Well done for speaking out. Heart Support and conscious loving spaciousness is paramount. This is the feminine mystery and should be cherished as such. I want to say that it's better to reinforce the powerful release of the woman during this time and not the "painful" time you refer to with gentleness :) It's not always painful ~ although I know if can be depending on what is being released. However, there is also some deep programs in the womb/consiousness of the feminine that needs to be transmuted so that all women get to fully receive the true gifts of this holy sacrament. Thanks for drawing focus in for the brothers....so needed!
