EP 114 | HOW TO REUNITE WITH YOUR MOON CYCLE

This week’s podcast episode is all about how to reunite with your moon cycle. While I’m speaking directly to my female sisters this week, I encourage our spirit seeking soul brothers to lean in, read on, and listen to this week’s show. Come educate yourself alongside your sisters. We need your support, understanding, and love to find our way back to ourselves. If you have a sister, a mother, a partner, a bestie, a medicine sis… this is for you too.

Rediscover the mystery of your sacred moon cycle…

Menstruation. Periods. Your monthly bleed. The so-called curse of being female…

If you have a womb, chances are you have some strong feelings about your period. You may have spent most of your life in fierce battle with your uterus. Engaged in a war with yourself and your body. Secretly wishing it would just stop already. Cramps, sobfests, bloating, weird digestion, sore breasts, and bleeding all over the place like it’s Shark Week are common monthly experiences.

Trying to hide the mess. Using toxic plastic pads and pesticide laden cotton to plug up the flow. So that we can keep going to work and school and be moms and partners and sisters and friends and output at our maximum strength every single day.

We were taught that menstruation is a nuisance at best, and a curse at worst. We learned to hide, subdue, and feel deep shame about the natural process of our cycles. Spending most of our fertile years trying to prevent pregnancy with chemicals and hormone disruptors. Flooding our bodies with birth control shots, pills, and implants. IUDs and hysterectomies. Abortions and miscarriages.

Finding ways to survive the onslaught of symptoms that are often debilitating. Being chronically anemic, exhausted, and nauseous. Diagnoses of lumps, cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis. Learning how to cope with the roller coaster of pain and feelings that show up each month.

Do not even get me started about perimenopause that can last for TEN FUCKING YEARS. Sometimes longer.

We were not allowed to stay home. To rest. To relax and go inward. To look inward. To listen. To pray. We did not have a collective sisterhood of women who journeyed into the red tent to sing, weave, create, and dream together each month. We did not know that each month we embark upon a sacred vision quest where we learn to see with our third eyes and our hearts and our divine feminine intuition.

Instead, being female became a medical problem. We were told we are dirty. Slutty. Unclean. Bad. That women created original sin. That we should be ashamed.

We all know the modern day experience of having monthly cycles.

What many women don’t know is literally ANYTHING about the ceremony of their monthly moon. That your bleed is sacred. Ceremonial. Natural. Primal. That your womb is the center of your creative power. Your manifestation temple. And that we are naturally designed to be in alignment and resonance with the phases of the moon. That we ALSO have phases in our cycles.

Your monthly moon blood has powerful information about your overall health and wellness. Your cycle, your symptoms, and your relationship with your body and your creativity are all connected. The way you are experiencing this blessing in your life can offer clues to the balance of your systems (minerals, vitamins, your hormones, digestion, brain health, organ function, adrenals, reproduction, sexual health, and more.)

How do you feel when you think about coming into relationship with your blood? With your body? Did you know you can pray with your moon blood? Give her back to Mother Earth in ceremony and reverence?

Do you communicate with your womb? She is a powerful and magical portal in your body, holding energy from Svadhisthana, your sacral chakra. Where the self is established. This is your power center for sensuality, creativity, manifestation, money, freedom, and pleasure.

Moon blood is the only blood on Earth that is shed without violence or harm. It is truly the blood of creation.

Plant medicine guides us back to the center. To equilibrium. To right relationship with the beautiful feminine energy we hold inside. So many of the problems we have with our wombs and bodies as women originate from the rejection of the feminine. From sexual trauma. From not belonging. From being violated. From self-abandonment.

We have so much collective healing to do, and it starts with healing your relationship with yourself.

Coming back into connection with this part of you isn’t just about your monthly bleed. In fact, you can do this whether you bleed or not. Maybe you’re well into your wise elder years, or you no longer have your uterus. This is for you too.

Healing the Divine Feminine inside is the energy of your body and heart and soul learning how to flow as one together. It’s taking back all the ways we have made ourselves small and pleasing and invisible. It’s about finding your voice and speaking from your own truth. It’s about taking off the masks we wear as people pleasers or pick me girls, waiting to be chosen.

It’s about joining together in sisterhood and collaboration and refusing to compete with other women. It’s about giving yourself permission to always be evolving.

Choose yourself. Come home to your body. Take care of her in the way she needs. Be the Divine Feminine witch you were born to be.

Love,
Sinclair
