An experience in dilation and discharge
(i.e., open wide and say it loud)

The yoni is the most utterly feminine part of woman, mysterious and hidden, soft, receptive and embracing. Yeah.

In many ancient languages, the word for yoni also means "sacred place."

"The sign of the Yoni was meant to convey the shape of the external female genitalia, which the ancients clearly recognized as the seat of female sexual power. Tantrics viewed that power as the source of all creative action. Far from describing female sexuality as "passive" in the Western manner, Tantric Hindus regarded female orgasm as the energizing principle of the universe."
