As I’m reaching my great 40’s, I’ve been respecting my body more. I have always had awareness, respected my body, and eaten right. I did a little bit of an alcohol role, but that was due to my emotional state at that time of life.
Now that my body goes to talk to me, everyday. I have mapped it all out. A week before my periods arrive, there is a build up just like how estrogen goes up for the ovulatory phase. There is build up on the phrases, “I am alone.” “I am not happy with my husband.” ”Am I successful?” A nice reminder is that these patterns exist in your mind and the mind brings it all out like garbage day. The kids seem to be blood sucking mosquitoes. I want to run as fast as I can, but my body says ‘no I cannot.’ Just sleep more. “We are all tired,” says every cell in your body. “Let’s sit down and go on a rollercoaster of complaining and whining on how we have been a victim in this current world.” All that clarity fades away like it’s on vacation. It is awesome how the mind loves to bring up how small you are in this world; how all that you did over several years is absolutely meaningless. This is the time when everyone seems to be bothered. Every dust sparkles like it’s a clear cut diamond. All the clutter around the house some how manages to grab your attention. Every minute of the day seems like an hour. All I want to do is hide under sheets. Any meeting or phone call seems like a trip to dentist pulling your teeth. My belly some how houses gas, as if they all got invited for a party and they have bloated me so much that my boobs can feel the pressure and expand. Anything that I eat has a big consequence of exploding next day. I must say, I love this time of my month. It hasn’t even hit the camping zone yet, but my body seems to be camping up on mountains. Experience teaches a lot. I have loved my body even when it is struggling to keep up with what I want to do. I always feel like I am a walking miracle conducting 300 trillion cells performing an orchestra. I love, love, love my body. Here are some tips to help you with this phase of the month.

The human mind, an amazing equipment in itself.
It takes 2 years to lift our feet off the ground and jump. But, we lose that jumping part in our head when we turn 65 or older. Our mind shows us right and wrong, makes us see the world through experiences that are stored, and it chews on all kinds of stale data fed into it long back. Our beautiful mind is too scared of what is ahead and always protects us from new experiences. When you take risks, it reminds us of what was comfortable and wants us to be safe. Our mind can give us millions of reasons why we cannot enjoy our life this very moment. Excuses like that are menu cards, they show up when ever we are ready to flash it on others. I’ve been teaching yoga for 12+ years. I have taught yoga to 2 to 95 year olds. The mind is a miracle, it is so different and versatile in all ages. I have been working with traumatic brain injury clients and they have given me a new perspective on how the human mind works. In my everyday, from yoga to healing clients, I hear several complaints. Some are serious and some are workable, if you have learnt how to tackle the mind. "My husband is not what I really thought he is and would be. I am not sure if I should break up or continue.” "I am scared. I will fall, my balance is very bad.” “I am scared of flying. How do I over come that fear?” “My only fear is that something may happen to my son or daughter." “What if I die?" "I am so lonely! What if I never find anyone to be with?" “I don't want to be with that man, but I have to live with him." “My family expects a lot out of me. What can I do to fill it all?” In all these forms of fear, it is the mind that has taken over you. There are several reasons for it to act this way: It is constantly feeding your mind with thoughts that are scary. You may read books that have fear related concepts. You may have had experiences that are scary. Your parents may have loaded you up with fear that they had carried for generations. In my experience, the mind can be tricked. One way is to give it a wrong image for fear. Our mind constantly accepts the words we say out loud. So you should always watch what you say. A saying like, “I am broke,” may be fancy for you to use in terms of money, but your body and mind takes it very seriously. When you say sentences like: “I am starving.” “I am dying to do it.” They all affect us in some way or another way. All diseases arise from the mind. It is all psychosomatic. The body is finally reflection of the mind. When my husband is yelling at me, I imagine him playing a harp. Soon, my mind understands it is just amusement. Our fight ends there, as I am so amused that other people’s pattern are not recognisable for my mind anymore. Our mind is confused to even bring up, "he did this last time. Next time I need to be loud.” "Why doesn't he understand?" etc... When I fly, I create an image of myself sitting in the safest seats for a science experiment. One thing that has helped me the most is when my mind brings up certain thoughts from the past: I ask 1 question to my mind. “Will I die from this?” My mind always answers the question with, “NO.” Then it gets easier to reason with my mind; that this is not end of me and I have more days to live. Sayings such as, “I am here to enjoy!” “How can I amuse myself?" "Joy is contagious!” “Overcome fear and celebrate joy!” “Live today and tomorrow will take care of itself!” "Experience joy now and believe joy will find you in future." "Do the things you dislike to do and you will discover greatness!" As human being you have a choice and awareness. In every situation make a choice, and be aware of what choice you should make next. When I mediate, my mind loves to complain. That has been a challenge for me to over come after we moved to Denver. One more thing that has helped a lot in discipling my mind, is to talk to it sweetly and say fabulous things to it. And it really believes everything I say. We, humans, are infinite beings. We hold immense power to make anything happen. But why is it that some women are unable to create a baby?
