It's ok to tune inward using the time for quiet reflection and to build up your energies.

This is a magical sacred time.

We can celebrate our femininity.

Connective energy,

A light that protects you from anything that does not serve you and nurtures the positive connections to yourself and others.

Let go and enjoy the relaxation.

Treating yourself with love and compassion makes you stronger.

The menstrual cycle is our connection to Mother Nature.

Now slowly it's time to return to wakefulness.

Use your body and mind to become aware of your surroundings.

And bring yourself back into your room.

Become more aware of your environment,

The temperature,

The noises.

And gently start moving your toes,

Fingers,

Move your shoulders and neck.

Gently stretch your arms out and when you are ready,

Open your eyes.

And let go and enjoy the relaxation.
