Period panties round 3...

I'm continuing to find that free-bleeding is bringing lots of unconscious stuff to the surface during menstruation.⁠

This past bleed I spent the entire first night awake, processing intense amounts of shame - seemingly lifetimes of it - for hours on end.⁠

But the more I enter these deep spaces, the more I realize that nothing needs to be "done"⁠

Meaning that "processing" is really just about being present to what's moving.⁠

Noticing what I feel in my body at the energetic, physical, & emotional level.⁠

This takes nervous system capacity, and so knowing how to resource your nervous system to not become overwhelmed is key.⁠

But I'm learning to trust the deep feminine more & more... finding that she does the work for me.⁠

So much integration occurs just simply from being present to what's moving.

Needing to understand it intellectually is not even really necessary - though it can certainly help to provide stability through the process.⁠