Before you go on you guilt vacation, I want you to answer few questions.
We take time to know what is right for us. Especially in today's world, where icons show off their curvy body, killing themselves working out physically, or starving. If you treat your body for modeling for your online profile picture and have no interest in discovering what is healthy for your body; seasonally, according to location you live (etc...) Why should nature give you another being? 2. Are you ignorant and lack information on what chemicals do to your body? If you took countless pills while growing up, including multi vitamins, head ache pills, pills to postpone your periods; that results in channels clogging and toxic setting in your body. That could be a reason to not have a baby. The body is a natural cleanser. You should work on changing your habits and taking care of your body. 3. Sexual Abuse Yes, many women I work with have or had an experience of some form or kind of sexual abuse in their younger age. Go back in time, write the experience, how you felt, show your mind it was just an incident and make peace with the incident. That will bring in value to be in a women's body. Detach your mind from all kinds of negative comments that you have gifted yourself to define your sacred body. 4. Dislike towards husband, In my experience, many of my clients who go through infertility treatment do not like their spouse. Their mind is not able to reason it out as to why they don't like the man they want to have a baby with. It is strange that women who choose contraceptives also have some form of rejection towards their spouse. They try and are desperate to make a baby but in actuality, they don't have acceptance towards their husband. Our body is intelligent. It is hard for the body to just accept a sperm and reject the whole being and their family. Not liking your in-laws can play a part too. Our cells in our body know how to love. But you cannot suddenly suddenly categorise “ I like him when he buys flowers.” Or "I don't like him when he is angry" (ect...) 5. Gender issues Many of my clients who have issues with living in a women's body or have their mom in a weaker role, have certain issues in conceiving. There is huge block in accepting a man in your life. The reason for this is that a father figure would have set a negative experience in their lives. An easy activity to do is to write what is not okay with your father figure. Then, ask your mind, “Is it relevant any more in your life?” And next, compare it with several men who are amazing in the world. In my opinion, "Not all men are selfish, because the world is too big and one life is too less, for one person to know all the men in the world.” 6. YOUR opinions on babies In your younger days, you rejected the idea of a baby. You may have thought babies are dirty or whiny (etc...) "I will never have a baby.” “I would love to be someone first.” "A family are for the under achievers.” All these thoughts might have been in your head and shared as a conversation with you and your girl friends. It does exist in your energy field. It is blocking you from seeing "+" on your pee stick. However, Conceiving a baby cannot be the ultimate goal. In our ancient texts, there is so much emphasis placed on how to conceive a baby. As a mother, a women, and daughter; I have had my own struggles. In all those forms, I can only see that I am an infinite being and I can achieve anything I want in life. As a healer, I have gained a lot of insight on thoughts that create blocks. I believe that we all wear sunglasses. We see our world through several sunglasses, some taught, some borrowed, some assumed and believed blindly. If you want to transform and give our planet a better future, work on yourself first. I believe in making a baby is a miracle and give yourself a chance.
