I cried when you talked about having a calmer, watery energy. I used to feel so ashamed that I wasn’t as firey as others…thank you for expressing that.
Hi Natalie ✨ So lovely to connect with you. Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge? Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level. ❤️ Andi
This is amazing, I'm on my moon right now and I have been observing my cycle deeply for the past 3 years. Last night the feelings that emerged to me were about not having any meaningful sisterhood relationships right now and I went deep into my wounds with the women in my life, like my mom, my sister, my old best friend that decided to pull away. So I just felt extremely lonely and lacking in healthy feminine energy around me. For now the only solution I can think of is being with myself and filling my own cup, acting like my own best friend and also watching female youtubers that I connect with. Weirdly, you posted this video today. I feel grateful
synchronistically in the exact same phase, my oldest friend stopped speaking with me 5 months ago and last night i was, even traumatically arranging her gifts/items given over the years to be given away to charity as source was directing me to and so i've been a draught of meaningful intimate sisterhood lately
I’m 66 yr old. This video was a blast! Memories of how our bodies influence our moods and activities. Exploring past suffering rather than running from it - impressive!
It's so crazy how we are taught to work against our bodies as women. This video was amazing to learn from, thank you so much for sharing! I wish this was more common knowledge. 💜
Really relate to the idea of using your natural voice rather than what you perceive others want your voice to be. I'm studying speech-language pathology and in our voice class we talked about how it can lead to damaging habits to the vocal folds to not be in within the vocal folds natural range. Every voice is unique and we should celebrate that!
I'm autistic and I cannot help but use different voices for different situations. It's like subconscious form of masking. Sometimes I copy the person, if it's a close friend. When I was younger if I was with my sister, you couldn't tell our voices apart. If I was with my bff (who sounds very different from my sister) you couldn't tell our voices apart. I never noticed I was doing it, but it was like I was matching their pitch and cadence. Now in my mid 30s I just have my voice with my husband, a friends and family voice, my work voice, and my calling customer service voice. My husband is from a different country and has his own verbal quirks, and we've almost developed our own "accent" that we both use only with each other. I never thought about how strange it was until his mother mentioned it. 😂 I also speak 4 languages, plus another dialect of one. English: American (mom's American Midwestern) and British (my dad's British), French, Spanish, and Kannada (my husband's native language). I also learned some Latin in my medical terminology class. French and Spanish are similar to each other and even English to an extent so I feel I use a similar tone of voice with those 3 but Kannada is extremely different and I have a much higher voice when I speak it. I find it fascinating how language and even accents can make the same person sound so different!
I know this is meant for females but as a male im here to learn for my future girlfriend or wife. Edit: wow you guys are so nice! Im not a perfect man im very flawed but i will try my best! Love yall ❤
Following our cycle is so important. I kind of had to figure it all out because my highs and lows were so intense that people thought I was bipolar haha. But it amazes me that so many women don’t even notice the different seasons of their cycle. It’s a shame we don’t get any of this taught in school. It would have saved me a lot of doubting my own sanity.
hitomi radiates this special warmth from each video she uploads, I feel like she’s giving me the sweetest and most comforting hug whenever I watch her videos 🤍
I, at 22 years old, just started journaling my emotions during my cycle because I started to noticed the cyclical ups and downs in my emotions when rereading my journal entries from throughout the years. I am so excited to learn more deeply about the science of this information. I have been in relationships that have made me question my emotional sanity which was another instigator to me wanting to self document. I’m no longer in that relationship and I now I can truly feel peace with myself and what i used to think was emotional “instability”. I now have so much mercy for myself and a greater understanding of who i am and what i feel when i exist each day. ❤
Hitomi you‘re an angel, a literal angel. Your vulnerability and the sharing of your childhood helps me understand my feelings so much deeper and I don‘t feel shame about them anymore. Or about being „sensitive“ 💜 it‘s beautiful to feel a lot, for every being in the universe
Yes, infradian rhythm Magic! ✨ To me it's crazy how we're not taught the truth about the power of all that's within our bodies. Our wombs are said to be the 'first brain' yet we get so caught up in logic we forget to rejoice in her wisdom 🪷 Personally I use my cycle to enhance my intuition and creatively develop my own self embodiment practices. I think this video is so full of gems, thank you for sharing your light Hitomi 🧡✨
Thank you for speaking about social anxiety. I always feel the pressure of matching other people’s energy and I get so tired of it. I definitely will try to remain myself as you explained! ✨
Not sure how or why this came up randomly on my feed but I'm glad it did. I wish I could be surrounded by people like her. Seeing the little clips of her and her friends I can tell they have a good relationship with each other. I kinda wanted to cry lol
I express my energy and excitement SO similarly to you (i.e. not WAY UP HERE but more quietly and grounded). Sometimes I feel like other people perceive me as boring or being indifferent because I'm not as UP HERE as them - but this was a nice reminder that I don't have to perform any certain way for others to express my love and energy.
