The Follicular Phase
{ POST FLOW }
re-emerging to the world
You're at this reset point.
Menstruation offers us
the chance to experience
another fold of time.
Now you're at the
start of a new cycle.
Go steady.
Keep the first few days free of plans if you can.

with the psychic dust
from menstruation,

Here is
where you bloom
EASE INTO IT
Your body is physically
preparing to ‘create life’
during Ovulation.
If pro-creation
is not your intention,
focus creative energy
toward work
projects
creative pursuits
anything you want
to see grow.
The Follicular Phase
is ideal for
expansive activities,
exploring ideas,
trying new things.

where to direct your energy,

A FEW IDEAS
Take regular breaks and sit in the Sun.
In fresh air.
Absorb new light codes/information/neutrinos while taking deep breaths and consciously focusing your energy on your Limbic brain.
Imagine your Pineal gland glistening and receiving insight which will be revealed in perfect timing. (i.e. when you're at your desk, pen in hand.)
Plant your bare feet on natural ground and absorb nutrients from the Earth.
Guided meditations or a short yoga practice which focuses on breathwork to oxygenate your blood stream and your mind.
Situate yourself in the present moment,
reminding yourself that there is time for everything.
Cultivate stillness
then decide
where to spend
your energy
approaching
Ovulation
To skip a head a tad,
during Ovulation
we most want to be seen/recognised —
for the beauty of our soul,
for our essence.
Biologically,
a bell is sounding
'it's nearly time'.
The energy is dynamic.
It's our creative peak.
You might feel embodied.
Emboldened.
You might find you naturally
pay more attention
to your appearance,
or notice how your energy influences others,
or maybe you want
to be seen for your creativity
or maybe you're feeling
wound up.
Give yourself the
recognition you seek
After a few cycles,
you'll start to notice
the reverberating effects
of these investments*.
That's when things get really good.
* YES. YOU'RE WORTH IT. 100%
