Interview with Christiane Anna Rodriguez

Kimberly Snyder (00:01.878)
Welcome back loves for our Monday interview show. I am so excited for this amazing day. We are shooting here on video. If you want to start to tune on in on YouTube or as always, if you’re listening on Apple or Spotify, welcome back. We are here with Christiane Anna Rodriguez, who I’m so excited to speak to today around the womb healing, all things around our creative energy, our creative center. Christiane is the number one international bestselling author of Women with Healing Gifts, Breaking Barriers and Changing the World. She has an amazing background working with medicine and science. She’s a wisdom keeper of ancient teachings that weaves shamanic practices into womb wisdom. She’s been on TV. She’s worked with amazing, I mean, her bio goes on and on. We will link to it in the show notes, but she is a real, I love this term, wisdom keeper around this really sacred topic that we’re gonna be talking about today that I’ve been personally interested in for a very long time, specifically since becoming a mother, but also as a creative, as a writer, how we really start to engage with this part of us, this really deep, deep part of us that we can start to turn on. And lastly, I want to say that she also works with sacred sexuality and ritual ceremony. And her new signature program is called the sacred gateways of the new paradigm. So Christiane, thank you so much for being here with us today.

Christiane Rodriguez (01:38.51)
How exciting, feeling this joyfulness and grateful that we are here together connecting and being able to drop into something that’s so vital for us as women.

Kimberly Snyder (01:53.414)
for us as women. And also, I just want to start off by saying, Christiana, for those of us listening that maybe aren’t women necessarily, this creativity, we can also tune into regardless of gender. Is that right?

Christiane Rodriguez (02:07.278)
Absolutely, this is across the board for all humans. We’re going to be talking about our vital life force as spiritual beings having this human experience.

Kimberly Snyder (02:19.622)
Sometimes when we hear this word Christiana, womb, we think of specifically with childbirth, with pregnancies. But what I’d like to also get, and I wanna get into that as well, because we have lots of questions around holistic pregnancy. And as a mother myself, I love to talk about that. But also as humans, this Shvatisthana, this sacral chakra, this creative center. It can be used and directed this amazing energy within us far beyond children. Can you speak a little bit about just the essence of womb, creative power, creative energy?

The essence of the womb’s creative power and energy

Christiane Rodriguez (02:58.134)
I absolutely love that you are bringing this into this conversation. It is so vital for us to understand as humans that we have this energy source, this beautiful portal that sits two inches below the belly button. For, let’s say for men to drop into this conversation, it’s known as the hara.

Christiane Rodriguez (03:27.138)
they know it very well, that center. It is a place of empowerment. It’s a place of where they bring all of their energy of creative life force from that space to ground in, and then to bring that energy forth when we’re talking martial arts. For women, this is our creative force. This is where we, when we drop out of our head space and into the throat and the heart down into the solar plexus and into this beautiful cauldron, this medicine bowl. We can create not only life, which is miraculous, we can create projects, ideas, collaborations. So that creative force right there is an energy source that’s directly sourced from the universe. So we have a direct connection to great spirit, to source, to God’s self. That’s how vital this space is. It’s a portal. Isn’t it really exciting?

Kimberly Snyder (04:22.94)
Wow.

Kimberly Snyder (04:30.522)
I’m getting goosebumps just hearing you speak about this with such authority and such connection yourself, Christiane Anna. And I had also heard in some yogic teachings that this center is also specifically, they’re all connected, all the chakras, all the energies, but also specifically deeply connected to the throat chakra, to the vishuddha, to our expression in the world. Can you talk a little bit about this specific connection, comes out through the heart, but also speaking our truth, creating from this, the spoken word, and not just literally the word, but writing, and what we put out, how we act, how we flow through our lives.

Connection with the throat chakra and our expression

Christiane Rodriguez (05:12.846)
Absolutely. So right now in this moment, you and I, as we are speaking into this circle, the sacred space, we are utilizing our cervix and that is directly connected to the throat chakra. So we as women have known for decades that our throat chakra has been shut down. We’ve been shut down from let’s just say the waist down.

