Seed Cycling :: Learn to balance your hormones

Girlfriends of all ages, shapes, and sizes, menstruating, peri & post-menopause. It’s time to get on the seed cycling bus! Our beautiful bodies need the right balance of nutrients for optimum health and vitality.

For women who are peri & post-menopause, or if your cycle has been wonky donks and you have no idea how long your cycle is, begin with the new moon. If you don’t know when the new moon is and would like to start aligning your life with the moon, sign up for my free lunar planner here.

Sisters on a regular cycle of 25 to 30 days begin on the first day of your bleed (Day 1). Seed cycling will support and assist your womb to shed the uterine lining when you menstruate and put the right juice into your ‘hormone distribution centre’ helping with premenstrual tension, mood swings and chronic pain.

Stick with it for 3 moon cycles to see results luscious ladies!! Instructions are below.

hormone Balance with The Moon & Seeds ::

New Moon: Days 1-14/15 — Follicular Phase

Day 1 of your cycle is the day that menstruation begins, or you first notice bleeding. For peri or post-menopause go by the moon phases. This two-week period (depending on the length of your cycle) is called the Follicular phase. The first phase of your cycle, from the first day of menstruation through ovulation or days 1 - 14/15 of the lunar phase, is when your estrogen levels increase and is the predominant hormone in your body. The combination of pumpkin seeds and flax seeds provides the body with an effective hormonal balance, the lignans in flax bind to estrogen and help to eliminate it from the body. The pumpkin seeds aid your body in the production of progesterone which is released in the luteal phase of your cycle, pumpkin seeds are high in zinc which is essential for progesterone distribution & healthy tissues (yep skin baby).

Flax and pumpkin seeds are a rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Ommmmega 3’s nourish your brain and nervous system, increase immunity, reduce inflammation & promote a healthy vascular system (healthy heart)

Full Moon: Days 15-28/29 — Luteal Phase

During the second phase of your cycle; days 15/16 - 28/29 estrogen levels decline and progesterone levels rise, aka the Luteal Phase. As the hormones shift from Ovulation to the Luteal phase (your uterine lining begins to prepare for menstruation) Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds support biological balance, which is essential coz supported womb’s = supported womban. 

Sesame seeds also help the body eliminate excess estrogen. They are rich in selenium and zinc; boosting progesterone and fatty acids, stabilizing progesterone and estrogen as your uterus disseminates.

Why is it so important to eliminate excess estrogen? Build-up of excess estrogen makes it very hard for your womb to bleed and shed the nest she built to create a baby should she be fertilized during ovulation. When your body recognized she hasn’t conceived, she begins to unbuild the nest (Luteal phase; your wombs autumn). Fibroids, brown blood & painful periods can be an indicator that your uterine lining is needing assistance to shed effectively. If you have these symptoms, book an appointment with your G.P and get on the seed cycling bus ASAP. Also, yoni steaming is an ancient practice of steaming your lady landscape to help relax and heal the womb space. Our womb carries information from the previous 7 generations & past lovers. This is why these practices are essential for our well-being.

How to cycle yo’ seeds :: How to make seed cycling your bitch!

Days 1-14/15 (New Moon), 1 tablespoon each of Flax and Pumpkin Seed — Use a mason jar and measure out the amount of seeds you’ll need for the next 14 (ish) days, depending on your cycle. Grind the seeds in a nutribullet or coffee grinder & add into your smoothie, fave smoothie, salad, soup or kitchari (kitchari is a winner for balancing the dosha’s).

Days 15-28/29 (Full Moon), 1 tablespoon each of Sesame and Sunflower Seed — do the same thing when you ovulate or during the full moon to prepare for the next 2-ish weeks.

Virgo ~ You are the Priestess

Ahhh Virgo, the celestial virgin.  Did you know that a virgin is a woman unto herself?  No, she is not a woman who has not been penetrated sexually, a good little girl who is saving herself for a man because that's what the church is preaching!!  She is a woman who is owned by no man/woman, her focus is on being a clear vessel through which celestial energies can flow in service to collective consciousness, freedom, universal wisdom teachings & the return to unity through reembodying the feminine cycles as a way of being.  She chooses her path and does not allow her entanglements with others to impact her channel of clarity.  Her intergalactic telephone to the Divine through her vagina & her womb is her own and she owns her pleasure!... Yes, her sacred pussy belongs to her and her alone!

Here we enter the realms of the Priestess, the one who is the gatekeeper to the temple of your soul & your most vital energy.  In the medicine woman tarot the card that rules Virgo is the ‘Guide’.   It is no coincidence that the Priestess is one who guides her family, her community and the collective back to living in harmony with the cycles of the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and the sky.  Learn how to connect more with the way earth in her cycles & your body… Get my free lunar planner here

She is the one who guides us to live a pleasure-filled life, to change our vocabulary from ‘should to could’ from ‘outside to inside’ and start living our lives from a place that is soul lead rather than striving on the wheel of survival.  

While our beloved sun is in Virgo we are being invited to ask the question

“Am I defining myself by what I DO? or am I embodied in my sense of BEING?”

