How do you like being called a "baby bearer"???
The Times Of India' refers to you as that, in an article by Saadia S. Dhailey published on May 18, 2011, saying: "Too much is involved as baby-bearers are reminded of their natural role every month..."
Not only are you a baby-bearer, but this is also your 'natural role'! The news story goes on to say: "There's no denying that plenty of of us require to get rid of the every month trial forever. Possibly they can..."
Do you require to cease the phenomenon of rain because it is inconvenient to be outside while it is wet?
We have become such a convenience-based culture, that they seek to eliminate anything slightly uncomfortable, irrespective of the consequences. Lets imagine a world without rain: warm temperatures abide, the sun is shining year-round, they can enjoy the great outside 365 days a year, no need to stock up on warm cloths or boots, it is another day in paradise! Or is it?
Have you noticed how the great outside is slowly but surely drying out? The grasses have turned yellow, as did the trees. Creeks, rivulets, rivers, and lakes slowly shrink and dry out, having no rain to replenish them. It takes time for them to evaporate to nothing, but their disappearance is inevitable. Animals start to die as their water sources vanish, and wait, what about us? Where do they get to drink from? Our reservoirs are empty. Well, but no more bothersome rain is falling, is not that a nice thing?!?
Devising a pill that wipes out menstruation is like making a process for eradicating rain!
Both menstruation and rain are crucial to our life cycle. Either can be inconvenient, or enjoyed, depending on your attitude and willingness!
If you ever bundled up and took a child out in the rain, splashed in a paddle, or lifted your head up and tried to catch raindrops on your tongue, you know the way joyful the "inconvenient" rain can be! And, yes, you must have also been terribly inconvenienced by rains on lots of occasions, as all of us have. Is this a lovely reason to start working on methods for rain suppression?
Suppressing menstruation is as short sighted as rain suppression!
Starting with the fact that they don't know what the long term hormonal repercussions might be, suppressing menstruation is tempering with the blueprint of womanhood! Females are cyclicalbeings. They ebb & flow with the moon, they dance a every month rhythm of expansion & contraction, they move from outward- to inward-bound modes of being, from action to dreaminess, & back again... In the same way that they can not prosper in a no-rain world, they cannot prosper in a mono way of being. It is not how they are wired as females...
But what about PMS, cramps, mood swings?
Remember being miserable in the rain versus reveling in it? Rain is not there to inconvenience us. It is there for a reason, and it calls us to be joyful in it if they so select. Likewise, PMS and most physical or emotional signs related to menstruation are therefor a reason. They are our body's wise way of calling our attention to the necessity to cease, rest, go inward, replenish... Suppressing menstruation is killing the messenger!
We can thank it instead...
We can thank our body for reminding us that we have been on the go and it is time to cease for some time. They can appreciate the chance for taking stock, for renewing ourselves emotionally, as our womb renews itself physically by shedding it is inner lining every month.
Fighting our body's message will produce signs, or worsen the mild ones which they ignore. Taking time off, on the 1st day of your period, even in case you can only spare a few moments in the morning before somebody else in the household gets up, will help you attune to your inner rhythm. Spend those moments (hours, or the whole day in case you are able) reflecting on what you are letting go of from the ending cycle, & what you require to welcome in the beginning...
You may soon discover you are drawing strength & renewal from your body's rhythm, than keen to do away with it.
The manufacturers of the menstrual suppression pill would need to encourage you to not bother. To have every day be the same: sunny, dry, & linear.But who would you listen to: pharmaceutical companies or your own body?
Would you like to live a PMS-Free life? Would you like to love your body, your cycle, & your whole Self, unconditionally?.
