What can synchronization with the Moon give?

My experience, cyclicality and women

One day, I decided to conduct an experiment for myself: 30 days in synchrony with the lunar cycle, each of its days and phases.

Every day I familiarized myself with the energy, sign, and phase of the lunar day. And here are my conclusions.

Productivity Cycle

For a long time, I have been trying to adjust my work processes as gently as possible for myself. To rest on time and act on time. The phases of the moon and my menstrual cycle helped me with this.

Moon Phases and Work

I set my work rhythm along with the 4 phases of the moon:

→ New Moon - the beginning of a new cycle, I set goals, plans and intentions for the next lunar cycle;

→ First quarter - the most active phase, where I take planned steps to achieve the goal;

→ Full Moon - I reap the fruits of my actions, gradually slowing down;

→ Third quarter - a gentle conclusion and reflection on the work done.

Transition from linear to cyclical

The moon helps you make the transition. Even when the whole world is screaming that you need to work and your importance is measured by your productivity.

Linear:

  • Expecting yourself to have a stable energy level
  • Focus on achievement and productivity
  • No permission to rest
  • Tension and a sense of rush

Cyclic:

  • Watching for peaks and troughs in energy
  • Focus on a balance between activity and rest
  • Rest is an important part of progress
  • You know that there is a time for everything

Synchronicity, or Miracles

When you go through all the phases with the moon, you begin to notice how everything is connected. Your projects and affairs get a powerful start and a logical conclusion. I lost the sense of rush, because I began to understand that there is a time for each stage and I don’t have to have everything in time.

Things happen to me that correspond to the theme of the lunar day, according to the symbols. Then this trend continues even when I read the description of the lunar day in the evening.

Moon Woman

What happens if you stop going against your nature?

The female menstrual cycle and the lunar cycle carry the same idea.

Everything in nature has its time for active growth and nourishing rest. You are nature.

I would be grateful if you would share your thoughts on this 🤲🏻✨

Much of what I read regarding lunar cycle observation - both here and elsewhere - assumes that the a woman is still menstruating. I would like to discuss how the moon cycle is - or isn’t - more powerful for those of us who no longer menstruate. Would welcome a healthy exchange on this topic. Thank you.

Hi Sarah, I like this idea/ suggestion for discussion. I also guess I don’t see it as an “assumption” that we are all menstruating. I believe women, even those who are no longer menstruating, or have become super irregular (such as my self at 45yrs old), are still no doubt imprinted by the cyclical nature of our periods. It is the essence of being a woman and is part of our core long before we start as young maidens and well after we stop as crones. Maybe it is even more crucial and beneficial to try to connect to the cyclical energy of the moon as we age and drift from the physical cycles within our bodies.

Thank you for bringing up such important topic 🙏🏻 For me it’s not only about the fact of physical menstruation when I talk about connection with the Moon. I think of energies, cycles and philosophy here. Even for those who don’t bleed anymore or don’t have a womb it can be powerful as well. Also I consider moon cycles in this case as something you can rely on. Listening to your body and moon phases on when to rest and when to be more active. We still flow through cycles of nature, seasons and planets. Our relationship with it may change, but truth behind it stays the same.

I often imagine what society would look like today, had we stuck with the lunar cycle way of living like the ancients used to.

Mmm. I grieve with you as well. But aIso I remind myself that humanity had to forget mother nature, feminine power and cycles in order to remember now. I find comfort in trusting that everything had a reason. 🧝🏻‍♀️

This is so great! I’ve been wanting to move into this kind of planning around my moon cycle as well 💚✌🏽

Lindsay, it’s so brave of you to change this fundamental part of your life🧝🏻‍♀️ I could endlessly go on about how our calendar system was made to cut us off from planetary cycles and I hope we can all return to our true selves through remembering 🧚🏻
