We know what our needs are, we know where we're at in our cycles, and having a menstrual cycle helps me tangibly see where I'm at, and I also can feel it once I'm like nearing the end of my period.
Feeling like you’re always on the go, trapped in a never-ending cycle of productivity? Vanessa Persephone knows the struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Angels Anonymous', Vanessa, a yoga instructor and integrative health coach, opens up about her challenges with slowing down and resting. She candidly shares how our culture's relentless pace can make rest feel impossible and even make us feel worthless when we try to take a break.
But there's hope – and it's rooted in understanding our body's natural rhythms. Vanessa introduces the concept of infradian rhythms, which are cycles longer than a day, such as the menstrual cycle. By aligning with these rhythms, she explains, we can find a more balanced and nurturing way to live. She also touches on the divine feminine and how embracing these aspects can lead to greater self-care and self-love.
Vanessa breaks down the four phases of these cycles, likening them to the seasons, and explains how each phase has its own unique energy and needs. But it’s not just about cycles and rhythms. Vanessa dives into the role of chakras – the energy centers in our bodies – and how they influence our well-being.
She emphasizes the importance of connecting with nature, whether it’s putting your feet on the earth or simply spending time outside, to release pent-up energy and negative ions. With her raw and relatable approach, Vanessa’s insights are both engaging and practical. She reminds us that all emotions are valid and that it's okay to feel negative sometimes. Her message is clear: slowing down is a powerful form of self-care, not a weakness.
By honoring our personal cycles and being flexible with ourselves, we can lead more fulfilling lives. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the constant push to be productive, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how you can slow down, honor your cycles, and embrace a more balanced way of living.
