Intuitively we know about cycles through direct experience. When we look closer at natures cycles we find that each is part of a larger one that unfolds within an even larger one, and so on. Fractal nested cycles of time and energy that govern the rhythms of the universe and life on earth. We are a direct reflection of the universe itself. Our wombs connect us back to the natural world. They are linked to something much, much greater than us. They hold the universe inside and they are a ... Read More

Every now and then some cycles, as they come to an end and it’s time to go inward, I’m not so sure I will make it through the other side in one piece. Do you dive into your depths often? The creative phase, while being very deep and creative, can be a huge journey within, deep into the shadow self and sometimes completely unexpected. It is a clear reflection of where I am at, whether I am aware of my situation or not. It is a time to FEEL into my life and what is going on for me. To re-assess ... Read More

The more women I speak to, from many different cultures, the more I realise that this information NEEDS to be shared and discussed normally - in everyday conversation. This morning I had a conversation with a Japanese woman in her early 40's, she was thinking there was something WRONG with her because she was tired, foggy headed and just didn't feel like doing much today. She said it happens every now and then and a normal task is just too much. She was at the beginning of her cycle, where ... Read More

I love it when the sky becomes heavy and dark just before it rains. You can feel the heaviness in the air, like a thick blanket, gently warning you to stay in get cosy and warm, like something is coming... it's comforting and exciting! And then it rains, letting go of the heaviness and surrendering to the earth, a cleansing, a freeing, a breathe-out and let go. Settle in with a cup of tea and watch the raindrops, listen to the sounds, marvel in its glory and magic and just be. Ahhhh so ... Read More

I have found a pattern with learning. I take on information that I am truly passionate about and interested in well. Sometimes to the point of living through the information where it kind of starts to restrict me. Then I will swing to the complete opposite and almost unconsciously forget everything I have recently learned, reverting back to the ways before this new knowledge was discovered, usually to my surprise... I am not sure if this is a pattern of my own, or the integration process of ... Read More

For years I suffered with depression on and off. It was clinically undiagnosed because I didn’t trust the medical system (and i worked in it briefly) and refused the idea of going on any type of medication that was suggested every time I mentioned how I felt to a doctor. In my opinion, for me, medication was just a bandaid, I didn’t want a bloody bandaid. I didn’t like the idea of mainstream psychology because it was so clinical and the questions that were asked made me feel like they were ... Read More

This is a really interesting article. Very thought provoking, got my blood pumping. http://www.brainpickings.org/…/30/daniel-kahneman-intuition/ Do you not think intuition goes much deeper than compiled predictions created through processes of the mind? I’m not sure intuition is as black and white as they make it out to be - just a bunch of cognitive processes. I think there are multiple levels of ‘intuition’ and even the label does not do it justice especially in context to this ... Read More

Did you know that men’s moods are just as variable as women’s moods? But women can at least predict when their moods will be less than optimum. In a study done by a woman named Alice Dan, she measured mood every hour, every single day for 1-2 months of men and women. She found for men there is a circadian rise and crash in testosterone everyday, but the rest was kinda irregular. However, I think there are larger cycles at work here with men, perhaps greater than a month, almost quarterly, ... Read More

I have been quiet recently and it is because I have been feeling pretty disconnected and crappy in myself, lots of low self worth stuff coming up without really realising it. Every time I’ve gone to post something I’ve thought ‘what’s the point?’ I’m travelling at the moment, settling into a new space for a while and kind of put my cycle compass down for a few months. Sure, I know what phase I’m in but I have found myself asking lately ‘what does that even mean? Soooo I’m in reflective phase ... Read More
