Womb Healing: Ancestral Trauma & Chakra Clearing Demonstration
Womb Healing: Ancestral Trauma & Chakra Clearing Demonstration
In This Episode
Courtney Pearl walks through a complete healing session on this episode, blending Reiki energy work, emotional processing, and somatic techniques in real time. This is not theory, it's a live demonstration of how practical magic shows up in the healing room.
The session begins with chakra assessment using a pendulum, revealing where energy is blocked and flowing. The client's root and sacral chakras show restriction, while the heart remains open. The throat chakra, however, is completely still, a signal that speaks directly to the client's need to voice what she's been keeping hidden.
Using muscle testing, Courtney identifies the age point for deep work: four months in the womb. What unfolds is a conversation with the fetal self about the mother's emotional state during pregnancy, family dynamics, and the imprint of uncertainty that shaped early trust patterns. The client discovers a "broken compass", an inability to discern who is trustworthy, rooted in her father's instability before she was even born.
Through guided visualization, color work, and somatic release, the session extracts stored emotions (sadness, confusion, betrayal) and replaces them with new affirmations and symbols. By the end, all chakras are flowing. A rune pull confirms the work: Jera, the rune of joy, harmony, and family fellowship.
This episode shows how ancestral patterns, womb imprints, and present-day trust issues connect, and how to rewire them.

Hello, welcome to this very special episode of Practically Magick. We are going to be doing a demonstration of a healing session. And this is a blend of a lot of different modalities that I do, which is the Reiki energy which you'll be familiar with if you've ever done Reiki. But it's also emotional processing and it's a mixture of honey energy healing as well. So let's dive in.
Are you ready? Yes. Okay, there's going to be a little bit of talking throughout. And then there's going to be very much catered to what the client needs at this time. So before setting up what we're beginning here today, we kind of got a feeling for what cycle and what blocked chakras and what season the client is in at this time.
So due to some life unexpected changes, we'll say, we've determined that you are in cycle one, which is kind of like a rebirth. So you're kind of in a my life fell apart, my life as I knew it fell apart a bit, but it's a rebuilding of what happens after that. Yeah. Does that feel like that fits for you? Yes.
So I like to use the muscle testing then to kind of determine at what age of life we're going to be focusing on and get a feeling for what chakras we need to balance. Let's see if we can turn down the light a little bit. It'll get a little dark, but you can still see. So I'm going to start with the pendulum and I'm going to just measure through your chakras and see where they're at. Let's see if we can get that on camera.
So we're starting with the root. It's not completely blocked, but if you can tell from the video, it's not moving much either, which being in a cycle one, that makes sense because you're working on stability, grounding. You've been in a bit of upheaval as far as your safety and your security feels. Yep. And then for the sacral.
Okay. Let's see if I can show that. That is blocked as well. When my hand is still, it's not moving. So the solar plexus.
Okay. It's not completely blocked. That means that you have not completely lost your sense of self. Actually, it's moving more and more now. I'm flying to the end again.
Yeah. Which is amazing. I mean, that's really a positive and hopeful sign in that no matter what happens, not having to question your own self-worth, keep some of that flame. The heart chakra is open. We're going to try to step to the side so the camera can see.
This is what it looks like when it's open. It's moving in a circle. I would just say that it's probably a smaller circle than I would like to see. So we can work on that. Moment of truth, the throat chakra.
This is the one I'm really interested to see what happens here. Okay. So you can see that is not moving at all. Which is not a surprise to me. Before you came today, there was my crystal grid that I always prepare for a session and muscle testing through all of the crystals that go in the crystal grid.
The throat chakra was the one that came up. So needing some support there is, which just makes sense because you talked earlier about wanting to speak up about what you're going through, not leaving that secret or trying to hide the fact you're going through a hard time because it really lets other people have permission to go through their hard times too. Yep. Your third eye is nice and open and probably just as open as I would want to see it too. Not too wide, but good.
