Hello, my name is Shayna, and welcome to this meditation for women focused on bringing awareness to your eating habits during PMS.
Due to hormonal fluctuations during this time of the month, it can be easy to crave and indulge in foods that may ultimately contribute to inflammation and tension in the body.
This meditation is designed to help you:
Understand and listen to your body’s cues and signals
Recognize what your body is truly craving
Nourish yourself in a way that feels balanced and supportive
The Pleasure & Purpose of Food
Food is nourishment.
It is fuel for the body, but it is also a source of pleasure and comfort.
And you deserve to experience the joy of eating—while also knowing that what you consume has a purpose and contributes to your overall well-being.
Understanding Your Body’s Needs During PMS
During PMS, the body is undergoing complex biological processes.
The uterus is preparing to shed a layer, which requires a significant amount of energy.
This means you may naturally need to:
Adjust your diet slightly
Incorporate more grounding, nutrient-rich foods
Support your body’s energy levels with mindful nourishment
Mindfulness & Intuitive Eating
Everyone’s nutritional needs are different, and the best way to know what will nourish your body is through mindful awareness.
Practices like this meditation can help you become a more intuitive eater, allowing you to:
Honor your cravings with awareness
Balance pleasure and nourishment
Cultivate a deeper connection with your body’s needs
So yes, you can have your cake and eat it too—pun intended.
Optional Practice with Food
If you have a small piece of food handy, you are welcome to bring it with you for this meditation.
However, it is not necessary—you can fully engage in this practice using only your imagination.
