Rtu – Why should we reclaim Rajas ?

Sanskrit for Rtu Rajas – This is Sinu Joseph – She reminds me of some of the stories my Maji talked about when I was a child and began my Rtu Raja journey….

Sinu Joseph- Menstrual Rtu Educator from India

Read about my Chandni Rtu Mandala here if you want to learn how I can support you to think about reclaiming your rtu cycle

Rajas – is ‘menstruality’ – There are so many names which you can read below – for women from south asian decent – lets embrace the positive stories of our roots and heritage and reframe them for the next generation …. I am a mother of 2 daughters and a son – There is no shame in being a mother – it’s a beautiful creation of love and without a cycle were would they be ! I love how Sinu explains her story –
