It’s full moon again. I can feel its intensity. Some full moons make you want to dance and celebrate. Some can drive you to the edges at times. Yet still others can bring up old wounds, waiting to be released and let go…
This morning during my meditation, I made an inquiry as to why I still experience menstrual pain. I thought that I was doing everything right: eating well, exercising regularly, and managing stress attentively. So what else is there to do?
This question opened a door to some old, forgotten and long-buried memories. I remembered how I had treated my menstruation with neglect. I remembered the times when I had not respected and honored my body. I remembered many painful mistakes I had made in the past…
“We have some healing to do.” I could almost hear my uterus whispering to me in her usual soft and quiet voice. “Yes we do. I’m sorry that I didn’t take good care of you in the past. I’m sorry for all the pains you have gone through. I’m going to do a better job from now on,” I replied.
I put those words down on a piece of paper and lit it on fire…
Do you have old wounds, pains and beliefs that you want to let go? May the purifying power of the full moon help us release the old, heal and grow.
How are you feeling right now?
Pause for a moment, connect with your feelings, care for yourselves, and share your journey…
