Today we’re continuing our series about the limits of the four inner seasons of the menstrual cycle, and exploring these limits less as a problem that needs to be fixed, and more as a gateway to accessing the power of each cycle phase.
So far we’ve discussed the pre-ovulation and ovulation phases - inner spring and summer - and it’s time for us to get into the premenstrual phase, which is a cycle hotspot for many of us.
Alexandra and Sjanie describe their own experience of the core limit of inner autumn, the reduction in energy and capacity, which can create a kind of reactive, hyper-critical sharpness in our minds and we become attuned to what isn’t working around us. In other words, everything becomes so annoying, and it’s very hard not to tell everyone around us just how annoying they are.
We explore how, when we slow down in ourselves and honour this natural limit, we’re more able to access the benefit of this mental sharpness, in the form of a profound kind of discerning truth-telling and intuitive knowing.
