Question for the females

[andrasxflame]

Question for the females zevists here:

How do you manage meditation during your period? I find it very difficult to meditate due to the physical fatigue caused by my period, and I also find it very difficult in terms of my mood. Should I feel guilty if I can't give my best during those days? Do you have any advice on this?
Thank you in advance, as always

If you're fatigued, there is something wrong. Either you are low in iron, or need yin or yang somewhere. Nobody should be fatigued, I used to be as well but after years of meditation, yoga, Qigong, and proper nutrition I am not. Same with mood swings, these are caused by an imbalance.

Crystals that help with all PMS symptoms are Labradorite, Moonstone, Carnelian.

When we are on our periods, we have more power for magick. Meditation has the potential to be very strong during this time, so you should find out what is wrong and fix it, to take advantage of this powerful time.

There has been a lot of advice posted over the years, search in these forums with my name, Shannon's name, and a general search for more advice by other members

To have iron, horse meat is great.

It would be best to not advise bizarre Asian practices. We don't eat horses, I have never heard of anyone eating horse meat outside of Asia.

There are many ways to get iron without eating a horse.

(Don't be surprised if you get the oven reaction from members who love horses.)

Initially, it depends a lot on how your body reacts during your cycle. Personally, it doesn't change the way I meditate, but it definitely increases my strength and vitality.
Use simple methods, such as those already recommended by the High Priestess (eating well, exercising, etc.), so that you are not held back by something that is purely natural. The menstrual cycle is a woman's purification. It is essential to experience it well, especially during meditation and yoga.

The important thing is to do everything without feeling guilty. If you are aware that you have done your best, you must be grateful to yourself and listen to your body.

Sorry, I never realized it's supposed to be a bad thing to do... Genuinely.

I used to eat it when I was very small due to iron deficiency, and I allways saw that it's sold near the meat products of cows, pigs and chicken, and I'm not from Asia.

That's quite a discovery to me...

We are making it illegal in Italy, indeed it would be highly symbolic to ban the consumption of horse meat in Italy this year, the year of the horse.

For most people, it is horrifying to eat a horse. Humanity would never have expanded if not for our majestic equine friends. Many people would have perished from not being able to access anywhere by foot. Horses made expansion and travel possible.

Lol Brother, Shall we steal NG Sonne's horse for the occasion?

I have low iron and also suffered from fatigue. The best nutritional advice I was given was to eat a steak on the first day of my period. I usually combine it with raw carrot salad, which is hormone balancing. I grate the carrots (usually 2 large) and mix it with salt, pepper, 2 tbsp of coconut oil and 1 or 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. That meal is amazing for alleviating the fatigue for me, personally.

Iron supplements from the pharmacy, or perhaps even from the grocery store, work wonders.
