Living Cyclically

In this episode, co-hosts Jennifer and Katrina talk about what it means to live a cyclical life, how living cyclically relates to the Divine Feminine, the balance of feminine and masculine energies within us, and more!

5:55 - Jenn talks about how sun cycles (the season) are related to community.

7:45 - Jenn shares about the “red cycle” and the “white cycle.”

8:30 - Katrina ponders if her womb healing journey has affected the timing of her cycle.

9:00 - “If you bleed on the new moon, it’s very much inviting you to connect with yourself. Whereas if you bleed on the full moon, or close to the full moon, that means that you are the midwife. Which means that your job is to help other women, support other women, and be a healer to others.” - Jenn

11:00 - Katrina shares her traumatic experience with an IUD.

14:00 - “We need to normalize talking about our cycles.” - Jenn

16:20 - Katrina & Jenn talk about societal conditioning and how it has caused the under-valuing of rest. “Rest is something that is valuable whether or not you feel good.”

“It devalues the feminine.”

17:50 - Discussion about the systems of patriarchy and capitalism and how that has affecting our views as a collective about rest.

“The Western culture of ‘You are only as valuable as you are productive’ is super damaging because it teaches us that we have to be productive in order to be worth anything as a human being.” - Jenn

“The feminine has the wisdom to understand that, yes, maybe you can feel joy from spending money and consuming things, but you can also feel so much happiness from being with your friends, being with your family, going out in nature, singing, dancing, enjoying life.” - Jenn

19:11 - “As the feminine, we can start reclaiming this idea that we don’t need anything to be happy, and that we can enjoy rest and enjoy leisure, and that these are things that are important to us. When we start prioritizing these things again, we are taking the power away from the system and giving ourselves the power.” - Jenn

23:00 - Jenn shares suggestions about things you can do to live cyclically, more in sync with your cycle or the moon cycles.

26:00 - Katrina shares how she is scheduling her calendar to honor her phases.

30:56 - “It's like giving yourself the gift of time to devote to what makes your heart happy.” - Katrina

32:28 - “Take it (PMS symptoms) as a signal or a wonderful reminder to center yourself amidst the chaos.” - Jenn

“The feminine can be like water, and a lot of times it can need a container in order to be able to flourish to be in its full expression.” - Jenn, about the time of inner fall/the waning moon/the luteal phase.

36:50 - Jenn shares about how your ability to release and let go can impact the next cycle. Karina shares about a fantastic practice she learned about how you can give your period a “job” to release something symbolically with the shedding of the blood.

39:00 - Jenn shares how the inner fall (luteal phase) is the time of wild woman energy.

42:00 - “This is your time of input, this is your time to receive.” - Jenn speaking about the menstrual phase/new moon/inner winter.
