Wild Earth Wisdom

February 2025 Newsletter

I had a client ask me at one of my somatic practices if I could write out a document to pass out at my classes with all the information I give during the class.  She said she wanted to follow a cyclical way of living but had a hard time remembering all the details. I decided to include the information in this newsletter.  I hope it encourages all women to live cyclically and I hope it helps.  Always remember to listen to your body and if you feel this information goes against what your body is telling you then do what your body says.  Also, if you are only reading my emails for my juicy self-care offerings, then scroll down to the bottom.  Lots of upcoming self-care ahead.  Without further ado here is the first phase of woman’s cycles.  The rest will come out in the following newsletters.  

Cycle Phase Information

Menstrual Phase

 Inner winter, new moon, crone, release and rebirth ~ days 1-6.  This is a good time to slow down and cleanse our bodies.  Skip the gym this week.  Also consider skipping alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fatty foods.  *Tip- keep uterus and feet warm during this phase.  Wear socks, slippers.  No crop tops.  Heating pads, warming blankets on feet or uterus are helpful.
