Metta Menses
There is so much more to the Menstrual Cycle than the biology lesson given to explain it. It is largely affected by the Moon, is a way for us to honor Mother Earth and the mysterious feminine powers of nurture, creativity and sensuality, and reflects a woman's personal life seasons. When a woman honors her Menstrual Cycle, Menstrual Periods are a painless, beautifully orchestrated function of nerves, veins, hormones and energy. Unfortunately though, 75% of women and girls suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and painful periods from lack of self-nourishment, in the form of quiet time, a lighter schedule, adequate rest, replenishing meal choices, and exercise during the weeks prior to, but especially during the Menstrual Period. This is due to high stress lives, over responsibility, feelings of guilt for taking care of ourselves, and cultural period shame that demands we keep going as though our period isn't happening.
"The female pelvis is a powerhouse of energy transformation; the very throne of creation through which universal creative energy patterns course and flow. This depends on balance within the system."Rosita Arvigo, DN
