Today I talked to a friend of mine who period was late. We talked about the usual suspects, could you be pregnant, maybe not, maybe your stressed, just wait a few day it'll come. When did you have yours? Mine is just a few days after, etc. By the way how many of us determine our cycle based on that of our closest friends? I am sure more that we know, its just a girl thing. Anyway, as I walked away from that conversation I began to ponder...... does your period reflect what is happening in your life. Is menstruation a metaphor of our life? Well lets see, do you have heavy, painful periods when you are are experiencing a heavy painful period in your life? I know this is true for me. Does you period drag on for days, when maybe you need to time to honor you instead of resuming your normal schedule. True again. Does bring to head all the areas in your life that you may be feeling distress? True yet again.
How many of you chart your cycles? Knowing when your period should begin and end. Knowing when your period should occur and welcoming this change in your life every twenty-eight or so days , can bring a change in the actual way we experience our periods. In my studies I have come to learn that your menstrual cycle is a time to rebuild your reserves, let go of pent up emotions and honor your body. Sort of your monthly built in therapy/rest time. Nature is so good.
Lets do this, lets begin by charting our periods. Start to keep a calendar for the last day it ended and count forward. You will then begin to see how many days your cycle runs. Once we discover this we can then begin to learn to heal ourselves during this time.
P.S. Did you know there are herbal remedies to bring a delayed menses? This is an entire next blog.
