Do you know how winter solstice relates perfectly to our menstrual cycles?
The solstice that happens where the sun is still for the shortest day of the year. It’s a rebirth moment.
There is a moment during your menstrual cycle where this happens too. It’s the time during menstruation where you are closest to your deepest self, your interior world. Your secrets, your innermost thoughts, dreams and wishes. Like solstice this time of the month is potent for manifestation and letting your inner soil repatriate...taking time off for yourself, honouring your bleed and your body and resting during menstruation allows not only your physical tank to refuel, but your emotional landscape to pause, release and let go...
Giving yourself the time and space to drift without agenda, potter and not feel drawn to all of the incessant doing that we fill our precious time on this earth with...this is where the magic happens. Like the soil in nature, the solstice in winter, we too need this time every month so that we can connect and see where we are at with things. Soon the days will pass into spring and the fullness of our inner summer at ovulation where we on an opposing territory of expression and relationship with our outer lives (and egos).
But for solstice, and menstruation, it’s the moment for deeper examination...a letting go....and a chance to rebirth more settled, prepared for what’s to come.
