The origin of the Male Female Balancing Mudras

Andrew:

Someone recently asked me how the Male and Female Mudras first started out. How was it conceived and what was its objective?

I think that we have always been aware of the male and female issues in the planet, Just that most of us take it for granted. And the idea of inequality between the sexes was something that we just grew up with.  

On the one hand, we were told that mothers were very important and on the other, females were less worthy than men.  Hmmm go figure that one out. That's when I stumbled upon the word  "misogny" and that opened my eyes to the historical context of how women have been treated on this planet for thousands of years.

It eventually dawned on me that for years I had been learning techniques in different modalities that could redress that internal energy inbalance.  And so together with my collaborators, Elizabeth Huxtable and Mohana Sunthari, we put together a programme and tried it out on some friends in Ipoh.

 Male Female Balancing and Womb Blessing Presentation by Andrew Khaw

The workshop started at 10am and Andrew presented the slides for the Male Female Balancing and Womb Blessing.

To summarise misogyny in our religions and philosophy over the past two thousand years have subjugated women and caused untold harm and misery.  

The United Nations has started a worldwide program to eradicate gender inequality and declared that the entire planet cannot move forward when half its population is held back.

At an individual level, misogyny has caused a severe imbalance in our metaphysical body – our male and female inner channels are so out of alignment that they are not balanced and cannot access the middle wisdom channel that connects us to cosmic wisdom. 

Or to put it in a simpler context – there is no YIN YANG balance to take us to universal oneness

What is worse – due to abuse and subjugation of the female, the womb of the female experiences physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dysfunction with severe diseases afflicting the female.

This abuse and degradation of her menstruation and menstrual blood stops the free flow of creativity in the womb and prevents the female from creating with joy and purpose using her sexual primordial energy

So even if YIN YANG balancing is attempted through any physical modality like Yoga, Martial arts and other recreational exercises to reconnect to the spiritual wisdom middle channel– without the purification and blessing of the womb – the female is cut off from her source of creativity. 

Her spiritual life force that is in the middle channel cannot rise and connect to cosmic wisdom

Our entire society has to shift from abuse and degradation TO respect and honouring the feminine womb so that the woman can reconnect to her creative sexuality, be proud of the power of her menstruation and menstrual blood and reclaim the blessings and abundance of the divine feminine in balance with the divine masculine.

Even now the female menstrual blood is seen to be unclean and a menstruating lady cannot enter a temple.

The participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire that would identify their male or female bias.

After the slide presentation, the participants were taught a series of mudras:

The Yoni mudra - to clear the womb

Balance the left female side 

Balance the right male side

And then perform the final Unity Mudra that represents wholeness and completion to enable the participant to connect to the higher self.

Mohana Sunthari facilitated the balancing of male and female energies.  She scanned the energies in each individual during the male and female balancing exercise and told each participant the status of their yin yang energy.

One participant – CS - after doing the right male balancing exercise felt a lot of heat leaving the right side of her body.  She had been experiencing heaviness and heatiness for a few months on the right side of her body from top to toe.  

Another participant –KY – experienced the bliss of oneness as she completed the final mudra.

Singing Bowl, Feelings Kit and Vocal Sound Healing by Elizabeth Huxtable

Elizabeth then took all the participants through a sound bath with her amazing singing crystal bowls and channelled vocals. This was supplemented with a feelings kit consisting of essential oils that helped to liberate and cleanse the energy body of many deep layers of old emotional wounds.

At the end of her session, Elizabeth had a vision of the divine feminine aspect in the form of the Magdalene going to every woman and blessing her womb. Andrew explained that the Magdalene represented the feminine principle as did Mother Tara, Kuan Yin and the Shakti.

Womb Blessing by Mohana Sunthari

The idea was that the mudras in the first session and the sound bath and feelings kit in the second session would balance and cleanse old wounds in the energy body in particular the womb so that by the time we arrived at the third session -  the energy body and womb would be receptive to the womb blessings channelled by Mogana. 

To use an analogy – you can’t pour clean water in a glass that is full. So the old dirty water had to be poured out first.

Mohana started by explaining that a lot of negative emotional wounds had been released in the sound session and the mudras had started to balance the left and right channels.

This would facilitate the womb blessing, the middle channel to the cosmos would open and the spiritual life-force at the base of the tailbone would rise and connect the participant to the cosmos – transforming the individual to universal consciousness.

She relaxed everyone with a Reiki symbol Sei hei ki multiplied many times and she then raised the spiritual life-force with Kundalini Reiki from Levels One to Three. 

Going into silent meditation, she then gracefully channelled the primordial feminine energy with her hands gracefully guiding the energy into every participant.

As the session took place, JK started to spontaneously raise her kundalini life-force in a classic text book technique that Andrew learned many years ago.  

BK experienced a cool minty feeling in her womb. And almost everyone experienced some form of heat or coolness around their bodies.

TY who seldom feels anything thought she imagined some warmth in her womb.  And YD started feeling sensations that indicated her womb energy had returned even though she had an operation to remove her womb years ago.

All the feedback was positive and indicated that more or less, every participant had an experience of feeling something in their womb or were more relaxed. Some felt the energies around different parts of their body. 

And for YY the womb energy was there waiting to enter once there was more peace and balance. C saw the image of the Sri Yantra – it is an Indian symbol for complete balance of male and female with all the blessings of such a balance. Knh had visions during all the sessions

Belly Dance by Elizabeth Huxtable

Elizabeth brought some belly dancing outfits and shared with the participants.  She explained that belly dancing was a wonderful and fun technique to loosen the energy in the womb and allow it to flow and the pelvic muscles would be strengthened as well – healing a lot of women’s health issues. 

She took all the participants through the major techniques and everyone had fun.  We ended in a joyful and playful mood at 5.30pm.
