Women's Wisdom
Moon Cycles
The ancient way of women's wisdom
Simply by looking up^
To the sun, knowing what time it is in the day.
To the moon, to see where in the month we are.
Coming back to the wisdom our ancestors evolved with, looking up & looking within.
Over the last hundred years or so we began to drift away from these ancient teachings, further from our ancestors, further from the earth's wisdom, further from our true selves.
For the woman, connecting back to the moon means connecting back to herself, tracing her menstrual cycle with the moon will open up her body and mind to the world around her, seen and unseen.
It brings in awareness to dig deeper.
Only if you are not taking hormonal birth control are you able to connect back.
The pharmaceutical industry disconnects us from our inner knowing;
Our inner healing
(Will touch more upon this later in the post).
After 2 years following the cycles of the moon with my menstruation I feel a sense of ease when things go awry, I rely on my tie with the sky to help guide me in my life through the my own body, mind, & the sky.
Moon Cycles
The moon cycle is 4 weeks, 28 days
There are 2 weeks between the new and the full moon
From starting new to felling full
The new moon is when the moon is furthest away, completely blocked from sky view.
Starting a new cycle, time to set new intentions for yourself, your body, your life, your mindset. Setting goals or removing obstacles is done during this time.
The full moon is closest to earth, big and bright, the tides of the ocean are usually strong and high, mimicking the high energy of the moon. This time represents a bit of chaos, it can be fun chaos or it can be emotional turmoil... Wait and see!
Periods near the new moon:
Resembling new beginnings, making changes in your life towards a goal, you are more likely to be ready for children.
Period at the full moon:
Allowing all you have been working for to simply come to you. The energy is high, flowing from the full moon through your body. This time means you are discovering more of the world opening up to you. You are not as ready to have children.
Periods at the half moons:
Resembling the transition periods, moving between finding new beginnings and allowing what you need to come to you. The moon is asking of you to decide which direction you want to go. Are you ready to allow things to come to you? Or are you ready to take action yourself?
If you are unsure your period will tell you, is it closer to the new or full moon? Which direction shall you head for your next cycle? Giving you insight on how you can start this cycle within yourself, body and mindset.
Depending on where you are personally or professionally in your life can connect to this. I found great ease by relying on this system, confident in the tides of my life.
Begin to connect to the moon, to your inner world, & watch the outer world reflect it…
Before I began connecting I suffered from disconnection, from my own body, from the earth, from my life.
I was a young woman put on hormonal birth control pills because it’s what all the young women are doing, my doctor said it was best for me to do it, I won’t question it.
Little did I know I was removing my connection from the ancient wisdom, from my own wisdom, connection to source.
Birth control pills, I stopped because my boyfriend asked me why I was taking fake hormones? (Have a post on natural birth control methods in my next post).
I had never questioned what I was taking or what it was doing to my body but he did. Why was I doing this to myself, to my body? I stopped & my body had no idea what was going on. Seriously disconnected. It no longer knew how to properly make hormones anymore. I stopped getting periods for months at a time, my doctor again prescribed me fake hormones to induce my period back.
Our bodies are asking us to connect back to our selves, to the earth, to each other.
Connecting to the cycles of the moon, the women around me, the land I live on (local & organic food), this allowed me to regain my period & connect back to my body, the innate healing.
After I regained this magic I was empowered to travel around the world guided by my inner knowing.
Tune into the earth, connect with each other, connect back to yourself.
Look up to the moon & feel her power, she is within you, activate it.
Remove yourself from the unnatural world and life will begin to guide you…
The light in me sees & honors the light in you
