Techina for Femstruation
Geela Rayzel Raphael
Guardian of the Sacred Cycles, as my body passes through stages of change, let me appreciate its uniqueness. Although I am prone to complaints for the discomfort, help me transcend my here and now and acknowledge this wonderful system You have designed. Grant me relief as You spared my female ancestors in the desert. Let me be as one of the righteous who were rewarded because of their willingness to accept the Torah.
Although my body has the power to create and nurture life, during this time of Femstruation, I am not incubating a child. I need Your assistance in recognizing that this is a time of power in its own right. Help me use its wisdom wisely. Grant me dreams and powerful connections with my moon sisters. Strengthen my resolve to develop my individuality during this time apart from my husband. Teach me to treasure this time as women's time, drawing upon ancestral teachings of prophetesses and ancient mothers. Support me to use this time to create and free my soul from the mundane tasks that ties it down.
We know that blood is vital in matters of life and death, as it is said in Ezekiel. "In your blood live." Let me live fully through these hormonal stages – cherishing the opportunity for spiritual growth and the occasion to treasure my place in Your universe.
