Meditation and your period: Any tips?

boldsailor2 said:Man, this whole thread is making my mouth water 🙂 🤣

Gonna go grab some snacks 👋

Hmm, I haven't eaten much red food lately... 🙂

... maybe some beets 🙂

What's your favorite color to eat??? 🤣

👋

Why is the fake blood used in pad commercials never actually red? It's almost always blue. What's the catch? 😕

This whole thing about stability really hits home for me 🙏 especially during that time of the month when everything feels heightened🤣

Honestly, a huge number of women can feel like emotional ticking time bombs during those specific days.🤣 Stability is such a rare thing then.

It’s actually pretty well known that women in postmenopause tend to be the most cooperative too. I was reading some fascinating stuff about a potential mission to Mars, and the theory was that these women would be the absolute perfect candidates for the journey. Apparently, you wouldn't have to deal with any testosterone-driven competition or that wild emotional rollercoaster caused by shifting progesterone and estrogen levels.🤔

boldsailor2, you want some tea?🤣🤣

Well, since no actual bodily fluid is blue, it just feels cleaner. It’s mostly about being mindful of viewers with sensitive stomachs or kids watching TV, I suppose. ☕

"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...

Larry Lewis2 said:Where in the New Testament does it actually say that women should be silent?🙂

Christianity is far too massive a movement to be free of parasites... there are so many different factions within the faith itself, like the Neocatechumenal Way or the Third Order, etc. What gets served up on CNN or in news columns—usually just a snippet of some sermon or a flash of someone's ego—is merely the tip of the iceberg. We shouldn't even talk about what lies beneath the surface. Because, at the end of the day, we are supposed to be talking about menstruation.

bluemason3😘 I'm not going to argue with you. I refuse.😍

Unfortunately, it does seem to say that—though I assume it’s more about things like maintaining silence in a place like a church.

I suppose there is an argument to be made that women should remain silent during meetings; after all, their role isn't necessarily to lead the discussion, but rather to be submissive, much like what is outlined in Leviticus.

If they truly want to learn something, I suppose they could just ask their husbands at home; after all, it’s generally considered improper for a woman to be speaking up during a meeting.

To me, that feels more twisted than just showing blood as it actually looks—red. Honestly, give me a break.

It’s honestly ridiculous to let anyone dictate your life like that—you just end up becoming someone else's slave.
Besides, menstruation isn't "impure." It’s a perfectly normal, natural biological process, just like sweating or anything else.

You clearly didn't read what the Scorpions wrote... 🧐

The Scorpions aren't even gross 🤣

You basically sold me out as a scale😢😁

However, men miss out on the intense highs and lows we experience without letting it shake us. 😉 Being a woman is truly wonderful. 🙂

I have to agree,🙂 it really is wonderful.🙂

electricbadger47 said:Can someone please make sense of why some—or actually, all—of the major world religions have such a massive problem with women on their periods? You aren't allowed to pray, you have to isolate yourself, you’re "unclean"... I get that hormones might throw off your energy levels a bit, but does that really mean I'm suddenly incapable or something? It's ridiculous. And then there's Islam, where apparently God forbade women from praying altogether (as if, what, God doesn't even notice a woman is having a period??!!).

In Islam, God didn't "forbid" women from praying; rather, it's viewed as a concession to make things easier for them, sparing them the requirement of prayer during the discomfort of menstruation.

Exactly... which is precisely why you all go searching for a constant, for stability, for security. You know deep down that you're essentially chaotic 😂 😍
a sine wave oscillating around an axis... it's simply a law of the universe. 🤣

I suppose that means if she wants to pray, she still can?

Especially when you consider the depths of the abyss. After all, it wasn't as if Eve simply reached out and grabbed an apple on a whim.😂

well, what else is there left for you anyway, haha... 🙂😁

Forget about Eve. Lilith was the one who truly broke the rules. 🙂 Honestly, they probably would have preferred to just toss her into a corner along with everything else they wanted to suppress—menstruation, female pleasure, all of it.

Lilith... I don't care to get into any serious discussions about her. It's irrelevant.😁 😍
Look, if it weren't for the biological distractions of menstruation, women might actually be the most advanced species on Earth. But since you are inherently "unclean," there is this invisible barrier that stunts your progress and drags you right back down to zero. That is why you supposedly need some innocent, angelic creature—like a man—to teach you how to properly harness your intuition. But honestly, where is a woman supposed to learn that from?🤣 😍

I don't have any TV. Clearly, that Seinfeld fellow must have lost his mind too. But then again, that's just how it goes—whether you were Lilith or Eve, it ends the same way.😁
