you don't have to have pain be a part of your period forever. there is a way out, it would be my pleasure to help if you're open to it. I use an effective and holistic method. In 90 days or less we can get rid of your cramps and PMS, medical diagnosis be damned...i did it and have helped many others do it, you are not alone and you no longer have to suffer to be a woman.

Really great, really important. Thank you. I always thought I had PMDD, I used to really struggle with deep anger, sadness, and emptiness in my Autumn. I realized it was just like I was grieving. And I do grieve, the loss of potential life, and everything that I had dreamed and planned to do throughout the month that seems lost, and I don't handle grief well. So when I started thinking about it like that and met it with compassion rather than resistance, I really got a better handle on my emotions. Now, the way you describe it adds even more layers of understanding, so I am really so happy, that I can say "In my Autumn" rather than "the week before I get my period" it's really brilliant. Thank you for such a wonderful presentation and performance, your voice is lovely.
Dear Emily, I felt it's the right word I can use to describe my feeling after reading your comment. you just out into word what I feel. thinks for sharing your thoughts and feelings❤
I feel that menstruation is literally like a wound not in a way where you treat it as something smaller but instead something to nurture and care for, it makes way for something new and beautiful 🤍 thank you Lucy
It’s sad that only now in my early 30s I’m learning about this. I knew the bare minimum about my period, but now I can understand it and appreciate it and harness its power. Love it ❤️
My first day of period and as a 24yr old who has had irregular periods all through,i have never taken this education serious. Now on my journey to self improvement,i realize every aspect of what i am is important .
As somebody who practices witchcraft, we often use our periods to manifest. Lots of powerful energy in our bodies. So we harness it to to have more success in our spells/manifestations
This is a fantastic talk and should be presented in early educaton before young ladies experience their menstral cycle, to help give them better understaning and prepare them to take proper care of their health.. On the other hand, not every female can plan their life/work life around their cycle. We need to spread cyclical awarness in the work force!
what fun!! I am so raising my hand with you on this. I devoted an online course to teaching others how to harness the power of their period and when we work with it--no more cramps, no more PMS. It is so much fun to be the queen of the world during menstruation, the warrior during follicular, Aphrodite during luteal part I, and Athena during Luteal part II. There are so many solutions ready to land if we would just use our cycles!!! Thank you for this heartfelt way to understand the phases.
So upsetting that I am just hearing about this wonderful perspective now at the age of 35. How amazing and beneficial this kind of feminine education would have been at 13. And here we are, all us women, thinking there is “something wrong” because our cycle affects our hormones… and all Doctors do to “correct” things is give us “birth control” to further distance ourselves from our natural truth and seasons. Such a dysfunctional and vicious cycle. So happy I know this now and Can pass it on to my 2 daughters in a timely fashion. ♥️🙏
Whilst this is really beautiful and I hope it’s inspiring for a lot of people, I can’t say I resonate. I’ve always struggled with an immense sense of dysphoria regarding the function of AFAB people’s reproductive systems, and how we’re told by society that we should embrace this aspect of our bodies. My reproductive system, and therefore my menstrual cycle, has only ever represented physical and psychological pain for me. It makes me feel disconnected from myself and my identity.
Who can actually afford to rest for 5 days and deal with their plummeting horomones for another 5 days? I sure cant. Those 10 days wreck everything I’ve spend building for the other 20.
It's absolutely unfathomable to me to only have seven days of any of these. I get ten to twelve-day periods, MAYBE a week of feeling like a human being, and then, the rest of the time, crippling emotional PMS. I don't care about the physical stuff, even when the cramps are bad enough to make me vomit, which they are sometimes. It's the emotional stuff. I just want to be TOTALLY alone for days and days on end, I can't sleep, I can just sit and stare at nothing for hours, I'm slow, I'm ravenous for sugar, I'm bored, I'm lonely despite not wanting anyone near me, I'm anxious to the point of looking over my shoulder and listening at doors, and scream and I cry at NOTHING, it's INSANE how bad it is. Oh, and I only have one ovary. I'm also not able to go on birth control or any kind of antidepressant because I have a heart condition. My gynaecologist told me I'm lucky: some women are homicidal or suicidal. And THAT'S where she left it. I waited for over a year to see her, to beg for ANYTHING she could do, and she told me all the mood-improving "supplements" are just placebos. And THAT'S where she left it.
Maybe this will help All organic 3 in 1 . bananas/ dark chocolate/ full milk Or Organ meat, chicken liver is the easiest, maybe stuffed in meatballs, if taste is difficult And herb teas Camomile/ shepherd purse / BlackBerry leaf etc.etc.etc. With or without raw honey And last organic pads and tampons. Wishing you cramp free periods, It's possible......bye
Women being denigrated for century's for their menstruation and now you decide to de center women from the discussion by saying "any one who menstruate" absolutely ridiculous.
I just watched this (on my period) and I kind of found it interesting and useful but at the same time it feels like it wasn't as informative as i thought, it's much more abstract. I didn't get what are you supposed to harness?
I guess it's harnessing the information that you have if you are aware of what your cycle is like for you. Making the best choices according to your cycle, where you can. When you are in the spring/summer phase, choose to do something productive/to contribute. Harness the autumn/winter phase by nurturing or resting yourself so you are in the best state possible.
this made me giggle and cry from pride of being a woman as i bleed and die from pain ❤️

red raspberry leaf tea, drink a cup a day will help with pms and bleeding time.
It’s sad that only now in my early 30s I’m learning about this. I knew the bare minimum about my period, but now I can understand it and appreciate it and harness its power. Love it ❤️
Same here
I’m pushing 30 as well, and have only now recognized the 4 week process.
me too
Same thing here, you're not alone ! Now we know ! :)
I’m 47 and just learning!
Props to the dude with the tablet drawing everything in time with her talking

How do you do it ?
Jesus loves you seek him ❤
That one person who shouts "woooo!" After she says "it's time we harness menstrual power".
At home I literally did the same thing it was a great talk
yes! this is so good!

Beautiful way of helping us to understand ourselves a little bit more, more women’s health teds please!

I cried by the song when she screen "it's in my blood, I won't feel shame"
Needs to be played in schools! ❤
Thank you sister!! This is so hard to do living in a mans world
Truth is, it’s a women’s world too.
@@natalieohlsson7777 its really not

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I always check my calendar before I commit to a big event or adventure to make sure I'm not in fall or winter. This is great!! Thank you
Listening to the song in the end while on my period makes me cry 😭
Yessss! Can we have all 9-12 year old girls AND boys watch this?
This video remains one of my favorite TED talks!

That’s is why women rule

@LJ, the way even Canadian medicine is going right now, it would probably take me about 100 years.
5 days? Lucky her.
@Zuzanna Rey when I did bleed it was 7 days like clockwork and a short cycle 28 days.
where can I find the song at the end? Was really inspiring. thank you
how period is nothing but ur body pushing out a very small egg u may cause pain
I feel it by Lucy Peach on Google Play Music! Might be on other platforms but idk, I just typed in her name and found it(:

She botted the god damn comments
I have only one question: who the heck is that dude just sitting there on stage not giving a sh*t??
Patriarchy
He is the illustrator. Whatever you saw being drawn on the screen was by him. :)
He's the hubby and I think he is being supportive by doing fabulous drawings ;)
🤭🤢🤮
Bloke what
@@lucylousie8512 i'm sure he means periods
then we can almost guarantee that he doesn't have a girlfriend then
Or he’s a child
he‘s jalous
is her hat made out of menstrual blood?
Probably
What 🐂💩
