Your Menstrual Cycle is Your Superpower!

Once upon a time, a woman’s cycle was honored as a sacred force —A cosmic rhythm that tied her to the tides, the seasons, the stars. It wasn’t a burden. It wasn’t a curse. It was a source of creation itself.

But somewhere along the way, we forgot. Or rather —We were made to forget.

The Infradian Rhythm: The Hidden Pulse of Feminine Power

Most people know about the circadian rhythm — the 24-hour cycle that governs sleep, hormones, and energy. But women have another powerful biological clock that operates on a longer rhythm: the infradian rhythm — a cycle that spans approximately 29.5 days.

This rhythm orchestrates much more than your period:

• Brain function

• Immune response

• Metabolism

• Stress response

• Reproductive health

  
  

You are not designed to feel the same every day. You are meant to flow. To shift. To evolve throughout the month.

When we live disconnected from this infradian rhythm — pushing through like we are the same every day — we create hormonal chaos, exhaustion, mood swings, infertility, and burnout.

Your infradian rhythm is not a weakness to hide —it’s an ancient power to wield.

The Disconnection: How & When It Happened

This disconnection didn't happen by accident. It was designed.

The industrial revolution prized productivity over presence. Patriarchal systems prized uniformity over intuition. Medical models were built on the male body — a 24-hour hormonal cycle — ignoring the infradian rhythm completely.

Women were expected to suppress their shifts. Medicate away their menstruation. Be linear, predictable, efficient.

Because a woman in tune with her cycle is not easy to control.

A woman who honors her rest phase does not overwork herself for approval. A woman who feels her intuitive rise does not stay silent. A woman who rides her inner seasons can no longer be domesticated to fit the mold.

The darkness is not your body. The darkness is the system that convinced you your natural rhythm was something to fear, hate, or hide.

The Truth They Forgot to Tell You

Your cycle isn't a monthly inconvenience. It's a built-in portal to power.

Each phase of your cycle brings gifts:

• Menstrual Phase (Winter): Deep intuition, inner wisdom, emotional clarity

• Follicular Phase (Spring): New beginnings, creativity, optimism

• Ovulatory Phase (Summer): Magnetic communication, vitality, leadership

• Luteal Phase (Fall): Fierce discernment, completion, boundaries

You are a living embodiment of the seasons — birthing new ideas, nurturing them, harvesting them, and letting them go. Month after month, you practice the sacred cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

There is nothing more natural. Nothing more spiritual. Nothing more unstoppable.

How to Cycle Sync & Reclaim Your Rhythm

Robin Wall Kimmerer would remind us: "Healing happens when we move in rhythm with the world, not against it."

Here's how you can begin:

✨ 1. Track Your Cycle: Write down your moods, energy levels, cravings, and insights each day. Start to notice your patterns.

✨ 2. Align Your Activities:

• Menstrual (Days 1–5): Rest, reflect, meditate

• Follicular (Days 6–13): Plan, brainstorm, start new projects

• Ovulation (Days 14–17): Collaborate, socialize, pitch ideas

• Luteal (Days 18–28): Edit, complete tasks, set boundaries

✨ 3. Nourish Accordingly: Eat warming, grounding foods during menstruation. Fresh, light foods during follicular. Anti-inflammatory support during luteal. Deep hydration and minerals during ovulation.

✨ 4. Speak Kindly to Yourself: You are not "too much."You are not "too sensitive." You are cyclical, wild, beautiful, and wise.

You were never broken.

Your body has been whispering the truth all along. The more you reconnect with your infradian rhythm —the more you remember the deep, creative, intuitive force that you are — the more you heal not just yourself, but the world.

You are the Earth. You are the Moon. You are the seasons.

You are the revolution.

And it starts with one cycle at a time.
