If you're reading this, my guess is you're likely already aware that your menstrual cycle is something you can cultivate a generative relationship with.
In the process of getting to know our cycles (whether through pure observation, actively tracking signs and symptoms and/or embodying cyclical living practices), we gain valuable understanding of what our bodies are telling each month during our cycling years.
And even after we travel through perimenopause and into menopause and beyond, we're still impacted by the cycles of the moon and the seasons.
According to today's guest, Rachael Amber, "anchors" are really anything that we can return to over time, to check in with, to know is there even when things feel hard or unknown.
They help us to ground - even in the midst of change.
And Rachael has created a couple of powerful tools that can support you to find the "anchors" in your own life, in creative and reflective ways.
One of those tools is the Cycles Journal, which is an annual publication that encourages cycle tracking, physical/mental/emotional symptom tracking, and alignment with the moon phases and solar and lunar astrology.
It's a beautiful way to engage more fully with your own internal menstrual cycle and/or the cycles of the moon and the earth.
There is power in observing what your body is telling you and how that relates with the seasons and cycles outside of you too.
Rachael is also currently creating a whole tarot deck that explores the interconnectedness of our bodies and the natural world.
We talk about all of this, the creative process, the ways that cycle tracking supported Rachael's mental and menstrual health and so much more.
Listen to learn:
- why Rachael considers "anchors" to be a key to navigating life's uncertainty
- the story of how Cycles Journal came to be
- how moon cycles and solar + lunar astrology can enhance cycle tracking
- the gift of observing patterns in your body/mind/spirit month after month
- how personal healing is integral to collective healing
- a little on the forthcoming Embodied Ecosystems Tarot Deck
