To be honest, I didn’t know much about my body until I decided to start tracking my cycles as a natural form of birth control. As I learned more about this, I went on a journey of learning more and seeking more information about healing the feminine. I came across a video that shared this book and it was on my to read list for a long time. I finally did and I am so happy I did.
First of all, the title is provocative and goes against so many things that we have been taught as women. Society has told us for a long time to be ashamed of our bodies. Even the words that we use for our sexual parts are filtered. We call things our “privates“ or “down there.”
In this book Regena Thomashauer a.k.a “Mama Gena” shares her story in finding power in her “pussy” and encourages other women to do the same.
We live in a patriarchal world and although there have been a lot of changes, this part is still very true. She brings up a lot of this in the book. And how so many systems have been set up by “PWC” a.k.a “people with cocks.” I love the humor she brings into the book along with sharing some key insights that she has discovered on her journey.
She shares this idea of pleasure and how we as women should do things that pleasure us. To dress in things that make us feel beautiful, to notice different textures and what feels good on our bodies. Walk around with a silk robe and wear things that make you feel sexy. Light a candle. Create a space that makes you light up. Notice The taste of different foods. To slow down and enjoy.
And also to get pleasure sexually. So many women fake orgasms and don’t ever feel satisfied with it to the point that they don’t even want to do anything sexually. A lot of this comes from not knowing ourselves and our bodies. She brings up being “clitorit” and learning about our vulva which is the proper term for the outer parts of the females genitals.
Did you know that the clitorus has 8,000 nerve endings?
Thats literally double the amount of what a penis has (it only has 4,000). So why are we constantly being told that women should not want to be pleasured?
She explains the importance of learning what you like and dislike. Because you are worthy and deserving of pleasure. And by knowing what you like, you can then feel confident sharing that with your partner.
Not only does she bring up the beauty of the feminine, but she also shares how we need to accept the dark parts of ourselves, she calls it “swamping”. To feel through our emotions when we are feeling down and own them so we can move past them.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I love how she is empowering women to learn to love themselves and to glorify our bodies. To give ourselves the self care and attention that we need.
The book is filled with different exercises that you can try to connect more to your “pussy”.
I could go on and share more, but I don’t want to ruin it for anyone that may way to read it. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is trying to connect more with their feminine and to realize how powerful we really are as women. I recommend keeping an open mind, as Mama Gena is fully herself and open. Some of the things that she says may be hard to process or may seem a little outlandish. But just take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t.
The whole point is to learn some new things, possibly a new perspective about yourself.
And if you are wanting to heal your feminine energy and all of this seems overwhelming, I would love to help support you on this journey.
