Episode 31: Time for a big bleed! Why we need rest to tap into our creative power.
This podcast is my expression of yearning to come home to the creative power of my female body and I am so excited to share my lived experience with you and invite you to join this movement. And in todays episode I share with you how, oh Sister, I have been on an adventure called "doing nothing and harvest it all" - yes, a big break, a big bleed was calling me home, it was so bloody hard and so fantastic!
This solo episode is about the power of rest and darkness and how we need to be in our dark spaces to meet our true power!
Our bodies are cyclical, each month we experience an expansive phase and a phase of retrieving back home, an inhale phase and an exhale phase. I dismissed the second half of my cycle for many years, neglecting all desires to rest, to take a break and harvest its gifts. I kept doing, running, always chasing - and joined our common tendency of being what I call an inhale society! I still was quite successful but not very fulfilled, and the more I wondered how can I be successful and fulfilled, the more rest and breaks were calling me home … and I feel to share with you today an experience which for me is the answer to this question. I did my first big bleed and I would love to share with you the gifts I harvest in that time. And also the challenges I met.
In this conversation I share with you:
About my first BIG BLEED experience, the gifts I harvested and the challenges I met along the way.
Why it is crucial to emergence into our rest as we softly rebelliously reclaim the creative power of our female body and how monthly big bleeds can be the doorways to live a successful AND fulfilled life!
About the power of meeting the darkness of our womb and how the time of menstruation can the time where you are the closest to your body and your inner wisdom and intuition!
