My Bleeding Time Agreements with Myself
Agreements:
- I am not obligated to do dishes
- I will avoid lifting heavy things
- I will be mindful of eye contact, and utilize tools of energetic protection
- I will avoid heated discussion - most things that I think NEED TO BE TALKED ABOUT RIGHT NOW actually don't...
- I give myself full permission to not cook if I don't feel like it
- I will keep my body, especially my feet, head, and womb, warm and out of the wind.
I also talk about:
-How I've begun very organically scheduling my life around my cycle. I don't think it would have made sense if I had just started off with a calendar or a plan because someone else told me to do it...
-How I'm feeling these energies of outer and inner spring. The challenges for an Aries and the beauty of it
-I finally understand what drawing a line in the sand is actually supposed to mean! But does it really make sense?
-The concept of creating an energetic red tent for myself
- Exploring the idea of marking the end of bleeding like a mikvah from the Jewish tradition
