Baby

I have noticed that during my cycle, ahem, period, I'm more emotional... not like requiring medicine, but the usual moodiness... I have noticed that I find myself challenging the ego or giving in to it... I am aware yet seems like everything makes me feel empty and sad... or question human nature... how do you handle or deal?

@SenshiAna thank you, that was a tiny secret not so secret or tiny, I think orgasms makes everything so much better too. ? @Rosie a hand sanitiser? It's ok. I'm sure most of us, at some point or another have had our moments. I'm starting to think that is not so unusual or bad or weird. Just look at all the ideas, sugestions posted here. Yes, PMS can be sucky and should always be checked out by a professional... but it's totally interesting what you gals come up with. ?

You guys... Awesome! Not by diet, not by hormones running a mock unchecked, not feeling or unfeeling feelings (boys--- periods are so way out of your ability to truly appreciate or understand, and child birth). I just tend to be really aware of my body, the weather, other people.... And I've noticed that I am much more aware of things, thoughts, changing my mood ... In a way one might ask "why do man cheat? Genes? Hormones? Or just idiots? But I'm not really addressing that. my awareness comes from having had complications with an illness... Once you feel pain in such a way, you are left very aware of just about anything and again, been cleared by my specialists.

Ah thanks, no.... But i'll.. Maybe try chocolate...v Steaming??? Lol

@Leo Gura and all of you ladies, I have checked checked with my doctor and relatively eat healthy, have done plenty of detoxification both physical and emotional. I will look into some of the ideas you shared too... But the reason I asked was because I find it that during "that" time my ego becomes a bit more intense. "I'm more emotional, I'm more defensive, I'm more sensitive, Me! Me! Me!" not in the "bitchy, you are hormonal" just that I am aware of the slight change and the ego's need to be fed or get a hold of being. Working on becoming more enlightened or at least brilliant my ego sure gets the best of me during that period then again maybe I just like being bitchy and blame hormones... JK

@Leo Gura @Nick Leo, I love you so I'm sorry but I fell asleep halfway through the video, I did rewind... k... The dissolution of the ego from the I, is the "Cake", Awareness is the file. The Matrix is the "I" or "Absolute Truth" The knowledge graph and all the bullshit their in, is the "ego" whether personal or as collective doxastic state, in which for the most part it control us. We think we are "awake", "see" and "know" but we are not aware, nor can see because the "I" does not judge. When we put the ego under the "I" then every belief, knowledge, and thought becomes unimportant. We stop arguing with ourselves and with others. Is not that we stop caring, it is that we become aware that everything the ego sees is both true and untrue and we accept it as such. Harmony. This could so end wars... Divorce rate would fall... Pain would diminish... then again this is also in the knowledge graph. so Nick you have to dig through the vast terrain of knowledge graphs to find your own nugget.

@Leo Gura I do not think I am infatuated with you at all, yet in a few occasion I find you floating in my head... I can clearly hear you say "Baby, you're trying to hard" how do guide or coach people into a positive development without indulging someone's ego? As I've conceder coaching but do not wish for the ego to be fed.

Everyone likes smoothly or vegetables...... I like broths... Hot steamy bowls of golden broths. At times Japanese style... Ginger and herb noted... Steamed vegetables and brown rice... Or noodles ... Zucchini noodles, gluten free, it's just really nice to have a bowl of amazing broth in the morning rather than cold high glycemic smoothly ...

Oh, @Leo Gura yes... I would say that there is a difference between masturbation and being intimate with someone else. Although one releases urges and physical needs, the other feeds primal needs.... The kind that builds committed relationship. Both coexist in balance.

For females, as animals, homosephian, is brain, hormonal, driven need to not only procreate but also keep the male around for the benefit of the offspring. Though some say, I don't want to have a child, the many other natural driven forces, leads one to want to attach to somebody and be recognized as important. To be loved and be needed. For we held an important part on the development of humanity. It doesn't matter if we are different, way, promiscuous... Deep inside we hold a gem. One we can not refuse. You can try, you can be a cat lady, spinter, a sister wife, open... Yet only one can know where we fit in. What works and doesn't in the development and implementation of our genetics.

I have had experiences though I often think of them as a trick of my ego...

