Period Power is a profound but practical blueprint for aligning daily life with the menstrual cycle, to give women a no-nonsense explanation of what the hell happens to their hormones every month and how they can use each phase to its full advantage.Ninety per cent of women experience symptoms of PMS, a syndrome which features a wide range of signs and symptoms and yet there's an enduring lack of understanding about what it actually is, and a disappointingly meager range of treatment options.So many of us have a Jekyll and Hyde experience of our lives; we feel on top of the world, capable, confident and sexy for part of each month, then find ourselves in a state of physical and emotional discomfort and fatigue, wanting nothing more than to collapse on the sofa in front of Netflix. But what if instead of just trying to plan for our dark days, women were equipped with ways to improve them? What if our desire to improve ourselves could be combined with our need to know just what our womb and ovaries are getting up to every month? Not to mention how to take advantage of the natural superpowers that sit in each phase of our cycle, so that we can plan our month to perform at our best. Maisie Hill is uniquely placed, as an acupuncturist, women's health practitioner and doula, to explain just how we can achieve this, as well as focusing on particular milestones that require an altered approach, such as coming off hormonal birth control, infertility, pregnancy, motherhood and the perimenopausal years. Using what Hill calls the cycle strategy--a woman's secret weapon when it comes to improving her relationships, career and health--she will apply the principles of Eastern and Western medicine to give women all they need to make sense of their cycles, as well as accessible and practical suggestions through which readers can improve their physical symptoms, and stop berating themselves because of the way that they evolve through each menstrual month.
Meditation can be defined as a practice of mental exercises aimed at controlling the mind, specifically to quiet unwanted thoughts and distractions. Why is this necessary? Many people profess belief in something greater than themselves but struggle to articulate what that is. If asked, "Who are you?", most would point to their physical body. Yet, there is a deeper reality beyond our physical existence.Many believe in a soul but may not truly understand it, often reacting to death with fear or mourning. In reality, human beings encompass more than just a physical body; there exists a deeper essence known as the Higher Self.Due to distractions and erroneous lifestyles, people often fail to recognize their higher selves and experience life limited to ordinary existence until death. The Higher Self is akin to air: free and expansive when unobstructed, yet trapped within the confines of the individual personality. Just as air caught in a bottle cannot circulate freely, the human soul, when entangled with desires and fears, loses sight of its universal nature.This limited existence, defined by ego-consciousness, leads the soul to mistakenly identify as individual rather than universal. The ego acts as a veil, obscuring the expansive reality of our true selves. Through Yoga Philosophy and Meditation, individuals can break free from this confinement to rediscover their boundless essence.The manuscript primarily explores themes of Meditation, Spiritual Enlightenment, and Ancient Egyptian Wisdom.
