jungle.
The 12-year journey originated from a dream in which she dreamed that she was pregnant with a stillborn baby.
The country where Marcela grew up, Chile, was dominated by dictatorship and terrorism. She lived in fear and was so scared that she could not move even in her dreams. In the dream, four white midwives helped her deliver her stillborn child, while men with guns fighting were separated by a door. She woke up, frightened and shaking, knowing that this dream was special but not yet able to understand it.
In 2004, when Marcela was tidying up her room, a diary fell to the floor, and the page she opened recorded this dream. She read it briefly, and an unbearable sense of cruelty struck her after she returned the diary to the shelf. PTSD broke out and she fell into an uncontrollable panic.
At this time, she had studied the medicine wheel course of the Alberto Four Winds Association, and heard a voice saying, “Marcela, use the method you know.” Then, a female jaguar spiritual being appeared, “I will teach you the method of the light warrior, focusing on your light body.”
At this time, Marcela understood that her stillbirth represented fear, an emotion she had carried deep within her for nearly thirty years.
Marcela approached the fire in the hearth and saw from her mind’s eye a woman with a heritage stepping forward, placing her hands on her body, helping her release her fear into the fire, and dance in celebration.
These women told her, ‘Now you not only understand, but you also have the platform to take this message into the world, and we will be by your side and continue to teach you. '
For ten years this lineage of women supported Marcela in her shamanic training and stood with her as she led journeys through the jungles of the Peruvian Andes and Chile. It wasn’t until March 2014 that Marcela was told it was time to share the womb ritual.
While she was leading a group of women on a journey to the female shamans of the Shipibo tribe in the Amazon jungle, the four midwives she saw in her dream appeared again and they said: “Marcela, your womb is ready to provide the thirteenth ritual of Munay-Ki to the women. We will transmit this ritual to you.”
They told Marcela: “The womb is not a place to store fear and pain. The womb is a place to create and give birth to life.”
Marcela was told that the first person she had to give the ritual to was her mother, so she imagined her mother in this space and felt their wombs becoming one. She whispered the ritual to her mother, seeing the distinct energy of her own womb transfer into her mother’s womb.
Marcela continued to receive guidance and learn how to bring this ritual to more people, and on October 11, 2014 she performed the Tenth Ritual Womb Ritual - these women can now give the womb ritual.

The role of womb rituals
For women, it can release inner trauma, increase independence, and reduce competition and conflicts between the same sex. For men, they can connect with the emotions given by their mothers, release various male and female consciousnesses in the social framework, and relieve the trauma of the opposite sex they have suffered in the past. For other genders, they can connect with the feminine power in the body, eliminate excessive fear, and be more sure of themselves.

Who can participate
Boys, girls, and people of other genders can participate. No matter who they are, their bodies are connected with the feminine energy, as well as the consciousness with their mother and Mother Earth.

Feelings after the ceremony
Everyone’s physique is different, some people don’t feel it, and some people have fatigue reactions and excitement. After the blessing ceremony, please rest more, drink more warm water, and continue to observe changes in your mentality.

