hehe you said "one month out of the week" at the beginning
33 mins ago and 33 liked! i had to say that haha but yes I noticed that right away
And sometimes the week feels like a month so I think it was the truth 😂
My brain literally rammed into that sentence and I sat in confusion trying to deconstruct it while her voice played in the background lol 😊
I cried when you talked about having a calmer, watery energy. I used to feel so ashamed that I wasn’t as firey as others…thank you for expressing that.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you actually CRIED? 💀💀 like actually? or r u just exaggerating
Apparently that's why the fire type of yoga is really not advised to women when menstruating
@@ihdoioifjosijfosofds1964 what if they did cry? Why are you making fun of them for having emotions, and feeling heard//relating to her.
Can’t believe this kind of content is free. Absolutely amazing perspective and so so fun to learn this ✨💗
Hi Natalie I’m also Natalie! Just wanted to say hello from a fellow Natalie lol 😂
Hi Natalie ✨ So lovely to connect with you.
Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge?
Let me know if this is important to you to connect to your Menstrual Cycle on a Spiritual level.
❤️ Andi
This is amazing, I'm on my moon right now and I have been observing my cycle deeply for the past 3 years. Last night the feelings that emerged to me were about not having any meaningful sisterhood relationships right now and I went deep into my wounds with the women in my life, like my mom, my sister, my old best friend that decided to pull away. So I just felt extremely lonely and lacking in healthy feminine energy around me. For now the only solution I can think of is being with myself and filling my own cup, acting like my own best friend and also watching female youtubers that I connect with. Weirdly, you posted this video today. I feel grateful
synchronistically in the exact same phase, my oldest friend stopped speaking with me 5 months ago and last night i was, even traumatically arranging her gifts/items given over the years to be given away to charity as source was directing me to and so i've been a draught of meaningful intimate sisterhood lately
Really relate to the idea of using your natural voice rather than what you perceive others want your voice to be. I'm studying speech-language pathology and in our voice class we talked about how it can lead to damaging habits to the vocal folds to not be in within the vocal folds natural range. Every voice is unique and we should celebrate that!
How do I know if I'm using my natural voice? I dont even know if this is how I'm supposed to sound?😭😭
I'm autistic and I cannot help but use different voices for different situations. It's like subconscious form of masking. Sometimes I copy the person, if it's a close friend. When I was younger if I was with my sister, you couldn't tell our voices apart. If I was with my bff (who sounds very different from my sister) you couldn't tell our voices apart. I never noticed I was doing it, but it was like I was matching their pitch and cadence. Now in my mid 30s I just have my voice with my husband, a friends and family voice, my work voice, and my calling customer service voice. My husband is from a different country and has his own verbal quirks, and we've almost developed our own "accent" that we both use only with each other. I never thought about how strange it was until his mother mentioned it. 😂 I also speak 4 languages, plus another dialect of one. English: American (mom's American Midwestern) and British (my dad's British), French, Spanish, and Kannada (my husband's native language). I also learned some Latin in my medical terminology class. French and Spanish are similar to each other and even English to an extent so I feel I use a similar tone of voice with those 3 but Kannada is extremely different and I have a much higher voice when I speak it. I find it fascinating how language and even accents can make the same person sound so different!
It's so crazy how we are taught to work against our bodies as women. This video was amazing to learn from, thank you so much for sharing! I wish this was more common knowledge. 💜
And to be ashamed of them. I remember how embarrassed me and my classmates felt when our periods were starting. Sad.
I’m 66 yr old. This video was a blast! Memories of how our bodies influence our moods and activities. Exploring past suffering rather than running from it - impressive!
@@thegrimmreader3649 this is comforting for me as someone who is dealing with PMDD. I kinda can't wait.
I know this is meant for females but as a male im here to learn for my future girlfriend or wife.
