Welcome, to Trust The Process.
Today’s culminating episode (#9 of Season 8!) comes directly to you from the wondrous depths of my inner autumnal season - otherwise known as the Luteal phase of the Menstrual cycle.
Wholesome chats about my experience of my inner autumn this month - the first month of my life that I have shifted my view to consider my Luteal phase as the final season of my internal body clock.
This change has evoked a greater ability to sense what’s unfolding internally: beautiful shedding of deep emotion and of witnessing space being created in-between now and my bleed.
I believe that this time of our sacred menstrual cycles is a time to be solitary. I would previously have called this a time for introspection, but I no longer hold that perspective; this is a time to think less, to entertain less; to go within more but in a unique way - there is an abundance of subtle and peaceful power as we quieten the external noise and spend more time in solitude during this lucid time where the birth portal slowly comes into the vortex of our vision.
When I leave the house in these few potent days, I immerse myself in nature at the times of day that are the most liminal and allow for the deepest experience of serenity in nature. Here, loneliness dissipates and an unfounded sense of inner peace arrives as we become comfortable with the silence of our womb and the universal womb that entours us.
This is a time of transition; a time where all concept of time becomes nullified and we are handed the precious opportunity to enter, willingly, into the void that calls us. One that contains no information and where the notion of wisdom is set aside - a space of no mind and no being brews and we, as women and as nature’s women alone, are able to reside here to prepare for tranquil rebirth.
And it goes one thousand percent without saying, that my relationship, friendship and connection with Jesus Christ has enhanced this spiritual becoming to no end. All glory to Him for all days, in all ways, forevermore.
