Menstrual Musings

I love being a woman. Once a female experiences menarche, she is either pre-menstrual, menstrual, or post -menstrual. We are are always reminded of our functions as life-givers. Our bodies prepare to create new life each month.

When my menses arrives, it is a spiritual experience. Days before, I tend to have vivid dreams and start feeling more in tune with nature. When it arrives, I change - I seem to be in a natural meditative state. It feels as though all of my chakras are wide open, and my senses are sharper. My focus is on just being. Thoughts aren't running through my head, and I feel calm and peaceful. Even the pain that sometimes accompanies my menses is a spiritual experience. I feel my body move into balance as my attention is drawn to my body. Nothing else matters. I feel blessed and in tune with the divine feminine energy. I am receiving energy from the Source so I feel like I have an abundance of love to give. I want to touch more, hug more. I tend to want to love myself more; surround myself in comfort. My moon in Cancer is in full effect :). I see the world through different eyes - all seem naked, stripped of facades and falseness. I tend to look straight into the core of others as I feel we are all one.
