I remember the first time it came to me, it felt like a sentence. I thought, "Oh no!"
I wasn't happy, but worried and thought about how difficult it was to be a woman. Where did those thoughts come from? Perhaps I inherited them from the women in my family. It used to be like that; I resented it, I cursed it; it was synonymous with pain and suffering. There was also a connotation of dirt, of a different smell; I didn't like it.
Is it a surprise that years later a fibroid and cysts appeared? Of course not. On an emotional level, I was carrying a lot of weight in my uterus. With changes in diet and lifestyle, this began to change.
Today I honor the woman I am. My blood is precious. I use it to water my plants (diluted with a little water) and in a face mask. It's rich in nutrients and stem cells. It has the ability to regenerate skin. It's life and a pure blessing.
My vision has changed a lot. After working on my health and healing my uterus, my pain decreased, the inflammation went down, I no longer retained fluids. I went from having a whole week of heavy bleeding (staining sheets and waking up in a pool of blood) to periods of 3 days of light bleeding.
What changed? Me, my diet, and my outlook on being a woman. I love the woman I am, I ferment my moon, my blood, and my sensitivity on those days. I avoid cold water, I cover my back and stomach well, I eat raw and lightly cooked foods (especially the days before). I go inward in introspection, I look at my shadows, what emotions emerge, what messages come down.
With blood, I also release old energy so it can be recycled. I let go of what I need to let go of. I feel like I'm being born again, and with each moon, I bring forth a new version of myself. Sensitivity makes me wiser with its lessons, the ability to feel so deeply and see with sharp clarity all the places where I'm screwing up, where I'm not setting boundaries, or where I'm forgetting to love and be grateful enough.
