The moon and your cycle

 

Bleeding with the moon is sacred.

As the moon journeys its 28 day cycle, so do you, experiencing oscillations in hormones and energy every single day.

We become a different woman each day, each moment as we cycle.

You are profound medicine, experiencing death and rebirth every single month with the tides of the moon.

 

Traditionally women would sync their cycle to bleed with the new moon.

The darkest phase of the moon, symbolizing a time for introspection, reflection, setting intentions and planting new seeds, due to your heightened awareness, senses, intuition and psychic abilities.

Our physical bodies during this time are doing the same as we bleed, it is shedding, releasing, and replenishing to prepare for a new cycle.

 

To connect to your cycle, and transition into a more 'sacred cycle' below are some tips;

 

1. Your cycle is sacred, whether you are conscious of it being sacred or not, disconnect from the part of yourself that associates to your cycle not being sacred 

 

2. Call in some ritual practises and be more present in your day to day ways of being and doing

3. Look into getting support for healing, womb work, body work and energy work. 

Heidi offers these locally in Brisbane, bayside in Manly West and The Sunshine Coast 

 

4. Meditate, contemplate, get quiet with you and your womb, and yoni 

 

5. Track your cycle, through paper form or via an app, keep a journal and daily over that cycle add 3 points of how you are feeling that day, you may start to see a pattern when you look back and reflect each cycle 

 

6. Exercise, and move your body for each phase of your cycle 

 

7. Eat and nourish your body for each phase of your cycle 

 

8. Drink herbs and botanicals that support the phase of your cycle that you are in 

 

Honouring yourself and your sacred cycle. In the West, it seems women, have lost touch with themselves... I treat and meet women everyday that have imbalances like; 

• Low levels of feelings and sensation in the body
• Lost connection to self – Heart and Womb
• Energetic blockages
• Pelvic pain
• Hormonal imbalances
• Post-natal nurturing
• Pregnancy loss, Miscarriage, or termination
• Disconnected from pleasure, sexuality, sensuality, joy, low libido
• Pelvic infections / pain
• Sexual, emotional trauma or abuse 
• Digestive issues
• Anxiety, depression and stress
• Fertility issues
• Perimenopause / menopause
• Menstrual imbalances manifesting as PMS, Pain or irregular bleeding
• Endometriosis
• Inflammation
• Lower back pain
• IBS

These are considered 'normal', but I am here to tell you that they are NOT, this is your physical body screaming for you to listen.... and not in a way of booking a doctors appointment and getting another pill, another scan, another surgery, seeing the next specialist after the next, or told its all in your head and there is nothing we can do.

There are UN-invasive, nurturing, ancient rituals that have been practised for thousands on years in the East, and most are ancient women's medicine. 

Yoni Steaming

This can be done at different stages throughout your cycle

I love to steam a few days before I bleed, and the day that my bleed is ending

A beautiful ancient practise to prepare for your bodies releasing of blood. Helping to release emotions, stagnant energy, balance hormones, ease tension or contraction, heal yeast infections, easing of cramping and discomfort. Steaming the last day of your cycle or the day after promotes to release old blood.
