00:00My problem is that I have a lot of fear and anxiety.

00:03Specifically, before and during the time of menstruation,

00:07I am not able to handle it.

00:09Why must you take it as something extraordinary happening to you?

00:13It is not happening to you.

00:15It is a thing of the body.

00:16And let it stay there, in the body.

00:18Let the mind be unencumbered.

00:21Mind should be free, untouched by the bodily vagaries.

00:27And the body can do anything.

00:29The female body does a lot of things.

00:31The male body too does a few things.

00:32Why let that become too much for you?

00:34You know very well, that time of the month is approaching.

00:37And you know in advance, what is now going to happen to the mind.

00:41And since you know that, you are free.

00:43You are already free.

00:44It's like setting an alarm.

00:46The alarm has been set.

00:47The alarm will ring.

00:49You are not the alarm.

00:50How does it feel to be called the alarm?

00:52Hilarious, no?

00:53Who am I? The alarm.

00:54And the alarm has been set at, let's say, 6 AM.

00:57I am the alarm.

00:57It will start ringing.

00:59The body starts ringing.

01:00There is somebody who is feeling the pain.

01:02Somebody feeling the anxiety.

01:04Somebody is feeling that.

01:05And the more intimately and clearly you keep realizing,

01:11it's chemical, it's bodily, it's evolutionary, it's not me.

01:15The more you will find that things have not changed,

01:18but their relationship with you definitely has.
