Personal Review: 105 Ways to Celebrate Menstruation by Kami
McBride

I absolutely love this book! I started researching different books to share
with my daughter for her menarche and this book is by far the tops. It will
definitely be a part of the Red Moon Box that I am creating for her in
celebration of her menarche. It is a great gift to give a young girl, but it
also celebrates every woman's cycle throughout her entire reproductive
years. Any woman, and every woman could find something in here to
celebrate their female essence and being.
One thing I really loved (and NEVER would have thought of on my own)
was finding a 2 fisted size rock that can be heated by the sun (or in Winter,
hot water) to place on the abdomen during menstruation. The heat stays
longer than with a hot water bottle, and the weight of the rock is also
soothing. I am painting important signs and symbols on mine to add to the
sacred experience.
The book is separated into 3 different phases of a woman's moontime.
First is "Preparation," where you take time beforehand to gather the foods,
personal and sacred space, emotional clearing, and tools, to support your
own moontime. Second is the "Giving To Yourself," where it offers ideas
to nurture you during your bleeding phase. I particularly liked the idea of
making a beaded belt that I could wear to remind myself of this sacred
time, that connects me to all my female ancestors that have went on
before me. I also liked the suggestion to sit in my sacred space and think
about what has taken place since my last moontime. As women, it is easy
to forget ourselves when we are nurturing others. This time is a signal for
me, to reflect on the month before, and make important changes for
myself. This section offers many ideas to support one's self in body, mind
and spirit, and to honor the intuition within that is heightened at this time.
The next section is "Emergence," and it is a part I have sometimes
forgotten to honor. I, like many women, I am sure, hit the ground running
again (if I ever remembered to stop in the first place). This section offers
suggestions to slow down and reflect before returning to the "doing" of the
rest of the cycle. My favorite thing in this section is the part to ask myself,
"What pearl of wisdom am I re-emerging with?" Or, "What is my image of
what is sacred, valuable, reverent and holy about being a woman?" The
last section shares recipes for teas,herbal baths,footbaths,foot
scrubs,tinctures,body oils, body powders,dream pillows, and foods.
This book is a life affirming, celebration of women and our ability to tap into
our own feminine essence and power. As women we are connected
throughout time, since the first women, and we will be ancestors for the
ones that follow. Choose this book if you are finding a call within yourself
to reclaim the wisdom and positive expression of your nature. Moms,
share this with your daughters. In sisterhood.....
