War is Anathema to Our BEings: http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=356&i=14
Spirits tells us that killing one another, particularly in war, affects us all at a soul level. Bodily, the shock of war can show up as Gulf War or Agent Orange syndromes.

I think it is very different today. Many women have "lost" this connection and view their time of monthly menses to be a "nuisance" or " the curse". Many women view their bodies negatively secondary to Western ideas of female "beauty"--thin, forever youthful looking. Women have incorporated this negativity into themselves, affecting not only how they feel about themselves but also inducing women's dis-orders. Violence against women, denigration of women, women as "sex objects"--all have taken their toll on women's psyches and cycles and health under patriarchy.
