The Path to Menstrual Harmony
Aiko 
We, women, are going through the energy of all the seasons every month, and in order to live a balanced life, we should move accordingly.
If you're here, most likely you want to know more about your own menstrual cycle. You are curious about how to balance your menstrual cycle, with yoga or maybe you just want to hear about this fascinating topic. If you’ve ever had the thought, “I wish I could just remove my uterus and be done with it!”, know you are not alone. When you heal your womb, you heal your relationships, especially with yourself.
Understanding and appreciating what our bodies do for us is a liberating experience.
When a woman pays attention to her cycle, she is breaking free from the shackles of a patriarchal society that has lost touch with the beauty of feminine energy. She has more control over her life when she understands her mood swings, wants, and requirements.
She is self-aware and able to navigate the tumultuous waves with more confidence and elegance.
Slowing down by choice is a sign of power rather than a sign of weakness.
If you're interested in the topic, I made a video where I explain all this in more detail.
Chart Your Menstrual Cycle
The first step to do in order to understand these patterns is to chart your menstrual cycle.
By charting your menstrual cycle you’ll see that you’re following a pattern. If you learn to feel your body, if you learn how your body is working, then you will be able to understand how to move accordingly.
For example, if you’re super excited on day 15 of your cycle and you know this, you won’t say yes to everything that your friends are asking, because you know that afterward, you won't have the energy to do that, to keep your promises. So the first thing to do here is to chart your menstrual cycle. And believe me, you will see patterns, and you’ll learn and get benefit from it. For this, I'm using two apps. One is called Clue, the other one is Hormonology, you can find it on the name “Hormone Horoscope Lite” and both are very very nice. What I like about hormonology is the short hormonal horoscope they give you every day. it's very precise--not all, of course, and obviously it changes from person to person because we're all different, but give it a try. It's very funny. I mean funny in the way that you see how much we are not in control of our emotions, especially the strong ones.
Inner Seasons
I would like to share a secret with you. During our inner autumn, we can direct our energy in expressing ourselves with art or anything creative we like to do. I publish on my youtube channel some of my inner autumn creations like this womb watercolor painting:
Do you want to know more about your inner season? You can read a small introduction on my website.
I also created a video where I explain this concept and how to use yoga, meditation, and basically everything you do 😊 in order to find menstrual harmony. I follow the principle of Ayurveda in regards to how to balance the different elements in our body during the different phases of our menstrual cycle.
