The Female CycleBy Robin DuMolin & Jill HeineSince our female bodies can make babies we are designed to handle a lot of energy, both physical and psychical. We run three and a half times more energy through our bodies than male bodies do. This is a storehouse of energy. When our bodies are in harmony with us, the spirit, it is incredibly joyful.
Menstruation is defined as, ''The periodical flow of bloody fluid from the uterus, occurring normally about every twenty eight days.''Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary, 1964. Menstrual is defined as, ''1. Monthly; happening once a month; as the menstrual flux. 2. Lasting a month; as the menstrual orbit of the moon.''American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828. What is interesting about these two definitions is that the older one relates this function to nature. The other definitio n is simply clinical. Menstruation usually has a negative connotation to it. It is called, ''the curse.''The time preceding it, PMS, is also portrayed negatively. It is simply looked at as the time when females are more emotional and irrational. When the egg is preparing itself for fertilization it is sending signals to the brain that it wants to get pregnant. It does not care if you think this is a good idea. This is not to say we should be dictated to by our bodies, but when we ignore the body's signals completely, the body can feel invalidated or angry. During ovulation we can experience bursts of creativity. We may want to organize our home life or begin new projects. This is a time of beginnings. Menstruation gives way to the destructive phase. There is a great art in learning how to harness this destructive, or male, energy. If our emotions are out of balance, we could end up using this energy to destroy something on an external level, like a relationship or a job. This is a good time for cleaning, throwing things out or finishing projects. To give to yourself by meditating, reflecting, taking baths, getting massages, resting and eating good food, are all things that are especially beneficial at th is time. Having something that occurs every month gives you the perspective to look at your life in cycles. The menstruation cycle also lets you renew every month. You are not just expelling something physical, but are also expelling energy. All the thoughts that are really not your own, especially foreign male energy, are more easily cleansed out from the whole system; the body, mind and soul complex. It is easier to experience a new level of clarity after a lot of these energies are cleansed out of you. The more y ou are in the driver's seat, and conscious of the body and its needs, the more enjoyable it will be to be in that body and live a fulfilling life.

Our menstrual cycle helps to regulate the hormones and creates balance within our very complex system. Within every twenty eight day cycle our bodies experience ovulation and menstruation. Other cycles or patterns are also being repeated within us at the same time.
