14: Cycles of Alignment: Embracing Your Inner Seasons Ft. Ella Greig
In Episode 14 of the Aligned Living podcast, the guest, Ella Greig, delves into a profound exploration of the relationship between the menstrual cycle, inner alignment, and personal growth. Ella and the host discuss how this work is not just about the physical body but also about understanding one's identity and expression.
Ella emphasizes the significance of embracing the cyclical nature of the menstrual phases, specifically focusing on the menstrual phase itself as an inner winter. During this phase, hormone levels are low, likened to the stillness and darkness of winter in nature. It's a time for introspection and self-care, akin to a period of rest and nourishment for future growth. Ella compares it to composting, where you gain essential nutrients to strengthen your roots for the upcoming phases.
The guest also touches on the archetype of the witch during the menstrual phase, highlighting a deeper connection to intuition and heightened sensitivity to one's body. It's a time for attuning to one's body and embracing the gift of resting, which, in turn, informs one's ability to express and create in later phases.
As the conversation moves to the inner spring, the follicular phase, Ella discusses the rising estrogen levels and the increased energy and desire to explore. This phase is likened to the first sprouting of a plant and is a time for adventure, connection, and natural energy.
Throughout the podcast, Ella and the host also discuss the importance of feeling safe within oneself, the significance of mentors and communities in self-discovery, and the power of coming into intimate connection with one's body and emotions. They emphasize that it's not about making the journey easy, but rather a continual commitment to uncovering layers, rebuilding intimacy, and embracing the full spectrum of emotions and experiences. This process of self-discovery ultimately leads to inner peace, allowing individuals to be more deeply in alignment with their authentic selves.
In summary, Episode 14 of the Aligned Living podcast with Ella Greig offers a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the menstrual cycle and its connection to inner alignment, personal growth, and the importance of embracing one's full range of emotions and experiences.
