One of the common characteristics we have as women is that monthly we have a menstrual period which refers to the expulsion of the eggs that weren’t fertilized in the ovulation; this last period which consists on the bleeding is called “luteal phase” so later, our body can prepare again for a possible pregnancy.

According to studies 75% of the women have menstrual cramps, aches due to our beliefs; but before look at them and take responsability for them, we prefer to leave the pain and the change of mood to the hideous hormons that follow us, and in that way be perceived as dangerous women; or maybe the pain comes from the beliefs we inherited from our feminine lineage.

Lately I’ve talked you about the collective unconscious that persecutes women, for this reason, all of us are carrying on our shoulders a story full of memories from the women who have stepped on the earth and who left us an infomation that being a woman meant sacrifice, injustice, pain, and today, your body is manifesting all of that.

The conflicts holding the menstrual cramps can be: anger for being a woman, rejectment to our body and to the femenine functions or difficulty to accept the femininity, and all that generates in us an unconscious guilty because in the ruling system we live in, seems that being a woman represents a challenge; those concepts not necessarily come from you but from your mother or grandmother who learned through their female progenitors that being a woman was based on following certain rules to be recognized and in that way, be loved.

If you realize, our beliefs are so deep-rooted they act over us and we are not even aware of them; if you see it this way, blood carries our DNA which contains our biological information, also it represents our family, our clan union, the symbol of life, and why not, the colour of love. Now imagine month by month we have a significant loss of blood, where do you think that belief takes us to? Of course to the pain that leads us to the absence of joy, meaning a loveless pain; and if that refers to our femenine information then: What meant being a woman for your lineage? Maybe being a shame to your father for not being a man, possibly a sacrifice that will cost us drops of blood or the guilt for being part of the weak sex.

Remember that our uterus is the archive of all our femenine memories and it’s a fundamental part to the creation of new generations and if we’ve been lead to think that women were created only for the purpose to have children, then another pain is added to the menstrual cramps: the unconscious children we lose everytime we experience a not successful opportunity of fertilization, representing another loss in the perpetuation of the species; combined to the painful beliefs of your mother and grandmother related with being a woman as the cause of pain and suffering.

Keep in mind that when we make acts of consciousness we get to see things from another perspective that’s much more compassive and loving.

When suffering a menstrual cramp many women present other symptoms as well, such as: faints, fever, diarrhoea, back pains, nausea, etc.

Faint and pain: One of the conflicts of faint, is wanting to disappear and undo what’s been done, in addition to the need of separation between you and your mother because for your unconscious and your family clan, being a woman means being invisible, therefore, being a woman means being pretty much non-existent.

Fever and pain: Fever represents your faith is broken, besides being a way to scape from critics choosing the anger instead, because possibly for your unconscious being a woman is hopeless because you look at yourself as a member of an unworthy gender.

Diarrhoea and pain: Maybe for your unconscious being a woman is something you want to get rid of, because for you being a woman refers to be a victim who had been submitted throughout generations.

Back pain: Your back has all the loads of our family; possibly for your unconscious you are the one who have to carry with those beliefs based on your femenine memories.

Nauseas and pain: Your conflict is the rejectment towards femininity, because possibly for your collective unconscious being a woman is a reason to feel unworthy and repulsive.

I find it incredible that women are driven to empower themselves, but I believe we haven’t been guided in “how to do it”, we must start by taking responsability over those memories we chose to believe and by consequence we’ve been attracting as a method of life; take responsability that we were the ones in charge of taking away our own voice so others could talk instead of us; take responsability that we chose to give our personal power to the others and from there, we conceptualize “the cons” of our gender, this means we’ve been the cause of those consequences, so I believe it’s moment to reconcile with our femininity through forgiveness because everything we chose to believe and embrace as a role were tailor made lies created by a not convenient system.

I believe if women are adopting a new role in history, the first thing we must do is to build ourselves with a group of new beliefs that take us to the integration of who we are, starting with our own concepts, without thinking that being a woman refers to pain, loss, sacrifice or suffering, because none of that’s true; so if you suffer from menstrual cramps, before rejecting them, recognize them the same way you would have liked those ancestral women would have been recognized, make consciousness that this pain you feel it’s an indicative that you also deserve to feel valued and that your periods are only part of your femenine nature; so tell to your femenine lineage from now on you’ll remember and recognize them with love instead of pain, because pain pushes you away from your true function, that’s being a woman who deserves to be loved and recognized for who she is.
