Ovarian Cyst
Within all of us, regardless of gender, are polarities of male and female energy.
Our bodies attempt to create some sort of harmony or balance between these dualities.
We need both energies of yin and yang in our lives. The yang provides the spark, the movement for us to move, act, create the life we want. The yin receives, reflects and supports the action.
So when I was contemplating this post I suddenly realised how the ovaries encompass an archetypal male energy within our female body. Their functions all require action.
The ovaries are particularly influenced when our feminine role or expression is disempowered, or dominated. There can be an ancestral link here, a mother or grandmother having a dominant partner or suffering abuse, or even an inability to fulfil their potential in the world because of their gender.
These oppressions and suppression’s are carried in the energy of the ovaries and situations in your current life can ‘remind’ your body of its lineage, manifesting in a physical condition.
If you have this condition consider ways in which your own potential/desires for action/creative expression has been held in, held back and why.
Quite often the traditions within families run so deep that women do not even consider stepping into another more independent potential for themselves, and the resentment is buried very deeply imbedded in the DNA.
Hence the cysts; cysts represent pockets of anger that the body is trying to contain. They are the dampening and holding of strong emotions. They are the body’s way of protecting yourself from the strength of the anger within, because of this it is often hard to even recognise your own anger, only as you start to open up to that possibility does the insight and healing begin.
Healing therefore comes from setting your own boundaries, reclaiming your own power and releasing ancestral anger. In order to release it you first need to recognise and acknowledge its existence. I recommend journalling as a starting point:
Write a list of all the things you feel resentful for, allow them to surface and place them on the page.
What are the voices of the feminine line that come to you as you write.
Write down big things and small with no judgement other than allowing release. 🌸
