The Dos and Don’ts of the Four Phases
Did you know that women cycle through 4 phases each month? If you're menstruating, you follow your menstrual cycle and if you're not menstruating, you follow the moon cycle.
Did you also know that men follow these same four phases but in 24 HOURS??
Did you also know that women, for years and years and years, have been attempting to manage their energy in this same 24 hour rotation of the 4 phases? Our world is designed to cater to a man's cycle.
It's the 9-5 jobs, the zero variation workouts, menus, and more.
It's why we, as women, are burning to a crisp. It's why one day you feel like superwoman and like you can accomplish anything. And then the next day you have zero confidence and you're questioning everything you've done in life and then the next day you're an emotional wreck.
(heading 2) There is NOTHING wrong with you. Your energy is simply out of alignment.
The four phases of the feminine cycle are an amazing way to become more aligned with our own energy. We have been wired to work against this energetic flow, it can feel counterintuitive to figure out how to align with you.
And then even if you want to, it’s hard to know where to begin.
