Shift your body into a comfortable place.
Allow yourself a deep sigh.
Good.
This is a guided meditation that will infuse your Mother Earth connection with your menstruation cycles.
This empowering awakening takes us back 14,
000 years,
To where evidence has found societies embracing and honoring this sacred time and sacred natural cycle.
Closing your eyes,
If that is comfortable for you,
Visualize yourself walking down a garden path.
And as you walk in this garden,
You will notice the life growing around you.
As you started the walk,
The flowers were carefully trimmed and placed,
And the shrubs were cleanly groomed.
But you notice,
As you move along the garden path,
There is a change in the types of flowers and herbs and plants that are growing.
As you walk,
The flowers begin to change into ones with strong roots.
The herbs become ones that heal,
And the shrubs become trees with twisted old ancient roots.
As you walk,
You begin to feel the power and the source energy in life when it is growing without limitations.
You can feel within you a shift beginning to move.
One that takes you back 14,
000 years,
When the symbolism of a woman as Mother Earth was honored,
Life growing and nourished by the Earth while able to nourish with her milk.
Just like the natural springs of water,
She sometimes bleeds and yet does not die.
She is the moon that waxes and wanes.
She is the trees around you on your path that lose their leaves in fall and regrow them in spring.
She is the snake that can shed its skin and regrow another one.
She is the bee pollinating the flowers and gifting honey.
She is the goddess,
And so are you.
We and you are Gaia,
Artemis,
Eros,
Her power and her energy everywhere on Earth.
In Africa,
Ashanti,
And Ala,
And the list goes on.
Until only a couple thousand years ago,
The shift of yin,
The dark,
Receptive female,
And the Earth moved to yang,
The light,
Intellect,
And masculine.
And so it is.
There was one or the other,
And balance was unclaimed.
Breathe.
Breathe deeply.
Choose a tree to sit by along your path.
Rest your back against the trunk.
Feel the pulsing energy moving through the tree and into you,
And then down through the roots,
Transforming into renewed energy and coming back through you and into the tree.
Breathe.
Allow this energy to take with it anything that hurts,
That feels painful or stressful.
Allow those feelings to move out of you and be renewed in the flow,
Being carried without effort in the veins of the tree.
Feel the power within you as you reclaim your knowing of connection with Mother Earth.
Your menstruation cycle moves with the moon cycle.
Your ebb and flow of emotions is good and healthy and helps you thrive as a person.
Your ability to feel is an awakening and gateway of transformation.
What do you feel right now?
What part of you needs tending?
Do you feel energized,
Or do you need to rest?
Mother Nature is never one way.
The perfection of the Earth is that there is always.
Weave the strength of the roots,
The plants that are growing without limitations and expectations.
Weave their deeper knowing into your spirit right now.
The discomfort of menstruation is an invitation for you to rest.
Take warm baths and care for yourself while listening to the guidance of your soul in your space of openness.
Breathe.
Breathing in.
Exhaling.
Walk with your light and cherish your dark.
You are a woman.
You are part of a grand and wonderful living system all around you.
Feel that.
Live in that knowing.
Become who you are meant to be.
Honor this time in your cycle.
It is deeply connected to a life force all around you.
