At Anji , we are tired of women being told that PMS, painful periods, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, ovulation pain, and many, many more symptoms are just part “of being a woman” – or that these are simply normal changes that a woman should expect as she ages.
We are tired of being told that our choices to improve our bodies are either to go on the pill or to have a hysterectomy.
It is NOT normal to have pain and heavy bleeding. It is NOT normal to lose days out of your month because of PMS or your periods. These are symptoms that you do NOT have to live with.
It is simply about rebalancing your body. When your body is in balance, here is what you should expect to have:
- The first half of your cycle should last between 12 and 15 days and end in ovulation.
- You should have only minimal pain at ovulation and it should happen quickly without bloating or without the process going on for days or emotional symptoms.
- The second half of your cycle should last approx 14 days.
- Menstruation should begin without symptoms of PMS or spotting, bleeding should be red with minimal clots and last approx 4-6 days and end without spotting.
|
There are several pieces to the puzzle in terms of putting your body back into balance - emotional and physical.
At Anji, we take care of the emotional component.
What – my emotions are part of the problem?
Here’s why:
Your mind and your body are linked together – your body is always listening to what is happening in your mind and your emotions.
Your body ‘reads’ emotion in your body based on chemical messengers that are released when you are experiencing emotion. EVERY single cell in your body has receptors for these messengers – your body is literally tapped into your emotions.
|
When you feel positive emotions – emotions that make you feel good like joy, happiness, appreciation, etc. – your body purrs right along, knowing that all is well.
But, when you are feeling so-called negative emotions – fear, frustration, anger, etc, - your body reads these as stress and goes into a fight or flight response plan which throws off your body’s daily rhythms. Remember, every cell is listening for these emotions and reacting to them.
This has specific effects on your reproductive system :
- When you are under stress, extra sugar and cortisol (stress hormone) are dumped into your abdomen. As they circulate around your reproductive organs, they wreck havoc with the delicate hormonal balance needed for conceiving
- Your ovaries sit in a web of nerves responsible for “revving up” your body – when you’re under stress, your ovaries are under stress and can not act optimally
- When you are under stress, the blood flow throughout your body changes. Your body diverts blood AWAY from non-essential organs such as your ovaries and uterus. Good blood flow is a requirement for developing healthy eggs and a healthy lining.
- Stress has been shown to cause tubal spasms as well as non-ovualtory months
|
When your reproductive hormones are out of balance, your organs become out of balance. This leads to more dysfunctional hormones which leads to all of the imbalances that we associate with PMS: bloating, breast tenderness, out of control emotions, crying, pain. The body recognizes these symptoms as more stress – throwing even more oomph into the stress response which further perpetuates the problem.
You CAN stop this cycle.
And, when you do, you WILL create a positive effect on your reproductive system as you bring your body more back into balance.
Here’s what you need to do:
First of all, the goal is BALANCE – everyone is going to experience stress and stressful/negative emotions from time to time. It would just be adding more stress to tell you that you needed to feel positive all the time.
The key to balancing your body is to interrupt the times of stress and negative emotions with periods of peace. This gives you both short term and long term successes:
Short Term Success - When you interrupt the stress cycle, your body gets a chance to relax and to reset itself. You will be able to feel better emotionally AND physically no matter part of your cycle you are in.
Long Term Success – When you make creating peace a regular part of your routine, you will find that many of your symptoms will disappear without having to do anything else. Peace builds more peace which makes your body resistant to stress and negative emotions. PLUS, you will find that you are better able to deal with the stressors in your life.
Now, you need to know that this concept is grounded in research and science. Women who regularly introduced periods of peace in their lives experienced:
A reduction of their symptoms by 58%
Significant reductions in depression and anxiety, blood pressure, and insomnia
|
So how do I regularly create peace when I live in the real world full of difficult people, places, and things?
This is where Anji comes in
For Short Term Success: Create Peace Now tools from Anji use the physiologic connection between your body and mind to your advantage; to create the sensation of peace in THIS moment, no matter what else is going on in your daily life. These tips, techniques, and products are designed to work at any time, day or night - to create peace for you when it feels as if peace is so far away that you couldn’t possibly create it. Read more about the tools here.
For Long Term Success: Stressors come from outside of us (other people, work, roles and responsibilities, commuting, etc.) and from inside of us (thoughts, beliefs, patterns). Anji teaches you to gently review how you respond to your stressors so that they no longer have the same impact on your daily life, allowing peace to naturally occur. Read more about services here.
Short Term Peace
The foundational Create Peace Now tool: From Surviving to Thriving CD Series
Jennifer R Bloome, founder of Anji has created From Surviving to Thriving, a line of CD recordings utilizing the mind-body connection to give you a sense of peace whenever you need it. The recordings make use of the Relaxation Response, a scientifically proven physiologic response that is the exact opposite of the stress response.
Create Peace with the Relaxation Response:
The Relaxation Response is the exact opposite of the "fight or flee" stress response. When you elicit this response you create a peaceful feeling throughout your body and mind and your body gets the message that it is safe to turn off the stress response.
When you elicit this response on a regular basis, your body becomes less responsive to the stress hormones. If your body can’t ‘hear’ the stress messages, it can’t go into the stress response and your body’s natural balance is maintained. By creating peace on a regular basis, you create a positive cycle of emotions.
|
The CDs combine several different types of techniques that elicit the Relaxation Response:
- Breathing
- Physical and Muscular Relaxation
- Emotional Relaxation
- Powerful Imagery
Imagery is simply focused daydreaming using all of your senses. Your brain does not know the difference between an image that is real and an image that you think about . Imagery allows you to provide your body with the images that you would like to be real.
When you use the Surviving to Thriving CDs, you will:
- Stop the Stress Response
- Put your physical body back in to balance
- Gain back emotional balance
- Put your reproductive system into balance, reducing PMS and other symptoms