Kimberly Snyder (05:30.607)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (05:43.07)
And so this comes into play with how we as women have been told how to treat our bodies from the medical world, from religion, from many different arenas that have not empowered us, in fact have disempowered us. And so when we become disempowered from our womb space, and then also from our Yoni space, Yoni is Sanskrit for vulva. When we become disconnected from that sacred space, we lose our voices. And when we lose our voices, and we lose connection with our empowerment, which sits again, at that sacred portal of our womb slash horror. So it’s all connected, as you said, you know, when we do yoga, this is we have this whole central nervous system that runs up and down our spine to our brain that connects all things. Well, it goes deeper still into like, you could picture like an umbilical cord to the center of the universe, the galaxy. And so we are directly connected from that galactic center and that galactic center actually brings us deeper into our inner knowing as women specifically.

Kimberly Snyder (06:59.641)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (07:07.638)
to understand what it is to birth life into this world. Again, all humans can connect into this center. Anybody that does martial arts knows that they are asked to come from that d’yante, that hara, that grounding, and then move that energy out into the world.

Kimberly Snyder (07:30.098)
And before we talk for a moment, Christiana, about how we really deeply connect, which I’m so fascinated to hear your perspective around this, you mentioned disempowered, right? So where our voice gets shut down. And then the other side of disconnection, which we see a lot in culture is misusing this power which we sense is inside of us, right? Sometimes we can abuse ourselves sexually, give our power away, not really honor. And of course it’s individual to each person, what that looks like. But I think that there’s a lot of imbalance right now, because there’s this sacred portal. And then we aren’t taught how to honor it, how to work with it, how to harness it. And there’s a lot of issues in the world today around self-connection, self-love. And so that of course affects our sexuality and everything related to what you’re talking about. Can you speak a little bit to that? either way over, under, right? This sort of disconnection that’s happening on a cultural, like just, yeah, can you share your perspective around that? Sometimes we want to tune in, we want to be loved, right? A lot of it comes from wanting attention, wanting to be validated, the trauma playing out. And then we either shut down and then other parts of us take over. So we lose that.

Christiane Rodriguez (08:30.954)
Yes, let’s do it.

Kimberly Snyder (08:54.054)
power, that connection to our creativity or to our sexuality or otherwise it can go over. And then we kind of lead with that in ways that may be disingenuine or disempowering to ourselves, right? And especially in a visual world where we can now get money for doing that or more attention on social media, whatever it is.

Imbalance and how to remain in our center

Christiane Rodriguez (09:06.653)
still learning.

Christiane Rodriguez (09:14.75)
Yeah, so let’s talk about it. It’s so exciting because we are multi-dimensional beings. There’s so many aspects to us. And the same thing with the womb, which I was just going to say it’s a spiral, right? So it’s infinite. There’s many layers to what we’re speaking to. But to harness it in, for those that are listening and that are curious about what we are speaking about,

Kimberly Snyder (09:33.519)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (09:43.158)
Let’s create some clarity around it. We as humans can become very imbalanced in all of our ways. It’s not easy to remain in our center. So this is where we bring in modalities that work for each individual. Some turn towards yoga, some towards healthy eating, some turn towards I’m going to understand more about what it feels good to be in my body and exercise more, eat better, eat clean. And so there’s a great, there’s always this place within this balancing act that we have going on for us. What the womb will do for you is it’ll bring you right to your inner knowing and your inner wisdom. It will ask you to harness in all of that energy that seems to be outward and bring it back into our center.

Kimberly Snyder (10:32.658)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (10:42.046)
and listen to our own internal wisdom. However, there’s another piece to that. Oftentimes, as you’ve mentioned, we’re told who we are and there’s been trauma, we’ve experienced so many different dynamics in our sacred path, this journey called life, that we become convoluted with what’s my thinking, what’s my true thinking, what’s my inner wisdom.

Kimberly Snyder (10:45.308)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (11:10.562)
How can I not hear that? That’s why it’s really important for us to go into this space with somebody who is a wisdom keeper, who is a shamanic practitioner that can allow you to clear the energy within that space that’s possibly not yours, where you’ve been courted into other people’s ideas or thinking that has brought you into a place of imbalance. We want to come back into our center. And when we’re in our center we find our voice again. We find our truth. We’re able to deliver that out to the world. We’re here to deliver our gifts. Each of us here has a gift, unlike anybody else on this planet. And we wanna be able to tap into that source. Again, that source is directly connected to the universe. And when balanced, we can shine. There’s so many gifts that we wanna add to this world.

