Did you know that women’s cycles are affected by the moon? The moon’s cycle and our womanly cycles were once the same. They have a lot more in common than you might realize. In the past periods were something to be celebrated but now they are no more than a setback or nuisance to women.

Many many years ago, women believed that her period was her key to the power of creation and even now, it still is. Each part of your period holds meaning and some of those meanings are quite fascinating.

The Spiritual Schedule of Your Period Cycle:

Day 1: Beginning Phase

During this phase, you have begun something new. You are letting go of the old and moving forth just as you would in a new moon. Anything that no longer serves you is melting away and in this case, that would be the lining without your lady bits. You are making room for new energies to come forth.

Days 2-7: Bleeding Phase

During this phase, you are dispelling all of that which you no longer need. You are perhaps uncomfortable but content. You will be feeling quiet and most likely not want to be disturbed, rightfully so. Once you reach the last day of this you will begin to feel much more vulnerable but still ready to face the world.

Days 8-14: Ovulation Phase

During this phase, you are at your highest energy point. This is the peak of your inner creativity as your body is close to or at peak ovulation. You may feel as if you are on top of the world whether you’re being sexual or not. You will really be putting yourself out there.

Days 15-21: Harvest Phase

During this phase, you will be really letting things wind down back to normal. You will be in a time of reflection. Whether you feel good or bad depends on where you are in your life and what you want out of your body. You during this phase learn a lot about yourself.

Days 22-28: The Preparation Phase

During this phase, you will feel a lot of things. You will be finding clarity all over again and beginning another cycle. This phase is one that many overlook but it is something that really holds a lot of energy. Anything that you know is unneeded you begin to see clearly.

Whether you love or hate your period, these things still reign true. It is something that a lot of people don’t realize holds spiritual ties. It is truly a sacred cycle.
