Yoga day 3

I feel like that rose today.
Just plum tired from the wind and fallen over gratefully onto the floor, but still blooming.
This morning i was laying on the couch thinking about beginning my yoga but more intrigued by the book on natural hormones that i was reading, when the phone rang.
E called and suggested we do our yoga together as she was going to be passing by my place on her way home.
Sounds perfect. Yoga and a fresh fruit breakfast.
Only, as i lay on the couch reading, waiting for her to arrive i felt those telltale cramps begin.......and increase and ...oh boy. Mother nature and her monthly gift. Great.
By the time we started our practice the pain was beginning to kick my ass but i ignored it.
I hoped the yoga would help alleviate it and i would be able to go drug free.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Halfway through it i just sat and Lamaze breathed while E finished up.
I didn't feel like eating but i decided to chop up some fruit for her.
I barely made it thru slicing some papaya before i felt like passing out.
She had to leave after 'breakfast' and i couldn't protest. I was seeing my ancestors. I haven't had pain this bad in a long long time.
I think i had so much hostility and confusion toward my ovaries and all my girl parts in the past month that the pain was all of that culminating.
Ooohfah.
After a shower i put a warm wet washcloth on my stomach and lay down.
Then got up.
Then back down and up and oh my word no position was even beginning to ease the pain so i just rode it out breathing and moving /writhing around.
The tabs i caved and took after yoga finally kicked in about 2 hours later and justtttt took the edge off.
I'm still in pain but not as much. Definitely bearable at the moment.
I might do a meditation and some poses for menstrual cramps tomorrow. I will resume the chakra kriya once my period is over.
Holy lightning and thunder i'm getting offline NOW!
