The Medicine Wheel and Your cycle

Are you familiar with the medicine wheel? I'm so excited to share this wisdom with you today!!!! I hope you find todays post truly transformational, medicinal and self empowering. As you use this wisdom each month for your cycle and your sacred time management planning, your life will absolutely become synced in awareness of the natural cycles. You will be aware of receiving assistance from our ancestors, and the wisdom of the 4 directions. I'm calling this version of the medicine wheel "The sacred law of 4 ~ The Feminine Wheel of Life"...

Before we begin it is with the deepest respect that we honour the keepers of this wisdom. We acknowledge the sacredness of this work and thank the ancient ones and the star people for making this wisdom available to us, the tribe of many colours, sacred women in service to the divine. We thank you Great Spirit Father Sky, Mother Earth & Spirit Tree for the wisdom and guidance you bestow in our hearts as we walk this sacred path of life.

The ancients used medicine created wheels as places of prayer and ceremony. Working with the 4 directions in this way brought the people of the tribe into alignment with the 4 elements, the 4 directions and Grandfather Sky, Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon & Father Sun. Inside the medicine wheel was a map of each person in the tribes birth, their shadows and their gifts & the medicine totems they needed. It brought peace to their land and ushered in powerful transformation until the white man came (or the christians in the case of the celtic people).

We are co creating life with all of nature, all of the time. Wether we are conscious of it or not, this life is a co creation. Our life is our ritual, our art and our service to the greater good of all of the cosmos. When we live our lives in this sacred way, our actions become our prayers.

It seems only fitting that our final lesson is bringing our intended lifestyle into alignment with our cycle & the cycles of life through the 5 elements. But first some history about the medicine wheel.

The medicine wheel is a symbol that represents the circle of life and death.

Historically, the monuments were constructed by laying stones in a particular pattern on the ground oriented to the four directions. Most medicine wheels follow the basic pattern of having a center of stone, and surrounding that is an outer ring of stones with "spokes" (lines of rocks) radiating from the center to the cardinal directions (East, South, West and North). (Wikkepedia)

As explained on 'Native Voices' 

The Medicine Wheel and the Four Directions

The Medicine Wheel, sometimes known as the Sacred Hoop, has been used by generations of various Native American tribes for health and healing. It embodies the Four Directions, as well as Father Sky, Mother Earth, and Spirit Tree—all of which symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life.

The Medicine Wheel can take many different forms. It can be an artwork such as artifact or painting, or it can be a physical construction on the land. Hundreds or even thousands of Medicine Wheels have been built on Native lands in North America over the last several centuries.

Movement in the Medicine Wheel and in Native American ceremonies is circular, and typically in a clockwise, or “sun-wise” direction. This helps to align with the forces of Nature, such as gravity and the rising and setting of the Sun.

Meanings of the Four Directions

Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel differently. Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) is typically represented by a distinctive color, such as black, red, yellow, and white, which for some stands for the human races. The Directions can also represent:

• Stages of life: birth, youth, adult (or elder), death
• Seasons of the year: spring, summer, winter, fall
• Aspects of life: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical
• Elements of nature: fire (or sun), air, water, and earth
• Animals: Eagle, Bear, Wolf, Buffalo and many others
• Ceremonial plants: tobacco, sweet grass, sage, cedar

The Sacred Law of 4 & The Feminine Wheel of Life 

It is made up of 4 sacred circles, that represent the circle of life, they merge together to form one beautiful flower...

The 4 directions North, South, East & West, along with the 4 elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water.. The 4 seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. As well as the 4 Archetypes; Crone, Maiden, Mother, Maga. And the 4 phases of the moon; New, Waxing, Full and Waning.

When we work with the Sacred Law of 4 we are working with the of the earth, we become finely attuned with the natural rhythms & cycles of life both within and without. This in turn brings immense harmony & insight to our earth experience. The sacred law of 4 is considered by some as earth astrology and provides a platform/map for our lives.

A medicine wheel can be created for any cycle, a year, each season, your whole life!? For this exercise we are learning how to create & work with the medicine wheel for our menstrual cycle, integrating the elements explained above. Over time you will begin to experience each of the elements in your very unique way, as you will also experience your cycle in your own very unique way.

Finding feminine consistency is less about linear schedules and more about cyclic schedules.  Creating your month according to the energies and archetypes that support your journey.  Beginning your month after your bleed with inspiration, goal setting, dreaming, building to optimize  your ovulation phase, then moving into the transformation phase where you can transform, heal and prepare for the deep let go and dreaming that happens with your cycle...  We women have super powers and when we tune into the rythms that nature intended for us we get so much more done in much less time... Creating ample time to rest, replenish, be wild, be soft, snuggle up, seduce our lover, dance in the rain, work on our project, play with our kids, and put our best foot forward... 

The point is, the feminine wheel of life is making the transition from doing it on your own, to doing it with life, with the help of the 4 directions, the Goddess, the mOon, the Sun, the Stars, and the wisdom of our bodies!

The Gift Of Easter for Earth Lovers, Christians, Jewish Queens & Pagans

This time of Easter is one of the most powerful portals for Change, Rest, Replenishment and Reflection.  

We have just celebrated the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere & Autumn Equinox in the Southern. Both are the celebration of equal light and equal dark, where we find balance within and without.

