(Estrogen levels)
Ovulation
YOU ARE HERE
Luteal Phase
The Luteal Phase
is a come-down of sorts.
You’re switching up from one way of being
to something else
entirely.
HORIZONTAL
ENERGY EXERTION EXAMPLE
Energy comes in bursts
thanks to a surge of testosterone produced
during Ovulation.
The testosterone helps with
analytical tasks and can help check off work
and tie off loose ends.
Save admin/bookwork for energy bursts in
the Luteal Phase.
i.e.
⚡ editing
⚡ personal accounting
⚡ reviewing
⚡ administatrative tasks
⚡ organisation / planning
⚡ consolidation
⚡ decision making
Keep in mind,
energy will peak and trough,
so even one task completed
in a day is a major feat.
The rest of the ‘work’ is expressed through ‘life’ work, like cleaning the house,
running errands,
tending to relationships
as well as your own
energy field maintenance.
You're transitioning
between the external world
and
your inner world.
< You
subconscious.
INTERNAL
conscious.
EXTERNAL
Less
Consistent energy. Some days - no work at all — zero other days — everything flows and boom, you’re ahead.
Chats/small talk. Sensitivity increases as body is peaking with hormones.
It’s guiding you to feel in to your somatic (body) and psychic (vibration) messages
Feeling energetic aversions like tightening of muscles/constriction of breath/clouded head around people/places etc can indicate a message you need to hear.
Work. Priorities shift and your mental state and energetic honouring become more important than the needs of others. Working from home can be very
advantageous during this phase if you can swing it.
Social energy. If you’re inclined, plan/push social/networking activities for the next Follicular phase, rather than forcing yourself through it.
Gifting yourself this is an act of self love.
More
Psychic perception.
Ability to enhance mundane tasks from chores into beautiful yet efficient experiences;
i.e. going out somewhere comfortable and
aesthetically pleasing to do invoices/accounts or setting the scene at home with essential oils, tea, music and something to look forward to helps wrap up those last projects.
Comfort. Comfort is key in all things.
You time. Feel into your aura — if it’s clouded by your own concerns, or others concerns of you, ‘you-time’ needs to be increased. Your energy isn't necessarily 'unlimited here' and resting IS progress.
You kinda need to make yourself a promise you'll adjust gears when required.
i.e. when you noticing you're forcing
Once you remove
any inward resistance
to this different pace,
giving yourself space
all these channels
open up within.
Details become clear.
It may take time.
Luteal Phase
summary over
time
It's a process.
With regular tuning to your flow
(and not denying your energy levels)
you become a clearer channel.
You begin to 'know' your energy.
And
your relationship
to your intuition improves.
Limbic Brain
Bring attention here
As energy becomes more
internal / reflective
psychic impressions increase.
You're consciously
receiving
insights from your subconscious.
You may see more in pictures,
download scenarios as complete packages,
receive action steps clear as day, or simply have less mental chatter as you detach
from direct involvement,
(less output, more input)
(i.e. self care).
In this adjusted pace,
you start seeing things from
this altered point of view.
You can look over
actions/scenarios
from previous phases
and view them from
an editing/refinement perspective.
Schedule time for
alpha wave moments
Honouring these appointments brings about a sense of
self-appreciation,
for giving you time to be you, however you are.
Scheduling 'free-time'
is an act of re-investment.
The dividends are significant.
Moments like this
establish a connection
with your intuition.
Many portals open
when you create the space
to receive the directions.
Cleansing as you clean
The Luteal Phase is
a pre-nesting phase.
The act of clearing your space,
moving the energy
and ridding energetic clutter
can change the field you exist in and clear the space
for new ideas to come through from your subconscious.
This work,
when done with presence,
can clear energetic channels
within you too.
Intend to release both inner and outer clutter as you clean.
Once you've cleared the space,
notice the energetic difference.
Be open to
(and prepared for)
brand new inspiration
to flood through
the emptiness created.
Take the time to bask
in the beautification process.
Connect to your
free-spirited nature
Dance, move, sing,
bend, run free.
Skip work.
Cast intentions.
There's a lot of magic in you
that probably has been
untapped for various reasons.
Here, we re-connect.
We see the magic
in and around us.
In nature, in people,
in ourselves.
Anchor these moments
into your being
with presence and attention
so they multiply.
Express the magic,
experience it.
Be grateful for it.
What would you do
with your free time,
if you trusted that
while you rest,
the Universe is taking care of it's part of the co-creation process?
What would you create
just for you,
just because you
want to see it emerge.
Let yourself act differently.
Let yourself see
outside of your patterns,
from a higher perspective.
Let yourself be free.
Trusting you.
The Luteal Phase somehow provides this ideal chemical (hormonal) balance so that we can see
what's working
and what's not.
It may not make sense,
it may not be
what we want
to see or hear,
but the information
is incredibly valuable
if we slow down enough
to notice.
Take notes for later.
You don't need to
process it all.
Just be open and receptive.
You may be directed places and experience synchronicity.
You may receive a cledon
as you walk down the street.
In time,
you'll definitely reinforce the knowing that as you honour the magic in you,
you start to see it in
your outer world.
As menstruation
approaches:
PREPARE THE NEST
Clean all softpants/lounge wear.
Stock up on the good smells/
the good food
(Menstrual = Sensual]
Make monotonous tasks beautiful
(like going somewhere nice to do your books, or working from home with comforting scents and nature breaks.
FEEL SOMATIC SENSATIONS
Do your ovaries feel blocked?
Are you tense in the hips?
The inner thighs?
We store a LOT of emotions here
(in our roots)
Hone in on the sensations,
because any images,
scenarios,
thoughts that arise
could be indicating
what would be good to release this cycle
(or at least begin the process)
CLEAR SCHEDULE
Can it wait a week?
If you can clear your schedule for menstrual week,
or even parts of it
which require lot of
energetic output,
you give yourself time to expand into your inner world.
INFORM ALLIES
Tell those to whom
it is relevant that you might be more internal/contemplative
(if that is the vibe for you)
to avoid miscommunication/
unnecessary conflict.
REDUCE INTAKE
of content telling you who you are
or where you could be.
Your presence is needed
with your body
at this time.
There are messages
waiting to come through.
It takes both
focus and surrender
to navigate the
Luteal phase consciously.
Compassion too.
If you’ve tended to yourself,
listening to requests for rest and
honouring your need
to do things at
your own speed,
you might find
you no longer
unconsciously —
or consciously —
push people away
in order to create
some space around you
in the days preceding
menstruation.
You might also find
that tuning into the nuances of your authentic rhythm,
brings a sense of
relaxation to the body,
reducing tension
leading up to
menstruation.
Feeling that..
