Hello my dear,
My name is Diana and I'm very happy to welcome you to the menstrual breathwork practice.
Together,
We will create a space where you can fully embrace your body's desires and honor the transformative power of the sacred time.
As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of menstrual pain,
I invite you to join me in a practice that celebrates sensuality,
Self-care and profound connection.
As a teenager,
I faced the overwhelming struggles of menstrual pain,
But I want you to know that it does get better.
With the passage of time and self-discovery,
I learned that during my period my body craved love,
Understanding and gentle care.
It became clear to me that connecting with myself during this time was crucial for my overall well-being.
Today,
I invite you to take this precious time for yourself,
Allowing sensuality and self-love to guide your practice.
Close your eyes and with each breath let go of any tension or worry that may linger.
Feel the softness of your clothes and blankets,
Enveloping you in a cocoon of comfort.
This is your opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the sensual experience,
Savoring every moment.
Allow your awareness to sink into the present moment,
Letting go of any distractions or worries that may vie for your attention.
Feel the support of the earth beneath you,
Grounding and centering your energy as if you are embraced by the nurturing arms of Mother Earth herself.
Take a moment to pay attention to all the intricate details surrounding you,
The soothing warmth of sunlight on your skin,
The subtle scents that fill the air,
Allowing yourself to immerse in this sensory experience.
Shift your attention to your breath,
The rhythmic dance of life within you.
Notice the natural flow of inhalation and exhalation as your breath moves effortlessly,
Without any force.
Observe the gentle rise and fall of your abdomen with each breath,
Like the ebb and flow of waves on a tranquil shore.
Keep your belly soft,
Allowing it to expand and contract naturally,
Without any need for control or restriction.
Embrace this opportunity to cultivate a deep awareness of your breath,
Allowing it to become a gentle anchor,
Grounding you to the present moment and the sacred connection with yourself.
Bring your focus to your menstrual cycle,
A remarkable journey of change and renewal.
Take a moment to reflect on the different phases of your experience,
From menstruation,
A time of release and shedding,
To ovulation,
A time of fertility and potential.
Recognize the inherent wisdom and power of your body as it gracefully navigates these cycles.
Embrace the unique qualities and gifts that each phase brings,
Honoring the change of your inner landscape.
And let a deep sense of gratitude and acceptance wash over you as you celebrate the beauty of your menstrual journey.
Now,
We will engage in breathwork techniques,
Specially tailored for your menstrual cycle.
Begin by taking a slow,
Deep inhalation through your nose,
Allowing the breath to expand your belly.
As you exhale,
Imagine that you're blowing the air through a straw.
Imagine releasing any tension,
Discomfort or emotional residue associated with your menstrual cycle.
Repeat this breath pattern,
Allowing each inhalation to bring in revitalizing energy,
And each exhalation to release any stignation or negativity.
During the breathing practice,
If you're experiencing discomfort or wish to cultivate a greater sense of calm and relaxation,
You can try visualizing your breath flowing into your lower belly.
Imagine the air gently filling this space,
Nourishing and soothing any tension or discomfort with each inhale.
And as you exhale,
Release any tension,
Allowing it to melt away.
As you continue this breathwork,
Visualize your breath as a healing and nourishing energy flowing through your body.
With each breath,
Imagine this energy reaching your womb,
Bathing it in warmth,
Love and acceptance.
Feel a deep sense of connection with your femininity and the innate wisdom of your body.
To enhance the calming effect,
You can follow a breath pattern where exhale is twice as long as inhale.
For instance,
You can inhale for a count of three or four and then exhale slowly and steadily for a count of six or eight.
Feel free to adjust the breath counts based on your comfort level,
Making the inhales and exhales longer if it feels right for you.
You're doing great.
Continue the same way for a few more minutes.
Continue to breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth,
Like with a straw.
This breath pattern can promote a sense of deep calm,
Activate the body's relaxation response and help create a greater sense of ease and well-being.
Remember to listen to your body and adjust the breath pattern as needed,
Allowing it to support you in finding relief and cultivating a peaceful state of being.
During this breathwork practice,
It is natural for emotions to arise,
Whether they be joy,
Sadness or anything in between.
Embrace the opportunity to witness and acknowledge these emotions,
Offering yourself kindness and understanding.
With each exhale visualize releasing any emotional tension or discomfort,
Allowing a sense of release and healing to unfold.
Remember that your breath is a powerful tool for emotional well-being and by honoring and releasing your emotions,
You create space for greater peace and inner harmony.
Now,
Let's take a moment to support yourself with the kind and self-compassionate words in your mind's eye or out loud.
Repeat these affirmations.
I feel loved.
I take care of myself.
I love myself.
I fully accept myself.
I am beautiful and healthy.
I am taken care of.
I love myself and support myself.
Now,
Shift your focus to a sense of gratitude for your body and its magic of menstruation.
Express appreciation for the strength,
Loving,
Resilience and wisdom that your menstrual cycle brings.
Acknowledge the importance of self-care during this time,
Both physically and emotionally.
As we conclude this transformative menstrual breathwork practice,
Let me remind you that you are an essential part of wonderful nature.
Embrace the magic and profound gift of menstruation,
As it is a testament of your connection with the cycles of life and the creative forces within you.
Take a moment to celebrate and honor your feminine energy,
Recognizing your body's innate strength,
Wisdom and intuition.
Embrace the unique qualities that make you a woman and cherish the gifts that come with it.
Trust in your inner voice.
Embrace your essentiality and cultivate a deep love and appreciation for all aspects of your being.
Remember that your menstrual cycle is a sacred journey,
Carrying with it the potential for self-discovery,
Healing and transformation.
As you engage in this breathwork practice,
Let it be a gentle reminder to honor and listen to your body,
To embrace self-care and to nurture your feminine energy at all times.
Embrace the inherent beauty and power that comes with being a woman and enjoy your divine femininity.
When you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Be gentle with yourself today and listen to what your body wants.
Whether you prefer to take a nap now or take a warm shower,
Get a cup of hot tea or just lie down with a book or your favorite music,
May you carry the essence of this practice with you,
Allowing it to guide you in celebrating your womanhood in every part of your life.
Embrace the magic that flows within you,
That you are a radiant embodiment of grace,
Grace,
Strength and love.
Enjoy being a woman and may it be a source of deep fulfillment,
Empowerment and joy throughout your journey.
Thank you for this precious time that we spent together and I will see you next time.
Bye!