Something I have always appreciated about your videos is that you are so open in a beautiful way. You are vulnerable about sex and sexuality, periods, emotions, and personal thoughts in a way that many of us are afraid of being. I feel like when I watch you, you are truly authentically yourself. I just think that is so beautiful. Many of the thoughts you shared about traumatic/difficult things coming up around your cycle really hit home for me in a way I've never experienced before. Thanks for being you and thank you for sharing you with the world!
I just stumbled upon your video, and I wanted to thank you for talking about not having to put on a show or match other people’s energy if it doesn’t feel natural to you. I struggle with this DEEPLY, and I feel like it depletes all of my energy. You have encouraged me to drop the act and be more myself in all situations ♥️✌🏻
Oh girll at 7:00 you have me cryingg, I understand and thank you for talking about that openly. I am amazed at how well you dive into taking care of yourself and it’s so beautiful and inspirational and thank you!!! I love your videos
I’m 28 and becoming much more intune with my cycle and I can ride the wave more smoothly… I wish I knew this information when I was 21 and SO hormonal..
These are the types of conversations I want to have with others but the people I have tried with don’t want to think deeply at all💔 nonetheless watching these videos makes me feel like I’ve had them, so beautiful ty🫶🏼🌞🌞🌞
I feel this thing about trying to match somebody else's energy so hard and it always exhausts me but I keep catching myself doing it... I want to become truly comfortable with who I am and your videos ease my mind and push me in that direction which is neat ❤
Hitomi, you are such a special and strong being, and I am infinitely grateful to be able to learn from you and your lessons. You have been (and will continue to be) such a vital part in my journey of discovering my spirituality. Never forget that you are beyond worthy ❤
I’m glad you brought attention to this. I feel like a lot of women don’t really start paying attention to this until they are partnered or have children
Htomi when I see your physical appearance, you are beautiful but what is more compelling to me is the warmth in you. I’m not sure how to describe it exactly but the gentleness of your voice and the warm presence of how you hold yourself. You beauty is clear but the energy is something so much deeper, hope you’re having a wonderful day
I experienced the exact same feelings of grief and almost despair after leaving a hangout or sleepover with friends in my tween/teen years. The jealousy, the sadness, all of it. It really expands my awareness when I have these instances of thinking I'm the only one that experienced something but it turns out someone else has gone through the same experience and that exact feeling. I remember always being so so excited for sleepovers but knowing I would have to deal with the sadness/disappointing return to my actual life as a cost. And this is something I still deal with too. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this I feel less alone
5:05 can we just appreciate how beautiful this shot is ? The colors, the quality, and the fact Hitomi is barefaced and being vulnerable… I really appreciate it.