Edit: wow you guys are so nice! Im not a perfect man im very flawed but i will try my best! Love yall ❤
Yes, infradian rhythm Magic! ✨ To me it's crazy how we're not taught the truth about the power of all that's within our bodies. Our wombs are said to be the 'first brain' yet we get so caught up in logic we forget to rejoice in her wisdom 🪷
Personally I use my cycle to enhance my intuition and creatively develop my own self embodiment practices. I think this video is so full of gems, thank you for sharing your light Hitomi 🧡✨
The way I connected to that feeling of "otherness" of being terrified that the party is ending. It brought up so much emotion for me right now.
Hitomi you‘re an angel, a literal angel. Your vulnerability and the sharing of your childhood helps me understand my feelings so much deeper and I don‘t feel shame about them anymore. Or about being „sensitive“ 💜 it‘s beautiful to feel a lot, for every being in the universe
I express my energy and excitement SO similarly to you (i.e. not WAY UP HERE but more quietly and grounded). Sometimes I feel like other people perceive me as boring or being indifferent because I'm not as UP HERE as them - but this was a nice reminder that I don't have to perform any certain way for others to express my love and energy.
I, at 22 years old, just started journaling my emotions during my cycle because I started to noticed the cyclical ups and downs in my
emotions when rereading my journal entries from throughout the years. I am so excited to learn more deeply about the science of this information. I have been in relationships that have made me question my emotional sanity which was another instigator to me wanting to self document. I’m no longer in that relationship and I now I can truly feel peace with myself and what i used to think was emotional “instability”. I now have so much mercy for myself and a greater understanding of who i am and what i feel when i exist each day. ❤
I’m glad you brought attention to this. I feel like a lot of women don’t really start paying attention to this until they are partnered or have children
This is such a beautiful video. The honesty is so refreshing, from when you spoke about the flashbacks you have during your cycle, which is so relatable and I’ve never heard anyone talk about before, to speaking in your authentic tone, not trying to match another person’s energy for their comfort.
hitomi radiates this special warmth from each video she uploads, I feel like she’s giving me the sweetest and most comforting hug whenever I watch her videos 🤍
I love how open and loving she’s explaining all of this. This video really made me feel good about myself :3
This whole video it’s just beautiful, i resonate with everything you said, I also struggle with social anxiety and almost the exact childhood trauma you were describing, thank you for doing this.
thank you so much hitomi for sharing this journey that we all go through, many people feel less alone thanks to your openness so thank you much 🦋
I experienced the exact same feelings of grief and almost despair after leaving a hangout or sleepover with friends in my tween/teen years. The jealousy, the sadness, all of it. It really expands my awareness when I have these instances of thinking I'm the only one that experienced something but it turns out someone else has gone through the same experience and that exact feeling. I remember always being so so excited for sleepovers but knowing I would have to deal with the sadness/disappointing return to my actual life as a cost. And this is something I still deal with too. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this I feel less alone
The authentic way you share your thoughts and who you are is so powerful. Thank you so much
oh, you're so comforting. i love the energy of your tribe.
This is by far my favorite video I’ve watched on here. So down to earth, honest, and just pure genuine in every word that was spoken. ❤
The way you describe emotions and relationships with such eloquence helps me make sense of things that I couldn’t understand for myself, thank you!! xx
This is so sincere and geniune. You summarize so much I've learned from my nutrition and exercise science classes - so much connections in real life practice.
You are amazing
🥰
The moment you took to talk about your reflection on your feelings connected with your childhood and not needing to force an unnatural emotions was absolutely amazing. I relate to your way of thinking, how you feel, thank you for sharing I felt understood and like it was a conversation instead of a video. :)
Thank you for speaking about social anxiety. I always feel the pressure of matching other people’s energy and I get so tired of it. I definitely will try to remain myself as you explained! ✨
I resonate with feeling like I have to “perform” joy or bliss, and being on the same hype level as others. I adore your soul’s energy, Hitomi. :)
I feel this thing about trying to match somebody else's energy so hard and it always exhausts me but I keep catching myself doing it... I want to become truly comfortable with who I am and your videos ease my mind and push me in that direction which is neat ❤
This is the first video I’ve ever seen from you and I’m so glad to be here now. I love your articulation and rawness. It’s beautiful.
i love this video. “you being who you naturally are is actually medicine”. needed to hear those words thank u !!!!