So what does that mean, the third eye? Your intuition, your trusting yourself. So I think through all of this, being able to come to a place where you go, well, I may not know what I'm doing. I may not know where I'm going here, but I do trust myself to figure it out. I do trust that I will know the right things for me.
Yes, I believe that's true. Using Taylor Swift as your North Star. I think that's a smart move too. She's a pretty good influence on the world. Yeah.
And that, even just invoking that power is kind of like a higher power. Not that Taylor Swift herself is your higher power, but it's sort of like that connection. Your crown chakra is nice and open too. So I think that sort of goes to show that you have some trust in the universe. Again, I may not know where I'm going, I may not know what's going on or where I'm headed, but I trust that the universe will guide me and has my back.
Yep, that's where I'm at right now. And sometimes you just got to have that. I mean, that's without any proof at all. Okay, so sometimes if I'm doing muscle testing, if the client is not familiar with it, or if you're not familiar with it, it looks like when someone is pushing down on your arm using the non-dominant arm, if they can tell if the muscles stay strong or if they go weak, that would be a way to muscle test on you. But since you're familiar, I'm going to go ahead and use my muscles and muscle test for you.
So I'm going to get narrowed down to what age we're bringing forward. I have an idea already because I know we're working on cycle one, but tell me how old you are. Forty-two. Okay, so we're going from 42. Actually, I'm going to come closer to the camera so they can see.
So when working with 42, we're going to say 42 or less. I usually start 40 or less, 30 or less, 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, birth. And then we go backwards from birth, 9 months, 8 months, 7 months, 6 months, 5 months, 4 months, 3 months. Okay, 4 months. Since 4 months is the one that went strong and then 3 months goes weak, muscle testing, then it means that at 4 months in the womb is where we're going to be going for today's session.
Okay. So this is not going to be based on your memories of being 4 months in the womb, your little embryo. Not embryo, by then it's a fetus. Fetus, right. Yeah.
So as you are going back into that time, I'm going to start with the drums and help you relax. Close your eyes. Just try to imagine yourself. If you can see that little baby, 4 months in the womb, your mother being pregnant with you, if you can visualize the place where she might have been living at that time. Tell me if you can, what number of child are you?
Third. Okay, so you already had older siblings. How old would they have been when your mother was pregnant with you? My oldest sister was 6. My older brother was 3.
Okay. A lot of what you're going to bring forward doesn't have a specific conscious memory attached to it, but you're going to be able to start to feel sensations. You're going to start maybe having an impression of what mom was going through at that time. Do you know of anything that she was going through when she would have been pregnant with you? Not that I...
I think her dad was starting to get sick. Was she involved in taking care of him? I don't think they knew actually until closer to his death, but I think that that was probably about the same time that he probably started showing symptoms. Good. Maybe just being around that energy.
Mom maybe starting to notice those things or having any kind of anxiety or fear that comes up. What do you feel like she was feeling and experiencing? Sadness. Confusion. It's very common for the baby in the womb to start to absorb some of those feelings and not really feeling the sense of individual self yet still as a part of mom.
They want you to imagine that if that little baby inside was able to say, the thing I'm the most sad would be that I'm going to lose my dad. I have this feeling like the baby might be feeling I'm just coming in and you're just leaving. Does that feel like it resonates? Gail wants you to identify all that feeling of sadness. Some of it belonging to the baby.
A lot of it belonging to mom who's feeling those things at that time. Imagine if we were to pull it out in a color. What color would that sadness be? Blue. I want you to imagine that you're pulling out all of the blue connected to that sadness.
If we're pulling it out everywhere in the body that it's stored. What shape or container would you like to put it in? It's showing up in like a watery form. So, okay, putting it in a vase. Okay, does that feel like it will hold it?
Yes. Good. Pull out all that blue liquid in the vase. We're just going to see that vase be set aside. Away from the body.
And you also mentioned confusion. So, we're going to allow that baby if she said the thing I am the most confused about. Would be. Why? Why is this happening?
