{ THE PEAK }
not to scale
In many ways,
Ovulation is an energetically dynamic time.
A significant amount of activity is happening
quite unconsciously.
Due to peak of Estrogen,
you might feel particularly
charged up
or
energetically
overwhelmed.
(which can potentially lead to over-assertive energy if not directed productively)
This phase asks
for a very VENUSIAN
way of moving
true to your needs,
creating an energy of heart/mind coherence.
Knowing what you VALUE
brings you closer to recognising what you NEED.
It helps you know where to spend your energy,
whether that be a
transaction of time
money
or
attention.
It also helps you recognise your energy.
When you can do that,
it's easier to determine
energy that's yours
vs.
vibes you've picked up
and
stored along the way.
{totally normal btw}
( & we can release that energy during menstruation )

* Tidbit from
Earth Queen & Naturopath Katrina Schilling - writer of the Hormones section
The Ovulation phase
sets the scene
for your state of being
3 months from now*.
If you can let yourself receive here,
you set yourself up
to win later.
[ Ovulation = creative potency
so great self care here
pays off dividends
in the long term ]
That Venusian vibe
One simple act
is to gift yourself in a completely shame free fashion.
Something which will
E N H A N C E
your life.
Relish in the state of
r e c e i v i n g
and
relinquish any
feelings of guilt
for giving yourself
what you need.
Or,
Receive
a form of body care like a massage
or acupuncture.
{or whatever you're called to]
This is not an indulgence
- it's a necessity.
Your body will register the treatment,
and adjust accordingly.
We all have needs.
When anyone
suppresses their needs,
wants,
voice,
creativity,
authenticity,
they're bound to spin out.
Spin if you need to.
Let the energy move.
Then focus on
what you want.
Redirect the energy.
You might prefer to be in
your own energy,
noticing what you're being pulled towards.
Or you might crave attention at this time.
Go absolutely toward
what magnetises you,
but bring awareness to the
peak levels of hormones in your system.
Modulating any feelings of overwhelm/
anxiousness/
or hyper-activity
with breathwork,
yoga,
or grounding practices
can help you focus
your energy
so you don't spend it loosely.
Remember you're planting
the seedsfor 3 months from now during Ovulation,
so this time is as sacred
as your bleed,
in terms of nurturing your needs,
and the creative energy
circulating within you.
You are the artist,
what will you create?
Some cycles you'll know
Ovulation has passed
because
energy plummets.
Sometimes you may feel a ‘disappointment’,
like you’ve let down the tribe
by not pro-creating.
(This is ancient,
ancestral coding in your DNA).
Sometimes how you feel is
feedback about
whether or not the creative energy during the Follicular phase was utilised/
in resonance
and how you feel about yourself as a result.
Sometimes you won't even notice this phases, and
suddenly you're halfway
through the Luteal Phase.
A general awareness
allows you to tend to your needs,
setting the scene
for future success.
[ That day post ovulation ]
You may experience flatness
(Your hormones plummet significantly)
The energy will pass.
Be easy on yourself.
Your body is telling you,
it's time to change gears.
