Bao Mai : the channel that links the Heart and the Uterus in Chinese medicine.
I came across this very valuable information extracted from the knowledge of Stephanie Nosco. Here is what I’d like to share with you:
“Bao Mai is the pathway through which emotional life, spirit, and blood from the heart communicate directly with the womb.”
“Each month, blood and Qi descend from the Heart to the Uterus through the Bao Mai. This nourishment prepares the womb for menstruation or conception, and helps keep cycles regular. This flow carries both physical blood and aspects of the Shen- The Heart’s consciousness.
The Bao Mai tethers our spirit to whatever we are creating, allowing Shen – our consciousness, presence and sense of meaning – to reach the womb so that what we form there, whether a child or a vision, is fully nourished, embodied, and aligned with who we truly are.
At menopause, the Bao Mai reverses direction. Instead of energy flowing down from Heart to Uterus, it moves upward from the Uterus back to the heart. The shift frees reproductive energy to nourish intuition, inner knowing, spiritual growth and a more heart centred way of living.”