Kimberly Snyder (12:03.73)
I’m going to miss

Christiane Rodriguez (12:07.102)
So it is vital for us to be balanced within our own center and understand who we are in this human capacity and that all of us have this balance between the masculine and feminine. And we’re trying to figure that piece out. So that’s also what the womb will do. It’ll bring you into balance with our feminine aspects and our masculine, because all humans have that. We’re not we may be in a body that’s feminine, but we also have masculine aspects to ourselves. Right? So that’s a whole nother topic.

Kimberly Snyder (12:37.994)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (12:42.05)
So, Christiana, sometimes this word balance can be a little bit nebulous for people, right? So can you explain when we, how do, what are certain signs when we know that we’re balanced when we’re connected to our room, whether that feeling inspired creatively or feeling, you know, sexual or could you just give us some more specific ways for our listeners to say, yeah, that resonates or there I can feel that there’s a little bit of a gap, you know, wherever.

How to know when we’re unbalanced and when we’re connected to our womb

Christiane Rodriguez (13:11.964)
Great questions.

Kimberly Snyder (13:12.231)
areas physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, all our cornerstones across.

Christiane Rodriguez (13:17.422)
Absolutely, that across the board we need that and Deep apology for any crossover. It’s just a little bit of lag Okay How do we know that we are unbalanced life becomes chaotic?

Kimberly Snyder (13:21.228)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (13:33.006)
Yes. Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (13:36.318)
Yeah, we become disoriented, which then what happens is there’s this unfolding. It may start off subtly. So Worm is very subtle. She will give us instructions, oftentimes we don’t listen to. It’s really what we also know as our intuition. So once we stop listening to our

Christiane Rodriguez (14:06.274)
subtle changes start to happen. It’s like a boat in a harbor. It just doesn’t go out to sea. It just slowly leaves the harbor and all of a sudden you’re floating out there and your eating has shifted. Maybe you’re not eating as well as you were. Maybe you’re not making it love as much as you’d like to. Really things become out of sorts and the word is chaotic. Things are not in order.

Kimberly Snyder (14:32.226)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (14:35.39)
and organized as maybe they once were. That’s really when you know you’ve become out of balance with self and you stop listening to your inner voice. So the womb will tug on you. She will let you know, it’s not an intuition that comes from the mind, it comes directly from that portal, that two inches below that belly button. When you know that gut feeling, hmm. Something’s not right here. Things aren’t feeling good. Things are not clear. You’ve lost your crystal clear clarity with your communication. There’s a consciousness to the womb, a consciousness that brings you in total alignment with what’s true to you, not the outside noises. You wanna turn the outside noises off and listen to what your wisdom is telling you.

Kimberly Snyder (15:30.778)
So that the womb, the gut feeling deep inside will also give you cues and clues when your action steps. Like you said, that chaos is manifesting and things that you’re doing, it’s playing out in the world and it’s sort of trying to bring you back in. And if I’m understanding correctly, Christiana, and then how would we distinguish, let’s say there’s this voice and we, you know, it’s kind of calling us back, it’s showing us we’re out of alignment. How do we distinguish that intuition versus going into shame, right? Going into saying, oh man, I’m so bad, or I shouldn’t have done that, or I’m selling myself short, or I’m really embarrassed by these actions I’ve taken. How do we work with that energy of alignment, shame?

Distinguishing intuition versus going into shame

Christiane Rodriguez (16:20.935)
Yeah, what a fine line that can be when we have not taken the time to connect with that center or have not gone to perhaps a practitioner that allows us to understand deeper what those messages are. Or if you have not picked up a book to understand what we are speaking about, like womb wisdom, what is this or listen to a podcast like this right here, right now, what we can do in this moment is simply remembering our breath. Where is our breath? Is our breath up here? Can we bring our breath down into our center? Listening to our breath and pausing, you’ll know when it’s your voice that got knowing. It’s similar to a mother who knows the baby’s cry Does a baby’s diaper need to be changed? Or does a baby need to be breastfed right now? Or did the baby fall? You can tell the difference between those cries. You can tell the difference too, when this is your own inner voice or somebody else’s voice you’re listening to, that’s been based on perhaps shame, guilt, trauma from some kind of trauma bonding from our childhood years or for something that’s happened to you in life. You know the difference, it’s acting on it. Oftentimes we’ll hear, but we don’t listen. So the first step is really to honor your breath and to stop and pause and say, whose voice is this? Is this truly my truth or somebody else’s voice speaking?

