116. Cycle Syncing with Fertility Awareness - Improve your fertility with cyclical alignment

This week on the podcast I share about using cycle syncing in conjunction with FAM charting. I love how Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes the ebbs and flows that women experience within their bodies as cyclical beings.

'…the feminine blossoming energy that belongs to us and that comes to us in cycles, ebbing and returning to us on a regular basis as psychic spring follows psychic winter. Without the renewal of this flowering impulse in our lives, hope is covered over, and the earth of our minds and hearts remains in an unmoving state.’ – CPE

Cycle syncing involves tracking the shifts and changes in the cycle as they relate to the changes women experience in their mood and energy levels. Checking in with these rhythms allows us the opportunity to check in with what are sweet bodies are asking us for.

I am sharing about the archetypal cycle and this may of may not align with the way in which YOU feel during the different phases of your own cycle. Many women do align with this archetypal pattern, but many others don't. The purpose of cycle syncing is to observe what's showing up for YOU and showing up for yourself accordingly.

The 5 phases of the menstrual cycle -

• Bleeding phase - Winter's cozy energy that calls us to move inward and check in with ourselves in a deeper way.

• Follicular phase - Spring time energy of improved creativity and tendency to engage in new projects and have lots of new, fresh ideas.

• Ovulatory phase - Summer time outward expression, increase in social energy, libido increase, expansive nature.

• Luteal phase week 1 - Subtle decline in energy, inward direction and a tying up of loose ends.

• Luteal phase week 2 - Desiring more alone time, preparing for the next bleeding phase with cooking, cleaning and organizing, a nesting type of energy.

When we have this as our background, it can allow us the permission to care for ourselves in ways that are most supportive of our health. There are certainly times in life that it's not possible to live according to your cyclical rhythm and I cover some considerations on that in this episode as well.
