#follicular

bleed phase: if you're bleeding with the nu moon, you're on a white moon cycle. you are in alignment with the moon's natural cycle, making this a very fertile period for you. this is a time for nu beginnings as your cycle is granting you a clean slate + clarity to be exactly who you want to be. with this abundance of sacral energy + fertility, you can plant the seeds that you need to plant in order to bring the vision to life. spend time in solitude to embrace what makes you different as now is the time to show up in that space. you are in true visionary mode so get clear with your vision for the changes that you want to see take place in your life.

follicular phase: your energy is picking up under this nu moon, making this a nu moon to continue working towards the vision. get very strategic about how you can achieve your goals. the key is to work smarter, not harder, so feel free to make any necessary changes in order to make your life easier. this is a great confidence building time, assessing if you are really showing up + giving your all. focus on building your community + sharing your craft. the right people are attracted to you for you, not just for what you have to offer.

ovulatory phase: this is time to take crucial action towards what you intend on manifesting. don't be a coward. you know what needs to be done to make shit shake. shoot your shot with that nu friend, make that change to your appearance, and go out + network! networking is highly beneficial for you during ovulation as you are more likely to attract the people that can help you bring your visions to life. pour into your tribe + uplift your collective. i would highly recommend doing some protection ritual as people will definitely be feening for your energy — evil eye is heavy + you deserve to thrive in your element without any hiccups.

Since becoming more aware and taking more interest in my cycle, I've noticed how my body changes through each of the stages of my cycle and in turn how I should respond to those changes eg. diet, meditation, journaling etc..

Usually in my ovulatory and luteal phase, socially i tend to be more reserved or withdraw because i'm focusing more inward (Hope that makes sense) so as a result this is the time where i will spend more time journaling about  any ideas or thoughts from the month so far or the current time and meditating to ensure that i'm responding to my needs (moving inward reflection ect.) in those phases. I will also journal or meditate at this time to breakdown my emotions/ feeling to identify their cause and if they're having a positive or negative effect. 

In terms of diet at these times i ensure that i'm adequately hydrated and make sure that i'm eating at regular intervals because i feel like if i'm hungry around this time it can cause an emotional upset ( i'm still playing around and adjusting my diet in response to my cycle so that's really the extent of my diet changes atm).

So for my menstrual phase, I usually make an effort to take things a bit slowly and make sure that i'm understanding if i feel a bit tired or need to rest. So i guess really nurturing and listening to my body and taking care of it by ensuring that i'm eating cleanly and up my iron intake slightly, that i'm well hydrated (if i'm not i tend to get cramps) and plenty of rest. I 

I haven't figured out my follicular phase because at that time i seem to be really outgoing so i just usually go with the flow but i'm learning to pay more attention to myself during this time even though i don't feel like i need it.

Inner Winter // Rhythms Of The New Moon

We focus on awareness and inner connection. Here we will learn how to slow down in order to hear our heart's deepest dreams and desires. During this 'dark/winter' cycle of the moon we discuss ways to hone into the true messages of your heart and return to the beauty of your authentic self.

Inner Spring // Rhythms Of The Waxing Moon

We now adventure upwards with the growing light of the moon. In this phase we'll harness the awakening of your creativity, natural energy, inspiration and expansion. Spring is a time of new awakenings, and we're going to shake things up so you can bloom into the truest expression of yourself.

Inner Summer // Rhythms Of The Full Moon

Summer is all about celebration, sensuality and pleasure. Our focus under the energy of the full moon is to reconnect with the natural magnetism you harness within you. As the moon shines bright for all to see, as will you my love. You are fierce, powerful and absolutely gorgeous. It's time that the world saw you for the goddess you really are.

Inner Autumn // Rhythms Of The Waning Moon

We focus on letting go of what no longer serves you. As the natural rhythm of the moon begins to darken, you are ready to release. Together, we will surrender to our emotions as we journey inwards to face our deepest fears. This powerful final week helps us move into the darkness of the New Moon with clarity, confidence and a deep understanding of our natural rhythm.

The moon is now in her waxing stage, growing bigger and brighter each day, and we are starting to feel her energy ✨🌓✨

Now is the time of month to give birth to new ways of being. 

What has been cluttering your life? 

What patterns would you like to shift? 

You are a goddess flourishing in the reality of many possibilities.

My sister, for generations we have looked up to the moon for guidance. We have honored the moon and her cycles, and respected the changes she brings to the rhythm of our body, mind and spirit. This is Moon Wisdom.

And it is essential to the physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of both men and women. 

Learning how to flow with moon energy is an important part of the human experience.
