My Moon Magic supports all things Meditation + Manifestation + Women's Health. "Where are you in your cycle?" This life-changing question was normalized for me in a course called Embody Your Flow, Menstrual Master 101 by Cree Cox. At the beginning of every menstrual cycle education class, each woman would share... Vulnerable, right?! But so very liberating and educational. I don't regularly ask women about their cervical positioning or fluid but I do ask all of my friends and clients where they are in their cycle and share where I am in mine to create the best experiences for both of us. "If you want to understand women, learn to understand the menstrual cycle. Let's face it, women are governed by hormones and this is not a bad thing! It is actually quite BEAUTIFUL and PROFOUND. There is a common misunderstanding that women are 'unpredictable' or 'unreliable' because of this. While I can see why that is commonly misunderstood, it is not ultimate Truth, with a capital T. It comes from a deeper underlying problem, we have not been taught about a woman's cyclical nature and we live in a culture that does not support it." - Cree Cox, Embody Your Flow Here's why it is important...There was a woman in the Menstrual Mastery Course who acted like a different person each week. One week she was energetic, hyper and silly. The next she seemed introverted and quiet. Since she was sharing where she was in her menstrual cycle, I was able to identify how her personality shifted with her hormones. It was amazing! It was the first time that I got to SEE and give myself permission to BE the multifaceted cyclical being that I am learning to be. When I shared this insight with her, it was even more beautiful. She expressed that she had struggled with feeling like many different people in one body and with upholding who other people expected her to be. Ohhhh freedom though Menstrual Cycle Awareness! For women in their bleeding years, each phase of the menstrual cycle has a different energy, strength and nuance that they can honor. Check out the overview of each phase below to get a better idea of what you and your friends, colleagues and family members may be better at in certain phases. like the Moon you too gently influence those around you without even trying. - spirit daughter For example: If a friend asks for advice in her Luteal Phase, I will tread lightly on criticism as her own inner critic is already cranking and this can be a wonderful time to reassess things but not necessarily understand what the next step is just yet. Another example: I may meet with a more extroverted friend when she is nearing her Menstrual Phase so that her Ovulation energy doesn't overwhelm me and I can access the more introverted and intuitive experience of her. |