Kimberly Snyder (18:07.275)
Mmm.

Kimberly Snyder (18:12.882)
I love that because it’s really accessible, right? It’s this tuning in, which we do accessible, but not necessarily easy, simple, right? The breath is right here, but it’s this retraining, as you know, Christiane Anna, in the work and what I see with clients as well, where we’re so used to flowing out. Where’s the information, the phones, the social media, what people are saying? And so cultivating this hear breath about, you know, calming down, but also breath to connect with the womb wisdom. Can you give us any, some more accessible ways we can start to breathe more life into this connection with our womb center? That’s pausing the breathing.

Accessible ways we can start to breathe more life and connect with your womb center

Christiane Rodriguez (18:54.826)
Definitely. So I find that many of my clients intuitively know when they go to sleep that they’re placing their hands over their womb. It’s just a natural feeling.

Kimberly Snyder (19:06.926)
Mm. Yes. I was doing it right now! Hahaha!

Christiane Rodriguez (19:12.766)
Yes, we just, we start feeling our womb. We’re just, we may not know that, but now after a conversation like this that we’re listening in on, wow, okay. I noticed that I’m placing my hand on my womb and then perhaps another over your heart. So that creates this deep connection to the universe, this deep listening. But then outside of that. We have to remember that we are cyclical beings. We do not live in a linear universe. So by listening to our own rhythms and cycles that go in conjunction with the moon and the sun, we start listening to ancient teachings. We’re not in a Gregorian calendar. We’re on a rhythm and cycle with the universe that asks us to watch what the moon is doing and when we watch the moon, especially so as women, we know that we have a cycle where we bleed. And when we listen to that, that 28 days, like the ancients would say 1328, which represents the turtle shell, which also represents the calendar. There’s 13 months really, and 28 days. So when we listen to that, our own natural rhythm and cycle as women will connect to, oh, okay.

Kimberly Snyder (20:11.615)
Mm-hmm.

Kimberly Snyder (20:26.613)
You

Christiane Rodriguez (20:33.962)
I’m going to bleed. This is what’s happening. This is when my energy is high. This is when my energy is low. So this is a really beautiful way specifically for women to understand how to connect with their moon blood, their periods or menstruation. That is a great way for us to start understanding to bring deep sacredness and honor to that portal. As men, they can do the same. They also have a rhythm and cycle. They also do. You’ll see it. Yeah.

Kimberly Snyder (21:06.066)
In this rhythm cycle, as you’re mentioning, Christiana, we can start to intuit where we may be more creative and where we need to rest more, right? There’s times where we can foster a really great movement in our projects. If we were really wanting to work with our deep creative power, bring things into the world, part of that is working with that rhythm, I imagine.

Intuition and your creativity and working with that rhythm

Christiane Rodriguez (21:29.774)
Absolutely. So some of the women that come forward are really in that space where they are disconnected from their womb and their moon cycle, their blood, perhaps even menopause. There’s this negativity and noise and chaos on the outside. They’re wanting to burr the project. Let’s say they’re wanting to write a book. They’re wanting to put out a program, something like this.

Kimberly Snyder (21:52.118)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (21:54.818)
When we listen to our own internal wisdom and our rhythm and cycle with the moon and the sun, what happens is that we do understand, Kimberly, that there is a time when in that one month, 28 day cycle, our energy is high for creativity. And then there’s a time when it’s low, when ovulating, because we’re getting ready to actually release, or we can…

Kimberly Snyder (22:14.731)
Mm-hmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (22:23.03)
birth, the same thing with birthing. We usually birth on a full moon. We get pregnant on a new moon. It’s just a rhythm and cycle. So we know when we have high energy for creative projects or we can work outside, we can work on our farm, we can work on our land. And when there’s times when we as women need to honor to stop and to slow down, which isn’t always easy based on the old construct of the patriarchal paradigm.

