"We can reclaim the wisdom of the menstrual cycle by tuning in to our cyclic nature and celebrating it as a source of our female power. Astrologer Sioux Rose put it this way in her book 'Moon Dance: The Feminine Dimensions of Time': "Since women are biologically clocked to the moon, we are destined to feel her cycle changes via our monthly menses. This rhythmic correspondence represents the uncharted feminine realm of time. Divine heritage bequeathed to women. The ebb and flow of dreams, creativity, and hormones associated with different parts of the cycle offer us a profound opportunity to deepen our connection with our inner knowing. This is a gradual process for most women, one the involves unearthing our personal history and then, day by day, thinking differently about our cycles and living with them in a mindful way."