Wow. I relate so much to your words about your childhood, especially those feelings in the context of your friends who clearly had a very different experience. Know that you’re not alone in working through these things still, and you are helping others by talking about it. Thank you for your vulnerability. This entire video was so lovely. 💜
Something I have always appreciated about your videos is that you are so open in a beautiful way. You are vulnerable about sex and sexuality, periods, emotions, and personal thoughts in a way that many of us are afraid of being. I feel like when I watch you, you are truly authentically yourself. I just think that is so beautiful. Many of the thoughts you shared about traumatic/difficult things coming up around your cycle really hit home for me in a way I've never experienced before. Thanks for being you and thank you for sharing you with the world!
I love you for holding space for your constant growth. I'm forever grateful for you reflecting - helping others grow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🍃
I love watching you be vulnerable during such a sacred process and thank you for going into cycle seeding ❤ thank you for always sharing your most authentic self
These are the types of conversations I want to have with others but the people I have tried with don’t want to think deeply at all💔 nonetheless watching these videos makes me feel like I’ve had them, so beautiful ty🫶🏼🌞🌞🌞
I resonated with everything said within this & I just feel so understood & fulfilled. Thank you Hitomi for the bliss & peace you bring within a moment💗😌
I got so excited for another video from you. Each one of them brings more healing, peace, and wisdom to my life. You're deeply cherished. May God bless you always. ❤️
Following our cycle is so important. I kind of had to figure it all out because my highs and lows were so intense that people thought I was bipolar haha. But it amazes me that so many women don’t even notice the different seasons of their cycle. It’s a shame we don’t get any of this taught in school. It would have saved me a lot of doubting my own sanity.
Hitomi I appreciate your existence so much. Your knowledge, wisdom and vulnerability are so open and easy to connect with and relate to. Grateful for you!
- Jewel
The info I would have loved to have had....oh, so many years ago. So grateful that you are explaining these phases. Our bodies are magical, intuitive, and strong!!
this is my kind of people, such a wholesome human being and I learned a lot from you, thank you for existing! we need more of you! :))
what a beautiful concept
Dear Hitomi, I am on my moon right now and feeling the warmth of your understanding and honesty welling up within me. It is deeply healing to hear you speak about our cycle free from shame or judgement. We have different life experiences but I feel so seen by you. Love, Ava
This whole video (your energy) is so lovely and calming. I love the way you talk about spirituality and energy, and the connections with food and exercise, hormones, etc. It's not something I'm used to, and I always get the sort of built-in reaction that it's silly. But I've been trying to open myself up to things like that, especially the idea of energies and spirituality, for the past few months, and the more I do, the more I understand why people who do always seem so at peace with themselves. I've never felt calm before this, and I'd love to delve further into these mindsets; I think it represents a lot of healing.
I’ve watched this video often during my moon cycle mostly because it’s comforting, I feel seen and walk away with a deeper understanding of my body. Thank you for your content ❤
such a beautiful, inspiring and vulnerable video. thank you for this, Hitomi 💗
thank you for being so vulnerable with us and yourself
this video literally OPEN MY EYES it is very informative and relaxing and peaceful THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THIS 💗🌞 I feel so grateful for just found it, thanks again 💐💗
This is such an incredible video. I am in autumn right now and often times I despise this time because I don’t feel like myself and my luteal can be quite long. But realizing that winter and spring is coming and that these feelings are temporary is so helpful ❤
Not sure how or why this came up randomly on my feed but I'm glad it did. I wish I could be surrounded by people like her. Seeing the little clips of her and her friends I can tell they have a good relationship with each other. I kinda wanted to cry lol
Hitomi, you are such a special and strong being, and I am infinitely grateful to be able to learn from you and your lessons. You have been (and will continue to be) such a vital part in my journey of discovering my spirituality. Never forget that you are beyond worthy ❤
Thank you so much for making this video. I am trying to learn more about my cycle, as I notice how my emotions and energy vary throughout each month. I appreciate the time and effort you took to create this
I just stumbled upon your video, and I wanted to thank you for talking about not having to put on a show or match other people’s energy if it doesn’t feel natural to you. I struggle with this DEEPLY, and I feel like it depletes all of my energy. You have encouraged me to drop the act and be more myself in all situations ♥️✌🏻
Getting comfortable and confident with one's emotions is such a big step towards inner peace.
