[00:00:17] Meredith: This is every phase piece #26. A follicular phase piece of the 8th cycle titled 'into me see', or 'intimacy'. This piece was released February 26th, 2022.
(AI videos here) I found a mirror and into me. I saw my voice on the pelvic floor.
A perfect subject for the follicular phase when we start to creatively plan where we get to decide what our attention goes towards. Not facing your shame or your pain is the root of why most people fear intimacy.
Intimacy can be translated to into me see. It's a fundamental human need, a connection to what's real, a connection to yourself and others. Intimacy is truly being heard and seen by someone and loved for who you are instead of just what you can provide to someone else or accomplish.Most of our relationships are transactional this way. So to experience real intimacy, which has nothing to do with sex, which you probably already realized is a real treasure. And once you taste the freedom of that, you won't want any other kind of relationship because you will recognize anything other than authentic as truly a waste of time.
Emotions are our internal compass. They are our loyal friends. They may not always be gentle or nice, but they are the map to figuring out what we really want and need. They show us the truth about ourselves, the truth about where we have violated our own boundaries.

There is this really horrible trend I've noticed of invalidating our emotions in the spiritual and personal development space. The notion that we must only listen to that which is positive and not dwell in the darker parts of ourselves. Or even better, Hiding behind books about positive thinking and personal responsibility as a way to lie to ourselves, pretending that others don't impact us and that everything is within our control.
I highly disagree with this methodology. It breeds the opposite of self love. Denial, narcissism, codependency, and fragmentation. The darker, ugly, not at all positive parts of ourselves are crying out for us to see me, hear me. They are only dark and harsh because we have ignored them for so long, but they hold the answers to all that we are seeking.
Real sustained healing isn't about putting On a mask or reading a book to bypass what your real problems are, it's about integration to love is to accept and take something on as a part of yourself going towards your shame, your pain, not to try to fix. because you are not broken, but to finally listen, accept, love, and integrate the parts of ourselves that we have disconnected from.
The science from flowliving. com, biohacks for better sex. If your sex life is underwhelming, you're not alone. Studies show that 60 percent of women are sexually unsatisfied. So what gives? Shifts in desire and sexual response should not be unpredictable, nor should they feel random or mysterious. And they should never make you have a whole inner dialogue about how you may be suffering from low libido.
Sex drive and orgasmic responses change across a woman's infradian rhythm cycle. When you understand and support your infradian rhythm, You can use food supplements and lifestyle to have better relationships, more intense orgasms, a stronger libido, and a more pleasurable sex life. Here is a look at what's happening in your body and to your libido in each of the four phases of your cycle.

I am making videos of select pieces of this series, but for the full, every phase journey, and the newest releases, subscribe for free on my website, to join my 13 year visual art journey. My experience healing myself of 17 years with endometriosis inspired me to actually live my art. So, I created this ongoing art series about it called Every Phase, which is what you're watching right now, where I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle.
You've probably heard of the everyday projects like a sketch a day, and like the crypto art breaking sale of Beeple's Every Days, in which he created an image from start to finish, every day for 5, 000 days.
In April,:
The art illustrates the different brain and body chemistry of what's occurring during that particular phase and reveals how to biohack and leverage this energy in your life. Follow this vlog series by subscribing to this channel as I actually live the art within each phase. And if you prefer writing, check out my Every Phase blog. In addition to the original works, I have created all of the images in the series as $50 limited edition bite size acrylic art block collectibles. So at the end of 13 years, the entire collection can be enjoyed as a whole without completely taking over your entire house.
Speaking of living the art, this series is about way more than just healing. These videos, as well as the writing and art pieces discuss truth, freedom, our current healthcare and financial system, slavery. And the way out.

in addition to the book I also have an accompanying podcast that introduces some of the experts and practices that helped me achieve what I thought was impossible.
I kept the desire and I gave up the struggle, and my wish is for it to spread to all women dealing with endo, and all people in pain. Through my experience, I learned that all healing begins with being authentic, and that the truth really will set you free, once you decide to break the ice.
