Whenever I get my moon I am excited. Like many women, I was taught to hate my period.
I saw my moon cycle as something that made me dirty and repulsive. I saw it as my body working against me. I would be embarrassed telling my partner that my cycle had arrived, scared I would be pushed away. I would slip a tampon in my sleeve hoping that no one would see. I used to rejoice when my birth control would take away my period. Saw it as one less thing to stress about.
This idea doesn't come from me. It comes from generations of shame around periods.
Periods are natural. It is when a woman is most powerful. It is a time of reflection and release. Whenever I see my blood I don't feel disgusted like I used to. I get excited. I get excited because I know it's time to go in. I'm excited because I know my body is functioning normally and is healthy.
Working with your moon cycle is a great way to support your divine feminine energy. I encourage you to let go of the shame. Go inward. Be with all that you are releasing.
