How to Start Your Yoni Egg Journey
Choosing the Right Crystal
Choosing the right Yoni Egg can feel like a sacred process, and with good reason. The crystal you select will support you in connecting with your sensuality, strengthening your pelvic floor, and deepening your relationship with your body. Be mindful to purchase a Yoni Egg from a trusted source—free from chemicals, dyes and artificial additives. Solid, non-porous crystals such as rose quartz, jade, obsidian, or amethyst are the best options, offering both safety and spiritual benefits. If your crystal is soft & porous, it can absorb moisture (your juices) into the minerals and can cause infection from not being thoroughly cleaned.
History of the Jade Egg
Historically, the practice of using Yoni Eggs, particularly the jade egg, stems from ancient Taoist traditions that have been around for over 1000 years and was a tool used by Chinese royalty dynasty to cultivate sexual energy, improve longevity, and support reproductive health.
Drilled Vs. Non-drilled
Yoni Eggs can either be drilled or non-drilled. Drilled Yoni Eggs can be used for beginner to advanced women. The non-drilled Yoni Eggs are recommended for more advanced women. Non-drilled eggs means that the egg has not been drilled, making the egg easier to clean. One is not bette than the other, simply up to your preference.
Threading Your Drilled Yoni Egg
The drilled Yoni Egg has a hole at the top of the crystal. This is where you can thread your Yoni Egg. To do, make sure you have 2 - 3 feet of unwaxed, unflavored dental floss. Threading your Yoni Egg will allow you to easily remove after your practice. Threading also provides peace of mind knowing that you have the control to remove it at your free will. Otherwise, you may have to sit on the toilet or squat carefully and push your muscles downward to allow the crystal to come out. For advanced Yoni Egg practicers, you can use the threading for retention training, where you can gently pull on the string to feel the resistance and strength of your pelvic floor (PC) muscles.
Goddess Yoni Egg Initiation
Step 1: Creating A Sacred Space & Setting Your Intention
To set yourself up for success, give yourself uninterrupted space for 20 minutes (to start). You may want to play some music & lock your door. Once you have set the space, set an intention that feels aligned to you. Give yourself time to connect to your Yoni Egg, placing it on your heart and breathing deep. Connect to your sacred Yoni, and your Heart. Take a moment to honor yourself for coming to this practice & to set your intention for what you want to experience. If you need some guidance with your intention, you can ask yourself these questions to gain more clarity: What do you want to manifest in your life? What do you want to release in your life? What is on your heart right now?
Step 2: Protective Light Meditation
Be present with yourself, what does your body currently feel like? Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your womb, noticing any feelings of expansion and / or contraction, and breathing deeply into your heart space. Softening & relaxing with every breath cycle. Notice a golden white light extending from the base of your root chakra (tailbone area) down into the earth. Imagine this light growing down into the earth, passed the soil, down into the layers, & growing your roots down into the center of the earth. Connect with the power & center of the Earth as you connect to your center & your womb space. Feel your connection to Mother Earth. As you feel this, say “yes yes yes!” Breathe into this connection for 3 deep rounds of breathing.
Keep anchored to the earth, as you bring your crown chakra, feel your connection to the heavens. See your light growing stronger, breath into this space for 3 deep breaths. Feel your connection to your Higher Self, feel her uplifting energy. Feel the earth grounding you and the heavens lifting you, feel these polar energies meeting at your heart and womb space. Take as many deep breathes here as you desire.
Step 3: Communicating With Your Crystal
Place your Yoni Crystal on your heart or on the outside of your yoni. Take some time to connect to your Yoni, your Yoni Egg, & your womb space. Begin to be in dialogue with your Yoni Egg, see what message it has for you. You can ask your crystal if she has any words of wisdom to share with you.
Be patient with yourself, at first this may be hard to hear & feel a connection to. Remember we all have the ability to connect to our inner wisdom. With practice, you’ll be receiving the messages the crystal wants to share with you. Be here for as long as you wish. When you feel complete, thank your crystal for its message(s).
Step 4: Body Honoring
Take time to acknowledge yourself for showing up to your practice. Begin by giving yourself a hug and whispering something sweet to yourself, thanking yourself for showing up to your practice. Begin caressing your skin in places that feel good to you, your neck, your shoulders, your hips, your breasts, anywhere that feels good to you. Touch yourself like you would want your lover to touch you. Invite in sweet noises to come out as you move your fingertips around your body. Remember as you breathe deep , you invite in more movement of pleasure. Take time to connect with all parts that feel good for you to touch. Simply coming back to your connection to the sensations you feel in your body. Inviting in more pleasure. It is safe to feel here.
Step 5: Exploring Your Yoni
Coming back to your intention, hold your crystal as you send your intention into it. Keep coming back to your intention as you practice
Yay! Now for the yummy exploration! Explore in any way that call to you.
As you lay down in your sacred space, place the crystal on your yoni or heart space. Ask your yoni if she is wanting to receive your yoni egg at this time. She will communicate to you with either a “yes” or “no”. You may even feel your yoni open up or contract. Listen to your bodies subtle messages. Only do what feels good to you. This is for you to live in your pleasure.
If your yoni is saying “yes” to this practice, to begin, place the larger end facing inward. Prepare to slowly & lovingly slip the crystal inside your sweet yoni. Imagine your yoni opening up to receive the crystal egg. Note: our pelvic floor is connected to our jaw line. As you open your mouth, relax your jaw, and breathe. As the egg gently glides within you, breathe, invite in a wave of sensation. If you feel any pain or discomfort, soften and continue to practice with the egg externally. At first, it is completely normal to not feel the egg inside of you. The more you practice this, the more you awaken and enliven these areas of our bodies that we have been neglecting. On the contrary, you may also feel the egg from the very beginning. Allow whatever your experience is to be.
Step 6: Deepening Your Practice
As you “unwind” your yoni from any tension or tightness, remember to breathe into these spaces and come back to your intention for this practice. Be tender and be patient with yourself. If for any reason, the sensations are too much, remove your yoni egg and continue the meditation with it close to your yoni or on your womb space.
Practice tightening your pelvic floor (PC) muscles around the crystal egg. Breath deeply and pulse your yoni muscles. Experiment with feeling your hips move in circles, soft infinity swirls, & gentle bridge pose by lifting your hips gently upwards. Keep moving your breath and welcome in any sounds or movements that feel organic to you. Be fully in your body and our of your head. Trust yourself.
Feel your sexual energy building within you, and move this energy through your heart, your chakras, your entire body. Coming back to your intention and visualize it manifested. You are working with your sacred & potent feminine creative power, this is your divine source energy. This is yours to access and express, do with this power as you choose. This journey is uniquely yours.
When you feel complete with this practice, thank your crystal and your yoni. Give yourself a delicious hug!
To remove your yoni egg crystal, you can stand up, relax your muscles and let the egg come out with gravitational force. You can also assist in its removal by squatting and using your fingers to pull the egg out. If this hasn’t worked, you can sit on the toilet or squat carefully, and gently push your muscles downward to allow the crystal to come out. As you get to know your body, this becomes easier. It is safe to keep your crystal in for up to 12 hours, although I don’t recommend it because we need to let our Yonis rest.

Once you cleanse your crystal energetically & physically, store in a sacred space. (I store mine on my alter, and rewash it with natural soap & warm water before next use.)
