Day 27
I would bet that if one chronicled all of the arguments between men & women throughout history, a large percentage of them would occur when the woman has PMS. Our bodies are chemical factories, and a few days out of the month, it's like someone tampered with the mix, sending us on a bad trip that lasts for days.
Yesterday, I had a very new experience with my own bad trip. I'm attributing it to all of the mantras & intention around balancing my inner masculine & feminine (at the chemical level, testosterone & estrogen/progestrone). I was feeling quite agitated (not at anyone in particular, luckily!). Throughout the day, I was able to maintain a clear witness state and use the agitation to my advantage to be extremely productive!
Since I viewed the agitation as pure energy, not something I needed to fix or indulge in, I was able to appreciate the quality of the energy as "that which acts" (i.e. "raja" in Sanskrit, vs. "tamas" - that which obscures, or "sattwa" - that which manifests) The SHRIM mantra is helping me understand the nature of energy in the universe; the whole universe is composed of various combinations of rajas, tamas, & sattwa. And the "I" that I truly am is beyond all that...
If I can successfully maintain this budding mastery, and teach other women to do the same, I foresee much more in the way of marital harmony in our culture of quick hook-ups, short-term relationships, and over 50% divorce rate! ;)
The key is to establish oneself in the eternal presence of the soul.
