The Wonders of Energy Medicine: Period Pain
August 9, 2010 by Natasha
Ok, so period pain probably isn’t a topic you hear a lot about but when you suffer like I do, it’s difficult to keep your pain to yourself. For as long as I can remember periods for me have always been rubbish. No sooner do I come off my period and 10 days later I’m already feeling PMT symptoms, in particular very sore swollen breasts. Add to this, irritability, a short fuse, very painful stomach cramps, lack of energy, a headache and the compulsion to eat everything that’s bad for you, you could say that this time of the month is nothing short of crap.
I’ve been off the pill for about 5 years now, I was 31 when I made a conscious choice to stop filling myself with unnatural medication. I was also at an age where being pregnant wouldn’t have been frowned upon and my biological clock certainly had a louder tick. Although the pill really helped to reduce symptoms and pain, once making the decision to come off it, I didn’t look back.
I’ve noticed symptoms reduce dramatically when I’ve made a concerted effort to cut out sugar, wheat and alcohol. These times don’t normally last long before I sabotage my efforts and fall back into my old ways. Not even horrendous stomach cramps give me a good nudge to stop eating what my body clearly doesn’t like. But hey that’s another story and one which will be shared another time.
Yesterday was A- day, yep Agony day and the cramps were their usual cheery self. I normally put up with the devilish pain because taking tablets really is my last resort and as an energy medicine practitioner, I have the greatest tools to help alleviate pain. The problem is, releasing period pain using the techniques I know so well has never been on my to do list. So when the pain became unbearable yesterday, I reached for the panadol for a quick fix.
The tablets did the trick and I felt ok until I got into bed. The stomach cramps had started to creep back in and my head told me to get some more tablets and a glass of water. This time my heart kicked in and said ‘Natasha you know you don’t like taking tablets. Instead have a little think about why you have this period pain every month’. Now that was enough to get me going as it was the first time I had considered ‘looking’ for a root cause, instead of believing such terrible pain was natural.
I was lay on my side, quite relaxed and started to think back to when my periods started to be so painful. It hit me quite quickly, like a ton of bricks in fact, the core issue was right there staring me in the face, wow. How good am I to go to such extremes lengths on a subconscious level, I was shocked but hey I understand this stuff enough to know that our subconscious protects us and whatever we have created is normally for our greater good at the time, even if it doesn’t serve us in the present.
As soon as I recognised the core issue, I started to tap on the karate chop point and within seconds the period pain started to ease off. I must admit I couldn’t believe how quickly it shifted. I continued to tap and tell my body it was ok to release the pain now, it had done a perfect job for me by holding on to it for all these years. I thanked my body for doing what I wanted it to and gave it permission to go back to it’s natural state. I also thanked my subconscious for looking after me so well and told it a new story.
I did a few more rounds, solidifying my new affirmations and started to feel a little lighter. Consciously, I knew it all made sense and it seemed I’d discovered the root of my period pain. I fell sound a sleep and was delighted to wake up this morning pain free and went for my morning walk marvelling at how we really can heal our bodies instantaneously.
There may still be some healing work to do, so let’s see how the next few days go and the months to come. I’ll then share the core issue I uncovered as it may be beneficial to help other women who also suffer with awful periods!
I’d love to hear your comments!
