RE: Yoga on your period? And how I have learned to honor my cycle
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you got something out of reading this post. Yes there’s so much wisdom around the moon cycle and bleeding in various ancient cultures. In some cultures all the women who bleed gather and free bleed together, when you live close to each other your cycles tend to synchronize. I feel there’s something really powerful in that.
I wonder if that's why women synchronise. It would certainly be easier to pass the free bleeding time in company, than alone.
Have y'all heard of a "red tent?" It's something of a ritual that I've heard of in passing on a lot of podcasts. Herbalist and witch conventions often have one set up for anyone needing it, but I'm not sure what all it entails. Sounds relevant to this conversation though.
And I wonder the significance of women syncing up too... I wonder how it'd play into fertility rituals in ancient cultures, making somewhat of a "breeding season," if you will. Lots of things to explore when you bring up the menstrual cycle.
I haven't heard of the red tent. Hopefully it is to do with cycles and not something more sinister. 😨😉
I can end up going down all sorts of rabbit holes when it comes to thinking about how our traits, habits and peculiarities, both mental and physical, originated. It's a real journey of discovery and I love it!
I’m happy to explore this more in future posts 🙂
