I was living a healthy lifestyle, yet still experiencing PMS and period pains from month to month. What could be the causes? Find out what I’ve discovered…
In my own healing for PMS and period pain, I’ve come to understand, experientially, the powerful connection between the body, mind and spirit.
I’ve learned that some of the more serious PMS symptoms and period cramps I experienced were really physical manifestations of negative thinking patterns that I’d held onto for a very long time.

What else could I do?
Emotional Causes of Menstrual Problems
I sought answers during meditations and through my mood journals. And the answers came to me:
1. Women’s menstrual cycles are symbolic of our intuitive wisdom and emotional processing and transformation.
2. When we honor ourselves, love ourselves, and allow our emotions to be processed, we enjoy healthier menstrual cycles. And our minds and bodies are healthier as well.
3. On the other hand, when we refuse to embrace the difficult or unpleasant emotions inside of us, when we deny the shadow sides of our personalities, or when we hold negative beliefs about our menstrual cycles and ourselves as women, various menstrual problems may manifest, including lack of periods, heavy periods, irregular periods, painful periods or PMS/PMDD.

Affirmations to Healing Menstrual Cycles
Recognizing this powerful connection between our body, mind and spirit, I began to consciously release the pains that had been lodged in my body from the past. I also began to reprogram my negative thinking patterns through affirmations.
And I’m making progress: I haven’t had period cramps for three cycles in a row.
Here are some of the affirmations I use.
I do this when I’m completely relaxed at the end of my meditation. While gently focusing my attention around my uterus or areas that need healing, I mentally repeat the following:
1. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you.
(Releasing whatever is to be forgiven, whether it concerns you or someone else…)
2. I love you. I love you. I love you.
(Sending loving energy to your genitalia and yourself…)
3. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
(Saying thanks to your body, to you, and to all the blessings in your life…)
Many old, long forgotten memories came up for me during the process. See what sensations or emotions surface for you.
Just take note of them, and let them go.
Continue sending loving energy to yourself, until you’re completely embraced by the loving hands of the universe.
When we love ourselves, everything else in our lives falls into place. It’s simple and true.

Thank you for this article. I have had heavy bleeding problems that usually synched up with some difficult emotional times for me. I will try your affirmation technique. I enjoyed your insight on this topic.
Hi Jayne, you may also want to try giving yourself an abdominal massage with cypress oil, which can help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. Let me know if it helps. Take care!
Thank you sooo much! I cried while doing this and genuinely felt myself recieve the love and forgiveness to myself….I will continue this practice! <3

Wow, Chief Harmony Officer-that title warms my heart, thank you for sharing your experience!
I over 30 years old and have been getting painful periods since I was 13. I experience severe pain in my lower abdomen and lower back, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and have almost fainted a few times. Last year, I had to visit the emergency room 3 times. I’ve tried Premenstrual Tension from BrainSync Technology and I saw that if I listen to this for about 3-4 days before the strike I am more present more able to handle myself… and this helped immensely. Give it a try http://www.brainsynctechnology.com/shop/premenstrual-tension/ This has helped a lot.

Just want to make sure you receive my e mail address for notifications. I enjoy this website. Thanks so much.
I totally believe this and I am experiencing this same process myself. My holistic doc found parasites hiding in my uterus. Sounds strange I know but most people have them. I am trying to get pregnant and nothing was working plus my periods were painful and cloty. Parasites are 100% emotional so I got in tune with some long standing issues related to my female identity and started processing them. Plus Im taking a parasite formula. My last period was much much better. I hope I can continue my healing through this emotional processing. Thank you-Rose Anderson
