The woman’s body and the female cycle are related to the Moon and Earth, the woman, through her menstrual cycle, transits the different lunar energies (increasing, full, decreasing and new), which in turn connect to different seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter).
In the past, culture and customs included this link between women and nature, various rituals were performed and there were stories that explained this relationship, so from an early age girls have a different understanding of themselves, of their body and your periods. as “sacred” and not as something dirty and uncomfortable to hide.
- Today.
- In Western countries.
- Women generally do not pay attention to the emotional and energetic changes they experience during their cycle.
- Often trying to live as if they were not affected by their phases.
- Resulting in a loss of well-being and an underutilization of their full potential.
The phases of the Moon coincide with the phases of the menstrual cycle and the moods and hormonal states are under its influence. Just as the Moon takes about 28 days to circling the Earth, the woman’s menstrual cycle is about 28 days. our cycles are connected, as are the four lunar phases: new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.
In the past, every woman’s natural rhythm was to have her period during the new moon and ovulate during the full moon, we know this for our ancestors, those for whom the only way to mark time was to observe the lunar phases.
Today, with so much artificial light, constant use of computers, lights on all night on the streets, it is almost impossible to live in natural light, artificial light affects the natural rhythm of women and causes confusion between sensitivity and biological rhythm, leading to irregularities. causing menstruation to appear on a moon other than the new one.
“Moon and Woman are the same
It is the reflective phase, the dark phase par excellence, the phase of silence, introspection, loneliness, “folding in on oneself”. The woman wants to be calm and the interaction with the outside can become uncomfortable. Her body is much more sensitive, so she can connect in a special way with him and the messages he transmits. At this stage, women can rely more on their instincts and intuition.
It is a good time to shut up and meditate, this means giving you as much time as possible to have your period, this is where the woman’s body naturally recycles energy, that is, it seeks to rest to rest and begin the next phase of the crescent moon with great vitality.
The week after menstruation coincides with spring, with renewal, with an increase in physical energy, is a phase of transition between menstruation (darkness, winter) and ovulation (light, summer), so these are ideal days to start projects that will materialize in the next phase (ovulation).
The capacity for analysis, concentration and planning is high, mental strength and clearer thoughts prevail, emotions are more stable and vital energy is at its peak, during the crescent moon the woman needs less rest and has more self-confidence. a love of social life, for going out and having fun.
“Preovulation is the best time of our cycle to start new projects, act, work and get results. “Miranda Gray.
Ovulation is the expressive, sociable, empathetic and radiant phase. There’s a greater ability to deliver to what you love. This is the moment when women are most fertile, so it is a phase full of energy and vitality. Is this a fertile phase in all aspects: bringing professionalism, personality and family projects to life?
“During ovulation, our sense of personal well-being is directly related to the expression of our feelings of love, appreciation, gratitude, and affection. “Miranda Gray.
At this point, the physical energy level begins to drop. There is a need to clean and loosen what does not benefit, such as trees in autumn with their leaves. Many women at this stage experience the famous premenstrual tension.
These are days when there is an “inside” orientation. Is this the perfect time to rethorder our desires, our needs, our fears?This phase is ideal for healing and progress in the process of personal growth. Sexual desire can also be more intense these days.
Although there is no menstruation, cycles still exist and exert their influence, reality is changing, because it is another step, but from a hormonal point of view this female cyclic process remains.
The postmenopausal woman is not subject to her reproductive cycle, has transcended it, energetically is even more powerful when she no longer bleeds, all this energy, which was renewed month by month, now starts an internal circuit that feeds and continues to maintain the natural rhythm of the female.
This path of knowledge and understanding of female cyclical nature leads women of all ages and promotes self-knowledge, femininity and happiness, so part of each woman’s personal development process should guide her efforts to reconnect with her menstrual cycle, phases, energies and potential. In this sense, the main tool is how the menstrual cycle affects them.
When a woman is aware and experiencing her cycles, she can manage her activity and life in harmony with her own natural processes.
