When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

vaginal air
Hi Denise,
This concept follows from what I just explained to Lilly Anne. You need to read the book to understand it completely – something I can’t really re-write here. But I’ll try!
When we are standing in natural bipedal posture, our vagina is a closed, flattened, virtual space. Virtual because it is not a space, but has the capacity to become a space. The front vaginal wall is flattened down upon the back vaginal wall and if we are healthy (no prolapse) the more weight we give to this system (within bodily limits) the better, because the extra pressure just flattens the walls more.
We do not experience vaginal air when the spine is in this nutated position because the vaginal walls are tightly shut.
When we counternutate the spine by tucking the tailbone – as you do in firebreathing – the vagina becomes a more open space and can suck in (and spit out) air. This can happen in any number of positions – most notably standing on our head or in the shoulderstand of yoga.
When the abdominal muscles are pulled in, the tailbone tucked, and the pelvis counter nutated, the vaginal walls are less compressed. Creating a lot of intraabdominal pressure in this position is not recommended because the only the way the vagina can protect itself from such pressure is to tightly shut, which happens when the abdominal muscles are relaxed, the tailbone lifted, the pelvis nutated and the vaginal walls pressed closed.
Vaginal air is no big deal when we are creating a vacuum or in an inverted position, etc.

im sorry christine
please forgive my ignorance. i just got your book a few days ago and its alot to understand. im still confused. do i want to create a vacuum while firebreathing? or is what happened a result of creating intraabdominal pressure? it wasnt pressure because air was being sucked in right? i think im just getting lost in some of the nutating and counternutating wording.ill see if i can find some answers in your book tonight. thanks for your help. Denise