Yeah. Because what does it feel like that little baby wants to be experiencing as she's growing and getting ready to come into the world? Joy, happiness, sunshine. Yeah. Yeah, I keep feeling like that's I'm being robbed here.
Do you feel that? Yeah. I'm supposed to be coming. We're all supposed to be so happy that I'm coming. Now it's being tainted with this sadness, this grief.
That's valid. And I don't think that they knew until they got closer, but I think they knew something was happening. Yeah. Yeah. I think sometimes we know energetically before we know logically.
Yeah. So, it makes sense that that baby would sense the worry or what's about to happen or what's coming up. Let's pull out all of that confusion. What color would that look like? Gray with a little bit of yellow.
What would we like to put that in that feels like it would fit? A rectangle box. How big is the box? About as big as I am. That makes sense.
Yeah. Because it can feel like overwhelm. It can be connected to overwhelm. So when it's as big as you, that feels like that, you know, this overwhelming feeling. So that gray with the yellow in the box.
When you're ready, I want you to send that away. I want you to see mom as she's going about her busy daily life, taking care of those other two. Usually at four months, they're aware of you. Do you feel like she's aware of you? She knows you're coming.
Yes. What comes up next for that baby? How is that baby feeling about? Curiosity. Okay.
Good. I feel like that baby were to have something to say to mom or to the family that she's coming into. I want you to visualize if you were to give that little baby like a little megaphone, she was going to talk. What would she say? Better get ready.
Okay. I want to ask if that little baby had any anger or even frustration that anybody in particular, who would that be? I don't really feel anger. Had anyone in this moment, my brother is coming, he's shining like he's just brighter than everyone else. Okay.
Does it feel like he's taking a lot of the attention or does it feel like he needs more? No, not as a negative thing. It's more of a, I don't like him looking up to him or. Okay. She's something like that.
She's picked him out. Yeah. She's like, that's the one. Yeah. I'm going to watch out for him.
He's going to be my special buddy. Yeah. Good. Why does it feel like she needs that? Why does she need him?
Just to help guide me through life. And as a big brother and friend. And his soul is bright. So. Good.
I love that. She's like, all right, I'm going to be needing him for that light to follow. Yeah. My next question. Not exactly sure how to ask.
Okay. Let me see. This will make sense. I want you to get in touch with that little baby at this moment and ask if she was concerned about coming into this world. What are her concerns?
The outside world. And what is she afraid or concerned that will happen? I'm not quite sure. The outside world seems scary. My dad, I'm not sure.
Do you feel like the baby is picking up on something that mom is feeling? Or do you feel like she has this intuition? I think there's intuition. Okay. So then my question is.
How does that little soul. Growing. Getting ready to become a person coming into the world. How does she feel about herself? Like I'm ready to take it on.
Okay, good. Not doubting herself at all. That's good. Learning and being curious too. Mm hmm.
Because her ear is open. She's feeling everything. I get this feeling too that there's some question about whether the world is going to be. Not just the world, but the life, the home. Going into it, is there going to be.
Safety. Or certainty. How does she feel about that? Yeah, I think that revolves around my dad. Mm hmm.
To tell me more about what she feels about dad. It just feels uncertain. Not stable. Mm hmm. If she's feeling that things are uncertain, especially with dad, what do you feel like she decided to do about that?
Just lean into my brother's energy more. Okay. Yeah, that's making sense too. Looking towards him. Yeah.
If I'm not so certain about dad, I'm going to look towards brother for that safety. And what does it feel like that was giving her? What payoff does she get from doing that? Like a sense of security and safety. Feels like there's some control there.
Yeah. Okay, I'm going to try something here. Remember when we had that megaphone and she could talk to anybody. I feel like there is a moment we need to give her. She gets to use that megaphone to talk to dad.
And in this version, nothing's going to happen to her. It's not going to hurt his feelings in any way. So however you want to visualize that, where he is just going to be the listener, I want you to allow that baby to say to dad what she wants to say. Get your shit together. Focus.
