Been exploring Free Bleeding the past few months, as my yoni started telling me that she doesn't like anything inside her (including my menstrual cup!) while bleeding.⁠

Personally I have found that since making this shift, I feel waaay more in tune with the magic of menstruation.⁠

During my bleed these past couple of months...⁠

✨I feel more grounded⁠

✨I feel more feminine⁠

✨It's been easier to go into yin mode and really slow down to hear the wisdom that comes through at this time of month⁠

✨I have acknowledged & felt even more emotions & stories related to menstruation (anger, grief, disempowerment, etc)⁠

✨I've realized how primal I feel at this time of month and feel even more embodied as a result⁠

So in addition to strolling around the house in nothing but a towel these past few bleeds, I have switched to Period Panties and am loving them.⁠

I am careful not to say that any form of menstrual care (cup, pad, tampon, panties...) makes it so "life can go on as normal" because I don't believe it's supposed to when we bleed.⁠

It's an important time to slow down, tune in, listen to what needs to be let go of, and set new intentions.⁠

Many cultures & traditions understand the significance of menstruation and yet Western culture still reduces this powerful time to a hormonal & physical event with no understanding of the spiritual significance.⁠

For me, wearing these panties has allowed me to stay connected to the power I feel while free bleeding, while also not "containing" myself with my menstrual cup (which is what I was beginning to feel).⁠

I know many of you have tried these panties &/or free bleeding (comment your experience below!) but for those who are new to the magic of conscious menstruation, I would suggest that you start by simply committing to slowing down & going inwards on the first day of your bleed.

Set the intention to become open to how powerful this time of month can be for you, and see what starts to unfold!⁠