This is so sincere and geniune. You summarize so much I've learned from my nutrition and exercise science classes - so much connections in real life practice. You are amazing 🥰
I relate so much to your upbringing, the way you described it felt like it could have been me who said that. My family home was also really scattered and chaotic, no food in the fridge, not being close with eachother and so on, whenever someone came over I felt so embarrased. Literally word for word it is so familiar, it's strange to hear you talk about it even because it suddenly feels very real, like I can't get away with the ''oh it was okay others had it worse'' thinking. It is very encouraging to see someone with a similar background being this loving and radiant and making something beautiful out of their life! you inspire me
Hi makemacken✨ So lovely to connect with you. Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge? Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level. ❤️ Andi
Hitomi I appreciate your existence so much. Your knowledge, wisdom and vulnerability are so open and easy to connect with and relate to. Grateful for you! - Jewel
I’m so glad you decided to talk about this, because Ive felt the same outsider, “other” feeling and that “party is over feeling” and I feel so ashamed for it. There were many times I knew I need to be alone but still chose not to be because my reality was so triggering and I know that still affects me to this day bcs I feel that same fear and panic when I know I’m returning back to my reality at the end of the night. It feels good to know I’m not the only one carrying that pain so thank you. ❤
Dear Hitomi, I am on my moon right now and feeling the warmth of your understanding and honesty welling up within me. It is deeply healing to hear you speak about our cycle free from shame or judgement. We have different life experiences but I feel so seen by you. Love, Ava
The moment you took to talk about your reflection on your feelings connected with your childhood and not needing to force an unnatural emotions was absolutely amazing. I relate to your way of thinking, how you feel, thank you for sharing I felt understood and like it was a conversation instead of a video. :)
Wow. I relate so much to your words about your childhood, especially those feelings in the context of your friends who clearly had a very different experience. Know that you’re not alone in working through these things still, and you are helping others by talking about it. Thank you for your vulnerability. This entire video was so lovely. 💜
GIRL you made me tear up.... thank you for sharing and pls never stop. I literally wannna be your friend thank you for your authenticity and everything you talked about.
I can recommend the book „period power“ from the author maisie hill! It‘s an AMAZING book that gives so much inside on the seasons of our cycle and it speaks about deficiencies, illnesses etc that can affect our menstrual cycle and vice versa. It also talks about meno pause and basically includes EVERYONE with a womb that menstruates! It‘s really a great book that helped me get on the healing path regarding my menstruation and this video adds the cherry on top. Thank you sm for sharing Hitomi!
Thank you for sharing. Community is very important because I thought every once a month I was going crazy because stuff would come up. That’s when I was so vulnerable to old emotions and old memories. Or I’d want to be alone, or I’d want more rest or I’d crave things I don’t even eat anymore. The human experience was just a lot every month. But it’s good to know I’m not going crazy and it’s because I’m intuitive and a bit more sensitive than others.
I highly recommend you and everyone to read ‘Wild Power’ by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie W. It’s a must-read for anyone who is into learning about Menstrual Cycle Awareness ❤❤❤
You're like a fluffy bubble, everything here is so calming to watch...I'm a final year med student applying to jobs and everything feels like go go go. So glad I found this beautiful video.
The way you describe emotions and relationships with such eloquence helps me make sense of things that I couldn’t understand for myself, thank you!! xx
I started my cycle yesterday and I’m going salsa dancing tonight , I’m not letting this emotions get to me ! I asked the most high for energy and it gave it to me ✊🏽
I didn't know what to expect when I clicked this, but I just want to say that I relate SO MUCH to your vlog talking about how your family was different than others, and others would be surprised that your parents didn't do certain things for/with you... and also the 'party is over' feeling. I am in my 30s now and I still have this feeling regularly when something fun or happy ends. I have been guilty of trying to keep it going because I don't want to go back to 'normal' life and reality... It's so refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who feels this heavy feeling, so thank you for sharing with us. I wish you all the best.
Hi Julie ✨ So lovely to connect with you. Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge? Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level. ❤️ Andi
I’ve just recently started to learn about the cycles and try to sync my life to them, and even just doing it for a couple months I already notice a change as well as the ability to give myself grace for not being able to show up as energetically Learning about the seeds we should be eating during different parts of our cycle is new to me, thank you for sharing! .
Hi Elizabeth ✨ So lovely to connect with you. Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge? Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level. ❤️ Andi
Not gonna lie. I’m very emotional today because of my period about to start and this made me cry in a feel good way. I am so glad this came across my timeline
Wow I really needed to hear that I've been so hard on myself for not being very expressive with how I respond I also have a very calm energy and see I think it's because I really enjoy people who are all up and firey so I feel the need to be like that to get their approval but it's just not me. It's okay to just let myself breathe
So ironic haha, I was looking at your menstruation rituals on Tuesday because I’ve been on my moon this week and you literally just uploaded this 😂 Perfect timing, thank you❤
im a guy andd just clicked because of the breathtaking environment your home is surrounded by. 100% envious! i hope to own a home surrounded with nature and natural life 🙏
Dear Hitomi, I'm in my starts of 20s and I know about the changes of hormones and everything during menstruation thanks to my exams but I never dwell in such a way. Couple of months before I'm seen drastic changes in my moods during my periods but I didn't knew how to help myself. My bf was being really helpful but pmsing always made me feel bad for him and myself. I'm really glad and delighted that you showed me ways I can take care of myself more and in such a loving way. I really wish to have a elder like you around ❤ thank you ☺️
i loved when you talked about being a calm person. i'm an introverted person myself and i very often felt not good enough because of that. i often wished to be an extrovert and energetic like a lot of people. but now i accepted myself and even love being an introvert, having my own bubble, having a lot of passions, being a good listener, empathic, creative,...
I just love this I have pcos so when my period comes I feel all over the place but this helped me to accept the process and understanding that it’s okay to be tired or upset ❤❤❤
this video literally OPEN MY EYES it is very informative and relaxing and peaceful THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THIS 💗🌞 I feel so grateful for just found it, thanks again 💐💗
Your personality is very attractive...I'm a lone walker on the path of life but you talk what I love to hear reality and relaxation...my hand is open in this life till I'm gone but now days I smile ...thank you again
I relate so strongly to your childhood experience of feeling shame in relation to your background - specifically being sent on trip being unprepared and without money. My parents just pawned me off to other families and I still feel the pain of feeling like a burden, though yes, it was a bittersweet experience to see how functional families operated.
I feel so inspired hearing you speak about not having to match other people's energy. I'm also a really calm and mellow person, but I grew up with a lot of high-energy friends which would make me feel shameful of my natural disposition. I still feel that way now sometimes, so thank you for that gentle reminder
Thank you so much for sharing your raw authentic self in this way I can relate to a lot of the struggles you had in your mind and felt so understood and connected while listening to you. You are such a beautiful soul Hitomi I send you so much love and good energy 🙏🏻❤🌻 (+ same for everyone who reads this ♡)
When you talk about voice and tone and matching/not matching peoples energy I relate to that sooooo much. I’m not a hype over the top person (I appreciate those who are though) and it’s so taxing to try and match that energy and it doesn’t feel authentic to me and I feel like I’m lying to myself and my friends when I do it . 💖
This video was amazing I discovered so much that I feel ashamed as a woman I did not know. Towards a better tomorrow and adjusting my foods based on my cycle ✨
my goal this week is to not match energy if it is not authentic, of me or the situation. you are wonderful, thank you for such a video.. like substance for women finally. not just make up and clothes but what makes us really us, women, wonderful creatures. thank you soo soo much, i had no problem letting my young daughters listen to this as i did... i didnt have to scramble to switch because of vulgarity or anything. keep going girl
I relate so much to how you let your emotions flow in such a feminine and strong way. It’s kind off indescribable until you let yourself feel it. Finding peace in yourself is an intense and beautiful journey of healing, that can have lot’s of darkness too and I’m so grateful to see other women going through the same kind off awakening. So thank you for documenting and sharing this process ♥️
Girl, I have been doing this for the past year and honestly I realized it’s like having a mercury retrograde once a month. Just a week a month to go deep within.
yeahh i’ve noticed it’s like going thru a mini mercury retrograde the week bf my cycle starts 🌝 i’m going thru it rn during an actual mercury retrograde too lmao pray for me
@@Julia-be1zd girl I am praying. I had my period the first week of mercury retrograde and for some reason this has been such a hard mercury retrograde. But all a blessing, taking all deep dives within 🧡
@@littleoneadventures this mercury retrograde came for me like i got broken up with, i restarted school, i got sick, my period came, my phone broke like wow mercury but also why
The info I would have loved to have had....oh, so many years ago. So grateful that you are explaining these phases. Our bodies are magical, intuitive, and strong!!
Thanks so much again for an amazing vid, Hitomi. I genuinely enjoy your content but this video especially helped me out. Since I got a hormonal IUD inserted I tried to identify all the phases of my cycle (since I don't physically bleed anymore due to the contraceptive) I felt ashamed but I have been working on this and convincing myself that I still have a cycle and it's valid that it's not the same as other women. As I said, thank you so much, this actually inspired me
I'm so glad I found this! Have a lot of anxiety around social situations and totally felt you with the idea of making myself go out and socialize and really love how you pointed out. You don't have to match other people's energy and sometimes you really quick with someone and you want to be friends but just accepting that maybe not at this time in your life and that's me too. We can recognize each other as we intersect in life and also allow for the flow of being to and from and through us.
Hitomi ! I’ve been struggling with pmdd so this video is very very appreciated as I’ve been trying to heal naturally & was very interested to learn about seed cycling. Happy to learn from you always. Thank you💚
As someone who suffers from PMDD I'm so glad to come across your wisdom. Thank You kindly I do NOT have a support system especially women. Thank you for sharing this
I love how you said you’re ‘calm and watery’ and sometimes wish you could be at the higher level. I feel the total opposite - I’m the ‘firey’ one and I always wish I could be more calm, lol. Also, that means you’re a true water sign 🥰
Came across your video randomly and subscribed! So much of what you said resonates with me. Yay to being our true authentic selves, speaking your true voice and not performing energy 🤗
I've had the same childhood experiences. It was mortifying to be so poor and neglected. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! It shows me that there were others like me too.
woahh this video was so informative thanks for stringing all the info to digestable bites :)) I'm in autumn right now hoping that winter can come a little faster so that the pms will subside sigh but also trying to make space for it and to just observe instead of hoping for something else
I’ve watched this video often during my moon cycle mostly because it’s comforting, I feel seen and walk away with a deeper understanding of my body. Thank you for your content ❤
bleeding one month out of the week resonates with me at a deep level :P
😂😂😂
I was wondering if anyone else caught that! lol
@@stardragon84 but some women with endrometriosis they can bleed for that long
Yes absolutely:( I think she didn’t mean that for her experience.
@@layladarby1994 nobody can bleed for a month in the space of a week 😂
I cried when you talked about having a calmer, watery energy. I used to feel so ashamed that I wasn’t as firey as others…thank you for expressing that.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you actually CRIED? 💀💀 like actually? or r u just exaggerating
Apparently that's why the fire type of yoga is really not advised to women when menstruating
@@ihdoioifjosijfosofds1964 what if they did cry? Why are you making fun of them for having emotions, and feeling heard//relating to her.
Same here ❤ it was validating
Can’t believe this kind of content is free. Absolutely amazing perspective and so so fun to learn this ✨💗

I feel this thing about trying to match somebody else's energy so hard and it always exhausts me but I keep catching myself doing it... I want to become truly comfortable with who I am and your videos ease my mind and push me in that direction which is neat ❤
Hitomi, you are such a special and strong being, and I am infinitely grateful to be able to learn from you and your lessons. You have been (and will continue to be) such a vital part in my journey of discovering my spirituality. Never forget that you are beyond worthy ❤
I’m glad you brought attention to this. I feel like a lot of women don’t really start paying attention to this until they are partnered or have children
What is partnered mean? Like lesbian?
What does* partnered mean I meant sorry
This is so timely… I literally just researched this after checking out your start of cycle days and care! We’re aligned ☀️☘️
I was doing the same 💕🫢
Htomi when I see your physical appearance, you are beautiful but what is more compelling to me is the warmth in you. I’m not sure how to describe it exactly but the gentleness of your voice and the warm presence of how you hold yourself. You beauty is clear but the energy is something so much deeper, hope you’re having a wonderful day
As someone whos energy is normally a little more "up there", i REALLY appreciate having people who are calmer by nature. Its a great balance
I experienced the exact same feelings of grief and almost despair after leaving a hangout or sleepover with friends in my tween/teen years. The jealousy, the sadness, all of it. It really expands my awareness when I have these instances of thinking I'm the only one that experienced something but it turns out someone else has gone through the same experience and that exact feeling. I remember always being so so excited for sleepovers but knowing I would have to deal with the sadness/disappointing return to my actual life as a cost. And this is something I still deal with too. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this I feel less alone
5:05 can we just appreciate how beautiful this shot is ? The colors, the quality, and the fact Hitomi is barefaced and being vulnerable… I really appreciate it.
yet if a man was this vulnerable you would spit in his face and be disgusted 😂😂
@@Danuxsy why are you bringing up men ? This is about Hitomi.
@@bubbles2085 🤢🤢🤮🤮
This is so sincere and geniune. You summarize so much I've learned from my nutrition and exercise science classes - so much connections in real life practice.
You are amazing
🥰
I relate so much to your upbringing, the way you described it felt like it could have been me who said that. My family home was also really scattered and chaotic, no food in the fridge, not being close with eachother and so on, whenever someone came over I felt so embarrased. Literally word for word it is so familiar, it's strange to hear you talk about it even because it suddenly feels very real, like I can't get away with the ''oh it was okay others had it worse'' thinking. It is very encouraging to see someone with a similar background being this loving and radiant and making something beautiful out of their life! you inspire me
Me too! But I dont know how to get past this heavy energy
I’ve been dealing with PMDD and this is such an incredible resource!!! Already know I’m gonna watch again to take notes, thank you so much Hitomi 😭💞
Hi makemacken✨ So lovely to connect with you.
Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge?
Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level.
❤️ Andi
Hitomi I appreciate your existence so much. Your knowledge, wisdom and vulnerability are so open and easy to connect with and relate to. Grateful for you!

I’m so glad you decided to talk about this, because Ive felt the same outsider, “other” feeling and that “party is over feeling” and I feel so ashamed for it. There were many times I knew I need to be alone but still chose not to be because my reality was so triggering and I know that still affects me to this day bcs I feel that same fear and panic when I know I’m returning back to my reality at the end of the night. It feels good to know I’m not the only one carrying that pain so thank you. ❤
Hi can I help you talk to me
This is by far my favorite video I’ve watched on here. So down to earth, honest, and just pure genuine in every word that was spoken. ❤
0:03 bleeding one month out of the week love it💜
Dear Hitomi, I am on my moon right now and feeling the warmth of your understanding and honesty welling up within me. It is deeply healing to hear you speak about our cycle free from shame or judgement. We have different life experiences but I feel so seen by you. Love, Ava
The moment you took to talk about your reflection on your feelings connected with your childhood and not needing to force an unnatural emotions was absolutely amazing. I relate to your way of thinking, how you feel, thank you for sharing I felt understood and like it was a conversation instead of a video. :)
Wow. I relate so much to your words about your childhood, especially those feelings in the context of your friends who clearly had a very different experience. Know that you’re not alone in working through these things still, and you are helping others by talking about it. Thank you for your vulnerability. This entire video was so lovely. 💜
GIRL you made me tear up.... thank you for sharing and pls never stop. I literally wannna be your friend thank you for your authenticity and everything you talked about.
I can recommend the book „period power“ from the author maisie hill! It‘s an AMAZING book that gives so much inside on the seasons of our cycle and it speaks about deficiencies, illnesses etc that can affect our menstrual cycle and vice versa. It also talks about meno pause and basically includes EVERYONE with a womb that menstruates! It‘s really a great book that helped me get on the healing path regarding my menstruation and this video adds the cherry on top. Thank you sm for sharing Hitomi!
what a beautiful concept
You just being who you are is actually medicine.. 💗💗
Thank you for sharing. Community is very important because I thought every once a month I was going crazy because stuff would come up. That’s when I was so vulnerable to old emotions and old memories. Or I’d want to be alone, or I’d want more rest or I’d crave things I don’t even eat anymore. The human experience was just a lot every month. But it’s good to know I’m not going crazy and it’s because I’m intuitive and a bit more sensitive than others.
I highly recommend you and everyone to read ‘Wild Power’ by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie W. It’s a must-read for anyone who is into learning about Menstrual Cycle Awareness ❤❤❤
You're like a fluffy bubble, everything here is so calming to watch...I'm a final year med student applying to jobs and everything feels like go go go. So glad I found this beautiful video.
The way you describe emotions and relationships with such eloquence helps me make sense of things that I couldn’t understand for myself, thank you!! xx
I started my cycle yesterday and I’m going salsa dancing tonight , I’m not letting this emotions get to me ! I asked the most high for energy and it gave it to me ✊🏽
I didn't know what to expect when I clicked this, but I just want to say that I relate SO MUCH to your vlog talking about how your family was different than others, and others would be surprised that your parents didn't do certain things for/with you... and also the 'party is over' feeling. I am in my 30s now and I still have this feeling regularly when something fun or happy ends. I have been guilty of trying to keep it going because I don't want to go back to 'normal' life and reality... It's so refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who feels this heavy feeling, so thank you for sharing with us. I wish you all the best.
Hi Julie ✨ So lovely to connect with you.

I’ve just recently started to learn about the cycles and try to sync my life to them, and even just doing it for a couple months I already notice a change as well as the ability to give myself grace for not being able to show up as energetically
Learning about the seeds we should be eating during different parts of our cycle is new to me, thank you for sharing! .

The authentic way you share your thoughts and who you are is so powerful. Thank you so much
Not gonna lie. I’m very emotional today because of my period about to start and this made me cry in a feel good way. I am so glad this came across my timeline
Wow I really needed to hear that I've been so hard on myself for not being very expressive with how I respond I also have a very calm energy and see I think it's because I really enjoy people who are all up and firey so I feel the need to be like that to get their approval but it's just not me. It's okay to just let myself breathe
i love this video. “you being who you naturally are is actually medicine”. needed to hear those words thank u !!!!
So ironic haha, I was looking at your menstruation rituals on Tuesday because I’ve been on my moon this week and you literally just uploaded this 😂 Perfect timing, thank you❤
im a guy andd just clicked because of the breathtaking environment your home is surrounded by. 100% envious! i hope to own a home surrounded with nature and natural life 🙏
Dear Hitomi, I'm in my starts of 20s and I know about the changes of hormones and everything during menstruation thanks to my exams but I never dwell in such a way. Couple of months before I'm seen drastic changes in my moods during my periods but I didn't knew how to help myself. My bf was being really helpful but pmsing always made me feel bad for him and myself. I'm really glad and delighted that you showed me ways I can take care of myself more and in such a loving way. I really wish to have a elder like you around ❤ thank you ☺️
Hu😮
oh, you're so comforting. i love the energy of your tribe.
i loved when you talked about being a calm person. i'm an introverted person myself and i very often felt not good enough because of that. i often wished to be an extrovert and energetic like a lot of people. but now i accepted myself and even love being an introvert, having my own bubble, having a lot of passions, being a good listener, empathic, creative,...
I love how open and loving she’s explaining all of this. This video really made me feel good about myself :3
11:46 is so freaking sweet. Did you guys have someone read to you on a carpet like when we were kids?! I love that. So good for inner child healing.
I just love this I have pcos so when my period comes I feel all over the place but this helped me to accept the process and understanding that it’s okay to be tired or upset ❤❤❤
this video literally OPEN MY EYES it is very informative and relaxing and peaceful THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THIS 💗🌞 I feel so grateful for just found it, thanks again 💐💗
Your personality is very attractive...I'm a lone walker on the path of life but you talk what I love to hear reality and relaxation...my hand is open in this life till I'm gone but now days I smile ...thank you again
I hope you find someone who resonates with your soul.
I can't express how grateful I am for this in simple words, thank you mama ❤️💕💕💕🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I relate so strongly to your childhood experience of feeling shame in relation to your background - specifically being sent on trip being unprepared and without money. My parents just pawned me off to other families and I still feel the pain of feeling like a burden, though yes, it was a bittersweet experience to see how functional families operated.
you’re going to be an amazing mom!
I feel so inspired hearing you speak about not having to match other people's energy. I'm also a really calm and mellow person, but I grew up with a lot of high-energy friends which would make me feel shameful of my natural disposition. I still feel that way now sometimes, so thank you for that gentle reminder
Thank you so much for sharing your raw authentic self in this way I can relate to a lot of the struggles you had in your mind and felt so understood and connected while listening to you. You are such a beautiful soul Hitomi I send you so much love and good energy 🙏🏻❤🌻 (+ same for everyone who reads this ♡)
Hi😮
omg yes, when you talked about having a calmer energy compared to your friends i have never related to something more
When you talk about voice and tone and matching/not matching peoples energy I relate to that sooooo much. I’m not a hype over the top person (I appreciate those who are though) and it’s so taxing to try and match that energy and it doesn’t feel authentic to me and I feel like I’m lying to myself and my friends when I do it . 💖
Every woman should know this, thanks for sharing this beautiful video 😍
This video was amazing I discovered so much that I feel ashamed as a woman I did not know. Towards a better tomorrow and adjusting my foods based on my cycle ✨
Yes! Can we pls stop pop culture from hating on something so beautiful, embrace being a woman :) we are so powerful
such a beautiful, inspiring and vulnerable video. thank you for this, Hitomi 💗
my goal this week is to not match energy if it is not authentic, of me or the situation. you are wonderful, thank you for such a video.. like substance for women finally. not just make up and clothes but what makes us really us, women, wonderful creatures. thank you soo soo much, i had no problem letting my young daughters listen to this as i did... i didnt have to scramble to switch because of vulgarity or anything. keep going girl
I needed this. Recently started my moon after two months of not having one. I’ve been emotionally overwhelmed. Thank you Hitomi
I relate so much to how you let your emotions flow in such a feminine and strong way. It’s kind off indescribable until you let yourself feel it. Finding peace in yourself is an intense and beautiful journey of healing, that can have lot’s of darkness too and I’m so grateful to see other women going through the same kind off awakening. So thank you for documenting and sharing this process ♥️
thank you for being so vulnerable with us and yourself
Hitomi, I just want to give you a big virtual hug. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness
Girl, I have been doing this for the past year and honestly I realized it’s like having a mercury retrograde once a month. Just a week a month to go deep within.
yeahh i’ve noticed it’s like going thru a mini mercury retrograde the week bf my cycle starts 🌝 i’m going thru it rn during an actual mercury retrograde too lmao pray for me
@@Julia-be1zd girl I am praying. I had my period the first week of mercury retrograde and for some reason this has been such a hard mercury retrograde. But all a blessing, taking all deep dives within 🧡
@@littleoneadventures this mercury retrograde came for me like i got broken up with, i restarted school, i got sick, my period came, my phone broke like wow mercury but also why
The info I would have loved to have had....oh, so many years ago. So grateful that you are explaining these phases. Our bodies are magical, intuitive, and strong!!
Thanks so much again for an amazing vid, Hitomi. I genuinely enjoy your content but this video especially helped me out. Since I got a hormonal IUD inserted I tried to identify all the phases of my cycle (since I don't physically bleed anymore due to the contraceptive) I felt ashamed but I have been working on this and convincing myself that I still have a cycle and it's valid that it's not the same as other women. As I said, thank you so much, this actually inspired me
Hi😢
I'm so glad I found this! Have a lot of anxiety around social situations and totally felt you with the idea of making myself go out and socialize and really love how you pointed out. You don't have to match other people's energy and sometimes you really quick with someone and you want to be friends but just accepting that maybe not at this time in your life and that's me too. We can recognize each other as we intersect in life and also allow for the flow of being to and from and through us.
Hi😊😅
Hitomi ! I’ve been struggling with pmdd so this video is very very appreciated as I’ve been trying to heal naturally & was very interested to learn about seed cycling. Happy to learn from you always. Thank you💚
As someone who suffers from PMDD I'm so glad to come across your wisdom. Thank You kindly I do NOT have a support system especially women. Thank you for sharing this
I saw the notification and had to click fast 😍 I’ve been learning a lot about cycle synching this year
I love how you said you’re ‘calm and watery’ and sometimes wish you could be at the higher level. I feel the total opposite - I’m the ‘firey’ one and I always wish I could be more calm, lol. Also, that means you’re a true water sign 🥰
Came across your video randomly and subscribed! So much of what you said resonates with me. Yay to being our true authentic selves, speaking your true voice and not performing energy 🤗
I've had the same childhood experiences. It was mortifying to be so poor and neglected. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! It shows me that there were others like me too.
Hi can I help you
I absolutely loved watching this, I feel like i'll be back to watch it again and the infographics are so helpful. thank you so much!
I am currently working on ME and you video hit home. When you know YOU the world becomes your happy place.
your videos are soulfood and very empowering
Wow this literally answers all my questions about my mood shifts throughout the month
woahh this video was so informative thanks for stringing all the info to digestable bites :)) I'm in autumn right now hoping that winter can come a little faster so that the pms will subside sigh but also trying to make space for it and to just observe instead of hoping for something else
I’ve watched this video often during my moon cycle mostly because it’s comforting, I feel seen and walk away with a deeper understanding of my body. Thank you for your content ❤