Yeah, because why? Because there's a family. Mm hmm. And you need to offer the stability. And it's so, so great that that baby has brother to look up to and to point her focus towards.
But what does it feel like to not be able to do that with dad? Well, I don't have trust in him and so I kind of just almost turn my back away from turn away from him. Mm hmm. And not even humor that. Mm hmm.
Not even try. Does it feel like there's any hurt inside about having to do that? Like, what did it make her feel about herself if she can't rely on dad? He's not going to be there. Doesn't have a shit together, basically.
Well, that's his own problem. Mm hmm. It definitely is. But did it affect her little baby self in the way that she feels about herself? Just trust.
Not being able to trust the people around me. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. We don't blame her for that. And not relying on people. And what is it costing her to not be able to trust?
Well, so what comes up is I try to put my trust in and then I get disappointed anyways. So. Maybe it's the people that I am trying to put my trust in. And people that don't actually have the capacity, just like my dad. Mm hmm.
Yeah, does it feel like maybe that? It's hard for me to put this into words, but I see it almost like a broken compass. Yeah. Like it broke my compass. Yeah, yes.
Because I don't know now which. Yes. People are worthy of my trust. Okay, so a lot of that that we just worked on is connected to the emotion point of shame. Almost like, oh, I.
I have something wrong with me. That I'm able to. Discern who's trustworthy and not right and not. So with that, I want you to pull that feeling out. Just that.
I don't know how to trust feeling. Pull that out into color. That's harder to pull out. Mm hmm. That's good awareness.
What does that feel like? Does it feel like there's a payoff for holding on to that? Protection? Yeah, sometimes we don't want to let that go. It's because we believe it's serving us in some way.
Mm hmm. But what if in replacing it, we replace, I don't know who to trust with. A more clear idea of discernment in. Being able to tell who I can trust and who I don't need to put my trust in. I don't know how to do that.
Yeah, makes sense because that little baby didn't know how to do that. Yeah. That's not clear yet, right? Mm hmm. Okay, so we're holding on to.
I have. A broken compass. I have. The inability to know who I can put my trust in and who I can't. Yeah.
But holding on to it feels like protection. Mm hmm. Feels like if I don't know, then I just don't trust anybody. Or I trust the wrong people. And keep trusting the wrong people.
I feel betrayed and I feel betrayed after that. Right, so there's your cost. Yeah. If I keep doing the things the way that I've done them. I'll keep getting betrayed.
Yeah. What else is it costing? My kids, they don't know how to do it if I don't know how to do it. Mm hmm. Passing that on to the next generation.
Does it feel like some of that is generational? Yes. Yeah, so it's betrayal. Yeah. Let's pull out betrayal.
Just betrayal. What color is that? Um. Like a. Um.
Uh, brown. But like tree sap. Mm hmm. Yeah, that can sometimes be connected with the adopting behaviors that bring control. It all feels like I'm going to do this because this is how I control.
And that makes perfect sense with what that baby was going through when getting ready to enter the world. If I cannot rely on who I'm supposed to rely on. I'm going to seek out that kind of certainty. It may be the wrong people. Pull out all that brown, sappy stuff.
What do you want to put it in? A round jar with the cork wood. Okay, perfect. And then you can move it away. All the emotional points are holding strong.
So this might be an opportunity for that little baby to rewrite her story. Instead of feeling like she has a broken compass and doesn't know who to trust. We can start to pave a way forward. Put a little bit of a sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense of sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense sense As we work on releasing some of that energy that we pulled out today, so you just feel all that comes up and anything that needs to come up. I'm going to say some release statements as we go through this.
You can either say them out loud or in your mind. I release believing I don't know who to trust. I let go of feeling unsafe. I let go of feeling unsafe, the insecurity and not knowing where I belong. I let go of seeing things only in black and white.
