Menstrual health x Nervous System

Menstrual health is deeply connected to the nervous system.

When your system is under stress, your cycle feels it too.

What does it mean for your period days? Amplified pain, fatigue, mood swings.

When I began regulating my mind and body through rhythm, breath, and calm, things that I never thought were possible to shift, shifted.

The menstruation became less intense, the pain gradually went away, the energy and focus came back, the days became more normal.

My cycle stopped being something to fight, and became something to understand and embrace.

I’d like to start a series on how I approach this process to get closer to my body and learn how to embrace the cycle with a gentle flow instead of fighting against it. Would you be interested?
