Women have lived and loved by the moon for centuries.. If you didn’t know already, women have a hormone cycle in phases just like the moon. Men’s hormone cycle runs on a 24 hour time frame, like the sun. We, as women are cyclical and rhythmic beings rooted in phases and forever opening and closing like a flower throughout the seasons. This is our true nature, to live and love by the moon.
If you are a woman who feels like she struggles in our modern day life, I promise you are not alone. Our society runs on a 24 hour day by day routine where it is expected for us to follow a similar pattern day in and day out. You can see why this wouldn’t be supportive to women who are moving through longer, slower, rhythmic phases of their hormone cycle. We are women living in a man’s world and this is why we often feel as if we are swimming against the stream of societal expectations.
The way we can take our own power back and live in harmony with our own bodies is to tune into our cycle and create rituals that support our natural rhythm. This can look like a monthly moon ritual, slowing down during our bleeding phase or scheduling events around our ovulation phase (when we have the most energy).
Our true nature is to live and love by the moon, by the womb and by our own internal rhythm. We are innately intuitive beings, connected to divine wisdom and we have the power to connect deeply with our bodies and with the earth when we learn to harness our inner power and listen to our True nature.
I invite you to begin living by the moon with a simple Full Moon Ritual - the time of month where the moon offers us illumination into the shadows and heightened intuition. A time that has been revered deeply by so many communities of women. This is a time to connect deeply with yourself and tune in to discover what is asking to be seen. I’ve adopted a full moon ritual for myself and it has helped me to shed, embody and enlighten my own path each and every month. I am forever grateful for the teachings of Luna <3
