Seeing The Menstrual Cycle as a Breath
Our physical bodies are a direct reflection of our energetic rhythms, and that includes our menstrual cycles. This episode kicks off a series in which we will discuss the nuances of the menstrual cycle and its role in many areas of our lives. To truly understand the phases of our menstrual cycle, we have to first understand that it is way bigger than just a monthly cycle.
Menstruation is linked to many cycles in life that operate within different rhythms. And what we often fail to realize is that our menstrual cycle is a direct reflection of what we need on an energetic level. So instead of diving into the hormones and the data and the dos and don’ts for each phase of your cycle, I’m talking more about the energetics behind our cycle today and how our feminine energy is defined by life, death, and rebirth.
We must learn to listen to our bodies and adjust our energy to step into our full feminine radiance. It begins with nurturing ourselves. Tune in today to hear more about the energetics surrounding your menstrual cycle, and be sure to come back next week as we dive more into this series!