 

We currently live in a world where we are being constantly bombarded with the next thing that we need to achieve or obtain to be ‘enough' (even in the spiritual community).  Newer, better, faster, stronger, it’s fucking exhausting!!!! How can we possibly ever feel enough when being enough is defined by what we DO and the marker moves just when you feel like you have almost reached it?!  This erroneous way of living has overtaken our ability to feel connected to who we really are and now we have an epidemic of people who are lost, lonely and numb hiding behind titles, trophies, social status, goals and plans.  

So how do we begin to make the jump from human doing, to human being?

Change what defines you.

There is a profound truth in this universe, that life is energy, it cannot be reversed or destroyed.  My friend, YOU are energy, which means you are an eternal being.  This means that your true work is on the inside.  Beauty is an inside job, perfection is an inside job, success is an inside job.  These are the only things you will take with you when you leave this life, the ones that money cannot buy.  To know freedom is to know that your life is your gift and your choice and you can’t get it wrong, you can just improve it by making different choices, to leave a legacy that is waaaay more valuable than gold.  The legacy of your being, being connected to life, being courageous, being kind, being the light in the darkness, being powerful to say 'no more' when the crazy bit giant companies want to rape and pillage our earth and put gas lines in her waterways.  

What legacy are you leaving behind?  What will the generations after you say about the person (being) that you are today?

 

‘I AND MY HIGHER SELF ARE ONE.  I STAND ALONE IN PERFECT EASE AND CONFIDENCE LIGHTING THE WAY FOR OTHERS WHO COME BEHIND ME’

The ‘GUIDE’ card is also the ‘HERMIT’ card in some decks, *the hermit within you is hidden away in the dark recesses of your being waiting for the guide to light the way on the path to the Great Being *.  There is a great teacher within you, a guide, a priestess, a seer that knows things that your conscious mind has long forgotten.  Are you ready to call hir forward?  As the sun graces us with the information (through light codes)  we are being encoded in the very fabric of the priestesses return.  We are being invited, urged, to take the climb up the mountain into our Great Being.

The Guide card is number 9 in the tarot, 9 is the number of completion.  When we arrive in Virgo we have completed a cycle, we have created a foundation (remember the seed in the wind in Aquarius?)   We have planted the seed, gathered the resources, sought wisdom and guidance about the next step to take (Pisces), relished in the bounty of Mother Earths provision, taken command to take action (Aries) (maybe you booked into that course, or started your biz, or booked that trip?)  We made courageous choices to bring more peace into our lives  in Taurus,  embodied the gift of conscious communication & sacred union in Gemini,  we stood firm in what we believe, knowing that we are the warrior king/queen we took control of our emotions and redefined our true success in cancer, we had our ass kicked during the eclipse season & experienced deep healing (Leo) and now we have a full power foundation from which to complete this phase of our journey.  To take the hand of the guide and be lead into the true essence of our being, where we can rest in the gift of simply being.  What foundations have you created in recent months that you can now build the next phase of your life from?  Perhaps you have been learning from the school of hard knocks, but your learning honey and there is GOLD in there!

Perhaps this completion is a feeling of knowing that home is the temple within you, where you go to meet with the entire universe.  A drawing within to be nourished, to drink deeply of the Well of Divine Inspiration.   *Your goal has become intimacy with Source, and you know that you and the Great Being are one.*  A wave of supreme security has washed over you as you enter into the greatest romance you will ever embark on.  

Take a moment to reflect upon the books, people, guidance, divine appointments (often called coincidence) that have occurred this year?  Have you been listening to the message in the gifts that have come your way?  Can you see a thread woven into your life?

*In simplicity and humility your essence of true being dwells.  You will feel hir calling you there.* 

What is stopping you from answering the call?  

What is your mind telling you needs to be done right now? Simply write a quick list, so you can get to it later.  Take 10 mins (10 hrs if you can!) and follow the call into simplicity, there you will find true rest.  There you will find the wisdom, there you will find the priestess, dripping with the sacred nectar of the Divine Feminine.  She sings the songs of the moon, relishes in the medicine of the plants, enjoys orgasmic bliss, feels the kiss in the wind and the wetness of the waters of life between her thighs.  She knows that her womb is the portal to the entire universe, and her pleasure is her gateway there.  

She stands at the door and knocks…. Do you hear her?  Will you answer her call?

Take one step today.  Give yourself permission to seek Great Being(ness) with all of your heart.  

This is your legacy dear one, this is your heart xxxx

Invitation to Cyclic Living

Podcast Episode Number 1

I created this invitation in the rainforest in Costa Rica when I was living with the beautiful Melissa & her son. This is an invitation to live your life in alignment with the cycles, which is one pillar in my Sovereign Woman Temple Journey. Knowing where we are in our cycle, and in the cycles of the celestial bodies is essential for sensitive women who often get caught up in other people’s needs and visions. When we know how to co-create WITH nature and live in harmony with the innate rhythms of our body, we are truly and deeply present to what is, and what is not.

Enjoy the rainforest sounds, brought to you from the Costa Rican jungle! Yeeeow xxx
