"My womb is home to the divine." - Rupi KaurI cannot describe to you the absolute LOVE I have for this quote poppets!
I do wonder how many of us women worldwide feel shame and disgust when we reach our moon cycle. How many of us solider on, hide the wreckage and dose up on Paracetamol... maybe some confiding in one or two close female friends or relatives in secretive whispers of absolute horror.
We live a world where periods are hidden. We view them as 'indecent', 'gross', 'dirty' and a 'nuisance', treating them (and ultimately a part of ourselves) with disrespect and shame.
Changing this opinion and overall world view is hard, and progress is slow. In fact, many people will feel uncomfortable reading this post, and it's such a shame. Just give it time, the tables are turning.
I'm not going to preach to you about the beauty of moon cycles.
I will however leave you with just one request. One small, life changing request that takes so little effort, darlings.
The next time you are flowing with the Goddess, take some time to self-reflect. This is such a poignant time for you. You are releasing the physical excess of divine energy, so do some spiritual and mental clearing, too. Treat yourself with kindness, let yourself relax.
And for those women who don't flow, never have or don't anymore, allow yourself that time, too. You can't bare all the world's weight on your shoulders, you simply can't do it all. You are not a bottomless pit of give, give, give. So give yourself the opportunity to flow with the Goddess, too.
Remember you are strong.
You are a warrior. You are wild.
You are Woman.

Much love!
