HOW TO ALIGN YOUR LIFE TO YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE - lAND of the lAllA

We’ve grown up within a world telling us that our Menstrual cycle limits us.
We’ve been told that she’s a source of pain, anxiety & unbalance.

I want to show you that your Menstrual cycle is your biggest mentor & ally through your life.
Your Menstrual cycle is here to guide you.

She does this by creating a rhythm within you… a rhythm of 4 phases.
Menstruation, Pre Ovulation, Ovulation & Pre Menstruation.

When we live in alignment with our Menstrual cycle, & the 4 phases within it, our life is filled with self love, acceptance & inner guidance.

We no longer feel overwhelmed or lost.
Our life has a natural flow & rhythm.

 

OUR CYCLE

Our Menstrual cycle is an incredible gift that each one of us naturally has within us as women.
We just need to observe her & then align our life with her.

Each of our 4 phases brings balance to our life.
Each of our 4 phases are here to guide us.
And each of our 4 phases shows us how to THRIVE as women- within all paths of our life.

 

MENSTRUATION

We begin within Menstruation & we usually stay here for 3-7 days.
Our hormones drop to the lowest that they’ll be throughout our whole cycle, & our energy drops alongside.

We feel our body naturally move more slowly & with more awareness.
We feel ourselves pulled within ourselves & separated from the outside world.
We feel deeply intuitive, powerfully present & full of wisdom.

 

REST

This is our time to rest, recharge & rejuvenate ourselves.
As you step into a new cycle, ask yourself what do YOU need to feel rested.

REST YOUR BODY

Does your body feel exhausted?
Move with gentle awareness.
Find stillness.
Just BE.

This isn’t a time of action. This is a time of observation.

REST YOUR MIND

Does your mind feel overwhelmed?
Meditate.
Surround yourself with the gentle energy of nature.

REST YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you feel drained?
Within Menstruation, we feel the unavoidable need to abandon all of our responsibilities.
Honour it without guilt.

Rest feels something different for all of us & each cycle our needs will change.

The more that we’re able to rest while we bleed, the more that we will thrive within the phases that follow.

 

PRE OVULATION

We then move into Pre Ovulation & we usually stay here for 6-10 days.
Estrogen is gently rising & our energy gently grows alongside.

We feel ready to reconnect with the world in a curious, playful, creative & innocent way.
We feel an enthusiasm for life & its endless possibilities.
We feel cleansed with a renewed sense of being.

 

EXPLORE

This is our time to explore ourselves, our place within the world & all that surrounds us.
As you step into Pre Ovulation, ask yourself what you’d like to spend your time exploring.

EXPLORE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

We’re gifted with a precious energy at this time.
Our natural openness, curiosity & optimism means that we’re able to see incredible growth within our relationships.
Our relationships, friendships & family can truly flourish at this time. 

For me, this is the only phase where my energy is matched to my daughters. I always choose to pour myself into her at this time. It’s truly transformed our relationship.
Be conscious about who you’re inviting back into your world.
We still feel a little vulnerable to our surroundings.

EXPLORE YOURSELF

Now is our time to explore the different paths that are calling us.
This isn’t our time to commit to just one idea.
Instead, go a little down each path & see how it feels. 

 

OVULATION

Ovulation follows & we usually stay here for 3-4 days.
Estrogen is soaring & testosterone joins too. Our energy is overflowing & abundant.

We feel our energy SOAR.
We feel ready to embrace all that life has to offer.
We feel UNSTOPPABLE.

EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND YOU

We feel curious & inquisitive.
We want to explore our surroundings.
As we emerge from our cocoon of Menstruation, we see everything with fresh eyes & a new perspective.

Explore the world around you with the childlike energy that you’re gifted with.

This is our time to experience the world with the intense joy & pleasure that we’re able to receive at this time.

PLEASURE

As you step into Ovulation, ask yourself where you want to pour your abundant energy into.

PASSIONS

Everything brings us so much more joy at this time.
Whatever we usually enjoy feels so much more beautiful.
We’re full of a natural capability & an abundance of energy.
Pour it into your passions.
Our creativity comes alive. This is your time to share it with the world.

SEXUALITY

We feel like we’re flirting with life.
We feel passionate, intense & naturally confident.
We have a deep desire for connection & pleasure.
This fits beautifully into exploring our sexuality.
We feel everything so intensely & our pleasure is amplified.

PEOPLE

We feel ourselves fascinated & fully engaged with the world around us.
We crave people & it’s crucial that we surround ourselves with others at this time.
Friends. Lovers. Family. Strangers.
It’s time to share your beautiful self with the world & let them appreciate all that you are.

We are truly capable of achieving incredible things within this phase.
We are able to experience so much joy & pleasure wherever we choose to direct our energy.

PRE-MENSTRUATION

Finally, comes Pre Menstruation & we usually stay here for 10-14 days.
Progesterone rules this phase & our energy draws back inwards.

We feel ourselves begin to detach from the outside world & return back to ourselves.
We feel critical of ourselves & all that surrounds us.
We feel deeply intuitive & connected to our TRUE self.
We feel strong & assertive, yet also sensitive & vulnerable.

HONEST EXPRESSION

This is our time to honestly express our thoughts & feelings with the raw honesty that’s naturally within our voice.

As you step into Pre Menstruation, listen to yourself & then express yourself.

LISTEN TO YOURSELF

We are deeply intuitive at this time & we’re able to see what WE need.
Our Pre Menstruation is our most misunderstood phase.
The intensity of our emotions at this time is so often blamed on our hormones or PMS.
This is not true.

Everything that you’ve been pushing down & ignoring will rise to the surface & demand attention.
We have a raw, wild, uncensored internal voice.
The more that we try & ignore ourselves, the more overwhelming that this phase will become. 

When we truly listen to ourselves & follow our inner guidance, our Pre Menstruation becomes our most powerful, grounding & balancing phase. 

EXPRESS YOURSELF

You’re able to articulate your thoughts & feelings clearly within this phase.
You see your needs & you know how they should be met.
Your voice is honest, raw & direct.

This is your time to release the thoughts, words & feelings that are trapped within you.
Express yourself- in whichever way you feel called to.

When we follow our inner voice within Pre Menstruation, we are able to receive so much guidance.
When we ignore our inner voice within Pre Menstruation, life feels overwhelming & unbalanced.
The more that we ignore ourselves, the more intense this phase will feel.

MY STORY

My name is Eliza.
My Menstrual cycle used to be a constant battle in my life.

I experienced unbearable pain within Menstruation, & my Pre Menstruation was filled with an overwhelming anxiety & anger.
Like so many of us, I was told that ‘it’s just something that you have to learn to live with as a woman’.

I was then diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries but never given any help to heal.
So I took ownership of my body.
Through this long journey to heal myself, I’ve not only healed my body.
I’ve fallen in love with being a woman. 

I deeply understand my inner rhythm & have aligned my life to it.
I feel deeply connected to myself. I know the root of my emotions & I know myself at my core.
Every part of my life is now THRIVING- because of my Menstrual cycle.

My Menstrual cycle is my biggest guide, ally & mentor.
Now, I’m travelling around the world with my daughter.
We’re living in a beautiful little home in the jungle of India.
& I have the guidance of my Menstrual cycle to thank for it all.

I want to show every woman how to reclaim the sacredness of their Menstrual cycle.
We have this incredible gift within us all.
She’s just waiting for you to discover her.