The following is Marcela’s self-report
The Womb Ritual, or kisma karpay, is the tenth and final Munay-ki ritual that connects us to the mysteries of the feminine. The masculine spiritual tradition emphasizes “ascent”, climbing to the highest peak, and moving towards the light, while the feminine practice is the exploration of “incubation”. They prompt the seeker to find refuge in a womb-like space, where we may need to adjust our eyes to dim light and grow accustomed to surrender.
This ritual focuses on the energetic womb, the center of creation, which passes between the feminine. Activate the inherited wisdom by placing your hands on your belly and saying: * “The womb is not a place to store fear and pain, the womb is a place where life is created and nurtured” *.
When experienced as a stand-alone ritual, it provides healing and helps clear away strong emotions, heaviness. Even if a woman loses her physical womb, she still has the energy matrix, which means she can still receive and transmit womb rituals.
Womb rituals touch the feminine in various ways—some miraculous, others more subtle. As with other rituals of munay-ki, if the inherited wisdom has been dormant, it is awakened; if it has been awakened, it is empowered.
Other examples of healing through womb rituals abound. Women experiencing labor pains find relief in abortion; others with irregular menstrual cycles find a comfortable rhythm; women who have experienced sexual abuse engage more deeply in their healing journeys; and still others are unable to feel the physical pleasure associated with their carnal desires. I’ve also heard from women who’ve wanted to conceive for a while but couldn’t get pregnant until their wombs were blessed by blood. Additionally, I heard from negatives who found peace after going through emotionally and physically disturbing abortion experiences.
Many women have gained a new appreciation for their wombs and their life-giving abilities—not just the possibility of bearing children, but also a positive recognition of creativity and healing abilities. Many people discover that their uterus is an aspect of themselves that they once took for granted or had completely forgotten about. They come to terms with their feminine qualities, including learning to adapt to the darkness and unknown (which is also symbolic of the pregnancy journey, as the fetus grows in the darkness of the womb) and following their natural cycles.
In every ceremony I have performed this ceremony, I have witnessed tears - from deep sorrow to deep joy. For transgender people, womb rituals can be emotionally charged. Those who were once feminine can fully mourn what is no longer feminine, or they may rejoice in this new way of honoring their womb, even though they no longer consider themselves feminine. Those who were once men are excited about their joining a sorority and feel a stronger connection to their energetic wombs. This sentiment is as unique as each person associated with this heritage.
I have recounted the many ways in which womb rituals can have a significant impact on an individual’s life. However, it also has consequences at the collective level. We are in a time of great change, and from a feminine perspective we can call this a moment of renewal, during which the old must die to create space for the new to be born. It is natural to experience painful contractions when old structures break down so that life can accumulate energy and provide nourishment for a new phase of humanity.
In many ways, we are in a pressure cooker, peeling away the past so that we can move into a fresh new destiny. This is the opportunity offered by womb rituals: to bravely descend into the womb of the earth - like the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna, who was stripped of her possessions on her journey to the underworld so that she could emerge in purity as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. This “underground” journey is the feminine side of the protagonist’s journey. Because she understands that the path she’s on isn’t just about the outside; it’s a process of deep incubation and deconstruction of her ego and fears. This is how we, like snakes, shed our old skin in order to create a new destiny for ourselves and all our relatives - those who crawl, fly, swim and walk on two or more legs.
We have the opportunity to create the new era and world we desire. However, if our creative centers are filled with fear and other dense energies, we cannot expect to birth anything of value. Given that hysterectomies (partial or total removal of the uterus and reproductive organs) are among the most common surgeries in the Western world today, it is clear that too many of us continue to carry the shame, pain, and trauma of the past—including those we inherited from our mothers and grandmothers—in our powerful regenerative centers, or maternal bodies: where we should be sowing the seeds of our desires and the destiny we desire. Because the feminine legacy is filled not only with the gifts of our fertility, but also with the trauma of yesterday.
Womb rituals have the power to clear away negative attitudes toward the feminine body that may be subtly affecting us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Womb Ritual offers a cleansing ritual that helps us realize our ability to release what is holding us back so that we can create the new era that awaits us on the horizon. It allows our center of power, our womb, to conceive and give birth to the golden age of our dreams.
Just like the uterus sheds its layers (endometrium) every month, we must use the same rigor and purpose to clear our negative beliefs and open the door to our true creativity, which is our birthright.
The womb ritual is for those feminine who are brave enough to be freed from pain. In one of my first visions, they shared with me: “* We are here to remind women in this time that you are not here to suffer. Remember that you are the creators of the world you wish to create for your children’s children. Let us cleanse and clear your womb so that you can regain the power to create what you desire.” *
Knowing that all humans come into the world through the womb, they want us to realize that all life - whether human or other creation - must be incubated in a space of love. The heritage of the Womb Ritual wants us to remember that the womb is the place where life is created and nurtured. Therefore, the womb is a pure vessel as it holds future generations. Even for those who do not have a physical womb or have not chosen to have children, the womb represents the creative potential of the manipura chakra, the birthplace of our personal dreams – so it is vital to keep the womb free from toxic influences.
This ascension clears the womb so that it can become a pristine vessel for all those in our lives who choose to be born. It also teaches initiates how to sow the seeds of the beauty they wish to create and works in conjunction with all other rituals. Initiates harness their desires first from the level of healers and guardians, cultivate this desire with the insight of the wisdom guardians, continue to develop this desire with the vision and love of the earth guardians, and bring it into the world with the help of the Creator.
Womb rituals help us remember that despite any pain or trauma we may have experienced, we do not have to continue to be victims of past stories. We are all given the power of new life; no matter how many symbolic deaths we experience, the grieving process always gives way to new life. Thus, womb rituals help us overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our commitment to change the world. This ritual helps us nurture our wombs and free ourselves from heavy emotions; otherwise, we might give birth to children and the rest of creation who will experience a disproportionate amount of insecurity. We want anything we create to be fun and have faith in the universe. Think of a child incubating for nine months in a womb filled with grief; when this happens, from the moment of conception, the raw makeup of their body is filled with feelings of adversity and inadequacy.
When I began offering womb rituals, the process of taking back my power happened naturally. I became more confident in my abilities as a teacher, and I began to understand that I was supported by a lineage that believed in my ability to share womb rituals. For me, taking back power isn’t about becoming a different version of myself; it’s about honestly and openly acknowledging my unpolished gifts and expanding my willingness to offer them to others.
I also say that for women who are reclaiming their power, womb rituals are not about “turning the tables” or ostracizing and dismissing men. Many people have lost a sense of connection to their deep personal powers, and in order to achieve a sense of harmony on this planet we must learn to work together and bring out each other’s true gifts. Through womb rituals, men and women are invited to achieve balance. While women share rituals with one another, men (and anyone who prefers this option) are asked to be stewards of the ritual and hold sacred space in their lives for the feminine (wife, mother, sister, daughter, or others). At the end of the ceremony, people are blessed.
Men and others who prefer it this way can imagine themselves in a womb - either their mother’s womb or the archetypal womb into which we all were hatched and dreamed into existence. The women then stand in a circle around these individuals and offer rituals from their wombs to this energetic mother’s womb. This blessing clears away negative imprints inherited from the womb, when we were not separated from our mother and absorbed her emotions and other chemical messages from her and her surroundings. It also clears negative relationships with the mother and the feminine.
As we engage in womb rituals and continue to clear our psyches and bodies of the difficult energies that reside in our most powerful life centers, we empower ourselves and others to make a difference. We cannot expect others to be responsible. As powerful feminine beings, we take back what has been deprived of us for so long, recognizing that we have the support of our lineage to help us do our part. We may experience this in our families, homes, neighborhoods, and communities. Ultimately, everything we do is for the benefit of future generations and our planet.
As women who open our hearts, we learn to nurture healthy dreams for the world. We might imagine our great-grandchildren thriving, all the children of the world going to bed with full, happy tummies—all the children of the world living in peace and love. We can also imagine all women living in homes free of violence and deprivation.
It goes without saying that we are in a time of great change. The world has been turned upside down, and we sit in the darkness—the void and womb of rebirth—waiting for something to emerge. We stand on the edge of an evolutionary opportunity: either be swallowed up by the nightmare of history and shaken back to sleep, or become the cartographers of our own destiny and dream of a new golden age. It is our choice where we go from here as we experience this collective night of the soul.
