Episode 26 - A Mayan Healer's Take on (In)Fertility
Disclaimer: sound quality starts off really poorly but it gets better after a couple of minutes!
Nikté comes from a line of Mayan healers and midwives. On this episode of the podcast, we talk about Mayan medicine and how Mayan medicine looks at fertility and infertility. We discuss how you can heal your mind, body, and soul, how you can prepare for a pregnancy and how you can connect to your womb to heal trauma. Nikté explains how she supports women on their fertility journeys with ancient techniques such as belly massage and the rebozo – a technique that works to realign your womb and pelvis by using a piece of fabric. Also definitely recommended during and after pregnancy!
Top quotes:
Nikté: “The message is always, first heal the home for the new being and after it will come.”
Nikté: “I feel there is a lot of fear about fertility here [in the Western world]. I feel that society here is only looking outside all the time but not inside, not connecting with spirit, with the womb.”
Françoise: “fertility is probably one of the biggest insecurities in a very secure world, in a world where you can control everything. And then there’s this one thing, your body, that you can’t control. And rather than go within and feel how the body is doing, what it needs, we’re afraid that we can’t trust the body, that it will fail us.”
Nikté: “When we are not connected with spirit, the mind creates everything. It’s like we’re living like a robot. ‘I drink water because it’s necessary, but not because I feel it’s necessary.’ It’s the mind. But when we are connected with spirit, with our soul, we know how it is inside.”
