Healing, Acceptance and Love with the Moon
This week saw me enter into a new field of deep healing.
A healing from within that I didn’t know was needed or even available to me, yet it called to me so loudly that I couldn’t ignore. As the New Moon entered into its full height of magic and connection, I began my own moon cycle filling me with so much joy.
In this moment everything felt completely aligned, it was the new moon, I was bleeding and it was day one of my new round of flower essence. To me this was everything I had been craving and creating on a soul, heart, womb connection level for years and it was now occurring ever so naturally.
Earlier this year I removed all forms of contraception from my body as it no longer felt right to hinder or obstruct the natural rhythm of my womb, blood and body. This was something that I had been going back and forth about for over a year and it finally reached a time when my desire for a deeper connection with my own body outweighed my excuses.
For me it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
The removal of my IUD not only brought back my full bleed cycle but along with it came new waves of creativity, acceptance for my body and connection to my womb and heart. The process of honouring my own cycle and blood, saw me also switch to vegan period pants and a moon cup as well in an effort to keep everything as natural as possible. All of this changed the way I felt about my periods, my blood and my body.
This week the connection got even stronger. As the new moon power and the energy of death and rebirth moved around, I got the call to connect with the earth and to heal my own womb. After listening and deciding to just go with it I returned my blood to the earth. This simple act of bleeding directly onto the earth in my own backyard resulted in a deep sense of gratitude and love from my womb and my heart. The feeling was powerful and healing and a way that my womb was forgiving me for not listening to it sooner.
The connection I now experience between my womb and my heart has filled my body with complete acceptance and love. I am so proud of myself at finally getting to this place where I feel at peace within my own body; pubic hair, blemishes and greys all included.
It finally feels like my soul and body have returned home together with nothing but love for me.
