Do you experience overwhelming emotions, irritability, depression, sensitivity, mood swings, anger, anxiety, fearfulness, intolerance, frustration or a heightened inner critic just before your bleed?
Imagine that you had a monthly safe container to release the premenstrual angst, tension and emotional overwhelm. Giving yourself full permission to feel what needs to be felt, say what needs to be said and move your body how it needs to be moved. Remember, emotions are energy-in-motion. If you hold onto them and leave them unexpressed without release, they can go stagnant and get stored into that gorgeous body of yours.
I designed ‘Premenstrual Permission’ for people like me, who arrive at the end of their menstrual cycle in a bit of an emotional mess. After being tuned into the gifts of my menstrual cycle for nearly 6 years, I still can feel the ground fall out from beneath me in the few days leading up to my bleed. The most effective way I have found to soften the tension in this time is to turn to someone who can hold me in my process. I do not need to do this alone and neither do you.
Why do I feel so emotional just before my bleed?
During Autumn (the week before your bleed) there is a rise and fall in oestrogen and progesterone levels, this fluctuation in hormones can impact our emotional landscape and produce the symptoms listed above. More interestingly though, the veil between the subconscious mind becomes thinner and more active during the premenstrual phase.
I find autumn the most challenging and yet most fascinating time to navigate. I experience this to be a potent time for great integration and healing. Why? Because we are being tasked to face ourselves and our emotions become a barometer for what is not working in our life. Past traumas can emerge, our core wounds are closer to the surface, we become sensitive and our intuition shines like gold. The absolute gift in this process is that with a little support we can become the all seeing wise woman, the enchantress that can see what is real, what needs to be faced, what needs to be worked through, cleared, released and changed in order to heal.
What happens if I continue to ignore how I’m feeling?
If we don’t pay attention to the emotional feedback in Autumn then it will have a knock on effect into the new cycle. The tension will continue to build, making you more sensitive to others. You can end up taking things out on your partner, kids, friends, colleagues or directing your struggle inwards, cranking up the volume of the inner critic. If we do not release some of the tension during Autumn then our periods can be heavier and uncomfortable, we can experience lower energy levels throughout the month and when we get round to the next cycle, the tension can be amplified even more if the emotions are not properly acknowledged. Imagine how much baggage you have been carrying month after month after month.
