The Throat-Pelvis Connection: Reclaiming Your Voice and Your Sexuality
Ilona Bezema on the connection between your voice and your sexuality - how the throat and the pelvis mirror each other, and how de-armouring reconnects you with aliveness.
Let’s talk about what usually stays behind closed doors: the connection between your voice and your sexuality. Your manifestation.
I have been working with women (and men) for about ten years and I see the same pattern: strong, successful, beautiful women who feel disconnected from their deepest nature.
I have been there myself. When I started to receive de-armouring sessions I felt disconnected from my pelvis, my womb, my genitals. My sexuality was not flowing. My body was tense, my pelvis numb, and I had lower back pain since I was 18. My voice was high, my breathing constricted, my nervous system active. In the last ten years a lot has changed - and still is ;)…
Nowadays I feel vibrant, juicy and alive. I am 48 - through my menopause - and I feel more alive and energised than ever before. It is one of the reasons I am devoted to working with the wisdom of the body through de-armouring and holistic bodywork.
What does your voice have to do with your sexuality?
By bringing awareness into your body, you will experience that your throat and your yoni (womb and vaginal canal) are mirrors. Anatomically they are remarkably similar. The larynx and the cervix are two sacred portals, connected by an energy channel.
What happens when we suppress our voice?
You probably remember moments where you wanted to speak up, but held back. Constricted your throat, which prevented you from relaxing and breathing. Or you know this lump or tightness in your throat. Our body cannot lie. If the throat is constricted, our pelvis is also constricted. If we cannot sound, we lose connection and sensitivity below. We become dry - not only physically, but also energetically.
The good news: when we relax the throat, the pelvis relaxes as well. And vice versa. For me this is magic!
How de-armouring opens the body
Through holistic bodywork and de-armouring your body is invited to open up, to show you where you built up tension or stagnation. Armour. This can be physical or emotional. I invite you to feel it, to meet it with compassion and to give it space. And I invite your breath and your voice. You can reclaim your voice as a right to speak, to sound, to be heard.
When you voice, you connect to your womb wisdom. When the muscles in your throat relax, your pelvic floor softens too. You become more alive, so that when you speak, your whole body vibrates. Let’s create this space together for purification and liberation.
Love, Ilona