I let go of codependency patterns. I let go of parasitical relationships. I release feeling uncertain. I let go of the connection of my worthiness to what I do or even mistakes. I release misguided trust.
I release being overly talkative or overly silent. How is that little baby feeling at this point in time? We are going to invite a higher power to be there with mom and a little baby. What or who would you like to see be there with them? I want you to see Jessica there with mom and baby, comforting them, welcoming them.
We don't want to give Jessica all of our heavy stuff. I love that she's there. For her to be there. So you can imagine just the source of all energy in the universe. Maybe if you could see it as a bright white light, does that feel like that will resonate with you?
Yes. The source of all creation, bright white light, love and healing. It's so powerful that it can take on all the shapes and colors that you've pulled out today. So you're going to see it with that blue liquid in the vase, the box, the round. See all of those shapes and colors you pulled out that represent that heavy energy that baby was carrying with her.
She didn't need to come into this world carrying all that heaviness, especially because a lot of it didn't start with her. She was just a tiny baby and already felt such heavy things. I want you to see all of those things go into the white light that is so powerful it could absorb everything. I want you to see a universal light that's going to offer that little baby a gift, a symbol or an object that she needs. What do you see her getting?
Okay. Any particular color? Just red with a green leaf. Beautiful. Kind of.
It's like Adam and Eve, but she has the power. I love it. It feels like a restart. Like I'm rewriting this story. Taking ownership of that story.
I want you to see her take the apple, the very essence of it and all that it means to her, and see that little baby absorb it into her whole being. We're going to replace it with these affirmations. So again, you can say these out loud or in your mind. I am safe. I feel safe.
In my family and my community, everybody better get ready for me. I don't know why that was important, but it feels important. See that little baby like, get ready. I feel like that's what you're doing now. Get ready for me.
I can be my own North Star. The world is my creative canvas. I take pleasure in the creative process. I take responsibility for myself. I take responsibility for myself.
And I let others take responsibility for themselves. I want you to see that little baby. I want you to see her filled with an orange light. The orange light that you see in the sunset. Or in the glow of the embers in a fire.
See that beautiful glow. Maybe small at first and then brighter and brighter until she's shining just like her brother. Take a deep breath. I speak my truth. I trust myself to know who to trust.
I know that no matter what, I can still be okay. I know that no matter what, I can still be okay. I deserve to have my needs and wants met. I deserve to have my needs and wants met. I want you to see yourself being infused with a beautiful bright blue color.
Feels like the airways are opening up from the heart, lungs, all the way to the ears, throat, mouth. What I'd like you to do is I would like you to see that little baby. She has these new tools, new blessings of color. The apple. I want you to see her grow bigger and bigger and bigger with her whole family excited to have her join them.
I want you to see mother giving birth, bringing that little baby into the world. As she comes, see her being wrapped in a beautiful soft pink blanket. And I feel like Samantha's there. Jessica, sorry. You can wear Samantha's key.
Who's that? Who's talking to me? Someone is bugging me. Okay. So I feel like she's there with you.
And I want you to take a moment, just visualize yourself. Holding you on baby. So brand new baby, Aisha, into this world. I want you to take a moment with her. Do you feel like there's anything she would say to you or anything you would say to her?
It's okay. It'll be okay. She's strong enough to take whatever the world has to offer. I feel like she's saying the same thing right back at you. Yeah.
This is our rebirth. While you're holding her, I want you to see the two of you wrapped in a white light. And we're going to see her age up through all of the ages that you've been. Taking that apple until she is aged up with you. Two of you merged into one until you're whole again.
How does that feel? Like a sense of relief. Or like fate has been written in your heart. Or like fate has been left in. It feels like even though some circumstances can feel like it really shook your sense of trust, it's almost transmuted into this knowledge and experience of...
Now I put that towards discerning who to trust. Yeah. I'm going to go through and measure those chakras one more time. We knew where we were blocked when we started. So I want to see...
make sure that they're all flowing. This is the root. This was completely blocked before, but it's moving nice. Nice round circle. That's what we want to see.
