THE POWER OF THE EGG & WOMEN

When I was studying sexual anthropology & then later naturopathy I learned of how much the process of conception is governed by the wisdom & direction of the female egg. This article shares a few aspects.

Human reproduction is commonly portrayed as a gigantic marathon swimming event in which the fastest, fittest sperm wins the race and prize of fertilising the egg. Yet another male dominated fantasy about the creation of life. The notion that human sperm once ejaculated, begin a frantic race to reach the egg has completely overshadowed the real story of reproduction.

A 2020 study revealed that in fact there is a communication system between the EGG and sperm. The egg has the ability to repel certain sperm with a molecular mechanism causing them to swim slower and also attract certain sperm by releasing a chemoattractant helping them move faster. Cervical mucus called L- Mucus helps filter out any low quality sperm, Bye Boy!

In the study Fitzpatrick is quoted "Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting sperm from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting sperm from a different male…. This shows that interactions between human eggs and sperm depend on the specific identity of the women and men involved."

Once SHE makes her choice and the sperm begins to penetrate the egg, the egg then releases a chemical response that causes all of the other sperm's heads to pop off. Yep, mass decapitation. ⠀

And to keep things in perspective, the male sperm is the smallest cell in the human body while the female egg is the largest.

We women are powerful goddesses and this culture we live in has systematically undermined that knowledge.

One of my key passions in clinical practice has become igniting women’s belief in their own power & their importance. In empowering them to understand that their needs & self care are vital too. That women & their gifts are so needed in our world under this capitalist & patriarchal structure. How loving & appreciating your body is a feminist act.

If you don’t feel this way start noticing the cultural messages inundating you constantly. Pay attention to how your negative self talk is often around a lack of self acceptance. Ask yourself why do you want to be a part of a culture that is teaching you that you are not good enough, beautiful enough, perfect enough?

When actually you are perfect right now, exactly as you are, for the life experience you have chosen to have at this time in this dimensional experience. See the gifts your body performs for you each day so that you get to be here at this pivotal time in history. Feel your heart & souls light that you bring to this world. See beyond the wet wear of the body. And if you are a woman take a moment to remember the power of your eggs as a macrocosm or reflection of all that you are.

I will soon be releasing a program that supports this growth in women. Check out my program here:
