Transcript
Hello and welcome.
My name is Shayna, and I’m honored to guide you through this meditation for women, designed to transform menstrual discomfort into ease through focused, mindful attention.
The Power of Mindfulness in Pain Management
Mindfulness teaches us how to observe sensations without judgment and to become more curious about the signals our body is sending us.
Research indicates that mindfulness can reduce pain intensity and improve pain tolerance.
Studies have shown that practicing mindfulness can lead to a 30% reduction in the perception of chronic pain.
In the context of menstruation, learning how to be present with discomfort—rather than resisting it—can significantly enhance our overall well-being during this natural phase of our cycle.
What to Expect in This Practice
Today, we will explore how to:
Be present with discomfort, without judgment
Hold space for sensations instead of resisting them
Transform not only the discomfort itself but also our relationship with it
Let’s Get Started
Take a few moments to find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down.
If sitting, you may choose to place props or cushions beneath your hips for support.
If lying down, consider placing a pillow beneath your knees or under the back of your head for added ease.
Prioritizing Comfort
Comfort is the foundation of this practice.
If something feels uncomfortable, and you have the ability to adjust your posture to bring in more ease, please do so—whether now or at any point during this meditation.
Listen to your body. Honor what it needs.
