Ok I admit it - I am a bit cycle obsessed 🀣 ❣️
But ever since I learnt about cyclical living everything has just made sense.
It gives my life a framework and meaning that is tied to the real living breathing world.
Living in flow with the changing dynamics of the Earth, Moon and Stars is actually fun ! And super supportive for my well-being and daily life.
Right now I am sick with a cold - so although it is peak Summer energy here with the Solstice energy lingering and rising Moon energy (full moon in a few days) my body is telling me it's in need of rest. So instead of resisting as I might have done in the past I am surrendered. I know it will pass and this cold is just a season of my body needing rest and nourishment.
Cyclical wisdom helps me surrender into the phase I am in. To get out of the way of living where my mind leads - telling me how things "should be". Instead of inner thoughts that say "I should be in my peak Summer social energy" - I exhale and relax into acceptance.
I accept my own inner flow as wise.
My own mysterious rhythm of energy, inspiration, creativity, illness.
Why fight what is ?
When we embrace what is instead of fighting it with "shoulds" we can start enjoying life.
In writing this my nervous system is saying a big yes !
My body is saying thank you.
What season are you in right now ?

How can we balance DOING with BEING ?
That is a question that arises for me during the Waning and Dark Moon phase of my Menstrual Cycle and also in relation to the yearly seasonal cycle and monthly Moon cycle.

Our culture is so geared towards the half of the cycle that is rising, active, productive, creative. And so against the other half of the cycle that is about slowing down, pausing, reflecting, integrating, recovering.

But both are needed. One without the other causes imbalance. We can see this in our world today with illness and burnout being so prevalent and the degradation of our planet being committed on such a large scale under the premise of endless progress and consumption.

Our culture has shunned the elements of rest, pause and reflection that are needed to find a balanced pace of life. Instead the system carries on full steam ahead without a backwards glance at the horror in its wake.

Our feminine bodies are the same. If we are living in alignment with the fast paced world that tells us rest = laziness then our bodies are paying the price.

In Women's Culture - the culture that has been systematically targeted and erased by the patriarchy - we knew the value of both poles of doing and being. Women learnt this through their innate inner biological process of the Menstrual Cycle.

Each Moon a Woman (in her bleeding years) rides the wave of hormones that brings her to the peak at ovulation and then the descent at Menstruation. Each month a Woman pxperiences physically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually this whole wave, the cycle of rising and descent. Of creation and dissolution.

Menstruation is the polar opposite to Ovulation. She is the deep pause, the midnight, the Dark Moon, the deep sleep.

Menstruation is our call to turn within, to pause and create space to be with our inner world in a present, soft and sensitive way.

When we honour this we allow the full cycle to complete and find balance and we therefore receive the benefits of this period of rest and reflection.

When your blood arrives can you gift yourself a sacred pause?

Moon Map for this cycle πŸŒ•
We have already passed the First Quarter Moon and are rising towards the Full Moon on the 3rd of January 2026 - AEST.
It's a big time of year ! Especially for us in the Southern Hemisphere with Christmas (for those who celebrate it), New Years and Summer Solstice all coalescing into a jam packed social calendar with the peak energy of the Solstice heightening it all.
I have been enjoying "down days" at home between all the socialising. For me they are so necessary - otherwise I burn out. And I want to enter the new calendar year feeling nourished not tired. My little family just spent 2 weeks camping by the sea which was the perfect way to unwind and relax from a big year. Unwinding the knots of tension, settling the nervous system and surrendering into a different pace.
For me this time of year feels so liminal.
With so many industries, businesses and parts of the community like school aged families taking holidays around this time of year it feels to me like an easy time to switch off and give myself permission to be in "holiday mode".
Although this year is feeling different as it's my first year of being a mother so time has warped and my internalised pressure and programming around working and being productive have totally been shifted.
It still feels like a time I can surrender more deeply into enjoying play, freedom and family 🌞
As we rise towards New Year's and our Full Moon we are rising towards what I feel is our Summer Solstice Moon - the Full Moon closest to the Solstice. It feels like a ripe moon.
Like the peak of a coalescing Sun and Moon cycle.
Can you feel it too?
Let's see what this week brings πŸ™

