Blood Magic

I am on my period and I feel like crying. Not because I'm sad or happy, drained or in pain but because of the gratitude I have towards being able to feel so deeply. Menstruation is a gateway to the well of a woman compassion, wisdom, intuition and inspiration. To the collective consciousness. On the dark end if resisted, it can be hell, destruction, fury, pain and suffering. It calls for a sacred time for spiritual work. Surrendering to the power and ecstasy of my divine feminine shows me the way. It makes me violently aware of the deep needs of my body, mind and spirit. How to love others, how to love myself. It breaks the chains of all that prevents me from going inward and nuturing. I must rest and rejuvenate. I must shed the skin of old and heal to continue to move forward in the world in ways that allow me to inspire the breath of life. Through this pain, exhaustion and misery, I am blessed to constantly be able to be reborn again and again with this sacrifice. Today I stop resisting and choose to feel it's bliss. She is your Shaman.

The modern woman has completely disconnected from her own womb magic. Hate your period, hate your pain. Frustrated at the inconvenience it poses to day to day activities. I am well aware that there severe conditions that make it so, but more often that not so many of the average woman's negative symptoms can be reversed through lifestyle changes. It happened to me! When your hormones are out of whack, your period will be just that. Your period will literally enhance the crap your body goes through daily through the way it's being treated with bad food, lack of self care, toxic relationships, negative mental patterns, stress, not enough rest and bad habits in general. If you allow it, it will be your teacher.
