Women’s cycle awareness is the awareness that women operate in a monthly cyclical rhythm called the infradian rhythm. Yes, it has a name. The infradian rhythm is the hormonal clock that causes shifting energies every week of our monthly cycle. These four unique weeks match up to the yearly seasons and moon phases. It’s like we have a seasonal weather map written into our biology. Why haven’t we been taught this from puberty? I honestly don’t know.
If you are no longer bound by the menstrual phase(post menopause), follow along using the moon phases to keep yourself and your energies in rhythm.
To keep us all on track here is the quick refresher:
