Should I Bleed With The Full Moon Or New Moon

In this podcast I discuss bleeding in tune with The Moon and how we can access our own answers. As we awaken to the sheer magic of our menstrual cycle, many of us wonder when the ‘right’ time to bleed is in relation to The Moon phases. 

This is totally understandable,  and after centuries of estrangement from our Power, we want it back, we want it now! But patience, listening and detaching ourselves from the should’s and shouldn’ts are just another aspect of the process of empowerment. 

And whenever we experience a Should or Shouldn’t – we can utilise it to point us towards our Truth. Listen to the end for an exercise to help you tune into what your cycle is currently communicating.

What Is Womb Healing?

To heal our womb means to dissolve all the ‘stuff’ we’ve been holding in there, restore its true purpose and reconnect the whole womb centre with the rest of our system. To do this we need to consider 5 aspects: the physical womb, the metaphysical womb, unification of masculine and feminine, the collective womb, detox and nutrition.
