Meditation and your period: Any tips?
in Spirituality ·
Carol Brown77 said:"When a woman experiences her monthly cycle, she should remain in her state of impurity for seven days;
anyone who touches her will be considered unclean until evening. Anything she lies upon during her impurity becomes unclean, and anything she sits upon becomes unclean.
Whoever touches her bedding must wash their clothes and bathe in water, remaining unclean until the evening." This is what is written in Leviticus.
And then there's all the rest... just constant talk about being "unclean" this and "unclean" that...
But I suppose, considering when these rules were first established, there weren't exactly medical textbooks or teen magazines 🙂 available to explain that menstruation is simply a normal, natural biological process. It seems a bit silly to label it as "unclean" or a sickness, but I guess it's somewhat understandable why they would write such nonsense back then...
The only sad thing is that even today, some people still try to justify these absurdities or push insecurities onto women regarding their own bodies...
all of that was just invented by dirty minds, dear ☕ 🙂