Kimberly Snyder (22:38.479)
Hmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (22:51.99)
which has us going, and we don’t listen to our inner voice and we don’t stop and we don’t rest, that doesn’t work well with the womb. She will say, if you listen, listen to your own inner wisdom, you can get so much beauty done and creative projects done when you’re in that space, when you’re in right with the universe instead of going against the grain, go with the flow, feel good.

Kimberly Snyder (23:12.095)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (23:20.822)
Be in your body, listen deeply to your inner wisdom, and bring that out to the world in a timely manner that works for you because it’s honoring yourself. You honor yourself in this way. You’re a sacred temple.

Kimberly Snyder (23:35.495)
Yeah.

Kimberly Snyder (23:39.406)
You know, and practically speaking, Christiane Anna, I’ve experienced, you know, what you’re talking about when I really release myself from working in a linear way instead of here’s the list versus, you know, and again, I’m very blessed. I have more freedom in my day and my timing, but there are times in my cycle and also times in the day where I feel those bursts and I go with that and there’s less, you know, oh, I have to do this instead, you know, it’s just a different way of seeing things. when we go with that flow, because there’s these almost these burst periods where I’ll write so much of a book and then there’s times where I don’t feel called. And if I go in, I force myself to write, for example, I always have to rewrite. It’s an inefficient way of doing things when it has to be so linear.

Christiane Rodriguez (24:09.258)
Yeah.

Christiane Rodriguez (24:29.102)
I love that you brought the burst out. That’s so fantastic because the rhythms and cycle aren’t just over a 28 day, you know, or a monthly cycle. It’s also in our day. We know, yeah, in our ancient teachings, we know there was once this saying, you know, sit under a tree for 24 hours with the universe and you’ll know when the height of your…

Kimberly Snyder (24:41.399)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (24:55.982)
creativity and your energy is and when your low points are. Because there’s this place of silence. You’re rooting in and perhaps it’s at the morning call. For me, with Kundalini Yoga, it’s at the 430, it’s the shaman hour. It’s when the birds, yeah, right? It’s when the crickets stop and the birds start singing. That midway point is just, it’s beautiful. It’s a stillness. So for me, that’s a heightened place.

Kimberly Snyder (25:10.158)
Yes, it’s very early.

Christiane Rodriguez (25:25.246)
for others that may not be. Maybe it’s in the evening and your life will consistently change. It’s constantly changing so listening is so key to the breath. If you’re out of breath, maybe it’s time to stop and sit down and rest. If you have a lot of energy, then utilize that energy. It’s really such a powerful way to live one with the earth, one with the mother, one with the sacred, you know, feminine of the son and one with a planetary shift. Why are we going against the grain with being universal humans here on this planet when everything else has an order? Don’t follow that rhythm and order. I mean, we don’t. We just become out of balance and out of sorts.

Kimberly Snyder (26:18.79)
And I think prioritizing that and giving ourselves freedom to explore that order. And I can’t help but think when you’re speaking, Christiana, about my first book, which was published in 2011. I was living in New York City. It was a different time. I was hustling. I was just running around the city, kind of entangled with the energy of the city. And a lot of that book was written in the evenings. And it was for different reasons. I’m just a lot more clear in my voice now. But it was a lot of energy expenditure to write that book and a lot of passion kind of pushed it through. But this last book, which I’ve just, now I’m in the editing process, it was actually written mostly at 3.30 in the morning. I would get up at 3.30 and right before my kids get up. And as you mentioned, it was this freedom. And of course, there’s periods in our life where maybe we don’t have that freedom if we have a certain kind of job, but we can explore it if we go away or carve out times on the weekends or whatever it is. Right? has their own schedules. But for me, I started to feel that the morning time was that creative burst time. And so I really shifted my whole life. I go to bed early. I don’t live in the big city anymore. I’m not, I’m just in a different rhythm. So I just point that out to say it’s interesting as we progress, how we can start to be more confident to feel that and to really get behind supporting our lifestyle for those creative bursts.

Christiane Rodriguez (27:25.371)
Mm.

Kimberly Snyder (27:46.01)
prioritizing it.

Christiane Rodriguez (27:46.29)
Yeah, I love it. That’s confirm. Thank you for the confirmation of the womb wisdom and what she holds. I love that you’re sharing more of your own story and how things shifted for you. Right.