You just being who you are is actually medicine.. 💗💗
I can totally relate to when you were being vulnerable and talking about being sad leaving your friends healthy environment and having to go back to your chaotic, messy world. I remember the same sadness when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing ❤️
GIRL you made me tear up.... thank you for sharing and pls never stop. I literally wannna be your friend thank you for your authenticity and everything you talked about.
I find myself loving all your videos! ty for your wisdom and making these videos and being so open + honest ✨️
I’m so glad you decided to talk about this, because Ive felt the same outsider, “other” feeling and that “party is over feeling” and I feel so ashamed for it. There were many times I knew I need to be alone but still chose not to be because my reality was so triggering and I know that still affects me to this day bcs I feel that same fear and panic when I know I’m returning back to my reality at the end of the night. It feels good to know I’m not the only one carrying that pain so thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for being you and making this video. Idk how you came into my feed but I am so glad you did! 🙏✨️💞
Hitomi, I just want to give you a big virtual hug. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness
Hitomi ! I’ve been struggling with pmdd so this video is very very appreciated as I’ve been trying to heal naturally & was very interested to learn about seed cycling. Happy to learn from you always. Thank you💚
This is so timely… I literally just researched this after checking out your start of cycle days and care! We’re aligned ☀️☘️
Thank you for being so vulnerable. This is exactly what I needed to hear ❤️
Coming out of a dark, lonely season of my life. Thank you so much for this video. I’m grateful for all the wisdom you share. It helps me feel more grounded in my physical body. Many many thanks and love ❤
Came across your video randomly and subscribed! So much of what you said resonates with me. Yay to being our true authentic selves, speaking your true voice and not performing energy 🤗
I’ve been dealing with PMDD and this is such an incredible resource!!! Already know I’m gonna watch again to take notes, thank you so much Hitomi 😭💞
Hi makemacken✨ So lovely to connect with you.

❤️ Andi
You are literally so warm and genuine and radiant of beautifully immaculate energy and I’m so happy that you make these videos. I love how you think and how you vocalize you and ur thoughts. It brings me so much joy to see people just living this way and thinking so highly of one’s self. (In such a natural and beautiful way)What an absolute dream🌞💗
Your content is litteraly chaging my life at this very moment. This video??!! it is soo hepful. Just the way you're allowing yourself to be vunerable while teaching us this life changing things.
I relate so much to your upbringing, the way you described it felt like it could have been me who said that. My family home was also really scattered and chaotic, no food in the fridge, not being close with eachother and so on, whenever someone came over I felt so embarrased. Literally word for word it is so familiar, it's strange to hear you talk about it even because it suddenly feels very real, like I can't get away with the ''oh it was okay others had it worse'' thinking. It is very encouraging to see someone with a similar background being this loving and radiant and making something beautiful out of their life! you inspire me
I just love this I have pcos so when my period comes I feel all over the place but this helped me to accept the process and understanding that it’s okay to be tired or upset ❤❤❤
You're like a fluffy bubble, everything here is so calming to watch...I'm a final year med student applying to jobs and everything feels like go go go. So glad I found this beautiful video.
You are one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever seen. Keep glowing. This information was eye-opening… thank you!
I’m 28 and becoming much more intune with my cycle and I can ride the wave more smoothly… I wish I knew this information when I was 21 and SO hormonal..
you explained every bit of this video so well. I love your growing ability to freely express and be you of us as viewers on youtube, you've been a pivotal part of my growing and healing journey. thank you.
