"Women are cyclic creatures, rising and ebbing
to the tune of the Moon and the flow of the waters. Through the blood cycle,
women have direct experience of the rhythm of nature and her seasonal cyclic
dance.
Ovulation and Menstruation form a monthly wave of changing
experience and energies, similar to the moon in its journey from new to full
then back to dark again. Measuring time with our natural body clock, we deepen
our experience of the mysteries of life and death. The Moon with her constantly
changing ways teaches us that life is always changing, growing, blossoming,
transforming, dying and being reborn.
By using a calendar to tune into, record and take an interest in yourself,
a very healing and enriching process is begun. Every month with menstruation,
women have an inbuilt time to clear the past, assess the present and prepare
for the future. Pre-menstrual Syndrome is a symptom of modern times as women
have become out of touch with their bodies, the Moon and their own creative
power. Menstruation is a woman's friend, a blessing in disguise, a time of
power where we can gather our wisdom by taking time out to go within."
The image to the left is a Wombmoon Calendar that Felicity created to assist women to chart their cycles. Alas she no longer produces these particular calendars but yOni has found an excellent replacement in Shekhinah Morgan's Menstrual Calendar Wall Chart and her Moon Diary both now available through yOni for 2002.
During her research on menstruation and fertility Felicity
has discovered some fascinating information about a
lunar cycle which appears to influence a womans fertility. She has also
started yOni's Menstrual Tips page. Have a look
and add your own.
