Biologically programmed
Welcome – I remind the reader that this is an educational site. As an acupuncture course writer, practitioner and mentor of healing practitioners, I have a life time of working with those who seek to find more than is usually presented. We are souls having a human experience in a mammalian wrapper.
That body has an electrical and a physical component, Western medicine sees the latter. Acupuncturists see both. The information within may seem a bit odd, if it is your first encounter. Please keep an open mind. This model that hangs together well, has millennia of documented writings, and is the first choice of many who wish to stay and be well.
Women are reset to have a seven-year cycle. Men, an eight-year one.
Most talk of ‘hormones’ – they are messengers. What messages?
On a Bell curve – the cluster for puberty should be 7 x 2 should be happening. Not at 8 or 9 as is sometimes the case now. And not at 17 – as was normal when there was war-time rationing and deprivation, or self medicating not eating, or choosing less than nutritive substances. Bodies are malleable but do have limits. The blood to lose in each discharge of unused baby nest has to be replenished.
NOTE – in acupuncture speak – we use capital letters to denote a non English/usual concept – thus blood – the red liquid s not Blood – the concept of what Blood energy does.
Menarche/puberty too soon is a consequence of Hot Blood – see here. This shows up when there are too many resources, too much inner fire (rage is likely in many domestic situations – regardless of age) – and./or and not the right ones (excess sweet or chemicals, caffeine etc). The hormonally charged or a toxin filled environment we have now tricks the body into thinking it has ‘tick’ to begin making baby nests.
However the plant (via soy) and chemicals mean that bleeding may start up to great health detractions later.
The lack of Iodine drives the thyroid to not do the right thing by the woman’s body.
The presence of heavy metals and other dubious added toxins magnifies this effect.
Check out what should be happening for you to make normal/optimal hormones here.
Sugar or sugar substitutes are inflammatory in the body and drive Inner Heat. This in turn causes the Blood to be reckless – driving it out of the vessels and then wasting this precious resource that the body needs. (See what Blood does and how Blood deficiency feels/looks). The seven year cycles show that a woman is in her optimal breeding space at 7 x 3 – 7 x 6 (21 to 42 years old). After this, the natural dwindling happens – unless she has been looking after rejuvenating on the inside.
- adding to her nutrient dense life,
- sleeping and resting and living simply, and
- not taking on board chemicals and
- accepting the medically driven urgency messages of making babies prior to 40 years of age.
What seems to be forgotten is what all farmers know. Feed and stress levels make the herd – in addition to having had good parents who themselves were given strong life foundations. We all age at different rates.
Natural ways of supporting the body may be labelled ‘alternative’ and ‘complementary’, but we could look to farmers and earlier cultures who know they must listen, intuit and to respect the weather patterns, the natural order, and flows of the animals. Encouraging normal meant that the tribe lived through another season, even if things were tight. Natural laws are to be obeyed.
There is a blueprint, and we are all designed to follow it. When we do not – ill health (and disease and accelerated degeneration) happen. Let us see what we can do to reverse the acceleration/ over aging . .:
