Not many of you know this but for years I was incredibly disconnected from my body. I did not menstruate for 5 years and now, looking back, I think this was one of the main things that lead me to be incredibly disconnected from myself and my body. As someone with a moon cycle, your inner state of being is supposed to be fluctuating, ever changing with the cycles of your moon. It’s an energy that’s intuitive, adaptive, sensual and creative. Yet we have been conditioned to believe that our menstrual cycle is something that is dirty, something to be ashamed about. But over the passed few years I have really learned it is such a divine, feminine energy to work with. It’s your sense of boundaries, creativity, unconditional love and intuition. Your cycle doesn’t simply appear 4 days a month. Every day your body is working in order for new life energy to be formed. I have reconnected with myself through my menstrual cycle - and oh my, it’s a beautiful day when I bleed. It very much feels like a relief for me as it’s my body’s ritual/way to let go of energy that no longer serve me. Of traumas that have stored themselves inside my system. It’s also the time where I am most intuitive and loving towards my body and myself. It sometimes still feels very new to me to have a cycle after so long of living in constant numbness. To be honest it can sometimes still feel incredibly overwhelming at times. I am still getting used to it, trying to work with all aspects of it as best as I can. At the same time I feel so incredibly lucky and grateful that my body is working again and I am allowing myself to feel again. Honouring this process in all the different stages that it comes in really helps me love myself in all forms I come in. Tracking my cycle and learning more about it has connected me so much with my feminine, and has allowed me to honour the softness that can sometimes be mistaken for weakness.
