As an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, I began my practice in 2021. I was helping women find balance, calm, and vitality. But something unexpected happened: I found myself listening to their stories, sometimes for hours, before offering any Ayurvedic diagnosis.
A pattern began to reveal itself.
Many of my clients were quietly angry with men. Beneath their calm exteriors, I could sense a deep, simmering rage. Sometimes, even a desire for revenge. This unspoken anger had strained their relationships with the men in their lives.
What surprised me was how many of them had been drawn to my work because I was unknowingly carrying the same anger. But I had no obvious reason for it. My father has always loved me deeply. So, where was this anger coming from?
When we ask sincere questions, the universe responds.
I was guided to the teachings of Mother Maya (former Vedic Monk) and her disciple Eden Flynn, whose work centers on womb healing and ancestral trauma. It opened a new portal of understanding for me.
The Womb Remembers
Thousands of years ago, as patriarchy took hold, women across cultures experienced waves of subjugation, violence, and silencing. These traumas were not only endured, but they were stored in the womb. This energetic imprint, I learned, can be passed down through generations.
So what happens when a child is born from a womb carrying unresolved trauma?
- The mother may feel emotionally disconnected from her child.
- There may be a lack of nurturing or maternal instinct.
- Women may feel isolated, competitive, or distrustful toward other women.
- Their anger may be disproportionate because it is not only theirs. It is the grief, rage, and pain of countless women before them.
- Illness often follows, rooted in generations of resentment, regret, rejection, and revenge.
- Many women inherit a belief: I am a victim of men.
- This belief manifests in real-life patterns, such as being mistreated, staying in toxic relationships, and attracting disempowering dynamics.
In my own clients, I noticed that women from regions with violent histories often had been impacted more. Even within India, women from the North, where most invasions occurred, seemed more likely to carry ancestral pain than those from the South.
How Do We Break the Cycle?
By now you might be wondering:
Anu, this feels heavy. What can I do? How do I stop this pattern with myself so it doesn’t pass on to my children?
Here’s what I’ve learned:
"When women heal, they heal their families, their communities, and the Earth. Gone are the days of waiting to be saved. Women already have the power to heal themselves. She is Shakthi. . She is the healer, the transformer, the one who holds the world in her womb."
—Loosely adapted from the teachings of Mother Maya
How to Begin Healing Your Womb
- Listen to your heart. Every moment, choose what makes you happy. This will bring you out of the victim mode and not perpetuate the belief of being a victim.
- Celebrate Women. Start with small acts, compliment the women around you. Admire the feminine in all species.
- Gather in Sisterhood. Join circles of women where you feel safe to be vulnerable. Sit together during full or new moon time as we are connected with the lunar energy
- Moon Rituals. On a full moon night, meditate and invite the moonlight to cleanse your womb of trauma. Let her silvery calm bless your center.
- ThetaHealing. Work with a certified ThetaHealer to clear ancestral beliefs of victimhood and send healing energy to your womb and to your mother’s womb.
- Uttara Vasti. Learn this sacred Ayurvedic practice through Wise Earth Ayurveda and begin a personal cleansing ritual.
- Join My Retreat. At my Bad Girls retreat, I guide women through a powerful group womb healing meditation. Together, we connect with our wombs and the wombs of the women who came before us, offering blessings and peace.

My Own Healing
As I began healing my womb through the teachings of Mother Maya and through ThetaHealing, my relationships with men transformed.
- My father and I became even closer.
- I recognized patterns of revenge I was unconsciously acting out with my husband, and the deeper truth that we had not married from love. We are divorced now.
- I completely rewove my bond with my son. The friction dissolved, and we now meet in a space of mutual respect and maturity.
Today, I feel a joy in being around men. I experience them as kind, protective, steady, and emotionally simple. When I become too stirred up, they remain grounded. They truly embody the Shiva energy, that sacred stillness which complements the unpredictable current of Shakthi.
This Is My Desire for All Women:
To experience the presence of Shiva without the shadows of the past.
May you reclaim your womb. May you rise in your power. May you enjoy the beauty of loving relationships.
