Many of us have been brought up with the idea that the menstrual cycle is something that women have to endure…..yet another hardship in the life of a woman.

 

Indeed this important part of your fertility is often associated with phrases like ‘the curse’.

 

Also, there can be a sense of shame around your monthly bleeding as moods change and your soul reveals to you how you really feel about your life and issues in it (if you choose to listen).

 

Your menstrual cycle is a part of your amazing fertility….the part of you that literally transforms something from just a possibility ….to the complete physical reality (a baby).

 

Your relationship with your cycle reflects your relationship with your fertility (and therefore, your experience of your femininity, intimacy, relationships, pregnancy, birth and motherhood).

 

What IS your attitude towards your cycle? What are the words you use to describe it? How DO you respond to its arrival? How do you really feel about your period?

 

And are these feelings supporting your experience of your fertility, pregnancy, birth and womanhood?

 

In joy,