Kimberly Snyder (28:00.91)
And I didn’t even call that moon wisdom, but yes, now that you’re speaking about it, it’s perfectly aligned to this deep creative center teaching me this is when your best stuff’s going to come and you can’t force it other times. The moon wisdom can’t be forced.

Christiane Rodriguez (28:16.49)
No, it cannot. And so here’s what we can really need to do in order to bring more of this energy as a whole to this planetary universe that we are on right now, right? That we’re living as humans on this planet. The more we listen to this center, this portal, this sacred temple that we have been given.

Kimberly Snyder (28:44.398)
Hmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (28:46.786)
And as you say, the four corners, that brings our structure and our system together, right, as humans. The more we are able to do that for ourselves, we can allow others to do the same and unplug from this old construct that is at its last death rattle. We’re coming into a new age. We know this is known as the age of Aquarius. The womb is in direct alignment with the universe, the cosmos. So when we ourselves live with this freedom of being able to unplug from the old constructs and listen to ourselves, we give freedom to the next person to do the same. And that allows us to come into this place of organic unfolding of who we really are as humans not who somebody told us we are or what schooling or anything else told us we are. We’re really, I know we’re right. We’re unplugging from that and becoming one with, uh, well here I am in Hawaii. What we call the Inuk becoming one with the land, listening to our ancestors. We are the bones of our ancestors.

Kimberly Snyder (29:45.531)
Mmm.

Kimberly Snyder (30:05.147)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (30:13.714)
So we collect those bones and we flush that out and we become these beautiful stories that are our own truth, not what somebody else told us about or from trauma based. And we’re able to live in that structure that’s in unison with the cosmos. And yeah, we can bring that into our bodies and live that truth. It’s pretty phenomenal. It really, really is.

Kimberly Snyder (30:40.43)
It’s phenomenal and it’s vast and it’s powerful. And I love that you talked about structure, Christiane Anna, because practically speaking, what we offer here in the community as well are these lifestyle habits, like we said in the four cornerstones, because I think about myself a decade ago or more, if I’m really bloated, for instance, if I’m eating the wrong foods, if I’m not exercising and I feel achy in my body it’s harder to listen to that womb wisdom, right? I need to be in my vitality. I need to have Dinacharya, you know, Aryavidic Sanskrit word for daily rhythm and routine. I’m nourishing myself. And then I’m in a stronger position to put us, you know, real stillness comes forward. I don’t, not listening to, you know, all these, it just really brings me more present, like you said, because there’s a subtlety to this womb wisdom.

Christiane Rodriguez (31:16.794)
All right.

Kimberly Snyder (31:31.81)
And so that’s one of the practical ways, I think the breathing, like you said, touching the womb, creating that space, the listening, but it all works together to make us more tuned to the listening.

Christiane Rodriguez (31:42.294)
Mm hmm. Yeah, we don’t want to have this static station. We want to be tuned in. Right? Tune in, baby. Like, let the noise go. Like, it’s enough of the noise out there. We have fought so hard to get to this place in time now where we are. And it’s really to empower and then embody, embody these teachings and walk our talk.

Kimberly Snyder (31:48.916)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (31:53.139)
I’m sorry.

Kimberly Snyder (32:09.561)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (32:10.91)
walk our talk, right? Right? We know, like you said, when we’re out of alignment, we know it like, I don’t feel really great right now. I better eat some, you know, mung beans and my Ayurvedic and cool my fire down. I know that’s what I have to do. It’s like, okay, my fire needs to be cooled, even though I live next to a volcano. You know, it’s like really

Kimberly Snyder (32:30.394)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (32:34.126)
You know, Christiana, with, and I want to jump into, and our time is so precious. There’s so many things I can ask you, but the mystical, the shamanic part of your work, which I’m fascinated by and also in the world we’re seeing, you know, there’s, there’s levels of disconnection, I think, when it comes to fertility and pregnancy and birthing, right? And it becomes, you know, sometimes there’s medical support that’s very much needed. And we’re so grateful to have that in the world, but in the ancestral times, there was also, I believe, I’ve heard about this, calling the child in or speaking to the soul when we’re wanting to bring in a child, right? That can be used in conjunction with the medical treatments and everything that we’re doing. However, our personal path is, there’s so many wonderful paths. And of course, it’s all in there, right? We have this amazing fertility course coming out as well, Christiana, that has natural, it has the dietary part, it has the IVF part. So it’s whatever the path is, but I believe this other part, this mystical part can be added on to any of our paths. Can you share a little bit about calling in the child or connecting with the womb wisdom when we’re wanting to get pregnant?

