When flow is restricted - blockage happens.

What precisely is blocked?

At the onset of menstruation, when a girl’s womb opens up but meets negative cultural belief-systems, she experiences two opposing forces: her body opens and flows, while her emotions close up and retreat.

Since the womb (2nd chakra) and also the throat (fifth chakra), are closely related, the restriction sometimes shows up as ladies’ interrupted ability to speak their truth.

Much scientific information, principally from analysis conducted during the Nineteen Eighties, points to a shift in girls’ classroom behavior during puberty. Ladies who were outspoken, outgoing, and filled with confidence, seem to withdraw, minimize their classroom participation, and develop low self worth and poor body image, as puberty sets in.

Assume concerning your own childhood and adolescence…

What reasonably woman were you as a young kid?

Were you similar during adolescence? Or was there a disruption? A amendment of direction? A withdrawal?

If you withdrew, did you ever recover?

Are ready to talk your truth as a cycling woman?

Boys

• The penis and testes grow.
• Body hair seems beneath the arms and on the chest and face, and pubic hair grows spherical the penis and testes.
• The shoulders broaden and therefore the muscles of the arms and chest develop. Pelvic bones grow at a slower rate, giving slimmer hips.
• Bone development makes the face less rounded and therefore the feet and hands additional angular.
• The larynx (voice box) grows larger and also the voice deepens.
• A growth spurt leads to increased height.

Puberty in both sexes is controlled by hormones. These are powerful chemicals which flow into in the blood and control growth and metabolism; they are made by the endocrine system, which is made of numerous glands that each produce and secrete their own specific hormone.

• The pituitary gland is at the bottom of the brain. It produces the growth hormone, stimulates and regulates the working of the sex organs, and helps to manage the other endocrine glands. It’s known as the master gland.
• The adrenal glands lie on top of the kidneys, and secrete adrenaline when sure emotions are aroused.
• The pancreas produces the hormone insulin, that helps to stay the correct level of sugar in the blood.
• The thyroid gland, situated just below the voice box, produces the hormone thyroxin that controls the energy output of the body and the rate at which food is converted into energy.
• The sex hormones are created by the sex glands. The female ovaries produce oestrogen and progesterone and also the male testes manufacture testosterone.

The body cannot operate properly if the glands don’t seem to be manufacturing the right level of hormones. Some glands depend upon others to regulate them, so if one gland is not working properly it will have an effect on others.

Plus stimulating physical sexual development throughout puberty, the hormones also activate emotional amendment. Until these changes have levelled out and also the adolescent has learnt to regulate their emotions, there will be peaks of feeling when she might be depressed, excited, happy, bored, etc. These extremes of feeling are bewildering to adolescents and to their families, and will be difficult to deal with. It’s a time when nice patience and understanding are needed, forever remembering that it is a stage that will pass eventually.
