G'Day, I was just wondering if anyone had any theories as to why Linda knew Menstruation was linked to Karma...? What links Karma to menstruation? Obviously females in this incarnation must have created some karma in a past life to get it back in this life - but what? I can't seem to find an explanation in her books...Love and Light Nebel

Wow Nebel you read my mind I was going to post something similar about this. I would like to know what kind of Karma has been placed on us to have mentruation! It really does not make any sense why we should have periods. It's been proven that having your period does not matter for birthing, then it really doesn't make any sense. I really don't believe Natural Adaptation would allow us to have periods. No other animal has periods like a female human! Does the Karma have something to do with original sin?IP: Logged |

I am reading a book called Restoring The Goddess She says that we are made in the image of our Mother and that it is life giving blood. You should read the book it is wonderful... I picked it up from the library. IP: Logged |

Another area where I disagree with Linda. Menstruation is not connected to karma at all. It is in fact a cleansing and regenerative process that should be encouraged and not supressed. Women maintaining a healthy diet, lifestyle and proper supplementation will continue to menstruate intermittently throughout their eternal lives, when they desire to have children or simply enjoy the juiciness of fertility.

What Amethyst said...Also, I have really never had any pain with my period,that I remember.(drink plenty of water!!! it helps, right before you know it is time and all threw your menstral)it's an "old wives tale" from my Gram. I think it might be our break from men once a month as well. If you look at it from their point of view(men)we do some really mean stuff to them when we are at that time of the month. So, maybe it's their Karma?? What do you think?

Here is a very long, but interesting article on menstrual blood and how it relates many themes in history, including glandular secretions. Things the Rosicrucians are well aware of. http://www.nexusmagazine.com/starfire1.html If anyone has read Sitchin, his translation of the Sumerian Clay tablets tells us the Annunaki manipulated the DNA to cause this. It all makes sense to me. There is also a book called The Wise Wound that gives some very good information. For one thing, a female is most psychic during menstruation and that is why males feared them during that time. Also, during ovulation, a female is open to sharing her DNA and the psychic process again is in effect. Donna IP: Logged |

I agree with the regeneration process..but how do you explain endometriosis? I had it severely, and had a complete hysteretomy due to it..------------------ When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.

Bernadette,Endometriosis is a Moon related affliction in Medical astrology. Either by progessed or transit aspects from Mars or Saturn. Some physicians feel it is related to the spasm of the fallopian tubes during intercourse/orgasm during the actual flow of the menstrual period. However, they are still researching that theory. Then, there is also the Pluto factor of heredity. Lioness, yes, that article does shed light on several things. Interestingly, the first genetically created humans were like mules, unable to reproduce until the DNA was manipulated to create menstruation in females and spermatozoa in males. That is all explained in Sitchin's works. Which takes us back to the karma of menstruation. I think it all ties in, from Cayce's works to Sitchin's. All the created humans that were sterile were still able to have souls, and they became souls locked in bodys, only able to release upon spiritual enlightment. Did they only become locked in when the DNA was manipulated to create reproduction? According to Cayce and his story about Souls entering and leaving at will until they stayed longer than they should have, it seems to tie in with the DNA coding for reproduction. Donna

I have a theory on this subject. It's from the halls of bathtub wisdom, that's where I get most of my ideas.Women are natural healers and creators. The womb is not only for creating babies, it is a space that is concerned with creation in general. And also healing. Menstruation is the healer-in-us-all's attempt at trying to heal all the spilled blood on the planet. Distance is no hindrance. There are distance healings and the higher bodies have the ability to 'absorb' over distance. IP: Logged |

hmm...the whole endometriosis theory that it is fallopian tube spazms or due to orgazms does not jive with me.I had endometriosis at a young age...a very young age...it's hereditary in my family. one thing I have noticed though...with my best girlfreinds (my female friends that I see frequently) as well as female coworkers...we all seem to get "syncronized" with our menstran cycles. At the last place of employment, I shared a cubicle with this one girl and at first, our cycles were opposite...then...after a few months sharing a cube together...we were totally syncronized. Weird?

No I know why it is in synch. It's because our bodies emit odors that you cannot smell, but your brain picks up on them, and the odors change before you menstruate, so if your brain is picking up that everyone will be menstruating soon it will eventually become in synch. I mean, your're right, it is weird! I guess I am just used to it because anytime I lived with girls that would happen!

Not to intrude on the feminine topic, but I just thought I'd let you know it is a proven medical fact that women who live together or share a lot personal space daily do become in sync with their mentsrual cycles, my Psych of Sexual Behavior professor just tested me on it. There's certain fluids, oils, or whatever that women leave on objects that they share, and the hormones within read off each other or something like that.IP: Logged |

This is an interesting topic. I tend to think of mensruation as the body's signal to a woman that it is time for her to withdraw from her regular activities and regenerate herself within. I think that a reason a woman may have worse PMS than another could be because she is not listening to her body's signal to slow down and retreat inward. In some ancient cultures a woman would retreat to a hut and be entirely solitary for her moon time. It is a time for introspection and an opportunity for powerful divination. I read this book called "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" by Christianne Northrup M.D. and there was a facinating chapter about endrometriosis. She found that all her patients with the condition had unresolved issues relating to their mother. Some sort of negative repressed experience. When she delved abit into psychology with her patients and they confronted these unresolved issues, then the endometriosis dissapeared! My mother had endometriosis and she certainly had issues with her mother stemming from her youth. In the later years she mended the relationship and the endometriosis went away. I believe that most, if not all, physical ailments are symptomatic of underlying psychological issues. The body has an astonishing way of trying to send a message by coming down with an ailment that is symbolic in some form of the psychological problem needing resolution.

I have the notion that a woman's period is a monthly spiritual cleansing of energy that is also manifested physically. I have also noticed that when I have a month of positive spiritual interaction with myself and others that I get less painful cramps and that I am less irritated.IP: Logged |

i think it's interesting that menstruation is associated with cleansing in a similar way that animal sacrifice used to be, kind of, but you can take it one step further backIP: Logged |
