Wild Earth Wisdom

May 2025 Newsletter

Happy Beltane! May your day be filled with sensual pleasure.

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 fourth and final phase of woman’s cycles. If you are new to my community, you can find the old ones on my website (down at the bottom of the page). That way you will have the information to all the phases.

Cycle Phase Information

Luteal Phase

Whether you are in your cycling days or even going through peri/menopause and beyond.)-Days 1-14 or new moon to full moon (if you no longer bleed)-pumpkin and flax seeds (1 TB each/ day). Day 15-30 or full moon to new moon (if you no longer bleed)-sunflower and sesame seeds (1TB each/day).
