The 4 types of PMS

Did you know there are different types of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)?

There are about 4 different types of PMS, According to Jane Bennett, in her book; A Blessing Not A Curse, these area as follows:

• PMS- A - shown for anxiety type conditions: moodiness, irritable, anxiousness, and nervous tension.
• PMS-H -shown for hypertension type conditions: weight gain, breast soreness/tenderness, general and abdominal bloating.
• PMS-C - shown for carbohydrate type conditions: increasing appetite, sweet cravings, fatigue and or faintness,
• PMS-D - Shown for depression type conditions: sadness/depression, crying bouts, feeling confused or unable to sleep.

I have and am sure that you, as well have experienced at lease one of these symptoms at some stage of your cycles.  I would even bet that you have experienced at least all of these symptoms at some time in your periodic cycles.  Maybe you have experienced moodiness, weight gain, bloating and sweet cravings all at the same time.  Sounds joyous doesn't it.  However we do not have to endure these upsets.  We have the power within ourselves to change this.  And yes I am talking about having a healthy lifestyle and exercise regime...groan... I can hear you loud and clear!

Having a healthy lifestyle is imperative because we cycle so regularly and our lives are so full and hectic.  The thing is that our cycles show us what is going on for us in our lives and if our lives are too hectic and tiresome our periods will eventually knock us for six and become so unbearable that we will only be able to rest through it!!  So the choice is yours take care of you the best way you can or end up with painful periods.

Eating healthfully is important.  70% of your food should be raw and fresh and the rest can be cooked but make healthy choices!  Remember to have at least 2 litres of water per day!  If your symptoms persist see your health care professional or I can help.  I use kinesiology and it can help to balance your way word emotions.

Masculine vs Feminine

Finding The Right Balance

Recently I had a Friend of my  Dad's come and visit me, in my shop, and he told me how offended he was that I had a 'girlpower' sign out the front of the shop and that from now on he would boycott my business, because it was sexest that there was no manpower around!  He, of course was only stirring and a debate proceeded over the battle of the sexes!  This was exactly what he wanted!  He loves a good argument made in jest!  So I am going to write a short article all in honor of him!  I do not for one minute think that males should rule over females or that females should rule over males. I do believe how ever that we, males and females both need to drop the battle of the sexes, and agree that we both have many wonderful traits to offer each other and society.

Firstly I am led to believe that we women first dominated society and had what is called a matriarchal society.  Women were revered and powerful.  This was a time when magic was strong and the Goddess ruled.  Somewhere along the way Males decided for whatever reason that they were not being honored and that they should take over and thus we became and still are in a lot of ways a patriarchal society.  Which one is better who is to say!  But I believe that now is the time for the womanhood to re-emerge once again, not to rule but to re-gain our wisdom's that have been lost.  This is so we can re-learn our inner "wisdom's" and pass these on to our children and our children's children.  So that women can once again feel a sense of pride at being a woman, and not be ashamed of who we are, but so we can gain a equal footing alongside the men that we live with.


All of us have inside of us both male and female aspects.  We can not live in harmony with ourselves, if these two sides are out of balance.   Both come with lessons.  Men can not live without women and women cannot live without men.  We all need to balance the male and female parts of ourselves before we can have a more fulfilling relationship with the opposite sex.  Both males and females have positive and negative traits, males can be harsh violent and aggressive, but they can also be protective, and helpful.  Women can be weak, insecure and needy and they can also be open receptive and nurturing.  As we see in society we also have women that are harsh violent and aggressive and men that are weak insecure and needy.  Boys are generally raised and expected to be rough and tumble, and girls are generally raised to be sweet, pleasant and nurturing.  The yin yang symbol is a symbol of the male and female aspects of ourselves coming together as one.  The planet cannot sustain itself without the warming and sometimes (hot fiery) energy of the sun (masculine), we would also be lost without the ebb and flow of the moon (feminine) nurturing and sustaining us.  We need both.


We need both masculine and feminine energies to conduct our lives.   For us to gain new ideas and be receptive we need our feminine intuition to be activated.  In order for our ideas to become real and manifest we need to take the outward male/action orientated steps.  In order for a happy life we need to balance our hearts (emotions/feminine) with our minds (rational/masculine).  We have all been in situations in which  we have been overly emotional and let our emotions rule a situation, and conversely we have all been in situations in which we have let our rational mind rule.  In order for there to be balance we need both (our hearts and our minds), to have there little say.  I really could go on for hours but I think I will leave it there. Much love to you finding the balance within so you can have balance in your outer world too.   I think my 9 yr old son says it best: We need both Girlpower and Boypower to have Superpower!