Connecting with the womb wisdom and pregnancy

Kimberly Snyder (33:51.17)
And that’s a big job.

Christiane Rodriguez (33:51.338)
Oh, I’m getting the goose bumps. I’m loving this topic. Oh, yes. I, yes. So, congratulations. That is such a beautiful place to enter into this conversation and to do what I’m understanding is you’re going to be doing more of this work in your own business around fertility awareness, which is also too with our, so not to go off topic, I do

Kimberly Snyder (34:09.967)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (34:18.526)
do believe that how we treat our sacred temples to prep ourselves for calling the child in is vital. So let me harness it in. I’ve had many testimonies with partners that are coming forward, husband and wives that are coming forward and saying that they’ve been told by the medical field that they can’t get pregnant.

Kimberly Snyder (34:23.673)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (34:45.046)
Well, we’re on baby number, I think 11 or 12 now over the years of people who women who have had like maybe one ovary and told they could never get pregnant or, you know, saying that the man’s sperm counts down. There’s a lot of different scenarios that come forward when yes, so for women, when we go into this, again, I’m going to continue to call it a sacred portal of the womb.

Kimberly Snyder (35:01.402)
Bye.

Christiane Rodriguez (35:15.158)
do what’s called a reading when I check to see what’s in the womb space energetically as a wisdom keeper. What I’m doing is I’m reading back to that woman exactly what’s happening within her center that perhaps is not allowing a child that’s wanting to come through her to be able to seed itself, to birth itself into this world.

Kimberly Snyder (35:41.461)
Mmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (35:41.574)
So it sounds a little bit like woo woo, it’s not, it’s an energy center. So if your energy, say your engine in your car isn’t running, right, you’re going to check the oil, right? Same thing with your portal of the womb. What’s there blocking that energy from flowing? What’s blocking the energy from flowing where your moon cycle is regular? What’s happening with your?

Kimberly Snyder (36:05.487)
Mm.

Christiane Rodriguez (36:07.274)
your health of your diet, what about your mental and emotional state. So the womb will read itself back to you and let you know, like, okay, you are not in your center, you’re not in your power, you are allowing other influences into your energy field that are locking the energy of new life, new project, new anything to come through.

Kimberly Snyder (36:35.967)
Yes. And we say calling in the child, calling in the project or whatever. We can expand that.

Christiane Rodriguez (36:39.974)
Yeah, yes. So when you’re in rhythm and cycle and you’re listening to perhaps the moon, right, so the new moon is here, something new, we’re seeding something new into our body, a new project, a new idea, perhaps a child, you’re going to want to let go of things that are not serving your highest good. So when you let go of that, those courtings are things that are not serving you, the new to come in to be birthed. That’s again the power of the womb. So when you clear that field, that spiral, you’re allowing space for what it is that you’re wanting to bring forth that’s wanting to be birthed through you. You have as a human, you have gifts that want to be birthed through you, but specifically a child that’s wanting to come through need to create space for that.

Kimberly Snyder (37:12.473)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (37:27.366)
Mmmm

Christiane Rodriguez (37:40.086)
By going into ceremony and listening deeply, a shamanic practitioner, a wisdom keeper will be able to read back to you what’s possibly blocking your energy fields and where you can move that energy in order to bring forth what it is that you want to create. Because you are a creator. You are a creatress. Yes, we’re creating a new earth.

Kimberly Snyder (38:04.378)
Mm-hmm. We’re all creators. Yes, and I you have these wonderful books and programs which we’ll link to in the show notes as well, Christiane Anna. In a broader sense, let’s say someone doesn’t have the opportunity to work with someone individually, can we say in a broader spectrum, someone can start to talk to the child or do you think that’s whispered to this child?

Christiane Rodriguez (38:32.566)
Absolutely.

Kimberly Snyder (38:34.222)
I remember before my kids were born and I’m very grateful they just kind of flowed in. I could feel something, like I could always feel like they were there and it was just saying, I don’t know, it’s hard to put into words, right? Just call it.

Christiane Rodriguez (38:50.19)
Yes, because it feels like it’s out here and it’s really not it’s speaking to you from within and so yet you did have a direct connection to the cosmos. Because we come from, yeah we come we are souls so we’re wanting we’re saying that child’s choosing you as the mother. That child decides you know hey you’re going to be my mom I’m going to I want to start connecting with you. So you want your space.

Kimberly Snyder (38:54.552)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (39:01.53)
Yes. He stalls.

Kimberly Snyder (39:11.087)
Yeah.

Christiane Rodriguez (39:18.678)
your sacred space to be like an altar, an altar of bringing in new life. Again, bringing in life of anything, whether you’re creating a project, building a home, creating new life, you want to create this place that your body is an altar for connection to what it is that you need to be hearing. So yes, you can hear the voice of the child that’s wanting to be

Kimberly Snyder (39:22.383)
Mm-hmm.

Christiane Rodriguez (39:48.462)
come through your portal. That soul is wanting to come through your sacred portal and you’re making room for that. And however, how you eat, again, the four cornerstones as you used to speak about, similar, you know, the spiritual, the mental, the emotional, the physical, you wanna ready yourself. Most of us do not ready ourselves for bringing child forth.

Kimberly Snyder (39:50.895)
Yes.

Kimberly Snyder (40:14.947)
Yes.

Christiane Rodriguez (40:15.11)
There’s still always there’s still always time there’s always time to be able to do that child will teach you how to mother Mother him her you know will definitely teach you

Kimberly Snyder (40:28.698)
And I like how you talked about blocking, unblocking. I mean, it goes on so many levels, right? There’s unblocking your GI tract. There’s unblocking limited beliefs. There’s just energy that can get sort of stagnant in there. And that’s part of your work, as you mentioned, is just clearing introspectively. Sometimes it’s hard to see our own blocks, right? And when we’re so close to it. So you said breathing, working with a practitioner or shamanic healer like yourself, or just really.

Christiane Rodriguez (40:50.112)
Yeah.

Kimberly Snyder (40:57.338)
trying to hear, asking the questions and hearing yourself, what is the gap here? What’s standing between me and this child or me and launching this business idea or whatever it is.

Unblocking limited beliefs

Christiane Rodriguez (41:09.666)
Absolutely. So again, being plugged in, you know, you want to be plugged into your inner knowing and seated at your throne, want to be embodied so you know what’s next and you do not question yourself. When you hear it, when you hear that intuition and then act on it, you’re part of the co-creation of the universe. And that’s what we are doing here as humans.

for co-creating new life in all its forms. And we’re birthing ourselves. So really when it comes down to it, the womb’s wisdom will allow you to rebirth yourself.

Kimberly Snyder (41:38.182)
Mmm.

Kimberly Snyder (41:51.706)
Mm. It’s so amazing. This sacredness, this portal, the energy around it. It’s so beautiful. And it’s right there. Like you said, it’s not out here. It’s inside of us. Instead of this more external going out of ourselves, it’s really this energy. It’s calling it in, isn’t it? It’s calling in this connection going deep, deep down into ourselves.

Christiane Rodriguez (42:16.142)
Absolutely, calling in the child, calling in the project, whatever, it’s calling it in. Call it in. You are one with it. It knows you. So yeah, it’s very, very powerful and potent, potent work and a spiral. So it goes into many dimensions and the work is done, can be done remotely. As you said, it’s energy. So some people see me one-on-one in person, others remotely its energy. It can be, it can be worked with. It’s such a beautiful thing. So become the midwife to the, to the client, the midwife to the client, like, okay, let’s do this. You have this, this energy within. Allow me to be an honor to the sacredness of witnessing you, rebirthing yourself into this world.

Kimberly Snyder (43:11.27)
Wow. Amazing. I’m getting goosebumps all the way. Christiana, I could speak to you forever. This has been amazing. Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your vast wisdom with us today. And I just, you know, I love this whole topic. And I love that you’ve created these programs and your books, which we will link to directly in our show notes at mysolluna.com.
