How to feel more confident during menstruation (rebirth cycle)
I want to start off by saying that I first menstruated when I was 12-13 years old at my high schools bus lot and had absolutely no clue why there was blood coming out of my vagina. Mind, you I grew up in a household with just guys that donât know anything about the functions of a âperiod.â I was uneducated, embarrassed, and ready for the bleeding to stop as soon as possible before anyone notices it.
Some of the things I knew at the time growing up learning about periods were mood swings, PMS, pain killer medicine/drugs, bleached tampons and pads, and being as stealthy I can when Iâd be on my period at school trying to open the packaging of a tampon/pad. How embarrassing...I knew other girls at my school felt the same way. Guys on the other hand, would make fun of girls on their cycle.
Why? Iâll tell you why. Because of our belief system. What we grew up knowing is what we know. Being uneducated about something like a womenâs cycle is okay. But when weâre belittling young girls/women who do bleed without knowing what it truly is, calling a cycle âdisgustingâ...thatâs a problem. And that problem still lives on today.
My goal is to uplift and heal wounds that havenât been healed spiritually, emotionally, and physically of the divine femininity and masculinity through spoken words and experiences that Iâve went through and can express that in a way where we all get an innerstanding of how can we balance certain things in our lives thatâs an uncomfortable topic to talk about.
So how can us women feel more confident while we are menstruating?
Know that bleeding out of our bodies is nothing to be ashamed about. We all do it. People get cut, they bleed. Only difference is rebirth blood is a sacred time to cleanse, connect, and heal.
Try getting more physical with your blood! Things like wearing cloth pads to soak up all the blood and rinse the blood out is a way to be more hands on with your blood. Another thing is blood painting. You can collect your blood from a cloth pad or menstrual cup in a bowl mixed with water, get a canvas and paint brush and start painting what you feel.
Journal whatâs going on during, before, and even after your cycle. Journaling is a powerful way to keep a visual representation of how to write in a flowing state.
Meditate! Meditating is a empowering time to observe what you feel and why you feel-as well as thinking. During our cycle we have a lot of emotions built up. Instead of being against our emotions, we have to learn how to be whole with them. It can be overwhelming and thatâs okay. Take some steps out in nature, deep breathe in, and release all the tension inside of you. Repeat until you feel the synchronicities flow through.
I encourage women and men, young girls and boys to innerstand one another more. More deeply. We have become very disconnected with ourselves because of programmed separation of our femininity and masculinity.
