"Embrace the emotional storm of menstruation with watchful awareness, for it is in understanding our cycles that we find compassion and connection."
According to Osho, menstruation brings a surge of emotions—anger, depression, irritability, despair, a tendency to fight or throw tantrums—along with physical pain for women. Men, though without bleeding, experience a parallel monthly emotional dip. When partners’ cycles synchronize, turmoil intensifies. The key is watchful, non‑identifying awareness, open communication, compassionate restraint, journaling patterns, and using pills if desired to ease physical suffering.
Periods can make feelings stormy and bodies hurt; calmly watch the moods like a movie, tell each other what’s coming, be gentle, and use medicine if needed for the pain.