As my babe turns 1 this week I am shifting into a new phase and opening my doors for healing offerings again. My passion is working with Women to soften, exhale, feel and heal.
Full Body Relaxation Massage uses techniques I learnt in an Aryuvedic Massage training I did in India 10 years ago and my own intuitive weaving and continued study as I feel and work with your body and energy to release what is ready to shift. Bodywork for me is sacred ceremony where we enter an altered state to access healing and insight with our inner wisdom and calling in the pulse of life that recalibrates healing ✨
Womb Hara Massage is a modality I have trained in through and is a deeply sacred healing massage designed to support Women's bodies and assist with so many different Women's challenges. Contact me to discuss Womb and Pelvic challenges you are experiencing and how Womb Hara Massage can support you. I will share more about this soon.
I also offer Shamanic Womb Journeys for those wanting support to address specific challenges and to get in contact with their inner landscape for healing and self awareness.
I would love to welcome you into my home temple space πŸ™DM me to chat and schedule a session β™₯️

As we near the Spring Equinox I am really feeling the spirit of the land coming alive!
The animals are out enjoying the glorious weather.
The flowers are blooming and their scent filling the air.
And I am feeling my creative fire πŸ”₯ coming alive again after a deep winter postpartum recovery πŸ™
Are you feeling the rising energy of Spring?
How will you be honouring the Equinox?

Acknowledging the growing light of the Moon.
Feeling the rising energy in my own body and life πŸ’—
Are you riding the rising wave of the cycle?
It is peaking early Monday morning with the Blood Moon Eclipse 🀯

Each cycle as I see the new Crescent Moon in the sky I light up with excitement for the cycle ahead ✨
The bubbling excitement in my belly reminds me that the energy is rising and anything is possible.
What do I want to put my energy towards?
What am I creating?
This excitement and possibility is boosted right now by the rising energy of the Solar cycle for those living in the Southern Hemisphere. As the days get longer and the energy of the Sun grows towards Spring Equinox this energy of possibility, creation and expansion will continue to grow πŸ’—
What are you wanting to create?
Can you see this energy expressed in the world around you?
Can you see the plants and animals dancing with this rising energy?
✨

Blessings for this new cycle of the Moon πŸ™
We are in the descent of the Dark Moon πŸŒ‘ so be gentle with yourself and make some time for quiet stillness and rest ❀️
This is the time of unraveling, shedding and turning within. The necessary shadow phase of the whole cycle.
When we work with the cycle and let it guide our lives we live in harmony with the flow of all life. When we work against it and try to assert our will for how we want things to be within awareness or care for what is happening in the world around us and in our inner world we will come up against resistance, force and blocks.
My wish is for us all to remember the cycle wisdom of our ancestors and to live in harmony with the Earth again πŸ™
We can begin by simply honouring the Moon in her Dark phase and see this reflected in our own inner landscape and gift ourselves the treasure of stillness, resting and self-care at this time ✨

Happy Imbolc πŸ™
Really it's Imbolc week! Traditionally it is celebrated on the 1st of August but astronomically it falls at 6.27pm AEST on the 7th of August in the Southern Hemisphere.

What does it mean ?
Imbolc is a traditional seasonal celebration from many European cultures. Maybe a different name or a different story to weave. Before clocks and the Gregorian Calendar humanity used the changes and cycles observable in the natural world to keep time. The cycles of the Moon and the patterns of the seasons. These cycles created a natural calendar that was marked by families and communities. Imbolc being the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. These celebrations occur every 6 weeks and mark the changes present in the landscape due to the changing path of the Sun.
At Imbolc we are transitioning out of the colder part of the year and rising towards Spring Equinox. The days are getting longer and warmer.
For me in NNSW some of the deciduous trees are reshooting or about to! The stone fruit are flowering πŸ™ and so is my beautiful Magnolia 🌸
I love this time of year. The nights and mornings are still chilled but the days are beautiful and warm β™₯️
I love connecting with the seasons and the turning of the Wheel of the Year in this way. Taking time to acknowledge the changes and live in Earth time not human constructed time β™₯️

Moon Cycle Map ~ honouring the turning of the wheel πŸ›ž
Today marks the last day of this current Lunar Cycle and tomorrow will see the dawning of the new with the New Moon arriving at 5.11am.
The Dark πŸŒ‘ Moon is a time of inner communion, rest and surrender. The Moon teaches us that there is a season and a phase for all things. And just as the Moon hides her face at the Dark Moon she calls us to also go within and turn our gaze from the external world to the internal world.
Blessings this Dark Moon night.
May your dreams be filled with insight and magic ✨
And may tomorrow's dawn bring a fresh breeze to carry you forward into the new Lunar Cycle.
Much love,
Mikala
