Ask yourself, do you LOVE your cycle?

As every woman is different, so are women's periods. Some have longer periods than others, some have more severe symptoms of periods than others while some don't have any symptoms at all. Some women hate them while some don't hate them much. You can actually learn to embrace and like your period. You may even find yourself looking forward to your cycle.

Periods can cause pain and cramps, can cause mood swings and irritating feelings. It can be costly as products cost money. It's understandable how moon cycles can be associated with negative experiences and connotations.

​

Let's shift your focus and place emphasis around the sacredness of your cycle, learning to embrace and look forward to the cycle of fertility and wisdom.

​

The menstrual cycle is the most basic, earthy cycle we have. Blood is connected to the archetypal feminine. The macrocosmic cycles of nature, the waxing and waning, the ebb and flow of the tides and the changes of the seasons, are reflected on a smaller scale in the menstrual cycle of the individual female body. The monthly ripening of an egg and subsequent pregnancy or release of menstrual blood mirror the process of creation as it occurs not only in nature, unconsciously, but in human endeavor. Benefits can be reached if this is viewed as sacred.

​

Consider this- almost 25% of the year is spent on your cycle; now imagine how productive and improved the year would be if you used that 25% to maximize your connectedness of your cycle and nature to harness the strength of magic and power during that time to work for you and not against you.

It is a process that allows women to give birth to new life. It’s a function of the wondrous uterus, a self-cleansing and purposeful organ. Menstruation is an experience that unifies women across the world. It reminds women of great feminine abilities. How can we not celebrate this? Menstruation is deserving of more recognition, at minimal appreciation is deserved. In many ancient cultures, menstruation was seen as a sacred and precious time. Due to the connection of the cycle to the moon phases, menstruating women were believed to harness great spiritual power. This may explain the use of menstrual huts in certain cultures, originally intended as safe, comfortable spaces for women to retreat at the ‘height of their powers’. Different cultures celebrate a girl’s first period. They view it as a right of passage in to womanhood and mark the occasion with a ritual or cultural practice. Menstruation is given the respect and the regard it is worthy of.
