Permission to listen: inner Moon flow

Permission to listen to your Inner Moon FLOW:

Our modern world, designed around a 24-hour clock, can make it challenging to honor and embrace the natural rhythms of our menstrual cycles. The constant pressure to be productive, efficient, and always "on" can often conflict with the ebb and flow of our bodies.

Here are some of the ways our society can make it difficult to align with our cycles:

  • Rigid work schedules: Many jobs demand a strict 9-to-5 schedule, which can be at odds with the varying energy levels experienced throughout the menstrual cycle.

  • Societal expectations: We're often expected to maintain a consistent level of productivity and positivity, regardless of our hormonal fluctuations.

  • Lack of understanding: Many people, including employers and healthcare providers, may not fully understand the impact of menstrual cycles on women's well-being.

Overcoming these challenges requires a conscious effort to prioritize self-awareness, self-compassion, and flexibility.This might involve:

  • Educating yourself: Learning more about the menstrual cycle and its impact on your body and mind can help you better understand and appreciate your unique needs.

  • Communicating your needs: Openly discussing your cycle and its effects with your employer, partner, and loved ones can help create a more supportive environment.

  • Prioritizing self-care: Engaging in activities that nourish your body and mind, such as supportive movement, breath practice, meditation, and eating Whole Foods, can help you better cope with the challenges of aligning with your cycle.

Remember, embracing your menstrual cycle is a personal journey. It's about finding what works best for you and honoring your body's natural rhythms. By understanding and respecting the natural rhythm of your cycle, you can cultivate a deeper connection to yourself and navigate the demands of modern life with greater ease and resilience.