And for the sacral. The sacral has a lot to do with relationships. Perfect. I feel like that one doesn't take too much convincing. You already have a good sense of like, that's not my stuff.
That's your stuff. You know, with dad and everything, it was like, no, that's his problem. That took a long time to learn. But we can still have that residual difficulty when it comes to new relationships that come in and out of our lives. Like, oh, now I have to practice it with this new person.
Yeah. Solar plexus looks good. And also, you're a creative person already, so creativity doesn't take a lot of convincing. Just need some reminding once in a while that, oh yeah, that's right, I love creating. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but I do love creating.
Okay, the throat looks good. Nice and open. Already had good. Yep, that looks good too. All of the chakras are flowing nicely.
I'm going to drum your feet for just a minute just to ground you. Close out the session, then we'll have you pull a card before you are done. Take a couple of deep breaths. And when you feel ready to roll up to sitting, let's find out what is going to be the perfect. Okay.
Perfect tool to use today. We're going to go with some. We just need to find it. I never know what cycle we're going to be doing, otherwise I'd have it ready ahead of time. Like, here my friends, here you are.
Okay, you're going to pull a rune and then we're going to find out what the message is for you today. Okay, lovely. Use these cards because I'm still learning the runes. Cool. So it's quite ancient and like a whole other level of learning a language.
Oh, there it is. No wonder. Okay, Jo. Carry this card for joy and happiness, harmony and partnerships, positive family relations and good teamwork. That was pretty much the whole session.
Yeah. The runes don't lie. So this is actually a great symbol and I'm going to take a picture of it and text it to you with the rest of the things that I send as a follow up. So I'm going to have affirmations, a recommendation for crystals and Bach flower essence, if that's something you want to try and then I'll take a picture of this too. Earthly meanings are happiness, celebration, harmony, family, fellowship, hope and good luck.
Spiritual meanings is inner peace and one with the universe. I'm going to show that card. So this is the rune reading for the session today. I'm kind of curious to see what it looks like in this deck. I just got this from an artist at the Gothic market and it's kind of like a really cool looking.
Here we go. Oh, I love that for you. Yeah, beautiful that is. That's what it feels like. All those colors and just watery.
We're very watery people, you and I. So how do you feel? Like I have some processing that still needs to be like just. Yeah, yeah. I'll also muscle test for you how many days of integration you have in this session because it may be that you'll be extra emotional as you're processing that and pay very close attention to some of the imagery that came up for you.
You might find that apples show up in very interesting ways and places and you might find that there's like a definite guiding you. In like what's how this is connected. I don't think it was not obvious to you where why would I be going to the womb and why would I be going to this like rebirth stage of my life. I think it makes complete sense that the yeah, the going to the womb and and yeah, then the birth. I think that makes absolute sense right now.
And the you know, I always tell clients in session sometimes the obviousness of like where does this what does this have to do with now? What am I doing in this life? But you may be like I can see where my mistrust has gotten me or where I feel the same sense of how I felt with dad that I may have felt at that time how that's going to come out for me in life right now. And I'm just maybe a lot of that has been shaken. So you're kind of going, OK, instead of feeling really lost or even feeling like what's wrong with me that I let this happen or that I trusted someone that wasn't it wasn't the right person of trust, but to clear that out and say, actually, this is giving me a clear sense of who to trust and how to.
Yeah, no, that actually shines a pretty bright light on why I do why I've done the things why I choose the people that I do and you know how it correlates with my dad when I was in the womb. Yeah, since before I was born. Yep. Yep. Womb sessions can be really powerful.
I mean, that was one of my first sessions ever was I went into the womb and I was like, what are we going to talk about here? I was in the womb. I was a growing fetus. What am I going to talk about? But it's really pretty powerful to be like, oh, all this stuff came up.
We trust what we're experiencing. Yeah. Well, thank you for being my demonstration today. Thank you.