I know it's hard when you live under your family home which can be difficulty... I'm in the healthy side and I have a grown human being who has particular ideas about diet... Kids have a way of changing and getting their way... Say ask for for yogurt 0 as a special treat. Offer to cook your own meals... Do not be afraid to take charge of your own cooking... Start by making broths or hard boil eggs... Clean your diet. People in my household have managed to pull grossed out to fully clean diets on their on... One shopping list at the time. Supplements are tricky, they take time and effort and money! Is more likely your parents shell it out on groceries that good verified supplements. For me, controlling the emotional factors was a step up way before diet and nutrition. Will your life into being, is the one thing you have.

So, are we tired of resolutions for 2016? Was it self realization? Diet? Fitness? Why should we care? I don't think we should...

Yeah, I don't believe in resolutions, I live on daily goals, prefer to stay on the moment and not worry too much on tomorrow... Balancing. I'm realizing everyone here is on top of it.

I think everyone would agree that it would be a bit reckless for anyone to throw out names of medication or supplements. I'm not a physician and what worked for me may not work on you. I would recommend that you seek professional help because it is a serious condition. However I would suggest that you research and read a few good books, for example "reversing Fibromyalgia" by Dr. Joe M Elrod, "Perfect Health" by Deepak Chopra, "The paleo approach" by Sarah Ballantyne, Phd to mention a few. I can not stress enough the connection of what you eat and drink. Is not so much what you can put in to it to release the aches and pains... It more about what is in it already. Research tumeric curcumin, herbal teas that relax, etc... @DrMatthewsausage

@Leo Gura I found it almost impossible to get out of my bed much less go to see the doctor... Actually I pushed hard to get to work and work and do all my duties under horrible pain (scale 1 to 10 I was super face) it took years before I could find any help... Tai chi.. Yoga... Diet ... Finding me. Not to mention that my location was nole of "good advice" where do you start if you start and go if say, you got no means of going anywhere? I couldn't just take a sick day to a retreat... I could hardly take a sick day from work and life.

@Leo Gura yes Leo... Thank God... lol you are hereby emicon god jk..

No! You shouldn't sleep around ... Your bed is a sanctuary. Respect it. It may bring about the company of a few warm bodies but you should also be very picky ... It's your bed after all...

From someone who has been diagnosed from this... Yes first is to realize that the pain it is not you. The body is in pain. Second and probably most important, diet... Is it nightshades? Gluten? Milk products? Really cleanse diet, juice, or eliminate all toxic chemicals and foods... Think of it as a mystery to solve. Nothing more. Not against you or at you. Find the right medical care who can guide you into a more holistic approach... Remember most of all, your body is telling you something is damn wrong!!! What's going on around you?

Alternate between saffron tea and sleepiry elm bark powder tea...

Yes, a girl can dream .... Now go and make some magic... Make it happen.

Yes, when I found Leo, it had a certain "truth" bell that resounded with in me. There are many great works of art... Literature and music... That will do that. It's a blessing that turns your antenna to the right tune. Awesome resources. Granted Leo is a bit ... An acquired taste... Unique. I am too. When he is at the highest I tend to go "wait a minute..." And in truth we all most go at our own pace. He would agree, so long as we stay on a positive track, bring light, kindness, and pass on our experience to those around us, we are indeed on the right track.

Congratulations! You're on track. Keep a journal. If something changes, ask for a hand, if you can help someone else...

Hmmm. Awareness, yes. Seems crazy but to skip that step at times it backfires... Specially if you are a perfectionist. Try to be in the moment, be aware of the feelings rising up... Let them be but sit back and wonder to why??? The dynamic of the process. For myself, my ego gets a kick out of "accomplishment" "I did something damn good!" Feeds the "I" pretty good....... Realize that, it is not important to feed the "I" yet you can perform suitable... Most importantly if you can truly be in the moment, without judgment, with total acceptance, you are totally in your element. Do not criticize you power of doing, just swim in it....

Wow, I'm really sorry you are going through this... I ppersonally know how tough it can be. I think we choose our family before hand... I think that when it becomes poisonous, it is up to us to decide if is best for our personal growth to keep relationship going or not. "What are you getting from this relationship?" I'd all you get is negativity... I have not spoken to my mother in over 20 yrs.... I did the same for my father and currently my sister... It is hard... I miss my family, I tried to hold on... At the end of the day I found myself confirming, agreeing, walking on eggshells to keep that relationship... Which it meant keeping my true self from being... To high a cost. They will grow, they have done what they are supposed to. It is all good. Acceptance is the key. Either way, play your role. are you here to add to the drama, feed the egos... Or awaken?
