At the heart of our femininity is our womb. Are you at war with your womb - or in tune with it?

The word feminine, for me, conjures images of elegance, creativity, love, grace, flowing, peace, nurture, positive energy. When I think of cycles, I think of life, nature, resilience, continuity, air, water, new life, being reborn, hope, rhythm and patterns. 

Instead of seeing our monthly cycle as opportunity, beauty, wisdom, creativity, rhythm, connection, nourishment and a celebration of life and femininity - we tend to view it as "the curse", annoying, something "we have to live with". We battle to manage, suppress or eliminate the very part of us that connects us to other women, all of life and the universe itself. Are we moving so fast that we are missing some of the beautiful parts of life that only happen when we have to slow down to notice?