What a perfect time to pause this easter weekend, to reflect and to engage in sacred reflection. To recalibrate for the coming season of Autumn or Spring (depending where you are on the globe).

The gift of the seasons is constantly leading us deeper into the nature of the sacred feminine as the wisdom of our Earth Mumma moves through our land, our bodies and our hearts, if we stop, breathe and listen.

Last night I was reflecting on easter season & how beautifully it honours so many religions and beliefs... But you have to zoom out and see it from the view of the observer! Then you will see the gold! 

The awareness I am about to share with you got me feeling so connected to a bigger picture of ancient wisdom & I hope it gets you juicy too!

Here we go ladies, grab yourself a cuppa and lets dive in.... Easter Reset Blessings! 

 

Originally, before christianity, easter was the time when the goddess Ishtar was celebrated. She's one of the goddess's of love, sex & fertility. This explains how the rabbits and the eggs made their way into our easter baskets! Ladies of love, this is your time!

In the northern hemisphere the pagans & natives celebrate the coming of spring. It's time to plant new seeds for the coming cycle. Its a bit of a thing for the nature worshipping folk to gather baskets & fill them with bounty & decorated eggs as a symbolism and ritual that our seeds of intentions are being planted in the waking earth. It is a time to celebrate the passing of winter and the cycle of deep sleep and death. With deep gratitude for Creator for a safe and provision filled winter. The balance of dark and light has come and the new beginning of the wheel of life has started spinning!!!!

Yeaaah Haaaaa! Fill up your baskets ladies, its time to celebrate! The bunnies are a symbol of fertility, of the creative energy in our wombs. What is your deepest desire to create this cycle

For those of us who are in the northern hemisphere I encourage you this weekend to fill your metaphorical basket, to create an alter or a sacred space that represents the seeds you are planting for the year ahead. Journal and give thanks for the coming phase in the wheel of the year and write down your intention or manifestatiion list. Dream big sis I give you full permission, listen to your heart and write down anything that comes, no judgement! Then write a list of gratitude for all that has just come to pass, the lessons you have learnt this year so far, the things you have let go of to create more space for the new you to emerge.  

Need assistance creating a sacred space? You have always wanted to do it but never known where to start? Access my free course here

In the southern hemisphere we are celebrating the harvest, the passing of summer, the days are finally cooling down bringing rivers of refreshment & a welcome relief for the long steamy hot days. Its a time to celebrate the harvest, the seeds that you planted in Spring, that came to fruit in summer that you are enjoying now. Its time to pause and prepare for the winter, for the time of letting go and allowing all that is ready to die to die. Its time to prepare for the great rest. To rest, to let go so that you can fully embrace Spring when she comes forth again. The winter reflects our bleed, the time when we go within, its time to hibernate, to recharge and replenish. I encourage you to write a gratitude list, a surrender list and a sacred self care list to prepare you for your pause in the cooler months.

Easter is also a time of honouring and giving thanks for Christ Consciousness and the eternal evolution of the soul, for the gift of new beginnings. This beautiful man Jesus is honoured for all that he came to teach, for the gift of his presence that came to share. To be a Sacred Rebel & shake up the dark ages style of religeous piousness that was causing so much suffering (and still does today) ... Most of all He came to bring us back to the heart & to forgiveness.

As we pause this weekend, may it be a time of expanded hearts & offering forgiveness!

Passover is a time of gratitude for Supreme protection, the warmth of family and home and heart. Of devotion and how this drawing close to who ever you call Creator is a profound and deep protection against darkness.

Here we see the Sacred Masculine in Divine protection, forgiveness, courage, selflessness and surrender. Bringing Consciousness to our Creation. Bringing action to our dream.

So now here we are lovelies, some of us in the Northern Hemisphere, about to enter into action that the longer days bring. Some in the Southern about to enter rest that the shorter days bring. Yet all with the light of Father Sun and the provision & creation of Mother Earth guiding our hearts & our womb wisdom. Together this month and this weekend in particular we are all celebrating Sacred Union within. We honour the balance of light and dark, masculine and feminine, planting and harvesting, nurturing and letting go, working and resting.

No matter what you believe in, we can all gather so much wisdom from each others practices, we are one tribe, many beliefs and colours walking the path that is sacred to us. You are sacred to me dear sister! May your easter be truly and deeply blessed....

They are the founders of this movement really :)

free new moon ceremonies 

Sacred woman you are lunar rhythmic, meaning that you reflect the same phases as Grandmother moon... When we apply our awareness to be mindful of her cycles, we open ourselves up to powerful transformation.  Instead of continuing to push and strive and compete we can soften to our true feminine nature... The truth is we are not designed to be on all of the time... Our dreaming happens in the stillness and darkness of the dark moon as she prepares to reNEW, just as we do when we bleed... Then as she moves toward the fullness of her light (Full moon/ovulation time) the energy is up, it is renewed, there is more inspiration and energy available for projects & actualising our dreams.  This is why the dark/new moon is such a potent time to set ourselves up for the month ahead and to get to know the rhythms of our feminine bodies more... If this resonates with you here is a gift to get you in the flow with Grandmother moon... Lunar Rhythmic Woman Planner & New Moon Planner  that will help you prepare for our ceremony each month.