I feel so inspired hearing you speak about not having to match other people's energy. I'm also a really calm and mellow person, but I grew up with a lot of high-energy friends which would make me feel shameful of my natural disposition. I still feel that way now sometimes, so thank you for that gentle reminder
this video was so heart warming and soulful… i really connected with you and i wish i had a friend like you. thank you for giving me more knowledge about my cycle🙏🏽
Love this video so much 🥰🥰🥰 So empowering living after your cycle and understanding it
I absolutely loved watching this, I feel like i'll be back to watch it again and the infographics are so helpful. thank you so much!
Absolutely loved this video. I resignated with so much of your experiences never met someone who felt the same. So thank you for sharing. Kisses
This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet! I felt very seen and the way you share is so raw and real and honest.
I’ve just recently started to learn about the cycles and try to sync my life to them, and even just doing it for a couple months I already notice a change as well as the ability to give myself grace for not being able to show up as energetically
Learning about the seeds we should be eating during different parts of our cycle is new to me, thank you for sharing! .
Hi Elizabeth ✨ So lovely to connect with you.
Would you be open in doing a conscious Cycle 28 Challenge?

Htomi when I see your physical appearance, you are beautiful but what is more compelling to me is the warmth in you. I’m not sure how to describe it exactly but the gentleness of your voice and the warm presence of how you hold yourself. You beauty is clear but the energy is something so much deeper, hope you’re having a wonderful day
Stumbled across your channel and this is the first video I watched. It was so comforting and validating. The feels you were having on Sunday omg.. so relatable. All the highs and lows of being a menstruating woman captured perfectly ❤
This was so calming and made me feel so safe
Deeply inspiring insights. I feel more people needs to hear about this and spend time introspecting more.
Thank you for your courage to be vulnerable and share so much with us
Thank you so much for sharing your raw authentic self in this way I can relate to a lot of the struggles you had in your mind and felt so understood and connected while listening to you. You are such a beautiful soul Hitomi I send you so much love and good energy 🙏🏻❤🌻 (+ same for everyone who reads this ♡)
I needed this. Recently started my moon after two months of not having one. I’ve been emotionally overwhelmed. Thank you Hitomi
I relate so much to how you let your emotions flow in such a feminine and strong way. It’s kind off indescribable until you let yourself feel it. Finding peace in yourself is an intense and beautiful journey of healing, that can have lot’s of darkness too and I’m so grateful to see other women going through the same kind off awakening. So thank you for documenting and sharing this process ♥️
5:05 can we just appreciate how beautiful this shot is ? The colors, the quality, and the fact Hitomi is barefaced and being vulnerable… I really appreciate it.
yet if a man was this vulnerable you would spit in his face and be disgusted 😂😂
So timely! I did this this past month too and I'm learning a lot! 💗
Thank you so much for creating this video ! I’ve learned so much already and your beautiful wisdom and perspective was incredible as well🤎 so much love to you !
Hitomi, babe there is LOVEE in the way that you talk. there is something so beautiful and grounded about your spirit and i am so blessed to have found your channel. I have been struggling a lot with having a loss to my social life, my best friend and most of my friend group have recently moved out of town and i have never felt more alone in my life. i know it has a lot to teach me but its hard when you are a person who longs for other people's presence and light. some of the things you have said really resonated with me and i just want to thank you for the kindness and gentleness of this video. you truly are a special soul my love.
woahh this video was so informative thanks for stringing all the info to digestable bites :)) I'm in autumn right now hoping that winter can come a little faster so that the pms will subside sigh but also trying to make space for it and to just observe instead of hoping for something else
I can't express how grateful I am for this in simple words, thank you mama ❤️💕💕💕🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
i love you hitomi; i miss your videos soo so much and the way this video is both helpful and applicable, mixed in with practical solutions and vlogging style video is my favorite type of videos you post. thank you for being you and for showing up as you are, all raw and authentic and unique and sweet and spiritual. love you.
thank you for your wise words hitomi. you’re such a help to this world
bleeding one month out of the week resonates with me at a deep level :P
😂😂😂
I was wondering if anyone else caught that! lol
@@stardragon84 but some women with endrometriosis they can bleed for that long
Yes absolutely:( I think she didn’t mean that for her experience.
@@layladarby1994 nobody can bleed for a month in the space of a week 😂
